Karmic Astrologer Susan Reynolds and I trace the shift from murky, passive energy to practical focus and decisive action as Capricorn steadies the ground and Neptune moves from Pisces into Aries. Emotions run high around work and home, but clear plans, body wisdom, and simple conversations with spirit help us act with purpose.

• foggy December energy giving way to Capricorn focus
• Neptune turning direct and entering Aries for kinetic spiritual action
• using intentionality to harness impulsive urges
• listening to the body as a decision compass
• full moon tensions between work and family
• Capricorn pragmatism in love, partnership and boundaries
• practical steps for talking with guides daily
• difference between surrender and stagnation
• early signals around career shifts and housing choices
• a wider spiritual renewal and less tolerance for hypocrisy

SPEAKER_00:

Hi, I'm Intuitive India Lee, and this is the Guides Podcast. And we have karmic astrologer Susan Reynolds here. And it's so funny because always before I hit record, we are just, yes, please say hello. Hello, Susan.

SPEAKER_01:

We're doing a little chit-chatting and we're getting excited.

SPEAKER_00:

Yep. And then we get excited. And then I'm like, okay, we have to hit record because I want to share this. And one thing we were talking about just now is the fact that right now, as we're recording, it's it's the middle of December. People are in a very vague and almost like not lost, but very foggy kind of energy. I think people have more sense of um the that there is guidance there, that we are. I feel like everyone is getting more clear about the fact that there's more here in our lives going on than just the 3D physical, what appears to be. However, everyone's still kind of foggy about how to direct that. And even those of us who do it for a living, this is a foggy time. But what we were just saying is that on December 21st, by the time you're hearing this, and then extending through the end or uh 22nd of January, it's Capricorn season, and Capricorn season will bring more focus. It always does. Right? Yes.

SPEAKER_01:

Neptune finally turned direct. And this planet has been retrograde, just meaning going backwards for about six months. And on December 10th, it gathered all its little energy together, and it's a changing direction, and it started to move forward. Now, in January, at the end of January, I think if I remember correctly, on January 26th, Neptune is not only moving forward, but it is moving forward out of the sign of Pisces and into the sign of Aries. This is big news astrologically. I know most of you are not professional astrologers, but take it from me. It is big news in the community, and it is going to affect every single one of us. Neptune loves being in Pisces, where it has been for the last 12 years. Pisces is beautiful and spiritual and kind and loving, but it's also very la-di-da-di-da. You know, it's like I'm gonna wait for inspiration. Yeah, I'll see what my guides tell me. Let me meditate on this, you know. So we don't always get things done. Pisces is a sign of deception, self-illusion, self-delusion. You know, it is a sign of deceit. Oh, I'm sure when he said he wasn't married, that was the truth. You know, what are the ways we lie to ourselves? Oh, I know I joined AA, but one beer won't hurt, you know? This kind of thing. And that's where we make our big mistakes. We step in it and we step in it because we're lying to ourselves. You know, I can lose weight anytime I want, I can stop smoking anytime I want. But now, for the first time in 12 years, on January 26th, Neptune is leaving the sign of Pisces. Love and light, oh, wait for an answer. It's moving into kick-ass Aries. Aries isn't loving light. Aries, is you talking to me? Yeah, I'll take you down. Aries is forceful, it is dynamic, it is action-oriented and pulse. It doesn't just want to do something, it wants to do it now. So the energy right here at the beginning of new year, very dynamic. So lots of you are going to be noticing this. Projects that were sort of stalled, or you put on the back burner, suddenly you're like, okay, I need to pick this up. I need to get this done. I need to get it done now.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

You may have puts around for six months, but now you have to get it all done. Yeah. And we're going to notice this not only within ourselves, but we're going to notice this of everybody around us. You know, the spouse that lost their job that just, well, I'm going to wait and see. Now they're updating the resume, going out on interviews, the child that couldn't make up their mind about what their major is going to be. They make a decision. So we're going to see some major, major changes right here in the first month of the new year. Yeah, because Aries is always no, Aries is also the first sign of the Zodiac.

