In this fascinating episode of The Weekly Transit, Scott Tejerian speaks with Krista Shoe, a passionate coral conservationist whose journey took her from a corporate telecom career to rebuilding coral reefs in Panama. Currently based in Bocas del Toro, a stunning archipelago off Panama's coast, Krista shares her profound connection to the ocean that began when she first saw it at age nine.Krista details her work creating coral nurseries and building artificial reef structures to combat the devastating effects of climate change on marine ecosystems. Through her program "Mother of Corals," she teaches visitors to participate in reef restoration, explaining how they first learn about coral species in a classroom setting before diving to place pH-neutral concrete structures that become new homes for transplanted coral fragments.With diving experience spanning over 20 countries, Krista provides unique insights into the diverse underwater landscapes around the world, from the cold waters of Iceland to the vibrant reefs of Indonesia. She explains why coral reefs are crucial as "speed bumps in the ocean," protecting coastlines from storms and serving as nurseries for marine life. The discussion highlights how oceans produce over half of the world's oxygen, making their health vital for all life on Earth.Scott explores how Krista's astrological makeup—Aries Sun and Rising with Scorpio Moon, plus Mercury and Venus in Pisces—perfectly aligns with her ocean conservation work and bold decision to relocate to a tiny island where it takes just 15 minutes to cross from shore to shore.The conversation offers practical ways everyone can contribute to ocean health through mindful consumption and waste reduction, inspiring listeners to consider how their daily choices impact our planet's most vital ecosystems.(2:32) Meeting Krista Shoe and her astrological makeup(3:48) How Krista found herself in Panama's Bocas del Toro(6:10) Leaving corporate telecom for island life(13:52) First ocean experiences and discovering scuba diving(17:50) Learning underwater sign language for diving communication(20:20) Educational background and career path(25:00) Diving adventures across 20+ countries(27:42) Favorite diving destinations and underwater diversity(35:35) Why coral reefs matter for ocean ecosystems(37:56) Human impacts damaging coral reefs worldwide(42:57) Understanding coral bleaching and ocean acidification(44:51) Krista's coral restoration techniques explained(48:30) Building artificial reef structures with specialized cement(52:17) The volunteer program teaching others to restore reefs(59:18) How healthy reefs protect coastlines from hurricanes(1:03:06) How to participate in "Mother of Corals" programs(1:04:19) Personal sustainability practices to protect oceans(1:07:46) Life on a small island and environmental awareness(1:10:20) The expat and local community in Bocas del Toro(1:13:25) Final thoughts and contact informationKrista Shoe: motherofcorals.orgInstagram: @mother.of.coralshttps://www.theweeklytransit.com/

For the week of March 10-16, 2025, on The Weekly Transit, we explore the theme of Releasing Control as the Full Moon in Virgo illuminates what we may be holding on to too tightly. Scott begins with Oscar insights, examining the astrological profiles of winners Zoe Saldana and Adrien Brody, both born with the Moon aligning with their Ascendant—a powerful placement shared by many acclaimed actors, including Robert De Niro, Barbara Streisand, and Jack Nicholson. He also explores the common Mercury-Neptune aspects in all five Oscar-nominated directors, revealing how this planetary combination enables them to translate fantasy into reality through storytelling.This week's transits begin with Mercury conjunct Venus retrograde in Aries (March 8-14), creating a potent invitation to articulate who you are, what you want, and what you're willing to give in return. Simultaneously, the Sun, conjunct Saturn in Pisces (March 9-14), asks you to take responsibility for your dreams and confront what's holding you back. These transits culminate in the Full Moon in Virgo at 23° (March 13), the sixth consecutive full moon at approximately 23-24°, continuing a pattern that has repeatedly aligned with Uranus in Taurus since October—revolutionizing our relationship to the material world.The week concludes with Mercury turning retrograde at 9° Aries (March 14), beginning three weeks of reflection on authentic self-expression that will culminate with the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29. Supporting this introspective journey, the Sun in Pisces forms a sextile with Uranus in Taurus (March 11-15), encouraging the re-imagination of your self-worth and values.This is a week to let go—to release the critical inner voice, loosen your grip on perfectionism, and allow abundance to flow. Scott reminds listeners, "It's what you're holding on to so tightly that may prevent you from manifesting your dreams into reality. If you just let go, you create the space and opportunity for those dreams to come to fruition." By recognizing your unique gifts and celebrating your inherent perfection, you open yourself to the flow of life that allows your authentic self to emerge.

