Venus Retrograde is Here! The One Piece of Advice To Get You Through...

0:13 But I'm gonna call it a Venus retrograde check. I know you've probably seen that phrase high, low, left, right, north, southeast, and west, Venus retrograde. And there are some amazing astrologers interpreting this cosmic weather forecast out there. I I looked at the squares between Venus and Mars and the oppositions between Pluto and Mars, and those are very important to take into account.

0:41 I have just never been someone who loves to get lost in the weeds. I understand their importance, but I don't know, just something in my heart and my gut is telling me, folks, in the big picture. Zoom out. Let's zoom out. And that's what we're gonna talk about today. Do a little Venus retrograde check-in since she officially stationed retrograde on Saturday, October 3rd, and she will be there until mid-November.

1:07 There's so many synchronistic things happening around this retrograde. I had to pull in the Sabian symbols. I always call on those whenever I'm like, okay, we need a little woo-boo layer here. We need a little psychic mediumship layer here to blend the science of astrology with the energetics of the Sabian symbols.

1:26 We have a podcast episode about those. If you're new here and you're like, what did she just say? Sabian symbols. Let me see if I can find that one for you. Give you the exact date. Go through the archive. All right, July 6th, 2026. So we ooh, you guys downloaded that one a lot. Okay. The secret messages in your birth chart.

1:45 Sabian symbols explained from July 6th, 2026. Go back and listen to that. But I want to pull those into this as well because there's just a lot of synchronicity involved in this Venus retrograde. And where to begin? Um, welcome to another episode of the Astrology Lounge. I'm your host, your friend, your astrologer, Stephanie Powers.

2:05 Be sure to visit the show notes for more information on how to learn astrology off the airwaves, and visit our website to book a private reading or session, consultation, Zoom session with snacks and tea and all kinds of fun stuff with me. Guys, Venus is my chart ruler. I am a Taurus ascendant, a Taurus rising.

2:26 I love it. And Venus is my bodyguard. You know, if you're a Cancer rising, the moon's your chart ruler. If you're a Capricorn rising, Saturn's your chart ruler, like you. Um, if you're a Gemini or a Virgo rising, Mercury is your bodyguard, your chart ruler. I always say hi to Venus. She's been an evening star, so every evening when I'm walking around the ranch and I see her coming up, I'll say hi, thank you.

2:47 And then I'll elbow Mr. Virgo, who's a Cancer rising. I'm like, say hello to the moon. Look, Venus is right next to it. Say hello and thank the moon. I always laugh at myself. Because you take this like hardy Texas rodeo man, you're like, say hello to the moon. And he's like, oh, howdy. I love it. I love it.

3:09 But uh, she's my chart ruler. And so when I saw her going retrograde, I was like, oh, come on. I'm human. I fall into the trap of oh, what's it gonna mean? I'm nervous. But then I remember, hey, you you are so Venusian. This is your girl. Relax, she's got you. Do you guys hear Jackson, my little black pug running around?

3:30 By the way, I share photos of the astrology lounge on our substack. If you want to go over there, I love sharing morning photos of the wind chimes, you probably hear of the pugs nails on the floor. You hear snoring too. Just so you guys can put a visual to the office. I should really do like a formal tour of it, but I don't know, guys.

3:46 I'm not in my content era. I don't want to edit photos anymore. I don't want to I am in my old age era where I just take a picture. I'm like, here it is. How does it look? This is reality. Oh, I'm getting old. But uh yeah, go check us out there. Substack, everything's in the show notes. The Substack is called Ask the Morning.

4:04 I came up with that name very Venusian, because Venus is about to be a morning star. But it's just to me, in the mornings, before you touch anything, any electronics, before you talk to anyone, you can just sit with a warm cup or ice latte like me of something and just be clarity. I I always felt like the early morning hours are truth.

