Hello, my name is Jasmine Lee, and I am not your mama's astrologer. Welcome to the week. This week is a dispersion of sorts, of all of this energy. And I know you guys know what I'm talking about. It has been a few weeks, maybe months, maybe lifetimes of this heavy ass energy that has hung around, that has made things feel hard, that has taken its toll. And this week, there is a dispersion of that hard energy. And like that's not to say that all of a sudden everything's gonna get easy peasy lemon squeezy. That's not at all what it is. It's more like when you press really hard on a part of your body and then you let it go, and all of the blood rushes to that part of your body and it makes a mark. That's where we're at. We've made a mark. We are marked forever as a result of this really heady astrology that has been hitting us. And it's not done yet. But the good news is that just like this chestal cough and head cold I have had for what feels like forever starts to break apart and become just a sound in my throat. So too does the energy that wants us to remember where we came from, to remember what this period of time did to us and not just to us, but for us. What got cleared out of the way. I feel like I've aged 10 years. Yo, I do, I super do. And what does one do when they come through a long, desertous, horrid time? Well, we drink water and we take a deep breath and we reset and we, yes, disperse. We disperse that energy, we allow this and that to be true, and we become liminal. We become these liminal beings because this week there's a lot of planets changing signs. There's three. There's Mars, Venus, and the Sun changing signs this week. And they're all dancing with Mercury. And Mercury is making touches on our dream space Neptune, on the nodes of fate, on Saturn, our lessons. And so there is this quality about this week that asks us to get a little more clear on what it is that just frickin' happened and what we want to do about it. So today we have not only Mars moving into Taurus, but we have Venus also moving into Cancer. Now, Mars has a little bit of a harder time in Taurus because it asks our warrior to be slow. It asks our warrior to take a breath, take a hot minute, and think about it, because Taurus is the tortoise, not the hair. And Taurus is gonna get where they're going, but it's gonna be on their time. So when Mars, this very fast-acting, this very like hair string trigger planet, moves into Taurus, it is an opportunity to reset our defense mechanisms, to reset our triggers. To when we do in fact get triggered, think about that for a minute and be like, oof, I just got a little bit triggered. I just today went on a walking field trip with my son's class. I got triggered a couple times. That's true. I did. Watching your kid not behave well, or watching a group of kids that you can't get to come together, it can initially set off a triggering, but then it is that moment, and I felt it today of wait, take a breath. What do you do now? When the trigger happens, you can recognize it, you can see it, and then you can choose to get organized with it. You can choose to have a plan and then execute that plan. So there's going to be more availability for that. Venus moving into cancer, that's super yummy. Mom vibes in our love sector, hell yeah. Be the nurturer, get nurtured, do the damn thing. And, you know, there I was, momming on a walking field trip, not being super impressed with how my child was acting, but at the same time, understanding that I am his mom and that I am intrinsically going to see that whole tapestry different. And how do I de-escalate myself and allow and surrender and see what the dynamic is just to understand it better? I think so often in our lives, we think that when we witness something, that then we have to do something about it. And the truth is we don't. The truth is you can turn on that neutral observer, that part of you that just watches and discerns very Mars and Taurus, discernment, seeing what's going on, backing up a little bit, thinking about it, and making a plan for how you want to approach how you feel about that. And Venus and Mars are supporting us to do so. Venus and Cancer wants to help. Venus and Cancer wants to support, nurture, and love love. And I think that that is just what we all need right now. I know for me personally, not having my mom, there is this missing, this intrinsic bone, marrow, epically intense yearning for a cold washcloth on my forehead sometimes, for a rubbing of my back, for those moments that only your mother can truly quench. And without her, sometimes the world feels a little more deserted, feels a little more desolate, feels a little more on my own. And when astrology like this happens, it is an opportunity to allow others to nurture you in ways that maybe could help, that maybe could move the dial of the missing of the longing. And sometimes it's just a cat on the lap or a walk with your dog, or, you know, an end-of-the-day jeopardy watching with your family, which I happen to love doing with mine. It is how you make up new moments to replace the old bone marrow yearning moments