This week, the Virgo Full Moon has its ups and downs and reveals the hard work required to reach our New Moon goals. Venus makes a sexy conjunction with Mars (look for unusual romantic possibilities) and gets a little carried away as it squares Jupiter. Lean into your intuition as Mercury enters “blurry around the edges” Pisces. And a listener question about planets in the signs of their fall – should you be terrifiiiied™? Plus: Eggshells, seeing spirits, and going tête-à-tête with your inspiration. Read a full transcript of this episode. Have a question you'd like answered on the show? Email April or leave it here!

Timestamps [1:12] Venus conjoins Mars (Feb. 21, 11:14 pm PST) at 06º57' Aquarius, on Sabian symbol 7 Aquarius, Child born of an eggshell. This begins a new Venus-Mars cycle through Jan. 7, 2026. Effective for pursuing money and amorous escapades! [3:02] Mercury enters Pisces, the sign of its fall (Feb. 22, 11:29 pm PST, through March 9, 2024). Effective for perceiving things not evident to our other senses. Organize tools or categorize ideas for future artistic projects. [5:29] Moon Report! The Virgo Full Moon (Feb. 24, 4:30 am PST) is at 05°23' Virgo, opposed the Sun and Saturn and trine Jupiter. The Sabian symbol for this Full Moon is 6 Virgo, A merry-go-round. The Sabian symbol for the Sun is 6 Pisces, Officers on dress parade. Be of service to others but implement appropriate boundaries. [7:40] This is the Full Moon in a Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC) that began at a New Moon at 4º Virgo on Aug. 27, 2022 on the Sabian symbol, A man dreaming of fairies. The First Quarter in this LPFC was on May 27, 2023, and the Last Quarter is coming on Nov. 22, 2024. [8:44] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon Periods. On Feb. 20, the Moon in Cancer trines Neptune (10:38 pm PST). It's VOC for just about seven hours before it enters Leo on Feb. 21 (5:40 am PST). Create new habits around food or family time. [9:42] On Feb. 22nd, the Moon in Leo squares Uranus (8:18 pm PST). This is an extraordinarily long VOC period, lasting about 21 ½ hours (!!!) before it enters Virgo (Feb. 23, 5:37 pm PST). Break habits around inflexibility and pride while cultivating new habits of being more accepting of change. [10:46] On Feb. 25 (11:35 pm PST) the Moon in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces and is VOC for almost 7 hours before entering Libra on Feb. 26 (6:29 am PST). Seek balance between logic and intuition, order and disorder, physical health and spiritual well-being. [12:11] Venus squares Jupiter (Feb. 24, 8:01 pm PST) at 10º30' Aquarius-Taurus. Venus's Sabian symbol is 11 Aquarius, A man tête-à-tête with his inspiration, and Jupiter's is 11 Taurus, A woman sprinkling flowers. Wonderful things can come out of this aspect as long as some restraint is used, and we remember to nurture what we take on. [14:15] Listener Emme asks: Should you be terrified™ of planets in the sign of their fall? Check out Mel LaFara and April's treatment of the essential dignities of planets in Ep. 139.

Magic Carpet Life - Episode 3: Taking off the Mask with Beauty Shaman, Suzanne Blons by Tiffany Josephs
Magic Carpet Life - Episode 2: Dancing on the White House Lawn & the Courage to Be Myself by Tiffany Josephs
The night I met Tiffany, I first saw her across a crowded room. She was wearing this smokin' hot red dress and had this beautiful mane of hair and red lips. She got up to lead the group in a meditation around the senses, and, well, you can just picture me sitting in the audience, wide eyed, jaw hanging slightly open, like ahhhh yeah, "I want what she's having!" In that pursuit, I learned that Tiffany can command a room with that kind of magnetism because of the work of her soul, the work of bringing the magic of the soul realm into her daily life. That idea might seem abstract or even unreal if you've never been exposed to it before - I know it did for me - but that's why I love this interview so much. It eases you in and has the potential to blow your heart wide open. This interview is deep. It's powerful. It's inviting you to go beneath the surface of your life, to go within, and to begin a process that isn't always easy, but is certain to be filled with expansion and possibility… and magic. Tiffany was one of the first people to inspire me to discover something greater and deeper within myself and to bring more magic into my life. It is my sincere hope that this interview brings a little bit of that magic to you. Listen in as Tiffany and I go deep on… + That moment when you realize your life has to change; you just can't keep going the same way, and how we can begin to change and to take that journey into ourselves + How we can bring the magic of the soul realm into the reality of our daily lives and the strength and joy we can access if we do + Scouring the wisdom of your own soul vs looking outside of yourself for the prescription or the right way to do it + Exploring the masculine and feminine energies that are within all of us and how we can shift the balance of those energies to show up more fully and effectively in our lives + A simple practice you can use when you find yourself feeling behind, comparing yourself to others, and wondering, "Why am I not there yet? And loads, loads more!
