The New Moon at 24° Gemini lands in your 2nd house — the house of income, resources, values, and what you believe you deserve. The pruning is financial and philosophical at the same time. Mercury retrograding back through this zone means old money patterns and old stories about self-worth are coming back through for review.

The New Moon at 24° Gemini lands in your 6th house — the house of daily work, routines, health, service, and the discipline that builds over time.

The New Moon at 24° Gemini lands in your 12th house — the house of hidden things, solitude, spiritual work, and what operates beneath the surface. The seed being planted is invisible, private, subterranean. Mercury retrograding back through your 1st means what gets seeded in the hidden now will surface into identity later. Jupiter spent a full year in your 1st expanding who you are. The work done in the 12th over the next 70 days feeds directly into what emerges when Mercury clears shadow in August.

The New Moon at 24° Gemini lands in your 4th house — the house of home, family, roots, ancestral patterns, and the private emotional foundation everything else is built on. This is the basement. The gardener is working underground on the oldest dead leaves — the structures that have been protecting the trunk since the beginning.

The New Moon at 24° Gemini lands in your 3rd house — the house of voice, writing, local movement, and the way your mind moves through the world. The gardener is trimming how you think and what you say. Mercury retrograding back through this same territory means the words you plant now get reviewed before they fully land. Something you've been circling around saying is exactly what this lunation is asking you to seed. The 70-day Mercury in Cancer arc started June 1st.

The New Moon at 24° Gemini lands in your 11th house — the house of community, audience, long-term vision, and the people who show up for your work. The pruning is happening in your network. Venus just crossed into your 1st house in Jupiter's bounds — she is beautifying your sign before Jupiter arrives for a full year-long stay.

This is the most strategically significant New Moon Leo Rising has had in over a decade.Takeaways:New Moon at 24° Gemini activates your 11th house of community, audience, and long-term goalsVenus just entered your 1st house preparing Jupiter's year-long stay in LeoThe pruning is in your network — what communities and platforms are actually aligned with where you're goingJupiter closing his year in your 12th means the hidden work now seeds into public community buildingGut punch question: Which connections in your network are you maintaining out of habit rather than genuine alignment?Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

