Mercury conjuncts the Sun and Moon all at 28 degrees creating a grand water trine with Jupiter and Saturn. Luminaries only travel in direct motion in the sky.

Jupiter at 25° Cancer holds still as it slowed to retrograde on the 11th and stays at that degree for the New Moon. Jupiter and Saturn never get exactly trine to the minute during their emotional, intuitive visit in their respective water signs. But ‘close enough for jazz' as the saying goes! Within a few minutes, flowing harmoniously to support our taking a deep emotional inquiry putting the pieces together during this period for an energetic retake. The 28°12' Scorpio New Moon cosmic energies peak on 20 November at 1:47 a.m. EDT (Washington DC) and 6:47:01 a.m. UT (Greenwich, UK).

Send us fan responses! The path out of confusion starts with a simple move: treat your name like a business and your family like an institution. We open the playbook on status correction, private trusts, and the holding-company-over-operating-company stack that separates your life from your liabilities. From 508(c)(1)(A) associations to family trusts that actually govern, we walk through the documents, the minutes, and the benefits that let you stop co-mingling and start building.You'll hear how stipends, fringe benefits, and internal shares can offset housing, vehicles, healthcare, and education without turning every dollar into a tax trap. We unpack promissory notes to move assets into a trust at fair market value, then redeem value later—exactly how corporations do it. We also dig into practical identity tools: affidavits of birth, DS-10, and baptism certificates as alternative proofs accepted by federal processes, plus why the family bible should function as your private ledger for life events. It's not theory; it's recordkeeping that stands up.On the public-to-private bridge, we highlight grants, first-time homebuyer plays, chamber of commerce workshops, and direct talks with bankers to clean reports and secure financing. We talk courtroom posture, child support tactics, and staying in honor: respond on time, put affidavits on the record, avoid forced contracts, and document everything. The throughline is discipline—clean books, clear roles, and a beneficiary strategy that points to a family trust or charity, not to children directly—so stewardship outlives you.If you're ready to move from public dependency to private legacy—with holding companies, trusts, and documented governance—this conversation gives you the structure and the steps.

Get My Brand Masterlist https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2-2/ Get My Green Powder Masterlist https://drchristiangonzalez.com/green-powder-pdf-claim-form/ Episode Description Green powders are everywhere, but most of them are toxic dust with a health halo. Out of 25 green powder companies Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated, only 6 proved they're actually safe to drink. The rest? 19 companies completely ignored basic safety questions. That means the majority of green powders flooding your feed can't even prove they're free of heavy metals, pesticides, mold, or glyphosate. Green powders promise detox, energy, and vitality. But when they're grown in contaminated soil or processed with high heat, they can do the exact opposite—bioaccumulating toxins in your brain, liver, kidneys, and bones. The very systems you're trying to protect become the targets. Without third-party testing and certificates of analysis, you have no idea what you're actually scooping into your morning routine. And your nervous system is paying the price. In this episode, Dr. G exposes which major wellness brands refused transparency and reveals the only 6 green powder products worth your money in 2025: • Why do greens like spirulina and chlorella absorb heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium? • Which green powder companies provided full certificates of analysis? • How does processing (freeze-dried vs. heat-dried) destroy up to 70% of nutrients? • What role do green powders play in detoxification, gut health, and mitochondrial function?

