Pisces Moons Shadow By the Book

The fastest way to ruin a much-needed reset is to treat it like a productivity contest. Today’s daily astrology report zooms in on a void-of-course Moon in Pisces and why the smartest move is to slow down, breathe, and let yourself recalibrate. We’re coming up on the end of August, the mood runs nostalgic, and the remedy is surprisingly old-school: rest that actually restores, time with people who make you feel safe, and a deliberate break from doomscrolling or numbing habits that only multiply anxiety.

We also dig into the Pisces Virgo axis and eclipse balance, including the tension between logic and belief and how to reconnect with spirituality from the inside out instead of waiting for permission from “above.” The day’s keyword is revitalization, the color is indigo, and the advice stays practical: listen first when something disruptive pops up, then act from understanding instead of impulse. Creativity is in the air too, but there’s no pressure to perform, just an invitation to connect with like-minded folks and let art and music do their quiet work.

Then we take a fun turn into modern western astrology versus traditional astrology with a real debate: is Pisces ruled by Neptune, Jupiter, or both? We unpack why the ancient ruler still matters, how Jupiter’s inward turn can describe the inner journey (and the risk of illusion), and why “old” and “new” frameworks can fit together. We even close with a quick historical sidebar on John Locke, liberalism, and how foundational ideas shaped US government.

Void-Of-Course Pisces Moon Basics

SPEAKER_00 0:12

of course in Pisces until 10.38 p.m. tonight. So it's time we give ourselves a break and just kick back. Let's do it, okay? A void of course moon is a focused moon, okay? And that focused moon is gonna be in Pisces. So it's an opportunity for us to put the Virgo season frustrations behind us, okay? Um, look, we also have an opportunity to reconnect with our past in a meaningful way that is both loving and inspiring. We're feeling nostalgic today. Let's let's uh family is gonna help us with those feelings. There's no uh look, there's so much pain in the world, and and uh we're looking to numb that sensation with social media over, you know, maybe social media overload or and or substances. And uh we don't want to do it. This only brings about a more nuanced and curated flood of what it is that is worrying us. So don't do it. Just get out there and just enjoy it. Get into the get into it. Don't be don't sit there by yourself and don't be sitting there just doom scrolling in the corner. And you know, just think

Rest, Nostalgia, And Social Connection

SPEAKER_00 1:34

about what you're doing. Now, this only brings it look, put those worries out of your mind today. Something is causing disruption, and you gotta just listen first, okay? Listen first to fully understand what it is before you act, okay? Those disruptions. Look, my take on astrology is a little different, and you should know that just by being here, right? And look, and I know this, and and I know that I'm also a driven person. Um, you know, my writing and recording schedule demands of me, and I do it in service to all of you. Now you don't have to be like that, okay? Just take and take a day and just have it for yourself. Let's just get this done, right? Uh now I'm doing the family thing tomorrow, and that's gonna be fun. Celebrating a couple birthdays, including my daughter. Um, but there's other people in the family that share August and September birthdays, so this is gonna be a chance for everybody to get together and jointly celebrate all that stuff now. Um you can choose to create something today, if you want. So you can be like me. You can do that if you really want to, but you gotta make sure that the energy is what you want to be doing, where you want to go with it, right? Um look, everything is just everything is set just to reach a reset point, and this is gonna help restore the Pisces Virgo ax axis. I've been talking a lot about that, but really that that will help to reset that. And today's keyword is revitalization, and our color is indigo. No, look, resting is gonna work today wonder wonders today, okay? Resting is gonna work wonders today. Enjoy the company of others and stay engaged socially. Logic and reason are playing in the deep end of the pool, and this is where you're gonna find Mars. Art, music, and other forms of creativity are in the air. But I don't expect you to do anything about it today,

