Your metrics are climbing, your brain is buzzing, and somehow you still feel like you’re falling behind. That’s the tension we unpack today as the Moon starts out void-of-course in Virgo and then slides into Libra, flipping the mood from “do it myself” to “I need help with this.” I share why that impulse can be real and still not the right reason to pause, especially for solo entrepreneurs, creators, and anyone trying to ship work consistently.

We lean into the day’s keyword, BONUS, and talk about the hidden trap: the dopamine chase. When numbers jump and platforms light up with little rewards, it’s easy to let the noise steer the day. I connect that to Sun and Uranus in Gemini energy, where curiosity and tech can either fuel your creativity or splinter your focus. The practical takeaway is to put the ball into play, protect your attention, and make something tangible before you start refreshing the scoreboard.

Then we go deeper with Neptune, which I describe less as a cartoon sea god and more as the vast inner sea: beautiful, misty, and risky. We talk about how creativity can come with a price if you untether, and why Mercury in Gemini can help you pull real art, language, and ideas out of that fog. Finally, I highlight a short-lived creative grand trine in air signs that favors communication, quick iteration, and smart tweaks to your offering, plus a candid look at growing a podcast audience across platforms.

Memorial Day Welcome And Setup

SPEAKER_00

Hey everybody, Shane here, dailyastracat.com, and today is Monday. It's the 25th of May. It's Memorial Day here in the United States, right? So it's kind of a holiday, right, uh, for a lot of people. Um if you're at work, I hope you're making time and a half. And if you're not, it's day for some astrology. Let's go. Or if you're going to work, listen in, okay? Because that's where we get most of our people listening to us on podcasts and stuff like

Void-Of-Course Moon Ends In Libra

SPEAKER_00

that. So the moon begins today, Voidacorse. And it's in Virgo, and it will enter Libra at 1034 in the morning. Okay, so we've got some time to get some stuff done today, right? No more Voidacorse moon. Not for a little while, anyway, right? Now we're gonna try to find a reason to not do the things that we thought we needed to do yesterday. Does that make sense? This is rough on the solo entrepreneurs because the Libra energy is making us feel like, hey, we could use some help with this. You know, like maybe a partner or something like that, right? Yeah, but it's also gonna trigger some cardinal sign oppositions that's gonna insist this, right? Oh yeah, opposite Neptune, opposite Saturn. Oh, we need some help. No, you're not gonna get help because the moon's only here for a couple of days. It goes like that, right? Hold that thought. Hold the thought because you may think you need a partner, you may think you need somebody there, it's still there, but that ball is still in play. Remember yesterday's pinball analogy? Yep, that ball is still in play. Remember, don't take your eye off of it. Oh, I put my ball into play last night. I'm racking up a record. Okay, record high score on one platform. You better believe it. It's just going bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. And uh actually on another platform, too, it did uh got little confetti sparkles and stuff like that because uh hey, this stuff's taken off, right? So put the ball into play. I'm not sure if it's because I told somebody, somebody asked me if the moon will be turned green. I told him, yeah, sure it will. Just put on some uh green tinted glasses, you'll be fine, right? No, actually there's a scientific reason why it won't do that. And I I I enumerated that in my response. Go back and look at you look at yesterday's uh comments. That would be a good thing to do, right? So look, record highs, we're doing great. Uh my podcast continues to grow organically. What does this mean for you? Well, whatever you put into play yesterday, I hope it's

Bonus Energy And The Dopamine Chase

SPEAKER_00

doing the same thing. I hope you're getting the same kind of results and everything like that, right? Now, the bells and noises that are going off, all that stuff, that that that that watching those numbers, you know, watching those numbers climb and all that stuff, look, is trying to distract us, but that the thrill is in hearing of all that commotion and watching those numbers, right? They go higher and higher. This feeds the sun and Uranus and Gemini a dopamine hit. Now, the chase will continue today. So the only advice I have for you is to stay creative because we're in bonus territory, and that's today's key word, bonus. All right, so our color is lilac because you know, Libra likes those pastel tones, uh, you know, the softer shade of purple. And today the sun in Gemini can begin to shine through. Okay, so it's been cold and overcast here in New England. Oh, yes, it has. And um, you know, some people are even saying I'm turning my heat on. I I did have the heat on today. Um, look, and it warms up tomorrow, but it's still gonna be raining. And it looks like the coming weekend is gonna be more of the same. So uh the sun that's coming out in Gemini beginning to shine through, it's metaphorical here 100%. So, tech is still pulling playing annoying tricks on us, pulling tricks. It's just like just like all right, annoying. And a commitment has been made, and that ball is in play. Now, are we gonna make this dream manifest itself? Yes, we are. We are going to make this dream manifest itself.