In this episode on Certificates of Deposit (CDs) as investments, we talk about the nuanced decision-making involved in purchasing CDs and whether or not CDs are good investments, particularly in a rising interest rate environment, and we explain why interest rates are the only factor you need to consider. Wealth creation isn't solely dependent on CD rates, and we need to consider the impact of inflation and interest rates to gain a comprehensive financial perspective. The episode also explores how government strategies to combat inflation by adjusting interest rates impact not only investors, but also shape the attractiveness of CDs as an investment option. In a rising interest rate environment, buying CDs may seem like a good idea but it depends on your needs and goals. Wealth isn't created by buying a CD based on a rate. It's created by understanding why the rate may not be all that important. Banks look at what is known as the federal funds rate, also known as a benchmark rate. This is the rate banks charge one another to borrow money overnight that's needed to maintain reserve requirements. Upstream in the decision making process is the Federal Open Market Committee or FOMC, who meet throughout the year to discuss and set monetary policy. Within these policies, rates are set and typically linked to inflation. When those rates are set, banks may adjust rates on loans, deposits and certificates of deposit. But just like any business, banks will adjust rates to compete in their market as they seek to cover their costs and maintain a profit. CDs specifically are an attractive tool for banks, because unlike a deposit account, CDs actually lock up customers with a maturity date, which gives banks better control of their cash flow. The higher rates draw in customers seeking to maximize their returns. Rates on CDs matter, but not as much when you factor in inflation and interest rates. If inflation is at 7% and interest rates are at 5%, the net is 2%. The same is true if inflation is at 0% and interest rates are at 2%. You have to look at both numbers to get a full picture. When you consider the gridlock within the housing market and the amount of debt our government holds, it's hard to believe rates can remain elevated over the long term. The government is desperately trying to combat inflation by raising rates. These higher rates not only impact consumers, but they also impact the government. According to the Congressional Budget Office, or CBO, in June of 2023, they projected that annual net interest costs on the federal debt would total $663 billion in 2023 and almost double over the next decade. Interest payments would total around $71 trillion over the next 30 years, taking up to 35% of all federal revenue by 2053. These numbers are impacted by interest rates and with lower rates come lower interest payments, so the government has reasons to see rates lower than they currently are. The question is: Does it make sense to lock in CD rates while rates are high? It depends. If you have money sitting in a bank account that you don't need and the CD rate is offering a higher rate than your savings, then it might be a good option. A good idea is to compare CD rates to other options like fixed annuities and money markets since they share some similarities but also have a few key differences that could make one choice better for your situation. Certificates of Deposit are offered by banks as a savings account that offers a fixed interest rate over a specified period of time, ranging from one month up to five years. They carry penalties if funds are removed before maturity, and they're FDIC insured up to $250,000. Fixed Rate annuities are issued by insurance companies and are financial products that offer a fixed interest rate over a specified period of time. Early withdrawals can incur a penalty, and interest earnings are tax deferred until you start taking distributions. The guarantees are backed by the claims paying ability of the insurance company and are insured by what is known as the State Guarantee Association. Money markets are funds issued by financial institutions that are backed by highly liquid short maturity investments. Maturities usually range from overnight to just under a year, and assets can be quickly converted to cash with minimal loss of value. They are generally considered more risky than a bank, CD or insurance company annuity, and the underlying investments include such things as treasury bills, commercial paper and CDs. While CDs offer the safety of fixed returns, they are not devoid of risks and limitations. It's essential to understand both the micro and macro economic factors that affect CD rates before diving in.

Planet Buzz's episode "JUPITER TRINE SATURN" shapeshifting new realms of consciousness within the collective unconsciousness.Jupiter and Saturn form a cultural alliance as their orbits connect every 20 years. The last was on Dec 21, 2020 at 0 degrees Aquarius. A pivotal point as Pluto ingressed Aquarius five times between 2023 and 2024. However, Jupiter and Saturn introduced a larger new cycle of the next 200 years of their conjunctions in air signs. This shift from the material earth orientation of practical form upsets social context entering the communicative connections of thought and relationships.

