This week: A creative boost from a Mercury-Jupiter sextile, the Sun's entry into Libra at the equinox, and a reflective Sun–Neptune opposition paired with an empowering Sun–Pluto trine. The Aries Full Moon carries forward eclipse themes from spring 2025, and Mars begins a long transit through Leo. And a listener question about what it means when a progressed planet turns retrograde for decades. Plus: Chemistry teachers in jail, lonely in a group, and invisibility as a superpower!

The Sabian symbols are explored through the lens of Breaking Bad's Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, a story of missed and created opportunities. [3:40] Sun enters Libra (Sep. 22, 5:05 pm PDT). The Sun enters Libra, marking the autumn equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern. Libra begins on the Sabian symbol "a butterfly made perfect by a dart through it," and consider the tension between enjoying something beautiful and wanting to possess it. [6:21] Sun opposes Neptune (Sep. 25, 6:36 pm PDT, 2º59' Libra/Aries). The Sun–Neptune opposition on the symbol "the dawn of a new day" explores change, loss, and finding comfort through collective meaning. [9:02] Sun trines Pluto (Sep. 25, 10:34 pm PDT, 3º09' Libra/Aquarius). This short-lived but potent trine promises personal empowerment through getting clear about who you are and what you want as the foundation for authentic relationships. [10:47] Aries Full Moon (Sep. 26, 9:49 am PDT, 3º37' Aries/Libra). The Aries Full Moon on the Sabian symbols "Two lovers strolling through a secluded walk" and “A group around a campfire” carries energy from the March 29, 2025 Aries Solar Eclipse. What were you determined to accomplish then, what has slowed you down, and what have you learned since? [15:02] Void-of-Course Moon periods. Three VOC periods this week: Monday, a VOC Moon in Capricorn from 7:31 am to 10:14 am (get to work), Wednesday in Aquarius from 1:18 am to 8:23 pm (collaborate on solutions), and Saturday in Pisces from 1:32 am to 3:23 am PDT (channel volatile energy into home projects). [19:30] Mars enters Leo (Sep. 27, 7:49 pm PDT) through May 14, 2027. Mars begins an extended transit through Leo (with a retrograde loop into Virgo early next year). Excellent for creative projects, but watch for impulsiveness and self-absorption as Mars approaches its opposition to Pluto. [23:20] Listener Question: Listener Maria asks about her progressed Mercury turning retrograde in Scorpio for the next 21 years. Thoughts about how this can deepen a writer's work, reframe feeling "unseen" as a superpower, and invite revisiting unfinished stories. Got a question?