that can help the healing process. And so here we are. Mars and Taurus wants us to take a hot minute. Venus in Cancer wants us to nurture and be nurtured. While at the same time, Mercury is sex telling Neptune today. So it is our thoughts having a positive aspect with our dreams. And so all of a sudden, all of this stuff that has happened to us over the last bit of time, there is a tiny little spark. There is the gleaming in the distance, there is the mountain that you have been climbing, and you can see it, you have the opportunity to see it different. Now, just because astrology astrologizes, does that mean we all follow the path? Hell no, of course not. Because if we were all doing it, then it would all be gravy. We would all be learning our lessons and killing it. But that's not really how life goes. So when there is this opportunity to move a little slower, to nurture yourself a little deeper, and to think about your dreams in a different way, this is just me saying, yo, it's okay to do that. The astrology's ripe for it, but what do you want to do with that? And then Tuesday Mercury squares the nodes of fate. So it's like we are thinking about our dreams, and then the next day we want to apply it somehow. But when it's a square, it's a hard aspect. So we have these dreams, but what gets in the way is us, is our minutia, is our routine, is our I can't, is our, but that feels impossible. And I've always loved the idea that we don't need to know the how. We really truly just have to be very clear on the what. Because the truth is, if you want something, but you're not clear on exactly what that is or what it would look like, then how can that energy find you when you aren't that energy? I drove to Eugene this weekend to get my merchandise for my business. And, you know, maybe that's a little bit cart in front of the horse. Am I a famous astrologer? No. Am I very even well known? Also, no. But am I starting to enact the things that would make me get to that place? Yes. I'm going to an astrology conference at the end of this week. I'm gonna hand out some shirts. I'm gonna hand out some journals, I'm gonna put myself out there. And I need this week to get into that mindset of what if everything changed tomorrow? What if my podcast blew up tomorrow? Am I ready? Have I been manifesting it properly? Is my heart, body, mind, soul all in alignment with where I'm going? And the answer is, I don't know. I don't know. I just lost a very important person in my life. My aunt just passed away. I am finishing up a school year at the school that I work at, so are my kids. We're about to head into summer. I got a whole lot of question marks. A whole lot of world just got blown up and now it feels a little apocalyptic. So do I know specifically what it is that I need to happen right this moment? No. But do I know where I want to end up? Yes. And can I start taking steps to be there? Sure. And this week is a great week to do that. So this is your homework. This is what I want you to be doing. I want you to think about a dream. Pick one. It can be love, it can be work, it can be family, it can be whatever you want it to be. And I want you to expand it to its highest capacity, to the place where it almost feels crazy to expand it to, like fame crazy, like biggest, biggest possible positive outcome. And then I want you to think about if you're ready for that and be so honest. Are you ready for that? And if you are, what are the steps you've taken to be ready for that? If you haven't taken enough steps, there's your homework. What are some steps, actionable steps this week? Because this week is gearing up to support us. Because boy, do we have good astrology coming up to manifest. So when I see on the horizon, June 8th, when I see like a week in June, that first bit of time in June, as a huge manifestation time, Jupiter being involved, I think, what does a bitch gotta do to get there? And that is your work. What is the big dream and what are the steps? Because anything quickly won isn't really true to what you're trying to build. It takes building, it takes the building blocks. And with Mercury squaring these nodes of fate, it's almost like what is in your way right now? What is holding you up? And is it a good holdup? Like my kids are still pretty young. Could I just take off and do a bunch of workshops and leave all the time? No, I could not. So I have a good problem in this hand. I have my children and I'm not ready to be off it about all the time. Am I ready to a little bit? Hell yeah, bring it on. But can I all the time? No, I cannot. But what can I do to get from point A to point Z? It's not just go to Z. It's you keep filming your podcast. It's you keep getting your name out there. You keep buying the merch. You keep putting things out into the universe as a here is my offering. And you see what comes back. Mercury also on Tuesday trines Pluto. So as we're seeing what's in the way of our dreams, our Mercury is giving us a positive aspect to say, now, how are you going to transform it? What is in the way, and how do you transform it? I think of that bear hunt song. We're going