CAPTION 1868 FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON, JULES VERNE.CONTENTS -JOHN-BATCHELOR-SHOW-9-17-2026 Foreign Conflicts Escalate Global Energy CrisisAnatol Lieven and Jonathan Guyer, co-authors of the report The Iran Trap, discuss interconnected conflicts in Ukraine, Iran, and Yemen threatening critical global energy infrastructure and driving up global diesel costs. Houthis disrupt Red Sea maritime routes while damaged Russian oil refineries reduce worldwide fuel exports. Public polling conducted by the Institute for Global Affairs reveals dropping support for foreign military interventions as four in five Americans connect overseas wars to rising living costs. Their report underscores public fatigue over escalating militarism and growing anxiety regarding unmonitored military artificial intelligence applications. The analysts argue that restoring diplomatic dialogue with China and reasserting congressional war powers remain essential steps toward resolving these compounding geopolitical crises. (1)Supreme Court Rejects Postal Voting RegulationRichard Epstein discusses the Supreme Court's refusal to permit the U.S. Postal Service to implement new mail-in voting regulations ahead of federal elections. Justice Kavanaugh concurred, emphasizing that election administrators lack sufficient time and software systems to process millions of mail-in ballots without causing severe delays. Epstein criticizes the rule as an insidious abuse of government monopoly power, comparing selective ballot inspection to an unconstitutional poll tax. Epstein asserts that presidential efforts to bypass Congress and override state voting authorities breach constitutional separation of powers and fiduciary obligations owed to the public. (2)Brazilian Election Scandal Shakes Supreme CourtMary Anastasia O'Grady reports Brazil's presidential campaign between incumbent Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro has tightened significantly amidst mounting financial and judicial scandals. Flavio Bolsonaro initially suffered in polling after soliciting movie funding from jailed banker Daniel Vorcaro of collapsed Banco Master. However, police investigations revealed text messages from Vorcaro seeking advice from Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, whose wife received a $25 million contract with Banco Master. Moraes previously led efforts to vacate Lula's conviction and silence political opponents. Exposure of judicial influence peddling leaves conflicted voters facing a critical October runoff. (3)Early Solar System Magnetism Shaped PlanetsCauê Borlina and David Livingston: Purdue Professor Borlina analyzed pristine Antarctic meteorites, notably DOM 08006, to investigate the early solar system's magnetic history. By studying calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs)—the oldest known solids formed 4.5 billion years ago—researchers discovered preserved primordial magnetism locked within iron-nickel minerals as they cooled below their Curie temperature. Measurements revealed ancient magnetic field strengths between 150 and 600 microteslas, exceeding Earth's current field strength. This confirms that magnetic forces worked in tandem with gravity to ionize gas and transport nebula mass. Borlina advocates for extensive future sample return missions across asteroids and Mars. (4)Grim Human Reality Of Hiroshima BombingCharles Pellegrino, author of Ghosts of Hiroshima, explores the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, detailing military logistics and human tragedy. Radar engineer Jacob Beser helped calibrate the detonation altitude, while Enola Gay pilot Paul Tibbets performed a sharp escape maneuver to avoid the explosion. On the ground, intense thermal radiation disintegrated citizens instantly or flash-fossilized human bodies at temperatures vastly higher than volcanic eruptions. Pellegrino details survivors like Kenshi Hirata and Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who astonishingly survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. The account illuminates horrific phenomena such as shadow people, shock cocoons, and fatal radiation sickness in children. (5)Latin American Political Instability And SecurityEvan Ellis assesses complex geopolitical shifts across Latin America. In Venezuela, opposition leader María Corina Machado struggles to return home as the U.S. navigates high-stakes oil deals alongside interim leaders Delcy and Jorge Rodríguez. Meanwhile, non-traditional U.S. counter-narcotics reporting reflects shifting diplomatic relations with Colombia and Venezuela. In Brazil, a close presidential election between Flavio Bolsonaro and Lula da Silva highlights deep polarization, judicial corruption controversies, and competing U.S.-China strategic interests. Additionally, Argentine President Javier Milei leverages historical Falkland Islands sovereignty claims to navigate domestic economic pressures and international political dynamics. (6)

Where are we most likely to find evidence of life, past or living, in the Solar System? Planetary scientist and author Kevin Hand looks to warm, salty ocean depths beneath protective layers of ice on worlds such as Europa and Enceladus. His enthralling book became a popular selection in The Planetary Society’s member book club. He recently joined the Society’s Mat Kaplan for a deep exploration of the best science.

Dalia Mogahed is one of the most prominent Muslim voices in American public life. For three decades, she has researched and defended the experiences of Muslim communities in the United States, advising leaders and challenging misconceptions about Islam, identity and belonging. But after a lifetime speaking for others, Dalia Mogahed is now exploring her own questions of faith and legacy. A cancer diagnosis on the eve of her 50th birthday prompted a period of deep reflection, bringing into focus years of personal loss, including the deaths of her father, her best friend and her mother, alongside the end of her marriage. Through these experiences, Dalia has been reflecting on how we find meaning, sustain faith and understand what truly matters. She reflects on the journey that has taken her from researcher and public intellectual to a more personal exploration of spirituality, vulnerability and purpose. She shares how faith can be tested, reshaped and deepened through moments of uncertainty.