4:27 They're truth. Unfiltered, raw, primal truth. So that's where the ask the morning name of our substack comes from. Venus is my chart ruler. I've had my eye on her and I've tried to keep spinning it through an optimistic lens. The last time my chart ruler, Ms. Venus, went retrograde was that fall, autumn 2018 time frame.

4:49 And I have dug through so many things, but during Venus' retrograde back then, I am like non-existent. I can't find pictures, data, nothing. I looked at my Instagram and that entire time period, I've got nothing. Unless I deleted it years ago, which I don't think I did, but I could have. I I was non-existent.

5:08 So I've had to really just trace my memory. And ironically, the last time that happened was if you're old here, you know this story, I was applying for corporate jobs. I was in my Saturn return, struggling financially, thinking, oh my God, I live with my mom again in my childhood room. I've got to get back on my feet.

5:27 So even though I quit corporate to try and make it on my own as a holistic health coach, life happened, it wasn't working. And so I applied to 93 jobs in person, got dressed up, handed my resume, shook hands, tons of things online, got two interviews out of all those, and no callback. Insane. And let me tell you, I had a 4.0 magnicum laude organizational leadership business degree.

5:55 There was no reason I shouldn't have even received a single call. And so during this Venus retrograde, and I wasn't big into astrology back then, so I did not know this was occurring, but I'm willing to bet that the exact day Venus went retrograde was the day I decided I'm not doing this, I'm not waking up on Monday and applying to more jobs that I really don't want out of desperation for money.

6:20 F that. It's like I stepped into my Taurus rising on the empowered side. Like money's not gonna control what I do. I just said to myself, what if I treated this podcast? It was called Light Workers Lounge at the time, what if I treated this like a corporate job? And so I made I grabbed like a scrap note card I found laying around in the spare room, my mom's house, and I made it look like a time card that I could punch in like I used to at jobs.

6:45 And so I was like, tomorrow I'm gonna wake up, I'm gonna clock in, punch in, I'm gonna clock out for lunch at noon and clock back in at 1 p.m. Get back to work at this computer, and I'm going to treat it as if I have a boss and they're tracking me and I have to work, which sounds kind of sad, but that's what I did.

7:03 And it sounded silly, it looked silly, like my mom was home, and so I would tell her, like, I'm busy, I'll talk to you at lunch. And she was just like, Okay, you know, and if people like invited me to places or do things, I say, I can't, I'm working. But I have a lunch break from 12 to 1, I can talk to you, even though it didn't.

7:21 Technically speaking, on paper, I didn't have a job, but I treated it like one, and I uh it sounds so easy, and it was, it was ever from then on out. I was getting roughly 1,500 to 2,000 followers every other day. Just boom, boom, boom, boom, and it kept up ever since then. It just kept going to 50,000, 100,000, 250,000.

7:45 It was growing so fast. It almost grew too fast that I was like, uh-oh. I don't believe in this level of growth because I don't think I'll be able to sustain this or handle this emotionally. Uh what do I do here? But it got me out of the house, back up on my feet, and it's just the spiral, the Fibonacci, it led me right to where I am right now on this ranch called Twin Moon from astrology.

8:13 And I just, if I go look at the front gate that we welded to say twin moon, and when everybody walks by, they're like, what does twin moon mean? Well, I'm an astrologer. Like, who has an astrology-themed ranch? That's some serious abundance. And I just I go from thinking I started this under the last Venus retrograde in my childhood bedroom at 29 years old.

8:36 Like, what an ego slap. But I believed in myself and I had to trust myself. And being ruled by Venus, I simply said I don't value working for someone else, and nor is that fair to them, because I'm gonna pretend like I care about their business when really I just need a check. That's not valuing their time, their space, my time, my space.

8:56 Let me get clear here. And again, I did not know this was a this happened during the Venus retrograde, but that was my last one. That was my last one. And uh here we are again. Except this time, obviously, I'm not thinking about career. I mean, we're building Airbnbs and have so much, so, so, so much in front of us in regards to growing the career, but I'm progressing through a new area of life.