What if the people we love continue to send us signs after death? Portia shares extraordinary stories of grief, near-death experiences, synchronicity, signs from loved ones, and the miraculous transformation that followed her mother's death.What If Grief Is Not the End of the Story?What if losing someone you love could somehow become the beginning of a profound transformation?In this deeply moving episode, Portia the Producer, a grief awareness advocate, media professional, storyteller, and mental health advocate, shares extraordinary stories about grief, death, signs from loved ones, synchronicity, near-death experiences, family, and spiritual transformation.And then there is the story of what happened when her mother died.Portia was sitting beside her mother during her final moments, witnessing something that few of us ever get the opportunity to see so closely: the transition from life to death. She recorded their final conversation because something inside her told her she would want to remember it.Her mother's final message?“Go for it.”Portia's Extraordinary Story of Her Mother's DeathOne of the most powerful parts of this conversation is Portia's description of being present when her mother took her final breath.She describes watching the room change in the instant her mother's heart stopped and experiencing what she understood as her mother's spirit waving goodbye and blowing her a kiss.Rather than dismissing the experience, Portia allowed herself to remain curious about what it might mean.She had asked her mother for a sign that she was okay.Three days later, a monarch butterfly began circling in Portia's yard.For Portia, it felt like an unmistakable message.And that experience became part of a much larger journey through grief, spirituality, synchronicity, signs from the deceased, and personal transformation.A Near-Death Experience on an Oklahoma HighwayPortia also shares the terrifying story of a near-death experience while driving in Oklahoma.Traveling at approximately 70 miles per hour, the back tire of her rental car suddenly blew out and the back bumper flew off.She managed to get the vehicle safely off the highway.Then, while sitting there shaken and overwhelmed, she looked up.A blue heron was circling above her.Portia experienced the bird as a powerful reassurance: I see you. I got you.A police officer who witnessed what happened told her how much worse the accident could have been.But the story didn't end there. And guess what? You'll just have to listen to hear the rest of the story!What Strong Women Taught Portia About Life!Portia also takes us into the remarkable household in which she was raised.She grew up surrounded by generations of strong women, including her great-grandmother, who was born in 1915.Her great-grandmother didn't have a conventional education by today's standards, but she understood something Portia considers far more important:She understood people.Through watching her great-grandmother interact with others, Portia learned about hospitality, storytelling, business, relationships, and bringing people together.Those lessons ultimately helped shape her entrepreneurial life and her understanding of the power of human connection.But being raised around strong, independent women also came with another lesson: Portia learned that she was supposed to be strong all the time.Eventually, she had to learn something very different.It's okay to ask for help.It's okay to be vulnerable.It's okay to let someone love you and help you. And this, too, is a lesson I have had to learn. It is a hard one, but oh so necessary!Meet Portia the ProducerPortia brings together media, storytelling, grief awareness, mental health advocacy, entrepreneurship, and personal transformation in a career that has taken her through many different chapters.She is also the executive producer and host of Groove with Portia, where she continues to explore stories, people, culture, and the experiences that connect us.But perhaps the most powerful thing Portia brings to this conversation isn't a particular job title.It's her conviction that our experiences can become gifts when we are willing to share them with other people.Her stories remind us to notice the synchronicities.To pay attention to the unexpected.To allow ourselves to receive help.To remain open to mystery.And, perhaps most importantly, to keep going.Because sometimes what looks like the end of one life chapter is actually the beginning of another.And thank goodness for that!Listen to the Full Episode My Friends!If you've ever experienced a strange coincidence after someone died, wondered whether a loved one was sending you a sign, struggled to find meaning after loss, or simply felt that there might be more mystery in this world than we can explain, this conversation with Portia is one you'll want to hear.Listen to Portia's extraordinary stories of grief, synchronicity, near-death experience, signs from loved ones, family, healing, and transformation—and see what happens when you remain open to the possibility that the world is communicating with you.

The world's only going to get even more exciting!If you want to hear more stories like this, stories of connection and love and that liminal space between death and life, you'll want to click on the links below!Diana Divine shares a story of being saved!

Mo lives in Aden, an ancient city in southern Yemen. Built on a volcanic crater, it has castles and beaches set against mountains. It's beautiful. Like the rest of the country, it is also in the midst of an ongoing civil war. This summer, protests broke out over living conditions and basic services in the city -- like electricity, which can be shut off for 18 hours at a time. But despite these conditions, for the last five years, Mo has been fighting for a persistent dream of his –– a video game internet cafe for his neighborhood. This week on Endless Thread Ben and Amory tell the story of how Mo, against all odds, has kept the lights on (quite literally) at his gaming cafe thanks to his persistence, and the help of internet strangers across the world. This content was originally created for audio. An auto-generated transcript is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Heads up that some elements (i.e. music, sound effects, tone) are harder to translate to text.

Welcome to the Old Ozarks with Dr. Brooks Blevins... This week, we're boiling down sap and tuning up the shape notes — from the vanishing rituals of Ozark sugar camps to the banks of Big Sugar Creek, birthplace of one of gospel music's biggest names. We'll start with the sweet, half-forgotten world of sugarin' off time: granny gourds, alder spiles, kittles of boiling sap, and the snow-day treat known as a waxin', plus a tour of the sugar-flavored place names still dotting the map. Then it's on to the long sweetenin', the life of Albert E. Brumley — sharecropper's son turned shape-note prodigy under mentor Eugene Bartlett, Hartford Music Company songwriter, and eventual owner of Powell, Missouri's own gospel publishing empire. We'll trace hits like "Turn Your Radio On" and "Jesus Hold My Hand," and dig into the surprising, decades-long journey of his most famous song of all, "I'll Fly Away" — from a cotton field daydream to one of the most recorded songs in American history, claimed by gospel, country, and just about everybody in between. It's a story of how a little creek in southwestern Missouri became the symbolic heart of Southern gospel music. Let's dive into this episode of The Old Ozarks... What is The Old Ozarks? The Old Ozarks is your gateway to the forgotten history of the Ozarks. Hosted by renowned historian Dr. Brooks Blevins (the leading authority on the region's history), this podcast explores the lives, legends, and landscapes that have shaped this unique region. Whether you're a native Ozarker, a new resident, or a curious listener, join us as we share the stories that make the Ozarks special and connect us to our past.

