Aloha I'm Leslie Tagorda Aquarius boss woman, ground astrologer and designer. Not long ago I was an unseen business owner playing small. Then using my astrology chart I uncovered the luminary is meant to be. Now I help entrepreneurs like you use astrology in practical ways to crystallize your brand visibility for brilliance, impact and reach. We are currently in a huge global pivot and it's your time, your time to be a leader, your time to show up for your community and contribute your magic in the world. I believe you are here to shine brightly online like the luminary you are meant to be.

Hey everybody, Leslie here, your brand astrologer and designer and we are here today to talk about About the new moon in Taurus, and Taurus season, right? in business and even in traditional astrology Taurus is about self worth. It's about what we value, as well as the value we bring into the world. And in business, astrology, all of this self worth and deserving and, and our value propositions, all of this results in the profit in our business, or maybe not the profits in our business, right. We all have many stories to work through. So what I want to talk about today is manifesting and prosperity and financial security. And maybe this isn't really the best time to be talking about that. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic to talk about making money in uncertain times. I know that there are so many people suffering so many businesses suffering, unemployment is at an all time high. And you know, the idea of Even us getting any small business loans or, you know, all of that those payroll loans and stuff like that. They're not really options for us small businesses or for gig workers. Right?

 So what do we talk about here? When we're talking about manifesting, I don't want to seem insensitive here. But there are a lot of people that are still doing okay. And if you look at some of these biggest, biggest companies like Amazon, at their banking from our global pivot, and that needs to change, right, and that needs to change from an individual level. So the more money that we can make for ourselves that we can, you know, ripple it forward into our communities and support the businesses that we love. This is only going to help us and it's going to equal out the playing field. So we are going to be talking about manifesting and prosperity even though there's So much uncertainty because the world is still going to go on, right? And you get to choose whether or not you're going to be suffering, or you're going to be living prosperously. Right. So when we're thinking about making money at this time, we want to be doing it, of course with flexibility in meeting our customers where they are now. Because there are definitely ways to continue to work to pay the bills and to have enough money to share with others, right. It's Taurus season, and it's time to talk about prosperity. It's time to talk about how our self worth determines how we are able to earn money, even in this new economy. I know I've been talking with a lot of people right now at very different, you know, different places in their businesses, or maybe they're employed or maybe they're not employed and there's like this huge spectrum. And there there are risks being highlighted. But even people who are making money right now, they might not even be able to see how prosperous they are. Right? 

So, let me just preface that I feel very grateful and very lucky to have a job. You know, I've had this business I've had an online business for many years now over 10 years now. And both my husband and I are working and we're trying to do a pretty okay job. It's really challenging because we also have our son at home. Now I know we have it a lot more. A lot easier than a lot of people I'm not I'm being very conscious of that. I get it. We can still buy food. We can we can still pay our bills and everything like that. But I was talking to my husband the other day, who is still at this point gainfully employed him and his whole team are gainfully employed at this time. And we were talking about money because we have some money saved We do have a little a six month emergency fund we got we saved up, you know, money, when, when we had money coming in and rolling in, we were really conscious about saving money so that we weren't going to blast through everything. And so I feel that even if he were to get laid off, or if business really started to slow down for me, it would be okay for a little while. But the way that we see things is very, very different. Right? I'm super optimistic. And I know, I believe, I don't know, but I believe that his job is going to be okay. He's actually working in tech, developing tools so that people can meet to virtually like, not on zoom, but like in VR, right. Like, how forward thinking is that how appropriate to our times is that do you think that his company is going to fire him right now? No. Right. And so he's really worried about where his next paycheck is going to come when It's going to come. Even though we have privilege, he is able to work, we are going to be okay. And for me, all I see is opportunity, right? I see opportunity for businesses to get online to serve customers in new ways. And so even though both he and I live in the same reality, we live in our thousand square foot, small little apartment in San Francisco, right?

