Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Dean

In the 1950s, horror comic books – featuring at times gory depictions of violence – were rising in popularity. But these comics triggered a moral panic, ultimately leading to the Comics Code Authority's decision to outlaw werewolves, vampires and even the word "horror." Now, journalist Michael Dean is out with an anthology of these long-forgotten Marvel comics: Lost Marvels No. 1: Tower of Shadows, first published in 1969. In today's episode, Dean talks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about the horror ban, the perceived relationship between comics and juvenile delinquency, and how Tower of Shadows compares to its superhero siblings.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This week's guest is the singular Michael Dean, who graduated from architecture school and played in a band before spending years in tech working on virtual reality, only to metamorphose into one of the best essayists I've ever read. With support from Humans On The Loop supporters O'Shaughnessy Ventures and Cosmos Institute, Dean is now decoding the structure of great essays and translating his framework into both a textbook and an AI-powered editing tool.In this conversation, we explore how to cultivate human agency at the frontiers where physical reality and the metaverse fold into one another and entangled human and machine intelligences unleash radical new possibilities for reflection and creativity. By the end of our discussion we start to trace the contours of a world in which everyone has a better chance to pursue their passions without having to worry about “product-market fit” — a future in culture stages a glorious insurrection against the dehumanizing division between passion and paid work.If this episode stimulates or triggers you, please leave a comment here or on YouTube — I would love to learn from you and this project exists as a space for thoughtful discourse!Upcoming Events* 3 May @ 11 am Mountain– Book Club: Prophetic Culture by Federico Campagna(patrons-only discussion)* 13 May-14 June – How To Live In The Future at Weirdosphere(five-week online course with ten sessions)Project Links• Explore this project's essay and episode archives• Join the Discord server• Browse the books we discuss on the show• Explore the conversational mind-map grown from nine years of conversations• Book me for speaking or consultingDean's LinksThe Secret Architecture of Great EssaysTeleportation, $97/month, coming soonLas Vegas & the MetaverseA change of heartPrepping for the Editor G*dsMega-updateSungazerLucy in the Sky of Large Language Models4 Types of Material in Every EssayMentioned Books & ArticlesMichael Garfield – Sacred DataJohn Smart – The transcenscion hypothesisJ.C.R.

What's up Witches!? Welcome to the first ever episode of "The Space Witch Podcast"! I'm not gonna lie, this episode is pretty embarrassing for me to look back on.

Get all your questions answered right here. I'm your host Whitney Levesque.   This is the space witch podcast episode one. As previously stated, I'm your host Whitney Levesque. Welcome to my podcast. This is my, my new domain where I can kind of geek out and talk to you guys about astrology for however long. Um, I don't really know how long this podcast is going to be just yet, but I'm excited to find out. Um, it's Kinda like a challenge. It's like how long can I talk about astrology before I just have nothing else to say or run out of breath, which, um, I'm already getting there. Um, so yeah, I'm really excited to do this. I'm also so happy that it's almost Libra season. Um, today's the first day of fall, but I believe tomorrow is the first official day of Libra season. So to all you, Libra's out there. Happy Birthday. Um, a lot of close friends and family of mine are libras and I love them so much.   Fun fact, my fiance Blake and my best friend actually both have the same birthday. Um, they're born different years, but they were both born on September 26th so shout out to them. Um, and happy birthday. So yeah, welcome to my podcast. Um, this is kind of your one stop for all things astrology. For anyone who wants to learn about astrology or doesn't understand astrology or wants to know more about it. Um, I'm a huge astrology nerd or geek. I've been really into astrology since I was 15 or 16 years old. I might've even been younger than that. I'm 22 right now. My whole interest in astrology started when I was like in high school and I was obsessed with this Scorpio boy who was very mysterious and complex and difficult for me to understand. And um, you know, like most Scorpios or just, you know, teenage boys in general when you're a 16 year old girl who doesn't understand things.   So, yeah, I wanted to understand him better and I wouldn't, I, uh, so yeah, I wanted to understand him better and I found myself, you know, googling things like Virgo and Scorpio compatibility and you know, things like that and you know, reading stupid trash sites like, uh, uh, Yahoo answers and stuff and reading all the generic descriptions of Virgo and Scorpio and why they work and why they don't work. And so eventually I was on a little site called Tumblr where I stumbled across an astrology blog. I not 100% sure, but I think it was this girl, her username was like lady Neptune and as a Pisces and she was super cool and I misreading her blog posts on tumbler. I think that's where I first found out. Like you have a whole natal chart and a whole other part of your, um, you know, your personality and your tarp beside like, you know, just your, what's called your sun sign, which I'm going to talk about a little bit later on the show and the first segment.   But yeah, so I found out I had all these other things in my car and, um, I started, you know, Google searching things. And in the end it's funny 'cause I set out to try and understand my crush better. And, uh, you know, through the process I ended up understanding myself a whole lot better. And so, yeah, basically ever since I found out there was all these, you know, layers and other things to know about astrology. I haven't been able to shut up about it ever since. So most of my friends who know me, you know, they know that like I spent, you know, countless hours just talking their ear off about astrology and their natal charts and telling them, you know, why they do this and why they don't do this and you know, what's going on with their relationships. And, you know, I even have friends, you know, messaged me when things are going wrong in their life and they were like, Whitney, like, what's going on with the stars right now?   Like, everything's basically falling to shit, like what's happening. Um, and you know, we'll, we'll talk about it. And, um, I just, I really enjoy it and a lot of people, you know, I think a lot of people ultimately see, you know, validation and that's a big thing that people get from astrology and it's just, it's a good way to grow. Like I'm all about learning and grow like self exploration and understanding. And I think astrology is a really great way to kind of dive into that, which is why I'm like just super into it. So, yeah, and I guess another one of my low key, high key, uh, ulterior motives is, um, you know, I spent a lot of time talking to people about astrology, but I think my other goal with this podcast is to make it so that maybe someday I can actually talk to people about astrology and I don't have to backtrack all the way from this one little thing that I'm talking about and explained to them, you know, what exactly like all of this means.   Because a lot of times I'll start talking to people and be like, Oh yeah, well you have Venus in Leo. And so you really like a partner who's really showy and, um, you know, and I'll start getting into all these details and people are like, what, what did you just say? And so me being the teacher that I am, I tend to go back and I give people like a mini astrology lesson to try and explain what it is that I'm actually saying. So that's kind of what, honestly, I mean, that's what inspired me to do this podcast because, you know, I spent all this time talking to people about astrology and telling them about astrology. So I figured, you know, I'm just going to do a podcast and they can just play it over and over again and I won't have to explain things nearly as much, hopefully.   