SPEAKER_00:

So it is the beginning. So with that, with Saturn being in Aries, this is probably going to be a time where there's a lot of new jobs happening, a lot of new career beginnings, or like you said, projects that it's like, oh, I'm going to start this now. Like it's going to be a good time to start things that are structure and work-related or or or that bring us focus.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, a lot of new people for November and December have felt tired and they have felt stuck. Not a lot happening. The more you try to force it, the more nothing happens. But in January, as Neptune moves into Aries, in February, Saturn is also going to move into Aries. So it's like back to back, two big time players in astrology are going to move into this very dynamic, very forceful side of Aries. So now that's going to show up in different ways for different people, depending on what part of your chart it's going to activate. But it's exciting stuff. It's new stuff. So a lot of you are going to be ready to move in a new direction. Even if you don't know what that direction is, sometimes you're just going to be walking around going, I'm bored. I want something new. I'm not doing this anymore. So this is where you're going to have to be in charge of this energy and not let it be in charge of you. Trying to make changes, but you have to use that impulsiveness to your advantage instead of walking in and telling your boss off and walking out and going, Oh, yeah, I don't have a job now. This is not usually what's going to make your life better. So you have to think about where do you want your life to be? How do you want to use this energy on your terms and make your life better? You know, yeah, intentionality. Intentionality. Yes, it's exactly where it is. Intentionality. And when I think of Aries energy, I think of 9-11. I think of those firemen running into the building. That's the courage of Aries. You know, they will run into the burning building, they will run into the tracks to save your child from the oncoming train. They are known for their courageous action. So this could be starting to feel like you have the courage to do something that scares you a little bit. For some of you, that may be standing up and leading the meeting. For others, it may be something more physical. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

And knowing that when you have that intentionality that's aligned with your heart, your guidance rather than that ego-second guessing, rather than those fears, then you're riding the wave of universe energy. So if we look at those first responders, like you're talking about, they are going into the danger, but they're very focused, they're very intentional. And so they're working with almost superpowers because they're able to perceive in a different way than someone who's in fear. They're, you know, they're able to do things that you can't do if you're in a lower vibrational state of fear and confusion. And so it's the same when we're working with these energies. It's going to be important to take this time now to really tune in, to refine your intentions so that you can ride that wave of pure divine universal energy into your projects and goals and new things that you're doing and relationships so that things can flow. You can, even though it appears that you're doing things that are more challenging and harder, you're actually flowing and getting more help with them than ever. And the guides are also wanting to mention, especially for Capricorn season, being an earth sign and our bodies are so important when we're working with earth energies, because our bodies are earth energy, are earth energies. It's like our body is a little planet, you know. And so this month ahead is going to be a really important one to allow your body to help you focus those energies. Your body is actually receiving universal energy first before any other part of you. I mean, your your soul is is always connected on the 5D, the 4D, the 3D, all the planes. And then your body is the next one to get the memo. You know, it's that's why animals seem to be so wise because they're so in touch with their bodies, with their physical selves, and they're feeling and reading energy all the time without any interference from the mind or from emotions and all that stuff. So listening to your body is really going to help you. You know, we do muscle testing where you're kind of listening to your body about should I use this or that? You're going to be doing the same thing with your goals in January, where you say, okay, this is something I'm wanting to start. Let's say it's a project or a business or a partnership. How does it feel in my body when I really connect with the vision of this? Do I feel calm? Does it feel like it supports me? Or does it make me feel kind of triggered and kind of anxious and sort of on the surface, like reactive? It's going to be something really important to pay attention to as you move forward because your body's not going to steer you wrong. And you can hold even some uh wise apprehension or or some kind of uncertainty without it feeling like fear in the body, reactive fear. You can hold it. You'll know the difference because it feels you feel it in your belly. If it's like, ooh, this is the year I'm going to start my business and I'm using this energy, I'm going to start my business, it's going to happen. You're going to feel that deep in your belly as like a oh, this is happening. And it feels a little like fear, but it's more of this like knowing with intensity. If it's like someone offers you a job and you're like, oh, this seems enticing, but something about it didn't feel right, you're going to feel it higher up. You're going to feel it in the top of your chest, like you're rapid breathing, like that. That's more fight or flight. So that's how you're going to know. Uh, you know, using your body to let help guide you into what's what's really for me and what should I leave behind in the in the year 2025, right? What's for me in the new year?

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, absolutely. I always love with that sense of excitement. You know, before I do a talk, before I do a class, before I do a workshop, am I excited about it?

