Harnessing the Power of Your Ruling Planet
00:00:22
Speaker
So Molly, what are we talking about today? Well, picked the topic. Yeah. I think you should introduce it. Okay. um It's a little challenge for you.
00:00:37
Speaker
There's a theory that if you develop a relationship with your ruling planet, which I have come to understand is the planet that rules your rising sign, that your life will get like Oh, like, I can't think of the word.
Astrology's Popularity via TikTok
00:00:55
Speaker
Exponentially better. I don't know by how many exponentials, but you know what I mean? Mathematics. Exponentials or exponentials? What the fuck word is it? I don't even know. um Exponents.
00:01:11
Speaker
Exponentials. yeah I don't know either, but it's a thing that was on TikTok. Exponentials. And so, you know, everything on TikTok is true, obviously.
00:01:23
Speaker
ah but and like, and also we do probably need to clarify, like, we have not ourselves, like, undergone the process of developing big relationship with a rising sign yet.
00:01:38
Speaker
Right. um Yeah, we've not undergone it yet. But like, it's something that we've actually like talked about for a couple, like, ah more than a couple months now. um of just like we've had it as an idea to talk about but we've also been like what the hell does this mean like how what does it mean to do this yeah and like yeah I mean yeah like it's we're still novices like we still have but done like minimal and ah research for information but yeah we wanted to at least start the conversation about it to but like A to inspire hopefully but B to like
00:02:18
Speaker
get us on the like on the right track to get started with it so so we're gonna we're gonna dive into that today so i don't remember who brought it up first or how it even came up but like i remember Like I had just, I must've just run across that TikTok or maybe you told me about
The Moon's Influence on Identity
00:02:48
Speaker
it. I'm not even sure, but I got all excited about it because I realized what was happening at that time was it was at September of 2024. It was around September. Okay.
00:02:59
Speaker
So like there was a full moon in Pisces in, um, in that month. And I got excited because i my so moon sign is Pisces, but my rising sign is Cancer, which is Cancer is ruled by the moon. So it was like a double whammy for me. And I was like all excited about it.
00:03:21
Speaker
i i think we might have mentioned it when it was happening. Yeah, I think I went on Marco. I remember like dumping. Yeah, you definitely talked about it on mark if so Marco for sure. But I do remember us like mentioning it in recording. I'm pretty sure it made it into the final cut of whatever episode that was. okay But like, yeah, like it was still it was it was pretty significant, honestly.
00:03:47
Speaker
Yeah. So the funny thing is for a very long time, i have always been drawn to the moon. Like, I've always like, I mean, for as long as I can remember.
00:04:01
Speaker
In my adult life, you know. and like ah Like, you know, like a witch. Yeah, well, which is crazy because, like, I've only technically been a witch for, like, six years or whatever. Yeah, except for, you know, I love to point out like, the fact that you've always been.
00:04:16
Speaker
yeah i have. i have, but I didn't know that. i didn't know i finding I love finding examples of, like, yeah, obviously I was always a witch.
00:04:27
Speaker
Yeah. And so, like, that's one of those things where I'm just, like, really Like, of course I did that because, yeah, i like I could sit here and tell you when I was in college, I bought my first crystal.
00:04:43
Speaker
think there was some kind of little I don't want to call it a bazaar or like fair or festival or I don't know what the hell kind of thing they had, but it was like they had little vendors set up on the campus.
Crystals and Personal Growth
00:04:56
Speaker
Yeah. and i just remember finding this pink rock it was shiny and pretty and it turned out to be a rose quartz but um i just loved it and that was probably like the first time i ever besides let me roll that back for a minute when i was a teenager um We were up north in Michigan, which in in Michigan, we just say up north um in the ah upper portion of the lower peninsula.
00:05:27
Speaker
Not as north as Canada, but not as north as the upper peninsula either. So it's like the upper portion of the lower peninsula, which is the Mitten um in like Traverse City area, Glen Arbor area.
00:05:40
Speaker
it's like on lake michigan it's like it's a ski town ski resort area and like summer water resort area and stuff like that um my grandmother had a condominium up there that was in a ski resort uh and and we were up there visiting we were down at like i think it was in leelanau leland or leland i always get them confused but like there's this town that's like a fishing town and it has like a lot of cool little shops and you know things like that but i remember going in one of these shops with my mom and finding a pair of earrings that had dangly um clear quartz it wasn't like a perfect circle or whatever was just like a like a small yeah small polished not raw
00:06:32
Speaker
It's polished, but it's irregular shape. that that's Like a tumbled? Yeah, tumbled. Small tumble um dangling. The part that goes in your ear, the stud part, yeah was like shaped like a seashell.
