00:00
Hi, it's Dayna, and I'm here with your divination for the new moon in Sidereal Taurus. The 2025 Sidereal Astrology Guide says, Planting Seeds of Shared Affection.
00:31
Okay, so this is different. I have a very vivid memory of writing this particular interpretation of the new moon in the guide. Like, I remember seeing this because the way that the planetary cycles work, it's pretty rare, one, that we get two Taurus new moons in one year. And it's also rare that we get...
01:01
a Taurus new moon while Venus is in cancer. That really can only happen when we're in a year where Venus is going to retrograde in the fall. So we've kind of got a perfect storm of two unique and rare astrological phenomenon occurring at once.
01:28
it would have had to be 2018.
01:34
where we had a new moon in Taurus with Venus and Cancer, if, you know, there were one in recent memory, because that's the same year that Venus retrograded in the same cycle that it's gonna retrograde here. So anyways, so I've been talking about Taurus a lot, and this will not be the last podcast episode this year where I talk about Taurus. However...
02:04
In the next podcast episode, I will be talking about mutable signs. And I'll be happy to move on to another topic, and I'm sure that you will be too. It had to be...
02:16
Episode 24?
02:22
of the podcast where we had the first new moon in Taurus. And there's a clip that I've been sharing on threads repeatedly where I talk about how sidereal Taurus transits correlate to the entrenchment and reinforce... meant reinforcing of the status quo. And as we've been approaching this new moon in Taurus part two, there has been a lot of that.
02:52
going on. Carmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the incident of this young white man's death.
03:10
Carmelo Anthony pleaded self-defense. But as we've been experiencing for the entirety of this country's history, when black people feel like their life is being threatened, they're supposed to lay down, take it, and die.
03:33
They're not allowed to fight back. They're not allowed to retaliate. They just have to take the death that's being dealt to them.
03:46
Maybe we should talk about the fact that ICE is still terrorizing Minnesota.
03:53
Or we can talk about the continued violence and economic oppression of Cuba. Maybe we can talk about the fact that Israel is still bombing Lebanon and Iran.
04:10
These are all the status quo.
04:14
It is painful to experience and witness for all of us, but the point of this podcast and the point of divination for liberation is the liberation part. My hope and my dream that maybe won't be realized until after I'm dead and somebody comes back and finds all of the dozens of editions of the Sidereal Astrology Guide, or they come back and listen to episodes of these podcasts.
04:44
or maybe they see the archive of all of my posts and predictions on Twitter and Instagram, YouTube, TikTok.
04:55
The point is that with consistency,
05:00
and predictability when there are transits through sidereal Taurus, imperialism and the imperialist who execute it, capitalism and the capitalist who execute it, patriarchy, white supremacy, misogyny, misogynoir, transphobia, homophobia. This is the status quo.
05:30
And it's reinforced, whether it's with Carmelo Anthony being on the receiving end of the same fate that black men have been on the receiving end of for centuries.
05:48
I mean, it makes me think of Rodney King getting beat to a pulp by police and don't fight back.
06:01
How does a people survive when saving your own life is perceived as a threat?
06:21
Planting seeds of shared affection is asking us, who do you allow to affect you?
06:34
Who's Joy?
06:37
Do you permit to influence you?
06:43
Whose death makes you grieve?
06:48
whose fear alerts your nervous system that maybe there's a threat on the loose.
07:00
Who do you let affect you? Whether or not you are aware, whether it is intentional or not.
07:12
You are being affected. You are experiencing being emotionally influenced every single day in ways you notice and ways you don't.
07:30
On social media, you're scrolling and you're riding the wave of algorithm-programmed emotional manipulation.
07:44
your Instagram feed, your For You page on TikTok, your For You page on threads or Twitter.
07:55
It is algorithmically programmed to affect you emotionally.
08:05
When we were at the Scorpio full moon a couple of weeks ago, we were focused on protecting ourselves from that manipulation, from that influence.
08:19
we were understanding the power and necessity of emotional boundaries.