Restoration of grasslands at a regional scale requires reliable sources of abundant seed material for the hundreds of species of plants which are typically  part of a Southern grassland.  Often,  seeds for certain species are underrepresented in the trade.  Seeds, then, must be gathered from plants in the wild and processed before they can be utilized. Our guest today, Kristin Hopkins,  and  her team are about the business of scouting out wild sources for seeds of native grassland plants so that they can be ethically gathered and processed for use.  They are also working with commercial  growers to broaden the menu of what is available in the trade. https://www.markfraley.com/wp-content/uploads/kristinhopkinsseedswithmusic.mp3 The post Interview with Kristin Hopkins, Native Plant Materials Program Manager, Southeast Grasslands Institute Episode 130 appeared first on Mark Fraley Podcast.

Found a research article that was food for thought on how warmer autumns may be having effects on our bees that aren't so good: creating smaller late-winter clusters by increased wear and tear on the precious winter bees who should not be as active as the temps drive them to be. But also, it goes into novel solutions (well, not novel in Canada but novel in more Southern climes) to help. Do backyard beekeepers have any options to help? I do some thinking aloud about all that and pondering on an unexpected potential benefit of insulation perhaps? Here is the original study if you take those straight-up-no-chaser (looking at you Susan S! ;-) : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-55327-8 For a reader friendly overview that will help you then dive into the research paper: https://news.wsu.edu/press-release/2024/03/25/honey-bees-at-risk-for-colony-collapse-from-longer-warmer-fall-seasons/ Also: for my past episode on Condensing Hives vs Ventilating Hives see Ep 122 *Ep 122: New Insulation Setup and The "Condensing Hive"* A deeper dive into the why and how of the insulation setup I started using several years ago, the condensing-hive concept.

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

Episode Summary Tuna is far more than a familiar item on supermarket shelves or a staple of sushi menus. More than five million metric tons of tuna are caught each year, supporting a global supply chain valued at more than $40 billion and providing food and economic security for millions of people. The fishery is particularly important to small island nations, where tuna-related income can account for a significant share of domestic revenues. But getting tuna from ocean to consumer involves an intricate global network of fishing fleets, processing facilities, exporters, importers and markets. Different tuna species also serve distinct markets, from canned skipjack and albacore to high-value bluefin destined for fresh and premium markets. Because tunas migrate across national boundaries and entire ocean regions, managing them sustainably requires countries to coordinate through regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs). The conversation examines how these organizations make decisions, why consensus can be difficult, and how harvest strategies are changing the approach to fisheries management. The recovery of southern bluefin tuna demonstrates the potential of a long-term, pre-agreed management framework: after the stock had been severely depleted, its biomass quadrupled by 2020, ultimately contributing to its removal from the critically endangered list and the fishery achieving MSC certification. With all tuna RFMOs committed to implementing harvest strategies but only 10 of 23 commercially harvested tuna stocks having adopted them, initiatives such as All Tunas 2028 are focused on accelerating progress while encouraging seafood companies, governments, scientists and other stakeholders to become more engaged in fisheries decision-making. Featured Guests Katy Hladki — Senior Officer, International Fisheries Team — The Pew Charitable Trusts Key Topics Covered The global economic, social and nutritional importance of tuna fisheries The complex journey of tuna from fishing vessels to processing facilities and consumer markets Major commercially harvested tuna species, including skipjack, albacore, yellowfin, bigeye and bluefin How regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) coordinate tuna management across international waters The challenges of reaching consensus among countries and stakeholders with different interests Harvest strategies as a science-based, pre-agreed framework for long-term fisheries management The recovery of southern bluefin tuna and what its management history demonstrates Why only 10 of 23 commercially harvested tuna stocks currently have established harvest strategies The role of seafood companies, retailers, wholesalers and distributors in tuna fisheries advocacy The All Tunas 2028 initiative and its goal of advancing harvest strategies across tuna fisheries The importance of transparent fisheries data, independent vessel monitoring and stronger compliance The potential impacts of climate and environmental change on fisheries management Key Takeaways Tuna is a globally significant resource. More than five million metric tons are harvested annually, supporting a supply chain worth more than $40 billion and contributing to food and economic security around the world. International cooperation is essential. Because tuna are highly migratory and can be harvested by vessels from many different countries, effective management requires coordination through RFMOs. Harvest strategies can provide greater predictability. By establishing management rules and objectives in advance, harvest strategies can reduce uncertainty and help balance long-term sustainability with economic needs. Southern bluefin tuna demonstrates what effective management can accomplish. After severe depletion, the stock's biomass quadrupled by 2020 under a harvest strategy, and the species was subsequently removed from the critically endangered list. Progress is happening, but adoption remains incomplete. All tuna RFMOs have committed to implementing harvest strategies, yet only 10 of 23 commercially harvested tuna stocks had adopted them at the time of the conversation. Seafood businesses have a role beyond purchasing seafood. Retailers, wholesalers, distributors and other companies can engage directly in fisheries policy discussions and advocate for management decisions that protect long-term supply. Better data and monitoring are critical. Transparent fisheries information, independent vessel monitoring and strong compliance systems can improve both management decisions and confidence in their implementation. The future of tuna depends on broad engagement. Governments, fisheries managers, fishers, scientists, seafood companies and consumers all have a role in supporting healthy tuna populations and resilient seafood systems. Links and Resources Mentioned The Pew Charitable Trusts — Research and advocacy related to international fisheries, tuna management and regional fisheries management organizations.

