Have you ever had one of those months where you just can't climb out of a dark hole? That was my October and November.My son had a health scare (instant compassion for every parent walking that road), I wasn't sleeping—wide awake at 3 a.m. every night (thank God for a dear friend who meets me at Starbucks at 5 a.m.)—and I felt completely unmotivated and uninspired by my work. Not fun.I'm sharing this because maybe you've been there too. And here's the gift hidden inside those seasons: wisdom.What did I learn? Compassion for myself. Humility that I will never “have it all together.” Trust that this, too, shall pass. And it did pass. The light returned—beginning with the conversation you're about to hear with Dr. John Price. It was medicine for my soul, and I know it will be for yours too.Meet Dr. John W. PriceDr. John W.

John offers not quick fixes or toxic positivity, but grounded wisdom:You're not broken—you're breaking open.Press play and remember—the light isn't just coming; it's already within you, waiting to be rediscovered.

It's a banner day here on the pod, Slushies. We welcome a very special guest, American Poetry Review's Elizabeth Scanlon to the table as we discuss three prose poems from Sara Burant. Dagne sends out birthday wishes to Canada's own Margaret Atwood while Lisa shows the team her Margaret Atwood-as-saint candle. We note the recent poetry trend towards raising the profile of female visual artists whose work has been overlooked during their lifetimes. Artists like Sonia Delaunay, mentioned in Burant's poem “Fields,” and Hilma af Kilmt, whose art inspired Didi Jackson's recent book “My Infinity.”  The mention of a clay pipe in one poem sends Marion running for a treasure her husband found while mudlarking. Kathy cops to her blue-collar resistance to a precious ars poetica and we discuss what it takes to win her over in the end. Elizabeth relates how John Ashbery likens waiting for a poem to a cat's finicky arrival. We note Frank O'Hara's notion of “deep gossip,” name checking his own friends along with celebrities in his poems, a gesture Burant employs in her poem “Heat wave.” And we come full circle with a shout out to American Poetry Review's own podcast where Elizabeth interviewed Margaret Atwood during the pandemic. As always, thanks for listening! At the table: Dagne Forrest, Samantha Neugebauer, Elizabeth Scanlon, Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Lisa Zerkle, and Lillie Volpe (sound engineer) Bio: Sara Burant's poems, reviews, and collaborative translations of Paul Éluard's poems have appeared in journals such as OmniVerse, Pedestal, periodicities, Ruminate, and The Denver Quarterly. Her work has been honored with a fellowship from Oregon Literary Arts and a residency at Playa. At 55, she received an MFA in Poetry from Saint Mary's College of California. She's the author of a chapbook, Verge. Fields after Frank O'Hara And the truck driver I was made in the image of has a tattoo reminiscent of a Sonia Delaunay on her chest. And on her upper left arm, a nude torso of Apollo reminiscent not only of Rilke but of the male figure who loved her passionately in a dream—my god, he knew how to kiss and be kissed and knew her better than she'll ever know herself. Nobody sees these tattoos except her, looking in the mirror in a cheap motel's bathroom. At home she has no mirrors, just the phone she occasionally snaps a selfie with to make sure she has no spinach or gristle lodged between her teeth before heading to the bar. Actually, the truck driver I was made in the image of is undercover. She's really a Jungian analyst. Those cows in another dream, her heaviest self, chewing the cud of the past, farting, trampling the delicate vegetation, forming a tight circle around the calves when threatened, bellowing when all else fails. Hauling 30 tons in her 35-ton rig, she speeds past field after field which are all the same field. Oh field of dreams, why hasn't she built you? Instead she deletes photos to make room for more photos, wondering why this sunset, that face, this puddle's reflection, that abstract painting. She fished and caught and couldn't filet the tender meat that smelled too much like drowning. One rainy winter in Paris she nearly did drown. Creeping water-logged from museum to museum, finally she clung to Cézanne's misshapen fruit as if to a buoy. The apples and pears, just one man's apprehension of apples and pears, not thoughts inside thought-balloons, not some parable of ancient September. Just tilting tabletops, shapes, colors, the suggestion of shadows and light. Ars poetica For the chickens I save tidbits, potato skins, and the outer cabbage leaves which make me think of hats. The red wobble of the hens' combs and the smell of their fecal heat, unaccountably dear to me. Awaiting a match to warm me, I chew on a clay pipe's stem, contemplating the waning moon of its bowl and my pink lipstick past. The silence behind words spoken or thought clucks softly in my inner ear. Sitting inside, I can't help looking out, a lifting, carrying blue, the wind's little pull on the earlobe of my heart. Lately I've been cutting paper into shapes that mean Feed me or Take me to your leader, wishing I'd been taught to name feelings as they arise. Tenderness for the apple still hanging from winter's limb. Loneliness drunk down with morning's darjeeling. There are conspirators for beauty. Like rabbits, they leave tracks in the snow. Like geese, they arrow through hallways of night. Without sentiment or self-pity they gaze at certain slants of light. They chip away the ice with a pick to get at the lock. Then they pick the lock. And oh, what a view. I want to walk in the dark to get there, not following anyone's directions. To enter the fortune teller's crystal ball with bread in my pocket and a botanist's loupe. Though I don't know your name, I move forward only beside you, your imaginary hand in mine.  Heat wave The woman at the table next to mine gives up loud-talking in favor of song, but it's not looking for love, it's looking for FUN—& feeling groovy. Maybe I should warn her—today's theme isn't love or fun, it's submarine & skedaddle, it's danger-danger, hold your breath & sound. This avalanche of heat, these record-shattering days. See the breakage piling up on sidewalks so hot the barefoot babies weep as they learn to toddle. Maybe, as you like to point out, I'm catastrophizing, when what I really want is to feel groovy again. To butter my skin with baby oil & sizzle, walking barefoot along the burning sand, Bradford Beach where I fell in love unrequited for the umpteenth time. Back then, who was counting? Back then summer lasted for years & still wasn't long enough. 1978, despite Mother's reservations, I saved my babysitting money for a ticket to Fleetwood Mac at County Stadium. Eilleen, Maggie, Liz, Jean, Mary, me—& Stevie Nicks & Christine McVie, the elm trees & long summer dusk of those women's voices. A dusk so filled with the orange, violet & chartreuse silk of its immense flag flying above, beside & through you, you neglect to notice shadows splotching the periphery & forget your curfew. I didn't notice much, so stoned I was, we were, melting into the moment's spotlessness, our adolescent hips grooving, our tan arms waving, here, now, this, this, this—I mean there, then, that, that, that—no one yet suspended for drinking, no one yet strung out, dropping out, running off with boys to Oregon or Wyoming, limping home pregnant or in rags. The elms, gone. Mom, Vince, Rob & Christine McVie, too. I've had to swear off many things due to poor digestion—but oblivion, I'd still like to indulge in that sometimes, diving into it like a bee into a flower, a morning glory, its dumb, purple, one day only show. 