The New Moon at 24° Gemini lands in your 7th house — the house of partnerships, significant one-on-one relationships, and the people who mirror you most directly. The gardener is trimming the relationship field. What alliances are being reset, what contracts need a second look. Mercury retrograding back through your 8th means the intimacy and shared resource layer of those partnerships gets examined before the seeds take root. Jupiter spent a year in your 8th — transformation through shared resources and deep entanglement. The partnerships being seeded now emerge from that excavation.Takeaways:New Moon at 24° Gemini activates your 7th house of partnerships, contracts, and significant relationshipsMercury retrogrades back through your 8th — the intimacy layer of partnerships gets examinedThe pruning is in the relationship field — what alliances are actually aligned going forwardJupiter closing his year in your 8th means deep transformation now seeds into partnership structureGut punch question: What are you bringing into partnership that the other person never actually asked for?Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Venus is at 29° Cancer today. The anaretic degree. The last breath of water before the door opens. And at that same critical degree — 29° Aries — Chiron is waiting. The square is exact. Two planets at the edge of leaving, both in the bounds of Saturn, both holding the tension of what has not yet been healed before the crossing. Saturn is not a background player here. Saturn is standing at the door. This is the wound at the coronation gate. Venus made a vow with Saturn in January 2025 at the North Node in Pisces. She has been traveling the full zodiac ever since. Humbled at the South Node in Virgo. Purified. She walked Uranus across the threshold into Gemini. She met Jupiter at 25° Cancer — the lucky day, the gift deposited. And now she stands at 29° facing Chiron under Saturn's watch, the same Saturn she made the vow with at the start. The wound Chiron is holding is not random — hurt feelings, money matters, the close personal relationships where the tenderness still lives. Misunderstandings can be cleared today but only if you stay open and willing to face what's actually there. The Taurus Moon sextiles Mercury then conjuncts Mars — the channel between heart and mind is wide open, the courage is present, the question is whether you direct it with wisdom or meet opposition. Saturn is asking one question at this threshold. Are you ready to walk through? Leo is on the other side. Know thyself. Balance your energy.TAKEAWAYSVenus at 29° Cancer is at the anaretic degree — the last critical degree of the sign, a point of urgency and completion before a major shift, squaring Chiron at 29° Aries in an exact aspect.Both Venus and Chiron are in the bounds of Saturn, making Saturn the gatekeeper of this threshold — not blocking the door but requiring accountability before Venus enters Leo.Venus made a vow with Saturn at the North Node in Pisces in January 2025 — today's square to Chiron under Saturn's watch is the full-circle moment of that arc, the last test before the coronation.The Taurus Moon sextiles Mercury in Cancer opening a clear channel between the heart and the mind — feelings and thoughts can be expressed with both clarity and compassion today.The Moon then conjuncts Mars in Taurus — Mars is in detriment in fixed earth but the Moon is in her exaltation, making her the stronger force; let the groundedness direct the energy and others follow, misdirect it and you meet resistance.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Raymond Ray grew up in Bellwood Illinois, raised by his grandparents after both parents battled substance abuse. His grandfather was a Baptist pastor for over 20 years. He played drums in the choir. He never felt it. What he did feel was numbers — he memorized everybody's birthday, everybody's phone number, every age in the family without trying. That affinity led him to numerology and eventually to teaching it live on TikTok to thousands. This conversation covers how numerology actually works — the five core numbers, the difference between the Pythagorean and Chaldean systems, karmic debt numbers 13 14 16 and 19, the box of traits, personal years, and what the numbers missing from your name reveal about what was missing in your upbringing. Raymond breaks down every number one through nine as a family story — father mother child grandparents legacy completion. He also explains why he adds up birthdays four different ways and what each calculation reveals at a different vibration. Two systems of divination, one conversation. Know thyself. Balance your energy.TAKEAWAYSNumerology uses your birth date and full name at birth to reveal five core numbers — life path, birthday, expression, soul urge, and personality — each describing a different layer of who you are and what you're here to learn.The Pythagorean system is used for the full birth name and the Chaldean system for nicknames, aliases, and name changes — Raymond uses both together to get a fuller picture in every reading.Karmic debt numbers 13, 14, 16, and 19 carry specific lessons that repeat until resolved — if your life path or other core numbers reduce to one of these, the double digit matters as much as the single digit.The box of traits maps every letter in your name to a number grid — numbers with the highest count show your strengths, missing numbers reveal karmic lessons and what energies were absent in your upbringing.Your personal year is calculated by adding your birth month and day to the current year — it runs in nine-year cycles and tells you what kind of energy is available to build, release, or transform in any given year.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Three planets. Three water signs. One sacred triangle. Mars in Scorpio cuts deep — fixed water, no staying in the shallows. Saturn retrograde in Pisces gives those cuts karmic weight and asks you to build the framework within, not without. Jupiter exalted in Cancer in his own bounds holds the whole thing together — the greater benefic at full power, expanding only what has soul integrity. This is not luck. This is the reward of emotional honesty. Mars and Saturn are exchanging bounds, trading disciplines — Mars gains endurance, Saturn gains courage. The grand trine is a current. The question is whether you're moving with it or swimming against it. Reflection questions for your Scorpio, Pisces, and Cancer houses. What truth have you been avoiding that's ready to surface? What emotional pattern are you finally ready to give structure and form to? What long-held dream finally has the roots and integrity to grow? If your emotions were a river, what would happen if you removed the dam? Know thyself. Balance your energy.TAKEAWAYSMars in Scorpio, Saturn retrograde in Pisces, and Jupiter exalted in Cancer form a grand water trine — a trinity of emotional power, karmic structure, and expansive faith working in harmony.Mars and Saturn are exchanging bounds — Mars in Saturn's bounds in Scorpio, Saturn in Mars's bounds in Pisces — meaning they are trading disciplines, with Mars gaining endurance and Saturn gaining courage.Jupiter exalted in Cancer in his own bounds is the focal point of the trine — the greater benefic at full strength, expanding only what is emotionally honest and spiritually sound.Saturn retrograde in Pisces points the work inward — the framework that needs restructuring is the one inside you, and old emotional patterns dissolve through understanding rather than struggle.Mercury in detriment in Sagittarius opposing Uranus connects directly to the trine — getting emotions into honest flow may be the very thing that shifts the mind and enables liberation from what feels comfortable but isn't working.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Two signs. Two sets of questions. Sagittarius fire asks if the belief system still serves your growth — or if you're performing enlightenment for an audience that includes yourself. Scorpio water goes underneath. What are you afraid of beneath the philosophy? Where have you used big ideas to avoid feeling small ones? What needs to die for real transformation to happen? These are not rhetorical questions. Know thyself. Balance your energy.TAKEAWAYSSagittarius energy governs belief systems, philosophy, and spiritual pursuit — the fire question is whether your practice still carries heat or has become performance.Scorpio energy governs depth, fear, and transformation — the water questions go beneath the belief to what the belief might be protecting you from feeling.Using philosophy to avoid emotion is one of the most sophisticated forms of avoidance — Sagittarius and Scorpio together expose it.Authentic spiritual practice requires periodic death — beliefs that no longer serve transformation have to be released, not just updated.Living your truth and performing enlightenment can look identical from the outside. Only you know which one is happening.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Venus in Pisces gave you the dream. Exalted, beautiful, limitless. Then she moved into Virgo and Virgo asked the only question that matters — does this actually work? Does this actually serve you? The fantasy met practical limitation. The vision required unglamorous work. Not the romantic kind. Not the kind that looks good. The kind that gets it done. Know thyself. Balance your energy.TAKEAWAYSVenus exalted in Pisces operates at her most visionary — boundless, romantic, and imaginative, she sees the ideal form of love, beauty, and desire.Venus in Virgo is in her fall — the dream gets handed to the editor, and Virgo asks whether the vision actually functions in the real world.The move from Pisces to Virgo is the move from fantasy to form — the same energy that inspired the vision now has to do the unglamorous work of making it real.Virgo's gift is discernment — not criticism for its own sake, but the practical intelligence that separates what serves you from what just looks good.The exaltation and the fall are not opposites — they are two phases of the same creative process. Vision without work stays a dream. Work without vision stays empty.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