Bob and Monét discuss why Bob doesn't write about romance, whether gossiping is bad for the soul, and whether karma is really coming for Wendy Williams and Perez Hilton. They also ask if they're feminists or womanists, if we're consuming media too quickly, and whether children should aspire to be famous. They discuss making money versus being obsessed with money, whether you need passion to start a business, and whether everyone has dreams for their lives. They also break down whether WALL-E is problematic, rank their favorite animated movies, and debate whether Reese Witherspoon is really Southern.

You might be a Southern hunter if your truck has more hunting gear than groceries, you've ever judged the weather by whether the mosquitoes are flying, or somebody in your hunting camp has a piece of equipment held together with duct tape, baling wire, and pure determination.This week on Under Pressure Outdoors, we're keeping things light and having a little fun with the habits, traditions, questionable decisions, and unwritten rules that make hunting in the South what it is.From deer camps and dog boxes to gas-station breakfasts, opening-day rituals, hand-me-down hunting gear, and those stories that somehow get better every single time they're told, we're talking about the things Southern hunters immediately recognize—even if we don't always want to admit they apply to us.So grab a cold drink, pull up a camp chair, and see how many times you catch yourself saying, “Yep… I've done that.”You might be a Southern hunter if…Deep Roots Rifles USE CODE UPO10 FOR 10% OFF Under Pressure Outdoors underpressureoutdoors Official: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook | Linktree Under Pressure Outdoors Podcast | By Hunters For Hunters | Patreon

Friends, the Clay Aiken came to our attic! This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I had SO much fun sitting down with multi-platinum singer, Clay Aiken, to talk about behind-the-scenes American Idol stories, what it means to show up as your true self, and what's next!We discuss auditioning with 80s theme songs, ADHD, Southern accents, flip phones, and what Clay is like when no one is watching. We also talk about what happens when you reach the stage of empty nesting and start asking, “Okay... now what?” Clay took time to raise his son, Parker, and now he's finding his second act by returning to something he realized he missed... performing. He is about to release his first new album in nearly two decades and y'all, his first single is a BOP. The new album comes out September 25th. And because this is Laugh Lines, I somehow end up teaching Clay about perimenopause.

