Welcome to Ghost of a Podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Lanyadoo. I'm an astrologer, psychic medium, and animal communicator, and I'm going to give you your weekly horoscope and no-bullshit mystical advice for living your very best life.

Welcome back to Ghost. This week, we are going to look at the astrology for July 7th through the 13th of 2024. We have a bunch of supportive transits and then one really challenging one. I want to take a hawk-eye view for a moment and talk about the kind of big-picture astrology that is occurring, not just the weekly stuff.

If you listened to my 2024 year-ahead episode, which⁠—if you haven't, it's easy for you to find on this here internet. But if you listened to that episode, you may remember that a big theme that I touched on in regards to Neptune and Saturn in Pisces, and just the astrology in general of this year, was a paradox or "and also."

I said something to the effect of that I wanted to give you a heads-up that in 2024 we are going to continue to live through a time of paradox and struggle as we are confronted with uncertainties, ambiguities, conspiracies, and cults. And how we show up and participate with things this year will lay a foundation of what's to come in '25 and '26. And this is contextual to Neptune being in Pisces now and how it's going to shift into Aries, which is something I touched on in last week's episode.

Now, I will acknowledge something that⁠—I don't know. I've maybe mentioned it before on the podcast; maybe I haven't. But creating those year-ahead horoscopes, those forecasts, is really hard for me as a human person. I find them incredibly challenging, and not astrologically challenging, although of course it takes a fair amount of research and labor and all the things. That's not why it's hard.

I remember all too well in 2020 how everybody asked me as an astrologer, "When is it going to get better?" and said, "It can't possibly get worse." But it has⁠—wouldn't you say⁠?—gotten worse on a lot of levels, like a lot of levels. It has gotten worse. And this is the thing: it can always get worse. I mean, it can always get better, but it can always get worse. And it is not helpful to you as an individual or to us as a community to tell ourselves, "It can't possibly get worse. This is as bad as it is," because, honestly, it's a bit of hubris. Look around the world. It can get worse, right?

And again, I'm not saying this to bum you out. I am saying this because it is real. I cannot stress this enough: we must make coalition and community with each other. And when I say with each other, I mean with people we disagree with. The right⁠, the conservative parties and the right wings of societies around the world⁠, tend to be really excellent at falling in line and behaving in obedience, getting along to get along. Progressives and liberals, not so much. And this is for, actually, really great reasons.

But nonetheless, we have a tendency to allow perfect to be the enemy of progress. We are absolutely not going to all agree on how to achieve progress or even what real progress looks like. We are not all going to agree about the best ways to do things or the best ways to say things. But it is deeply essential that we as individuals and communities cultivate the skill to listen to people who say ten things, five of which we don't agree with, and to still listen.

We need to learn how to be in disagreement without shutting down or getting defensive. And this is really a difficult skill to cultivate, but it is an essential one for building a future together. Understanding that different people have different needs and different perspectives and are engaged at different levels is really important. And understanding who and what it is a good use of your precious and finite energies to fight and fight with is also⁠—it's so important for life in general and certainly the coming days and years.

We need to come together to fight our common enemy globally and locally, and that common enemy is fascism. It's racism. It's white Christian nationalism. It's ableism and transphobia and homophobia and misogyny. Pick your battles wisely because if you waste your energy on shit that doesn't matter in any kind of substantive way when you could be using your same energy, your same outrage, your same motivation, to actually be moving the needle in some meaningful way, to be creating change in this world, improvements in this world, then that becomes a thing that's on you. And trust that this system is designed to distract us, to burn us out, and to have us focus on infighting instead of fighting our common enemies.

The Pluto Return of the United States is not over. In fact, the transit of Pluto in Capricorn is not over. You may remember that the Pluto Return of a nation⁠—so we're talking about the Pluto Return of the U.S. right now⁠—is associated with the fall of an empire. And we are living through that now. And part of this transit, part of this experience, is masses and masses of people coming into the stark realization of the reality of who we are⁠—who we are historically, domestically, at our borders, and abroad.

The United States, I'm sorry to say, did not become a fascist state with the election of Joe Biden or Donald Trump. Biden's actions domestically and globally have been pretty fucking consistent with all the presidents before him. And as disgusting as it is, the genocide in Palestine is not the first genocide or the only one that we have funded as a nation. It is really important to understand the historical context to our conduct around the world and what the United States has done to people here in this nation.

Pluto will go back into Capricorn September through November of 2024, just a couple of months. But it's also just in time for the presidential election. And you may remember that the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Taurus meant that we are likely to see major surprises to that presidential election cycle. And I feel like we already have, and there is yet more to come. Time will tell.