A square is 90°. A square is tension. A square is a crisis point that demands action — you cannot sit on it, you have to get up and do something. And fixed energy — Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius, Taurus — that's the energy that actually needs a crisis to move. Without the pressure it stays comfortable. And if your sun is Gemini but you've got four planets in fixed signs, don't let that air energy fool you. The Gemini talks about it. Goes right back to the same situation. Complains about the devil it knows. The fixed stellium is what's actually running things. Know thyself. Balance your energy.TAKEAWAYSA square is a 90° aspect representing tension, crisis, and the demand for action — it is the aspect that forces resolution because sitting still is no longer an option.Fixed signs — Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius, and Taurus — require a crisis point to initiate change because their natural energy is to hold position, maintain, and resist movement until the pressure becomes undeniable.Your sun sign is not the whole story — if you have a stellium in fixed signs, planets on fixed angles, or your moon in a fixed sign, that energy is running the chart regardless of what your sun sign says.A Gemini sun with heavy fixed sign energy can produce someone who talks about the problem fluently but returns to the same situation repeatedly — the air gives you the words, the fixed energy keeps you in place.Knowing where your fixed energy falls in the chart tells you where you need the most pressure to finally move — and where you've been comfortable with the devil you know.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Sagittarius. Gemini. Virgo. Pisces. Pull up the charts of the most notorious serial killers in history and the mutable signs keep showing up. This episode goes deep — Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, The Boston Strangler, Son of Sam, the Atlanta Child Murders, and more. Birth charts, firdaria timing, zodiacal releasing, Saturn returns, and the moments when everything activated. Why did Ramirez go on a killing streak in 1985? Why did Dahmer stop for nine years? Why did the Grim Sleeper go dormant for 14 years and then start again? The timing is in the chart. The theory — mutable signs are double-bodied signs, transferring energy, always between seasons, always assimilating. Three astrologers. One dark episode. Know thyself. Balance your energy.TAKEAWAYSMutable signs — Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces — are statistically overrepresented among notable serial killers, and Hellenistic astrology describes them as double-bodied signs, suggesting a split between two natures operating in the same body.Moon-Mars conjunctions appear repeatedly across these charts — the Moon governs emotional reaction and Mars governs aggression and instinct, and when they merge the threshold between feeling and acting can collapse under stress.Firdaria timing reveals when planetary periods activated killing sprees — Richard Ramirez began his 1985 streak entering a Venus period with Jupiter and Venus in sextile, Dahmer's first kill landed at the end of a Mars period, and the Grim Sleeper's 14-year dormancy maps directly onto a Saturn cycle.Childhood trauma appears in almost every chart — locked in basements, neglect, head injuries before age six, witnessing violence, absent fathers, and psychologically abusive mothers all show up in the fourth house signatures of these individuals.Venus in the eighth house, Mars in the twelfth, and Saturn in the fourth are recurring placements — intimacy tied to death, hidden aggression, and foundational trauma built into the emotional structure from the beginning.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Mercury cleared Saturn's wall and landed in the heart of the 3 of Cups. The celebration. The party you earned after doing the hard thing. The two sphinxes — Venus and Jupiter — are still in Cancer, still warm from their conjunction two days ago. The lucky day has passed but the gift is still in the room. Now the Moon moves from the wound at Chiron at 29° Aries across the threshold into Taurus — her exaltation, her power position, fixed earth. And from that grounded place she can finally see clearly what the fire could not show you. Which sphinx were you serving? The love or the excess? The heart's true desire or the distraction of the options? The exalted Moon in Taurus is the witness. By evening she squares retrograde Pluto in Aquarius and the truth surfaces — not from wound, from strength. Know Thyself.