Although I'm happy to, um, I'd probably just keep telling people the same stuff they want to know. So, yeah. So yeah, today on this podcast episode, I'll be explaining the sun signs, the natal chart and the astrological forecast for October. Um, so those are some things you can find right here. So in this podcast I will be explaining some fundamentals of astrology, but just a heads up, I'm not going to explain all the traits of all 12 Zodiac signs. Um, at least not in this particular podcast episode. I will make a blog post on my website, eventually explaining all 12 Zodiac signs and their basic traits so that like anyone who's listening can reference it later if they want to know. We're just, you know, kind of see like a quick view thing because it is really important to know all 12 Zodiac signs and know them in order and know them, you know, they're with her modes are, their element is no, all their, um, other traits, all their basic traits.   Uh, the reason I don't want to talk about them in this podcast is because I personally feel that it's very, uh, overdone and I've seen it a lot of places. And as an astrologer or someone who considers himself an astrologer, I don't actually know how you get the official title to be an astrologer, but I consider myself an astrologer. Um, I don't have a fancy piece of paper saying I'm an astrologer. I didn't go to school, but I do consider myself to be an astrologer because I do like to study this stuff. Anyways, I'm getting sidetracked. So back to what I was saying, as someone who considers themselves an astrologer, I am really bored with talking about the basic traits of the Zodiac signs and I'm really bored with reading and hearing other things about the basics. Zodiac signs, you can pretty much find that information anywhere.   It's not hard to find it. So my whole goal with this podcast is to get people past the point of just knowing their Zodiac sign. I want to take a step beyond that and actually talk about some more in depth things, um, that are still easy to understand for people who don't fully know about astrology. So yeah, that's my goal. I'll probably do another podcast, um, eventually touching on that stuff. Uh, but for right now I'm going to skip over that. Oh also not dimension. Like I have a feeling that even if I did do, you know, do a whole podcast where I explained all 12 Zodiac signs, people probably just skip to their sign anyways and not even listened to the other ones. So for right now I'm just, I'm not even going to bother. Another thing I wanted to touch on real quick is compatibility.   Um, I will discuss love and compatibility the bet that I will discuss love and compatibility in another podcast. But I'm not going to go through every Zodiac pairing and tell you if these two signs work or don't work and please do not flood my emails with compatibility questions. Thank you in advance. That's another whole other subject that gets, it's not super complicated, but the little complicated. And I will make a special podcast just to talk about that topic if you're someone who's here because you want to know more about love and relationships and compatibility. But I do encourage you to listen to this podcast and maybe learn some things about yourself first. Um, because you know, there's that whole saying you can't love someone else if you don't love yourself first. So right now we're just going to focus on you and finding out who you are and what you like and what you don't like and all that stuff.   Oh, and one more thing before I get into our first segment, I would like to give a huge shout out to Michael Dean from the freedom feens podcast. If you like the way I sound on this podcast and you're thinking about maybe starting your own podcast, check out his website, www dot creamy radio, audio.com all the info and equipment you could possibly need to have. Great sounding audio is all right there. I'll even link it in the show notes. Also, if you'd like to free your mind even more so beyond this podcast, head on over to the freedom beans podcast and give them a listen. I've been a huge fan of the freedom feens for about two years and I highly recommend them as one of my favorite podcasts. All right, now that all that's out of the way, let's dive straight into our first segment.   All right, I just need to breathe first and maybe have another sip of rosé real quick. Okay. So, um, for the first segment, I've decided to touch on the topic of Sun Signs. Now, most people already tend to know about their sun signs. The only thing is a lot of people don't realize that there's sun sign is called a sun sign. To put it simply for anyone who's already, you know, kind of confused about this. Um, so generally like when people ask you like, Hey, what's your Zodiac sign? Or like, what's your sign? Uh, you know, people might say, Oh, I'm a Leo, or a Virgo or a Libra or Scorpio or whatever. And so that like simple reply where, and she's like, Oh yeah, I'm a, I'm a, you know, I'm a Sagittarius. That's your sun sign right there. Um, it's called your sun sign because that's what sign the sun was the day.   That's what time the sun was in the day you were born. Um, it's really easy to know your sometime because the sun changes every like month and a half or so, possibly a little more or less than that. So all you really need to know to know what your sun sign is is just your birthday. So like I was saying earlier, it's, it's libra season. So like if your birthday was between, I think it was like the 22nd of October to, or no, sorry, the 22nd of 23rd. Wow. I was way off the 23rd of September until October six. Oh no, sorry. October 23rd. So yeah, September 23rd to October 23rd is um, Libra season. So like if you were born between that, those dates, your sun sign is in Libra. So yeah, it's really easy to know what your sun sign is. So I think that's why he's strategy gets a really bad rep as being too generic or too fake because most people only know about their son signs when in reality you actually have all these other planets influencing you as well.   Um, that's something I'm going to touch on possibly a little bit later in this podcast. I'm definitely, I'll talk about it in another podcast episode, but that's like, that's a simple explanation of what a sun sign is. I'm a slightly more complex explanation of what a sun sign is, is, um, think of it this way. So the sun is what all the planets revolve around, right? The Sun keeps the planet earth that we live on warm it gives us life. That's kind of what your sun sign does as well. Um, in your psyche or your personality. Just like how the sun is. The core thing that all the planets revolve around your sun sign is the core of who you are as a person. Uh, your sun sign is what gives you your personality, like your main personality. It gives you life and vitality. It's basically you at your youest to put it simply or plainly.   Um, it's what makes you thrive or makes you feel the most comfortable in your skin. It's your ego. A lot of people say it's kind of who you think you're supposed to be. I'm coming into this world and kind of going back to kind of what I was mentioning before, there's a lot of people who don't identify with their sun sign and maybe some people even overly identify with their sun sign. Um, there's a few explanations to that. The main one is that you might have other influences in your natal chart that might make it so you relate more to another sign or, um, planet. Then your actual sun sign. You might also have other aspects in your chart that could be influencing that as well. Um, for example, I have Pluto squaring my son, my sun sign in my natal chart, which basically means that, um, the Pluto in Sagittarius and my natal chart is basically trying to dominate or overpower my sun sign in Virgo.   Um, so when two planets square each other, it's kind of like one's trying to take over the other one. Um, so since Pluto squaring my son, it's almost like there's two planets fighting for dominance in a sense. Um, so to simplify that even even further, um, because Pluto, Pluto in Sagittarius is trying to overpower my sun sign in Virgo. That just kind of means that I sometimes show these Sagittarius or Scorpio traits because Pluto is the planet that rules Scorpio. So sometimes it can almost overpower my Virgo sun sign traits. Um, especially, you know, since Pluto in Scorpio, like those are very intense signs. Um, so especially having them square with my son, it can be very, uh, over powering. So that's my example for that. Um, another explanation for people who don't identify with their Sun signs, um, you might also have a dominant sign or a planet that you identify more strongly with, um, or it can be based on like the maturity of your sun sign.   