08:26
talked about how to honor the truth of your body and the role that isolation, solitude, and silence plays in protecting the integrity of your emotional boundaries.
08:41
But we can't be isolated forever, because we need each other.
08:46
And so as we're planting seeds of shared affection, this question of who affects you.
08:55
New moons are offering opportunities for us to direct our attention. And the divination is providing context for us to interpret what we see when we shift our focus. It's saying you are being affected all the time. Physical proximity to people you are in community with, that you live with.
09:24
that you're in relationship with, their nervous system and their neurons are being mirrored in your nervous system and your neurons, right? It's happening all of the time.
09:44
And so with this awareness that it's happening, the divination is saying, who are you sharing affection with? Unintentionally and intentionally.
09:59
Affection is a word that was meant to be interpreted more than one way when I wrote it. So far, in how I've been talking about this new moon, I've been using the word affection more closely to the idea of being affected, being moved, being touched, being inspired.
10:25
being activated emotionally, having your feelings activated.
10:33
But affection also means mutual care and attention.
10:40
It means to be the object of someone's desire, the object of someone's care, their cuddle, their caress, their positive regard.
10:57
Part of the interpretation of this new moon is coming from the fact that Venus is in sidereal cancer. I'ma just let y'all know. Going forward, I'ma be talking about cancer on every episode of this podcast.
11:13
Venus is there now. We are on the other side of Venus and Jupiter's conjunction in cancer. And so, if you don't follow me on Instagram, I will forgive you this one time. And I'm gonna drop the link to the live I did earlier this week on Venus and Jupiter conjoining in cancer. And I went live to debunk some myths.
11:44
Often I arrive at these moments where my frustration, my longing for justice, equity, atonement, change, reparation, it kind of gets my pressure a little high.
12:09
Because if Venus conjunct Jupiter, it's full of all of the blessings.
12:17
and expansion and abundance.
12:22
that we are told it's supposed to be.
12:27
And why is that young boy Carmelo Anthony?
12:34
on the receiving end of contraction, injustice, state violence, white supremacy.
12:45
That don't sound like Venus Jupiter to me. And the collective stories and occurrences that are captivating our attention as a society should be a reflection of what's going on in the sky.
13:08
I'm not gonna lie, I'm kind of feeling away in this moment. These days I try to avoid reading too much.
13:21
of the details of the way that white violence and domination continues to oppress and kill, imprison and enslave, not just my people, but all of us, quite frankly. Because it's happening whether or not I pay attention to it, and my work remains the work, and I still gotta eat, and I still gotta survive.
13:51
But planting seeds of shared affection is the point. It's to not dissociate, to not ignore, to not disregard, to not turn your head the other way, but to allow yourself to be affected.
14:08
and to make sure that you are using this moment to pay attention to patterns in your life.
14:20
around who had the power to affect and emotionally influence, and who just had to be on the receiving end. One of the things that I noticed quite frequently in people's birth charts who have an abundance of water, cancer placements, Scorpio Pisces, is that they grew up in environments that were very emotionally responsive or reactive. And these dynamics manifest in this way that...
14:49
Someone's feelings, needs, emotions, their distress are much bigger, much louder, more powerful and stronger than everybody else in the house. And so everybody else in the house ends up swimming in the emotional waters of that person.
15:10
These are not just dynamics that we experience at home when we have the malignant narcissist father or the covert narcissist mother, the addict, the chronically ill parent or relative, right? These are all ways that the emotional currency of our families and upbringings gets rationed and...
15:40
Spread out.
15:44
Whose emotions, whose needs were primary and dominant in your home? Whose anger was everyone tiptoeing around? Whose sadness or grief was everyone trying not to trigger?
16:00
These dynamics are replicated in the collective.
16:08
If you're alive in any part of the world that has been touched by European colonization,
16:16
your society and your culture.
16:22
is programmed to avoid setting off white rage and violence by any means necessary.
16:35
Everyone all over the world has been tiptoeing around Trump, who happens to have Venus and Saturn in sidereal cancer.