But his experience is one of anxiety because he's fearing a future that may or may not come where I'm here saying, look at all of this abundance, right? And in this time, with the cosmos with the energies with Pluto and Jupiter, when we're thinking about the idea of Jupiter expanding anything that it touches, this is the exact reason why I want all of us here all of us listeners to focus on the positive Yes to focus on manifesting. Even if you feel like you're super hopeless right now, even if you feel that you don't have a job that you're just getting by, to be able to pay for your bills and food, right? This has never been a better time with Taurus season to really be creating and manifesting our future by being able to visualize and embody the feeling of feeling secure. Well, With all of that said here with all of that long introduction, what we're going to be covering today is I'm going to be talking all about Taurus season is all about Taurus and how that fits in our business. Then I'm going to be going through Taurus through the planets and the energies that it represents around our money stories. I'm also going to be reviewing some of the questions that people in my group, the savvy luminary on Facebook, you know, come on in join us. We're talking about astrology all the time, and I often ask them to like pop in their charts, and so a bunch of people pop up. Their charts asking about Taurus and what that means for them. So I'll be reading through some of their questions, then I'm going to be going through your new moon intentions with this new moon in Taurus. What you can be doing to be thinking about setting your intentions around financial security and earning money, right? So we're not going to go house by house what Taurus means like I did in the for Aries season, but I'll talk about that later. And then we're going to close out the episode with the astrology highlights for the week of April 19 through the 25th. 

All right, so it's going to be Taurus season on Sunday the sun is going to move into Taurus and Taurus is a beautiful, peaceful sign. It's earthy and patient and practical. It is yes an earth sign. So when I talk about embodiment, that's how Taurus is or Taurus energy goes through the world by field Things by sensing things in their bodies. So when I say sensuality, I'm not just talking about like sexy pleasure time. I'm talking in like the sensuality of everyday things from smell, to touch to coziness. You know, Taurus is also a fixed sign. So Taurus again, that patience, maybe it's not so much patience, but maybe sometimes it's just like shoving your hoops in the rat in the ground because you don't want to move. When I think about like the perfect epitome of Taurus, I think of Ferdinand the bowl. If you know that old story about Ferdinand he was like this big bowl, who was not ferocious at all. All he wanted to do was sit under the apple tree and smell the flowers. And he was made to go do some bullfighting. But anyway, a Ferdinand is the perfect picture of Taurus, right.

If you know any Taurus people, they're normally very beautiful either Taurus, sun people or Taurus rising people. They have this, this kind of beauty about them this peaceful beauty about them. Because Taurus is ruled by Venus the planet it also Venus also rules Libra and Libra rising and Libra people also have been to have beautiful fine features. But Venus in Taurus is all about values. Are possessions, attracting possessions and connecting to beauty. Right? So Venus has a little bit of the same flavor in both Taurus and, and Libra. But here we're talking about the attraction, the physical attraction, the attraction through the body in business, right Taurus represents the second house and again in business astrology. The second house is all about money, right? It's about our material resources. It's about our possessions. It's about building wealth, and it's about our own worthiness, right because you know, that our own worthiness is a reflection or actually take that back our profit and our ability to earn money is a reflection of how we feel. And now Yes, you probably have met lots of people who make a crapload of money, and they feel really crappy about themselves. But there's another thing going on there. Can they keep all that money or are they hoarding that money? Because yes, that is a Taurus principle because of course, all of these signs have a spectrum of expressions.

 So with Taurus, the natural inner peace, pleasure seeking archetype, the mantra for Taurus, Taurus is I manifest, right? at the lowest vibration of Taurus, right? We talk about that hoarding experience of over indulging like definitely eating too much and they excessiveness but at the highest vibration of Taurus. We're looking at stability, right? If we think again about the bull, the bull has its feet planted in the earth, it is stable, it is secure. It loves the line that it's on because of all of the amazing senses. The sun on its back, the grass under its feet, the smell of the flowers, the sound of the wind, right? When we think of the farm that Taurus lives on, that is also another Taurus concept, the actual land, the farm the prosperous, practical, life giving force. So going back to the our business and our brands and what Taurus means there, it's like we looked at Taurus and the second house when we are looking for clues on how to build sales or how to you know how to promote insane like in the sales part, not the marketing part, but the actual sales because in marketing, you're getting the word out in sales, you're persuading somebody based on values. Right? And Taurus, also the second house, you know, for really good at sales, then we can get really good at earning all of those earned resources. And if we're really being practical, then that's when we can start to accumulate wealth by profiting not profiteering. Again. I'm here to be teaching and empowering people to create profits for the abundance of all not for hoarding. We look at the second house in our business. I mentioned earlier that this represents our values. This includes like what we are self like value in the world. You know, like you could value love, sisterhood, community family, diversity, the aloha spirit equality made me some of my personal values, right. But then we're also talking about the value of our offering. and the value of our offering. If I'm offering web design services, right, web design services is just a commodity. But my version of web design services allows somebody to show up in their business. Right? So you can see that the transformation of the impact value of the web design services is the value of my offering. It's not just the commodity of it, it's what is behind it, or under it. What is what is it that that person who's going to buy it really, really, really needs? Yes, they need a website, but why?