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Because if I'm not, forget it, I'm not putting the work in to do something that doesn't excite me. Because I want that excitement to translate to the people I'm working with. I want them to be excited about it too. So the kind of thing you're talking about, and I always think of it like roller coaster fear, you know, like our heart's pounding and we're holding on to the bar and we're scared to death, but we're so excited too. It's okay to be a little scared as you move into a new area or step out of your comfort zone. But you're gonna know the difference between what I call the excited fear and the oh crap kind of this isn't right kind of fear.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

And so, yeah, your body will often be your barometer of truth and let you know if this is right for you or not.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

And if you're not sure, you can always let time decide because guidance is never going to be hindered by time. Something that's right for you is never going to be removed from your path by time or space for that matter, because in the spirit realm and on our soul paths, time and space are irrelevant. So, you know, it's so funny because our minds, our fears, really lock in on those two things time and space. Is it gonna happen in the future? What happened in the past, or is it within my realm of grabbing it? Is it around me right now? Um, and you know, spirits kind of like, oh my goodness, we don't care about that. We're gonna, if it's on your path, we're gonna bring in all the elements to make it happen. So if you're not sure, if it's like, this feels kind of, I feel something, but I'm not sure what it is, give it time, give it space, because that will always allow the truth to to come to the forefront and it will be there for you still. You're not gonna miss it because of proximity or time not being there.

SPEAKER_01:

One of the things that I love about Capricorn season, which you alluded to, is that Capricorn is an earth sign. So as we begin January, we have the sun in Capricorn, but we also have Venus in Capricorn, we also have Mars in Capricorn, so there's a lot of Capricorn energy here, and Capricorn is very stable, very steady. You know, Capricorn helps to balance some of that. Oh, I think I'll try that. With, you know, let's think about this. Do you have a plan? Capricorn is fabulous for making a plan, for looking ahead, for helping us not just set those resolutions of the new year, but how am I gonna lose those 20 pounds? How am I gonna earn more money? How am I gonna, you know, try new things? You know, what's step two, three, four, and five, not just step one? So it helps us look at reality, even when that reality maybe it's had uncomfortable for us. You're like, no, I'm not appreciated at work, and they're never gonna pay me what I'm worth. And maybe I need to update my resume. That can be a scary thought, but it can also propel you into something much better. And Capricorn helps us look at those things in a very balanced way, not super high, not super low, but to say, let's take a look at this. And with Venus and Capricorn, um, we are looking at all of our relationships in a very practical down-to-earth way. Because Venus rules law, yes, we are going to be looking at our partner, our spouse, and we are gonna be looking at like, okay, can I live with this person for the next 30 years of my life? You know, what do they do that absolutely drives me crazy? Do we need to talk about this? Do we need counseling? What works, what doesn't? We're able to do that without a lot of the emotion of the moment. Like, so help me, God, if that person leaves their socks on the floor one more time, I'm gonna kill them. That's sort of taken out of the equation. We're looking, you know what, my husband, my partner, you know, they're a good person. And I hate they leave their socks on the floor, but you know what? We're just gonna work around that. Or it may be like it's not really about the socks because Capricorn helps us look at things very clearly. So this is not only about our personal relationships, but also our business relationships. What kind of business partnerships do you need to form to move forward? Do you, you know, Indy and I were just talking about doing some sort of classes or workshops or talks in 26. And Indy and I are good professional partners. We live in different places, we live in different states, but we work well together. So you're gonna be looking at who do I work well together? This is even if you're in school. Sometimes you're put together on a project and oh, they're always out partying and I'm doing all the work. We're gonna be looking at balance and equality in terms of our business partnerships. And it's not a sign and a combination where you're gonna say, Yeah, I know it's unfair and I'm being taken advantage of, but I'm okay with that. Capricorn's not okay with that. They don't mind working hard, but they have very firm boundaries and very firm ethics and integrity, and they want you to be working just as hard as they're working. So, this is the time we're gonna be looking at that. We're gonna be looking at our business, our career. We're gonna be looking very Capricorn-oriented things because that's a sign of leadership. And so how retiring you are, or how much you don't want to be out in front, you may be looking at taking a leadership role of some sort. Maybe you're the lead babysitter for babysitting all your nieces and nephews. You're like, I'll take it on. We're ready to take on a project in January because of that leadership by. Oh, let me see if I can do that, and I think that's exciting. So I'm gonna encourage people to push just a little bit out of your boundaries in January because I think the stars are gonna help you.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, and then there's the other side to be aware of, which is in January. I mean, we all know January can feel kind of dreary, kind of uh a little, a little bit stark. And some of that is due to Capricorn energy as well. I mean, as a Capricorn moon, I know it can get it can get stark, it can get dark, it can get brooding, you know. And so you may have some of that like where you're like, dang, where's the cheer? Where's the you know, because Capricorn is kind of all business, and so you'll want to be aware of that and and bring, give yourself some things, you know, be kind to yourself in ways that you can and it and uh discern, you know, I'm already in this January energy. Do I really want to be pushed in this way or or do I really want to be a part of this other thing? And just be extra discerning because you're gonna want to create kind of a fluffy, nice atmosphere for yourself to work within these hyper-responsive, hyper, hyper-responsible and responsive energies of January. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