00:06:52
Speaker
um but it's silver was like yeah sterling silver and so beneath that was like this dangling little clear quartz yeah I was like drawn to those so I bought those um so that was probably the first time I ever really bought anything that was like crystal related yeah and then the rose I was gonna say that reminds me of when I was quite young Another example of like, I've always been a witch.
00:07:23
Speaker
um When I was quite young, we we visited Luray Caverns in Virginia, which is like probably the most famous cave system in Virginia. I'm not sure about if it's the whole the most famous cave system in the whole of like Southern Appalachia, but like it's significantly well known.
00:07:46
Speaker
And so we visited the Afterward, which I've also always loved L'Ray, like I love going back. um But we visited and we went to the gift shop afterward.
00:07:59
Speaker
And i remember in the gift shop, they had ah really, really beautiful geode for sale. And I couldn't remember, I don't know if it was something that was found in the Ray Caverns or if it was just like, this is a cave and this is a rock. So this is the gift shop.
00:08:18
Speaker
But it was this beautiful, like bright, bright blue teal geode ah that like the smooth polished surface of like the split half was like also beautiful. But then like the glittery part middle was like,
00:08:38
Speaker
just stunning yeah and it was it felt like that was like like a piece of an altar to me like it felt important to me to keep that on my nightstand yeah and it was big it was like the size of this seltzer can nice yeah and it like had a flat like carved flat bottom and a flat front obviously and it was like this dark charcoal gray around the back do you still have it Probably it's somewhere in somewhere. I don't know.
00:09:12
Speaker
I don't know. Like i i have boxes of stuff from my childhood home that I've not gone through that are in my basement right now. ah But like, I don't know if it's in there because I can't remember the last time I saw it.
00:09:25
Speaker
And I packed those boxes, but I also packed those boxes like nine years ago. So I don't remember, but um but yeah, it's, I would hope that it didn't get chucked or like given away or something.
00:09:41
Speaker
No, I mean, if anything, somebody in your family might value it as a paperweight. So why would it be thrown out? You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't know. But like, even still, like i if if it's in my possessions,
00:09:54
Speaker
ah somewhere in the box I'll find it and keep it and put it put it out but like I hope you find it I hope you do yeah I'm sure that if I went through enough of like family photos I'd find like a photo of it somewhere but um but yeah like I thought just you just talking about like that and like you know finding a rock and being young and like going to like a you know, tourist place type of thing, like brought back the memory. I was just like, I haven't thought about this geode in forever. oh my god That's awesome. Yeah.
00:10:22
Speaker
I want to get one of those like eventually. They're so cool. Yeah. So, so, ah going back to the college days with my little rose quartz that I bought.
00:10:35
Speaker
Right. um It was just a little, you know, a tumble, but I was also burning incense at that time. And i was smoking clove cigarettes at that time.
00:10:48
Speaker
ah so edgy. Yeah. So 90s.
00:10:56
Speaker
And i was underage drinking. i was like 19. So was every college student. so And um I would get like really drunk and I would listen to the doors and lie on the floor of my dorm room, staring up, listening to the doors drunk.
00:11:16
Speaker
Hell yeah. With freaking incense burning. Yeah. And I had my little crystal by my incense burn burner thingy. Yeah.
00:11:26
Speaker
And yeah, so I guess I was always either hippie-ish or witch-ish. Yeah. which he Witchy. Hippie-y or witchy. Hippie-ish or witch-ish. Oh my god. Yeah.
00:11:40
Speaker
You also identified the incense that you used to burn as being Nag Champa, right? I think it might have been um just because the smell. i know it was a popular one.
00:11:53
Speaker
It's always been. Yeah. And I don't i don't remember ever seeing a name. I don't remember what I bought it, like if it had a name on it or what it had. But yeah, it's the kind that when you smell it, you're like, this smells like a head shop.
00:12:04
Speaker
Yeah, and like the smell was like when i when I finally ended up getting some Nag Champa like in recent years, it was like the most similar to what I could remember smelling back then. Makes total sense.
00:12:19
Speaker
Yeah. And I'm trying to remember where I even bought that shit. I feel like it was like a grocery, not a grocery store, it was like at a gas station or some crap. Yeah. It was like something i your oh my god near my college campus. Because literally, literally, I was thinking of like, I didn't used to burn incense when I was in like, when I was younger, but like, I had a friend who did.
00:12:43
Speaker
And like, that was the first time I ever like interacted with incense. was like, what the hell is this? Like, the you know, um but then when i first moved to Boston, and i got acquainted with the little old Indian man that ran the corner store next to where I lived.
00:13:02
Speaker
He sold incense, like Indian incense. And his, like, I think the name of the, the incense scent that he sold me was Vatica Yeah.
00:13:17
Speaker
ah I don't know if I've ever seen that since, but like I remember it being something woods and Vatica sounds correct. I don't know. um But the silver incense holder but he sold me is the one that I still use.