9:21 Back then it was all sixth house. What is my day-to-day? Day-to-day routine, health routine. By the way, I got all my diagnostic testing back since you guys are invested in that, and everything looks beautiful. Your girl's healthy. And when I got my blood drawn, I put on my headphones, I had to waft the alcohol swab.

9:38 Like, yeah, I turned into one of those. What is it called? The vasovagal nervous response. That's me. Yeah, I gotta distract myself from needles now, I guess. I just, it's my sixth house stellium. My body is so just wild. Wild. But all that came back good. And so I know I had mentioned in a previous episode, like, I'm getting all this testing done.

9:58 I'm a little worried that during Venus retrograde, something is gonna come back. I do have a few more pieces that I'm waiting to get the results from, but all the other results are crystal clear, golden, chef's kiss. Yay! Yay! We'll see though. We'll see though. I think I have one more test of the first week of November, but I'm feeling really good about everything.

10:18 And here is something I want you to stick with. Here's my big picture, and essentially the whole reason why I came on this podcast today. Because I was gonna wait and just kind of go silent for the week and then come back for the beautiful 1010 October 10th Libra new moon coming up this weekend. I love new moons.

10:37 But something tragic actually did happen over the weekend. I uh got one of those calls that nobody wants to get. Uh, it happened on Friday, actually, the eve of Venus retrograde, which you know there's an orb of influence, sphere of influence. It's things don't have to happen on the exact day. It could be a few days before, a few days after.

11:01 But I got the call that nobody wants to get. My mom called. Your grandma's been in a severe accident. My grandma is like an 84-year-old spunky Leo with a cancer moon and a Capricorn rising. And uh, she was in a pretty bad accident. It was raining, it was foggy. She was on her way home from the grocery store when someone pulled out in front of her.

11:23 BAM! Crashed. Ugh. She uh sent to the hospital. One of the worst uh hematomas on her head just bulging out. I mean, when I saw a picture of her, I didn't recognize her. Truly looked like a second head was growing out of her forehead where she hid. And I always laugh at my granny and joke with her because she's little.

11:45 Huh? We're all little. I'm five foot two, she's probably five foot three. My mom's five's four. We're tiny bite-size. But uh, she sits so close to the steering wheel, probably literally six inches away, is what I think the EMT recorded it. I can only imagine the impact. The good news is, as you guys hear this, this is Monday, October 5th.

12:04 She's fine. She actually got discharged from the hospital after a surgery, a broken rib, and making sure she didn't get ammonia from not being able to breathe fully from the broken rib. She walked out of her bed. They did not push her in a wheelchair, which I saw a video of it. Uh, she walked. She got up, got dressed, and walked out of that hospital room.

12:23 Her entire face is black and blue. Truly, I told her to sit in a chair on her porch. She is her own Halloween decoration right now because of the hematoma, but badass, right? There's those are my jeans right there. Okay, I'm proud. But she's home. But I I just all weekend I felt numb, just numb because I'm not there.

12:46 I'm a thousand miles away. And I I just it was data. I just kept telling myself, of course, this happens on the eve of my chart ruler going retrograde. A freaking course, you know. Uh, but I just took it in and I said, This is data, this is data. So this is what I feel so called to deliver to you guys during this Venus retrograde.

13:09 Might you experience some tumultuous times? Sure. Might you experience something like I did in 2018 that changed your life? Yeah. Yeah. Especially if you have Scorpio placements between like seven, eight, nine degrees. But during any retrograde, I want you to like turn off the fear mongering because I know it's very easy to slip down into that, and then we fall into the gather information, more information, more information will keep me prepared and protected, sure, but maybe not.

13:42 Just take everything as data. When I got that call, I just said I hung up and I was like, okay, it's data. It's just data. This is just data. I don't know what's gonna happen to her, but whatever happens, it's just data. And what I mean by that is during a retrograde, don't make big decisions. Because when that happened, I wanted to look at Mr.