Like everyone on Earth, I've been looking back at the work of both Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, in absolute awe of everything they gave us. For this week's episode of The Sewers of Paris, we're revisiting an interview that touched on both Dolly and Tim: My 2018 conversation with the drag performer who now goes by Alaska, and her longtime friend and collaborator Jeremy Mikush. We talk about all about their early influences, watching Rocky Horror together on a little laptop screen, and also the creation of the Alaska drag-sona, the time they sang Dolly Parton songs so loud the cops were called, and also how Alaska bombed her first audition for Drag Race.We'll have that interview in a moment. First a quick heads up that I'll be a guest at the pop culture convention Ancient City Con in Florida next weekend, September 25, 26, and 27. I hope to see you there!And! I have a new video up on YouTube about Dolly Parton's surprising connection to the gay community… and I have a video coming this weekend about the many ways in which Tim Curry shaped our lives.

From October 19, 2020. Hosted by: Dr. Pamela L. Gay (@CosmoQuest) Today's top story brings back our favorite red giant star, Betelgeuse. A new paper published in The Astrophysical Journal (ApJ) with lead author Dr. Meridith Joyce looks at Betelgeuse as a pulsating variable star and uses atmospheric physics to bring us new insights on what the red giant is up to.   This paper combines new observations with new computer models to derive the star's mass and size from its outward behavior in much the same way that one might derive the size of a jug based on what notes can be created by blowing across its opening. Different sized objects naturally resonate in specific ways. By understanding how Betelgeuse pulsates in the fundamental mode and first overtone mode – those first two pitches you can make with your bottle – they were able to work backward to figure out Betelgeuse's physical size. This method let them then figure out more accurately the star's distance because we know how big it appears on the sky, and there is a simple mathematical relationship between how big something is and how big it appears.    Our current estimates had been based on Hipparcos measurements of how Betelgeuse appears to move relative to background objects when the Earth moves around the Sun. This technique, called parallax, can be super useful, but, trying to measure how much an object shifts, when that object is a blobby star like Betelgeuse, can be a challenge! Betelgeuse appears to be about 42 microarcseconds (mas) across and seems to shift just 5.95+0.58 or -0.85 mas. This is a really hard measurement, and Betelgeuse hasn't been looked at yet with Gaia.    By working from the theoretical size they got from its pulsation modes, and calculating a new distance, this team found that the lower edge of that error in the distance appears to be accurate, putting Betelgeuse just 530 lightyears away. This is 25% of the distance from the prior estimate, but as I said, it's within error. This closer distance makes Betelgeuse a bit smaller; it appears to be 750 times the radius of the Sun. Nevertheless, it still probably started with 20+ solar masses of material, and it will still explode in about 100,000 years. At this point, they believe, it is still burning helium in its core and is nowhere near going boom.   It's always cool when completely different techniques can narrow in on more precise values.

With the United Nations encouraging wider use of the Equal Earth map, a projection designed to better represent the true size of Earth's landmasses, the Unexpected Elements team have been thinking about distortion and the surprising new ways we can see the world and beyond. We discover that every city's subway system has its own unique microbial fingerprint, so distinctive that researchers can identify a location from a simple swab. Then we meet the black-capped chickadee, a tiny bird whose remarkable memory-map helps it keep track of thousands of hidden food stores.Astrophysicist Miguel Zumalacárregui joins us to explain gravitational lensing, the phenomenon that bends and distorts light as it travels through the Universe. We hear how these cosmic distortions help astronomers study distant galaxies, dark matter and even black holes.We also learn why Europe's mountain summits are becoming greener while still losing rare plants, ask why many continents seem to point downwards, and explore the story behind the online maps in our pockets.All that, plus many more Unexpected Elements.Presenter: Marnie Chesterton, with Andrada Fiscutean and Paul Adepoju Producers: Alice Lipscombe Southwell, with Ella Hubber and Debbie Kilbride

What if some of the children struggling to fit into today's world aren't meant to fit into the old system at all? Bestselling author and Aramis Creative Learning Center founder Sherri Divband returns to Michael Jaco with one of her most fascinating conversations yet—exploring what she calls “Pod Children,” starseeds, ET connections, advanced souls and a new generation of highly sensitive children she believes are arriving with an extraordinary purpose. Sherri describes “Pod Children” as something different from traditional incarnation. In her spiritual framework, she believes some beings remain elsewhere while connecting their consciousness remotely to a human body on Earth—almost like operating an avatar. And Sherri says she's encountering more of these children than ever before. She shares why she believes some can appear disconnected or struggle with communication and ordinary routines while simultaneously possessing remarkable intelligence and abilities—and why she sees them eventually becoming innovators and “architects of the new world.” Michael and Sherri take the conversation even further into ET civilizations, consciousness, alternate dimensions, timelines, starseeds, energetic interference and humanity's transition into a new era. But Sherri isn't only talking about a different future for children. She's building one. After six years of work, Sherri announces that the first prototype Aramis Creative Learning Center is preparing to open in Palm Beach County—an alternative educational environment created to give children room to learn, create, develop their passions and thrive without being forced into a one-size-fits-all model. Sherri's vision is ultimately to establish centers across the country and eventually internationally. Whether you've followed the conversation around starseed children and consciousness, you're a parent searching for a different approach to education, or you've never heard the term “Pod Children” before, this is a conversation that will challenge you to look at the next generation from an entirely different perspective.

The Energy of Places, Portals & the Stories Our Spaces Hold What if your home has a story? What if the land you live on, the buildings you spend your time in, and even the objects inside them carry energetic imprints from what has happened there before? That's the world Heather Colterman explores through Earthly Owl, her home and land healing business. Heather is an earth energy worker and intuitive empath who works with the unseen energetic layers of homes, land and other spaces. Through remote property readings, she connects with what she describes as the “spirit of place” and explores things like earth energies, energetic imprints from past events, geopathic stress, earthbound spirits and other influences that may be affecting a space. She then provides insights and healing strategies to help restore a greater sense of harmony. Her own journey into this work began after moving with her husband to a rural homestead in the B.C. mountains. After experiencing unsettling energy within their home and surrounding property, Heather sought out energetic healing for the space. That experience became a major turning point and eventually led her into her own path of psychic development and home and land healing. And let me tell you... this conversation goes some fascinating places. Heather and I talk about what it's like to have a presence online as a spiritual entrepreneur and the sometimes strange experience of putting this kind of work out into the world. And then things get wonderfully weird.

