The full moon in Taurus is going to kick up big emotions, as all full moons do, but that's not the only thing to be on the lookout for this week! There are both challenges and supportive aspects to Venus and Mars, summoning you to show up in ways that reflect your values instead of just your defenses.
In this special episode of Ghost, Jessica shares two posts from her Patreon, exploring the very sensitive topic of what happens when you die from her perspective as a Medium.
The astrology of October 26th through November 1st brings challenges that are worth facing — a Mercury opposition to Uranus as well as a Venus opposition to Chiron are meant to confront you with what you really think and the value that your convictions have. Make sure to tap into the several supportive, expansive, and grounding transits from Mercury and Mars to support you throughout it all.
As the world swiftly changes, it can be difficult to reorient in parental relationships, especially when worldviews wildly diverge. A listener wants to repair her relationship with her father, who is dying, but she isn't sure that time will allow for it. How to let go and love deeply at the same time?
The New Moon in Libra will bring with it opportunities for major healing, but it will also trigger major feelings. The astrology of this week stays intense with Jupiter and Chiron forming a square after Mercury and Mars meet up in very intense Scorpio. By the week's end, the Sun and Pluto clash, and it's a real recipe for intensity and drama—if you're not careful. Per usual, Jessica gives her practical advice for coping with it all.
Yoni and her partner have a non-monogamous agreement, but historically Yoni is the only one who has acted on it. Now her partner is getting in on the action, and it's triggering challenging emotions and behaviors in Yoni. She wants to do better by their relationship, and Jessica helps her investigate the workings of her heart.
Jessica unpacks the ongoing Saturn conjunction to Neptune and its effects both personally and collectively. This week's horoscope will kick up major identity crises and boundary issues, starting with a Venus opposition to Neptune and ending with a Sun opposition to Chiron. Aligning with your values and showing up is the best medicine for this week.

Welcome to the Social-Engineer Podcast: The Doctor Is In Series – where we will discuss understandings and developments in the field of psychology. In today's episode, Chris and Dr. Abbie explore the intriguing phenomena of dreams, the placebo effect, and déjà vu. They delve into the mysteries of why dreams can feel more emotionally intense than reality, how belief can trigger real physiological changes, and the perplexing sensation of déjà vu that leaves us questioning our memories. Through engaging discussions, they uncover what science knows and the many questions that remain unanswered about these fascinating topics.