Um, the maturity of your Sun's sign or any planet in your chart can be based on a couple things. So the first leg technical explanation, um, would be that you, so each planet in your chart has a different degree. Um, and you can find that out by looking up your natal chart. So they say that in astrology when you have, they say that in astrology, when you have a planet that's an earlier degree. So, for example, my sun sign is in Virgo, you know, it's two degrees in Virgo. Um, it means it's a very immature sign, um, which I've even read somewhere that they say that when you have an immature sign or an early degree, you know, placement of a planet in your chart, it's almost like you come out of the womb and you're just like, you're like, I am not ready to be a Virgo.   Um, you know, going back to my example, my sun sign in Virgo being in two degrees Virgo, which I thought about that and I really related to it. So like, it's, it's exactly like that. So my, I have my sun in two degrees Virgo, and it's exactly like that. It's like, you know, I came into this world as a Virgo and I was not prepared for it at all. Um, like for example, one of my biggest, biggest downfalls as a Virgo is, um, so Virgos we have a tendency, and this is why a lot of people don't like Virgos. We have this tendency to give criticisms to other people because like, we want to be helpful. Um, but when people try to give us criticisms, like try to, sorry, let me, when people tried to criticize us, um, even if it's like we're asking for it, we want advice.   If you're like me and you're an immature Virgo, um, it really cuts you to the core. Um, and you know, we're an earth sign. So we, I think most of us try to hide it for the most part, unless you're like close to us. But I'm a, it really hurts to have anyone tell you you're doing something wrong. Because, you know, Fargo's a perfectionist. We think we're doing everything right and no one can tell us otherwise. Um, and to be honest, my Aquarius rising doesn't help with this either because Aquarius risings, you know, we're very stubborn, so it's like, I, it's almost like having an early degree in my sun sign. It's like I was not ready to be born into this world and have everyone telling me like, oh, your hair's too curly, or your, you know, your outfit looks stupid and not that, those are the criticisms that I get that I, you know, cut me to the core.   Although they probably would, but you know, we're just, we're not ready for people to nit pick at us, or at least I wasn't, I guess I can't speak for all Virgos but me in particular, I was not ready. So yeah, so they say that when you have an early in earlier sun sign degree and um, it's more mature and if it's the later in like a later degrees. So I think, I forget how the degrees are split up, but if it's an a later degree, like 16 or I think 20 or 30 or something like that, um, then it's like a more mature placement. So if your son signs and a later degree, you're one of the lucky ones who was born just being perfect and mature and you can pretty much handle everything people throw at you. So like a more mature Virgo Sun, um, would come into this world and people would criticize them and they would be able to take it.   They'd be like, oh, wow, thank you so much for that helpful advice. I'm actually going to take that and use it and you know, just do my thing and be flawless like Beyonce or something. Cause Beyonce's a Virgo. I'm and she's perfect. So yeah. I don't know what degree her sun sign is, but I'm sure it's, I'm sure it's a later degree. Um, because she's flawless. But yeah. So anyways, Beyonce aside. Yeah. So earlier degrees, immature later degrees, more mature. That's kind of the point of what I'm saying. Yeah. So yeah. And then another way that your signs can be more mature or immature, um, aside from like what degree is, and this is the probably the non technical explanation, but I feel like no one really talks about this. So a lot of people don't realize you can actually grow in and out. Two different, you let me rephrase that.   You can grow in, into certain placements in your chart and you can also outgrow a certain placements in your chart, if that makes sense. Which it should, I don't know why I said that anyway. Uh, yeah, so you can kind of grow into certain places in your heart. You can outgrow them. Um, which is really cool about astrology because you can kind of grow with your signs. So like an example for me personally, um, when I was younger I resonated a lot more with my Aquarius rising and, um, when I didn't really relate to my Virgo sun sign as much, whereas now that I'm older, I actually relate a lot more to my son's side and Virgo and slightly and mean not less because it's my rising sign. And I think people always tend to resonate with a rising signs regardless. But I guess what I do think is that, you know, I've grown into my sun sign a lot more and I do embody a lot more Virgo traits.   But I think my Aquarius rising has matured a lot more, um, as I've grown up because when I was younger I was really spiteful. I was really like, I don't like to say this word because it sounds kind of cheesy, but, um, I was the typical like rebellious Aquarius and I guess I still am kind of like that now, but in a more mature way I think, you know, I still kind of like go against the grain a little bit from what most people do or most people would consider to be normal. So like I still do that stuff. Um, one thing I really tried to work on is, so like one of my natural Aquarius rising tendencies that I used to go to when I was younger is I was so, so spiteful and I hated being bossed around. Um, if anyone told me what to do, I always wanted to do the opposite just to like get back at them because you know, in my head I'd be like, who does this person think they are telling you what to do?   I know everything. They know nothing. Like, um, I was very stubborn and pretentious in that way and I still am a little bit. Um, but you know, with age I've tried to work on it because, you know, one thing I've learned is, you know, acting that way is very detrimental, which is kind of another little thing I wanted to point out just because you know, you have certain traits that are part of certain placements in your chart. It's not always healthy to over identify with them. Um, you can still show them in different ways, but like at the same time you need to check in with yourself and think about what you're doing and be like, is this something I'm actually doing that's going to benefit me or is it not going to benefit me? And you know, obviously if you're doing stuff that's not going to benefit you or not helping you as a person, you need to work on that and move past it.   You can't just be like, you know, Oh, I'm a, I'm an Aquarius rising, so I'm just going to be spiteful every time anyone tells me to do anything or, you know, says anything to me, I'm just always going to do the opposite because I'm an Aquarius rising. So that's what I got to do. Um, no, it doesn't have to be like that. And you can kind of have those traits and still have them come out in other ways. So, um, not to be like, oh look at me, I'm a special snowflake and I'm so quirky and different. But these are just kind of my personal examples. So like I'm an Aquarius rising, I have like very unconventional, like political views. Um, I have very unconventional interests like astrology and podcasting. I'm Vegan, like, you know, so all these like little things like that, you know, are kind of what would be considered like Quirky Aquarius traits, at least in my opinion.   Some people might disagree with it. Please don't send me hate mail. Thank you so much. So, yeah, and you know, I, I embody a lot of Virgo traits that I'm now trying to work on too. Like I, you know, I'm someone who worries a lot and you know, I'm super critical and picky and you know, and that, those are all things I need to work on. Like every, like I said, or you know, before, like, you know, you can, every sign has good and bad traits. Um, you don't need to overly identify them and use them as an excuse for your bad behavior, but, you know, it's, it's all part of like the process of growing and being a person. So it's good. It's okay. Like if you have those traits, but like, you know, and everyone's going to have them come out sometimes, but as long as you're, you need basically, my whole point is if you're doing things that are not good, please be aware of them and do something about them.   And don't just use your Zodiac sign as an excuse to do it. Um, I really want to put a lot of emphasis on that because, you know, I think a lot of people tend to do that. I think there was, there was some youtube video, or maybe it was a vine, I don't remember, but someone showed me this one that was just like, this person, like doing all these bad things and they're like, oh, it's okay. I'm a Virgo. I'm a bitch because I'm a Virgo. And it's like, okay, like, yeah, that's funny. But also like some people are actually like that and you guys just, you need to not, we all need to not, um, because it's not, it's not beneficial to you. It's not beneficial to the people around you. But anyways, I'm getting way, way off track anyways. So yeah, that's my whole thing about Sun signs.   