on a bear hunt, gonna catch a big one. I'm not scared, I'm a little scared. But but it says, Oh no, and there's something in your way, like a pond or some shit, and it's like wet, and you didn't bring your boots or some shit. And then you can't go over it, you can't go under it. You're just gonna have to go through it. And that's where the fear part lies is that you will not achieve what you want unless you're willing to transform what you are, and so you can't go around that. There's no spiritual bypassing, there's no ladder that goes from one rung to the last rung. You have to take it step by step. And so, as you're going through, what does going through look like for you? And then Wednesday, the sun moves from this kind of slower vibe of Taurus, the sun goes into Gemini. Kabow! There's Mercury again, because Mercury rules Gemini. And so it is a kinetic time. June is always one of the busiest months. We're going, going, going, going. But don't be so busy that you forget what you're being busy about. That's where this homework comes into play. What is the dream? Here's the cookie dream. It's right here, your cookie, and here are you. And don't like, don't lie to yourself. There are steps to have the two meet that isn't just frog leaping up to what you want. There are actionable steps. And when you can get very practical, I use my refrigerator to write down what practical steps each month I can do to get to that benchmark. And if you keep doing it, it's the same thing as losing weight. It is the same thing as getting healthier. It is the same thing as quitting an addiction. It is a step-by-step. You're not just going to be able to do it overnight. There is not just a body process that happens, but a mind-soul belief system process. And what I want you to do is go through that checklist, body, mind, soul. What is my body doing that is in the way of this goal? And how can you remedy it? What is my mind, my limiting beliefs, doing to get in the way of this goal? What is my soul doing or feeling not ready for that is getting in the way of me reaching this goal? You know, sometimes it is as simple as working on yourself. It is as simple as saying, I know my work, it's always, always my work, is stop hating yourself so much. Why do you dirtbag yourself so hard? I still don't know the answer to that question. So can I be, let's take my thing, can I be a famous astrologer if I think I'm a dirtbag? I mean, probably. But will it be like really good? Probably not. So my spiritual work is to get that on that self-love wagon. And I do it in fits and starts, and I work on it in bits and pieces. But this is a very poignant time to get on that bandwagon because that's just my soul. What about my mind? Well, maybe my mind thinks I don't know enough yet. I don't do enough yet. I don't nobody knows me yet. I don't ever know what to say in those moments. I am so scared of going to this conference and making conversation because while I am an extrovert, I am also, in equal parts, an introvert. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. I'm both. So the notion of going and introducing and being around people I don't know terrifies me all the time. So is that a limitation? Yes, it is. Do I need to get over it to be here's that big, big cookie, a famous astrologer? Yeah, I kind of do. Because one-on-one interactions all the time isn't gonna get me there. So there's my mind. What about my body? Well, I have been sick, guys. I have been the sickest I've ever been in my life. Can I accomplish when I am sick like that? No. But did I need that respite because I was grieving, because I was doing all of the other things? Yes, I did. But now that my body is finally starting to heal, even though I still sound kind of like garbage, I can feel my life force coming back. And I don't want to take it for granted. I want to do more with it. Mercury trining Pluto. I want to transform what hurt and this grief for all of my family members that I have lost, and I want to transform it into this success, into this story that I have been telling that still has so far to go, but I can keep moving. I can. And then with the sun moving into Gemini, I can transform. I can change my mind. I can go here, there, everywhere, and find a nugget of truth and inspiration everywhere I go and in everything I do. Yes, that includes the laundry and the dishes. Because you can turn anything into a meditation. You can turn anything into a building towards one's goals. Then Thursday, Venus squares Neptune. So we've got this Venus in Cancer that is loving and nurturing and kind, having a hard aspect to our dreams. So, you know, exhaustion is real and burnout is real, and that can happen. We can get real excited and then we can get real tired real fast. So the truth is, it's about finding sustainability. That in this dispersive week, this time where everything is kind of up in the air, we can catch and hold on to whatever we want. That's almost worse because we lack specificity this week. And so that's why your homework truly is to get more specific, to see the cookie that you want and to see where you are, honestly, and