00:13:33
Speaker
So was it like cone shaped incense? No, it was stick. Okay. Yeah. So anywho... Anyway, yeah, i'd like, sorry, didn't mean to interrupt that. No, it's fine. I just remember you talking about it being probably Nag Champa and then, like, making the association, and now every time I smell or burn Nag Champa, I think about you.
00:13:52
Speaker
um so I like that. I like that.
00:14:00
Speaker
So yeah, when I look back on those times in college, it really does make me think like, my God, I've always been
Lunar Rituals and Observations
00:14:07
Speaker
a witch. But anyway, getting back to the moon stuff, I remember when, okay, so I bought my house in 1999 when I was 23. And at point during the first year,
00:14:19
Speaker
and at some point during the first handful or so of years that I lived here ah remember there was going to be a blood moon or eclipse or some kind of other you know thing like that that was going to create the red colored moon um and going outside and just like watching it And just always kind of making a point to look up at the sky. If I, especially if I see the moon, I'd be like looking at her constantly. i always call her her.
00:14:52
Speaker
So I do, like I do have literally like, i do have a relationship. Yeah. You know that TikTok sound? That's like, I'm in a relationship with the moon.
00:15:04
Speaker
my god I don't know if I know that one who oh my god I'll need to send it to you it' that that's not the whole of it but that's like the like punchline of the whole spiel that's funny I'm in a relationship with the moon oh
00:15:20
Speaker
anyway so yeah i've always been interested in the you know looking at her especially while i'm driving home at night and she's out and it's bright and then like clear sky and stuff like i always try to look and then in the mornings at work especially like when there's a full moon I always look at it and go, you beautiful bitch.
00:15:49
Speaker
I do. I'll be like pre-tripping my bus in the morning at like five, five 30 in the morning and like see that bright ass full moon up in the sky and be like, you beautiful bitch. Yeah.
00:16:01
Speaker
I'm such a goofball. But yeah. So I don't know. Like, you know, Beyond the general recognition when I see her in the sky and want to stare at her and like, yeah.
00:16:18
Speaker
and And I love pointing her out to my son in the car when we're driving home at night and stuff. I literally always, when I see, when I see her in the sky in the car, um no matter who I'm with, I'm always like, and even if they're talking, I'll interrupt them. I'll be like, look at the moon.
00:16:35
Speaker
Go look at her. Look at her. look. look at her yeah and like if it's oh my god but like one of my favorite things is my my bedroom window that my bed is under i literally do not have any curtains or anything on it right now like oh yeah curtains or blinds or anything i haven't for a long time um okay so my point my point was of being in my bed yeah with no curtains or blinds um when there's a nice full moon out and it's coming straight in the bedroom and like, like illuminating the bed where I'm laying. So I'm like literally laying under the light of the full moon in my bed. times And it's just amazing. I love it. And then when I can see it shining down straight down, like into my bedroom or onto my bed,
00:17:29
Speaker
it's you know somewhere I know that I can if I angle myself correctly can look out the window and see it up there so I try to always do that like always try to like look out my window and be like oh there it is there it is yeah I haven't done like full moon crystal cleansing or charging guess charging would be the thing or moon water ah In a long, long time, though. So I probably need to do that.
00:18:02
Speaker
I need to be cleans yeah cleansing and full moon charging stuff. Was that what you were thinking was some stuff that like would be a way that you would develop a relationship with the moon?
00:18:15
Speaker
maybe not developing it but like just you know are maintaining it maintaining or taking advantage of you know taking advantage yeah of the relationship such negative connotations there right right yeah using her to my advantage does that sound a little less negative i don't even know Anyway, it does not matter.
00:18:41
Speaker
um Because she doesn't have feelings like that. She gives She gives. But, you know, it's like she's there for us, you know? Yeah.
00:18:52
Speaker
no Don't squander it. She's big mystery. soil there's that. But, yeah, so I've been thinking about, like, well, what kind of things can i do to actually, like, develop a relationship with the moon more than what I've yeah got?
00:19:09
Speaker
Definitely honoring the cycles. hmm. Yeah. Yep. Paying attention to them a little more, which I actually I really do actually pay attention to them pretty well.
00:19:24
Speaker
mom Just because from observing it, yeah you know, as many times as I can see it in the sky, um i will know like what it's doing. But um knowing how to use the moon phases.