If you have an astrology chart and you know what the glyphs look like, look where Capricorn is on your chart. What house is it over? And that's the area of your life that's going to be most activated by these energies. If you don't know where, if you don't have your chart or you don't know where Capricorn is, you can email me. Um, just go to Explore Astrology and it has my email information on there. And I'll be happy to give me a birthday, I'll be happy to tell you where this Capricorn energy is going to be activated in your chart because you want to take charge of it. You want to own it, you want to make it work for you. But this is much more the first half. Of January. In the second half of January, things start to change. Before I start to move into the second half of January, let me back up. Because right out of the gate, like on January 3rd, we have a full moon. And that full moon is going to be the full moon happens when the sun and the moon are opposite each other and they're fighting like that. And so we look up at the sky, we see the full moon because the sun's rays are shining on them. And the sun is going to be in Capricorn on January 3rd, and the moon is going to be in cancer. And so this can often bring up conflicts or issues between work and family. Maybe you have a big presentation at the office, but that's the day that your, you know, 12-year-old is going to play in the band or be the lead in the school play. You know, there's that's a clear conflict between work and home. You know, you hope that your boss might understand, you know, like she's 12, she needs to be there. I have to show up for her, you know, or your boss might be like, wait a minute, we're paying you a lot of money to present this, you need to present it. There may be other, you know, that's a very obvious kind of conflict. But this is what happens. Cancer is about home and family. Capricorn is about our professional life and career. So we may be fighting a little bit. Like, how do we balance all of these? How do we bring all these together? Now remember, and I can say this is a cancer. Cancer is very emotional, very emotional. And so it's like whatever you're feeling around that time, it's like on steroids. It's not just that you had a bad day. It's like life sucks and everything goes wrong, and nobody loves me. And you know, very Sarah Bernhardt, you know, very dramatic and very over the top in terms of feelings. Remember, even though this full moon is going to happen on January 3rd, most sensitive people, and I'm including most of the people that are watching this podcast, will start to feel the energies up to three days before that. So, right there at New Year's Eve, you might find yourself, you've got big plans for New Year's Eve, and suddenly, like, oh, something happened and your little sister needs a babysitter. What are you gonna do? You know, so again, there could be that kind of conflict. And even though the full moon is gonna peak on January 3rd, the energies hang around for a day or two afterwards. So be aware that we're gonna come out of the gate, you know, first month of a whole new year, fairly emotional. And so think about some ways to handle that. Do you talk to a counselor, a therapist? Do you want to start walking every day? Because that's really very grounding and very balancing. Do you want to just vent to a couple of close friends who, you know, they're there, they'll hold hands and they'll tell you it's gonna be okay. So we're gonna start this year on a bang, not on a whimper, on a bang. It's it's gonna, we're gonna notice it right out of the gate. But that doesn't mean that's a bad thing. We may decide to buy a house, we may decide to make a major career change. I'm gonna tell you, most of you probably know this, but for those who don't, every January I give my predictions talk for the coming year. And this year I'm gonna give that talk twice. Once on January 10th at Alara Spa in North Carolina, and the second time at Heartlight Spiritual Community on January 11th. And you can Google Heartlight Spiritual Community, and it's listed, you can buy your ticket, it's live streamed, it's recorded, all the rest. But that's a long-winded way of saying that one of the things I'm gonna be mentioning in January is that in 2026, I see the prices of housing going down instead of up. Last year in 25, it favored the seller. In 26, we're gonna see some market corrections and market drops, and I think it's gonna favor the buyer a little bit more than the seller. So, right here at the beginning of January, you may be thinking, oh, you know, maybe I'm gonna move out of this apartment, maybe I'm gonna buy a house, maybe I'm gonna go in with somebody and we'll buy a house together. You're gonna be looking at real estate and your living situation in a different way, not a bad way, just a new way. And you're gonna be open to that. So again, I'm looking at that as very exciting, very big deal, you know. Yeah, a lot going on in 2026.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, and your predictions for the year ahead are always amazing. So I highly recommend everybody check that out. Um, and I think you typically post something, you typically make things available online as well, like a recording or something, or maybe if you don't, yeah, you do. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