Dr. Jennifer Freed joins host Dr. John W. Price on The Sacred Speaks for a wide-ranging and intimate conversation at the crossroads of psychological astrology, Jungian depth psychology, and lived mysticism. Jennifer shares her personal journey—from early childhood visions and psychedelic experiences, through trauma, therapy, and decades of clinical and spiritual work—to her current understanding of astrology as a living, symbolic map rather than a fixed fate. Together, we explore how the birth chart functions as an invitation into “divine possibilities,” revealing our growth edges, shadow material, and evolving expressions across a lifetime. Our dialogue moves through themes of shadow integration, relational devotion, nervous system regulation, and cultural upheaval, including reflections on Pluto in Aquarius and what this moment asks of humanity. Jennifer offers a sobering yet hopeful vision—one that calls for discernment, humility, and deeper participation in the unfolding mystery of being human. Key Takeaways Astrology as Invitation, Not Determinism The birth chart reveals our cosmic DNA—a range of primitive, adaptive, and evolving expressions—inviting conscious participation rather than passive identification. Shadow Integration and the Nervous System Owning projections and shadow material brings regulation and clarity, helping us think more clearly amid ideological rigidity and identity fixation. Romance as Daily Devotion True intimacy is not sustained by chemistry alone, but by ongoing self-care and a quiet, consistent service to the subtle needs of the beloved. Cultural Crossroads Under Pluto in Aquarius, humanity faces a profound threshold—between fragmentation and unity—with discernment, responsibility, and imagination required.

Are you a narcissist? How would you know? Or maybe you are in a relationship with one. We talk to Jungian analyst Dr Susan Schwartz about dreams related to narcissism and about how to be in relationship with those everyday narcissists in our life. Dr Schwartz starts by defining narcissism as outer bravado and inner fragility. She lists some of the typical dreams narcissists have including dreams of being trapped or in a prison. We talk about the myth of Narcissus and Echo and about how we can avoid becoming Echo who loses herself in the relationship. After the break we take a question from Steve about dreams in which we are not ourselves. Max adds that he is sometimes not even human in his dreams. Susan ends by sharing a client’s dream in which the dreamer was married to Putin. BIO: Susan E. Schwartz, Ph.D. trained in Zurich, Switzerland as a Jungian analyst. She has appeared on over a hundred podcasts and presentations and written many articles, chapters and books on Jungian analytical psychology.

Carrigan Ham returns to the podcast to dive deep into the River force of nature—its gifts, challenges, patterns, and shadow work. This is the third episode in our elemental series together, and it's overflowing with insight, earth science metaphors, and soulful encouragement for those who feel deeply, move fluidly, and think in many tributaries at once. Carrigan is a rare gem—a brilliant thinker who weaves together earth science, body-based healing, Jungian psychology, and spiritual insight. Together, we explore the essence of River types and what it means to work with, rather than against, your watery, sensitive, flowing nature in life and business. Inside This Episode, You'll Hear: What it means to carry River Medicine—the gift of weaving many streams of knowledge into a coherent flow. Why Rivers need banks—and how structure is not the enemy of freedom, but the ally of clarity and impact. How shadow work supports River types in embracing healthy containment without stifling their flow. The geological beauty of river deltas and headwaters, and how they mirror the creative process. A powerful practice to identify the spectrum of your personal traits and unlock growth through paradox. The difference between devotion and discipline, and why "consistency" doesn't have to mean rigidity. How to lovingly regulate your nervous system around structure so you can stop resisting the banks that help you bloom. This episode is for anyone who's ever felt too complex, too tender, too overflowing with ideas—and just wants a way to make their creative work move. River power isn't about taming yourself—it's about learning how to channel your natural brilliance without losing yourself in the flood.

We know the definition of a mystical experience: it's ineffable, it's transitive, it's a unitive experience. I'm willing to say that most of us have had these kinds of experiences, and yet because our culture doesn't support that world view, we write them off as what you can call the ‘nothing but'.” –Dr. John PriceAbout Dr. John Price:Dr. John Price is a Jungian psychotherapist, co-founder of The Center for Healing Arts & Sciences, and host of The Sacred Speaks podcast. John's journey from touring musician to single fatherhood reshaped his understanding of human transformation. John's work bridges ancient wisdom with modern psychology—offering tools for shedding the adaptations that once saved us but now imprison us. Learn more about John's offerings on his website.“Jung would call this the inferior function given that I'm so feeling-oriented and intuitive. To actually get into the thinking and sensing function is something that I'm very much trying to counterbalance. That's my inferior function. From his philosophical orientation, it's a way to create wholeness where you counterbalance the one-sidedness of our psyche.” –Dr. John PriceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I speak with Sean McGrath about his new book The Lost Road - A Search for the Soul of the West, a spiritual autobiography and a philosophical meditation on the soul of the West. Moving between personal narrative and cultural diagnosis, McGrath traces how the ancient fusion of Greek contemplation and Jewish revelation formed the heart of Western spirituality, how that inheritance fractured into secular modernity, and why consumerism has become our age's dominant, and destructive, false religion. I hope you will enjoy this conversation as much as I did!The book is available as e-book and paperback on the publisher Collective Inks website.