In regards to this larger transit of Uranus in Taurus and this larger transit of Pluto in Capricorn, and specifically the Pluto Return, this final hit of Pluto in Cap and Pluto coming so close to the nation of the United States Pluto⁠—the astrology is demanding that we confront the reality that we live in, the reality of who we are, the reality of where we find ourselves, and the reality of the tools that we have available to us. It's Capricorn. We're getting real.

And we must organize and act to change⁠—Pluto is about transformation and change⁠—to change the systems that no longer serve us. And when we remove ourselves from the political process, it's really hard to do that. I think that there is absolutely a conversation to be had about conscientious objection on lots of levels. And also, lots of people are not engaged in politics now, nor have they ever been, while many more are newly engaged in politics.

In the existing system that we have in the United States and how it affects people here⁠—also the land here, the environment⁠—and because we are a superpower, whatever is happening here will meaningfully impact the world, so the globe, in terms of the environment. But also, we fund militaries everywhere. We fund humanitarian aid all over the world. We do all kinds of shit.

And when we do not actively engage with the system that we have⁠—it's all we have right now⁠—when we do not actively build something new that masses of people are motivated to engage with, then what we're doing is we are leaving. We're leaving our chair empty at the table and leaving more room for people who are more than happy to take that space.

Neptune and Saturn⁠ being in Pisces—this is what we're dealing with right now⁠—again, lends us towards being perfectionistic and having extreme and maybe chaotic views. This also further inclines religious extremists to be motivated to act. I gotta say this, and I mean this with all my guts: voting, whether it's for president or for a senator or a mayor⁠—whatever the fuck it is⁠—voting is not voting for a dear leader. It's not voting for a bestie or a romance. Voting is just a tactic, and it's a tactic that our ancestors have all fought really fucking hard for us to have.

And when I say our ancestors, I mean if you are a person of color, if you are a woman, your ancestors have fought really fucking hard for you to have the right to vote. And it's a tactic. It's not a panacea, but it is a tactic to choose your adversary. And it's important that we choose our adversary wisely because Biden⁠—real talk⁠—is a monster, and he is doing terrible things. But it would be wildly inaccurate to say that Trump and Biden are the same for us domestically, for the environment, for the planet itself, and for the American war machine and the way that impacts people all over the world.

Democrats and republicans are absolutely fucking same. That's true. And also, it is absolutely an untrue statement to say that republicans and democrats are the same. The truth is nuanced. We must deepen our ability to "and also" things, to hold things with nuance and complexity, to be able to acknowledge that in many ways, these two parties, this shitty two-party system we have and these two parties, are the same. And also, they are objectively, clearly, and materially radically different. They're both true⁠—"and also."

I have been saying to you on this podcast for years now that the Pluto Return of the United States is a time of revolution. But what we don't know is whose revolution it will be, who will win the revolution. Whose revolution is it? And now I kind of feel like we do know. It is the ultra-right wing who have organized, and they are winning in so many ways. They are poised to win on so many levels and in so many ways, including but not limited to voting.

All we can do now is choose our adversaries, to choose our fights with care, because the truth is a second term of Trump will be dramatically worse than the first. Anyone who says, "We survived Trump once. We can survive him again," you are not thinking this through. Hitler won, and then he lost, and then he won again. And that's when he did his damage. We must look at history to understand our future.

Trump and his teams have become more ruthless, more organized, and more efficient, and that is terrible news for everyone everywhere. And listen. There are many different ways to hold these realities, to look at this astrology, to understand history, to plan for our futures. There are many ways. I'm not actually super invested with you agreeing with everything I just said. I encourage you to come up with your own opinions and have your own takes and, if you're an astrologer, then to study astrology and understand how it applies to the current time we're in in your own way.

We should all have our own thoughts. But again, if I see things differently than you⁠—me, a little astrology nerd⁠—if I have a different take, is that a threat to you? Is that a threat to you? If you're listening to my podcast, then you obviously get value from the astrology that I talk about. But maybe you don't like that I talk about politics. Maybe you don't like some of the things I just said or have said historically. Can you be in disagreement without being in conflict? Can you resist the urge to engage in a cult of personality where you have to agree with everything someone says in order to like them or respect them?