Um, the main takeaways are that, um, you know, your sun sign is just your birthday. It's the core of who you are. Your Sun sign is your ego and you might not fully identify with your sun sign. And that's totally, oh Kay. Um, it's okay to not identify with your sun sign. So yeah, for anyone at home taking notes, as long as you remember that your sun sign is your ego, it's the core of who you are and it's your birthday. I'm to write that stuff down and you're good. That's all you need to know about your sun sign. And yeah, that's your sun sign segment.   All right. Um, and we're back with this next segment. Um, so in this next segment, um, I'm going to be talking all about the natal chart or the birth chart as some people like to call it. Um, to get started. What is the natal chart? A natal chart is basically like a snapshot of where all the planets were, the day you were born. Um, this makes me think of when people say stuff like, oh, the stars were all aligned or the planets were all aligned. So it's meant to be, um, the planets are always shifting. And changing your natal chart is simply just like a picture that shows what all the planets were doing at the exact moment when you were born. This is why it's super important to know the exact time and date and the place you were born when calculating your natal chart.   Um, because if you don't have all those exact details, your natal chart might be, um, pretty off or slightly off, which, you know, details are super important with this stuff. So even if something's a little bit off, it can still kinda change how you view everything. Um, in the last segment I talked about, you know, what a sun sign is and what most people don't know is you have all these other planets in your chart as well, including like the moon even. Um, I know the moon is not technically considered a planet, so I cannot just throw that in there, um, according to these notes anyway. Uh, so all these wins interact with each other differently and they make up your needle tart. So that's kind of what, what your natal chart is. It just shows, you know, where all the planets were and how they're interacting with each other.   The day you were born. There is some like scientific stuff that I, I'm definitely going to talk about on another podcast that explains, you know, scientifically how you're, you know, noodle chart and how the planets affect us, which I guess it's, you know, something to do with like vibrations and stuff. But anyways, I'll talk more about that at a later date. Um, so yeah. Um, so everyone has a natal chart. It's every one dental Tara is like pretty different and unique unless you happen to meet someone who was born at the same place and time as you were. Even twins can have similar charts, but their charts, um, can still be slightly different depending on how far apart they were born. Um, so they might have a very similar chart, but they could still possibly have like a few things that are slightly off depending on, you know, how far apart they were. They were born.   Okay.   So, yeah. So, um, so your needle part is kind of just the Duh, I'm going to start that over. So your natal chart is kind of just like a map of your psyche. Everything you could ever possibly want to know is in your natal chart. You can go as far as finding out like, you know, the details of like how you'll die. Um, which I'm sure a lot of people maybe don't want to know. Um, or maybe you do want to know. Um, so you can go as far as finding out, you know, things like when you'll die to finding out, you know, really weird random things like, you know, what, what's your brother's neighbor going to be like? Um, stuff like that. Um, you can even use it to understand more mundane and less scary things like, uh, you know, what's your ideal career path of what are your talents?   What are you good at? What kind of traits do you look for in a partner? What do you need to feel secure? Uh, w what would your ideal partner be like? Why do your relationships fail? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? What areas of life are more challenging for you? All your questions can be answered simply by examining just your natal chart. It's basically just like a map of like, you know, your entire being almost. Um, I can explain, you know, your childhood experiences, your future experiences, um, what you need to work on, what's helping you, what's hurting you. Um, basically that's, that's why I love astrology. Cause if you, if you want to understand something about yourself, you just look at your chart. Everything's right there. It's, it's almost like, you know, we just, it's almost as if people came with a manual.   I know everyone says like, Oh life doesn't come with a manual or you know, life does come with a manual. It's the Bible or you know, stuff like that. But I dunno, I feel like you know, the manual to your life as your natal chart, everything you want to know is right there in front of you. Um, and that's one reason I wanted to educate more people about astrology and do this podcast is because just by knowing and understanding these things about ourselves, the needle tracking give us the opportunity to grow and improve as people. As with most things, nothing is perfect. I don't think astrology is a cure all for all of life's problems. It's also not an excuse. You know, like I said in the last segment, it's not an excuse for bad behavior. Why things don't always go the way you want them to in life.   Um, I mean sometimes it's strategy can have its hand in that, I guess, but for the most part, just knowing about these placements and how you can work with them and what's, you know, learning what things are more challenging and what's working against you can help so much. So, yeah, I, you know, that's the good thing about astrology is you can learn all these things about yourself and it's all right in your natal chart. And I'm, I guess, you know, I wish I had more to say about this, other than it's just the map of your soul or your psyche or whatever it is, those things, um, you know, but I kind of, I don't know, I wanted to take a time, take the time to explain it and tell people about it because a lot of people don't understand what it is. Um, so yeah, it's all just, you know, it just shows where the planets were, how they make up your personality.   I'll explain more about the planets in a later podcast, but for right now, I'm just going to leave it at that. That's just your basic explanation of the natal chart. Uh, if all that stuff seems like a lot of information or it still feels like it's over your head, don't worry, it'll start to make more sense as, as podcast continues. My goal here is to really try and break down all the elements of astrology into smaller pieces so that it'll be much easier to learn and understand. So yeah, if all that seems like a lot of information and maybe I am, I am throwing a lot of information that you guys at once. Ah, don't worry. Because you know, eventually like all the pieces will kind of come together and yeah, that's about all I have to say about the natal chart for this segment.   Oh,   so, uh, I suck at writing notes. Apparently. I thought talking about the natal chart was going to take me a lot more time than it did. So I'm just going to jump straight into my third podcast aren't, what am I saying? No, my third podcast, I'm my third segment moving on to your astrological forecast. Um, so I, I know really midway through September right now, I'm just going to jump straight into October and tell you guys what is going on in October this month. Yeah. So this is kind of my first time doing this. I'm not one to really do astrological forecasts, but I figure what's an astrology part of that? I just figured what some astrology podcast, you know, if you're not doing a forecast. Um, so without further ado, uh, at the beginning of the month on October 9th, we have our new moon in Libra, new moons are good for fresh starts manifesting, starting new goals and relationships.   