Both Tina and Marlena are following the energy of the new moon though and find themselves making lists in an attempt to get organized and stay focused. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

It's Taurus season and Mercury moved into Gemini so we're feeling comfortable and chatty. Marlena and Tina both had energizing, family and food filled weekends spent outside enjoying the Spring air and warm Sun. Also, did we mention the wine? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

The sun is in the dependable sign of Taurus but as Mercury and Venus move into Gemini there is restlessness and change in the air. You might feel scattered and even overwhelmed by the goals you want to accomplish, but this feeling will pass and you'll get back on track. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

Remember QuaranTINA check ins? Marlena and Tina take some time to reflect on the past year of quarantine.

Tina shares an update on Male Energy and the girls discuss breaking cycles. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

Mercury in Aries makes us more impulsive and ready to get things started and keep moving towards our goals, but Mars in Gemini squaring Neptune in Pisces may throw us off and have us questioning those goals. Marlena and Tina chat holidays with the family, our Aries moms always keeping busy, and how we are still trying to figure out what to do with our lives depending on the day. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

Here at Avoiding the Crowd you know Tina and Marlena are masters of going off on a tangent. Today's episode however leads us to a discussion about decluttering, lightening your space, and how we have tendencies to hold onto physical things. This very Virgo episode reminds us it's Spring and a time of year we all tend to do some cleaning up! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

We've officially entered Aries season! Hopefully you are feeling motivated and excited to start fresh. Aries is technically the first sign of the zodiac so we can also say HAPPY NEW YEAR! With the Aries energy can also come some irritation and feeling overworked. Even when doing something you love you have to remember to take care of yourself because it's inevitable that you'll crash and burn. Pay attention to what your body is telling you. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

Marlena finally watched the Paris and Britney documentaries so of course we had to talk about it! After we sign off, be sure to listen to our added episode where we dive into the astrology of Paris and Britney. There was so much to talk about with the documentaries, there was no time for astro! Marlena added an extra bit because, why not?! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

Mercury is moving into airy, dreamy Pisces from rigid Aquarius. OK, what? Marlena says you could be feeling more creative and definitely a little more sensitive so be careful what you're watching, listening to, reading and even the people you're surrounding yourself with. Themes that leave you uneasy in small moments could creep back up into your day and have a longer lasting effect without you even realizing it. It's time for Tina to turn off the depressing documentaries and watch some feel-good Hallmark channel! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

We continue our move into Pisces season with a Sun in Neptune conjunction which only happens once a year! Things could be feeling blurry and a little unsure right now, but stay focused on your goals, no matter how big or small. With Spring getting closer your goals should become clearer so don't get frustrated if you're having a hard time pinpointing them. Also, Tina gives Marlena some homework. Have you watched the Britney Spears and Paris Hilton documentaries yet? We're gearing up for a bonus episode so stay tuned! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

Anxiety, my old pal! Everyone is experiencing some sort of anxiety right now that's either new or heightened due to the circumstances of the world. Marlena and Tina discuss how, amongst many other things, creativity suffers and we begin to do less of the things we love. Remember to be gentle with yourself, but also allow time and attention for the things you enjoy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

Marlena and Tina decided it was time for a general check in. Things have been feeling really heavy the past week or so and we can't get ourselves together. Is it the universe, is it the general weight of the world...probably all of the above. We circle back to how important it truly is to take care of yourself and that means finding a pace that's right for you. This can be hard depending on life circumstances, but don't leave yourself behind. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

There's a new moon this week so what does that mean for you?  Marlena gives us an astrological update on what Thursday's New Moon in Virgo could mean for you based on where it's landing in your birth chart.  Despite the fact that this new moon is visiting Tina's money house, Marlena is still unable to confirm that she'll be winning the lottery any time soon...total bummer! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

A cold open and we're talking about playing games. Not fun ones. Tina and Marlena discuss communication, the most powerful tool we all have! Online dating continues to be amusing and brings up the challenge of how best to navigate talking to a stranger. What's too much? What's too little? Will he think I'm crazy if I text too soon? When is too soon?! It never seems to end even when you're in a serious or long term relationship. We allowed insecurities to grow strong roots, but it's time to dig deep and rebuild that confidence within yourself! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/avoidingthecrowdpodcast/message

The stories continue as Tina shares more of her experiences around dating, both past and present, including the "primal" urges resurfacing.

Welcome back to a new season of Avoiding The Crowd!  Marlena and Tina are back with all new content around the topic of relationships covering romantic to professional and everything in between.  Marlena has been married for over 12 years and Tina is fresh on the dating scene...in the middle of a pandemic...what does that even mean?!  We can't wait to share our stories of triumphs, struggles, and perhaps new questions while we try to put our best foot forward navigating the evolution of our interpersonal relationships.   Our in-house astrologer, Marlena (duh!) will be taking a good look at Tina's chart (who has never requested a reading around her romantic life, believe it or not) as well as what the current astrology can tell us about current events and what it means for all of us!

We will forever be changed - hopefully in a positive way - to move forward and keep fighting the good fight to ensure equality for all. The events of today fuel the conversations of tomorrow, but are they getting too real for some? Can mature adults actually have a heavy and heated discourse with a constructive result? The answer is yes, if you want to!