from a realistic standpoint. And then try to start building the steps. And anytime you do that along the way, are you gonna be met with resistance? Yes. Are you gonna get tired? Absolutely. But what helps is knowing that no matter if you get too tired or you feel like you failed at a thing or it didn't work out the way you wanted to, every failure is a lesson and every roadblock is an ask for you to go through it in a different, deeper way. That bear hunt, going on a bear hunt. And if you want to catch a big one, you can't go over it and you can't go under it. You unfortunately have to go through it, my friends. Friday, the sun is making a huge aspect because the sun is going to be conjunct Uranus, right next to it. And the sun and Uranus haven't been conjunct, meaning right next to each other, right on top of each other since in in years and years and years in Gemini. I mean, they always make a conjunction, but in Gemini, it's been over 70 years since that's happened. And let's take apart Gemini for a minute. Because Gemini is the twins. It is Jekyll and Hyde, it is good news and bad news, it is high road and low road. And if all of that is present, then all of it needs to disperse so that we can find what I like to call preference. We all have different preferences. We all live our lives from a different vantage point. And understanding that is the first step towards getting anywhere. Because whenever you are met with another human being, they are coming from their own Jekyll Hyde existence. They are pulling from their own life experience. And is it the same as yours? No, it is not. Are they gonna have different triggers? Oh, yeah, they are. Is are you gonna step on it sometimes? Yes, absolutely. And the beauty is, and what I was just telling my son today, because he struggles with sometimes not being very nice. And I always say, you can control your kindness, you can always be kind. And if someone isn't kind to you back, well, that's on them. That makes them wrong. But you stooping to the wrong level to be wrong too makes you wrong, you know? So if you are a reactive person, this is an interesting week for you to turn on your neutral observer and see how people are meeting and greeting your energy. Because sometimes we want something. Famous astrologer, that's what I want. We want something, but are we vibrating at that level? Am I giving famous astrologer? Sometimes I try. A girl tries, all right. But am I all the time? No. Why? Because deep down I think I'm a dirt bag. So how do I fix that? Because that's deep. That's deep in my viscera. It is a part of who I am, this self-loathing that I haven't even been able to trace to its origination, other than sometimes being the youngest sibling, sometimes being the helper, which I am, sometimes being the Libra who has a hard time making decisions, which I am, can create not enough opinions, can create not enough self-value, can create this notion of stepping back so others can stand tall. And I understand that there is a part of me that has to heal, that there is a piece of me that needs to take up a piece of this here earth, this planet, this sky, in order to make this work. And so with the sun being right next to Uranus and Gemini, we can be whatever we fucking want. Yes, we can. We can change our minds, we can change our lifestyle, we can make this big leap. The danger with Gemini is Gemini has an identity crisis. Gemini doesn't know who they are. So while there's gonna be this opportunity to change, to move, to groove, be careful, leave some breadcrumbs, handsel and gretel that shit so you know how to always find yourself again. Because these are the kind of times where we We can make big changes in our lives. We can make so much happen, and that's great. But we don't want to lose ourselves in the process. So sole breadcrumbs is a must. Knowing from whence we came is so important, but also being willing to take the adventure, being willing to say, I'm gonna trust those breadcrumbs, I'm gonna trust that a wily little bird won't come and take it and ruin how to get back to me. Because really, what I think growing up is, is we lose ourselves a little bit. We start out knowing who we are, kind of. I mean, we're like little blobs of a soul who probably were like living other soul iterations and stuff, but we still didn't care what the world was thinking about us, and then we start to grow up. And then social media and technology and other people's opinions and our friends and our lovers and our family have all these opinions put on us, and we lose ourselves along the way. And I think that what middle ages is coming back to ourselves. And some of us like that, and some of us don't like that. Some of us left enough breadcrumbs, and some of us just didn't even think to bring the bread in the first place. So now we're blood sugar crashing. Okay. So that's what this week could feel like. It can feel a little out of control because all the energy is dispersed. It's like I think of that. At Chuck E. Cheese, they have this thing where you go in an air machine and it blows all these tickets and you're trying to grab