New Moons. Lay out the groundwork for what you wish to accomplish. If you're Li, if you're someone with their sun in Libra or a Libra rising, you'll notice the effects of this new moon the most. It'll be energizing and getting you ready to start working towards new goals. Uh, overall I think everyone will be really energized by this. But Libra, Sun risings especially, um, you know, look, if you're not a leaver center rising, look to where those are in your natal chart and you can kind of see better how those will affect you. Um, honestly, we had a Virgo back. We had a Virgo new moon, um, last month or this month, technically earlier this month. And that's kind of what gave me the idea to start this podcast and gave me all the energy and I was, you know, I just remember feeling really good about doing this cause I'm, I'm someone, I get a lot of ideas.   I don't always act on them or follow through. I'm actually trying to do that now and I think that Virgo new moon had had something to do with it. So yeah, new moons are great and I'm really excited for all you libras out there who are going to be energized by this Libra new moon. Um, after that coming up in this forecast, we'll have Venus retrograde. Venus is going to be in retrograde from October 6th to November 16th. Um, I'm going to be doing another podcast specifically on retro grades, but for right now, all you need to know is that when a planet goes retrograde, that just means that, so basically when a planet is retrograde, it just means that from down here on earth, if we were to look up at it through a telescope, um, it would appear that the planet is moving backwards. This is an optical illusion.   It's not really moving backwards. Um, but every like couple of months or years or so, depending on the planet, um, we noticed this phenomena and yeah, so it looks like it's moving backwards because of this. Um, all of that planet's energy kind of gets reversed in a way. So instead of us using those energies and channeling them outwardly, they become internalized. So this Venus retrograde, we're all going to be internalizing our Venus traits. Um, so, you know, usually during retrogrades, like they say, because everything's being internalized, a lot of mishaps can happen because a lot of the time, especially with social planets like mercury or Venus, um, we're not outwardly, we're not like mentally present, I guess is what I'm trying to say. Uh, so a lot of things can happen and miss us, so to speak. I'm like, we're not mentally present, so we're, you know, mistakes will happen.   Um, so, and it's not really a bad thing. Like a lot of people think that rhetoric are bad and they're not really bad. Um, I mean, yes, like bad, bad, what's concerned, bad things can happen. But really the best thing about retrogrades is that they're a good time for inner reflection and to rethink and reevaluate and re-plan some things depending on where the retrograde falls in your chart. Um, if you look at where the retrograde falls in your chart, you can get a better understanding of, uh, you know, what things are going to be working on during that retrograde. So getting back to Venus and retrograde and the Venus retrograde will affect everyone a little bit differently depending on where it is in their chart. Some basic things to look out for with this retrograde will be things like, you know, don't go back to your boyfriend, ex boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, booty call, whatever.   Don't go back to any relationships that are no longer serving you. They might rear their ugly heads back into your life and it might seem tempting, but don't do it. It most likely won't work out and you'll eventually, you remember why things didn't work out in the first place. Another thing to watch out for is, um, is you know, spending money or changing, making drastic changes to your appearance. Uh, these things are all going to seem tempting, but at the very least, you know, get a second opinion before you do these things, you might end up with some huge regrets or at the very least a bad haircut. Uh, if you're not careful, Venus is all about love, relationships, luxury and beauty. So these things are going to be highlighted during this retrograde. So that's why I advise you listeners out there to use caution when you feel the temptation to pursue some of these things.   Um, you know, get a second opinion or, you know, sleep on it for a bit before you just decide to, you know, dive on into it. Like, think about it. If it's something that you really want, um, or you think it'll look good or won't look good or if you really need it. Um, even if you to act on some of these things, that's okay too. I think a big reason why we have retrograde is so people can learn from their mistakes. Um, I think they're here to teach us the lesson. It sucks because we shouldn't need to keep repeating the same mistakes, but you know, some people really need that in order to finally get a wakeup call. And some people just never learned their lesson. Um, that's life unfortunately. Uh, but, you know, I'm, I'm personally a big fan of mistakes. I make them often and you know, mistakes are how we grow and evolve as people.   And, you know, I guess it's just like trial and error, right? Like, just keep doing stuff and see if it works and if it doesn't work, try something else. Um, definitely do not keep doing the same things over and over again if they're not working for you. Uh, moving on from Venus and retrograde will be ending the month with a full moon in Taurus on October 24th. Full moons are good for completion and harvesting. Reflecting on how far you've come since the last new moon, did you meet all the goals that you've set for yourself on the last new moon? Uh, this is a good time to take inventory and check in with yourself, uh, making sure that you're doing all the things that you set out to do. If you want a more in depth look on how that will affect you personally, then it looked to see where tourists is in your natal chart and you can find out more on how the full moon will affect you.   And they say that, uh, following the moon cycles are a great way to set goals and intentions. So, yeah, there's not too, too, too much going on in October, but definitely some stuff to be aware of. I actually just learned today that I'm apparently in most Colt and a lot of cultures, uh, farmers use the moon to like plant and harvest their crops. Uh, which I thought was super interesting because you know, as much of an astrology nerd that I as I am, um, I didn't know that, so I thought that was super, super interesting. Um, but yeah, so, you know, these are the things happening this month are mostly good. Uh, it might be challenging for some people with this Venus retrograde. Um, but it's okay. Sometimes we just got to go through some shit for a better outcome. It's, you know, it's like what they say, no mud, no lotus.   Um, a beautiful lotus can only grow through the mud. So if you're not going through the mud, you're not going to get the Lotus. So yeah, embrace any hardships you run into in the month of October, you'll come out stronger and better in the end. I promise it might suck, but you'll be okay. Um, just, you know, be wary of the things I mentioned to do, you know, don't go back to your ex boyfriend, girlfriend, booty call side chick. Uh, you know, people that, you know, you know, things didn't work out in the past, you know, they might, they might creep up on Ya and they might seem, you know, enticing. Um, but you know, keep your head up and tell them no, stay away. Um, or don't, if you want to, you know, learn that lesson again, go for it. Um, because hopefully you'll learn your lesson this time. So yeah, that is your October, 2018 astrological forecast   and I think that just about covers everything. I think we're nearing the end of the first episode of the space. Which podcast. Thank you for joining me. Um, oh, and for anyone who doesn't know, like the reason I chose the name, the space, which podcast is because, um, for awhile I had a Tumblr blog, which I really hate to say for some reason. I don't know why. I just feel like there's this weird stigma around tumbler and astrology, like both of those, both of those things specifically. Um, but yeah, I had an astrology blog on Tumblr and I got this nickname, the space witch and it kind of caught on, so I thought it would be a cool name for my podcast and yeah, so I just kind of stuck with it. Anyways, I'm excited to return to my weekend off. Um, and it's the first official day of fall. So, you know, once I'm done with this, I'm probably going to go throw my skeleton jammies, uh, maybe pour another glass of Rosé, throw on some Hulu, get caught up on American horror story and just, you know, curl up on the couch with my cat and my fiance and call it a night. So, yeah. Um, hopefully you took something away from this podcast. Hopefully you, you all learned a lot. Thanks for joining me once again. I'm your host Whitney Levesque and I'll catch you next time on the space witch podcast.