00:19:39
Speaker
yeah in in uh magic that kind of stuff um yeah because i don't i haven't made a habit of full moon rituals or new moon rituals which i have been wanting to do for a long time but i have not uh so i'm not a great witch because of that but oh shut the fuck up literally every witch says that so no yeah exactly i know so there's like do i care to start making full moon rituals and new moon rituals and stuff maybe but molly got me this amazing book one year called moon magic yeah yeah and like um it's it's basically like let me let me take a quick look because i've got on my phone
00:20:30
Speaker
have the kindle version of that and ah okay so it starts with what well i was gonna make a point that came from the article that we both looked at oh okay about your okay yours like um because you said like using or incorporating the moon phases into your magic but like in this little snippet this is a article we're referencing from the women's health mag but it says part of embodying the moon is simply embracing changes and like in that vein making life choices or like doing like taking action in your life based upon the cycles of the moon so like even like the mundane stuff like it sounds like that is something that like would help your life to go significantly better
00:21:27
Speaker
hmm. Which, I mean, you you won't know until you try, but I have a good feeling about it for you for that, like, particular because of the moon having the cycles and the phases that it does.
00:21:41
Speaker
Yeah. You know, because that's not something that any other planet really has. hmm. so ye Yep, yep, yep. That's true. Yeah. um So that one of the things I was trying to remember about the book you got me, and this is just like, you know, chapter titles, which gives you a general overview of what I'm trying to get at.
00:22:04
Speaker
Harnessing the Positive Energy of the Moon. when to practice moon magic moon phases plus days of the week equal a powerful combination so like it'll tell you like if it's like a sunday and you're in the waning moon or the waxing moon or the you know first quarter or you know whatever that right whatever phase it is then whatever day of the week it is here's what you can do to take advantage of that energy um You know, it gives you like a little spell or ritual that you can do. Yeah. Sounds like there's like a whole lot of intricacies that you can get into based on the information in this book.
00:22:42
Speaker
Yeah. Sounds like it was a really fucking good gift on my part. yeah I mean, when I first looked at it, it just, as everything tends to be um a little overwhelming, like how am I ever going to find time to do this shit? You know what i mean? Yeah. Like it's a lot of information. Yeah. Yeah.
00:23:01
Speaker
Yeah. And like, just, you know, never taking the time to really do any kind of witchcraft practice, like in my day to day life, you know, but I love that I have the reference that when anytime i feel like I need to do it, I've got it there to like reference and I can do whenever I want.
00:23:21
Speaker
So that's awesome. Yeah. So thanks for the book, Molly. <unk> sure I've already said that. Yep. ye You're welcome.
00:23:33
Speaker
yeah Indeed. yeah but there's like so i like this is the part of the reason I was like, i was like, we got to just start like talking about it and like hashing it out because like there's so many options. Well, the funny thing is for the moon, it feels like there's so many options.
00:23:50
Speaker
I don't feel like there's whole lot unless I get super creative for me. hmm. And your rising sign is? My rising sign is Aries.
Embracing Mars Energy
00:24:02
Speaker
Happy Aries season, everyone. Is it Aries season right now? It's Ostara. oh so I didn't know. We're recording this on the spring equinox. That is true.
00:24:13
Speaker
Yeah. So I hope that last week's episode ah was very enjoyable to everyone and everybody had a beautiful, wonderful equinox day. Yay. um But it's Ostara. It's the spring equinox and that's the day that Ares season takes the reins.
00:24:28
Speaker
Nice! Chaos reigns! So Ares ruling planet is Mars. It's Mars.
00:24:39
Speaker
It's Mars. It's the god of war. Yeah. gotta get the arguments. And we're talking to a girl that's got a punching bag in her basement. Yeah.
00:24:51
Speaker
so That was at, like, that was, I mean, okay, it was suggested by the astrologer but I met with last week, or last week, last year. ah But the funny thing is, she made the suggestion, and I literally, like, pointed behind me where it was, like, sitting in the corner.
00:25:06
Speaker
Like, look what I have. Love it. Impact sports, apparently. dude. So, like, that is actually probably one thing that, like, would be like top of the list thing to do is punch the punching bag more.
00:25:25
Speaker
huh Cause I still don't, I don't like, I'm not in the habit. Cause I'm just sort of like, what do I do? Do I put all my wraps on and go down there in my bare feet? Like you gross. I don't know. Like I don't want to put on a sports bra and tennis shoes to go down to the basement and punch a thing.
00:25:39
Speaker
um so it's just, I got to figure out like, cause it's, I'm a Virgo also. it's like i don't know how to be organized about my chaos it's a problem it's a challenge god um but it is one that i think that like probably would benefit me a lot to just allow myself to take out my aggression a lot more than I already do, which is not that much really, to be honest.
00:26:13
Speaker
ah I, yeah,
00:26:18
Speaker
yeah that's, that's actually, you know what? Cause I had this notebook open cause I was going to try to write some notes down before we got started and I didn't think of anything, but I was like, I'm going to leave this here so that I can write notes down as we talk about them so that I can come back to them. So I'm going to do that. I know I could listen back to this episode, but like,
00:26:38
Speaker
After editing, i know I never really feel like doing that again. Yeah, so to look up qualities of Mars. Well, this is the thing is I also was looking at the article okay that we were referencing. Right, right.