14:01 Virgo and say, dude, I'm sorry. Like, I gotta go live near my family because I I think I knew things were gonna happen like this. I don't like being so far away that I can't help and step in. I obviously, with life and responsibilities, I can't just drop everything and drive 15 hours to go be with them like I wanted to, but I was like, I feel the fears, do not make decisions.

14:24 It's just data, it's just data. And so I let it slide and I gathered it and I held it, and now she's gone. And I'm like, wow, well, good thing I didn't drop everything and drive because she's back to being normal and she's even scaring uh my little nieces and nephews who are looking at her like good lord, and she'll go blah.

14:40 She scares the. I got a family of theatrical Leos, okay? But uh, it's data, and now she's good, but it still is like, ooh, life is fragile. This is data. Because while we gather Venusian, what do I value data? We make decisions from it once these planets move direct. So that leads us to this week. As you guys listen to this, it'll be Tuesday, October 6th.

15:09 And October 7th is a big day in this Venus retrograde and future Mercury retrograde cycle. Why? Because Venus will be conjunct, sitting right on top of Mercury at 8 degrees Scorpio. Again, if you have any placements at 8 degrees Scorpio, I would love to talk to you. Please visit the website and book a reading with me because I want to ask and see.

15:36 It helps further my own studies to see the lived experience of things like this. So if you can't book a session with me, fill out the contact form. I just checked today. It's up and moving. I mean, you Leo placements broke the internet, but we're up and moving. So it's gonna be conjunct. Mercury, the way I think and speak, Venus, what I value, Mercury, how I express myself, and also the filter I'm taking in information from.

16:00 Venus, what I naturally gravitate towards. Deborah Silverman used the best example in applied astrology school. She said, pretend we're all on a bus together and we're going on a field trip, we're going to the outlets or the mall, a large shopping plaza today, and we all get off the bus and then it's free rain.

16:16 Go wherever you want to go. Your Venus placement, both the sign and the house that it's in, will tell you where you're likely to go. I know for me, I have Venus and Scorpio, conjunct my moon, sitting in the sixth house. If I were, first of all, I wouldn't be caught dead at a mall. So I don't know. But if it was a field trip with you guys, because you're my friends, and we all went just to have like a friend's day.

16:39 Um I would probably go straight to the food court and look for a smoothie. Or I would go to a supplement shop because I would constantly want to see what invisible disease I can bring balance to in my body. Or I would go to the pet store and yell at the people selling braider dogs and fluorescent lit cages, and then I would buy organic food for my pugs.

17:07 There's my Venus. On that day, October 7th, Venus and Mercury will be sitting on top of each other. Pay attention to this day, collecting data. That's it. You don't have to make any big decisions, you don't have to fear it the entire day. You are just collecting data. You're observing. Picture yourself with a white suit and a clipboard, observing.

17:30 That's it. That's all you're doing. Until things move direct and you can make decisions, the D's. Now, we're gonna intertwine the Sabian symbols, like I said earlier, because I thought, okay, the eighth degree of Scorpio is just shining in this story. So I looked up the Sabian symbol for the ninth degree of Scorpio.

17:49 Because remember, you round up in when you're looking at Sabian symbols. So if you're looking at something for the second degree, look at the third. If you're looking at it for the fifth degree, look at the sixth, etc. So the ninth degree of Scorpio's Sabian symbol is a dentist at work. Okay. The core meaning, so says AI overview on Google, the core meaning is practical problem solving and the cycle of maintenance.

18:17 It highlights how artificial or social habits can cause wear and tear on your soul, requiring death and rebirth, Scorpio, or ongoing maintenance, healing, and restoration to keep your soul and your energy moving smoothly. Practicality. The key themes of this Sabian symbol is fixing and healing. A dentist at work, when you think of a dentist, they are going into your mouth and they are looking for something underneath the enamel, deep inside the root.

18:46 And sometimes those things in our mouth connect to everything else in our body. So it's like, oh, I have this little cavity that turned into a severe infection, and it affected my entire immune system from this little thing that's so Scorpio. Actively stepping in to resolve problems in your body, mind, relationships, work.