Welcome to episode number two. So I haven't fully decided what I want to talk about today. I have a few things I want to discuss. Um, mainly I guess what I want to talk about today is like astrology culture, if that makes sense. I'm sorry if I sound quieter than usual. Uh, it's like 11 in the morning and I'm still pretty tired. Uh, I've been sitting here working on a blog post and drinking some cold coffee out of my Virgo mug and hanging out with my cat Sigurd the stone count. Uh, I don't know why we call him the stone count. It's just kind of a nickname. Um, anyway, yeah. So I guess today is going to be more of just like a me talking about random stuff episode. Uh, I mean, I will throw in some stuff so people can actually like, you know, learn. But I think I'm just going to chat for a little bit about, you know, some stuff I've been seeing about astrology in the news and, uh, you know, just like the general culture around astrology. Um, so yeah, let's get into it. Um, so I was, I'm working on some other astrology related projects that I don't want to go into too much detail about, um, just yet, but for right now, um, yeah, I look for right now. Yeah. I just had to do some, I had to do some research. Uh, so I came across this article from the Atlantic that was titled The new age of Astrology and the stressful data driven era. Many young people find comfort and insight in the Zodiac even if they don't exactly believe in it. Um, that's the name of the article. The, when I found it on Google, it said like, why are millennials so obsessed with Miss Oh, with astrology? So I figured I would kind of talk about that today because honestly, this article made me laugh a little bit. Um, I'm sure like maybe there is some truth to some of these, but, um, basically the key things I got from this article is like, you know, oh, millennials are just so stressed out and uncertain about the future that, you know, astrology just kind of makes them feel better. They talk about, and millennials like we use it as a coping mechanism, which, you know, I guess in a way maybe we do, uh, you know, it is, astrology does give a lot of people comfort, uh, whether you're, whether you're a millennial or a non millennial, you know, then there's another quote saying like, Oh, we take a strategy very seriously, but we also don't necessarily believe in believe in it. It's just the way we look at the world. Um, so basically it's just, I dunno, this whole article just made me laugh because it's like, oh yeah, like, you know, millennials just love astrology because we're so stressed out. Which again, like, yes, there is some truth to that. Um, what's funny is I feel like I can kind of debunk this article just using astrology. So my first thoughts when I read this, as, you know, a lot of millennials, uh, you know, they either have Pluto and Scorpio or Pluto and Sagittarius. So I mean maybe there's another generational planet that might influence us. Maybe someone has a different opinion out there, which is fine. Um, but I just thought it was funny. So Pluto is basically a planet that's all about uncovering secrets, debunking the taboo. It's, you know, finding truth. Uh, alternatively, like in your chart, Pluto's a lot about, um, getting rid of things that don't serve you anymore. Getting rid of obsessions, addictions. Um, because Pluto is all about obsession and addiction. It's a very intense planet. Um, so a lot of times when we are dealing with Pluto and astrology, we're working to get rid of things we don't really necessarily need or things that don't serve us. A lot of the times, you know, it's just, you know, weeding out all the bullshit to get to the truth or the core of a situation. Um, and that's what I think, you know, Pluto is really about, well that and transformation. Uh, Pluto, you know, it's ruled by like, you know, what are the, Gosh, I'm blanking out on it. Uh, one of the things that you know, Pluto is associated with is, um, the, the Phoenix, which, you know, if you know anything about like mythology and stuff and you know, the Phoenix and it burns and rises from the ashes. And, um, that's a huge thing that Pluto is all about is transformation. So, you know, it's, it's a lot about, you know, weeding out the stuff we don't need and transformation. Um, because you know, you can't really transform if you're not weeding out the stuff that doesn't serve you anymore. So anyways, getting back to what I was saying, a lot of people, you know, that our millennials, you know, they either had Pluto and Scorpio and Pluto in Sagittarius. So when you have Pluto and Scorpio, that's, you know, Scorpios in its home there because Scorpio's ruled by Pluto. Scorpio is already a very like no bullshit sign and no nonsense. And you know, again, it's all about seeking truth and, you know, getting rid of the taboo, like a lot of like for example, like a lot of Scorpios you meet are very skeptical because, you know, they don't believe everything they hear usually. Um, they always want to, you get to the bottom of things and uncover the truth. And I think a lot of people with Pluto and Scorpio, um, I feel like there is this general appeal, um, where they might be interested in a cultism of some sort because they want to know the truth. And I think, I mean, I think that's true for anyone who has interest in, you know, astrology or Tarot cards or, you know, the occult is, you know, searching for truth because, you know, I think everyone has this desire to get a better, deeper understanding of, you know, this thing called life. Um, and we look to it for guidance when things don't really make sense. Um, so I really just think that people would put out a Scorpio, you know, one reason they might be interested in astrology is because, you know, they want to get to the bottom of things. They want to know why things are the way they are. Um, and I think that's a lot of the appeal, um, as to why, uh, you know, some millennials are interested in that. Um, well, you know, I thought talking about astrology, would be so easy until I actually started talking about it and now I'm like running out of breath and all this other stuff. Um, anyway. Um, yeah, so I think that's another reason, you know, that's just one of the reasons why millennials do tend to seek out astrology more so than maybe other generations. And so, and even some, you know, people in Gen x might even have Pluto and Scorpio to, I think, um, I should probably look that up, but, uh, I'm not going to right now. But anyways, um, so yeah, that's all, you know, Pluto and Scorpio is a lot of people. Um, you know, most millennials, I don't think Pluto went into Sagittarius until the later end of, until the later end of, uh, you know, when like the cutoff is for millennials. It might even be some knowledge and Gen z people even that are also have this. But, um, so like I'm, I'm one of those people, I was born in 96, so I have Pluto in Sagittarius. Um, and I think when you get, so, you know, like I said before, Pluto is a very, you know, weeding out the bullshit to find the truth kind of assigned and you know, getting to the core and the bottom of things. Uh, when you have Sagittarius in that planet, Sagittarius is like the guru or the philosopher or the teacher of the Zodiac. Um, so having Sagittarius there, you know, Sagittarius is also a very, um, truth seeking sign. Uh, you know, like a lot of people who are Sagittarius, who are, sorry, a lot of people who are a Sagittarius might be very brutally honest. And so I think people with Pluto and Sagittarius, you know, we really want honesty and you know, that combined with Sagittarius being a very philosophical sign, um, I think we're much more inclined towards astrology because of that. Because you have the combination of those two things coming together. Um, it's interesting because where I feel like Pluto in Scorpio seeks truth, Sagittarius also seeks truth, but I think deeper than that a Sagittarius also seeks meaning. Um, so I think, you know, on top of like, you know, things being so crazy and chaotic and millennials being stressed out and uncertain about their future, I think we also think a lot about, you know, what is the deeper meaning of life and what is going to give us more purpose and value and what things are going to be more fulfilling. And I think because of that, that's why we turned to things like astrology and why we're so interested in astrology because it gives us a deeper, um, in our sense of meaning and fulfillment out of life, especially when things look so bleak. Um, you know, it's good. It's, I dunno, it's reassuring to have each to know certain things. Um, and I don't know, I think that's largely why millennials are so into astrology. Another thing I wanted to discuss on top of that is because millennials are so into astrology, and they kind of touched on this in the article as well, is that, you know, oh, millennials, they love their memes, which I get it. I love, I love memes as an ex, you know, as much as the next millennium, you know, like, uh, I totally get it. Um, and beams are great. Memes are, you know, they're funny. They're a great way to share an idea or to share information even though like, you know, memes are, they're supposed to be like a joke. Yeah. So I think the main thing is just, um, oh, right. So like add sometimes. Uh, so yeah, I think the other thing that kind of, maybe