Why do they need a website so they can show up in their business on line? That's the value, right? So we get really Really good at recognizing our value, of course, we get really confident. And as we are able to express more and more of this true value that we offer, you can feel your worthiness rise up, right? And so you can see how this is all connected in our ability to earn and prosper. And as I was just talking with a woman earlier today, Jenna, she was saying, I'm so spiritual and I'm learning now that in this physical realm, I need to learn how to make money, because I have to support my physical body here in this material realm. Yes, we do. And there's nothing bad around that. Okay. So if you are struggling with this kind of sense that money is evil, or money is the root of all evil. Though these are some things also that we need to look at are kind of where Taurus falls in our chart to see where those energies energies are coming from where those stories are coming from. Because money in itself is not the root of all evil. It's how we use money to gain power and to hoard power or use power against others that can be used very wrong, right? So of course, we're always working on a spectrum. And I'm encouraging all of us to always work at the highest vibration of that spectrum. 

Now, when we're not prospering, right, oftentimes, we're not delighting and embodying our own Taurus energies, right? I'm sure you've heard of tantric teachers who talk about the pleasure principle, right? When we don't feel pleasure, we're not able to access our manifestation and creative force, right? So again, when we're not prospering, one of the things to do is to practice radical self care so that we're able to access our planet. Again, doesn't have to necessarily mean sexual pleasure. But if that's your cup of tea, all the more power to you, and I'm saying power because sex is very, very powerful. But pleasure can be from, you know, savoring. savoring a piece of the yummy dark chocolate or feeling the warmth of hot tea, or feeling the softness of your favorite blanket. All of those things when we pay really close attention, and really savor that pleasure that helps us prosper, believe it or not. And when we're not when we're not prospering, one of the other things is that we're not appreciating what we have, right? Like I was talking about my husband earlier. He, he wasn't able to appreciate the abundance that we we all have, right and when you're not able to appreciate the abundance that we have, you're not really enjoying life and you're not able to see the value in your own talents and offerings. Like, again, going back to my husband and just my, what I perceive is like he is very talented at what he does. But he's always saying like, oh, somebody else is so much smarter or somebody else is so much more talented and not really recognizing or being able to say that. 

Yeah, he is very valuable in what he does for work. Also, when we're not prospering, we don't feel worthy, right at home, he don't feel worthy, we don't feel deserving. We don't feel lovable. And we go into this downward spiral and you can see how this will be a real block to us being able to prosper and to earn money. And then of course, when we're not prospering, we don't have a sense of physical security. This literally comes to food, shelter, clothing, warmth, those basic needs that we all have Have that a lot of people right now are not

Unknown Speaker  19:03  
getting,

Leslie Tagorda  19:04  
right. But when you're able to prosper when you are able to live abundantly, you don't have to hoard that money, you can choose to empower others and ripple out that money forward. I know with me personally, over the last few weeks, I've been doing my best to shop locally to use the little corner markets that you know, compete with whole foods to order from our local restaurants that I really want to see survive this right. And even earlier, I was asking for people online to see if anybody was selling reusable face masks. I didn't want to buy it off of Amazon. I wanted to buy it off of Etsy or some person who was doing this, like a handmade kind of project I wanted to support local small businesses. So I want you to know that the more money and abundance you have, the more that you can then direct Your prosperity and abundance and vote with your earnings. All right. Okay. I'll get off my soapbox again.

