Speaker 1: 0:06

Hello hello. Welcome to Ram and Goat. We are. We're annoyed already.

Speaker 2: 0:12

We are. Well, I have to say, I'm not. I'm not particularly annoyed.

Speaker 1: 0:16

Oh good, I'm glad you're not. I'm annoyed, but it's not my annoyance so much as it is my husband's falling on me. So, oh man, it's just one of those days, one of those days where, like life, stuff happens and then the energy just shifts or falls on you, or someone else's junk becomes yours and your day gets changed because you now have to deal with the flooded thing or the, you know whatever is now.

Speaker 2: 0:43

I mean, I've been looking at this astrology for today when I was at work, because today at work has been very strange, like very sort of chaotic and just no one really like miscommunications all over the place and just not angry vibe, just like everyone's like, oh, I don't know. You know the astrology and so the sky is basically air and water right now. We have Uranus and Pluto in earth signs and then we have no planets, but we have Chiron and the North Node in fire signs and the rest is water and air and everything is sort of pointing right now to Neptune. There's a kite in the sky pointing to Neptune. So everything is just recording this on the 26th of September and today has just been a big old fog, hasn't it?

Speaker 1: 1:33

Yesterday and today, yeah yeah, I was feeling that yesterday I kept wandering around my house going I need to do something, but I I don't know what, like I had all these things to do and I couldn't get my mind and my body like coordinated to do them. Wasn't it a Neptune opposite Mercury? Yesterday it was, it was Yep. That makes sense.

Speaker 1: 1:58

And I had had a migraine the night before. All night my cycle came again. I don't know if it's hormone related or what's going on, but this is the second migraine since I've had the baby and I'm not okay, like I'm like nope, it's too nope, too many. We got to figure this out. So I contacted my acupuncturist. I made an appointment, but in the meantime I also remembered the transit and I was like mercury and Neptune. That could, that could lead to brain things, mental health things, headache things Absolutely Confusion.

Speaker 2: 2:29

My colleague was like. She literally said I feel like I'm in fog and I went hmm, let's see what Neptune is doing today and everything is air and water in the sky. So it's like, well, that makes fog Easily, it makes fog. That's literally what it does.

Speaker 1: 2:43

It makes air and water in the sky. So it's like, well, that makes fog easily. It makes fog. That's literally what it does. It makes, yeah, air and water makes fog. And think of how fast air and water shift right, how fast they change direction, energy, whatever. And I don't know if you're aware of this, how much you they report, but there's a massive hurricane hitting the U? S right now Like a massive, oh yeah, like Florida is getting absolutely hammered, with one of the biggest hurricanes we've had come and it's coming in through the Gulf. So it's like went around and in through the Gulf of Mexico and it's hitting like on the inside of Florida. And it's interesting when you say air and water, and yeah, here we are with one of the biggest hurricanes. I'd be curious if we ever took a minute to look at hurricanes or weather things and astrological things. Absolutely, I bet you there's a correlation there, for sure?

Speaker 2: 3:37

Yeah, I mean right now in air we have the sun, mercury and Jupiter. In air and in water we have the moon, venus, mars, saturn and neptune.

Speaker 1: 3:49

That's a lot, so I was just thinking about the people. I've got lots of friends and and, uh, business colleagues in florida, so just sending them all love. It's starting to hit, like right now there's major evacuations happening, so just sending out everybody love down there yeah, I don't, I don't know what it's like love down there.

Speaker 2: 4:05

Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1: 4:05

I don't know what it's like to stay safe yeah, I don't know what it's like to live through a hurricane or be by a hurricane, but I, um, I have the imagination that it's probably pretty terrifying and powerful and intense. So just I hope everyone's okay yeah, me too.

Speaker 2: 4:26

Um, today we're talking about the astrology for october and I had an idea and let's see, if you like it, tell me how about before we look at the transits. If you want to pull a card for october, yes, you do.

Speaker 1: 4:44

Of course I do. I love pulling cards. I don't use them as often as I want to, but I really enjoy the energy when we do. I do have to tell you, remember I was saying when we were recording September and the transits and there was all kinds of stuff happening the third week and I was like, oh, that's a big week for me. There's like this Venus trying, Venus trying, Jupiter conjunct Saturn, like all of these things in my chart, remember.

Speaker 1: 5:11

Well, I just wanted to let our listeners know that it was pretty freaking great and it still is, and the way it showed up was pretty fabulous and I knew this transit was coming. I was aware of it and I was really excited for the potential of it, but I had no idea what it would look like. Now, just for reference, this was in my natal chart and Jupiter has just come over my rising sign in Gemini and that's trying to my natal Venus in the 10th house. So I was already like excited by that. But then when I looked, that's what ended up being trying to transiting Venus as well. So there was a Venus trying Venus trying Jupiter and then with that there's also a Saturn and Mars conjunction in my chart where they were talking as well. So this was all like really lit up this third week of September and I just kind of like let things happen and unfold the way they needed to and wow, was it cool.

Speaker 1: 6:11

So we ended up getting a disc golf auction that my brother won for us. He found an auction for the disc golf baskets and instead of us originally we were going to have to pay $4,000, with shipping and everything, to have them sent. He ended up winning an auction and getting them at less than half of that. So that showed up and we ended up getting three sponsors for the disc golf course that week as well, so money coming in for the disc golf course to essentially pay for the baskets that we just got. So the sponsorships essentially just paid for the baskets and I was like so, like I feel like financially we've got some type of support there.

Speaker 1: 6:54

And then, oh my God, like it was a whole, but I had to write it all down because I was like, is this a thing? And then we ended up getting a $10,000 investor for our property. So all within 48 hours. This all happened, oh my goodness. And we launched a new event we created in a week. It's called Nurture your Nature, a wellness immersion event, and we created that and I did all of the background stuff. So talk about like Venus trying Jupiter. Like Jupiter expands everything.

Speaker 1: 7:28

And this was also trying to my natal Saturn conjunct Mars. So it was like be responsible and go, so I did. In a week, I created a huge event that we utilize our disc golf course and we have facilitators come out here and we rotate people around and we created this really cool event that we're going to then offer every equinox and solstice. So we're going to repeat this lather, rinse, repeat, lather, rinse, repeat and I created the whole thing and launched it and we got seven out of the nine. We need nine facilitators. We got seven of them like immediately. So this all happened, oh my God, in this same like 48 hour period and I was like whoa, oh, we astrology Batman. It was so cool and I just I just wanted to share that, because a lot of times we talk about, like maybe, the challenges of astrology and the not so good stuff. But yeah, holy shit, I'll take that oh, I'll take that.

Speaker 2: 8:30

That's amazing and in my solar return chart.

Speaker 1: 8:33

This year. I have venus, sextile to um, jupiter and ur and Uranus, and Venus is in the eighth house of other people's money investors, inheritances, that kind of thing. And then Jupiter and Uranus are in my 10th house of career, but they're in Taurus, so I knew none of this was going to happen right away. I knew this was going to take time to develop and I was like, right away, I knew this was going to take time to develop and I was like I love when I'm right.

Speaker 1: 9:05

I was like Philip, I don't want to be like, I told you so, but I told you so. All right, girl, I picked a card for us. Scorpio came out.

Speaker 2: 9:10

No way.

Speaker 1: 9:11

I'm not even kidding. Scorpio came out while we're doing our October card. Well, that's very fitting, isn't that fitting? Yeah, so, and number eight. So Scorpio, number eight. The lessons here are, of course, we know our Scorpio, but we'll just read the card Asks you to dive down and reach into the wellspring of your soul. Scorpio's symbols are the eagle and the scorpion, and this sign invokes both the soaring heights of the eagle's perspective and the scorpion's ability to burrow under the rocks of the psyche or culture. This fixed water sign is ruled by Mars in traditional astrology and co-ruled by Pluto. It's connected to the pelvis and the root chakra. So this is about dropping assumptions and asking questions. Be fascinated by mystery and deep dive into the well rather than settle for the surface. Look under the rocks and be curious and do your research. Take nothing at face value. Oh, I like this.

Speaker 2: 10:14

All right.

Speaker 1: 10:14

So the gift with this card is transformation. Scorpio loans you the strength and curiosity to plumb the depths and face your monsters. Then soar to new heights and transform your situation so yummy.

Speaker 2: 10:29

Okay, cool, so that's for October, and the sun enters Scorpio on the 22nd of October, so that's pretty late in the month. But I feel like the Scorpionic energy starts, at least for me in the northern hemisphere. Like way up in the northern hemisphere, where I am, it sort of begins now like the leaves have already fallen and it's really dark outside now and you start to feel that magic just in the air. And I mean, I feel like we're in the middle of eclipse season right now. We had a lunar eclipse what was it? A week and a half ago, something like that and next week we have a solar eclipse. And eclipses are, to me at least, I feel like they are sort of similar to Scorpio energy, because they're also very just magic filled and there's just intensity and magic unravels and there's like twists and turns that you don't know and things come up to the surface that you didn't know about.

Speaker 1: 11:35

And yeah, it's a pretty crazy time's a I love that phrase magic unravels yeah, that's good, that's good. So what's what's october starting out with? What's our energy to start?

Speaker 2: 11:46

I didn't even look yet, I'm just pulling yeah, it actually starts with a new moon solar eclipse in libra on the second of october excellent, Like a reminder about what eclipses are about. It's, yeah, like I said, like very intense emotions, but also very all over the place. You'd never know what to expect when it's an eclipse. It's not like now. It's a new moon. Now we should do like you know set our intentions On a new moon solar eclipse. You do not set intentions, you do not make intentions, you do not make particular like spell work like this is exactly what I want to have into my life.

Speaker 1: 12:23

It's better to sort of just be open and observant and sort of flexible during this time right, we've got that air energy, so it's it's a lot of being open, but really in this, uh, I keep getting the word peacefulness, harmonious energy.

Speaker 2: 12:39

Right, we're searching for peace and harmony yeah, it's interesting that it's in libra, because I'm thinking about, yeah, it's about harmony and balance, and now in the world is very much not that. No, um, so this being a, an eclipse, new moon in libra, well, yeah, we don't know what to expect. All we know is that it might be a little intense, and I think the best thing to do is to observe, and I don't mean like, don't do anything to help anyone, I mean like in your own private life, observe what's going on inside of you and like in your close environment, and, um, it's not a time to, to to start new big things, like otherwise, it would be great for a new moon, but now it's like not with the eclipse.

Speaker 1: 13:27

The eclipse energy almost like shuts that off for a little bit so that you can work on other things yeah it's like, it's almost like a little bit, so that you can work on other things.

Speaker 2: 13:33

Yeah, it's like it's almost like it's too windy, like you can't you can't throw a paper plane when it's too windy. It's sort of like this like the paper plane is the intention, but don't throw it now because it's not going to land where you think it's going to land. And if you want it to land where you want to, then wait until the eclipse season is over, which is about two weeks after the solar eclipse?

Speaker 1: 13:58

yes, anyway, that's how we're starting the month. All right, start the month with really checking the values and harmony and relationships and peace, searching for those things.

Speaker 2: 14:11

I think at least that's what I'm looking for yeah, see if we get, and I hope so on october 4th. Venus is the scorpio and will be in a trying to saturn in pisces that's so nice yeah I really like that yeah I know it feels like very emotional because of pisces, very intense because of scorpio. Venus brings also that wanting to relate to each other and and saturn is sort of bringing the, the karmic spin to everything, saturn and making us do the work right.

Speaker 1: 14:50

This is, this is always what I'm. Every time I see Saturn, I'm like, ooh, okay, there's gotta be mature in this situation, right? So if it's Venus and Saturn, you, you want to be mature about spending your money. You want to be responsible about who you're spending your time with, right? These are all Saturn themes time, responsibility, maturity. And then Venus is money, relationships, values. So when you have those two, in a lovely trine.

Speaker 1: 15:23

It's great and sometimes we have to. We want to spend money on this, but we have to be a little bit more discerning, a little bit more mature and go. Maybe we should should wait on that, or maybe let's wait till next paycheck but I like this combining pisces and scorpio.

Speaker 2: 15:41

Like pisces is so good for for being kind for, for sort of, for being um empathetic and feeling other people out, like feeling how how people around you are doing and helping other people, and the scorpio energy brings this intense, so it's like almost like you're going to be able to be intense, uh, in a in a very open sort of way. Scorpio isn't so open, but pisces is prices share. Pisces wants to be friends and help out and understand.

Speaker 2: 16:15

Yeah and understand. So this is like a great. I would love to just on this day, like be in it, like go to like a women's day retreat and like sit in a circle, like do a huge sharing and cry and be held. Huge sharing and cry and be held.

Speaker 1: 16:30

Yes, that sounds lovely. Well, you can come on October 12th. You can come, but that's when we're doing our events, so you can come and do that then.

Speaker 2: 16:38

Thanks, it's a little late, I know.

Speaker 1: 16:41

I know I want to do it on the 4th Right, we'll have to switch that around for next time. So we've got that lovely energy. And then what's happening on the fifth? Mercury and Mars are square, so we've got our mind and our drive are a little bit not harmonious. We may have to deal with some fighting or some arguments, and this could be outside of us or it could be inside of us. So if you've got people in your life, maybe mark your calendar. If you've got people in your life, maybe mark your calendar. If you've got children in your life, maybe mark your calendar. This might be a day where there's just some excess fighting. October 5th. This could be where there's some challenges around what you want to do or what you want to say, or maybe you use that Mars energy to maybe say things you don't mean. Maybe things fly out your mouth a little too fast.

Speaker 2: 17:34

Yeah, yeah, and Mars in Cancer can get very protective because Mars is that fighter and Cancer is the home energy, so you get protective of your home and also very patriotic. So, yeah, maybe a little bit of ego involved.

Speaker 1: 17:49

I can see this with my kids. Every time I've been, I've been really paying attention to my, my teenagers and the transits, and I feel like teenagers are really great at acting out the transits in the sky. It's like they're just very in tune with it, whether they know it or not, and their moodiness definitely mimics what's going on in the sky. So I've been really paying attention and I can see this day particularly. I actually just put it on my calendar Like just expect fights among siblings, just expect it. It's. It would be dumb not to. And if you have a day where they don't fight, freaking good, high five, yeah, you, but otherwise, if you expect it, then you know, oh, oh, this is the day where, literally, the planets in the sky are not they're fighting. Mercury and mars square to each other. That's a fight. Oh my god that's a fight.

Speaker 2: 18:45

I want to be alone that day.

Speaker 1: 18:47

Right, that is a fight. So we have to be mindful and help our kids through that, help our spouses through that. I can see now that is a fight. So we have to be mindful and help our kids through that, help our spouses through that. I can see now this is a Saturday, so I can see where you know if they're home from school or whatever. That's relationships. I'm actually teaching a relationship class the night before that. I should make sure to let everybody know that they might be fighting tomorrow. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2: 19:13

Gotcha Things you never want to know.

Speaker 1: 19:18

Well, for real, by the way, tomorrow you might have a huge fight, yeah, but if you know that, you can also recognize that maybe you need to remove yourself from the situation. If you're feeling a little bit spicy, right.

Speaker 2: 19:29

Exactly. You can check yourself. You can be like you know you. You can be like you know you get the feeling bubbling up and you get like, oh, but then you realize, oh my god, what was it that lauren said, right? Oh, today's, yeah, mars, square, mercury, maybe. Maybe it's not all just me.

Speaker 1: 19:46

I mean, it is me, but it's also being provoked by something mercury, mercury and Libra, like this is the mind of the lawyer.

Speaker 1: 19:55

So, if you've been wanting to state your case for a while, if stuff has been building up in the background of your life or maybe you're building up resentments towards you know, let's say, my spouse used to leave he doesn't anymore because we've worked through it but for years he would make coffee and he has a pour over coffee maker and he would let it sit on the side of the sink and drain and then he'd leave and go to work. And then I'm home with the kids and then this drip coffee thing is dripping down into my sink like staining it, and this was like one of those things that just crawled under my skin every day, right, and I remember asking nicely and he just like, ok, yeah, I'll work on it, but then, like it never did, this is a day October 5th is a day where those types of little things can build, build, build, build. And then they come out with, like this big lawyer, like case right, where you're like making your statement to the