Episode 256First Air 09-20-26Matt Axton and BadmoonBadmoonGraveyHome Sweet HomeSame Old StoryMatt Axton is a gifted singer/songwriter. Granted, that's a claim made by many artists that inhabit the world of Americana these days, but in Matt's case, it's more than a mere boast. The ability to make music is firmly infused in his genes, courtesy of a family history that implanted that ability in him early on. While he modestly describes his sound as a “humble slice of Americana,” it's clear that it possesses so much more. With a style that encompasses country, folk, roots, rock, R&B, and pure pop proficiency, he defies easy categorization. With a rich reservoir of original tunes — over 300 in fact — and three well received albums (Blue Sky Rain, Matthew C. Axton and Badmoon), he's established himself as a prolific and proficient singer, songwriter and guitarist, both on his own and at the helm of his various ensembles.Even a small sampling of his musical output proves the point. His “Blue Sky Rain” is both stirring and seductive, an easy amble that belies its description of the topsy turvy travails that accompany the entanglements of relationships. “Born of Chains” is flush with steadfast determination, a rugged, relentless bluesy-rocker that conveys clear conviction and a desire to overcome whatever obstacles are tossed in his way. On the other hand, “Everything” is an homage to romance, desire and faithfulness shared with some upbeat bluegrass banter. Here again, Matt demonstrates his remarkable fluidity and a decidedly affable attitude.Notably, he also keeps good company. Matt has recorded original material with Steve Ferrone (drummer for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers) and Hal Cragin (bassist for Iggy Pop), and shared sessions at the legendary East West Studios in Hollywood where Tom Petty recorded much of his work. The songs include: “Last Search”, a Southern rock-style anthem; “Born of Chains,” which shares a sparse and dark singer/songwriter vibe; the Americana style “What a Day”; the soulful strains of “Soul to Sell” and “The Big South”, a blues groove reminiscent ZZ Top.He has collaborated on projects such as “Abbey Road Reimaged – A Tribute to the Beatles” where Aaron Badgley of Spill Magazine called Axton's cover of ‘Octopus' Garden' “pure genius.”“Matt's powerful songwriting and vocals, along with his natural rapport with the audience, was the highlight of the 4th of July celebration where we hired him to play for the 3,500 people at Donner Lake,” said Ben Martin, executive director of the Tahoe Truckee School of Music and Tahoe Music Professionals booking service.

Episode 301 of Verse Chorus Verse — Evil's second 10 out of 10, and the companion piece to last week's Clutch Blast Tyrant deep dive.Corrosion of Conformity's Wise Blood (1996) is the Grammy-nominated follow-up to Deliverance, with James Hetfield singing background vocals on Man or Ash — not because Pepper Keenan asked nicely, but because Hetfield wanted to be on it. That's the kind of peer respect COC had at their peak.The central debate: is this better than Deliverance? Evil flip-flopped the entire prep week — whichever album he was listening to was the better one — and landed on 10/10 for both. DL gives it a 9/10 and keeps going back to Deliverance, but calls Drowning in a Daydream (the Grammy-nominated track) a 12-out-of-10 song.Deep dives into: Pepper Keenan's arc from opening for Metallica in 1996 to being the gravitational center of a whole Southern metal scene (COC, Down, NOLA), the Woody/Pepper guitar tone pairing — SGs into Mesa Boogies, one panned center and one on the perimeter — Long Whip Big America as Evil's surprise #1 pick, the Alice in Chains DNA in Bottom Feeder, and why Pepper's vocal delivery is what separates this from everything else in the genre.Listener question: Deliverance or Wise Blood — which one wins?Next up: the Radiohead series finale.

After an eternity spent wandering the burning caverns of Hell, a nameless Southern soul is offered something almost unimaginable: a promotion. His new handler calls him Country and promises him water, shelter, and occasional passage back into the world of the living. All Country must do is enter the body of a girl believed to be possessed, follow the instructions transmitted through a strange insect-like device, and obey the rules governing Hell's ancient contest with Heaven. Unfortunately, Country has received no training, understands almost nothing about his assignment, and has no intention of returning to the caverns. When his first mission places him inside a dark toolshed with three armed men closing in, desperation turns a carefully controlled operation into a nightmare of confusion, violence, and infernal consequences.Blending black comedy, supernatural terror, and uncompromising brutality, Drew Stepek's “A Little Bit Country” takes listeners into a vision of Hell where damnation has departments, suffering comes with paperwork, and every opportunity may be another form of punishment.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