Revitalization, Indigo, And The Eclipse

SPEAKER_00 3:45

other than connect with like-minded folks. Now, the eclipse and Virgo is slowly restoring the balance between Pisces and Virgo. That's the eclipse was in Pisces. So the Eclipse and Pisces is slowly returning the balance between Pisces and Virgo. Remember, real life typos caught it there. We were tr for we were foregoing logic and reason and replaced it with what we believed in. Okay, we then exchanged that for religious zealotry, religious justifications, and uh losing our divine connection because we think that it has to come from top down rather than from within, right? The divine connection, right? That divine connection inside of all of us, and it didn't come within from within. The focused moon in Pisces should help us calm the monkey mind, right? That wants to do everything and instead cause us to passively wait for the right time. Okay, that's kind of where a lot of the frustration's coming from. Now, later on tonight the chill's gonna end, the moon enters Aries, and now we have free energy to use according to how we feel. That's later on tonight. Okay, so

Neptune Vs Jupiter As Pisces Ruler

SPEAKER_00 5:22

a couple of interesting points in there, right? We're talking about uh Virgo Pisces, Pisces being um Pisces being co-ruled by Neptune and Jupiter now. Somebody took, I said that, and they went in with it, and they said, wait, wait, the ruler of Pisces is Neptune. My answer was no, the ancient rulers before the modern planets were discovered, um were the ancient ruler of Pisces is Jupiter. Now, Jupiter has a uh has a very interesting kind of mechanic there as it works together as a ruler of Pisces, right? Because, you know, think about it. Sagittarius is expansion outward, right? It's a masculine sign, it's expansive outward, it's that optimism, it's that, it's that good luck, right? When you flip it around, you've got going inside, right? There's an inner journey that we fall into. There's, you know, it can spiral, it can be a you know, we can get lost in that inner journey. A lot of people say it's delusions and delusions, right? That's where Neptune kind of gets its its its illusion and delusion thing from. It's not necessarily because um because of uh Neptune, it's because of it's because of Jupiter when it turns inward and we go inward with it. So that's an interesting thought. And a lot of the other, you know, the other planets that do that, Saturn and Mars, being in Aquarius and Scorpio, also come from the ancient rulers. You know, a lot of those traits and everything like that come from the ancient rulers. So it's kind of interesting and it's very instrumental, and it it shows us it how the old ways can work with the new ways. Old astrology works with new astrology and be able to put it all together, right? That's why it's called modern western astrology, because it's it it's it it's made to make sense, right? Because that's basically where we're at. Um, you know. Okay, so I just said that, and I think that that's a good w way to leave it. So thank you so much for joining me. I appreciate and love every single one of you. Leave comments like that because those comments burden on these kind of conversations. And these are the kind of conversations that I want to have with all of you as well, uh, as well as the

John Locke, Liberalism, And Closing

SPEAKER_00 7:43

daily reports and things like that, okay. Now, in 1708 there was a raid in Hayward, Massachusetts, by French, Algonquin, and Abenaki forces that killed or captured about 40 people. It's part of what was called the Queen Anne's War, or the war uh which was what the Wars of Spanish Succession were called here in um in the colonies back then. Okay, and so the French had orchestrated that as a raid on Massachusetts. So and our birth is John Locke. Now I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Now, John Locke is a philosopher, he's born in 1632, and he's an um English empiricist philosopher. He's uh he's an influential Enlightenment thinker, and he's the father of liberalism. Now, think about it. The form of government of the United States to to represent a democracy or republic is actually a um a Western liberal idea, right? And that's really where these came from. Two treatises of government um by John Locke. Now think now, you know, m liberal Western democracy, as opposed to what? A monarchy or an autocratic state with a with a you know a singular head or anything like that. So you know, wasn't always a bad word, folks, that modern liberal or you know, liberalism wasn't always the evil word that they bandy about now. Oh, we've got to own the libs. No, it's not owning the libs. You're not gonna own John Locke. You wouldn't have a form of government without John Locke. So he's born in uh uh uh Rington, and that's in England. And he died, like I said, he died in 1704, and that is all I have for you. Thank you so much for joining me. I appreciate and love every single one of you. Today, well, let's sum it up, shall we? Our color is our our color is indigo, and our key word is revitalization. And that's all I have for you. Today's a five happy astrocatting, and I hope you enjoy it. Enjoy some time for yourself. Bye.