I don't know what the answer is for you. But I personally like to engage with and learn from people I disagree with as well as people who I agree with. I like to have my thoughts challenged. And I want to encourage you to cultivate that skill set for yourself because it is a really essential one to have as an adult living in the world, but it's an essential one to have as Pluto will move back into Aquarius. And we are living through a time of rapid technological advancements, including AI. We are not going to be able to believe what we see, what we read. Things are going to change real quick. So your ability to have critical thought is going to be so important.

Now, I've got one more thing to say, and it's more emo. I know that you are likely feeling really scared and overwhelmed and demoralized, and I am, too, obviously. We are in a really scary time. The changes we have seen with the Supreme Court are terrifying. The architect of Project 2025 and all the shit he says⁠—he just says with a full chest on the news⁠—it is fucking terrifying. But this is not the time to descend into hopelessness and helplessness.

You are not helpless. And you might not feel hope right now. That's okay. But you are not bereft of hope. Hope is available to you. With the ongoing transit of Uranus in Taurus, we know that we must take radical communal action based on our values. And this doesn't mean that we want to be idealistic and perfectionistic, no matter how much all this Piscean energy that is active right now would compel us in that direction.

This is a time for taking material action that reflects your values one way or another. The truth of the matter is that they win when we stop fighting, when we stop coming together, because there are more of us than there are of them. Point [indiscernible 00:15:34]. That is it. That is the truth. When we come together for each other, when we cultivate the ability to not agree about everything but to agree about the most important stuff, we are so powerful.

So I want to invite you to manage your self-care, to do your best to create a healthy balance, whatever that looks like for you. But don't stop trying to create a world that you believe in, to create safety for all. And within that, trust and believe that masking is a serious part of that. And I'm talking about wearing a mask on your little face. The government lied to us when they told us that COVID was over. We know that. COVID is spiking all over the U.S. and Canada, but it is spiking. They wanted us to go back to work. That's it.

And we know that when we care about each other with action, as we were doing for a hot minute in 2020, we are powerful. We can make change. And in a fascistic state, that can't happen. The people can't come together and take care of each other. That doesn't work. And understand that COVID and masking is an important part of this. In a fascistic state, disabled people are some of the first, if not the first, to get thrown under the bus.

And so it is of the utmost importance that you look at your own actions and how they do or don't make the world safer for everyone, including folks living with disabilities, which happen on lots of levels. We must keep in mind that COVID is still a novel virus. We don't really know what the long-term impact on the immune system or the vascular system will be for having caught it once, let alone having had it multiple times.

Additionally, masking in a surveillance state, which is pretty much all over the globe at this point⁠—wearing a mask is a form of self-care and safety, especially if you are engaged in any actions that the state would penalize you for. If you've learned anything about Project 2025, there is a fuck of a lot of additional things that the state might start penalizing us for. So, for the love of God, wear a fucking mask, okay?

Wear a mask in public spaces. And if you are at rallies or doing any kind of political protest or political action, do not take pictures of people's faces. Do not take pictures of people, including yourself, even if you look super cute. We do not want to do the work of the state for them by documenting our lives and uploading them to social media databases.

Neptune in Pisces⁠—it has been a very long transit, and it is one that's put a lot of emphasis on glamour, of us showing how cute things are, how things look⁠—cute might not be the vibe for everybody, but how things look. Now, this transit is almost over, and it's moving into, I think, a much more challenging transit of Neptune in Aries. But the urge to show every part of your life to the public is going to go away for us as a society in soon-coming years. So do with that as you will, but there are many layers of how this is important for your safety and the safety of the communities that you live in.

Okay. Let's get into this week's horoscope. As I mentioned, we are looking at the week of July 7th through the 13th of 2024. The first exact transits occur on Monday, July the 8th. We've got a Venus sextile to Uranus with Venus at 26 degrees and 3 minutes of Cancer and Uranus at the same degrees of Taurus. That's exact at 4:04 a.m. Pacific Time. And we've got a Mercury sextile to Jupiter, with Mercury at 9 degrees and 50 minutes of Leo and Jupiter at the same degrees of Gemini. This is exact at 7:26 a.m. Pacific Time.

And as always, I will remind you that if you want to be tracking the transits as I do every single week, you can subscribe to my astrologer's transit-tracking pro tool called Astrology for Days. It's linked in the episode description and on my website, and you can just go to astrologyfordays.com to get it.

Let's talk about these two transits. First and foremost, they are lovely, supportive transits. If you have been really stressed, if you've been burned out, if you are feeling the call to socialize and connect with other people, to expand your ideas, to just basically do chill shit that feels lovely, these transits are for you. Venus sextile to Uranus is a transit that can often produce really lovely social interactions. These interactions can be fun, kind of have that spark of something new, so you might be experiencing something that's exciting, inspiring, or just a change from what you've been experiencing in general lately.