So check out the talk at Heartlight is live stream. So if you're in California and can't make it in person, you can watch it at home on your screen. If you're just out of town, out of the country, and you can't even be in front of your computer to watch it, it will be recorded. So we can send you the recording and you can listen to the whole thing. The way I usually do this, and India knows this because she's listened to this multiple years, is it's two hours. In the first hour, I talk about what's ahead for our nation. I talk about what's happening internationally, I talk about what's going to go on economically with the market and the economy. I talk about geographical stuff, you know, talk about celebrity stuff. I cram all this into the first hour. Then in the second hour, I give a brief overview of each one of the 12 signs and what they should expect in the coming year. And some signs this year, especially in 26, the cardinal signs are gonna get hit hard. I don't mean in a in a hit bad, but Aries, cancer, Libra, Capricorn, they're gonna react all this new Aries energy. They're gonna react to all these changes that are coming up, and so they're gonna be ready. You're gonna notice if you know people who are Aries, Capricorn, Cancer, Libra, you're gonna notice they're making some changes and you're talking about new things and they've got new ideas. They're gonna really notice this energy.

SPEAKER_00:

Or if you happen to know triple triple cardinal sign, yeah, if you happen to know a triple cardinal sign like myself, you will be looking like, what's going on with her? Oh my god. Now, what's interesting is I was um just feeling into the energies for the year ahead with the tarot, and the card that came out in multiple decks for 2026 is the world. The world is the I always call it the graduation card, it's the level up card, and in this case, it feels very literal, like Spirit is saying, Oh, this is gonna be the year where our world is truly being rebirthed, um, in the light of truth, in the light of soul sovereignty. This is gonna be the year where things like codependency and um soul uh oppression between people really does not is not able to continue. It is a year, I'm seeing the Ace of Wands too. It's a year of of freedom. It's a year of you know, people uh being ready to put down their own internal bondage, any bondage uh figuratively that's in connections, relationships, and of course, literal situations um that are oppressive to people and that are keeping them bound are not gonna be um it's gonna be the conditions will be very right for those to end. So that's what that's what I'm getting.

SPEAKER_01:

Um remember Pisces is that veil comes down and we don't see things clearly, but in January, the veil goes away, and we've got that Aries energy, and we sort of wake up to different situations. This can be politically, this could be religiously, this could be financially, this this could be in our personal life, our professional life. Oh, I why have I been with this person for 10 years, not leaving their spouse, you know, like we see reality in we're not lying to ourselves anymore. Like, oh, I agitated them, they didn't mean to hit me in the face. That goes away. We start to look at things in a much more clear, unbiased way. Yes, and and that's good because when we can see a truth, we can act on it, we can do something, we can start to say, I don't like this situation, and I'm gonna change it. I love that, it's very empowering for people who are looking at that.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, and you're gonna find a lot of support from the universe. You it'll be a lot of support for the universe. So even if your mind, like let's say you're in a difficult situation, and your mind is like, I just don't see the options. This this is going to be the year, because I'm also getting the justice card where spirit's like, Oh, don't worry, I'll show you the options. All you need to have is the clarity, the energetic clarity that this is what I'm doing. Going back to that firefighter analogy. Like, if you will just have the courage to move forward, I'm gonna open up the options, is what spirit is saying.