Venus in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius is not asking you to suffer through it. It's asking you to evolve. Accept that change is happening. Speak truth with courage, not cruelty. Lead your own transformation instead of waiting for someone else to force it. Give space without going cold. Reclaim your voice if you silenced it. Let go gracefully when it's time. What not to do is just as clear — don't control out of fear, don't equate drama with depth, don't weaponize vulnerability, don't ignore the money and power underneath the emotion, and don't cling to what's already releasing. Pluto in Aquarius is redefining connection itself — how we love, how we relate, how we build. Venus reminds us that progress without compassion is collapse in disguise. Know thyself. Balance your energy.TAKEAWAYSVenus in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius demands evolution in how you relate to control, attachment, and truth — the transit won't let old patterns survive unchanged.The path through is courage without cruelty — speaking truth, leading your own transformation, and releasing gracefully rather than waiting to be forced out.Common pitfalls under this energy include controlling out of fear, mistaking emotional drama for emotional depth, and using vulnerability as a weapon rather than a bridge.Pluto in Aquarius is restructuring the architecture of connection — redefining not just individual relationships but the systems and structures through which we relate collectively.Venus is the reminder that transformation without compassion is not progress — it's just a different kind of collapse.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Jupiter isn't just expansion and luck. Jupiter is the guru. The god. The benevolent force sitting in an exalted position, reaching down and pulling you up — not pushing you down. The opportunity for upliftment, not oppression. And when Jupiter shows up through release, through something ending or leaving, the lesson and the wisdom are in there too if you're looking for them. The wizard is in the letting go. Know thyself. Balance your energy.TAKEAWAYSJupiter carries the archetype of the guru or god — a benevolent, exalted force that offers upliftment rather than pressure or oppression.Jupiter transits and placements open doors from above — opportunities that arrive through grace, expansion, and the willingness to receive.Even Jupiter-ruled releases and endings carry teaching — the lesson and the wisdom are extractable if you're looking for them in the experience.Jupiter is a teacher as much as a benefic — the gift is sometimes the growth that comes through what you had to let go of.Upliftment requires release — you cannot be pulled up while holding onto what keeps you grounded in the old position.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Truth telling doesn't arrive clean. It lands on the shame that's been living underneath the mask — the vulnerable, imperfect reality you've been presenting as something else. Shame doesn't argue with you. It just repeats itself until you accept it as fact. The facade wasn't built to deceive others. It was built to protect you from having to feel that. Know thyself. Balance your energy.TAKEAWAYSThe masks we present to the world are built on top of shame — truth telling exposes the vulnerable reality underneath and triggers defensiveness as a protective response.Shame operates through repetition — tell yourself something long enough and the lie becomes indistinguishable from belief.Defensiveness in the face of truth is not stubbornness — it's the ego protecting a wound it isn't ready to examine.Unmasking is not about tearing down — it's about having the courage to let the imperfect reality be seen without collapsing from it.Genuine transformation requires contact with what's actually true, not the version that's been rehearsed long enough to feel real.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Retrograde Saturn in Pisces is positioned in its own bounds, directly opposing from across the zodiac. That's not a soft transit. That's a karmic audit with no exits. It dissolves the fantasies, exposes the victim narratives, collapses the spiritual bypassing. The temptation is to retreat — into nostalgia, into confusion, into the narcotic pull of not knowing. That's the Pisces trap. Virgo on the other side holds the scalpel. The eclipse doesn't ask you to choose surrender or precision. It asks you to use Virgo's focus to cut through Piscean illusion — not for perfectionism's sake, but to find what's actually true. Know thyself. Balance your energy.TAKEAWAYSRetrograde Saturn in Pisces positioned in its own bounds is operating at full karmic authority — this is Saturn auditing the spiritual life with no shortcuts available.Saturn in Pisces specifically targets fantasy, victim narratives, and spiritual bypassing — the places where confusion has been used as a refuge.The temptation during this transit is retreat — into nostalgia, fog, or the comfort of not having to be clear.The Virgo-Pisces opposition creates a central tension between surgical precision and surrender — the eclipse demands both, not a choice between them.Virgo's analytical focus applied to Piscean territory is the path through — discernment in service of genuine spiritual clarity, not perfectionism.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Jupiter and Venus meet at 25° Cancer — the two benefics, both exalted, one degree away from where Mercury will station retrograde on June 29th. Paul introduces the two sphinx framework. Venus is the light sphinx — beauty desire the heart's true longing what you love. Jupiter is the dark sphinx — expansion abundance but also excess too many options too much celebration. The charioteer holds both reins. Are you feeding love or are you feeding excess? The three of cups in reverse is the warning — celebrating too soon cashing a check before it hits the mailbox dormant talents going unused. Between the 7th and the 16th ask yourself one question. Are you celebrating what you built or using celebration to avoid finishing what you started? Know thyself and balance your energy.Takeaways:Venus conjunct Jupiter at 25° Cancer brings both benefics exalted to the same degree — a genuinely fortunate alignmentThe two sphinx framework — Venus is what you love Jupiter is what you think you want — both pulling at the same time25 reduces to 7 in numerology — the number of rest and the chariot — the mind must be present enough to feel the differenceThree of cups in reverse warns against premature celebration excess pleasure seeking and dormant talents going unusedMercury retrograde at 26° Cancer will spend weeks asking whether you were present enough to receive what this conjunction offeredLinks referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