19:07 Another key theme of this is consequences and corrections, recognizing that while prevention, dental care, but also life, prevention is ideal. We're human, we're not always gonna be on our game. Life provides ways to clean up and correct past mistakes or damages. You guys know my dental story. Never had a cavity in my entire life.

19:27 Getting settled into our new town here in South Texas. Thought I'd go get established at the dentist to be an adult with a sixth hostelium. And I went in thinking, I love cleanings. I love when they pick things off your teeth. I leave feeling so fresh. Uh-uh. I left with a neck a second appointment to get my first cavity filled.

19:46 Ugh. But I had no idea. But it probably, I think I got lucky that I found it when I did because it was a very easy cavity to fix. Whereas it could have been if I ignored it and I did not tend to my physical body doing things that I would rather not. And I mean, who wants to book and pay cash to go to the dentist?

20:05 Not me, but you need to. And so I think that this conjunction in this Venus retrograde with Mercury involved October 7th is simply us saying, okay, it's time to face it, right? We're collecting data. And if the data that is revealed on that day is something you don't like, you found a cavity in your soul, in your day, in your relationship, you found a cavity at your desk at work or your workplace.

20:31 You don't have to fix it. When I got when I walked out of the dentist appointment with my x-rays showing me where the cavity was, what tooth, I didn't go home and have to fix it immediately. I panicked. I was like, what? How long have I had this? Oh my gosh. And then I panicked about what was to come.

20:46 I went on YouTube and watched so many videos of how you heal a cavity. I mean, my Scorpio obsession was just for hours. Like, how are they gonna do this? How are they gonna put the shot in my mouth? B- And then two weeks later, the day arrived. It was 8-8, August 8th. I went to go get my cavity filled and I walked in, like, you know what?

21:07 I have to do this. I can't ignore this because I do not want a root canal. So I'm walking in, Mars and Aries. I'm a warrior. I'm a warrior. It's in my 12th house, so I'm a silent warrior, but I'm going in and I'm doing it. And I walked in with my stress balls and lavender and my noise-canceling headphones.

21:22 I put on Andy Frisella and I was like, let's fucking go. And it was so easy. I didn't even know the shot went in. Me and the dental hygienists were giggling the whole time. I actually liked the numbness. I left that appointment, even though I was so scared internally going in. I left Heizekite and I was like, I'm going home.

21:42 I even joked to the dentist. I was like, all right, I'm going home to have rice crisp retreats, popcorn, and gummies. And he was like, get out of my office. It was fun. I like to make days fun. But I he was like, no, for real, if you go home and get a good sweat on, your numbness will go away faster.

21:57 So I was like, all right, so I went home and I worked out because I was feeling And so strong and confident. And I was like, wow, I'm so proud of myself. I did something for my body, I did something for my mind. This was awesome. And so I share this kind of silly example because I think that this is the metaphor for what this week of October is revealing to us in the long scheme of this Venus retrograde that is intense, it is, is collecting data.

22:24 Maybe something is revealed to us this week that we're like, shucks, it's a cavity. I'm gonna have to get that fixed and filled later, so to speak. And we do, and we dread it and we think about it, and we watch YouTube about it, and we read podcasts, or we read podcasts, we listen to podcasts and read transcripts, and we just we dig, dig, dig and gather more data, data, data to prove that it's not gonna be so bad.

22:48 And it comes and it's not so bad, and you feel so empowered and beautiful and healthy, and you're like, wow, I actually really liked this retrograde. So I thought that was interesting. If you guys are big into Sabian symbols, look it up. It's all about the eighth degree of Scorpio, it's highly about paying close attention to small neglected details before they turn into a major crisis bar.

23:13 Boom. I think that is so strong for this October 7th date of the conjunction between Venus and Mercury. So, guys, that's it. That's really all I wanted to come on here and say hi. Hello. This is a quick one. I just didn't want the whole week to go by without you guys knowing that I'm thinking about you, and I'm over here studying in the lounge.