00:26:55
Speaker
And so I'm actually I'm just going to like read the whole thing of what it says. So because I haven't like i I've like skimmed it and my brain hasn't fully like wrapped itself around it yet. So it's going it's going reference names that you're not I'm not going to explain because they're just like astrology experts that are were interviewed for the article.
00:27:17
Speaker
Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet, the warrior planet of action. embracing this energy means embodying that sense of initiative, that assertiveness and pioneering leadership.
00:27:29
Speaker
The red planet is all about grit and passion and determination, earth grit and passionate determination. So focusing on independent decision making is really important for you. Aries rising really needs to lean into that ability to say, this is what I want, and I'm going to go after it no matter what.
00:27:49
Speaker
On a more detailed level, try wearing more red or and incorporating anything spicy like cayenne pepper and ginger into your cooking or tea time routine, she suggests, the person, the astrologer.
00:28:01
Speaker
If you're not a fan of spices, try eating or drinking anything that excites the blood, since Mars is known for its action-packed and hot energy. Wow. heard that.
00:28:13
Speaker
punctuation fucking a dude but also like i mean i'm hearing things like spice and action-packed and hot and then i'm just like i mean no wonder i'm such a horny but like horny bitch i was about to say it is your calling to be a porn star because that's what that sounds like no i'm just kidding god no but like no but like for real ah
00:28:45
Speaker
Okay, so the one thing that popped into my head when they were talking about spicy stuff and like, if you don't like spicy stuff, try this, then this, whatever. Cinnamon popped into my head. Cinnamon!
00:28:57
Speaker
And like, how you can get like... What are those? Red Hots? candy Red Hot candies or those fireball like jawbreakers? They're really spicy. They're gross.
00:29:09
Speaker
They're burny. What about that? It's like, I don't even care about the spice of that. Like, they just like, it's like all burn, no like flavor. You don't taste the sweetness? I don't know. The cinnamon flavor? no No. I also don't love cinnamon like that.
00:29:23
Speaker
Okay. I'm like, cinnamon's great for like magic and stuff, but like. Hmm. Like I only use it like sparingly when recipes call for it. Have you ever sprinkled some in your coffee?
00:29:34
Speaker
I don't know if I would like it. Just a little. Like in like not even good enough to make a difference s much, you know? Right. Yeah. i mean like It's a healthy ah spice to have in your in your you know daily usage. Yeah. It's just like I just i just don't like it enough.
00:29:51
Speaker
like it I just feel like it would detract from my enjoyment of my coffee. I also don't drink hot coffee, so Right. True. Like, I feel like the cinnamon goes better in a hot coffee than it would in an iced coffee. Like, I know people do cinnamon iced coffees, but, like,
00:30:06
Speaker
No, I just like, I've never even wanted to like try the cinnamon when I worked at Starbucks and like everybody was like cinnamon syrup. well I'm like, ooh, gross. I want it. Like it's just, it's just, it doesn't appeal to me that it's not because of the heat. It's just, don't know. It's just not my favorite.
00:30:21
Speaker
Like, yeah, no, I mean cinnamon itself isn't really hot, but like they make, but like I do like, are ah do like ginger. ooh ginger. ginger would be excellent. Ginger in like a, in like a fucking anything really, but like in a hot chocolate would be so really good.
00:30:36
Speaker
o and like I mean we've already talked about how much we fucking love horseradish like like we like all the like wasabi but I don't actually I don't like wasabi Probably just because it's like, again, I don't really taste any flavor, just like heat.
00:30:52
Speaker
Do you know that like 90 or more percent of wasabi that you find in the United States is actually just green horseradish? It's not actually really wasabi. It's not even really wasabi. Because it's hard to grow. And I guess you can only grow it in Japan or something.
00:31:10
Speaker
um so like, yeah, it's not really found that commonly around here. but I don't know I mean it just has never appealed to me but again like it's like it's not because I don't like spice it's just because like I don't taste the flavor i just taste like hot I'm like what why what's the point you know i like I like spice but I like them to have flavor so the people who are like I like the extreme hot sauce I'm like eh no um but yeah like all the like non-capsaicin spices I really like
00:31:46
Speaker
like that though that we've just mentioned but also i do like capsaicin it just like well all of it really kicks up my acid reflux so that's fun um but no I do like i do like spices in that regard I've never felt like I I've never felt like the color red was right for me but like i don't know why I've always been wrong about that hmm you know Well, it doesn't have to be that bright fire engine red.
00:32:18
Speaker
no I know. But like that dark burgundy kind of red that you love. Yeah, you know. Yeah, I do like that. But like but I mean, like for clothes for myself, I've never been pulled to it.
