In this episode, Two Dozy Broads discuss the influence of the planet Uranus in our lives, as well as a few words about Beltane.
So May comes thundering over the horizon like the cattle in the great song Ghost Riders in the Sky. What's a person to do? Well, listen to the Two Dozy Brothers podcast, of course. In times of stress or peril, we're always here with great wisdom. I couldn't count on that, but our producer continues to heal and he's doing well. Gary is reading his way through our not inconsiderable library, footnote by footnote. Blaze continues to dazzle the world with her style. And we are Sandy of Gemological Esoterica, and I am Linda Strochine of the Mercury Academy, and we are two Dozy Broads. Yay! Yay! This time around, we have some seasonal snippets and bits and pieces. So, Sandy, will you start us off?
SPEAKER_00Well, we're gonna be talking about Uranus this month, and I have the perfect perfect Uranus story. What was it, about a week, 10 days ago, somewhere in there? Something like uh you and I were talking on the phone, and I came downstairs and I had my Roomba going, and I walked downstairs and it was stuck under the bird cage. And I'm going and I go walking up to it, and I'm like, babe, its name is Baby. And the the reason its name is Baby is the very first time we got it, it got stuck in the corner and it was beeping plaintively, and nobody puts baby in the corner, so that's baby. So, anyway, so I go and I'm hollering at baby, baby, come out, baby, come out. Linda's laughing her butt off, and I'm going, baby, and I can't I can't get baby out because baby wedged herself in there. So I had to move the birdcage and move the table the birdcage was on, and I had to get baby, and I'm going, bad baby, bad baby. I'm turning it off and putting it back on its charging station. So if that doesn't sum up Uranus, I don't know what does you do. Is do you agree with me on that one?
SPEAKER_01Uh, that is a great visual for what we're going to be feeling like off and on for the next seven years.
SPEAKER_00There we go. There we go. A whopping seven years. Wow. Seven years. So Linda suggested I do some stones to mitigate the energies of Uranus. And I was thinking, this was after the baby incident, why are we trying to mitigate the energies? Why can't we work with them? It made more sense. It does otherwise, and especially seven years. How are you going to play around for seven years? What are you going to do? I mean, you know what? You're going to do it one day and then think about it three years later. That's about it. So I started researching stones to help you work with Uranus.
SPEAKER_01There you go.
SPEAKER_00Came up with some good ones. And so uh I just wanted to read this. This actually came off of Google, but I just stones associated with Uranus are used to harness the planet's energy of innovation, sudden change, individuality, and forward thinking. These stones help break unconventional barriers, foster originality, and assist in navigating personal upheavals. Now, does that sound right?
SPEAKER_01Oh, it does truly.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So I I there's a bunch of stones listed. I was just going to list a few, and I'm going to try and keep it with the ones that people can actually find, not anything too weird.
SPEAKER_01That's always nice.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, or too expensive. That's the other problem, especially. So the first one is Labradorite. And this is considered the primary stone for Uranus. And it's linked, Labradorite the stone is linked to intuition, being able to transform things, and the ability to navigate change while working with Uranus's weird energies. Like that. The other one is fluorite, and it can be any color. Although, if I were going to be using it, and I probably will be, I'd kind of be working more with the blues, something a bit more conducive to Uranus' color, maybe you know, kind of greenish, but that type of thing. And fluorite is useful for bringing order out of chaos or order out of disruption. And it helps you to become very mentally clear of what you are doing so that you can navigate through those odd energies. So I kind of like that one too. That's kind of an out-of-the-box stone. Yeah. And then the third one, the last one I'm going to talk about, is amethyst. Everybody got amethyst. And that enhances your personal growth and aids in all these energies, aids in harnessing all these energies so you can use them to your best abilities. And so just wanted to bring up, just kind of end it with why these stones are useful. It because these stones help embrace the change and the unexpected shifts that come with Uranus. Also, they sharpen the mind so you can see what's going on, you can make a decision on the fly, it'll be the correct decision, that type of thing. And they will also help you in the next seven years on your path to self-discovery and you know, promoting your own independence, which is what Uranus kind of does, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not that good at it. But hey, so that's what I have for the month.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Well, and and part of that too is Uranus has a tendency to uh uh kick the walker away from us and say, you can do it on your own. Oh no. What was that middle stone that you mentioned? Fluorite. Fluorite. Should get a huge dump truck of of it and send it to all of the politicians.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, send it out to Labradorite, fluorite, and amethyst.