This transit is good for spending time with people. It's a great time for socializing, for making art, for being touched by art, for connecting with people and ideas that you are excited about. Venus is your values. So if you've just been like, "I don't know what I believe in. I don't know what's important to me," these two transits are really supportive for reconnecting with or clarifying your values and what you want to do about them.

This transit is also actually pretty good for dealing with your finances. So, if you have to organize your money, figure out your money, if there's decisions you're needing to make around your finances inasmuch as they reflect your values⁠—so where you spend or invest your money⁠—this transit is really supportive for that, and so is the Mercury one, but in particular this one.

On a more social and political level, this may be a transit wherein the advancements of Queer or women's rights is seen. We may also see some sort of positive development in terms of the economy, but what is positive developments in terms of the economy? Depends if you're a capitalist or not, what your attitude is going to be, or a myriad of other factors. But on a personal level, if this hits your birth chart directly⁠—in other words, if you've got anything at around 26 degrees of a zodiac sign that will be aspected by Taurus or Cancer⁠—then you're really going to get the best and the most of this transit.

A couple hours later, we have that Mercury sextile to Jupiter that is exact. This transit is really good for planning. Mercury is the details, and Jupiter is the big picture. If there's some sort of planning you need to do that requires that you consider the big picture but also all the details within it, this transit is for you.

This is a good time for considering your future, not in a daydreamy, kind of "Everything will work out; I'm sure of it" kind of way, but in a way where you're actually thinking through all the smaller choices within your bigger choices, all the little things within the big thing⁠. In other words, this transit really helps you to see both the forest and the trees. Because of this, it's a great time for making decisions. You gotta sign a contract or something like that? This transit will support you in that.

Now, we don't need to get ahead of ourselves, but Mercury is Retrograde for the bulk of August. So, if there are major decisions that you need to be making, this month, July, is a better one to make them than in August if you can organize your life that way. It's not the end of the world if you can't, but if you can, July is in general a good time, or a better time than August. And this transit is specifically a great time for parsing through your ideas and figuring out which are the best ones and how to expand them.

This is a great time for communication in general. So having conversations, difficult ones or otherwise, is well starred during this transit because all parties are more likely to be really listening and to express themselves with greater accuracy and honesty. Also, because we're looking at a sextile to Jupiter from Mercury, people are more likely to be forgiving, compassionate, open-minded, which is great.

If you are just looking to mingle and party, again, it's a great transit because this is a great transit for socializing and just getting along and having fun. If you are wanting to learn something, especially something that might be a little bit arduous or hard to make sense of, this is a really supportive transit for doing so because it empowers you to make connections pretty easily, which is lovely. And what is learning if not making connections?

The last thing I can say about this transit is it's actually great for trips, for travel. I mean, if you have an opportunity to go somewhere, then I would encourage you to giddyap. And I want to remind you that sometimes traveling is just about going to a different neighborhood that you never go to in your town, or it's more conceptual and you're reading a book and losing yourself in a book. There's a lot of ways of journeying. And I want to encourage you to explore life-affirming, expansive, and, if possible, realistic and values-based ways of doing that on and around this date.

Now, that brings us to the next exact transit of the week. And that is happening on Wednesday, July 10th. We've got an exact trine between the Sun and Cancer at 19 degrees and 19 minutes, and Saturn same degrees of Pisces. This transit is exact at 8:05 p.m. Pacific Time. Now, the Sun trine to Saturn is another fucking lovely transit. The Sun is your vital energies, psychological and physical energies. And Saturn is reality. It's responsibility. It's accountability. It's maturity.

This transit is great for easy adulting. So, if there are adult-ish or adulting things you've got to get done, yeah, schedule it for on and around this date, certainly the earlier half of the week. This transit just creates an ease and flow of energy between what feels authentic and aligned and what needs to get done, what you've already committed yourself to. This is a time where it can feel much easier to be realistic and practical and conscientious than it would at other times.

You may come in contact with a teacher that may be somebody who is consciously like, "I can teach you a skill," or, "I can teach you something. I'm older. I have more experience than you." But sometimes our teachers fall into the category of unconscious teacher. And an unconscious teacher will model for you ways of being that you know you do not want to embody or emulate. And so they're teaching you something, but not consciously. They're not trying to teach you, but you have learned a lesson. Because it's a trine between the Sun and Saturn, it's not going to be a big, burdensome experience, but you may have someone model exactly what not to do during this transit. And if that's the case, learn all you can. Let their mistakes be their mistakes and not your mistakes.