This week, Nigel and Tazziii dive deep into Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (starting at 31:40), with guests Sky Tunley-Stainton from Safe in our World and comic creator Pigeon.Del Toro's darker retelling of the classic tale brings stop-motion craftsmanship and new emotional depth to Carlo Collodi's original story. But how does it succeed as a narrative beyond great visuals and thematic ambition?We discuss the value of stop-motion animation, and how the film connects audiences to a character's Ghost. Plus powerful themes woven throughout every aspect of the narrative, what it means to be disobedient, and our favourite moments in this retelling of an old story with a del Toro twist. This week's storytelling tip is about implementing a rule-based system that is tied to the emotional core of your narrative.Other stories we're enjoying include: Witch's Egg (Graphic Novel), Bone Broth (Graphic Novel), Mother (Graphic Novel), BLOB (Graphic Novel) Tress of the Emerald Sea (Book), Wake Up Dead Man: Knives Out (Cinema), 2 Guys and a Girl (ITVX), Minx (ITVX), Artful Dodger (Disney+), Minor Arcana (Comic), A Game of Fate (Book), Animal Control (Channel 4), Running Man (Cinema), Two Black Boys in Paradise, Only a Child, Mental Roots and Meow or Never (Disrupting the Narrative screening), Dandadan (Netflix), Shinobi: Art of Vengeance (PS5), Klara and the Sun (Book), A Thousand Blows (Disney+)Connect with Pigeon online:Website: https://www.pigeonmakesart.co.ukInstagram: https://instagram.com/pigeonxpersonTwitter: https://twitter.com/yourlilpigeonBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/pigeonface.bsky.socialConnect with Sky online:Story x Story #138: A Yoshi Sized Easter Egg (Super Mario Bros.

In this intimate conversation with depth psychology coach and author Deborah Lukovich, we dive into the lived story behind her memoir When Sex Meets God. We explore the midlife unraveling that cracks open desire, shadow, dreams, synchronicity, and the body's long-silenced hunger. Deborah shares how Jungian psychology shaped her awakening, how younger lovers appeared as catalysts, and how projection, archetype, and kundalini pulled her into a transformation she couldn't think her way out of. A conversation about becoming Forever Jung—alive, undone, curious, and willing to follow eros into the unknown.

Carl Jung - Why Turning 40 Becomes Your Superpower (Jungian Philosophy). Carl Jung, one of the most respected psychologists of the 20th century, believed that life doesn't truly begin when we are young. In fact, he said, “Life really begins at forty. Before then, you are just doing research.” What he means by this is that the first part of life is mainly preparation. In our twenties and thirties, we are learning how the world works. We try to build a stable life - we work, we build relationships, we try to be responsible, to succeed, and to fit in. We form an identity based on what we think we should be. During this phase, we are busy figuring things out and trying to prove ourselves. This is normal. Jung believed this part of life is necessary. But when we get close to forty, something starts to change. And this is where many people misunderstand what's happening. Our culture often makes turning forty sound like the beginning of decline - like youth is over and everything after that is just a race to the grave. We've all heard the phrase “midlife crisis,” as if anyone who questions or changes their life at this stage is falling apart. Jung said the opposite. He believed that the feelings that show up around forty - the restlessness, the questioning, the sense that something is missing - are not signs of failure… but signs of growth. It's not that life is ending. It's that the first version of your life has done its job. You have built a life on the outside - now you are ready to understand your life on the inside. So when Jung said life begins at forty, he meant that this is the age when experience finally allows you to see yourself more clearly. It's the point where life shifts from trying to prove who you are to simply living as who you are. So in this podcast we're going to explore why life really begins… at forty. So here are 6 reasons why life truly begins at 40 according to Carl Jung -  01. We Spend Early Life Building a Persona 02. Midlife Opens the Door to the Inner Self 03. We Finally Understand Ourselves 04. Dreams Become the New Language 05. Opposites Seek Reunion 06. Spiritual Questions Emerge Naturally I hope you enjoyed listening to these 6 reasons why life truly begins at 40 according to Carl Jung.  Carl Jung, together with Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, is one of the 3 founders of psychoanalysis which is a set of psychological theories and methods aiming to release repressed emotions and experiences - in other words, to make the unconscious conscious. Jung was born in Switzerland in 1875 and died in 1961, leaving behind great works in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology and religious studies. Jung had Freud as a mentor for a good part of his career but later he departed from him. This division was painful for Jung and it led him to found his own school of psychology, called analytical psychology as a comprehensive system separate from psychoanalysis. If classical psychoanalysis focuses on the patient's past, as early experiences are very important in personality development, analytical psychology primarily focuses on the present, on mythology, folklore, and cultural experiences, to try to understand human consciousness. One of the most important ideas of analytical psychology which Jung founded is the process of individuation, which is the process of finding the self - something Jung considered an important task in human development. While he did not formulate a systematic philosophy, he is nonetheless considered a sophisticated philosopher - his school of thought dubbed “Jungian philosophy”. Its concepts can apply to many topics covered in the humanities and the social sciences. A good part of his work was published after his death and indeed there are still some articles written by him that to this day have yet to be published. Some of his most important books are: “Psychology of the Unconscious”, “Man and His Symbols”, “The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious”, “Modern Man In Search of a Soul”, “The Psychology of the Transference”, “Memories, Dreams, Thoughts”, and “The Relations Between the Ego and the Unconscious”. Besides being a great writer and a researcher, he was also an artist, a craftsman and even a builder. His contribution is enormous and there is a great deal we can learn from his works.

The podcast features a return visit from Erick Godsey, who has worked alongside Kyle for over six years in Fit For Service (FFS) and previously at Onnit, where their desks were next to each other. They share a deep bond over discussions on Jungian psychology, tarot readings, and personal growth. The conversation primarily centers around their recent shared experience participating in a vision quest guided by Ken Conte, recounting their transformative journeys and the lessons learned. Kyle and Erick discuss the physical and psychological challenges they faced, the spiritual teachings they encountered, and the profound impacts on their personal lives and relationships. They also touch upon the end of their time with FFS, the grief and growth that came with it, and their plans for future ventures like Full Temple Reset and the Kyle's new digital community. Throughout, the importance of facing adversity, alchemical transformation, and continuous self-improvement is emphasized.   FULL TEMPLE RESET registration is now open.