16:49
We want to avoid making him angry. We want to make him smile and laugh. We want him to not perceive us as a threat.
17:00
So the emotions and needs of this one person is controlling the entire world. We're all swimming in the emotional waters of Donald Trump's nervous system.
17:21
In smaller dynamics.
17:24
Often in men's relationships with men and women's relationships with men's and interactions, we're trying to avoid setting off the fragile emotional ego of men so that we won't be on the receiving end of violence.
17:50
whether that's men being violent towards men, men being violent towards women. Yeah, there are some children right now who are trying to avoid setting off their mothers, because they don't want her to go hide in her room and drink. So these are all of the ways that we are conditioned by collective and familial lived experience to...
18:18
Abandon ourselves emotionally.
18:22
and to be more attuned and tapped into the needs and the emotions of the people who have more power than us, who are controlling whether we live or die, who are controlling our oil supply, the cost of goods and services, holds the nuclear codes.
18:47
This is illuminating, we're illuminating who we are affected by. What are the circumstances where our feelings and our needs become less important because there are people in power and in our lives who operate from a space of volatility and unmitigated dysregulation that we have to protect ourselves from? This is why...
19:15
The coping strategy of sidereal torus is docility. Docility means to stick your legs between, your tail between your legs.
19:30
It means to submit and subdue yourself.
19:35
It means to focus more on what the other person is feeling and tailoring your expression and your behavior and your physical appearance to make sure that that person doesn't react or respond to you in a way that's harmful to you.
19:55
But again, the power of the divination for liberation is being able to take this understanding and look out at the world around you and interpret it through this lens and also understand that you can choose to be affected by people. You can choose this shared and mutual affection by who you are in physical proximity to.
20:26
what groups you identify with.
20:32
where you invest.
20:36
In belonging?
20:41
Right? These are all ways that we are planting seeds of shared affection. Now, of course, I think that...
20:57
feel like I said this on live the other day, and again, if you're in the Podia, the Dead for Live Podia, it's posted there for free and also it's on my Instagram. I'll drop the link in the comments.
21:10
People who start to learn a little bit about astrology and kind of pay attention, they always get really interested in Venus. Oh, Venus love, Venus romance. And like, yeah. But actually, the moon is who y'all think Venus is.
21:32
When it comes to being fussed over, treated like you're somebody's baby, being called baby girl, being called bae, boo, my man, my man, my man, that's the moon, my friends. It's the moon. So a lot of the advice that I give clients, especially right now when they're coming to me asking me about...
21:58
relationships and love and what does their chart have to say and what does the sky have to say, I don't start talking about Venus, actually.
22:09
I start talking about the moon. Because I want to know what's your relationship to being fussed over? What's your relationship to being the apple of somebody's eye? Can you stand the attention? Can you tolerate being that focus?
22:30
These cancer transits, including what Venus and Mercury, I'm sorry, Venus and Jupiter are doing at this new moon in cancer. The shared affection might be you being affected by your own body in a way that causes other people to be affected by your body. Because that's really what Trump is doing. Trump is so preoccupied with his own distress that he doesn't have...
22:59
any room in his nervous system to be attentive to anybody else's needs, including yours and mine, the citizens of this country that he's supposed to be president of. Which is a whole conversation about why the next president that we vote for needs to have Capricorn placements and Aquarius placements. And if they don't have Capricorn and Aquarius placements, I'm not optimistic about it, okay?
23:28
because those are the traits and qualities that we need in a leader. Look no further than Mamdani with all his Capricorn he got going on, all his Saturn he got going on. He knows how to make it not about him.
23:43
But somebody like Trump, don't know how to make a night about him.
23:49
However, also, and what can we learn?
23:55
We don't want to project all of our ills on Trump. He's a villain, yes.
24:02
But often these figures who rise to prominence in our society, are symbols representing something to us individually and collectively.
24:13
And Trump is showing us how we have coddled white men.