As the Earth orbits the Sun at 18.5 mi/s it sweeps up about 100 tons of micrometeorites and space dust every day of which some 14 tons eventually makes it to the ground. You can even find some of these particles of space dust by using a magnet on material in the rain gutters attached to your roof.

They Built the Quietest Place on Earth to Find Dark Matter One event in 220 days. That is what the search for dark matter looks like right now. In this episode I talk with Rick Gaitskell, professor of physics at Brown University and a leader on the LZ dark matter experiment, about what it takes to build a detector that can see almost nothing at all: seven tonnes of liquid xenon, a mile of rock in an old gold mine, and shielding so careful that the radon seeping out of ordinary concrete counts as a serious enemy. We get into why the field spent decades hunting the WIMP, what happens to a 3.4 sigma result when you look at it honestly, and why a single event, however beautiful, cannot tell you what you want it to tell you. We also talk about the human side of a project like this. The grad student who waited nine years for data. The physicist who walked away from investment banking. The uncomfortable fact that something like ninety-five percent of research does not work out, and what keeps people going anyway. And the line that sits under all of it: we only get one damn universe, and nature does not care whether your theory is beautiful.

It's been said that “Much of what we call worship today is really not worship at all, but a glorification of self, with “I” as the dominant subject. It's alleged worship that's taken on the characteristics of our age.” Join Dr. James Boice as he explores Psalm 147 and what it means to truly praise the Lord for who He is and for what He has done.

Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson also field listener questions on orbital mechanics, neutrinos, alien communication, and time dilation.The discussion is broad, but the main thread is clear: how real-world physics shapes everything from Venus's history to the future of spaceflight and even the look of space-age uniforms.Key topicsVenus is Earth-like in size, mass, and gravity, but unlike Earth it has no moon, and the episode explores whether it may once have had one.Fred explains a modeling study led by Stephen Kane suggesting a Venus moon could have spiraled inward, crossed the Roche limit, and been torn apart by tidal forces.The team discusses what evidence might remain if Venus once consumed a moon, including possible chemical fingerprints in the atmosphere or surface.Satellite pollution is examined through the lens of reentering spacecraft, especially the growing number of Starlink reentries and their impact on the upper atmosphere.The European Space Agency's jet-based chase of two reentering Cluster spacecraft, Tango and Samba, is described as an effort to measure reentry byproducts directly.The conversation raises concerns about aluminium oxides, atmospheric chemistry, and whether repeated reentries could have broader consequences such as ozone depletion.The final main story looks at proposed United States Space Force uniforms and why the design drew immediate comparisons to World War II-era fascist aesthetics and Starship Troopers.Andrew and Fred note how uniform design can shape perception, and why the new concept feels divisive rather than inspiring.Timestamps00:00 - Intro and setup for the episode00:41 - Venus, satellite pollution, and Space Force uniforms preview04:40 - Venus as Earth's twin and why it has no moon08:21 - Modeling a missing Venusian moon09:20 - Gravitational tug-of-war and moon migration toward Venus11:44 - Conditions for a moon to survive around Venus12:43 - Possible traces of an ancient moon impact16:06 - Satellite pollution from reentering spacecraft17:16 - Starlink reentries and atmospheric contamination18:14 - ESA's jet chase of reentering Cluster spacecraft20:06 - Observing Tango and Samba during controlled reentry21:45 - Why the atmospheric consequences could become controversial23:12 - Wood as a potentially more benign spacecraft material24:16 - Space Force uniforms and the first visual reaction25:34 - Starship Troopers and deliberate fascist design cues27:29 - Why the proposed uniforms feel unsettlingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support.

There are roughly 7,000 known minerals on Earth. You need to know about ten of them. In the third installment of the Camp Geo Intro to Minerals series, Chris and Jesse finish the minerals chapter by working through the rock-forming minerals — the short list that makes up the overwhelming majority of the rocks in Earth's crust — and by explaining where minerals actually come from in the first place.Before the top-ten list, they step outside the silicates. Just as the silica tetrahedron defines the silicate family, other mineral groups are defined by their own dominant anion: the carbonates (CO₃²⁻, home to calcite, arguably the second most important mineral group on the planet), the sulfates (gypsum, which Jesse grew up seeing mined in Michigan), and the phosphates (apatite — the stuff your teeth are made of, and a mineral Jesse's lab dates routinely). Along the way, Jesse clarifies a point from Part 1: an anion can be a single charged atom or a charged molecule like CO₃ or SiO₄.Then, the four environments in which minerals grow — igneous (crystallizing from cooling magma or lava), metamorphic (solid-state recrystallization under heat and pressure), hydrothermal (precipitating from hot circulating water, as at Yellowstone and, far more commonly, at mid-ocean ridges), and sedimentary (salts left behind as cool saline water evaporates, think Bonneville Salt Flats). Chris flags the one that trips students up most: hydrothermal and sedimentary both precipitate minerals from water, but only one of them involves heat. This detour also produces the episode's best story: the day the two of them drove up a sketchy dirt road to the Gore Mountain garnet quarry in upstate New York without permission, watched a black Chrysler 300 come roaring up behind them, and left with about two tons of volleyball-sized garnets in the back of Chris's F-250.Finally, the countdown: feldspar, quartz, the micas, the olivines, the pyroxenes, the amphiboles (hornblende, for intro purposes), the clay minerals, calcite, dolomite, and halite plus gypsum. Seven of the ten are silicates, and Chris and Jesse tie each one back to its tetrahedral structure from Part 2 — framework, sheet, single chain, double chain, single tetrahedron. They cover the tricks for telling calcite from dolomite (a drop of HCl fizzes like Alka-Seltzer on one and like flat pop on the other), why mica rarely survives in sedimentary rocks, why clay minerals are basically what feldspar turns into when it hits a stream, and Chris's field-tested (and decidedly not medically endorsed) use of crushed limestone as heartburn relief.The episode closes with Jesse's quiz question for Chris, which Chris promptly declares "has potential" but needs reworking.Download the CampGeo app now at this link.