So I mentioned earlier that the members of my free Facebook group, the savvy luminary, and you're, of course, welcome. Come on in. I was asking if anybody had questions about Taurus. And so I wanted to answer some of the questions that they put up there here in the podcast. So Lindsay was saying, Is this a good time to take advantage of the Taurus New Moon in launching her flagship and what Lindsay does is she offers a financial coaching for couples and, Lindsay Yes, Taurus themes are all about financial security and using this energy to open up conversations. So you can use this for your clients to talk about their money stories, so they can then build a practical financial future to gather. So with Lindsay also her Taurus is her sixth house of daily routines, systems and automations. So what I would say for you, Lindsay to really push this forward and to really take advantage of the Taurus New Moon, yes, you can talk about them and help them set intentions, when you know when they're opening up with deciding to work with you setting intentions around their financial security. And as you're talking about your work, I really want you to showcase the systems that make it really easy for them to have a daily regular process for your clients to be able to build their relationships through coming to a common ground around money. So Lindsay, I don't really know how your flagship works and how you're working with them and your framework. But something that's coming through to me is to really showcase your system, how you create really easy, automated ways for them to date. Check in or on a regular basis check in. There's something about systems and automations coming up for me with this tars theme for you. Joanna wanted to know about pricing. Right? And for Joanna, she has Taurus at her midheaven. And what I also wanted to look at for Joanna was I wanted to look at her second house because right Taurus rules the second house. So I wanted to look at where Taurus is in her chart, which house it rules, as well as where Taurus is located in her chart. So, Taurus at the midheaven Oh, my gosh, you have a big responsibility, Joanna, because with anything at the midheaven this is your penultimate your ultimate mission, and Taurus is about peace and prosperity. So when you are looking at pricing, what I'm going to recommend for you is to look at how you need to show up As a leader, because Venus that rules Taurus is also in your first house of leadership and brand personality. So leading as someone who promotes inner peace so that one can love themselves, right? That's what you're here to sell. But what you have to do is lead by example. So you are delivering peace and prosperity with Taurus at your midheaven. And at Virgo also your value of transformation, the value that you bring to your customers is a sense of calmness of Mind Body integration. One got they feel more physically, emotionally mentally able to do the things that they need to do because of Virgo on your second house cuts. That's the true gift that you bring. So you're talking about you're offering, you want to be talking about vertigo principles, healing, health, wholeness, all of those things. So as you get more confident about expressing the value of your work, and it's hard to know exactly what you know what your pricing I didn't, we didn't get a chance to talk about your offer or anything like that. But just know that pricing is about being able to express the value of your offer to your ideal customer, right? So depending on who your ideal customer is, they're going to also have a different price point in mind or ability, right to pay for things. And so if you're, if you're wanting to work with a high end customer, and you price it too low, the person is going to be like, Huh, is this worth it? Right? Why is it so low, but if you're pricing If you're determined to work with a lot of different people at all different price points, you also need to make it affordable to people who may not be able to afford you, or setting up your pricing so that you can effectively support yourself while having maybe a few open spots for a sliding scale. So there's lots of different things on the spectrum. But in order to price really well, you're thinking about how all of these different pieces fit together. Most of all, you're getting to the place where you can really clearly express the value of your offering and how you're supposed to be delivering on this mission, your mission of peace and prosperity. 

So Patricia also had she just mentioned she wanted to learn more about her Taurus because she mentioned that she has her north node in Taurus. Now our north node is where our soul wants to go wants to attract accomplish and learn in this lifetime. It's meant to be a stretch for us, it's meant to feel uncomfortable, right? Because we haven't yet done it before, or haven't done it much before, at least in this lifetime. And so when I looked at Patricia's chart, just like Joanna, she also had Taurus on the midheaven. And in her 10th house, that's the door the mid midheaven is the doorway into the 10th house. She also had Venus in there. So we're talking about midheaven a really important place in our chart, along with North node, the discerning place where we need to move ourselves forward, and Venus our ability to attract and to connect and attract what you might ask in Taurus. Peace and prosperity. So similar to Joanna, your ultimate, your ultimate goal in this life is to go create peace and prosperity in your business. Right? And this is going to be a stretch for you, right? But as you begin to live on that path, you're going to be seeing more things and more opportunities opening up for you so that you can continue on your path to being a business luminary that create peace and prosperity so that you can be seen more by more people as one that also helps them build peace and prosperity, right? I think this is so beautiful for you. And so if we think about Venus ruling Taurus as well, this is also in your 10th house. And so 10th house for all of us is about our business or public sphere. It's the brightest point in our chart. So in traditional astrology, this is about career but because we're talking about brand and business astrology, we Yes, we are the We Are the career. Right. So this is more about how we deliver on our promise. Right? So your mission here is to build peace and prosperity in your business for yourself and others. And then another question in from the savvy luminary Myra says that she has Jupiter in Taurus and she wants to know what that means. 