For the week of March 3-9, 2025, on The Weekly Transit, we explore the theme of Authentic Communication as Mercury transits into Aries, where it will begin its retrograde on March 14th. Scott emphasizes the importance of being real, honest, open, and transparent in our communications while reflecting on the entrepreneurial spirit of his podcast guests, connecting their unique creative journeys to Pluto in Aquarius and the celebration of individuality. This week's celebrity highlight features Mel Robbins, whose Aries North Node and Full Moon birth chart perfectly exemplifies the Aries energy of trusting instincts and taking quick action.Scott shares personal insights about our collective hypnosis—the belief that we don't matter or that others hold more power over our lives than we do. He recounts receiving a message from a distressed family member about political concerns, using this as a springboard to discuss how childhood experiences shape our neural pathways. He explains how the traumas we experience as helpless children create protective thought patterns that eventually harden and perpetuate the very frequencies they were designed to shield us from, comparing these limiting patterns to a child's car seat that no longer fits us as adults.Scott explores Mel Robbins' astrological profile, noting her birth with the North Node, Moon, Chiron, and Saturn all in Aries, opposing her planets in Libra and Scorpio. This polarization in her chart explains her work on overcoming people-pleasing tendencies and learning to trust her instincts—themes evident in her books: The 5 Second Rule and The Let Them Theory. Scott connects Robbins' chart to the current Mercury entering Aries transit (March 3-29), encouraging quick but not hurried thinking and authentic self-expression. Additional transits include Mercury Sextile Pluto in Aquarius (March 4-6), helping us break free from external control and reclaim our personal power; the Sun in Pisces Squares the Moon in Gemini (March 6), prompting compassionate curiosity about what emerges from our unconscious; and the Sun in Pisces forms a supportive Trine with Mars in Cancer (March 6-8), giving us courage to delve into past traumas and rewire our protective but limiting thought patterns.This is a week to protect your mind by recognizing when external voices have infiltrated your thoughts and created fear. It's time to disassemble the neural wiring created during childhood trauma and replace it with patterns that support your adult self through self-compassion and authentic communication. As Scott reminds listeners, "When you have the courage to fight for yourself in your own mind, not out of fear, but out of love," you practice the most authentic communication of all.(30:04) Mercury in Aries – March 3 – 29March 1 – Mercury Enters its Retrograde Shadow in Pisces 26°49' March 3 – Mercury in Aries March 14 – Mercury Retrograde in Aries 9°35'March 29 – Mercury Retrograde in PiscesApril 7 – Mercury Direct in Pisces 26°49'April 15 – Mercury in AriesApril 26 – Mercury Exits its Retrograde Shadow in Aries 9°35' May 10 – Mercury in Taurus Previous dates Mercury has transited through Aries. March 9 – May 15, 2024March 18 - April 3, 2023March 27 - April 10, 2022April 3 - 19, 2021(48:21) Mercury in Aries Sextile Pluto in Aquarius 3° – March 4 – 6 (Tuesday – Thursday) – Exact on Wednesday, March 5.(53:19) The Sun in Pisces Square the Moon in Gemini 16° – Thursday, March 6 at 8:32 AM PST(1:03:11) The Sun in Pisces Trine Mars in Cancer 17° – March 6 – 8 (Thursday – Saturday) – Exact on Friday, March 7.You can support the podcast through Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theweeklytransit/supportYou can support the podcast financially through Donor Box: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://donorbox.org/the-weekly-transit-podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theweeklytransit.com/

For the week of January 13-19, 2025, on The Weekly Transit, the theme is “Releasing the Past and Rebuilding the Community,” as the Full Moon in Cancer and the Sun's transition into Aquarius urge us to reflect on our roots, detach emotionally, and step into a logical approach to collective healing. This week's discussion begins with the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, including the Pacific Palisades and Alta Dena, where thousands of homes and buildings were destroyed. Scott shares a personal connection to the affected area and emphasizes the astrological alignments at play, particularly the Full Moon in Cancer—a sign representing the home and emotional roots—aligning with revolutionary Uranus. This alignment reflects both the material loss and the potential for transformation in how communities rebuild and support one another. We ponder the question, “How would you rebuild your community?” as we explore the deeper meanings of loss and renewal under Pluto's long transit in Aquarius. The Full Moon in Cancer invites us to release emotional baggage tied to family, upbringing, and ancestral patterns, clearing space for new beginnings. Meanwhile, as the Sun transitions into Aquarius, the focus shifts from personal identity to collective contribution. We highlight Aquarius' logical and innovative energy, encouraging listeners to consider how their unique gifts can help solve problems within their communities. Join us as we blend esoteric wisdom with practical astrology, weaving themes of compassion (Venus in Pisces) and responsibility (Mercury in Capricorn) into a message of hope: that through faith, logic, and collective action, we can weather challenges and rebuild stronger, more equitable communities. What emotional roots do you need to release to achieve independence and fulfill your ambitions? What unique gifts can you bring to your community to foster transformation?

The week of December 30 - January 5, we're exploring Endings and Beginnings as we transition from 2024 to 2025, a year that adds up to 9—the number signifying closure, completion, and the enlightened wisdom born from endings.

Interestingly, the first three New Moons of 2025 will also occur at 9°, underscoring the profound cycle of release and transformation we are collectively navigating.

Scott reflects on deeply personal experiences during years that added up to a 9—1980, 1989, 1998, 2007, and 2016—revealing how pivotal events in those years reshaped his life. He shares these stories to inspire and encourage you to embrace the endings and transitions that may unfold in 2025, offering a powerful reminder that endings often pave the way for growth, forgiveness, and renewal.