SPEAKER_01There you go, a dump truck of each. Well, my contribution briefly on what we were discussing, the Uranus thing, first of all, is things to watch out for. Now, now we're taping this on the 24th of April, 2026. And between now and at least the end of June, check on your technology. Technology is going to be in a very odd way. There is there is hacking going on now that doesn't even fit the term hacking because it's so sophisticated. Hacking is the stuff we grew up with back when people were sitting in mom's basement with cold pizza, figuring out what computers could do 40, 50 years ago. This is now, and this is this is going, there is going to be all of this sort of stuff. So guard your data as as best you can and be extraordinarily careful. Also, uh, it's also going to be wreaking havoc with power grids. And so you you have to have a plan B. If you're somebody who really depends on the power grid, make sure that whatever is your plan B that you have it, because you very well might need it as we run between now and over the summer. Uh also we're going to be seeing the violence has already started. And so there'll be sadly a lot of that. But each in our own world, what we can do is like what Sandy said, what can I do to learn from this? To uh, in a sense, the way to learn from chaos is to embrace it. So you embrace it, and the best way to do it is to find ways that you can work with it. And so you organize your own world. You don't pay attention to what's going on outside of you in the world of politics. You you uh you pop you you say to yourself, okay, my world is is uh needs and balance, and I'm I'm going to be balancing my world. Now, just a couple things on holidays. On April 30th, we have Valpurgisnacht, which is not just a German festival, as you might think, because of the name of Valpurgisnacht. It's older than that. And it's named after St. Valpurgis, who was praised for battling pests, rabies, and hooping off. Uh, it's older than that. And what it was was a night when the uh door between the plains is ajar, and it's easier for naughty stuff to get through. It was always considered a night when uh the naughty witches would ride. The wit witches had their great Sabbath. And so it's a very good time in any event to not plan something exploratory or adventurous. Svalpurgisnacht is not the time to say, I want to explore bungee jumping. Uh, one of the things that you have if you're at Svalpurgis is fires were lit, they warded off evil. Also, loud noise wards off evil. So the modern music now is going to ward off evil. In Bavaria, they call it Hexenacht or the witch's night. But the next day is Beltane, and you see it if you ever saw a Camelot. It's May, it's May, the lusty month of May. Everything's fertile, everything's growing. Hooray for us. We're going to rock that fertility. And that is a time of dancing. When we were kids in school, sometimes they'd have us dancing around the May pole. We didn't know why, but it was basically an ancient fertility dance that we were doing in grade school. But you know, we didn't get to do that.
SPEAKER_00We didn't get to do that in parochial school.
SPEAKER_01Well, there's not supposed to be any of that in in uh parochial school. Also, one of the Bell Tane festival things is jumping over the flames for good luck. Now, of course, the the good luck is that as you jump over it, you do not uh singe your knickers, I think.
SPEAKER_00No kidding.
SPEAKER_01Boy, no that if you're gonna be dumb enough to do that, we have other things going on. Flowers. If you love flowers, get some flowers. The earth is blooming, it's rebirth, and you clean if you can't clean your whole whole space, you clean some piece of it, and that's another part of it. And that also goes in with the Uranus thing of uh bringing uh reason out of chaos. Uranus frequently brings chaos out of reason, but you uh you you do it the other way, and it it works very well. And that is my contribution to the insanity of the day.
SPEAKER_00Well, there we've we've covered actually we actually covered quite a bit of ground in, I don't know, a few minutes or whatever it is. Reach your hand up. Yeah, but it is it's very it's a very nice day out here. Now I have a question about if you are living in the southern hemisphere, yes. Are you celebrating Valpurgisnacht and Beltane because the seasons are switched, or is a is a holiday a holiday?
SPEAKER_01A holiday is a holiday. And even even if you're in your in your other side of things, the energy is the energy.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01It's kind of like Christmas is Christmas, whether you're in the southern hemisphere or the northern hemisphere. And so the energy, the energies find you wherever you are.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I was just curious because my friends in Australia have been sending pictures of all the fall colors there. And so I was wondering if, you know, being as we're in the northern hemisphere, we're opening up and in the southern hemisphere things are kind of shutting down. Yeah, I was just curious if it would if it pertained.
SPEAKER_01So the the the theory would then be that the growth that you would have from the uh say bell chain would be inner growth.
SPEAKER_00Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_01And whatever plants and fruits and things grow at that time of year.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah, there's still apples that are being harvested, and you're bringing in the vegetables and all that kind of thing. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I hadn't thought of it that way, but no, whatever, whatever the holiday is, it's it's sad. I'm sure that they have their their flip switch for their their their spring and summer uh festivals that they celebrate. But yeah.
SPEAKER_00Well, that's good. Well, again, we are we are through for another month. Oh my goodness. Next people are hoping next month will be towards the end of May, and we're hoping everything will be beautiful and in full bloom, and maybe things in the world will have quieted down. We're hoping so. So, with that, I am Sandy from Gemological Esoterica. And I am Linda Strochane of the Mercury Academy. And we remain two dozy broads. Good.