So Jupiter is a planet expands whatever it touches, whether it's good or bad Jupiter doesn't mind. Jupiter is a forever an optimist and really works well around the idea of gratitude and gratefulness because like I said, whatever Jupiter touches expands. So if you're not focusing on things from this place of abundance and gratitude, you know, if you're focusing on it, from a place of fear, Jupiter's just gonna expand that fear. But if you're focusing on abundance and gratitude, Jupiter is going to expand that. So, with Jupiter being in your earthy Taurus sign, you generally attract all of your material needs. It's kind of lucky that way, right? But you need to be generous. Right? So, watch for overindulgence hoarding I don't know if you've been like buying lots of toilet paper but if you have watched that, check it and because you're so practical in order for you to see the results in order to achieve them, you must visualize them right? Sometimes for you because you're so practical. You want to know that there is actually the goal at the end of the rainbow, right to to visualize the goal at the end of the rainbow before you take off on that journey to go find that that pot. So you need clear direction, clear goals and strong plans. With your Jupiter in Taurus, and with this Taurus season as the sun goes into earthy Taurus, this is a time for you to realize your goals. So Lyra get out there visualize and go get it. So with all this talk about Taurus, we have a new moon coming up on a Wednesday the Taurus New Moon, and I want to invite you to a new moon masterclass called illuminate your brand's worth. We're going to be looking at all the Taurus concepts, worthiness values and prophets, right?

The New Moon is going to go exact at 7:26pm Pacific and 10:26pm. Eastern that evening. So, I Love New moons You know, that's my jam. So let's look at each of the planetary energies from a business focus if it was a Taurus, alright, so if you have a Taurus sun, you are an embodiment of worthiness and value you create experiences so that you can feel inner peace. If you have a Taurus moon, you desire to heal your money, issues and stories you have. You have the ability to give yourself a little more TLC To feel those money stories if you have a Taurus rising, you lead by enjoying what you have and have earned if you have a Taurus Mercury, you communicate how to build income and wealth. Right teach that share it with others. If you have Taurus Venus,

Venus is in its home place of Taurus, you connect, attract and appreciate your valuable resources, right luxury items beautiful things your own prosperity you attract. If you have Mars in Taurus, you overcome your money obstacles to achieve prosperity. If you have Jupiter in Taurus, you expand your personal finances with a focus on practicality and gratitude. If you have Saturn in Taurus, you sustain and preserve your financial wealth with a focus on saving. If you have Uranus in Taurus, you evolve to create financial freedom. That is what you need and financial freedom means different things to a lot of different people so you don't have to go by the book. Whatever financial freedom means to you, okay? If you have Neptune in Taurus, you rise above the noise and build your own financial flow. I think there probably won't be anybody here with Neptune in Taurus unless you're really young and really love astrology from a very early age. For any of us living here, Pluto, no one here will have Pluto in Taurus. I think the last time Pluto was in Taurus was sometime in 1850s. So we're not going to talk about that. If you have Chiron the wounded healer in Taurus, you are here to heal. Your deep money wounds. Yes, there's no shame in them. Because just like Chiron as he was the wounded healer, he was able to learn so many healing modalities, even though he wasn't able to necessarily heal his own wounds, that turned into a giant gift. So as you learn to heal your deep money wounds, all of those skills and tools that you acquire will also become gifts that you can offer through your work. If you have the lunar north node in Taurus, then you're going to grow into prosperity and building wealth. This is a new place for you. But when you stretch into that goal and you start living on that path of building prosperity and building wealth, opportunities are going to come flooding. And if you have the lunar South node in Taurus, you can fall back on what you already already know about being physically and financially secure. It is a past pattern of yours. Don't get stuck there. It can be really, really easy to go there because you've done it many, many lifetimes, you know how to do it. So I hope that was helpful going through all of the luminaries and planets and the nodes as if they were Taurus. So let me know where you have Taurus in your chart. I have Mars in Taurus, right. And it's in the 12th house of spirituality. So I definitely have to overcome my own money obstacles. I feel very fortunate to have what I have. And I live an abundant life but I haven't always been a strong earner. I've been very lucky. Alright, so earlier, I talked about the new moon masterclass, but I didn't really talk about the Taurus New Moon yet, and so I want to go into a little Little bit of the Taurus New Moon and how you're going to need to use this time to harness energy to embody your worth, so that you can manifest your physical desires. Again, notice all of those very Taurus words embody worth, manifest physical desires, right? 