“COVID made me a rapper” ~ H3adband Baton Rouge artist H3adband joins Lalaa Shepard of The Progress Report for a new episode of Skipping Class to discuss his journey from playing basketball in college to becoming a full-time recording artist. During the conversation, H3adband explains how attending college during the COVID-19 pandemic unexpectedly pushed him toward music, even admitting that “COVID made me a rapper.” He reflects on releasing his debut project Landlord in 2022 after encouragement from his friends and breaks down the journey behind his breakout record “BOO.” H3adband also opens up about what life looked like after “BOO” took off, including protecting his mental health, taking care of his team, and adjusting to the responsibilities that come with having a successful record. He addresses the possibility of NBA YoungBoy appearing on a “BOO” remix and shares his thoughts on comparisons between himself, NBA YoungBoy, and other Louisiana artists. The Baton Rouge native also speaks about representing Louisiana's unique sound, his experiences around Boosie, his thoughts on a Cash Money versus No Limit Verzuz, and getting game from Southern legends such as Kevin Gates and Boosie. H3adband reflects on being nominated for the XXL Freshman list but ultimately not making the final cut, explaining why the experience motivated him rather than discouraged him. He also discusses his new project BandBoy, why he chose to release the project without any features, and what he wants new listeners to understand about him as an artist.

Matt Slayer sits down with Blake Lovely for a wildly unfiltered round of frosty margaritas, industry talk, and the kind of conversational detours that define And Now We Drink. What starts with nerd banter about lasers, Lord of the Rings, and questionable childhood movie obsessions quickly spirals into a candid, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful deep dive into life in adult entertainment, social media chaos, and surviving the internet's worst impulses. Blake opens up about her path from music into the industry, how the work helped her build stability and invest in therapy, and why she refuses to join the chorus of performers who dismiss the industry after benefiting from it. She and Matt dig into the realities behind  sets, the difference between followers and true fans, the pressure to go viral, and the increasingly hostile landscape for workers on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and beyond. The conversation also takes on AI models, likeness rights, censorship, anti-trans harassment, trans representation in media, Southern roots, age-gap relationships, studio awards, directing ambitious features, and why hate comments often say more about the commenter than the target. Blake shares stories from sets, parties, music sessions, and her rise as both a performer and director, including her award-winning feature Once Upon a TS Summer and hints at an even bigger project on the horizon. Equal parts raunchy, political, personal, and hilarious, this episode is a candid snapshot of Blake Lovely's confidence, resilience, and sharp wit—served with tequila, tangents, and zero apologies.

Legends tell of the final round of a combination beauty pageant/spelling bee that ceased to resemble any known human contest, but had instead become a brutal reckoning of song, dance, and cutthroat orthography. It unfolded beneath the brass chandeliers of a Holiday Inn in suburban Alabama, where the faded ballroom carpet bore mute witness to Trixie and Katya performing desperate pirouettes to stale 80s power ballads and sheepishly spelling words like "prestidigitation" while shooting glares as sharp as daggers across the stage at each other like silent declarations of mascara-drenched animosity. Outside, the interstate burned beneath the humid Southern night; inside, these two sequined titans stood at the very edge of destiny. For one impossible hour, somewhere between a broken ice machine and the complimentary continental breakfast buffet, the fate of beauty, class, and poise itself was decided by the gods of synthetic-bejeweled tiaras.

After an eternity spent wandering the burning caverns of Hell, a nameless Southern soul is offered something almost unimaginable: a promotion. His new handler calls him Country and promises him water, shelter, and occasional passage back into the world of the living. All Country must do is enter the body of a girl believed to be possessed, follow the instructions transmitted through a strange insect-like device, and obey the rules governing Hell's ancient contest with Heaven. Unfortunately, Country has received no training, understands almost nothing about his assignment, and has no intention of returning to the caverns. When his first mission places him inside a dark toolshed with three armed men closing in, desperation turns a carefully controlled operation into a nightmare of confusion, violence, and infernal consequences.Blending black comedy, supernatural terror, and uncompromising brutality, Drew Stepek's “A Little Bit Country” takes listeners into a vision of Hell where damnation has departments, suffering comes with paperwork, and every opportunity may be another form of punishment.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

Karen Fairchild was born to Southern parents in Gary, Indiana, but whether she was living in the Midwest or the South, that Southern influence was always there. She eventually made her way to Birmingham, Alabama, where she attended Samford University and met her future bandmate, Kimberly Schlapman, through the school's choir program. In the late '90s, she was reunited with Schlapman in Nashville and went on to form Little Big Town with Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook, whom she later married. Their self-titled debut came out in 2002, but their real breakthrough came with The Road to Here in 2005. Now, Karen and Little Big Town have just released their 12th studio album, It's a Dying Art, which features collaborations with Ashley Monroe, Jason Isbell, and Kelsea Ballerini. Sid talks to Karen about what's kept the band going strong all these years, how she balances life on the road with raising school age kids, and how Little Big Town has been influenced by Fleetwood Mac.