Written version below.Venus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — I'm keeping the price as it is. I was going to raise it, and then I listened to my intuition, which said no. Start date is October 1st, and Venus stations retrograde on October 3rd — there was a timezone error on my sales page that said the 2nd; the 3rd is correct.I've already started uploading new content to the portal — video guides, aspect breakdowns for the lead-in to the retrograde. And I want to say something I've been sitting with: I called this possibly my last run, and I don't know that's true. It's my favourite thing I do. Things are changing in my life and work, and I don't know exactly what form future iterations will take. But this one — this one — is ready, and I'm genuinely excited about it.Two tiers: the basic Journey at $397 (seven weeks, eight calls, all recorded, full course portal, pre-work videos, slides in colour and black-and-white), and the Dragon Rider add-on (an extra $500) which includes a private 30-minute one-on-one ($175 value), a year's membership in the Spiral Codex community ($600 value, beginning after the class), and a personalized gift I'll mail to you.louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026Before We Dive InComing up: Cathy and I are recording on Friday, likely looking at the Aries Full Moon chart alongside the US Sibley chart — the DC chart for the full moon has exactly the same angles as the Sibley. We'll see what that means.Subscribe free on Substack for weekly posts and everything else. Spiral Weave on my website louiseedington.com — $10/month or $90/year.The Week at a GlanceThis is a week of building intensity, heading toward the Aries Full Moon on Saturday September 26th at 12:49pm Eastern. I've done a full separate video on that — go watch it for the depth. The week is the lead-in.The cards open at the end of your tether and build to fire. The astrology opens with a grinding cardinal T-square and builds to a kite configuration pointing at justice and transformation. By Saturday, the pieces come together.Key events:* Equinox — Sun enters 0° Libra — September 22nd* Pholus stations direct at 9° Capricorn — Friday September 25th* Aries Full Moon at 3° — Saturday September 26th at 12:49pm EasternOne note to carry all week: only Venus, the Sun, and Mercury have crossed the South Node and Regulus at 0° Virgo. The rest are still coming. Mars, Jupiter, Juno, Hygieia — all heading there eventually. For now, the direction is set, but the journey is ongoing.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot (Linda Hill, Etsy UK) and the Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins: Seven of Torches reversed, King of Torches, Ace of Torches reversed, She of the Invisible Ally.Three fire cards and one water card — and all of them, in their different ways, saying the same thing: the answer is within. The fire is within. The magic is within. The allies you've forgotten about are within.More at the end. But hold that thread.Day by DaySunday, September 20 — Moon in Capricorn. Cardinal T-Square. The Goddess Archetypes Are Screaming.We open the week with the Moon out of bounds in Capricorn — and Pluto also out of bounds, as it will be until early December each year through 2035. More erratic, more beyond the pale, more heightened. The usual advice: more self-care than you think you need, more boundaries, more kindness to yourself.The Moon squares Saturn retrograde (the guide for Capricorn, going back over the structures and rules) and opposes Ceres in Cancer — forming a cardinal T-square at 12°–13°. Cardinals push for action. This T-square is asking, again, loudly: how are our needs being met? How are the people's needs being met? How are the needs of the most vulnerable people being met?The outer expression of this energy keeps showing up in the news. Congress being sent home until November 9th — after the midterms, before Venus and Mercury station direct — while essential legislation is pending. A building in Gaza that had been bombed collapsed further, killing twenty people and trapping nearly a hundred. These are the literal expressions of the Moon opposing Ceres: needs not being met, structures not holding, the people saying enough.Mars in Cancer squares Vesta and Eris — both in Aries, both retrograde. Mars and Eris are siblings in the mythology, and this square is in some ways the two of them working together despite the friction. Mars (assertive drive, protective instincts, cooling its jets in Cancer) squares Eris (the truth-teller for the outsiders, sharply aware of exclusion and hierarchy). Together: there's a push to assert and claim space. And there's a deep fear of being controlled or sidelined. But the square is a cardinal square — initiating. Things have to change, and Mars is moving forward toward them.Mars then opposes Juno — now direct and heading back into Aquarius. The sacred contracts of our collective life are being confronted: none of this is working. We're seeing it everywhere.The Moon opposes Asteroid Lilith — and every goddess archetype in the chart this week seems to be screaming: we need to be heard. The Divine Feminine — not just women, but that whole energy of care, reciprocity, interconnection — needs to be heard.Black Moon Lilith at 25° Sagittarius makes a fire trine to the whole Aries retrograde cluster and to Hygieia and the South Node. The answer is to burn off the old, rise up, create the new. Tune into the spirit of fire — which I experience as the fire of inspiration. That whooshing feeling when something unlocks.The Moon closes the day by trining the Sun (last major Ptolemaic aspect before the full moon, Earth-to-Earth saying we are going to build a more meaningful world) while simultaneously squaring Chiron back in Aries. There is still work to finish. Every one of us is playing a part in building what comes next — in tight community, in broader collectives, in the most private inner work. All of it matters.Jupiter in Leo trines Pallas Athena — the expander meeting the wise strategist and pattern-seer. Strategies to rise up like phoenixes. To lead from the heart rather than from the throne.Monday, September 21 — Moon Into Aquarius. Mercury Opposes Pallas Athena. Hygieia and Hekate.The Moon finishes its Capricorn passage still carrying all those T-square themes, then enters Aquarius at 1:14pm Eastern — the sign of the people, the future, the collective. Things shift slightly: from the