SPEAKER_01:

What a lot of people, myself included, struggle with when they are seeking to listen to a higher energy or develop their spiritual life. They're sort of saying, just tell me, just tell me what I'm supposed to do, just tell me where I'm supposed to go, what I'm supposed to do, I'll do it, I'll do it. But I'm gonna tell you from decades of experience, it does not work like that. I wish it did, because life would be so much easier if there were guides and angels and a divine force saying step one, step two, step three. But instead, we have to take the first step. We have to say, you know what, I think this is the right course for me, and I'm gonna take the first step. And if we're putting the energy into it, and it is not for our best and highest good, spirit will, of course, correct that for us. But when we are sitting there doing nothing, waiting for the voice from heaven or whatever, nothing's gonna happen. My spiritual teacher used the analogy of a car. Sitting there, no key in the ignition. Well, this was years ago, so it was a key back then to turn your car on. No key in the ignition, nothing is happening. The car is sitting there cold. It's hard to get from point A to point B when you're sitting in a cold, dead car. But if you turn the car on, you start to move it, and you're going down the wrong road. It doesn't take a lot of energy to just say, okay, purple here, turn this way instead. So it establishes more of an open communication between you and higher forces, you and your guides, your higher self, your angels, whatever you wish to call this divine energy. That's why it's so important for us to not sit there waiting, but to take the first step. It is actually better for you to take a first small step, even if it turns out to be the wrong one, than to sit there waiting.

SPEAKER_00:

Right. It gets things in motion, and then you can recognize oh, okay, I moved in this direction. It didn't feel so great. Um I'm moving in this direction now, and and options can open up for you, yes. But the more we sit still, the more we don't allow any changes to happen, the more closed our mind gets, and the more we get in that kind of locked up um energy. Yeah, yeah. It's why it's one of the reasons why 2026 starts off so oh, I'm sorry. No, it's just one of the reasons why reading your energy and reading and doing readings um and understanding your astrology, it's one of the reasons why that can help so much, is because you can start to focus in on the micro movements. You can say, Okay, spirit, I feel overwhelmed in these ways and confused in these ways. But let me focus in on just one movement forward for today. So, for example, if you're starting your day and you wake up and your mind is automatically like, oh, you know, I'm already having a hard time with all the stuff I have to do or all the problems or whatever. If you will connect with spirit just by saying, Hey, spirit, and it can be as easy as that. Just hey spirit, you don't have to get all fancy. You know, I mean, I get a lot of questions that are just that how do you connect with spirit? And really just you just start talking and and then trusting that you're being heard, or or just seeing if you're being heard. You don't have to have all the the sureness in the world, but start talking and say, okay, today, spirit, just sometimes mine can be super simple. Just just show me how great this day can be. It can be super simple, or you can get very specific and you can be, okay, spirit, please show me my next steps into living with more passion or or living more abundantly, or more connection, or more fun, or whatever it is that you want to focus in on, and just really focus in on that one area, ask for help, and then pay attention to the ways that everything that's coming in that day might be helping you. And if again, if you cannot perceive it, if you're just like, I'm not seeing it, I'm not getting it, tell Spirit that too. Yeah, just keep it a conversation. I'm not seeing it, I'm not getting it, please help me. And and yeah, you'll see what you need. But it does take that kind of like like Susan said, just move or communicate or or put some energy into it, because we're putting the energy in, and then spirit is meeting and matching and and multiplying that energy. But it's our free will. If we're just gonna sit here and go, no, I'm not putting any energy into life because everything's hard or it's not gonna make any difference, then the universe has no choice but to be like, Well, I'll be over here just waiting until you change your mind, I guess. When you're ready. Yeah, when you're ready.