In this updated and remastered Southern Mysteries Classic, we revisit the strange disappearance of Connie Franklin and the mystery of the man who returned from the dead. In 1929, five men in Stone County, Arkansas, were charged with the murder of Franklin, a drifter who had vanished from the Ozarks. A teenage girl said he had been brutally attacked and his body burned in the woods, and investigators believed they had found his charred remains. Then, just days before the murder trial began, a man appeared claiming to be Connie Franklin. The bizarre case drew reporters from across the country and became known as the Arkansas Ghost Trial.

CAPTION 1867 PLANTATION IMAGESHistorical Myths Shape America's Divided IdentityDavid S. Reynolds, author of Two Ships: Jamestown 1619, Plymouth 1620, and the Struggle for the Soul of America, Part Two: Reynolds analyzes the historical and cultural myths shaping America's division. Pre-war, romanticized Southern fiction revived a Cavalier identity defending slavery, while Northern abolitionists drew on Puritan ideals. Though many used a two-ships metaphor—contrasting Jamestown's hierarchy with Plymouth's democracy—Abraham Lincolnrejected division, fighting for one nation founded on equality. After the war, Edward Pollard's book romanticized the plantation South as the Lost Cause, a myth later popularized by Hollywood. Reynolds also notes positive legacies, like Rhode Island Quaker abolitionist Moses Brown and early suffragists. (5)