weight of structures collapsing to the vision of what we want to build instead.Mercury in Libra opposes Pallas Athena in Aries — big new ideas for justice. New strategies being assembled. In what feels like a surreal indicator of the astrology: Steve Bannon and Bernie Sanders were reported on the same stage (not at the same time) making the same argument: the future of AI must be decided by the people, not the oligarchs. I had to read that twice. Mercury opposing Pallas Athena in the sign of justice, pulling pieces together from unexpected places, finding new strategies to challenge concentrated power.AI is part of this week's conversation. The founders are fighting amongst themselves. Companies are finding that replacing workers with AI is not delivering what was promised. The data centre heat problem remains unsolved. And amid all of it, the argument about who gets to decide the future of this technology — whether it's the few or the many — is getting louder. Hekate has her torch. The way forward is being shown.Hygieia opposes Hekate in this same cluster — holistic, preventative health in all its forms (not just physical; the health of our collective mind and leadership) facing the torchbearer at the crossroads. Which way do we go? Hekate knows. The answers are within.Mercury forms a sextile to Jupiter in Leo — big new ideas, big new plans, a real expansiveness in how we speak and think about what's possible.Tuesday, September 22 — Equinox. Sun Enters 0° Libra. The People Are Rising.The Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring in the Southern — the Sun enters 0° Libra, a world point, beginning a new season and seeding new things.I took a quick look at the equinox chart set for Washington DC, and a few things caught my eye. Venus retrograde is in the 7th house of others and open enemies. The Aries retrograde cluster is in the 12th house of hidden enemies. Uranus is in the 2nd house of values, waking people up to what isn't feeding them. Ceres sits at the base of the chart — the IC, the foundation — and she is saying: this system is not working for the people's needs. Jupiter is moving into the 5th house of joy, creativity, self-expression, and the inner child — people beginning to find that.And the Aquarius Moon is on the cusp of the 11th house — the house of causes, politics, humanitarian concerns, and the collective voice. The Moon is the people. And the people are rising.Happy equinox.The Aquarius Moon meanwhile squares Haumea (regeneration at 2° Scorpio, the exact degree where Venus and the Moon met in their occultation gate), then sextiles Neptune (let go of who you thought you were; step into interconnection), then trines Uranus — ahas, pattern-shifts, those head-explodey moments of seeing things differently. We're going to have quite a few of those this week as we build toward the full moon.The Moon squares Venus in Scorpio — digging into the shared values and power relationships that Venus is about to take us through in her retrograde. Who has power over us? Who have we given our power away to? These are not rhetorical questions this week.Hygieia trines Vesta and Eris — the holistic health of the collective in flowing conversation with the inner flame and the truth-teller. The answers are within. Tune in.The Moon closes the day by conjuncting Pluto — the shadow to the light, the buried treasure beginning to emerge. Pluto and Haumea are heading toward another of their 13 squares (which run 2022–2028), and the Moon is activating that approach. Three more squares after this one. The transformation is not done.Wednesday, September 23 — Moon Opposes Jupiter. Moon Meets Hekate and Chariklo. Moon Into Pisces.The Aquarius Moon opposes Jupiter in Leo — the people looking directly at the expanded king energy and saying: your time is limited. Jupiter is heading toward the South Node in Leo. Leaders, in the astrology world and in the wider world, are being taken down or called to account. Not necessarily the ones we want yet — but the motion is real.The Moon trines Mercury (air to air: the collective mind, speaking out, ideas flowing) and then makes what I find genuinely beautiful: the Moon meets Hekate and Chariklo, both retrograde in Aquarius, both quietly holding space and weaving the new story from the pieces that are simultaneously falling apart and falling into place.The Moon opposes Hygieia — everything heading down the South Node drain that is not for our genuine holistic flourishing, individually and collectively. Circling the drain of what's not working. And the Moon conjuncts the North Node at 29° — still that eclipse charge, still that pull toward the future. Still at the threshold.Change is coming. 29°. The anaretic degree of the liminal space.And at the very end of the day, the Moon enters Pisces — things get very emotional as we build toward the full moon. But also: clouds clearing. The feeling quality of the coming days is going to be intense and also somehow clarifying.Thursday, September 24 — Quiet Build. Lightning Hitting Water.Not a huge number of aspects — a day to let things settle and integrate as the energy builds.The Pisces Moon squares Sedna (adapt; change is coming; mutable signs pressing) then trines Haumea (ready to create from our feelings and our right brain; intuition and balance coming together) and then squares Uranus — and Louise described this perfectly: lightning hitting water. Uranus in Gemini, all those electrical awakenings and flashing ideas, square the Pisces Moon's deep emotionality and flow. Shocking. Potentially beautiful. Possibly a few jarring revelations.The Moon then trines Venus — seeing clearly about values, self-worth, how power has been given away. This is Venus retrograde territory, and we're already starting to feel it from the outside in.Asteroid Lilith squares Vesta — the original equality and the inner flame in friction, both asking the same question from different angles: what are you devoted to at the deepest level of who you are? With Chiron back in Aries, this is about healing the core self — finding the medicine of genuine individuality (not rugged power-over, but power from within) and healing the inner masculine while we're at it.Mercury trines Hekate and Chariklo — the messenger in flowing conversation with the torchbearer and the cosmic doula. The mind is starting to catch up with what the soul already knows.Friday, September 25 — Venus Day. Pholus Stations Direct. The Kite Forms. Sun