00:32:29
Speaker
But that's also because I've never been pulled to like any colors. You definitely have at least one burgundy kind of colored dress. Yeah, I have like the rust colored yeah yeah okay dress and then i have the like more burgundy one that was that i wore to sierra like to be in sierra's wedding right party um so but that was because it was her color that she chose right those are the two it's not a dress yeah it's not a dress that i would have like picked out for myself but again that's mainly because i am a goth bitch mm-hmm
00:33:02
Speaker
And I know red is goth, but like, you know, guess, you know what? i was never more myself than when I dyed my hair red. Ooh. I mean, that was also a very weird time of my life, but like.
00:33:15
Speaker
That red was really cool on you. That red was fucking fire, literally. There you go You got to have mars hair. Mars hair.
00:33:26
Speaker
yeah it was good. i like, i wish there wasn't so much work to keep up with because like, it was beautiful. I spent a good, like half a year with it. Like just whenever I would re-dye it, it was just increasingly darker shades.
00:33:41
Speaker
But that initial bright red that I did was like, primo. ah Perfect. um One of the things that stood out to me though, in this, in this little snippet from the article, yeah which like,
00:33:56
Speaker
It made me chuckle because I feel like it's just going to be, you know, more and more of the ways that we clash and butt heads. Who, you and Yes.
00:34:07
Speaker
Okay. Because here it says, focusing on independent decision making is really important for me. Mm-hmm. that whole thing that we struggle with where i never want input unless I'm specifically asking for it. Mm-hmm.
00:34:25
Speaker
I think is coming from this like trait, this characteristic for me. It's like, I'm, I'm very much the kind of person who needs to be independently solving things and making decisions and not really like trying to explore all options, but just like knowing what i want.
00:34:48
Speaker
Again, it says, yeah, I, this is what I want and I'm going to go after it. Literally verbatim. And so like that decisiveness.
00:35:00
Speaker
Ooh, is that a way that we're opposites again? i don't know. Cause you're so indecisive being a Libra. Yeah. And I'm so decisive being an Aries rising.
00:35:12
Speaker
but to
00:35:15
Speaker
Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I think so. I think it is. It's very, very possible. yeah But yeah, no, like it's um the decisiveness, but also like impatience at indecisiveness. Cause I do get really impatient when people are like, i don't know.
00:35:35
Speaker
You're not the only one. You're not the only one. a lot of people are, that I know are like that. And I'm just like, Oh my God, come on.
00:35:47
Speaker
One of the other aspects that I recall being mentioned, I cannot remember where, in all the things that we like, you know, saw one time on the internet was also paying close attention to the sign that our ruling planet is in and not necessarily like working with or developing a relationship with that sign, but like, well, actually, I'm not even sure then in that case, but like the, um,
00:36:19
Speaker
where that sign is or where the planet is and like what the sign is and what the house is, i think are like, not just,
00:36:31
Speaker
I think there's like significance to them in your birth chart. Like that there's like more significance than other, other pieces of the birth chart to that. So like your moon being in Pisces. Yeah.
00:36:46
Speaker
Pisces being, what is it? What's the house for you? that your eighth house? don't know. Let me look. I think it's your eighth house. Hold on. Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Sag, Cap, Aquarius.
00:37:03
Speaker
Yeah. Pisces is your eighth house. How do you determine that? Because Cancer is your starting point. Cancer being your rising sign is your starting point for houses.
00:37:16
Speaker
So does that mean that's in the first Cancer's the first house. Cancer's your first house. And you count from there in the same order that the signs are already in. Okay. I didn't realize that's how you did it. yeah So you're talking about my moon?
00:37:32
Speaker
Yeah, your moon being in Pisces, which is your eighth house. It's actually ninth. ninth I have nothing nothing in the eighth house. I feel like everything program does it differently because I know that sometimes they do them by degrees.
00:37:48
Speaker
ah Like what degree you were born at, like your ascendant is at. I Chani recently touched on this, that she doesn't go by that. She just goes by like the order.
00:38:04
Speaker
and I think that's an easier way to do it. Personally, I am down with that. But yeah, I don't know why i brought it up because I don't know what to say about it.
00:38:14
Speaker
You know? My moon is in the eighth house, which means what?
00:38:21
Speaker
Well, the eighth house is the house of sex, death, and taxes. Which is crazy. um yeah The eighth house like...
00:38:34
Speaker
like but the night i don't oh this says ninth house though so i don't know don't know like i'm i'm going by eighth house based on like that's a my own understanding of it and be channy like reinforced it so i'm just sticking with that um because i don't know and don't understand how the degrees are supposed to work but point being i don't know i don't know how to draw a connection between those things But I can say my Mars is in Gemini, which is my third house.