23:33 Come follow us on Substack so you can see pictures of what everything looks like over on my end. Feel more connected through this invisible speaker. But this is it. I I would love for you guys to go to the website, fill out the contact form. I love seeing your sun and your moon signs, seeing what signs I'm attracting right now.

23:50 It's really cool. I love when you share your charts with me. I I obviously I it guts me because I want to send you guys lengthy responses when I look at your charts you send me. You send me your families, your kids, you're I love it. I get the zoomies when you're like, look at my mom's chart. You'll never believe this.

24:07 I love, love, love, love, love it. I don't have enough time in the day to respond uh the way I'd like to, but I appreciate it and I see most of it. So thank you guys for interacting with me over there. And yeah, send me your Venus retrograde stories already. I know we just started it, but this is a really cool retrograde.

24:26 Venus is a very special planet, and collectively, well, we already know that we are doing some serious rewiring around sex, um, power, hidden things. What is it, the Cornell 7? Have you guys heard of the Cornell 7, the seven guys who raped a woman, and now we're starting like a Jane Doe type thing, where it's like, don't mind who that girl was, what she looks like, what her name is.

24:48 Look what happened. So that is such a Scorpio theme of the Me Too movement, of the now the Jane Doe movement. It's like, okay, there are some serious. I was gonna write about this on Substack too. Now that I think about it, it's so Venus retrograde. My own experiences of sexual abuse and dealing with um, I say that so bluntly.

25:11 I I've never been raped before. Thank you, high heavens. But I've definitely had some really sketchy experiences with men where it's like, do you understand? No, do you understand how uncomfortable it makes a woman feel? I've experienced firsthand, I've watched friends experience it firsthand. You guys so vulnerably and bravely share your stories with me firsthand to a point where I'm like raising a little boy into a young man is like the ultimate, the ultimate lesson and growth and way to heal the world, honestly.

25:48 If you think about it from that lens. But getting off topic, I just thought that was an interesting thing to be coming up right when Venus goes retrograde in the sign of Scorpio. It's like women are now talking more about we're not protecting men's names or what they've done to us. We're being very honest.

26:06 And I've seen that on Substack too, where I'm like, goodness sake, here's like 55, 60-year-old women sharing their experiences of infidelity, of cheating, of sexual abuse from family members. It's some serious Scorpio stuff going on in the air. And of course, the Epstein list, my goodness, I just at some point I'm like, what if Jeffrey Epstein's not even a real person?

26:28 What if what if you made him up to distract us? It just seems like our obsession with this is I don't know. Listen, I was the little girl in elementary school in New Hampshire. George Bush, who was president at the time, came to visit, and everybody was just, oh yeah, Mr. President. And I was like, that's just a human.

26:44 Why are you guys getting so excited and saluting a human? Like and I never got down. This is just my personal opinion. I respect everyone's, so I hope you respect mine. But I have never felt like a vote matters. That's that's my Scorpio radar. I just don't. I feel like my dollar is my vote. So who I buy things from, who I give money to, I feel like that's a real vote of power.

27:15 I don't know. Just my Scorpio thing right there. So I have a feeling that that is a subject that will come up as we collectively as we get deep into this Venus retrograde. But irregardless, I'm really excited for it. I can't wait for 1010 this Saturday, the 10th of October, to have that beautiful Libra new moon that will be opposing Saturn.

27:34 So it's beautiful, but it's serious. But yeah, this seems like it's a pretty intense, powerful week. And I just wanted to pop on and say, What's up? I see you, I feel you, uh, you're collecting data, and that's it. I've already had some amazing data, and then some your grandma got in a serious accident data.

27:53 Goodness sake. I but it showed me value. It did because I watched my aunts and uncles and my mom and my brother and my nieces and my nephew. I watched them all who are there in Indiana rally around her, and I thought, wow, she's a real matriarch. She went through sexual abuse, she went through psychological physical abuse, and she still came out with kids that absolutely love her as adults and surround her.