them like a crazy little squirrel. And that's what the energy is like. There's energy everywhere. What are you gonna grab? Sometimes it's not about getting kinetic with that energy. It's not about going with the craziness. It's about finding that Mars and Taurus, that Venus in Cancer. It's about finding the solidarity of self to just open your palms and whatever lands in them is what was meant. Instead of grabbing, instead of reaching, allowing and receiving and seeing what messages come when you stop trying so hard, but start working harder on the clarity of self. So also while the sun is conjunct Uranus that same day on Friday, Mercury is making a positive aspect to Saturn. So we've gone through the dreams, we've seen the resistance, and now Saturn's here to say, now learn a lesson. Now, what lesson can you take from what feels like failure? What lesson can you take from what you feel like deep down you know what you need to do next? What can you do with that? And then on Sunday, the sun sextiles Neptune. So we come right back to that dream. We dream the impossible dream. And I'm telling you you guys, in the next few weeks, we can move that dial. We can make dreams come true. But it's almost like if you don't believe in fairies, if you don't believe in magic, then magic has no way to find you. So you must believe first. And listen, the word believe is challenging for me because I like to learn a lot, but I don't really believe in a lot. Because to believe something absolutely means you give it your power. Let me say that again. To believe something absolutely means to give it your power. So be aware of what you be believing. Because Gemini wants you to change your mind. Gemini wants you to see that there's a million different ways to solve this puzzle, that this isn't a, you know, a math equation where there's only one answer. Life philosophy comes through a life well lived. And if you're always stuck in the same belief system, well, you're never gonna move that dial because you're not allowing the world to come find you. And the card I pulled is thinker. We are who we think we are. Yes, we are. The more we think it, the more we believe it, the more it becomes true, and the less we're able to change it. So I want you to think about those limiting beliefs. I want you to think of that dream cookie, and I want you to think of where you are right now. And I want you to turn on the neutral observer. This isn't a judgment. This isn't saying you did something wrong. This isn't saying even that you need to change necessarily. It's saying it wants you to think about how you have been living and are you doing it full enough? Are you doing it in a way that is bringing you joy? Because I'll tell you, a lot of people in my life, I don't know if they're happy. I don't know if I am sometimes. I know most of the time I am. But, and I know that I could be doing better by stopping the drama that I play out in my mind over and over again. Because what I think is true becomes true, and then I mirror it, and then I attract it, and then god damn it, if I am not a famous astrologer yet, for God's sakes. So I need to change my mind about myself a little bit. I need to have a little pep in my step. I need to get a little jiggy with it. I don't know what I need to do. But the truth is when you want something, the first thing you have to do is believe in yourself. Because if you don't at least believe in yourself, you're gonna let other people tell you what you are. You're gonna let your circumstances dictate who you are. And you know what I just said earlier. I said, if you believe something absolutely, then it controls you. So if you believe that you aren't good enough, then you aren't. If you believe you can't get to the cookie, the thing that you're going for, then you won't get there. There is a weird thing about placebo effects, you know, where if you take something and you're told it's gonna make you feel better, you do feel a little bit better. Because our minds are the most powerful thing we have to work with because we can change it. We can change our minds. We can change it right now, right this second, you can change your mind about something. So do it. Do it. What are you gonna change your mind about? All of this energy in the cosmos right now, the sun going into Gemini asks us that question of what can you change right now? And how exciting would that be to all of a sudden have the world open up because you decided to change? Do it. Thank you so much for listening. I always, gosh, this is such a journey. And in my mind's eye, it's only a journey if you guys come along with me. And so my ask is always and forever. My call to action is please do share me with a friend. Text this episode to someone you think needs to change their minds a little bit, and do change your own mind a little bit. Thank you so much for listening. Wish me luck at my convention. Go follow me on Instagram or Facebook at Jasmine Lee Astrology to be able to see what I'm up to, to see the convention. And maybe I'll post some updates, maybe I'll guess some signs. I don't know. It'll be crazy. Come join me.