Send us fan responses! The fastest way to lose your power is to give it away with your signature. We unpack how that happens every day—through forms, licenses, and registrations—and what it takes to reclaim control with private trusts, family covenants, and clear jurisdiction. From the opening beat, we ground the conversation in value-for-value boundaries, the reality that time is a resource, and why your name already functions like a business in the public.We walk through the practical effects of operating under a public trust tied to labor, then flip the lens to the private side: contracts, covenants, and family law that predate corporate governance. You'll hear how to think like a private family, not a public dependent; why nationality and allegiance matter; and how lineage, records, and tribal identity anchor your authority. We explore concrete steps: document your family story, keep internal agreements, and build entities that manage assets, disputes, and succession on your terms. Along the way, we preview our Atlanta training with trust attorneys, credit experts, and private practitioners teaching status correction, 508(c)(1)(a) structures, holding companies, offshore options, and grant strategy.Money talk gets real when it meets accounting. We break down why every debt is an account, how GAAP fundamentals protect you, and where contract law intersects with liability assignment, business credit, and lawful tax credits. You'll leave with a sharper map: when to stay private, when to interface with the public, and how to keep clean books that reflect intent, not chaos. If you've felt the gap between hard work and lasting wealth, this conversation connects the dots between structure, status, and legacy.Ready to operate with clarity and build a protected family enterprise?

He began practicing traditional Japanese martial arts in 2012, where he met the Buddhist monk Seiun, who transformed his curiosity for Eastern disciplines and philosophies into dedicated practice. In 2014, he officially took refuge in the Dharma at Tenryuzanji Temple, receiving the name Seiryu, symbolizing his deep bond with his teacher and the temple. Since 2020, he has been living and working in Spain as a hostel owner, while also working seasonally in Italy and Croatia as a trip leader during the warmer months.

It's very likely to happen that you're trying to tame your mind, but if you don't know how to do it, most likely your mind will tame you and make you feel like you're moving forward, but you're just looking for comfort.

In the West, the term "God" has become virtually a placeholder, a moniker kept pristinely vacant. Even Christians have been known to treat the scriptures as butterflies to pin, probe and prod, comb and codify, until some "value" can be extracted. For the Church Fathers, things worked differently. They came to scripture armed with convictions about God, which in turn provided the framework and habitat in which they incubated their biblical theology and cultivated a genuinely ecclesial culture. What might it mean to retrieve patristic culture-craft — the formation of communal life that flowed from their inhabiting the Bible — in the midst of contemporary secular society?Join Sam Fornecker for a second conversation with Stephen Presley, Senior Fellow for Religion and Public Life at the Center for Religion, Culture & Democracy and associate professor of church history at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, on his recent book, Biblical Theology in the Life of the Early Church (Baker Academic, 2025), on how the Church can learn from our ancient grandparents the liturgical, sacramental, and storied habit of scriptural engagement necessary to renew the Church in her vocation of "culture-craft" today.Enjoying this podcast?

Join host Sue Rose Minahan and special guest Jen Sachs for a potent fireside chat: "PLUTO MYTHOS." Rather than simply an astrological discussion; it's an invitation to explore the profound, metamorphic journey the soul is often required to undergo to evolve. Pluto is the cosmic architect of endings and powerful new beginnings—the planet that demands we shed what no longer serves us to make way for the brilliant, undeniable new evolved experience.As the modern ruler of Scorpio, Pluto mythologically stands as the third brother to Neptune (the oceans) and Zeus/Jupiter (the heavens). He rules the underworld, where the deceased dwell and where treasures reside. (Mars remains the traditional ruler of Scorpio.)This conversation aligns perfectly with potent November 2025 transits. Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio to join a four-planet stellium with the Sun, Moon, and Venus. Furthermore, the November 20th New Moon in Scorpio will form a grand water trine with Neptune in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer. This is a powerful, collective invitation to drop within and shapeshift inner darkness into guiding light.Essentially Pluto signifies profound endings and powerful new beginnings that accelerate our evolutionary journey. Expect a spontaneous and thought-provoking collaborative discussion that will illuminate these potent moments of transition!Joining Talk Cosmos founder and eclectic evolutionary astrologer Sue Rose Minahan of Kailua Kona, Hawai'i will be special guest Jen Sachs, of Seattle, WA.