28:19 And so I just watched this my family come together from afar, and I felt so proud. I felt so like I took all this for granted because I just thought because I was born into it that this is it. This is how everyone's family is, but I have experienced now that that's not. And this morning, my mom she sent me a message.

28:45 She always texts me in the morning. We always send each other morning messages, and then we'll send each other pictures of our dinner at night. It's really sweet now that I say it out loud, but it is just my day today, and so I think I've taken it for granted. It's just my normal, you know. But I woke up, I listened to her audio message, and she said, Good morning.

29:03 Today we're gonna make our reality a good one. Let's have a great day and make a positive reality. And I was just like, that's her Aquarius way. But I thought, here my mommy is sending me morning motivation, and I'm almost 40 years old. Like it's just, and I can't tell you how much I crave just pulling into her farmhouse driveway on the gravel that the grass is growing over and just curling into her and her warm, soft body.

29:33 And I do, I just melt into being a five-year-old again. Listen, I didn't grow up with a dad. My poor dad suffers severely from mental illness and alcoholism. It breaks my heart. He is my twin Scorpio moon, but I've never met him full. I mean, I've met him, but I don't know him. What's the hazlet line I always say?

29:52 I know what you like, but don't know what you're like. That's that's me. And so, while it sucks, I've never had a bonus dad, stepdad. I've just never had a male figure. My mom has totally made up for that. So I, you know, we all have pros and cons, pros and cons. Potato potato. My mom definitely gave me lots and lots of love and protection and safety.

30:15 Um, so with that said, I hope you guys have already started to collect your own Venus retrograde data. I hope you've seen where you've misvalued things, right? Like I've always loved my family, but did I always value them? Maybe not. Got a little too comfortable. So the tragedy of the weekend and the awful bloody bruised photos of my poor old grandmother who is such that Capricorn rising woman, I tell you guys, she's gonna live to triple digits.

30:42 I have no doubt.

30:44unknown I know.

30:45 Oh, you guys, she takes care of a cat colony. She takes care of like 20-something cats, stray cats, and they all just like pile into her yard, and we call it slopping the cats. She goes to Walmart and she mixes this wet cat food with dry cat food, and it's in a bucket, and we have this like big spoon, and we just have these uh like cement pavers, and we just slop the cats, and there will be a whole colony of them.

31:10 And I think I posted a photo of that somewhere, whether it was Substack or Instagram. You guys loved it, and you were like, Can we come over to her house? I mean, she could have up to 30 cats sometimes, especially when kittens are there, and oh, we've tried to spay and neuter. Trust me, neuter scooter is a friend of ours.

31:30 We donate, by the way. I donate a portion of my readings every single week to animal shelters, and earlier this year I donated a lot to the spay and neuter of our small Chandler Indiana town to get some of those cats fixed. So, yes, we're big into animal stuff. There's so much about me. I feel like you don't know because I just come here and teach astrology.

31:50 But but, anyways, guys, I gotta run. Let's to do. I'm strength training now because even though my my labs and my diagnostics came back really good, I'm getting a little I'm like right on the edge of pre-diabetes. I it runs in my family, speaking of them. It does. I have a Sagittarius uncle that just got a toe amputated because he doesn't give a crap about his diabetes.

32:14 So, genetics, I don't know. I think I eat pretty good. I could probably stand to move my body more now that I'm in my 30s, but yeah, my glucose is a little too high. But I think it's because um a Venus ruled chart. I'm just sweet. I'm just sweet inside out. So I gotta go pump some iron, but thank you guys for being here.

32:34 Thank you for trusting me with your astrology education. Uh hey, later this month we got a lot to talk about between uh the Venus conjunct sun when she re emerges as a morning star. We've got the Taurus full moon, and of course, I will be back in a couple of days to discuss the Libra new moon coming up this weekend.

32:54 So stay tuned. Visit the website, show notes. See you guys then. Bye.