24:20
how we have been sucked up into the vortex of their emotional world and how it reinforces this idea that they are entitled to whatever they want, whoever they want, whenever they want, however they want. And so we all need to take a couple notes. This doesn't mean we need to replicate the dynamics of domination and violence.
24:48
But it does mean that revolution begins in the body.
24:56
Revolution begins with paying attention to your own feelings. And at this new moon, it means allowing yourself to be mutually affected.
25:12
because we're planting seeds of shared affection. Let's pull some cards.
25:38
You
25:43
It's time for Advice From The People's Oracle. Before we dive into this week's question, I got some follow-ups from Alith and Elysium, who I gave advice to in the past couple of episodes of the Divination for Liberation podcast.
26:10
First up, Aayla says, thank you so much for addressing my question and all that you do. I'm so happy I found you. You have such a strong voice and point of view that the world needs right now. I listened to episode 24 a couple of times. You nailed the intellect angle and a reference to a strong mother. My mom is the ultimate people connector and I've always viewed that ability with admiration, though I felt I'm not the same.
26:34
I certainly am burnt out. This sphere of work feels so manufactured and irrelevant as if society would rather have us waste our time doing nothing of substance than doing anything that might change the status quo. Financially, to answer your question, I'm fortunate and not struggling. I'm a white trans woman who transitioned around my 40th birthday. So you know, times aren't great. You brought up teaching and while I never considered that, I'm thinking about it now. Like, what would I teach? I'm intrigued.
27:03
Thank you again for reading my birth chart. It was such a trip to see you addressing me. You're welcome, Alif. I'm so glad that the reading resonated with you and I just love when the accuracy is pinpointed right. Okay, let us see what Leesium has to say about the advice that I offered them. Hi, Dana. Thank you for choosing my question. Your analysis was so astute. I appreciate your wisdom and will definitely be integrating the practice you suggested.
27:31
to learn to tune into my feelings around others. Your reminder to go slowly was very needed as I often hold myself to an unhealthy expectation to move at the pace of the people around me. Your observations were all so affirming. Thank you for the work you do." You are welcome. This is so exciting. I'm loving this segment of the podcast. Okay, let's see what we've got going on with this week's segment of Advice From The People's Oracle.
27:57
Today we have Renee writing in from Phoenix, Arizona, asking for relationship advice. Let's see what her question says. I have been in a relationship for almost 13 years. I get strong urges to leave and have attempted to do so on at least three occasions, but somehow always end up staying. Will I ever leave or am I for some reason supposed to be in this relationship for longer or ever? Before I offer any relationship advice,
28:26
I just want to say that if you are experiencing physical, psychological, emotional or financial abuse, there are resources to help you navigate this situation in a way that is safe for you. I'm going to drop a link or a few in the description of this video or this episode of this podcast where you can find help leaving if that is your situation. We know that the majority of women who are murdered by their partners are murdered when they make attempts to leave. We've seen...
28:56
plenty of that happening this year. And so I just want to address that before I give any relationship advice. Now, on to Renee's chart. So one of the things that I want to say to you is that I don't know whether you're supposed to be in a relationship. I don't know if I like that framing. It feels very fatalistic and powerless. And maybe that's a reflection of the way that you feel. You feel powerless in this situation, especially if you've tried to leave three times and you just haven't been able to follow through with it.
29:25
What I'll say is this, you've got your son and your Mercury in sidereal Capricorn. Sidereal Capricorn is the sign of the caretaker, and it often is reflecting the ways that we end up in friendship and relationship and even work dynamics that replicate the emotional caretaking dynamics that we were subject to in childhood. Capricorn is often shouldered with the responsibility to make sure that their caregiver is okay emotionally or that they have to...
29:54
to silence and not be a burden emotionally because the adult has needs that are more important. And so I would probably suspect that that's a dynamic going on in your relationship that's making you feel like the care is not being reciprocated. Secondly, you have your moon, the planet of take care of me, and your Saturn, the planet of taking care of other people in your second house of food and money.