The public pushes back on BB's beliefs. She says that's what makes it fun. Hold my beer. The adversary is the coach. Then Paul maps the next chapter — progressed moon leaving the second house and entering the third around September 29th. Communication siblings short distance travel. Values being shared on the road. Venus ruling the third house sitting in the 10th of foreign lands. The teaching is going somewhere.

Paul's entry into astrology was actually evolutionary astrology — soul based astrology. He doesn't lead with it because most people come asking will I get the job not what did my soul choose before incarnating. Then BB says go ahead give me a taste. Uranus in Scorpio in the 9th house — lifetimes of trauma around belief systems nobody recognized or celebrated. South node in the 4th house next to the moon — family didn't approve of who she deeply bonded with. North node in the 10th — she had to leave her birth family and go out in the world to build her own. Ascendant at 29 degrees critical degree — it's critical to heal the family line. Venus in Sagittarius in the 10th — what you love and value put publicly. How has that been received? Know thyself and balance your energy.Takeaways:Evolutionary astrology starts with Pluto and reads the chart as a map of the soul's journey across multiple lifetimesUranus in the 9th house points to lifetimes of trauma around belief systems that were not recognized or acceptedSouth node conjunct the moon in the 4th house suggests family disapproval of deep bonds across multiple lifetimesNorth node in the 10th house means leaving the birth family and building your own in the world is the soul's actual assignmentVenus in Sagittarius in the 10th house puts what you love and value publicly — and the public pressure that comes with that is written right there in the chartBB's Tiktok BB's Facebook.