7 Shadow Clues That Reveal Your True Calling - Carl Jung (Jungian Philosophy). Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist who believed that the human mind has two layers - the conscious, which is everything we're aware of, and the unconscious, which holds the thoughts, emotions, and memories we've pushed out of awareness. And deep within that unconscious lies what Jung called the shadow - the hidden side of ourselves. We suppress these parts because, at some point, we learned they weren't acceptable. Maybe we were told to stay quiet, to be “good,” or to hide our emotions - so we buried whatever didn't seem to fit. But Jung believed that if we truly want to understand who we are, we have to stop running from those hidden parts and start listening to them. Because here's the thing - your shadow isn't just the darkness you try to hide. It also carries your unlived potential: your creativity, your voice, your courage, your power -  and often, the clues to your real calling. Jung's philosophy is often referred to as “Jungian Philosophy”. He has also published multiple books like  The Psychology of the Unconscious, Man and His Symbols, The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious, Modern Man In Search of a Soul, The Psychology of the Transference, Memories, Dreams, and Thoughts, and The Relations Between the Ego and the Unconscious. In this podcast, we're going to explore 7 shadow clues that reveal your true calling. So here are 7 shadow clues that reveal your true calling from the philosophy of Carl Jung - 01. Feeling Stuck, Numb, or Disconnected 02. Strong Reaction to Someone Else's Behaviour 03. Repeating Patterns or Failures  04. Messages from the Dreams 05. Stories, Movies, or Characters You're Drawn To 06. When Life Mirrors Your Inner World 07. Self-Sabotage and Avoidance I hope you enjoyed listening to these 7 shadow clues that reveal your true calling from the philosophy of Carl Jung.  Carl Jung, together with Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, is one of the 3 founders of psychoanalysis which is a set of psychological theories and methods aiming to release repressed emotions and experiences - in other words, to make the unconscious conscious. Jung was born in Switzerland in 1875 and died in 1961, leaving behind great works in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology and religious studies. Jung had Freud as a mentor for a good part of his career but later he departed from him. This division was painful for Jung and it led him to found his own school of psychology, called analytical psychology as a comprehensive system separate from psychoanalysis. If classical psychoanalysis focuses on the patient's past, as early experiences are very important in personality development, analytical psychology primarily focuses on the present, on mythology, folklore, and cultural experiences, to try to understand human consciousness. One of the most important ideas of analytical psychology which Jung founded is the process of individuation, which is the process of finding the self - something Jung considered an important task in human development. While he did not formulate a systematic philosophy, he is nonetheless considered a sophisticated philosopher - his school of thought dubbed “Jungian philosophy”. Its concepts can apply to many topics covered in the humanities and the social sciences. A good part of his work was published after his death and indeed there are still some articles written by him that to this day have yet to be published. Some of his most important books are: “Psychology of the Unconscious”, “Man and His Symbols”, “The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious”, “Modern Man In Search of a Soul”, “The Psychology of the Transference”, “Memories, Dreams, Thoughts”, and “The Relations Between the Ego and the Unconscious”. Besides being a great writer and a researcher, he was also an artist, a craftsman and even a builder. His contribution is enormous and there is a great deal we can learn from his works.

In this case, the Jupiter-ruled Sun's shadow often includes the tendency toward hubris, or arrogance. And, since Jupiter often represents the “king,” “ruler,” or “leader,” while the Moon often rules “the people,” it's easy to put this into a current context in the U.S. as its president tries to gerrymander his way to hubristically maintain future control over those living here.Yesterday, as the Gemini Full Moon perfected at 13'04” Gemini at 3:14 p.m. PT & 6:14 p.m. ET on December 4, the Supreme Court announced its decision to let stand the Texas state gerrymander that would give its GOP five more U.S. House Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections.What's interesting about this particular Gemini Full Moon is that its squares the transiting mean nodal axis's Virgo South Node & Pisces North Node—which urges us to move way from trying to control everyone & everything & to let go & let it flow.The tension of this Gemini Full Moon thus creates a mutable grand cross, denoting a shift in the karmic axis as the heart (Moon) & the mind (Sun) cry out for integration. This combines with Mars in Sagittarius's approaching square to Saturn in Pisces, which perfects December 8, & portends a period of irritability & frustration, & cautions us to work concentratedly & carefully rather than succumbing to despair. While grand water trine formed between Mercury in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, & Saturn & Neptune in Pisces at this Gemini Full Moon is touted as a way to get more deeply in touch with our feelings, it can also blind us to the emotional plight of others. That's because a grand water trine is subjective rather than objective. And as such, it can cause us to feel sorrier for ourselves than for others. However, awareness of this tendency now can save us from becoming emotionally immune to suffering of others.I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW AS NEPTUNE STATIONS DIRECT IN PISCESThe latter is potentially more true than the former, given that Neptune--the planet of illusion, confusion, & delusion—which entered Aries on March 30 of this year, then stationed retrograde at 2'10” Aries on July 7, then moved back into 29-degrees of PI on October 22--is about to station direct @ 29'22” Pisces on December 10.It's during this retrograde period that “the powerful empathy between oneself & those who are helpless is a mirror of one's own inner helplessness,” explains Jungian astrologer Erin Sullivan in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape.”In other words “one really hopes in the process of helping others to help oneself,” Sullivan explains. To me, there is a strong element of “there, but for the grace of god, go I,” as well as the oft quoted proverb to “walk a mile in someone else's shoes before judging them” in Sullivan's explanation of the Neptune retrograde period.And, when we take into consideration the time span of NE's Rx period-- which was accompanied fairly closely with SA's station Rx on July 13 @ 1'56” Aries & his subsequent station direct at 25'09” PI on November 27—during which the two remained in fairly close transit--we can see even more clearly now in retrospect the dissolution of boundaries between the ego & the unconscious--in each of us individually as well as within the greater collective.All we need do, at least here in America, is remember how this period led to the passage in the U.S. Congress of Trump's touted “big beautiful bill” signed into law on July 4. And how--in addition to adding to the continued future financial inequality of Americans (by virtue of huge tax cuts for the rich)--resulted also in the huge increase in funding for the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration & Customs Enforcement. Because during its retrograde Neptune backtracks over potentially sensitive degrees, we might note now that this is what happened since Neptune crossed the the U.S. Sibly July 4, 1776, natal chart's IC & 4th House cusp at 1'03” Aries twice so far. Once direct, Neptune will hit this degree again circa January 28, 2026.In psychological astrology, Neptune in or ruling the 4th House (meaning Pisces is on its cusp) denotes what Jungian astrologer Liz Greene calls a ”weak father.” Given that we're looking at the chart of the birth of America, as Monty Python would say “say no more…” if you catch my drift & recognize that a president is known as “the father his country.”Saturn will reenter Aries on February 13 & conjoin with Neptune exact @0'45” Aries on February 20 at 11:53 a.m. ET. Saturn then reenters the U.S. 4th House on February 23 & Neptune follows suit on February 28.When we synthesize these movements, we've got a lot of potential dissolution of foundations located at the very foundation of the U.S. Sibly chart—particularly related to the “father of the country.” Nuff said—for now…Be sure to tune in to learn more about all of this--including Mercury's opposition to Uranus December 10, the third quarter monthly lunar square of the Pisces Moon to the Sagittarius Sun & Mercury's entrance into Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius December 11!It all drops today December 5 at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingSee you then!