30:23
And so that tells me that also there's a financial dynamic here. Maybe there's some mutual dependency financially, or maybe you are dependent financially. The moon and Saturn together kind of makes me feel like there's both going on. So overall, the theme here is a huge caretaking dynamics. And I could see why you would want to get away from that. I would see why you would try to leave three times. But the thing is, whether you stay or go, you still gonna be you.
30:53
Right? Maybe it is easier to deal with those issues when you are not trapped in patterns with a person you feel stuck with. Maybe if you can't leave because there are children or there are material dynamics where you're dependent on each other, maybe it's worth it to try to figure out what your issues are and not focus too much on the other person and focus more on yourself and what it is that you're displeased with that's making you want to leave.
31:21
Once again, y'all, I'm gonna bring up these cancer transits because it really is the major black backdrop of the sky and representative of our collective experience over the next 18 to 24 months that we will each be experiencing differently based on our birth chart. In this case, for Renee, these dynamics of caretaking and giving and receiving care will be highlighted hugely, right? And this is to say...
31:50
How are you learning over the next 18 months to be okay witnessing other people in your life be in emotional distress? The tool that is most useful in this situation, I think, for navigating the issues I've lined out here in the chart is how are you learning to pay attention to yourself emotionally? A lot of times we need
32:19
or we feel like we need a huge external shift in order to make room for us to make a huge change internally. And sometimes that's the case, but again, other times our material circumstances don't allow for that. And so while you are in this situation, barring any abuse, how are you learning to pay more attention to yourself emotionally? I don't often think that we need something huge. Maybe, you know, I can't say, but I do know for sure
32:49
that in this situation, you learning how to stop ignoring yourself emotionally. Maybe this transit of Jupiter and Cancer will highlight opportunities for you to recognize patterns in terms of siblings and parents and other relatives, and who was taking care of you, what was the role that you took on.
33:15
One last piece I want to share here about your chart is this Mars and Scorpio on your ascendant. This is a placement that I think is going to reflect how you've often had to isolate to protect yourself emotionally and that solitude was a way that you avoided being too much of an emotional burden on other people.
33:46
Isolation is a really important tool because it allows us to preserve the integrity of our emotional boundaries. It gives us the physical and emotional space to really feel what we feel, but it also can make it such that people don't get a realistic sense of the fact that we have emotional needs and that we need other people to show up for us. How are you learning to be a burden?
34:15
over these next several months? How are you learning to be okay watching the people in your life suffer allegedly because you're not rescuing them? Rescue yourself emotionally in this relationship. That's the advice I have to offer for Renee. If you would like to receive advice from The People's Oracle, make sure you click the link in the description and fill out the form providing your birth information and your question.
34:44
And I look forward to offering advice to one of you on the next episode of the Divination for Liberation podcast.
34:53
All right, I'm back with my tarot cards. We are planting seeds of shared affection at this new moon. Let us see what the symbolism of the tarot has to offer us in terms of wisdom, insight, and guidance for how to navigate this new moon time and over the next couple of weeks until we get to the full moon, which will be in Sagittarius at the end of June.
35:19
All right, we've got the Four of Wands. And this is a card of reaching a milestone. The Four of Wands is about something being established, right? One of my forever memories of this card is one time back in the day when I used to be on Instagram Live all the time.
35:47
This was definitely during the pandemic. And I was offering community divination so people could come on live or people could tune into the live rather and put their request for a reading in the question box. And at random I would just choose people. And so I remember this particular day, I had pulled this four of wands and as if somebody was
36:16
behind me talking in my ear, I heard that this card was for a person who was struggling with substance abuse. And I went on to talk about the Four of Lons as this card of renewal, of not letting relapses mean catastrophe or mean loss of progress. That every minute and every second,
36:46
and every day that you're able to keep your promise to yourself is a reason to celebrate.
36:55
I would be remiss if I did not mention that as we are moving through all of these sidereal cancer transits, people are going to be triggered into substance use. People are going to find themselves dependent, whether that's on gambling, vaping, alcohol, and whatever else. People will relapse. And it is...
