Hola New Paradigmers!It's hard to step back and go into me.But that's exactly what I must do.For as I let go of my old ways and means,I will emerge brand spankin' new!☉Ever feel like hibernating?  Well, now is a good time!  With retrograde Mercury conjunct the north node and Mars in Pisces, the sword of the masculine is seeking to penetrate the inner, spiritual world.  There is a lot going on for all of us right now and it is easy to slip into future tripping and reliving past events of our lives.  While a certain amount of processing is healing for the psyche, if you find yourself lost in the past or future try pulling yourself back into the now.In many ways, the only thing we can control is our thoughts, and the more awareness we have, the more we can invite our higher, soul consciousness to step in and not only accept, but be grateful for, all that life has given (and will continue to give) us.  A disciplined spiritual practice of quieting the mind will result in building an ever stronger sense of authority, control, and sovereignty.  We can only be true to ourselves when we are single minded and clear about our objectives, gifts, beauty and greatness!Pisces always calls us home to the Divine.  It offers us a more permanent sense of belonging, security, and love as we reconnect to the innocent, spiritual spark that brought us here in the first place.  This wound being worked on by Chiron conjunct Eris in Aries has been going on for years and will continue through the rest of this year, is also bringing up our fears of inadequacy, undeservedness, and lack.  It can be helpful sometimes to just say "So what? I'm a work in progress!"  Taking it easy on ourselves (and others), slowing down and accepting our "imperfections," knowing that each day offers us another opportunity to grow, expand, and love again, can really lighten the burden of trying to figure it all out, fix it, and "make things right."This is the gift of Pisces, where the Sun and Mars will be for just a little while and Mercury and the north node will be even longer.  The south node in Virgo says it's time to let go of some of that self criticism, perfectionism, and detail, so as to fully open ourselves to faith, hope, and love again.  We don't have to know everything as much as trust the flow of life to carry us downstream to our mother, the ocean and strengthen our faith in divine intervention when it comes to making decisions and taking actions.  So just "Walk On," or "Keep on Truckin'!"Grateful Dead!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSur0mFviT0So Much Love,Kaypacha

How have two weekends of the NASCAR season already passed us by? It feels like time is flying at the speed of sound, and that's why this power-packed 30 minutes has the very best from Dirty Mo Media's week of shows following the race in Atlanta — so you can catch up on all the action. Dale Jr. kicks us off with a conversation surrounding the storm that blew through Atlanta, known as Hurricane Hocevar. He and TJ discuss what payback looks like and Hocevar's role in the sport, which is much more important than you might think. Next up, Dario Franchitti was supposed to join us in the Arby's studio, but the snow up north forced him to call in; however, the distance didn't keep this episode from being an instant classic. We pick up with him here about his friendship with Jimmie Johnson, and how his Truck ride with Tricon for St. Petersburg came together. Get the bathtubs ready, Blaney fans, Ryan dropped in to Door Bumper Clear, where we learned about his pet llama's daring escape and the unconventional ways he's taking care of that sweet 'stache he's sporting. Remember that Hocevar guy we talked about earlier? Well, he and Jeff Gluck talk about the waves he's making in the Cup Series in one of our newest shows, The Gluckcast, dropping every Thursday on the Teardown's podcast feeds. You'll want to hear how he feels about his driving style, sending apology texts, and how he feels about his nickname. That's all we have for you this time! We'll see you next week for another turbocharged episode.  Real fans wear Dirty Mo. Hit the link and join the crew.