What has Reiki actually done for BB? It taught her the difference between giving her own energy and becoming a channel for something infinite. As long as she gets her ego out of the way the energy comes through unpolluted. Then Paul reveals something most people don't know — why he called it I Am Astrology Readings. Moses asked the burning bush who are you. The answer was I AM. Paul believes we are all individual pieces of God. When he gives a reading he's introducing you to your I AM. Then BB asks about the 12 disciples and the 12 zodiac signs. Paul pulls up the Last Supper and walks through every sign hidden in plain sight. The sun of God moving through the zodiac. If you have a therapist and an astrologer you can probably make it through life pretty good. Know thyself and balance your energy.Takeaways:Becoming a channel for divine energy means the healing doesn't deplete you — infinite source flows through not from youGetting the ego out of the way allows whatever someone actually needs to come through unpolluted by your agendaI Am Astrology Readings is named after Moses and the burning bush — a reading is an introduction to your own I AMThe Last Supper is the sun of God moving through the 12 signs of the zodiac hidden in plain sightA good therapist and a good astrologer working together cover both the psychological and the cosmic — that's a powerful combinationBB's Tiktok BB's Facebook.

Who do you pick to be your treasurer? The most trusted person. Jesus fed the bread to Judas knowing exactly what would happen next. BB says Jesus and Satan are the same — Satan is the shadow of Jesus. Jesus used his own shadow to get himself to his fate. And Judas loved Jesus. That's why he could be trusted to do what needed to be done. Sometimes we are Jesus and sometimes we are Judas. Both are necessary. The betrayal is the redirect. The adversary is the coach.

BB has close deep relationships that split. Then the people go their way and their lives vastly improve. Most of them come back eventually. She realized it's a contract. She projects what people need to see. The trigger is spirit knocking on your wound saying right here this is where the work is. Every trigger is always positive. The trigger is the guru. Paul asks how do you not take the lashing out personally. Years of practice. Then Mars in the 9th house — both Paul and BB share it. Words that cut and sever or heal. Brandelyn literally means woman who wields sword and beautiful healer. The church hurt you first so you built a church for people the church hurt.

BB's Pluto is in Libra in the 8th house. In evolutionary astrology that's the soul. Deep bonded relationships shared assets and transformation are where the real work lives. In 2016 Pluto activated — Reiki crystals the occult all started opening up. She named her church the Unchurch. Unlimited unconditional unbiased. Then she opened a crystal shop right in the heart of the Bible Belt. Paul asks — do you think you're an antagonist? She says I'm a disruptor. Then the teaching that ties it all together.

BB thought she was a Sagittarius. Paul pulls up the secondary progression chart and says not exactly — for 29 years you've been working on Capricorn energy. The devil card in tarot. Fighting the devil for 29 years. And on her birthday she's about to shift into Aquarius. The star card. The fight is over. Then the progressed moon — sitting in her second house of money value and self esteem for 26 months. Four months away from completing that cycle right around September 29th. Then the progressed moon sitting directly on top of her Chiron in December 2025. Something was healing during that time. The chart already knew.

Fear is the belief that something will harm you. Faith is the belief that something will help you. BB wrote that down one day and then noticed something in the word itself — belief contains the instruction be leaf. She looked up what leaf means. It means love. The word literally says be love. Then Spirit said but you're missing the whole point. Fear is not your enemy. Fear is your guide showing you where you need love. The angels always say fear not when they appear because they come embodied in your biggest fear to guide you to your greatest strength. Then the doctrine split the vessel — teaching good and evil divided the unconditional love frequency right down the middle. Paul connects it to the Venus split framework. BB pulls out a painting she made of her own awakening. The three of swords. Know thyself and balance your energy.Takeaways:Fear and faith are the same mechanism — one believes something will harm you the other believes something will help youThe word belief contains the instruction be love — that reframe changes everything about how you relate to what you believeFear is not your enemy — it is your guide pointing directly at where you need love and healingThe doctrine of good and evil splits the vessel — unconditional love cannot be held in a vessel divided against itselfWhen what you love and value conflicts with tradition that split shows up in your relationships your body and your lifeBB's Tiktok BB's Facebook.