All in all, this is a time for being patient with yourself and others, to bring into your internal structure empathy and compassion that is netted by accountability, maturity, and wisdom. Wisdom is simply lessons learned through experience. It's something we accumulate.

This is a really lovely transit sandwiched between other really lovely transits. If things are particularly hard for you in your personal life⁠, and certainly when we look at larger issues that are happening in the world that are really hard and bad⁠, these transits aren't going to magically create lovely, expansive experiences. But they can be leveraged intentionally to give you a break, to create support, and to tap in so you can tune up.

So, depending on where you're at, these transits may be really especially helpful or just may help you to find your center or your grounding a little bit more. We will always want to make use of these positive transits because before long, the Sun is going to be opposite Saturn. And the better use you make of this Sun trine to Saturn, the easier that transit is going to be. That's how this shit works. That's how astrology works. It's cycles of development.

So tracking your cycle of development doesn't mean you want to be perfectionistic or idealistic about where you're at in the cycle. You just want to be aware and to turn that awareness into  something that you can use and that can help you to have more peace, agency, success⁠, whatever it is in your own life and in how you engage with the world around you.

Now, that said, we gotta look at the next exact transit, which is happening on Thursday, July 11th. On that day, Venus ingresses into Leo 9:19 a.m. But before it does that, at the anaretic degree of Cancer, we've got Venus 29 degrees and 55 minutes of Cancer forming an exact trine to Neptune at the same degrees of Pisces. This is a lovely transit. You're going to understand why in a minute.

But Venus trine to Neptune is a very romantic transit. Venus is your values. Neptune is your ideals. And so this can be a time where you start to get a little bit more realistic about your ideals or little bit more inspired in your values. This can be a transit where you get super crushed out on someone; you just put someone on a pedestal. You get really excited about someone. You may also feel lazy and self-indulgent, like you want to eat delicious foods and stare at a wall and kind of do nothing.

If you need a break, take a damn break. This transit can really support you in getting a break. But the key is, are you disassociating from reality or are you doing something supportive and nurturing and fortifying? Are you feeding your soul and yourself, or are you checking out? Checking out⁠—there's nothing wrong with it, but if you can find a way to feed yourself on a soul level, well, that's going to have a reverberation in your life and the world around you. So it's certainly the better option if you can figure out how to make that work.

This transit is not great for practical thinking. It's not great for serious concentration. But it is great for empathy, compassion, love, and tenderness, which is great, right? The bad news is that it overlaps with the other transit that's happening with Venus on Friday, the 12th. So, on Friday, the 12th, at exactly 7:12 a.m. Pacific Time, Venus is at 1 degree of Leo and 7 minutes and is now exactly opposite to Pluto, 1 degree, 7 minutes of Aquarius. And this is a really fucking hard transit.

Now, we have been feeling this transit pretty much all week building in intensity, but it's really been strongest in the last couple of days, so overlapping with the Sun trine to Saturn and the Venus trine to Neptune. Venus opposite Pluto is a very challenging transit. What it tends to do is spark drama and intensity to your relationships and to your relationship to your relationships. So Venus is our connections with other people. So it's not as much community-based connections. It's more of our personal connections. Pluto stirs the pot. Pluto is dramatic, transformational, confrontational, obsessive, and fixated.

When we are dealing with oppositions to Pluto from any planet, but certainly to any of those personal planets like Venus, we have a tendency to get fixated on our strongest, most destructive, intense, and compelling thoughts and feelings. And this can have you obsessing on things that are not helpful. It can have you fixated on what someone said or what somebody did or what somebody's thinking about you, when what's actually important is that you focus on your own homework, that you deal with your own compulsions.

Pluto's energies tend to be controlling, manipulative, possessive, and engaged in power plays. And if your nature is passive, then it's going to be passive-aggressive. If your nature is assertive, then it's going to be more aggressive aggressive. But what we can trust is that when Venus opposes Pluto, shit is going to come to the surface.

And so what you can know as a good student of astrology is that it's happening. You can either struggle with your own destructive or self-destructive impulses, or you can act in reaction to them. You can't control what other people do. You just can't. But you can control where your mind lingers, how you behave, which of your values you center, which of your feelings you center.

Some advice I can give you is don't be a jerk. Don't act out towards others because you feel entitled. You may be entitled. But how you behave is a reflection of you. So just because some other jerk is a jerk doesn't mean that, therefore, you should be a jerk, and that's totally cool. You want healthy relationships? Then be the healthy participant in the relationship.