Send us fan responses! If every document you flash is a key, which door are you unlocking: private control or public custody? We dive into the uncomfortable idea that “everything is taxes,” exploring how identity, status, and registration route you into the venues that decide your fate. From the first minutes, we challenge the reflex to treat IDs, car titles, and Social Security numbers as neutral tools. Each one announces a capacity, and that capacity carries tax consequences, venue selection, and limits on your options when conflict hits.We break down the practical difference between legal title and equitable title and why probate becomes the tollbooth for assets acquired in the public lane. You'll hear a roadmap for moving more private: structuring family and trust records, choosing identity proofs that align with your intended jurisdiction, and creating the paperwork that demonstrates control because you created it. We unpack how groups like Amish communities rely on baptismal records and family bibles, and we extend that logic to tribal forums, religious courts, and private associations that keep their own membership cards and governance. If you want a jury of your peers, first define “peers” with credible, consistent records.Language is a compass, so we pause on terms like attorney, creator, and redemption to show how commerce encodes power into paperwork. If “United States business” is the capacity you adopt when you claim certain statuses, then registration can feel like clocking in as state property. The pivot is simple: decide your status with intent, align your daily tools to that choice, and build continuity your heirs can rely on. This is a candid, no-sugarcoat guide to status, title, and tax positioning, aimed at listeners who want to protect wealth, avoid preventable court entanglements, and pass assets without friction.Ready to rethink your paperwork and reclaim control?

Episode Summary: In this intimate and empowering conversation, Amy Wheeler sits down with yoga therapist, postpartum doula, and mother of two, Alexi Neal, to explore what happens when the yoga practice you've loved for decades no longer serves your body in the same way.Alexi shares her journey from starting yoga at age 12, falling in love with the strength and presence it gave her, to discovering—through chronic pain, pelvic dysfunction, and motherhood—that her hypermobility was both a blessing and a challenge. She opens up about the difficulty of letting go of deep, stretchy poses that felt emotionally nourishing but were damaging her SI joints and pelvic stability.The conversation dives into:How cultural narratives around motherhood and women's health leave many women without the support they needThe physical and emotional realities of hypermobility and pelvic floor dysfunctionWhy heavy strength training became a surprising but essential part of Alexi's healing and empowermentHow honoring boundaries in movement is an act of self-respect and long-term sustainabilityThe “village” mindset and how it applies not only to mothering but to self-careAlexi's story is an invitation to listen deeply to your body, to adapt your practice as life changes, and to recognize that true yoga is not performance—it's about honoring what supports your wholeness today.Connect with Alexi Neal:Website: soulfulsomatics.com (Soulful with two L's)Instagram: @soulfullexi Plans of Study for NDMU Yoga Therapyhttps://livendm.sharepoint.com/sites/Academics/SitePages/Yoga-Therapy-Plans-of-Study.aspx?csf=1&web=1&share=EeZhGMscDMFOl1Lk0PD6gOsBTxvKkWvbfjhHLmMMuNpLFw&e=ApOX4h&CID=45c542e6-5528-4c68-a8ac-5596fb4fc161School of Integrative Health at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-healthMaster of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals. https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool

For generations, the church has told believers, "Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect." But what if Jesus never called us to perfection — only to wholeness? In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes to unpack how toxic theology, respectability, and race have shaped our obsession with perfection — and how we can finally get free. This episode of Holy Smokes: Cigars and Spirituality is proudly sponsored by Eden Theological Seminary. Join Eden online or in-person for an unforgettable evening with Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes as she delivers her lecture, "When Identity Wounds: Whiteness, Shame, and the Search for Repair."

The Cookware That's Secretly Poisoning Your Food Not all cookware is created equal. After months of investigating 21 major cookware brands, Dr. Christian Gonzalez uncovered a truth the industry doesn't want you to know: only one passed his strict standards for safety, transparency, and purity. Most companies, including billion-dollar icons like Le Creuset, Caraway, All-Clad, HexClad, and GreenPan - either ignored requests for safety data, relied on toxic PFAs coatings, or hid behind influencer marketing. In this episode, Dr. G exposes which brands are quietly contaminating your food, the dangerous materials to avoid, and how to choose cookware that protects your brain, hormones, and nervous system.