At 12 years old BB got caught with her best friend. They weren't allowed to see each other anymore. That's when she started using drugs. Living a life that went against who she really was made authentic living impossible. Then as a pastor the gay community kept coming through her recovery ministry. Her pastor wanted her to make them straight. She couldn't figure that one out. Then a woman from her ministry overdosed and died. BB officiated her funeral. And God said reconcile my people.

Judgment or discernment — is there a difference? Paul uses triggering words on purpose. BB says words carry frequency and cast spells. Then the story takes a turn. Her secretary takes her to a gym to ask for donated memberships for her recovery ministry. That's where she meets her wife. She leaves her husband and the church in 2012. Her community responds by calling every judge probation officer and parole officer she'd ever worked with and telling them she relapsed. Her pastor preaches against her by name.

BB hadn't been inside a church since her family moved away when she was nine. Then at 28 — the start of her Saturn return — her mother made her go. She showed up in daisy shorts a sports bra combat boots and a do-rag. Then a lady touched her on the third eye. Lightning went through her head. She crumbled to the floor. Heard God say don't move I'm doing a work in you. Every bit of addiction anger rage and bitterness pushed out of her body like a syringe. A gray streak appeared in her hair overnight.

Paul met BB at a vendor event at the Red Jasper in Hattiesburg Mississippi. A brief exchange led to a 10 minute chart conversation and something she said made him say I have to have this woman on the show. Brandelyn Mangum Deer grew up way out in the country in Waynesboro Mississippi where all her neighbors were family. Played outside. Drank from the hose. Went to a church so old you could see the ground through the floors. Tomboy. Despised dresses. Kept up with the boys.

Uranus at 2° Gemini is squaring the North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo—the final activation before this karmic axis closes. This is the last unexpected push, the fork in the road that reveals whether the path you've been on was actually yours. We connect Venus's vow at the North Node in Pisces, the sealing of that vow at 29° Taurus, and what Uranus is now delivering as it squares the same axis from Gemini.

The principal theme of this podcast episode revolves around the profound journey of emotional education, as symbolized by the Moon's cyclical passage through various states of being. We elucidate the notion that indecision, represented by the Two of Swords, serves not merely as a hindrance but rather as a vital teacher, imparting the essential lessons of choice and consequence. As we navigate through the intricate interplay of justice and sorrow, we confront the stark realities that lie beneath the surface of our emotional landscapes. The episode culminates in the revelation that clarity, once obscured, shall return, facilitated by the fortitude of self-sufficiency and the wisdom of introspection. Ultimately, we arrive at a threshold, poised to embrace the insights garnered from our trials, as we prepare to transcend the illusions of indecision and face the truths that await us. The fallen Sun in Libra's final 48 hours in the 2 of Swords. Eight days of suspended decision, blindfolded balance, and the Moon's emotional education through Justice, Death, Temperance, Devil, and Star. Thursday at 10° Libra, the blindfold falls. Venus in fall built the sanctuary. The threshold arrives. Vision returns.Takeaways:The Moon's journey through emotional education reveals profound insights into our psyche's workings, facilitating personal growth and understanding.Justice serves as a reflection of our paralysis, highlighting how inaction can lead to stagnation in the pursuit of fairness and equity.The concept of temperance is presented as an alchemical process, demanding engagement and confronting the indecision that binds us.The clarity and altitude granted by the Star allow for a painful truth to be perceived with greater acceptance and understanding.Venus's retreat into hermitic wisdom underscores the necessity of self-sufficiency in facing life's harsh realities with courage.The Two of Swords represents a phase of completion rather than resolution, illustrating the critical lessons learned during periods of indecision.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