And that might mean have better boundaries. That might mean do not engage because there's no way this situation can happen in a healthy way, or maybe you're just not capable in this moment of showing up constructively. Own it. It's okay to have limitations. It's okay to not be able to do something in a healthy way. Own that limitation. Be willing to be accountable to yourself and to others for what you can and can't do. You don't have to be perfect, but that doesn't mean you should be the drama.

Because Venus is opposite to Pluto, you may feel like you can't control yourself, like you can't help it but to obsess, or you might not feel like you can control your tone of voice or what you say. And in that case, just try. Do your best. You may not be able to avoid⁠—and maybe you shouldn't avoid⁠—confrontation. But if you're going to be engaged in confrontation, do so with integrity. Do so in ways that reflect your values.

And if you can't do that in an authentic and healthy way, then maybe put it off in a direct, honest, and forthright way because a lot of people, when it comes to Pluto, have their abandonment issues triggered. So, if you just ghost someone, if you just stop engaging with someone that you have some sort of expectation to have a back-and-forth with, then you may likely trigger their abandonment issues. And by doing so, you may be creating a whole new problem with yourself and that person. So be forthright. If you can't do something in a healthy way right now, let a person know when you'll reach back out to try to come to resolve.

This is a bad time for gossiping. And when I say gossip, I'm talking about shit talk, not constructively processing through your relationships with other people. I'm talking about shit talk. It's a bad time for guilt-tripping other people, trying to exact commitments or certainties from other people. It's a bad time for being dishonest.

And you may feel tempted to do any and all of those things. And so, again, I want to remind you that you have agency⁠. How you engage, what you engage with, and which of the motivations inside of you you choose to center and act from⁠—all of that is stuff that you have control over, maybe not easy control, maybe not total control, but control.

Now, on a social/political level, Venus opposition to Pluto can signify, again, abuses of power when it comes to women's rights. And within women's rights, of course, because we live in a patriarchy, we have an understanding that that includes Trans and Nonbinary folks' rights. And because of Pluto, there may be, again, abuses of power and losses of rights or fights over our rights. So we want to pay attention and engage in ways that reflect our values instead of just our anger or our resentments or our bitterness.

Whenever we're dealing with challenging transits to or from Pluto, there is a risk that we become bitter and that that bitterness shapes us. This is the risk in life when you encounter things that are cruel, that you let that cruelty, that lack of fairness, that shittiness, shape you in a way that it makes you smaller or match the energy of shittiness.

When engaging with negative powers, you can always strive to match those energies. And sometimes, honestly, that's the best you can do in a situation. But you don't want to become the thing you hate with a different hat on. Venus is opposite Pluto. Tap into your values. Embody your values. If you're going to disrupt your peace, do it for your values, for what you value.

Whenever Venus or any other planet is opposite to Pluto, it's not easy. It has no chill. However, it is very worthwhile to engage with these energies with an open heart and clear mind. Be intentional, and don't forget that where you give your attention shapes your intentions. So this is an important time to be really intentional about where your attention is focused and make changes.

If you realize you're just consuming a bunch of garbage or connecting with people that you actually do not like or don't trust, this transit is kind of an invitation to make a change. And that change may be dramatic. It may be subtle. But you want it to be based on your values in a meaningful and core way.

Now, that's the last exact transit of this week. And there's a lot of really supportive energy to work with as well as, of course, more challenging stuff. Whatever it is that you do and however you do it, I hope that you can tap into this present moment to experience whatever safety, privileges, abundance that you have, whatever you have, to really experience it and value it and to use your connection to those things to bolster you, to strengthen you so that you can make the most of your life and your connections to the world around you.

Now, if you haven't already joined me over on Patreon, please do. We get astrological. We get woo. We talk about rituals for the New Moon. We talk about all kinds of things, and I really just love getting to create content there and to share this huge amount of information I have about weird and woo stuff. And if you're already a patron, thank you. Thank you so much for joining me there.

And yes, my loves, every week, you are invited to write in a question using the contact form on my website and to listen to the midweek episode, where I give readings every single week. It's really a joy for me that I get to not only report the horoscope, which is the predictive form of astrology, but to share my love of reading birth charts with you by giving people who listen to the podcast a reading.

I hope that you tap into all the resources that I put out so that you, too, may love this glorious thing called astrology. All right, my dears. Take good care of yourself and others, and I will talk to you in just a couple of days. Buh-bye.