OUR AWESOME GUEST This WEEK: Paul Cuneo Change doesn't start with a neat plan. It starts with the knowing that your current path no longer fits, and the quiet nudge that something braver is calling. We sit down with Paul Cuneo, creator of the Hero's Journey Odyssey Experience, to explore how ancient story patterns and Jungian psychology can turn that restlessness into a reliable map for reinvention. From the call to adventure to the ordeal and the return, Paul shows how each stage reflects an inner identity shift—and how recognizing where you are can reduce fear, clarify next steps, and restore momentum.Paul's unconventional path from music and movement to acting and identity work reveals a key insight: the world doesn't need a perfect performance, it needs your singular presence. That principle anchors his client work. When the ego gets loud—demanding certainty and control—intuition speaks in whispers that are easy to miss. Paul offers practical ways to hear those signals, “follow the firefly,” and clear the hidden blockages (guilt, old stories, outdated defenses) that keep solutions out of reach. One powerful reframe: you don't have to give up who you are; you only have to release the belief that you need certain traits to be safe. Set the sword down so both hands can be in the work, and pick it up again only when it's truly needed.We also unpack a liberating lens on agency: reality versus agreement. Buildings are real; businesses are agreements. Labels are agreements. When you see how much of your life you've consented to, renegotiating becomes possible. If you agreed, you can change the terms. By mapping your journey, honoring the old identity with gratitude, and stepping toward the new one without clinging, hard stops feeling like failure and starts feeling like progress. If you're navigating a career pivot, a relationship shift, or a deep reinvention, this conversation offers structure, language, and tools to move forward with courage. If it resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review—we'd love to hear which stage of the journey you're in now."One of the MOST profound, think outside the box episodes I've experienced while hosting the show" - Brad WeismanHi This is Brad Weisman - Click Here to Send Me a Text Message ---Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show, where we dive into the world of real estate, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman!

! JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN FOR all the Astro News You Can Use @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking podcast!ANY WAY THE WIND BLOWS, EVERYTHING YOU DON'T KNOW TURNS INTO A REVELATIONThe Scorpio New Moon, which occurred at 28-degrees 12-minutes Scorpio at 10:47 p.m. PT November 19 & 1:47 a.m. ET November 20, opposed Uranus retrograde at 29-degrees 29-minutes of Taurus, known as the “Pleiades point” in Greek mythology. Found in the Taurus constellation, the seven weeping sisters represent “blindness”--sometimes literally, more often metaphorically.So, Mercury retrograde's reentrance into the 29th degree of Scorpio on November 18/early November 19--when Mercury then exact opposed Uranus Rx @ 29 Taurus seem now in hindsight to have represented a “once I was blind but now I can see” moment. .Astrologically speaking this Mercury/Uranus opposition aspect alone told us that something unusual, something sudden & potentially shocking was likely to happen as we approached this Scorpio New Moon. This was then confirmed as we waxed toward today's exact Sun/Uranus opposition on November 21.And, sure enough, it was as these aspects waxed in strength & as we approached the Scorpio New Moon that President Trump—who'd formerly insisted these Epstein documents were a “Democratic hoax”—announced his unexpected turnaround. Suddenly, after realizing that resistance was futile, he was all for passage of “The Epstein Files Transparency Act” & declared that he would sign the bill when it reached his desk.And so he did on November 19, just before the Scorpio New Moon arrived. Now this month's lunation directs us to plant seeds that allow us to gain a greater sense of self-empowerment—both individually & collectively—but that such empowerment will come with some surprising revelations as we face our hidden shadows. Shadows to which we've previously been blind, given this lunation's opposition to Uranus retrograde at the 29 Taurus Pleiades degree--as they emerge suddenly, & perhaps shockingly, into the light of day.For Donald Trump, who experienced this lunation in his Pluto/Scorpio-ruled 4th House of early psychological roots opposing transiting Uranus in his 10th House of reputation in the wider world & square to his Leo Ascendant (appearance to others) & fixed star Regulus, it the message now seems clear.His popularity waning, his strong-arm tactics shot down in courts, his inability to understand the definition of “affordability” in the economic realm, his thirst for revenge & warlike tactics both domestically & internationally, the question becomes whether this is the beginning of the end for him. He is, after all, now considered political a “lame duck”—one who's constitutionally prevented from running for president again, despite acting like the U.S. Constitution doesn't exist.YOU WATCH & YOU WAIT, & PRAY FOR THE DAY…With transiting Uranus retrograde now square Donald Trump's Leo Ascendant & fixed star Regulus—which at his birth conjoined his Ascendant in Leo—Trump is now facing what Regulus traditionally represents--which is king maker & (potentially) king breaker. Fixed star Regulus, considered one of the four royal stars by the ancient Persians, has a connotation with "Watcher of the North," & as such was seen as a guardian star, which brought honor and success. However, Regulus carried the warning that succumbing to vengeful impulses would diminish its blessings. In short, seeking & gaining power was in its purview, but that power would be lost if such a person resorted to revenge of his or her perceived enemies.Given that transiting Uranus first squared Trump's Leo Ascendant/Regulus on June 17, 2025, he's already taken the first hit. However, his second exact square occurred on November 7, the day he pardoned 70+ people who'd been instrumental in his “stop the steal” elector scheme leading to the U.S. Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021. Next he's gone after his political opponents for doing their jobs, such as former FBI Director James Comey, NYS Attorney General Letitia James, & more, as he seeks revenge against those attempting to hold him legally accountable for his own wrongdoings.What's important to realize now is that Uranus, which remains retrograde in Taurus until February 3, 2026, will once again comes into orb of squaring his Leo Ascendant/Regulus between April 6-25, 2026. It's on April 26 of next year that Uranus direct reenters Gemini for the duration of its transit there.The point is that Trump is not done yet with his potential fall from grace, based on ancient archetypal astrological calculations which foretell a diminished future for him, to put it diplomatically. What that will look like exactly is hard to say, as he's always been extremely lucky despite his mafioso tendencies.Astrologer Rob Hand generally describes the Uranus square to one's Ascendant in his book “Planets In Transit” as one that “…is likely to have a very disruptive effect on your relationships. Influences may enter your life, either through your home or your profession, that will challenge the foundations upon which your life is built. This challenge will be reflected in surprising encounters with others that upset your way of living or in sudden separations from person who you thought would remain in your life for some time.” I'll leave it to you, gentle reader, to suss out the direction from which the who, what, where, how, & when of these challenges for Trump. All I ask is that you keep this particular transit in mind as we approach the early spring next year… YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, BUT IF YOU TRY SOMETIMES, YOU GET WHAT YOU NEEDNow, as we head into this month's Scorpio themed lunar cycle, we might be mindful that Mercury's still retrograde in Scorpio until it stations direct on November 29, Neptune's retrograde in Pisces until December 10, Uranus remains retrograde until February 3, 2026, & Jupiter's still retrograde in Cancer until March 10, 2026.While these retrogrades always ask us to review, Mercury Rx in Scorpio has clearly brought a lot of vitriolic language to the forefront. The point is that now we can recognize such language for what it is—the deeply violent not-so-shadow side of Donald Trump when he calls for the death of his political opponents by saying they should be hanged for telling the military not to follow illegal orders.Meanwhile, however, just before Mercury stations direct again on November 29, Saturn will station direct in Pisces November 27. We continue now to review our plans for the future (Mercury Rx), & strengthen our connection to what's real versus fantastical thinking (Neptune Rx.) In addition, we experience the shattering of “smug ideals which will not withstand true, objective clarity,” as Jungian astrologer Erin Sullivan puts it in her book “Retrograde Planets” (Uranus Rx.) And we continue to review what is our TRUE inner sense of morality, ethics, & integrity--versus that which society tells us is moral & just—& bring such inner knowing into greater consciousness (Jupiter Rx.)When Saturn stations direct at 29'09” Pisces, it will remain “within the same degree for almost six weeks on either side of the station,” according to Sullivan. “Upon its direction, one might feel as if moving in slow motion.” Despite this, something new will have “been born, but it will need a few months to become consciously manifest,” she notes.When Saturn direct reaches the degree at which it originally stationed, or 1'56” Aries, by March 2, 2026, we'll be able to see the completion of previous plans which seemed stalled during the retrograde, according to Sullivan. “Alternatively, a tentative plan or fantasy may come to reality in the last stages of the cycle,” Sullivan points out, adding “negatively, it will finish off any antiquated or non-productive relationship, projects, or activities,” as “outmoded & evening damaging values or relationships long past their productive stage do end,” she concludes.Given that the Sun entered Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius November 21, Jupiter's retrograde in Cancer has the Sadge archetype as its dispositor until the Sun moves on & into Capricorn December 21. However, since Jupiter's retrograde in Moon-ruled Cancer lasts until March 10, 2026, it's then we'll begin to realize how plans made prior to its station retrograde on November 11 have contracted rather than expanded. The point of Jupiter's retrograde period—if we are striving for greater consciousness in our lives—is that it's the period which leads us to better understand that we don't always get what we want, but that we will more often get what we need. It's knowledge--& acceptance—of the difference between these two that gives us the advantage as we navigate our lives.In terms of the U.S. Government's current administration, this bodes well, don't you think? The current administration's plans to shrink the government, eliminate diversity, equity, & inclusive policies, to hunt down & jail or deport immigrants here legally, to deny educational institutions federal funding, continue to promote misogyny, & to have the president continually profit financially from his foreign cryptocurrency deals--& so much more—is a WANT.But going after Donald Trump's political adversaries, & ignoring his own policy's negative economic effects with zero regard for his nation's citizens well-being might not be exactly what his soul actually needs, lol. Especially since he was born with a wounded Jupiter by virtue of its tight conjunction to Juno, the sign of partnership, & Chiron, the wounded healer in his 2nd House of values. If we take note of all these astrological happenings as they pertain to life here in the

Podcast: This week on The Mystical Positivist, we feature a pre-recorded conversation with returning guest Stephen Aronson about his new book, AS INSIDE, SO OUTSIDE, AS ABOVE, SO BELOW – Reconciling Science and Spirituality through Consciousness, published by Karnak Press in 2024. This series of essays represents perspectives from Stephen's half-century in the study of psychotherapy and spiritual exploration. He suggests that the energy we call consciousness is an inherent aspect of the Universe, the instrument through which the deepest understandings can be experienced. Stephen Aronson is a psychotherapist with an eclectic training background ranging from cognitive behavioral therapy to the alchemical approach of Carl Jung. His spiritual life has been a search for verification of a deeper reality underlying the ordinary world of our senses. His personal aim has been to find a way to reconcile science and spirituality which would unite the concept of Universal Intelligence with rationality. After more than a decade in Jungian analysis and over four decades of study and practice in the system of transformational psychology introduced to the West by G. I. Gurdjieff, he has sought to find an approach to illustrate these deep and complex ideas and methods in common language and universally shared experiences. Steve lives in rural Maine where he retired in 2013 after forty-three years in the practice of psychotherapy, education and training. He is also the author of THE SEARCH FOR MEANING AND THE MYSTERY OF CONSCIOUSNESS: A Psychologist's Journey Through Gurdjieff And Jung, has published on the subject of Spiritual Psychology in the Proceedings of the annual All and Everything International Humanities Conference, and has written for Parabola, a magazine dedicated to myth, tradition and the search for meaning.