00:39:07
Speaker
Nice. And yeah I don't I think I'll probably have to cut out that portion because I was like, I really don't know how to draw those connections. Like, it's it's not that I don't think that the point has a point.
00:39:20
Speaker
It's that I don't know enough about astrology to like confidently make the point. Plus, you were saying the sign that you're that the planet... Don't lick my mouth!
00:39:32
Speaker
Oh, God, that's gross. Oh, God. The sign that the planet is in... She, like, licked inside of my lip.
00:39:41
Speaker
I'm not into that. No, thanks. love the The sign that your ruling planet is in... For like Mars, and it might be months and months in one sign, whereas the moon is like constantly moving and through signs.
00:39:57
Speaker
No, I know. um But also like, it's not just like about like, where it it currently is, but like, you know,
00:40:08
Speaker
what kind of like the significance pisces energy for you and maybe there's something to embodying the characteristics of pisces as well you know or at least just like doing more homage to it Yeah.
00:40:29
Speaker
So I just listened to the mystical myth, misfits, mystical podcast, um, where she was, they were doing the moon signs and like, they finally got around to the Pisces.
00:40:44
Speaker
And I listened to that this morning and I was like, Oh wow, that's really interesting. yeah. Pisces moon people are like really emotional and like also very creative and yeah like dreamy or like they yeah or like they're very uh they engage in a lot of daydreaming and things like that yeah they are like very that people people love to joke that like Aquarius is the alien alien
00:41:17
Speaker
Of the Zodiac, but I personally think Pisces is the alien. I think that's what they said in that podcast. Like, yeah, like, I think that I got that idea from them, too. But like, you know, like more so that um Aquarius is the robot of the Zodiac signs and Pisces is the alien. and Yeah. um Because, yeah, they're just like so like floaty.
00:41:40
Speaker
um Like the... They're like the soft emo boy, you know? They're space cadets. Space cadets.
00:41:51
Speaker
I love space cadets. Oh, they're so fun. But yeah, like absolutely. Like very dreamy, very emotional.
00:42:03
Speaker
um You know, just very soft. Super sensitive. Super sensitive. And that's a moon. That's very moon. That's moony too. Mm-hmm. um is soft and sensitive for sure.
00:42:17
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. yeah So when I think about, you know, it's it's just really funny how all these years I never paid any attention to like anything but the Libra, you know, part of my chart.
Astrology's Depth and Complexity
00:42:29
Speaker
And like, not that I looked at charts ever, but you know, you read. Yeah. You, you, you think about. um read your son. Yeah. on horoscope everyone like my face again oh my god like my mouth yeah yeah like everyone just thinks like the entirety of your personality is summed up in your sun sign which is like so the opposite of the truth right right yeah and that however there's i i do resonate with a lot of libra qualities for sure oh yeah yeah but i think you have like a lot of air qualities overarchingly like i can't remember how i mean you do have a libra stellium
00:43:08
Speaker
Yes, I do. that's like That's like, I think, the only stellium that you have. I don't know. I think there's one other one. am not sure. so if i i remember looking. I look at the pattern app again, the other one is potentially um the one that's after Libra is Scorpio.
00:43:29
Speaker
Yes. It looks like there's three in there. i see your south node and I don't know what the other symbol is. And then there's the VX one that's right on the line, but it's like just inside. yeah that's your vertex.
00:43:47
Speaker
um And then the other one that you don't know is I want to look at your... I'm going to look at it. It's Uranus. Uranus, okay. So those three are in Scorpio for me. Yeah.
00:44:01
Speaker
I would love to learn more about the vertex and the anti-vertex. But yeah. Yeah, Libra and Scorpio. yeah Y'all.
00:44:11
Speaker
We were talking about Aries placements, which have Chiron and Jupiter. Yes. In the 10th house. Yes. And that that was the 10th house is a big deal for what's going on with B like this month.
00:44:31
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Isn't that interesting? Like, what the hell? water what am I meant to do Molly what am I meant to do i meant to heal something and um and make it more prominent yeah it has to do with public um life persona your you know career um your who's name what do you call it the way people view you the way like public image yeah public image reputation all that stuff perfect
00:45:04
Speaker
and and all And how they relate to my vocation or my career and stuff like that. I don't feel like I have big problems with that. So I'm not sure what the Chiron situation is where I'm wounded there. i don't really know.
00:45:19
Speaker
Well, I think that, I don't know. Like, ah feel like Chiron is something that is like, I know a lot about my own Chiron because I've done a lot of like study on it.
00:45:32
Speaker
Mm-hmm. But I don't feel qualified to make any sort of pronouncements about what Chiron specifically means for you.
00:45:46
Speaker
i would love for you to do ah do a astrology sesh with someone. Yeah. I know. I would like to probably do the one that you did because she was so good.