this is just me, I don't know if any other astrologers at their feet like this. Um, but memes are great. Uh, what Kinda gets me though is I feel like as far as astrology memes go, I think they can be very misleading, um, and untrue to like astrology. Uh, I used, I get it too. I used to really love astrology means there are some good ones out there that are actually funny, um, for people who actually understand astrology. But there's a lot of, um, there's a lot of Zodiac memes out there that are just very, I feel like they just add weight to the idea that astrology is vague and because of that, astrology is fake. Like I saw one earlier that was like never tell an Aries, um, you can't do that because they'll just reply, watch me. And like, you know, people will just slap on very vague and general statements, you know, to these memes and then people see them and they're like, oh, wow, that's so me. I love to prove people wrong. And they just take on this idea. And I feel like that's not what astrology is at all. And I don't think it's very true to the, uh, what's the word? Um, it's not very true to the integrity of astrology. Um, and I think it, it just gives people more reason to say that, oh, that's so vague and astrology's too fake. Um, because people like to make these means with these vague statements out there and you know, if someone doesn't know about astrology, it's very easy for them to be like, oh, that's so me. Or she'd be like, no, that's not me. Um, and I don't know, it kind of, it kind of makes me mad. I've also seen like a lot of like astrology memes on Facebook that are extremely like untrue or fake. And again, I don't mean to be like that person to get all, I don't want to be the person who's like, oh, I just hate all these posers astrologers out here. Because astrology does have that element of fun where it is open to interpretation while also having kind of like, not strict, but kind of strict guidelines. Like there are still rules and structured who astrology. The Fun thing about it is, you know, you can interpret it, interpret a lot of it however you want. Um, which, you know, it may not always be right or true to the situation that you're dealing with, but I do think that is largely part of the fun of astrology. And I think when people, you know, make these vague, generalized statements, it's taking away a lot of that, um, which, you know, I'm not going to tell people what they can and can't do, do whatever you want, but from an astrological standpoint or a, you know, an astrologer standpoint, um, and I know it's just one of the few things that kind of irks me and I, I felt like I should talk about it. Um, you know, maybe I'm not alone. Maybe I'm alone in this. Maybe a lot of people don't resonate with that. Um, you know, if you do or you don't shoot me an email, I'd love to, I'd love to chat about it for sure. Um, but yeah, that's just kind of something that's been on my mind lately. So I figured I had to kind of let it all out here. Also I just want to kind of backtrack a little bit before I move on to the next segment on the show. Uh, going back to what I was saying about Pluto being about transformation, um, and why millennials are so obsessed with, with astrology. Um, so yeah, Pluto is about transformation and I think having Pluto and Sagittarius are even Scorpio, that's going to be all about changing the way people think and perceive things. So when we had, you know, Pluto and Scorpio people were all about, you know, changing the taboo, changing how we view things that are taboo. And having Pluto in Sagittarius is also about changing things in are taboo. Um, but it's changing the way we look at certain things like astrology and you know, mysticism and things of that nature, which is one of the great things about Pluto is, you know, it's it and just all the generational planets because those things are changing the way we look and think about things. And I think it's a very important part of astrology to know and understand. It's also interesting too to see the differences in the, you know, two different Pluto generations. Um, you know, people who are born with Pluto and Scorpio, uh, during the time they born, when Pluto is in Scorpio, they were dealing with a lot of things like, you know, it was sexually transmitted diseases and um, you know, how to combat combat stuff like that. Um, on top of that, people with Pluto in Scorpio, I think they were the generation that kind of started to normalize this idea of people sleeping around and not getting too caught up in not getting too caught up in very close intimate relationships because of the fear of getting hurt. Uh, that was a very large theme sort of surrounding that. And we started to see it on TV and stuff. Um, and then you have, you know, the Pluto in Sagittarius generation where, you know, we kind of grew up with the rise of like things like al Qaeda and we saw, you know, religious dogma. And because of that, people with Pluto in Sagittarius 10 to be, I think we're, you know, a lot less dogmatic and more open to different ideas and concepts, which is another reason why so many of us are probably interested in things like astrology. Um, you know, this, this generation really likes to study and learn and understand new ideas and philosophies and concepts and words. We're taking all of that in, um, and really embracing it. And also, oh, another thing I wrote about this week, this is not really a astrology related, but I can make it astrology related. Um, someone posted a thing. So you know how like there's all those, uh, there's a lot of articles and stuff out right now that are like, yeah, you know, things millennials are killing and you know, like, you know, they say like millennials aren't buying houses because we're buying too much avocados and crazy stuff like that. Um, fun fact. I have a house that I bought and I still the Avocados, um, animal and I'm a millennial, a. Anyways, I'm getting off track. So yeah. Um, so some good news, there are some things out there that millennials aren't killing a one of those things that millennials aren't killing his divorce rates. Um, apparently more millennials are interested in getting married and staying together, which is great. And I think a lot of that is because of going back to what I was saying about the Pluto in Scorpio generation. Um, I think because a lot of people were, you know, afraid of re relationships and getting hurt. Um, mainly because, you know, a lot of people born in that generation, saw their parents get divorced and saw the impact of that and how hurtful it was. And so, thankfully, because of that, more millennials are, you know, wanting to get married and have these partnerships and stay with people for longer periods of time. And, um, yeah, I don't know. I was really happy to see that because it's like finally a win for, for millennials. Um, but I mean, honestly, I think all generations are going to talk shit about each other and pick on each other. Um, regardless of anything. But you know, it, it's nice to see a win for millennials. so yeah, that was my rant about Pluto and the astrology community culture, things that, uh, kind of kind of irk me. Um, so yeah, that was my rant. Um, I'm going to pick up this next segment by kind of continuing off where I left off. Um, in my last episode where I discussed, uh, the sunshine. I'm in the second segment. I'm going to jump to the next plan after that and talk about, uh, your moon sign and what that is. Your moon sign is basically how you handle your emotions. Um, it's kind of like where your sun sign is your conscious side of you, your moon sign is kind of like your subconscious side in a way. It's kind of that thing that's just boiling beneath the surface. It's kind of the things that you, the part of you that you don't let out easily. Um, it's also where you find your emotional fulfillment in wellness and what things make you happy or, um, I kind of think of it this way. The, so the son, not the son. Uh, the moon has a lot to do with the mother and maternal instincts. Um, so your moon sign is a very nurturing thing. It's kind of your security blanket. It's what you think you need when you're upset or happy or trying to find out what's going to make you happy. Um, it is, you know, it's your feelings. It's how you handle your emotions. It's how you viewed your mother. Um, growing up, uh, Alyssa Sharpe on youtube actually has a really great video discussing, you know, your moon sign and your mother. I really enjoyed it. So, uh, yeah, look her up. She's great. Um, so yeah, your moon sign is just, it's, it's how your feelings are expressed. Um, for example, my moon sign is in Capricorn, it's a common thing where they say that people with moon and Capricorn, uh, have very, very boring, dry, monotonous voices that are really hard to listen to, which I was actually a little bit nervous about doing this podcast because of that, because I get worried that, oh, like maybe I have that, that boring Capricorn moon voice. Um, which hopefully, hopefully I don't. Um, but yeah, so for example, like I'm a Capricorn moon and, you know, I, I'm a very sensitive emotional person. I don't always show it. Um, because, you know, Capricorn is a very, it's an earth science with Capricorns, not, not very emotional, like they kind of hold strong and keep calm under pressure and, um, you know, stay