So I'm going to talk about the astrology of it all during the highlights coming up. So I'll see that but you know, the new moon in Taurus has to be one of the most lovely new moons of the year. The new moon energy of Taurus, of course ruled by Venus is asking us to set an our intentions around our value, how we see our own worthiness, right? Our pleasure and self care because you know, I've talked about it, how we treat ourselves is a reflection of what we think we are worth and our abundance of material possessions. We get to set intentions, how we experience money, and of course, this is awesome. reflection of what we think we deserve right? So again, just a reminder we'll be discussing all of this in the New Moon masterclass, illuminate your brand's worth, but from this very special perspective of money and love, inner peace. So if you've been struggling to make more profits and increase your pricing or communicating the value of your offerings, this free masterclass is for you. Right. We've all been there. I bet I've been there. So, in Episode Five, if you want to go back there, I give you all of the detailed steps on how to create your own new moon intention. ritual. Right. So just really quickly, I'll go through those five steps here. But then you can also go back to episode five, or I talked about the Pisces New Moon and how to create a new moon ritual. So your first step is you want to clear your space to receive second step, flow and dream big. Third step, ask for what you want. 

Fourth step, give thanks and release any spirit guides you've called in. And then after that, you're going to activate your intentions and do something now, right, more details we'll talk about in the master class and then the bonus, share forward the love. So when you're looking at your own chart, if you know how to read your chart, look at three degrees of Taurus. That's where the new moon is happening. And that's the place that you're going to be having your new moon activation. So you can look at the house, you can look at if there's any planets nearby there, three degrees of Taurus, or you can even look at planets that are in Scorpio three degrees or any of the earth signs in three degrees. Those planets are going to be activated in a harmonious way. If you have a Scorpio not so harmonious, I take that back, but you'll have this ability to To resolve some of those energies if you have any conflicts there. So some of the questions that you might want to ask yourself as you plan to your Taurus New Moon intentions, you're going to want to ask yourself to visualize your financial future, right? You don't need to make any big plans. You don't need to make a budget or anything right now. Just look at the big picture. How much money would you love to be making and how do you want to earn it? Big Picture intentions again, let spirit fill in the details. Another question you want to ask yourself is, what would it feel to truly love yourself? How would you treat yourself? What do you need to believe about yourself? What do you need to embody when you love yourself? And what does pleasure and self care look like for you when you really truly love yourself? Another question is what is the transformational impact you want to make? Make in your business? What is that worth to others? What is that worth to you that value? And of course what brings you inner peace and pleasure? And how might you be able to integrate that into your life on a regular basis? Remember I was saying earlier that feelings of pleasure your ability to receive pleasure is directly related to your ability to feel worthy and deserving. So just a reminder, I'm going to be talking all about this in depth in the New Moon masterclass on the new moon on April 22, at 2pm Pacific 5pm Eastern, so head on over to the savvy luminary comm forward slash new moon to sign up for this big event. It's free masterclass. So invite your friends. It's so much fun. Let's talk about the astrology highlights for the week of April. 19th through the 25th so on Sunday, April 19, the sun moves into Taurus officially kicking off Taurus season. So remember this is all again about broodiness, you are deserving of the very best spring is in the air it is time to manifest. No wonder Taurus is associated with land bounty and the farm. Then, of course, the new moon. We talked about the new moon a little bit is happening on Wednesday, April 22. And if you're into Angel numbers, notice the 444 holy manifestation. It happens exactly at 10:26pm. Eastern 7:26pm.Pacific,