Neptune As Beauty And Danger

SPEAKER_00

Neptune is one of the planets I tend to take the most liberties with. Why? Well, because I prefer to think of Neptune as the hierarchy of Venus. That's not a new thought. And as such, that makes Neptune a female planet. Kind of gives some balance to the structure of things, right? No sea god, no seaweed smelling sea god, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not some coastal s seagod. It's it's Neptune, the vast sea, the sea inside, right? Now, and uh, you know, uh she's beautiful, she's misty, she's beautiful, and she's just as beau as beautiful as she is, she's just as dangerous, right? That depth is both her greatest strength and greatest peril. Most uh you know, think about it, there's great uh the there's great creativity here, and sometimes that comes with a price. How many musicians have been heavily into drugs or alcohol? That's kind of a Neptune thing, right? Now, Mercury and Gemini is trying to tease something out of Venus. Out of this version of Venus, Neptune, right? Yes. Let's tease something out of Neptune. What can we get Neptune to give us? Well, Neptune's good with art, good with creativity, good with all of that stuff, right? But you gotta remain tethered. So, put away your distractions, and why don't you try and see what you can build today,

Creative Grand Trine For Better Ideas

SPEAKER_00

right? And we have something going on today that's gonna be very, very interesting. Now, emotionally, we told you already that the intuition has kind of taken over. Most people won't be tuned into that vibe, however. But you are, because you listen here, right? And there's there's an undercurrent there. Now, there's a creative grand trine that you're gonna hear a lot about, right? Oh, creative grand trine. We've got Uranus and and uh the sun, and we've got Pluto, and we've got the moon, all in air signs, and they're gonna create form a creative grand trine. What the heck is that gonna be good for? Well, briefly, it's gonna highlight our ability to think outside the box suddenly and creatively and creatively, okay? We got some creative stuff going on there. It will favors communication, it favors ideas, and our relationship to technology, whether it's worsening or not, right? Now, it is deepening whether you want it to or not. This grand trine will allow us to tweak our offerings, but only for today because the moon moves quickly through it, right? You're still gonna have the little talent trine out there that's anchored between Pluto and where the sun is and where uh Uranus is, and that's not gonna change for pretty much the whole summer. So that those two planets, those planets are gonna be right there. Now, the Grand Trine, yep, tweak our offerings, but just for today. And try to take advantage of it, because this is actually bonus time. And the Grand Trine roughly lasts until about midnight. Plan on using this energy to augment your efforts and to communicate your ideas.

Growing An Audience And Finding Help

SPEAKER_00

I am looking for ways to expand the number of podcast listeners. What are you looking to accomplish?

unknown

Hmm.

SPEAKER_00

I'd like to try to find a way to do that. It'd be nice, right? Not quite sure how to go about it, but hey, you know, maybe some advertising or something like that. Who knows? I might decide to throw a little bit of money that way, right? Do it occasionally with some of the platforms. Um, not very, very often, though. Haven't done it yet on um on uh TikTok, and I've I've done it on YouTube once and I did it on Facebook once. Um Instagram seems to be gaining some traction, but uh for some reason, Facebook seems to be adding um new listeners just about every day, so or new people that like and follow what I do. So uh even if it's not I don't know if the the uh short version makes it over there or not. However, that's not that's neither for here nor there nor to contemplate something to find out, right? That's where I need that partner. But you know what? Let it go. Because it's only gonna be happening when I decide to make it happen, right? And what are you gonna be doing, right? What are you gonna accomplish? You gonna do some better graphics? Are you thinking about better response times to engagements? What is it? That sun in Gemini is really gonna have us thinking about these things and what can we do better? All right, so

On This Date Trivia And Wrap-Up

SPEAKER_00

let's go. Down my Gilbert and Sullivan thing, right? Okay, so on this date in 1878, Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera, the HMS Pinafore, premieres in London. Their first international success. And our birth took me down a rabbit hole tonight, which is why I'm a little bit late, is Bill Robinson. He's born in 1878 and died in 1949. May not know him by name, but you certainly know him by sight because he's the guy that did the staircase dance with Shirley Temple. He's an American actor and tap dancer. He did Stormy Weather and The Little Colonel, which is where that tap dance scene comes from. And he's born in Richmond, Virginia. And that is all I have for you. Let's recap, shall we? Today's keyword is bonus, and the color is lilac. Thank you so much for joining me. Appreciate and love every single one of you. Keep that love coming.