focused on their goals. Um, so like I have like a lot of emotions, but I kinda, I kinda bury them a little bit with my moon and Capricorn. I'm on top of that. You know, I have my moon in Capricorn and Capricorns all about hard work and setting new goals and reaching those goals. So, you know, it's funny because I always say, you know, I'm not happy unless I have some project or something to work on. I love to see progress and when I'm not seeing progress, what I'm, when I feel as though I'm making an effort towards something, I get very frustrated. Um, and so that's kind of, you know, work is kind of where I find my emotional fulfillment. Um, and, you know, as far as Leo, how I perceive my mother. Um, it was funny after I first watched that video about Alyssa sharp saying, uh, you know, that your moon sign is how you perceive your mother. Because I thought about that after and I was like, ah, I don't see it. My mom's so not like a Capricorn. I'm, my mom's a cancer by the way, for anyone who's wondering. And I thought about it later and I, I thought about how a Capricorn is all about hard work. And growing up, my mom was always on me to get a job from the time I was like 10 or 11. Um, you know, she was always telling me like, I need to work harder and try harder and do better. She was constantly pushing me to work more. Um, which I think because of that it kind of attribute, it goes along with like my, a Capricorn moon traits of, you know, being kind of a workaholic and being very engrossed in my work because I'm always trying to work harder and you know, do better. And I, you know, I never feel like I'm doing enough, even when I'm doing everything I possibly can. I still don't feel like I'm doing enough and I need to work harder or try harder, do more. Um, another example, so my fiance Blake, he, he has his moon in Taurus. Um, people with mood and tourists, you know, they really love soft things and food, especially good food in like really flavorful food. Um, you know, they find a lot of comfort in listening to music and, you know, they just, there are people that really like to be just comfortable. Um, they don't really like to be uncomfortable. Um, they do like, you know, putting in work, but I will say, I don't think they always like doing physical labor. Um, and they're really good with their money. I've noticed even though they do like to s, you know, maybe splurge here and there and things that they like, um, people with, you know, Moon in Taurus or actually people with a moon in any earth sign, um, really like to just have a lot of financial security, um, because without it they get really uncomfortable. Um, so yeah, and you know, um, you know, it's funny too, I, I wasn't, I always say like, I'm not going to go through all the signs, but I'm kind of thinking maybe I should go through all the signs and do, you know, explain them just the elements so you can get like a general overview without me talking for hours and hours about all the signs. Um, so yeah, I kinda just went over the earth signs. So if you have a mood and an earth sign, which is Capricorn Taurus or, um, Virgo. Wow, that's my sun sign and I forgot that one. Um, so yeah, if you have an earth sign moon, like you really like financial security, you really like to be comfortable. You, you're a hard worker because really all I will say all three of their assigned to very driven and hardworking in their own way. Um, so yeah, so if you're in our sign, like you just really like stability and security and those are the things that make you happy and give you the emotional fulfillment that you want and need. Um, moving on from that, I'll talk about people who have their moon in a water sign. Um, so the water signs or Scorpio, Pisces and cancer. If your moon sign is in either of those signs that you have, your, you're a water moon person. Um, I will say that the water, the water signs tend to be a lot more temperamental. Um, because water is very sensitive. Um, if you're a water sign, you're very sensitive. You tend to take on the emotions of people around you. You can be really empathetic. Um, because you're so emotional. This can be detrimental sometimes because sometimes it can be unhealthy the way you handle and express your feelings. Um, you can, you know, you might even feel psychic in a sense because, because of the fact that the water sensors so sensitive, you're very in touch with your intuition. And so you kind of pick up on, you know, when things aren't right or when things aren't going right and you know, when someone's sad or upset. Um, because of this, you can also be, you know, a very nurturing person, um, because of the fact that, you know, you know, when someone's website, you know how to take care of someone when they're feeling down. Um, personal example of someone with a water moons side, my sister is a Scorpio moon and I've, you know, I've met a lot of other people of Scorpio moons as well, and they are so intense with their emotions. Um, you know, they, they can be really sweet and I've noticed they tend to either really love stuff and they're all giddy about it or they hate something and they just, that's it. It's very black and white. They hate it. Um, and you know, it's funny, my sister is probably one of the most, like, she's very feisty. Um, she, she won't walk away from a fight. Um, she's definitely not someone you would, you want to fight with. Um, she's kind of bad ass, but yeah, it's, people with Scorpio Moon is like you, you don't want to pick a fight with them. They will. And your existence basically. Um, they're the kind of people that will like tear you to shreds if you mess with them. Um, you know, like they, they, they don't like to back down basically. Um, which is sometimes a good thing. Sometimes it's not so good. Um, the next one I want to talk about it as the fire signs. When you have your moon sign in a fire sign, which the fire science, our Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, um, people with a fire, they're going to be more ego driven. The things that are going to make them happy or things are going to be fulfilling to them or things that will make them feel good is going to be related to um, how they present themselves and what people think about themselves. Um, they're also probably a little bit more social and they liked to go out and have fun because you know, having friends and stuff tends to reinforce someone's ego. Those are the kind of things that they're going to gravitate towards that where it could be their work or their status. I'm having a good high status, um, are the things that are going to, you know, make them look and feel good. Um, and they probably really like compliments. Um, so yeah, and I'd say that's pretty much the, the fire moods. They're also very blunt and direct with people and they're not afraid to kind of like go there, um, if they feel it's necessary. Um, the next element I'm going to talk about in the last one is the air signs. Um, so if you have your moon and an air sign, the air signs are Libra, Aquarius and Gemini. Um, these moons are very, they're very quick. Witted they're very intellectual. They like to learn. Um, they're very good with words and communication. Um, I think they tend to, they're like logical to the Earth Center, very logical. And I think the way they handle and process their emotions is through logic. So it almost seems as if they don't have emotions, which, um, they do have emotions, they just kind of handle them differently. They might really like to talk about their emotions with people that they're comfortable with, or maybe they just don't, I think they tend to like over rationalize or over analyze their, their feelings to the point where they're just, you know, they're like, okay, well that's not, it's not logical for me to feel this way, so I'm going to pretend like it's not happening. Um, you know, or they just kind of bury them. Um, it's funny. Heirs, people with air moons are still kind of a mystery to me. I haven't known enough of them to really fully understand them. Um, but that's, that's kind of what have I imagine. They're like, um, which if, you know, like I said earlier, if you disagree or you have better input, like shoot me an email. I'm always looking for people to talk about astrology with, um, hence why I'm doing this podcast by myself, by the way. Um, because I don't have enough friends at like one, a podcast and also like, you know, talk about astrology. But anyways, um, so yeah, those are your elements of all the moons and all those things are gonna vary. You know, depending on the sign, because while they are all connected through similar elements, you know, every site has their own individual traits in placements. Um, I guess this week's blog post is going to be all about, you know, how, what, what, what traits are associated with the signs, you know, when they're, when they're, you know, in your moon. I don't know why that was so hard for me to say. Um, so like last week I posted about the traits of the Sun Times. So basically this week I'm going to post where all the traits of the Zodiac Signs Express through the moon and the moon's signs. Um, so yeah, I'll, I'll link that in the show notes, keep an eye out for it. Um, and yeah, that's, that's your moon sign and yeah, I think, I think that covers just about everything I wanted to talk about in this episode.