Enters Libra Season Fully.Pholus stations direct at 9° Capricorn. Nine — the number of endings. Pholus is the Pandora's Box centaur — the lid-comes-off energy, the things that get out that can't be put back in. He has been retrograde in Capricorn for a long time, going back over what has been out of integrity in our institutions and structures. And now he stations direct.More things are going to come out of the box. More revelations about the structures we've been living under. More things that, once seen, cannot be unseen. This station coincides directly with the full moon approaching and the Sun making exact aspects to the basket/cradle planets.The Sun trines Pluto and Uranus, and opposes Neptune exactly — forming a kite in fire and air, with the Aries retrograde cluster as the focal point and Neptune (dissolving the old, birthing the spiritual warrior) as the tail. Big ideas for justice. New people rising up. New alliances forming in unexpected places.The Sun at 3°–4° Libra is now past the equinox and building power in the sign of balance, harmony, and — often forgotten — justice. Libra is also traditionally associated with war (as the scales of battle), and the resistance to injustice is very much Libran at its highest.New lawsuits. New strategies. New coalitions. Some of them surprising.Mercury in Libra opposes Vesta and Eris — speaking up for the inner flame, speaking up for the outsiders. Mercury past 22° Libra means it's now in the territory where Venus will station direct on November 13th. The mercury mind is already walking the ground Venus will return to.Saturday, September 26 — The Aries Full Moon. 12:49pm Eastern.Go and watch the full moon video. It's all there.What I'll say here: the Moon in Pisces makes a water trine to Mars in Cancer (finally cooling its jets, the guardian energy settling into water) before entering Aries at 6:23am Eastern — and look at what it steps into. The whole retrograde Aries pileup. Chiron, Eris, Vesta, Pallas Athena, Saturn, Manwë, Neptune. The Moon as the focal point of this kite, as the people meeting all those planets going within, reviewing, reflecting.The Moon meets Neptune (spiritual warrior; releasing who we thought we were), sextiles Sedna (adapt), sextiles Pluto (transformation), sextiles Uranus (radical awakening) — the mini grand trine activated right at the full moon.Full Moon exact at 12:49pm Eastern at 3° Aries. Fulfillment. Illumination. Something completing.Right after the full moon, the Moon conjuncts Manwë — the Law of Grace. Spontaneous resolution through internal alignment and correct action. Without external intervention. This is what the class does: guide you to take that self-directed, inner journey.Then the Moon squares Pholus — facing what we see as the lid comes off, some people extending more grace to each other than before.And one date to hold: Venus and Mercury station direct on November 13th. Congress is due back on November 9th — four days before. Mars crosses the South Node the day after that, on November 14th, alongside Jupiter. Watch this space.The Cards in DetailSeven of Torches (Wands), reversed — Lacking Courage:You may start the week feeling this. A lack of faith in yourself. Like it's all too much. Like quitting would be easier. The upright Seven of Torches is I Am Courage — and the reversal doesn't remove the courage. It asks you to look within for it rather than expecting it to come from outside. The fire is in there. It always was.King of Torches — I Am Dynamic:The more you go within — even if you begin the week feeling defeated — the more this dynamism starts to build as the full moon approaches. Things are being ignited. The King of Torches doesn't wait for permission. He knows he carries his fire within him. The full moon is the ignition point.Ace of Torches, reversed — I Am Inspired (from within):The Ace reversed is still the Ace — pure creative fire, the beginning of something. Reversed, the invitation is to find the inspiration within, not to look for the external spark. This is where the three fire cards are pointing together: defeat, then dynamism, then inspiration — all sourced from the interior. This is the Red Seeds Tarot, the deck of the Eleusinian Mysteries and the descent and return. Perfectly placed for the week Venus is about to take us underground.She of the Invisible Ally (Witch Oracle):“There are unseen forces guiding you right now. They rarely let themselves be seen, but that doesn't mean they're not there. While it's true that you often name and number your resources, you forget about the unseen ones. The invisibles are available to you always, but they tend to dwell in the higher places — energies of wonder, curiosity, and hope.Petition them. A witch will reach into these energies and swim with them through the cosmos. This is a good time for dreaming and journeying. Take a walk in nature. Seek out a credible plant shaman who can help you access the gifts of the green world. Spend time in the liminal realm with active imagination. Put yourself in the way of magic. Helpful spirits are ready to guide you, and now is the time to summon them to show themselves.”We do exactly this in the Venus Retrograde class — the active imagination, the guided journeys, the liminal realm work. Not coincidentally.And: find your inner dragon.The planets don't make anything happen. Everything is happening within you. Stuff happens, challenges happen — but how you respond to them, and how you work with them, is what matters.You are the cosmos. The invisible ally is you.Summing UpA cardinal T-square pressing on the structures that aren't working. Mars and Eris, siblings, asserting and claiming space. The equinox — a new season, a world point, a chart that says the people are rising. Pholus stationing direct with more things coming out of the box. The fire and air kite forming as the Aries Full Moon approaches. Manwë, the Law of Grace, right after the full moon. And four cards — three of them fire — that move from defeat, through dynamism, to inner inspiration, held by the unseen allies that have never left.Start the week however you need to start it. Look within. Find the fire.It was always there.— LouiseVenus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — starts October 1st, Venus retrogrades October 3rd. $397 basic Journey; Dragon Rider add-on $500 extra. louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026Cathy and I are recording on Friday — check the channel.