The central theme of this podcast episode revolves around the transformative power of confronting emotional truths, particularly in the context of impending challenges. We delve into the notion that the experiences we endure are not merely punitive but rather serve as essential components of our personal evolution. As we navigate the complexities of our emotional landscapes, we recognize that clarity can emerge from sorrow, allowing us to distinguish between painful truths and debilitating delusions. We expound upon the significance of self-cultivation, positing that a strong inner foundation enables us to weather the storms of reality without succumbing to despair. Ultimately, this discussion illuminates the profound lesson that embracing discomfort can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself and the world. Ruler of this fallen Sun, herself compromised in Virgo (the Hermit), working through the 9 of Pentacles — cultivating sovereign solitude while her Sun-child struggles with relational paradox.Takeaways:The emotional field achieves an elevated state, facilitating profound introspection and growth.The high priestess perceives the overarching patterns within our experiences, providing essential clarity.Embracing painful truths is pivotal; they serve as structural necessities for personal development.The crossing into the realm of the three of swords signifies a transition towards reality, not punishment.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday

Eight days of suspended decision, blindfolded balance, and the Moon's emotional education through Justice, Death, Temperance, Devil, and Star.The alchemical path of Temperance is intricately explored as the moon rises, symbolizing the profound transformation that one undergoes when embracing moderation and balance. Within this discussion, the speaker articulates the necessity of navigating the middle way, a philosophy that transcends the dichotomy of extremes. The essence of Temperance is portrayed not merely as a passive state of being, but rather as an active engagement with the process of synthesis, whereby one must pour their emotional and philosophical resources into the chalice of life, thus creating a harmonious blend of experiences and perspectives. Through this metaphorical act of pouring water between cups, the speaker underscores the importance of making conscious choices, suggesting that one cannot achieve true temperance without the act of selection and commitment to transformation.Takeaways:The concept of Temperance elucidates the alchemical path towards achieving balance and transformation.To realize true synthesis, one must engage with philosophical perspectives, as mere indecision yields nothing.The metaphor of pouring water between cups symbolizes the necessity of making choices to facilitate transformation.Indecision acts as a form of bondage, perpetuating the illusion that waiting will yield alternative options.

The episode delves into the profound theme of self-cultivation through solitude, emphasizing the necessity of personal growth before engaging in external relationships. We explore the metaphorical implications of the hermit's nine of Pentacles, which advocates for withdrawal and self-perfection. As we examine the challenges posed by the Empress in her state of decline, we recognize that true beauty requires nurturing in isolation, unencumbered by the noise of external influences. The dialogue reveals the complexities of emotional entanglements, where mutual indecision obscures clarity and exacerbates stagnation. Ultimately, we confront the harsh realities of truth, decay, and the imperative to acknowledge the unacknowledged, positing that one cannot foster genuine beauty while ignoring the underlying rot.The fallen Sun in Libra's final 48 hours in the 2 of Swords.

Eight days of suspended decision, blindfolded balance, and the Moon's emotional education through Justice, Death, Temperance, Devil, and Star. Thursday at 10° Libra, the blindfold falls. Venus in fall built the sanctuary. The threshold arrives. Vision returns.A meticulous exploration of the intricate dynamics surrounding the two of swords reveals a profound understanding of the challenges associated with relational identity. The discussion commences with a reflection on the passage of time, noting the completion of eight days, with only two remaining, which sets a stage of urgency and contemplation. Central to this discourse is the symbolism of the two of swords, which epitomizes a state of paralysis and indecision, compelling individuals to navigate the complexities of their relationships. The speaker introduces the metaphor of the moon's face, illustrating the tension between the assertive solar will and the often conflicted lunar indecision, thereby capturing the essence of the human struggle in decision-making processes where identity becomes entangled with relational dynamics.Takeaways:The current astrological influences suggest a profound struggle with identity and relationships.The high priestess symbolizes a deep conflict between lunar indecision and solar authority.This period of introspection is characterized by a disconcerting paralysis stemming from opposing forces.Our emotional experiences are echoed in choices that seem to lead to inevitable betrayal and conflict.The theme of restraint masquerading as wisdom reveals the complexities of our current emotional state.Ultimately, we find ourselves navigating a landscape where action feels stifled by fear and doubt.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday
