Welcome to the third episode of Starring Stephanie Campos, starring me, Stephanie Campos. This is the week of February 9th through the 15th. So much has gone on this week, both personally and collectively. For those of you who have been following along with me the past few months, my sister is finally out of the hospital. She's been in the hospital since mid-December, and it's been pretty much almost two months of her being in the hospital. And she has Rhett syndrome. So she's disabled and she's nonverbal. And so my mom stays with her in the hospital every single night. And the only way for my mom to get a break is for me to come. And I have a timely toddler. So it's just been a lot of in the beginning, I was going there every single day in December, which like totally led to burnout. And then I started going every other day, but still it's been, you know, emotionally draining and scary and all of the things. And I'm so incredibly grateful that she's back at home, that my mom gets to be back at home. And also every time she gets out of the hospital, I have this major like adrenaline dump where I've just kind of been operating in survival mode for almost two months straight, and I don't really realize it. And I just something clicks and I just kind of fall apart. So that is what was happening with me this week. I'm very grateful she's at home. Um but yeah, it's this moment where, you know, anytime she has these big hospitalizations, I am just kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop. And it's a lot on my nervous system, everybody's nervous system, and it's a lot to process. So that's kind of what I've been moving through. But again, I just want to say thank you so much to every single person who prayed, who asked for her name, who reached out, who left a comment. I saw all of your comments, even if I didn't respond to all of them, and they really, really meant so so much to me. And let's unpack some of the news. Okay, I want to start with a positive news item. In 2025, community and local pushback led to the cancellation of 25 data centers. The local opposition was able to shut down the building and construction of these centers, which would have been responsible for 4.7 gigawatts of electricity. And this is a huge increase because in 2024, community pushback only led to the cancellation of six centers, and the year before that, only two. Now, also this week, a little more grim. Okay, definitely more grim. The United Nations announced that the world has officially entered its era of global water bankruptcy. We have something like 13 years and 330 some odd days until the world runs out of fresh water. Now, why is this tied to the data centers? Well, if you don't know, the data centers that are fueling AI, chatbots, chat GPT are guzzling gallons, millions of gallons of fresh water every single day. Every time you have an interaction with a chatbot, with some sort of AI, whether it's chat GPT or something of the like, it's equivalent to just pouring out fresh water, a water bottle. One thing we can do is delete Chat GPT because ChatGPT is contributing to the loss and the destruction of Earth by consuming our fresh water, which is a limited resource. And that company is also one of the single largest donors to the Trump administration. Now, another news item that I want to highlight that is a little bit more hopeful. On February 8th, incarcerated people across Alabama are going on a strike. This work strike is known as the Free Alabama movement. There is a list of demands and reforms that they are asking to be put in place. You may know that the 13th Amendment abolished slavery. If you're listening to the audio version, I used some poll quotes around that because in the 13th Amendment, it states that slavery is abolished except as punishment for a crime. And if you are not well versed or educated in the prison industrial complex, I would invite you to watch the movie 13th, which is an incredibly powerful and heartbreaking film and documentary that takes us from the origins of enslavement in this country and shows how it has evolved into the current prison industrial complex and policing. And it's so important that we elevate and support these incarcerated people's work strike however best we can. In 2024, the state tried to starve out those who participated in the strike by refusing to give them food. You can contact legislative members in Alabama and demand that they listen to the demands of this strike and make adjustments and reforms. You can tell others about this strike. You can also go to freeallabama movement.com to learn more. Remember, no one is free until we are all free. As always, there is so much more to cover, but that's what I have today. Okay, let's start out with the best astrology of the week. On Tuesday, February 10th, Venus enters Pisces. Venus is said to be exalted in the sign of Pisces. And in traditional astrology, that means that Venus, the planet of love, personal values, our creativity, our desire, and even our finances, gets this extra boost and support and is better able to lean into those Venusian qualities of pleasure and presence when it moves through the sign of Pisces. So this might be a period of time, depending on your birth chart, where you are feeling a little bit more flow and ease regarding some of those topics in your life. You could have a steamy encounter with someone, you could have a meaningful interaction with someone, you could have a burst or a rush of creativity, or maybe you are embodying your personal values in a way that makes you feel grounded and authentic. Venus will be in Pisces for a few weeks, but what I think makes this year's transit stand out is that Venus is not going to be co-present with Saturn and Pisces. Since March of 2023, Saturn has been in the sign of Pisces. And every time that Venus enters Pisces, it's sitting there next to Saturn. There is a whole sign conjunction between these two planets. And if Venus is this positive planet that brings a sense of hope and support, Saturn is this planet of limitations and challenges and responsibility and consequences. And so it can really hamper or restrict our ability to let Venus shine. So this year in particular, Saturn is going to leave Pisces and enter Aries on the 13th. And that means during Venus's tour through the sign of Pisces, for the majority of it, it is going to be free of Saturn's grasp. So this is really a powerful time to work with your intuition, to work on building connections, building community, getting to know your neighbors, getting more involved on a local level, for making new friendships, for sharing your art, your message, your storytelling, your lived experience with the world and with others. People are excited about what you have to share, what you want to create. And there's just a little bit more flow and ease and connection available to us. Okay, now the worst astrology of the week is Friday, February 13th. Saturn enters Aries. So this kind of blows for a couple of reasons. One, Saturn is in fall when it's in the sign of Aries, which means it struggles more. It is a more difficult expression of Saturn. Saturn, like I said, has to do with limitations, boundaries, structure. It has to do with consequences, responsibility. It also has to do with tradition and authority figures. Oftentimes we see harmful or violent or just very, very poor authority figures when Saturn moves through the sign of Aries. Can you pick up on what I'm putting down? Now we had a preview of Saturn moving through the sign of Aries last year from May 24th through September 1st. So if you can think about any major beginnings or changes that took place around those two dates in particular, this will give you a preview of what's to come when Saturn re-enters Aries. Now, with Saturn entering Aries, it also means it is leaving the Pisces section of your chart. So there is some major storyline and integration of lessons that you've learned since March of 2023 in the Pisces section of your birth chart. I find that when Saturn leaves a sign and moves into another sign, typically it does deliver some sort of blessing or relief or some sort of gift in a way. Even if it doesn't feel like a gift in the moment, maybe in retrospect you will be able to recognize it as such. But there is a major ending that is taking place in the Pisces section of your chart, and you're going to start learning lessons regarding the Aries section of your birth chart. If you have planets in Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, especially in the first 10 degrees or so, maybe even the first 15 degrees, you're gonna be the main characters for the next year because Saturn will be traveling between those degrees for this year. So when Saturn moves through Aries, we might also experience consequences for making rash decisions. Perhaps we are learning how to work with our anger and our sacred rage productively. I think this is a beautiful time to learn self-defense, to focus on embodiment, to channel our rage and our anger in a way on a consistent and daily basis, and to use our intentions to funnel that rage and that anger towards people and institutions who deserve it. Again, are you picking up what I'm putting down? But this is a long transit. Saturn is going to be moving through the sign of Aries for the next two years or so, and it is also co-present with Neptune, which we will definitely be talking about next week because we have a Saturn-Neptune conjunction in the Sign of Aries at zero degrees, which is a cosmic BFD. If you want to know more about Saturn and Aries and what it means for you, I get into it this week on my podcast. If you join my Patreon, you can get seven episodes of your daily horoscope for the week ahead. And if you want to learn more about astrology or how to translate these cosmic energies yourself, or even learn more about tarot or strengthening your relationship with your intuition, I am hosting the next iteration of Grimoire, which is my 12-week class that covers all types of various topics from developing our relationship with our spirit team to connecting with our guides for doing ancestral healing, for learning astrology, learning tarot, doing psychic development, and so much more. And I would love to see you there. There will be a link in the show notes. Okay, what is another major BFD taking place this week? On Wednesday, February 11th, Mercury is going to enter its pre-retrograde shadow period. Now, this is taking place at eight degrees. So if you have any planets or placements around eight degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, you're the main characters. This just means from this moment forward, we are really getting loud clues to our personal Mercury retrograde story. Mercury is going to go retrograde on February 25th, but the pre-shadow period I always find tends to be the most difficult, for me at least. It's when there's miscommunications, or I take something the wrong way, or you know, things just seem to go wrong. And then during the retrograde, we're reflecting, we're retooling, we are fixing little things or finding different paths or ideas to different solutions to some of our problems or issues. And then the post-retrograde shadow period is kind of like the final sweep up of it. But I find that the pre-retrograde can be a little messy. So just keep in mind like what conversations are taking place, who are you focused on, what are you focusing your energy on? Because this is going to give clues into your personal and our collective Mercury retrograde story. So this is a big week. We are in eclipse season technically, even though the first eclipse doesn't happen until February 17th. But if you feel like time is bending in weird ways and there are faded people entering or exiting your life, or just major shifts that are unfolding, things that you've been thinking about, but maybe avoiding, and it's and it's happening all of the sudden, you're not alone. It's because we are in this portal of eclipse season. Okay, this week I also figured out how to export my video with higher resolution. I'm gonna just pat myself on the back. Cause I've been trying to figure that out since January of 2025. Embarrassing, right? A whole year? How is it possible, you may ask? Sleep deprivation, ADHD, depression, capitalism. I don't know. There's probably a lot of reasons why it took me so long, but I'm so grateful. So hopefully, for those of you who are tuning in on YouTube, you are enjoying the high quality version. And if you do not already follow and subscribe to my YouTube channel, please do. I'm trying to blow up there since um a ton of evil tech humans own all of the social media accounts. So, you know. Okay, let's see what the cards have to say. Okay, we have the Ten of Wands, the Hanged Man, and the Ace of Swords. This just to me screams you've been exhausted, you've been working so hard, you feel maybe underappreciated, maybe you feel physically or emotionally exhausted, and you're kind of at a standstill. You're like, I don't know where to go from here. Do I continue pouring my effort and energy into this? Do I start something new? Do I just give up altogether? There is this physical and mental exhaustion that is coming through. But let us not forget that the hanged man has this beautiful halo of light around the figure's head. And to me, that speaks to insight, divine guidance. When we choose to surrender, which is obviously easier said than done. But when we can sit in the stillness, when we can sit with the discomfort, when we can pause and tune out other people's noise and expectations, that is when Ace of Swords, the new idea, the new thought pattern, whatever is helping to break our limiting beliefs and rewire our neural pathways so we can move in a different direction. That breakthrough that we're waiting for is going to come. So maybe spend some time alone this week. And as always, if you want a more in-depth weekly psychic reading, I offer one every single week over on my Patreon. And I also have monthly meetups. This month we did a tarot reading and psychic development circle, which was so much fun. Next month we are going to be doing a group collective spell for the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere. And I really can't wait. Alrighty, everyone. Thank you so much for tuning in, and I'll see you next week.