Chapter Three: Rise of the Xenobots. Can life be persuaded to take novel forms and behaviors that stabilize the Earth system? The only way to find out is to find out. Let's look to the strange frontiers of experimental biology for a framework of inquiry. Two kinds of so-called biobots have been constructed, one from embryonic frog cells and one from human lung cells. These cellular collectives become autonomously mobile, begin differentiating, and take on novel problems to solve. We can't know what problems they will solve without exposing these new biological entities to new settings and developmental influences. Work in bioelectricity is showing how cellular collectives make decisions about things like anatomy through the same signaling logic as in brains and nervous systems, just on slower timescales—leading researchers to speak of scale-free cognition. So we can also say we don't know what kinds of cognition biobots, or any other biological entity, will exhibit until we experiment. Bioelectric perturbation is creating new body plans in multi-cellular organisms. This is one example of how experimentation with new forms of life does not require or necessarily imply genetic engineering. If you like strange news from the far reaches of science, this episode is for you. 

Beyond Ayahuasca: The Ancient Tree Medicine and Tobacco Tradition That Predates Modern Plant Healing with Jordan Mockingbird. Sacred Tobacco, Master Trees and the Forgotten Path of Human Awakening. The Old Way Is Returning: Ancient Tree Medicine for Modern Healing. Ancient Tree Medicine, Sacred Tobacco & The Old Way with Jordan Mockingbird What if trees could help us remember something humanity has forgotten? In this fascinating episode of Cosmic Scene with Jill Jardine, I'm joined by Jordan Mockingbird, a teacher of the Medicine Path and devoted practitioner of the shamanic healing arts, for a profound exploration of master tree diets, sacred tobacco, ancestral wisdom, plant medicine, embodiment, and the ancient relationship between humans and the natural world. Jordan's spiritual journey began with a decade of Gnostic studies in Asia. After experiencing severe illness, he left his career as a producer and committed himself to a path of personal transformation through shamanic plant study, trees, breathwork, fasting, and traditional medicine practices. His work with Amazonian plant dieting traditions radically transformed his life, vision, health, and sense of purpose. Jordan studied under Cocama elder William Llerena Murayari and spent seven years in mentorship with Apache elder Iron Eagle Joe, through whom he received the name Mockingbird and the blessing to teach through ceremony. One of the central subjects of our conversation is the ancient practice of master tree dieting.Jordan explains how these traditional practices involve periods of fasting, solitude, dietary restriction, silence, breathwork, and communion with a particular "teacher tree." Participants work with the bark tea of the tree while entering a deeply focused and embodied state. Rather than approaching plant medicine solely through psychedelic experiences, Jordan describes the master tree diet as a slow, grounded, somatic process in which dreams, body wisdom, emotional awareness, and subtle perception can become important avenues of learning. The practice is described as both medicine for the body, mind and spirit and a kind of "nature's mystery school. #free #podcast #astrology Subscribe to YouTube channel:  @jilljardine2186 to hear more astrological updates! https://bleav.com/shows/cosmic-scene-with-jill-jardine/ for audio versions. Across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and major podcast outlets such as Apple and Spotify, the buzz is on August 2026 eclipses and astrology. The episode explores the relationship between master tree diets and ayahuasca traditions in the Amazon. Jordan shares his perspective that tree dieting traditions represent an older layer of Amazonian plant medicine practice and describes how he encountered these traditions while working with ayahuasca and master trees in the Amazon. We discuss the difference between seeking a powerful altered-state experience and undertaking a longer process of embodiment, integration, discipline, and transformation. Another major theme is sacred tobacco medicine.Jordan explains the traditional understanding of tobacco as a bridge, emissary, or voice to the Creator, and discusses how tobacco is used within his work through intention, prayer, song, ceremony, and dietary practice. We explore tobacco not from the perspective of commercial tobacco use, but through Jordan's description of its ceremonial and traditional role within the Medicine Path. He describes tobacco as a teacher and ally and discusses how it can be incorporated into work with the trees and the different layers of embodied experience. At the heart of Jordan's philosophy is what he calls "The Old Way"—a remembrance of ancestral power and our innate spirituality as human beings. We talk about what it means to reconnect with nature, ancestral knowledge, the body, Earth consciousness, and traditional healing practices in a modern Western world. Jordan describes the Medicine Path as a process of shedding false identities, slowing down, becoming more regulated and embodied, and reconnecting with a deeper sense of soul purpose and personal transformation. Jordan emphasizes somatic knowing, body awareness, breath, fasting, dreams, emotionality, and physical experience as pathways into deeper awareness. We discuss how spiritual awakening can be grounded in the body rather than existing solely as an altered state of consciousness. Working With Trees in the Northern Hemisphere Jordan's work has expanded beyond the Amazon. He now works extensively with Northern Hemisphere trees, including oak and birch, and facilitates master tree diet experiences in different parts of the world. We discuss his upcoming Ojai Master Tree Diet, as well as his international work in England, Ireland, Australia, and other locations. His upcoming programs include: Integrated Tobacco Diet September 26–October 26, 2026 Sacred Tree Keepers Community 2027 Integrated Tobacco Diet February 19–May 21, 2027 Ojai Master Tree Diets May 27–June 4, 2027 This episode explores: What exactly is a Master Tree Diet? The ancient tradition of plant dieting Shamanic healing and the Medicine Path Amazonian plant medicine traditions The relationship between master tree diets and ayahuasca Sacred and ceremonial tobacco Tobacco as a spiritual bridge to the Creator Ancestral healing and ancestral wisdom Somatic awareness and embodied spirituality Dreams as a pathway of plant intelligence Breathwork, fasting and solitude Nature as a teacher and "mystery school" The concept of The Old Way Spiritual awakening through embodiment Shedding outdated identities and reconnecting with soul purpose Indigenous and ancestral approaches to healing Working with oak, birch and other teacher trees Bringing traditional practices into the modern Western world The importance of discipline, discomfort and integration on a spiritual path Sacred ceremony and the relationship between humans and the natural world Jordan Mockingbird is an artist, teacher, medicine practitioner and devoted student of the Medicine Path. His work centers on shamanic healing, plant medicine, master tree diets, sacred tobacco, breathwork, fasting, ancestral wisdom, embodiment and spiritual transformation. His passion is helping human beings "wake up The Old Way"—remembering our ancestral relationship with nature, the body and the deeper spiritual dimensions of human existence. Jordan describes himself as an eternal novice, continually learning, exploring and walking the path.