CAPTION 1926 HUNTINGDON BEACH,  CALIFORNIACONTENTS OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-4-2026.California Waves, Wildfires, and Financial DefaultsJeff Bliss reports on various events across California. Hurricane Marie has generated spectacular and dangerous waves at the Wedge in Newport Beach, drawing crowds but causing major beach erosion. Meanwhile, Monterey Countybattles the uncontained Timber and Placet wildfires in steep, inaccessible terrain. Infrastructure issues persist in Los Angeles, where temporary fixes address frequent water main breaks. A meat storage fire has left an odor and vermin, angering residents as waste is relocated. Lastly, Hollywood faces financial trouble, highlighted by Deutsche Bank's troubled loans and studios leaving California for cheaper, less-regulated states. (1)Voting Rules and Birthright Citizenship BattlesRichard Epstein discusses constitutional legal battles surrounding mail-in voting and birthright citizenship. On mail-in voting, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow postal restrictions preserving custody. Epstein believes the court will support this neutral federal regulation. On birthright citizenship, a Maryland judge blocked an executive order narrowing citizenship eligibility, calling it unconstitutional. Epstein critiques her historical reasoning but acknowledges the Chief Justice shares her view. He explores complexities including diplomatic immunity, territorial status, and whether the government can restrict pregnant foreign nationals from entry to prevent birthright citizenship tourism. (2)Canada and United States Trade NegotiationsConrad Black analyzes trade tensions between Canada and the United States, hoping cooler heads will prevail to avoid a trade war. Canada relies heavily on American trade, as US politicians face pressure from tight border state elections in Michigan and Ohio. Black outlines three major unresolved issues: Canadian content disputes in auto and truck manufacturing, Canadian trade deals with China, and American objections to French language packaging. Black urges a spirit of mutual compromise rather than table-pounding, emphasizing that both friendly nations ultimately stand to benefit from a swift resolution. (3)Lancaster County Economic Trends: Labor Day, Inflation, and Local RealitiesJim McTague and host John Batchelor discuss the economic landscape of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, ahead of Labor Day. Despite strong national jobs data—the US economy beat expectations by adding 162,000 jobs in August, prompting Wall Street to anticipate a Federal Reserve interest rate hike of a quarter point—rising Costco gasoline prices reveal the immediate pressure of inflation on local residents, surging to $4.03 per gallon from $3.93 a week prior and triggering long lines reminiscent of the 1970s fuel shortage. Meanwhile, local tourism remains strong and steady despite a highly rainy year that has occasionally caused uneven day-to-day retail activity, and the 100-year-old Charles family farm stand in East Petersburg boasts a thriving season, drawing polite crowds for exceptionally sweet corn and tomatoes despite excessive precipitation. Finally, McTague debunks false claims about the nearby industrial park's data center being noisy, noting it is actually quieter than typical lawnmowers or birds, with zero negative impact on adjacent property values or lifestyle. (4)Deterrence Essential Amid Treaty Oversight CrisesPeter Huessy discusses the modern challenges of nuclear deterrence and arms control treaties involving the United States, Russia, and China. A three-party treaty limiting overall warhead numbers is highly unlikely due to competing strategic interests. Banning specific destabilizing technologies, like multiple-warhead ICBMs or space-based weapons, is much more feasible. Huessy highlights Russia's persistent objectives of using nuclear blackmail to weaken NATO and dismantle American missile defense systems. China's absolute lack of transparency and Russia's evasion of inspections since 2020 require the United States to prioritize robust, active nuclear modernization to maintain deterrence. (5)Historical Myths Shape America's Divided IdentityDavid S. Reynolds, author of Two Ships: Jamestown 1619, Plymouth 1620, and the Struggle for the Soul of America, Part Two: Reynolds analyzes the historical and cultural myths shaping America's division. Pre-war, romanticized Southern fiction revived a Cavalier identity defending slavery, while Northern abolitionists drew on Puritan ideals. Though many used a two-ships metaphor—contrasting Jamestown's hierarchy with Plymouth's democracy—Abraham Lincolnrejected division, fighting for one nation founded on equality. After the war, Edward Pollard's book romanticized the plantation South as the Lost Cause, a myth later popularized by Hollywood. Reynolds also notes positive legacies, like Rhode Island Quaker abolitionist Moses Brown and early suffragists. (6)Oversight Loopholes in Saudi Nuclear DealHenry Sokolski outlines concerns regarding the unclassified but heavily redacted Saudi Arabian nuclear agreement. Government documents printed on September first reveal provisions for uranium enrichment up to twenty percent on Saudi territory. Crucially, the agreement limits atomic inspections to declared sites, presenting a loophole for covert parallel operations. Sokolski also addresses Iran's war crime accusations against the United States following a fatal off-target missile strike near the Strait of Hormuz. He attributes such tragic military targeting errors to outdated intelligence and the misuse of artificial intelligence to accelerate high-stakes decision-making in active war zones. (7)Spaceflight Ventures and Saturn's Ten-Sided RingsBob Zimmerman covers several developments in aerospace, astronomy, and planetary science. SpaceX secured an exchange deal with Brownsville for a shipping port, while Blue Origin won a Mars communication satellite relay contract. Meanwhile, SpaceX's Dragon capsule leaked, and Sierra Space remains un-flown after a decade. In astronomy, NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan named its landing site, and scientists using Hubble discovered a unique ten-sided cloud ring around Saturn's south pole. Finally, Ukraine's drone strikes on Russian rocket factories and Russia's failing satellite constellation highlight ongoing military conflicts in orbit. (8)

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Some houses whisper history. The Allen House sings it—through walls, letters, and restless ghosts.When author Mark Spencer and his family moved into the grand, century-old Allen House in Monticello, Arkansas, they knew they were buying a piece of Southern history. What they didn't know was that one of its former residents, society belle Ladell Allen, had never truly moved out. From the moment they unpacked, things felt… crowded. Lights flickered, shadows stretched where they shouldn't, and unseen footsteps echoed across the floors at night.But the true turning point came when Mark discovered a stash of hidden love letters tucked beneath the attic floorboards. The words inside unveiled a secret, tragic romance that had ended with Ladell taking her own life in that very home. Her grief lingered—her presence undeniable. What began as curiosity became a journey through heartbreak, hauntings, and a love story that refused to fade.This isn't just a ghost story—it's an intimate encounter with history, passion, and the echoes of the human soul. Because in the Allen House, love never really dies… it just waits.#RealGhostStories #TheGraveTalks #AllenHouse #HauntedArkansas #LadellAllen #LoveBeyondDeath #ParanormalEncounter #HistoricHaunting #GhostStory #TrueHauntingLove real ghost stories?