00:46:01
Speaker
Yeah. but the um if you want the If you want to have her talk about your Chiron, the shadow work reading is the one that would touch that.
00:46:15
Speaker
As well as would touch what's going on about your eighth house, which she might also be able to then explain to you why sometimes it's eighth house, sometimes it's ninth house for your but where your Pisces is. like Like I really...
00:46:33
Speaker
i think that's I think it's probably just like a particular astrologer's discretion whether they want to follow like the degrees versus if your rising sign is in this sign, you just follow the signs from there.
00:46:49
Speaker
i choose to do that for myself because I am, it's just like simpler. And also because, again, Chani backed that up. And I was like, okay, that's that's what I want to do too. But um
00:47:06
Speaker
yeah, I know that too, like there I know that there being proximity to your Jupiter means there's wounds pertaining to like the things that Jupiter symbolizes with the Chiron.
00:47:19
Speaker
I just don't know what that means. Like I don't know what it means for you. I just know that, you know, I know that that it impacts it. Hmm. Because of the fact that my Chiron is in the same sign as my moon.
00:47:33
Speaker
And so that has, you know, impacted my relationship with mother figures.
00:47:43
Speaker
Weird that our Chirons directly point at each other. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Because your Chiron being in Aries is my rising sign. My Chiron being close to the moon is a problem. Yeah.
00:47:59
Speaker
So our Chirons are like, they're like Spider-Man memeing.
00:48:05
Speaker
Silly. so silly.
00:48:10
Speaker
Anyway. All this to say, there's so much about astrology that you could dig into and and look at and interpret and dissect. And yeah ah this was supposed to be about ruling planets and it became about everything, but...
00:48:29
Speaker
i I do feel good, though, about like the at least couple of things that i thought of to incorporate more of in my life. Because like, it's not just about magic, but just like about my daily life.
00:48:42
Speaker
Your daily life, too. Embrace red more, Molly. I guess I gotta. I don't know why I never really like, ah so I don't know. Maybe I just thought it was like gaudy.
00:48:56
Speaker
You had red nail polish or some kind of reddish looking nail polish not too long ago. And I was like so excited about it. I'm trying to think what when that was. You know, it had to be one of the moon cat colors.
00:49:09
Speaker
Was it the was it like the dark, dark, almost black red? Maybe. OK, well, yeah, I have liked like having right red nail polish.
00:49:19
Speaker
Like when I was younger, i liked that like dark red color for sure. Even though, you know, it was labeled as like, that's like a grown-up color. hey yeah It was like, I'm 12.
00:49:37
Speaker
oh But also punching bag. Yes. i got a punch i gotta to punch more things. the Take out your anger, like express your anger more.
00:49:50
Speaker
like just in general yeah just like yell and like when you're angry don't be afraid to like express it or like let it out yeah I'm trying to I've been trying to i think I know that I I know I told you about this that's just like listen like anger is like my default reactionary emotion and I'm so used to like not acknowledging it yeah or suppressing it but like I remember telling you like I don't want you to get concerned when I say that I'm, when something's making me angry, because it's like literally everything makes me angry. So like,
00:50:30
Speaker
so like literally it's just me being like, i am experiencing this emotion. Therefore I'm going to step back before I like say something I don't mean. i think, I think you're right though. Like for all that I feel like i maybe i'm too angry.
00:50:45
Speaker
and don't think I'm outwardly angry enough. Maybe not. Yeah. People don't. Yeah. People don't have a clue. We were just talking about this earlier today. People don't have a clue until you tell them straight up.
00:50:58
Speaker
hu You know? so it's like, yeah, people have definitely read my energy for sure. Especially like the intense, like I will kick your ass energy. um But like, I feel like because I'm having these emotions, I feel like they must be so obvious, but like, no. Hmm.
00:51:16
Speaker
That's like so not the case. Like verbalize things more is maybe the lesson. Verbalize your emotions more. Me?
00:51:27
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, I guess it's, yeah, that's kind of like an obvious one I should have thought of. Yeah. Yeah. yeah Especially your sad boy emotions because your Pisces moon.
00:51:40
Speaker
Yeah. Anyway, this has been Astrology with the Bitches.
00:51:50
Speaker
With the Soulpod Bitches. The Soulpod Bitches. and
00:51:56
Speaker
Soul Bitches. I had this daydream once of like calling ourselves like the Soulpod Squad or the Soul Squad. Hmm.
Community and Reflection
00:52:09
Speaker
That's interesting. The pod squad. pod squad. but's But that's like way too vague because every podcast is a pod squad of their own. Right, right, right.
00:52:21

Yeah. Oh my gosh. um The soul pod squad. Yeah. We may have to come back to this once we have spent a good amount of time implementing ah these ideas.