SPEAKER_01:

I talk to my guys all the time at a red light. Yeah, I'm sitting there and I do not close my eyes. You do not have to close your eyes and go, um, I just sit there at the red light and I start sharing my day and having a conversation. And um, I do a lot of driving between North Carolina and Georgia, and it's a very long, boring drive. You get on the interstate, you get off hours later at your destination. And I always ask my guides to be with me on that drive. And I ask that it will be a journey of spirit as well as location, and I get tons of good ideas when I'm on the road, like I should do this, oh, I should do that. And I know that's not me, that's them communicating with me. Yeah, when we engage our left side of the brain doing something that doesn't require a lot of focus. Lots of times for me, it's vacuuming, washing the dishes, you know. Sometimes, you know, if the dishwasher's full, I want to scrub that pot or pan and you know, get in there. And that's sort of mindless work, you know. And my mind's sort of free roaming, and boom, something will come in. I'll have an idea. It will not be a voice from Bob going, Susan, you need to do this. But it's just like, oh, you know what would be good? That's your guide speaking to you. We want the MGM experience, clear fog and the light machine, and somebody appearing, you know. We all well, I want that. Most of the light talk to also want that. And I hope you get that. But if you don't, it does not mean your guides are not working with you. Yeah, because they are, but they do it in a way that is not always dramatic, that is not always as jazzy as what we would like. Don't think nothing is happening because nothing dramatic is happening. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. And and when we take the steps in that direction, like you said, okay, I got the ideas, I got the inspiration, let me now act on that. Let me write it down, let me make a plan. Then you find out, oh, this was the right direction because you get that wonderful confirmation. Because again, sometimes people will at will say, you know, how do I know this is my guidance? It's like, well, act on it. You know, if if it's if it's not gonna actively hurt anything, do it and and see what outcome you get. And most times you'll know because it's gonna be something very different than what your mind is saying you should do. So you do that thing that's very different because you got the guidance and it's like, oh, well, this is right. Also remember Neptune. One more thing I want to add is there is a difference between doing nothing in a closed way and surrender. I just want to add that because sometimes we can be asking, asking, asking, nothing's happening, no ideas are coming, nothing. And that's just uh, you know, spirit saying this is a surrender time. And you know the difference because you're still staying open, you're still flowing. Usually when you're in surrender, you'll flow with emotion, and that's still energy moving. You know, you'll cry or you'll just be angry or whatever it is. That's that's emotion. So there's a difference between feeling stuck and and being in surrender, and you know, by the way, things are moving through you because you know stuckness feels very numb, it feels very kind of floating, I'm directionless, I'm dissociated. It's not the same as surrendering. So I just wanted to add that.

SPEAKER_01:

I love that. I agree 100%. One of the things I was going to mention is that Neptune is also the planet that rules our spiritual life, not necessarily our religious life. That's a little bit more formal, but that direct connection with something divine or something that is more than us. Neptune is a planet that rules past lives and our our dream state at night, and our guides and angels and inspiration and you know those those aha moments where we change and we grow. That's all ruled by Neptune. And as we see it moving into the sign of Aries, the first, the new beginnings, we're gonna see a spiritual new wave or new beginnings over the world. We're gonna see people leaving churches, creating churches, starting different kinds of spiritual movements. We're gonna To see people waking up and they're not going to accept, I don't know how to say this, except they say like false prophets. Like, don't get up there from the pulpit and tell me how much I need to tithe as you drive away in your Rolls Royce. You know, like we're we're gonna see that as hypocrisy. We're not gonna accept that anymore. We're looking at truth uh in a different way. And so we're gonna be looking for some sort of spiritual connection that feeds our spirit, not just our mind that says this is what's right or this is what I would talk. So we're gonna see a lot going on internationally, nationally, internationally, about people wanting to talk to their guides, about people, you know, looking at those on the other side, about people seeking their souls' wisdom. Over the course of the next several years, because Neptune's gonna settle in for many years, we're gonna start to see the world waking up and the relatives and the friends that poo-pooed you and laughed at you for knowing your sign or believing in past lives, they're gonna start coming to you and they're gonna start asking you questions. Tell me about this past life thing, you know. I'm not saying they're suddenly gonna change their mind, but they're gonna be questioning in ways they didn't before. So I'm very excited about that. We will not accept hypocrisy, we're not gonna accept, you know, don't question, and this is just the way things are. The whole world is gonna be questioning, and I see a spiritual renewal happening. Very exciting.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, that sounds like a lot to look forward to in the month ahead, and we will definitely come back at the end of January and talk about the the beginning months of 2026 and what to what we're gonna be actively guiding um guided through there. But enjoy the end of this year, everyone, and the beginning of 2026. And thank you for spending this time with me and with Susan, and thank you, Susan, for being here.

SPEAKER_01:

My pleasure.