So what's really interesting about this day that we are supposed to be planting the seeds so that we can expand our self worth and value in our business. There are a lot of powerful things going on. I posted To the chart of this in the show notes, if you want to take a look at the chart on some of the things that really come to fore for me, I was talking about the 444 of April for 22nd for in 2024. So, I don't know about you, but I've been seeing 444 all the time since about January. So I'm trusting that the angels are telling me I am on the right path. I have the lunar nodes move backwards and they at the time of the new moon, they will be at zero degrees 37 seconds. Cancer, right. They are moving backwards and they're going to be in Gemini and Sagittarius sometime in May and early May I'll be talking about that as it comes up.

So the with the know that this critical degree of this ability for us to be socially responsible and Emotionally responsible, things are still going to be very heightened with our global pivot, all right? And of course, your rawness is going to be it's really near it's right next to it then three degrees of the sun and the moon in Taurus right there. So thinking of our new moon energy having this really rebel this rebellious need to be free kind of feeling yet we cannot be free, right because Uranus is squaring Saturn and you can see this as still this. This need to shelter in place we want to be free. Maybe we can be free in our minds and our hearts and our souls but physically, we are not able to be free right now. This too will pass but not right now. On April 25 Pluto stations to go back upwards, Pluto retrograde is happening. Now, don't worry, it's not like one of these inner planets. It's not like when mercury goes retrograde or Mars or Venus goes retrograde. From our perspective on Earth, Pluto looks like it's going backwards about half the year. But when Pluto goes retrograde, what's happening is that we have to stop, we have to decide, right? I've been talking a lot about this activation of Pluto, about being able to decide because transformation happens, change happens rather by choice or by force. That's Pluto.

So the question now that we need to be thinking is how are we going to integrate the learnings of this global pivot so that we can build a new sustainable future. Pluto moves super slowly, it takes about 248 years to go around the sun. So it's going to spend it many, many years in the Zodiac. Hence, that's why we call it a an outer planet. It's like it's generational planet meaning that the people in your family are all going to have the same zodiac sign for their Pluto. So as Pluto puts the brakes on, it's going to be stopping at Capricorn 25 degrees. And it's going to be going backwards all the way until October 4. So we're going to have a lot of integration time from now until October 4 2020. It's going to go all the way back to 22 degrees of Capricorn. And if you're an astrology junkie, do note that that is the same degree of the great Saturn Saturn Pluto conjunction that we had back in January, which is considered kind of like the catalyst of our global pivot we are seeing now. So what do you think Pluto is asking us to do? It's asking us to clean up our poop. Right? integrate what we've learned. We're going to have to be integrating this all the way back till till October 4. So from you know if this is any indication of what's been going on? Right? This is the process of Pluto is to transform again, if not by choice by force. And we have the choice to Clean up, clean up our act, clean up our society clean up our government clean up all of our systems here. So that we can transform as a collective and, you know, really shore up these massive cracks that have been exposed in our government, our healthcare system, and the unequal access to protections and support. I know you've been feeling this even if you can't put words to this. This is we are at the next evolution one of great healing and rebuilding. Right, and you're ready, right, I'm ready. I want to be there for everybody and I know that you are here to contribute as well. So this this retrograde is, Jupiter is already in retrograde Pluto is in retrograde and then In May, Saturn is going to go in retrograde about three planets and retrograde in June Neptune goes into retrograde in

August, your rawness goes into retrograde. But gratefully, Jupiter is going to go back and direct again. So over the next four months, just the retrograde motion, like even if you don't know anything about astrology, you can tell that these collective forces that are represented by the outer planets is asking us to re learn to re integrate to read to everything that has gone wrong that has been highlighted by the global pivot that we are in now.