Send us a textIn this powerful conclusion to the Shadow Into Light series, host Andrea Atherton takes you deep into the sacred process of healing your shadow through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Jungian psychology. Discover how the parts of yourself you once rejected, the jealous one, the controller, the avoider, are not your enemies but wounded protectors longing for compassion. Andrea explores how IFS provides a roadmap for integrating these parts into conscious wholeness, offering a bridge between Carl Jung's wisdom of shadow integration and Dr. Richard Schwartz's transformative IFS model.Through storytelling, Andrea brings to life a couple's journey from reactivity to reconnection. You'll witness how two partners learned to pause, unblend from their protectors, and speak from their Higher Selves, turning conflict into an opportunity for healing. This episode dives into the roles of protectors, managers, and exiles, showing how love deepens when both people learn to witness and soothe each other's inner worlds. With poetic warmth and psychological depth, Andrea invites listeners to see relationships as sacred mirrors where the shadow can be integrated, not feared.Join Andrea as she guides you toward Self-led intimacy, where love becomes less about perfection and more about presence. Whether you're a therapist, couple, or spiritual seeker, this episode will illuminate how embracing your shadow creates emotional safety, lasting connection, and true inner freedom. 30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

The following is a summary of the podcast excerpts, incorporating the requested format and terminology changes:The speaker, currently looking for an ideal location to paint landscapes on horizontal canvases, reflects on connections between personal experience and media narratives.The speaker recounts a "weird coincidence" involving finding the perfect painting location after thinking about the name Virgil:While driving and listening to a podcast through a single earbud, the speaker was focused on Jungian psychology—specifically, descriptions of life events as an "alchemical process to trigger psychic integration".The calm voice in the ear felt like a guide, perfectly describing the processes the speaker was concurrently experiencing, similar to how Virgil guides Dante through Hell in the Divine Comedy.The speaker realized this connection after having recently thought about the Divine Comedy cycle (Hell, Purgatory, Paradise).As soon as the speaker thought the name "Virgil," they saw a cross on the side of the road with the name Virgil on it, marking the location that turned out to be the "ideal spot for this painting".The speaker plans to return later, closer to sunset, when the mountains "turn red" for optimal lighting.The speaker provided updates on the 24-hour live stream initiative, noting that the focus is currently the "recruitment phase":The speaker has replayed 11 hours and 9 minutes, and is currently uploading a 4-hour live stream, bringing the total content to 15 hours, with the goal of reaching a full 24 hours by the end of the week.The live stream is intended to work out bugs before heavy promotion.It will always be live on X (pinned on the IPS thinktank account) and comments will be relayed into a separate Discord live chat thread.New content, including archived group chats and "10-minute videos where I break down specific components, you know, world stage, meta script, history bending," will be added to the 24/7 stream.The core of the discussion involves challenging the limitations of mainstream and alternative media views, which the speaker defines as a duopoly and a "closed system".The Failure of Skepticism:The speaker argues that critical examination of presented evidence is routinely avoided:Default responses to connections are "canned responses" used by those defending the "matrix" against "mind viruses"—ideas like the premise of fake staged events.True skeptics would create a "steelman argument" based on the best evidence presented and then attempt to destroy it.Instead, critics rely on ad hominem fallacies like claiming the speaker is "crazy," has a "tin foil hat on," or is in an "internet echo chamber". The World Stage Model and "Parallel Media":The speaker frames the media landscape using several metaphorical models to explain how systemic fakery and Psyops are concealed:Duopoly and Control: The duopoly (mainstream and alternative) are passive receivers of content; the "alternative is a subset of the mainstream". The speaker's work offers "parallel media," questioning the infrastructure that creates narratives for both sides.Seekers vs. Believers: The duopoly produces believers who accept conclusions from chosen sources, while the speaker and colleagues are seekers who confront "known unknowns" and become the "informed disbeliever". Conspiracy theorists, by contrast, rush to fill knowledge gaps with "alternative facts".Plato's Cave: The world stage is a modern interpretation where mainstream media displays "shadows on the wall," and alternative media provides an "adjacent cave on the way out with alternative shadows". Those who exit the entire cave system are deemed crazy by the "Plato's cave dwellers".Westworld Syndrome: People who refuse to confront "long-term media manipulation, how systemic it is and evidences for it" suffer from Westworld syndrome. Their programmed response to evidence that would deconstruct their false model is, "That doesn't look like anything to me".

In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Robert Nicastro welcomes back theologian, minister, and director of Process and Faith, Dr. Sheri Kling, for a rich conversation on the power of theology to renew spiritual life in a fragmented world.Sheri shares the story behind Renewing Faith, a newly released collection of essays emerging from a 2025 conference that brought together voices exploring how process and open and relational theology can breathe new life into Christian practice. Together, she and Robert unpack how these movements offer a vision of God not as a distant, all-controlling force, but as a deeply relational presence—persuasive, not coercive, and intimately involved in the unfolding of creation.Throughout the episode, Sheri explains key theological ideas in everyday terms, weaving in science, mysticism, and lived experience. She reflects on her own journey from Jungian psychology to process thought, and how this path gave her a more integrated, healing view of God, suffering, and spiritual wholeness.Later, Sheri offers a profound reimagining of divine power—sharing a story from Proverbs of Ashes that illustrates how a theology of persuasive love can make space for grief, agency, and hope.ABOUT SHERI KLING“We are a fragmented people in a fragmented world—but when we begin to think with a more integrative, relational vision of reality, faith can come alive again. We discover that we matter, we belong, and we can participate in the sacred work of a whole-making cosmos.”Sheri D. Kling, Ph.D., is a writer, theologian, songwriter, and spiritual teacher who serves as director of Process & Faith with the Center for Process Studies, interim minister of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Bradenton, Florida, and teaches regularly for the Haden Institute and Claremont School of Theology, from which she earned her doctorate. She is the author of A Process Spirituality: Christian and Transreligious Resources for Transformation and editor of Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open & Relational Theologies. She speaks, teaches, and leads retreats on spirituality, theology, and transformation, and her work can be found online at sherikling.com and her Substack, The Sacred Everywhere.Ilia Delio's upcoming webinar, The Christian Mutation: Why God Cannot Be Static, asks whether Christianity has traded the revolutionary God of Jesus for a safe abstraction. She explores instead a God who becomes with us: relational, vulnerable, and love in movement. Join us Thursday, December 4, 5:00–6:30 p.m. ET.