You might associate it with the foil that wraps leftover pizza and the shiny craft beer cans sold in breweries, but aluminum is literally everywhere. Scoop up a handful of soil or gravel anywhere on Earth and you'll find atoms of bonded aluminum hidden inside. But even before it was used in everything from airplanes to deodorant, the trade of aluminum minerals helped color the world, finance the Vatican, and led to the mass collection of human urine. In this installment of “The Element of Surprise” — a series all about the hidden histories behind the periodic table's most unassuming atoms, isotopes, and molecules — we're talking about aluminum. This episode was first published in 2024. Featuring Saleem Ali. Produced by Taylor Quimby.

The phrase “New Earth” is used often in spiritual communities, but what does it actually mean? In this episode of A Psychic's Story, Nichole explores that question with psychic channel and healer Angie Arkin. Angie has communicated with other beings since childhood and now channels a group of 14 beings from multiple star systems who call themselves the Galactic Council. Together, they look at the New Earth through Angie's experiences with channeling and her understanding of consciousness, multidimensional reality, and humanity's evolution. Angie also channels the Galactic Council live with a message about the heart, our relationship with the Earth, and the shift toward unity consciousness. In this episode, you'll hear: How Angie's childhood connection with other beings eventually led her to channel the Galactic Council. The difference between receiving psychic information and allowing her guides to speak directly through her. Why intention and an awareness of your own energy are important when connecting with other beings. What Angie believes is changing as humanity moves through a dimensional shift. How conscious choices, personal beliefs, and the timelines within the quantum field may shape our experience of reality. A live message from the Galactic Council about the heart and our connection with the Earth. To learn more about Angie and her work, visit angiearkin.com or follow her on Instagram at @angie.arkin. You can also explore her Power to the Peaceful membership, which includes monthly channelings, guided meditations, energetic support, and opportunities to submit questions to the Galactic Council.

This episode begins with the increasing fears that the rapid development of AI might lead to the extinction of humanity. As the dangers posed by AI agents coincide with end-time fears, Michael Meade turns to an old myth that shows that humans have always been a great risk taken by the forces of creation. As creatures capable of conscious awareness, humans can become the enemy as well as the friends of creation.     In the old creation myth, mistakes made at the beginning caused human prototypes to be short-sighted and blindly self-interested and that led to the fashioning tools and technologies that caused trouble at all levels of existence. Eventually, the animals rebelled against these narrow-minded figures, everything in creation began to speak out against them and they were destroyed in a great flood.     The next kind of humans created had a greater capacity for imagination and genuine vision because their hearts as well as their minds remained open. They had enough insight to recognize the gift of life and be conscious witnesses to the wonder and the beauty of creation. They thrived because they understood the interconnectedness of all of life and accepted the necessity of change.     Like the vestigial tale that reminds people that they are connected to animals at one end, the capacity for great imagination connects people at the other end to the divine. When people can hold those extremes together, they become genuine agents of creation, companions to the animals, and vehicles of the kind of consciousness that can help sustain nature and enhance life on Earth.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth. You can preorder Michael's new book The Heart of Transformation and join him beginning on October 1 for a series of online and in-person events that bring to life key themes from this book.   Pre-order New Book Event Registration + Info     You can further support this podcast by becoming a member of Living Myth Premium.

From terpenes to THC, the biochemistry of the cannabis plant is endlessly fascinating. So get yourself rolled up and ready to delve into "the weeds" with someone who's seen and smoked as much cannabis as anyone on Earth. As co-founder of SC Labs—one of the first cannabis analytical laboratories—Alec Dixon helped pioneer the use of scientific assessment to increase our understanding of cannabis, while providing the public with third-party verification that their stash is free of potentially dangerous contaminants. From how cannabis labs helped identify the first high CBD strains, to the shift in focus from potency to terp profile as the standard of quality, it's an episode for full-on weed nerds and newbies alike to learn more about our favorite plant.

Sarah and Chrissie (@ChrissieWhitley) dig into their very different relationships with big books, from what counts as "big" and knowing when the moment is right to what makes a long book worth the extra pages. They also share some of their favorite big books — and a few they wish had been shorter. This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights Where Sarah and Chrissie each draw the line between a regular book and a big book. Is a 700-page book intimidating … or an invitation to settle in? When, and why, are they most likely to pick up a long book? Does format or genre change how big a book feels? What makes a book actually deserve its high page count?