37:25
important to understand.
37:31
that the current circumstances of this country and the world are replicating dynamics of abuse and treatment that many of us have experienced on a personal level with our family. And so it's very hard to witness and experience these same situations and dynamics occurring without falling into the same coping strategies that we've developed.
37:59
to survive the first time that it happened to us. One of the things that I know about the sign cancer, people who have that sign, um while we are experiencing it through transit,
38:17
It's that cancer can really feel like you're on a boat and the water is doing the thing that water does. It ebbs and flows. And you're looking for the stability and stable ground. But what's really needed is the capacity or the learning how to surf, basically. Learning how to float, learning how to paddleboard, right? Learning how to surrender. The water's not gonna stop moving.
38:48
The status quo is not ending tomorrow. Even if Trump dies, the capitalists who have been handling him and controlling our economy, the evangelical Christians and the white nationalists are going to continue to enforce transphobia and racism and misogyny and misogynoir like it's not going to stop tomorrow.
39:18
just if Trump dies. So we gotta learn to ride the wave. We have to learn how to stop expecting for this big moment to occur where finally we're relieved of the burden. And don't get me wrong, I will be hooting and hollering. Okay? I will be clapping and applauding. I might take off my shirt and wring it around in the air like this. Like, don't get me wrong.
39:49
I will celebrate. When the wicked witch of the east is dead. However, comma, Israel is not gonna stop bombing Iran just because Trump dies. They're not gonna stop destroying Gaza or bombing Lebanon when Trump dies.
40:11
The folks in Congress are not going to stop accepting money from capitalists and letting them control what happens with the money that you pay for taxes. Like, that's not going to stop.
40:29
Right, let's see what else these cards have to say. We've got the Justice card.
40:36
And we've got the four of cups.
40:43
Just, just, it's just a little sad y'all.
40:48
Spore of Cups is not my favorite. Let me put that in a container though. It really represents moments where you cannot help but to be preoccupied with your feelings. It's a way that your emotions and your distress and your needs are all consuming.
41:17
that you really cannot put them in proper perspective and you can't see them within the context of everything else that's going on in your life.
41:29
There's a time and a place for this. It's not the most fun experience because it can really cause you to lose sight and perspective, and it can feel overwhelming. It can feel like you're powerless to your feelings and your needs. It can feel like there's nothing that you can do to change your circumstances. It's kind of like wallowing, you know?
41:58
But for some major contrast, that's coming after the Justice card. And these two cards could really not be more different. The Justice card is really about getting your wits about you and recognizing that as you're making decisions, you need to set your feelings aside. You need to deal with things in a matter of fact way. And...
42:27
Yes, not really the time for being in your feelings. So what a contradiction that we have here. This contradiction of the ways that the heaviness of everything that we're dealing with and experiencing from the data centers to, you know, Washington state has a...
42:53
item on the ballot this fall.
42:57
calling for genital examination.
43:03
for girls sports. And this is where I'm gonna drop a clip from a previous episode where I said that was exactly what was gonna happen after they decided that all of the women participating in the Olympics needed to have their chromosomes tested. I'll drop it right here. But this is the slippery slope of this whole needing to...
43:31
test the chromosomes of all of the women who are going to participate in the Olympics. Because at some point, that's not going to be enough.
43:41
And so then they gonna have to make you pull down your pants and look between your legs.
43:47
Because what is the actual data that proves your gender?
43:58
You saying it clearly isn't enough. They don't believe you.
44:04
whether you're trans or assigned female at birth.
44:10
you writing a legal affidavit under, you know, the possibility of perjury or some kind of legal consequence, that's not enough either.

So now they have to test your chromosomes. You think that's gonna be enough?
44:32
No, that's not going to be enough either. Like I said, they're going to make you pull down your pants and they're have to look in between your legs next. You think that's going to be enough?
44:42
have to say all of that to say that there's a lot going on and it's heavy. And maybe this is not about choosing one or the other. Maybe it's not about wallowing and remaining in that helpless space versus getting a hold of yourself and being the grownup in the room and setting aside all of your feelings and making hard decisions that need to be made.