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN to find out what all Astro News You Can Use this portends post by listening to this week's podcast: https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking which drops November 7!This podcast reviews the astro energies—including the Mars/Uranus opposition--that led to a major wakeup call resulting from the U.S. off year elections on November 4. This wakeup call was for everyone: Both those in power & those who disagree with their policies.The Medias Touch news organization put it best: “Tuesday's results were an electoral victory for Democrats, but even more, they were a reaffirmation of democracy itself.” Thus, we had the awakening amongst those in power who seem to suddenly realize that depriving people of resources such as food & healthcare is not going to happen without pushback.And, we had the revelation amongst voters who disapprove of being starved, denied affordable healthcare, & made sick from watching people dragged off the streets & jailed—or worse yet deported--without due process rights, that democracy is still alive and well.By the Taurus Full Moon November 5 Virginia had elected a female governor--its first ever after a history of 74 former male governors--& NJ elected its second female governor. All of this speaks volumes about the Taurus Full Moon's emphasis on the awakening of feminine divine archetype. In addition, when he announced his transition team on the day of the Taurus Full Moon, we might note it is comprised entirely of females. And that his team includes Lina Kahn, the former chair of the Federal Trade Commission during President Biden's administration who fought against corporate anti-trust violators during her tenure there.Also, as Jupiter was trining Saturn at this lunation, we saw its mythological meaning come to life as 34 year-old Zohran Mamdani was elected NYC mayor by the largest turn out of voters—many of them younger ones--since 1969. Part of the Jupiter/Saturn 20-year cycle, which began when the two conjoined in Aquarius on December 21, 2020, this represents a changing of the guard from the older generation to the younger one.This theme was illustrated as well since influential California House Rep Nancy Pelosi, who's now 84 years old, announced she would not run for reelection in 2026, thus ending her long-standing influence on the democratic side of the House. Another symbolic changing of the guard by passing the baton from the old “king” to the young one… HOW'S THAT PARTNERSHIP THING BEEN WORKIN' FOR YA?Now in the waning portion of this month's lunar cycle since it began with the Libra New Moon on October 21--which called us to plant seeds to better partner with ourselves so that we may become a better parter to others—there's still a face off in the Congressional-caused government shutdown.Trouble is that lunation was fraught with pitfalls such as its squares to Jupiter & Pluto & its opposition to chaos maker Eris & wounded healer Chiron, making this month's mission harder than most. That righteous (Jupiter) control (Pluto) by the powerful would cause chaos and wounding (Chiron/Eris) to people seems now to have been foretold by this lunation.Since today marks the 38th day & the longest government shutdown in history, thus far with no end in sight, we can see clearly now how the Libra New Moon's mission to learn to better negotiate & compromise with others predicted resistance to compromise that's caused a great deal of chaos & pain.Californians voted in Prop 50 after deciding “the hell with going high when they go low” in the effort to counteract Texas's attempts to gerrymander state maps to favor adding an additional five GOP seats to the House of Representatives. Again, a result of this monthly lunar cycle's message that it's time to push back rather than lay back & continue to be disempowered.However, as we head toward the third-quarter waning “crisis in consciousness” square of the Leo Moon to the Scorpio Sun November 11, we're asked to realize that the needs of each individual are what matter, and that lumping them into groups & dismissing their concerns will cause even more chaos.The Leo Moon (“the people” in mundane astrology) are in tension with the leader (“king” in mundane astrology) who's hell bent on ruling with an autocratic hand. This recent election, as we waxed toward the Taurus Full Moon, will now lead to the realization that we are at a turning point here in America.ONCE I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I CAN SEEMeanwhile, we have the Uranus retrograding back into Taurus on November 7 & reentering at the 29-degree Pleiades point, which represents “blindness.” The question becomes whether the Trump Administration & Congress have been SO blind to what's going on in the lives of its citizens that it's actually adapted a “let them eat cake” policy & caused what's now the longest government shut down in American history? As Uranus backs into Taurus, we have also the announcement that—due to the fact that federally-employed air traffic controllers (Uranus=flight) are going without pay causing many of them to call in sick, thus creating a shortage of workers. This is leading to a 40% reduction in flights across the country (Taurus=slowdown.) This as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday period, pretty much THE most heavily traveled days of the year.Next we have Mercury stationing retrograde in Sagittarius (also a delay related to travel) on November 9. This marks the beginning of the period where Mercury moved back from the fire to the water trigon, asking us to begin to review the question “what is the quality of my life?” as Jungian astrologer Erin Sullivan puts it in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape.”Mercury will move back into Scorpio on November 18 & remain in that deeply volatile archetypal sign through its direct station on November 29 & until it reenters Sagittarius on December 11. Lots of time for us to review the emotional quality of our lives now & to discern where we may be clinging on to old emotional patterns that no longer serve us well.By November 11 Jupiter will station retrograde in Cancer, asking us to review whether what we think we want is what our soul truly needs to be happy. This is a huge lift for some, given Jupiter's propensity for pie-in-the-sky, somewhere over the rainbow, optimism & wishful thinking. Jupiter remains retrograde until March 10, 2026, so the caution is not to get too disillusioned if efforts do not pan out as previously planned during this time span. Rather, look at the bright side given the current state of U.S. politics: THEIR plans to disempower American citizens won't manifest as they thought they would, & that's a good thing, right?On November 12, Mercury retrograde conjoins with Mars in Sagittarius & perhaps we'll hear some judicial thinking (read: rulings) about the U.S. Government's attempts harm others. Could be about shooting boats out of international waters with no proof that their running drugs. Could be about the “war” Trump has declared against his own citizens by placing federal troops in American cities. Or perhaps through high tariffs that only end up taxing his own people. We shall see…In any case, there's A LOT of Astro News You Can Use to discuss when you tune into the latest “Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking!” podcast which drops today, November 7! Tune in here: https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking See you then!