45:09
maybe there's room for both. And I think that it's a necessity to have both, particularly because of the ways that this Four of Wands is showing up. When we go from extremes of deep emotional... uh being deeply consumed by our emotions on one end, indulging ourselves emotionally, which is the coping strategy of cancer. And then on the other side, we have this...
45:40
Detachment, desire for objectivity to see things from a different perspective, right? To make decisions based on the facts of the situation rather than how we feel.
46:02
We go too far on either one of those ends of the spectrum, and we just end up getting slingshot it back to the other end.
46:12
Which is why when you've been denying yourself something for so long, it becomes more and more and more tempting to indulge yourself till you can't help it.
46:26
or when you've indulged yourself to the point that you're sick to your stomach, you say, never, I'm never touching that again. I'm never doing that again.
46:37
You just might.
46:41
You just might.
46:46
I think there's a middle ground where being consumed and occupied by our own emotions outside of the context of community convinces us that we are the only one feeling a certain way. There's a lot of ritual in the Four of Wands. There is ritual in the form of like holidays.
47:16
uh which are supposed to be the ways that communities set aside time to recognize and acknowledge someone or something, an occurrence or something from the past. Right? I feel like that's so appropriate for Taurus. Because that's a part of the status quo, too.
47:48
Juneteenth has become a federal holiday.
47:53
Which one could make the case that once again, something that Black people have created has been co-opted by empires, stripped of its meaning, and made it another opportunity to consume?
48:13
But that don't have to be what you make it.
48:18
What rituals are you establishing as an opportunity?
48:26
to create opportunity rather for shared affection. How are you gathering? Who are you gathering with? How are you emerging from isolation with the intention of seeking places to belong and people to belong with?
48:48
How are you balancing the need to protect yourself from undue emotional influence with the need to feel yourself reverberated back to you by people who you share something in common with?
49:04
I think that's all that I have today for this episode of the Divination for Liberation podcast. I'm your host, Dayna Lynn Nuckolls, also known as the People's Oracle. I will see you in two weeks at the full moon in Sidereal Sagittarius. Honestly, so frickin' glad to at least for the moment stop talking about Taurus. Now...
49:27
Unfortunately, come June 20th, Mars is going to be in Taurus until August 2nd. And so this whole summer is going to be full of white people doing things that white people do. I'm just saying, get your friends, get your husband, get your family member, because that's all who was on that jury for the Carmelo Anthony trial anyway. Like, then that's your people.
49:55
Sorry, not sorry. In any case.
50:04
Michael Hoerger, hopefully I'm saying their name right, this is the person who runs the Instagram account, a website that keeps track of COVID wastewater data.
50:18
The link to that website is gonna be in the description. uh They've changed the way that they're mapping wastewater and it's much more specific now. So before it was like state by state. So this state is low, this state is high. But now you can see data on like a city, municipality, county level that can be more specific.
50:44
there looks like there was a flare of cases in East Central Texas. I don't know if that's gonna stick and I'm curious if that's just an anomaly um because astrologically in terms of my predictions, I don't see any astrology that is indicating a COVID surge until the end of this year, like November, October-ish. And even then,
51:14
I'm more so anticipating it being a different infectious disease. Might there be a surge of COVID? Yeah, I don't think it will be substantial, but I'm more concerned about other infectious diseases emerging. We just went through Mars-Jupiter Square and you had hantavirus on the cruise ship and then you've got Ebola disease.
51:43
in the Congo, Uganda, and it is not very well controlled. So even though we are not necessarily under any immediate threat of a major COVID surge, there are other infectious diseases. And the historical pattern is very clear that when Mars and Jupiter come in hard aspect with each other, it is reflecting the emergence of an infectious disease. And so...
52:13
Yeah, that's all of my updates for now. Join me tonight. It's the second Wednesday of the month, which means that it's the Dev4Lib Astro Meetup.
