This Weeks Astrology Says: Patterns Can Break You And Awaken You!

We all get stuck in patterns. 
Every last one of us. 
I believe it is the ability to recognize not deny these patterns that make our work here on earth go a lot smoother. 
There is a lot of NO and a lot of tension this week, but we can transmute that so much easier, if we become more aware of the why’s of our patterns…

Hello, my name is Jasmine Lee, and I am not your mama's astrologer, coming at you still at Norwak last day, finishing up the Northwest Astrological Conference. And wow, being around so many brilliant minds, being around so many astrologers, you feel like a wee little fish in a vast and epic sea. And what does one's soul do with all of that information, with all of the energy, with all of the people around me? The thing that I kept hearing in every single seminar, in every single lecture, was the need and necessity towards presence. That we are human beings, not human doings, that it is okay to exist in our existence. And in fact, it's preferable that when we stay present, that when we stay here in the now, we are more in the know because we aren't drawing from the past and we're not making up stories about the future. We are merely allowing things to unfold. And if you trust astrology, which I hope some of you do, or even if you are a skeptic of astrology, I do love the notion that we came here with purpose, that we came here with a little bit of determination. It's more about what we're gonna do with that, our own will. That I don't believe that anything is set in stone, but I do believe that our charts are these beautiful roadmaps and blueprints towards what it is we agreed to before we came on down here into being human iterations. And so many of the astrologers that I listened to really drove home the idea that it is so important that we are in process, that we aren't always arriving somewhere. And I say that because the astrology lately is really big. There's a lot of world-changing, soul-changing astrology that is happening right now. And if we can just trust that that's true, we're all on the ride. Can you sit? You know, and there are some people that go on those roller coaster rides, and they cannot just sit to that shit. They're buckled in. But the thing, what's going on inside of them is something very different. It is like a collapse. It is the inability to sit in predictiveness of eventually I'm gonna go down, because that's what roller coasters do. I'm gonna go so high and eventually I'm going to go down so fast. And that is such a great um, you know, representation of life, too, is that we all handle the upward incline and the downward decline different. And that the medicine always is to stay present because when we start trying to control the future, what we're drawing from is our past. And our past karma is always ever present in us. That even if we're doing this new life, we're doing all of these new lessons, we still have old karma that we're still trying to slough off, that we're still trying to grow from and through. And if we get so busy with our futures, then we're really canoodling and meddling with our pasts. We're saying that I can control what's gonna happen tomorrow based on what I've seen yesterday. And the problem with that right now is that the astrology ain't having it. No, no, no, because everything is gonna change. So if I told you and it was true, and you believed that me when I said, everything's going to change, I want you to close your eyes and I want you to imagine that being true. Everything is about to change. How we human, how we plan it, how we do anything, personally, globally, whatever, it's a going to change. What does that elicit inside your body? Is it fear? Is it excitement? Is it containment? Do you want to control it? Do you want to know what it is? There's great answers, and that is your homework this week, because there is great answers in how you answer that question. How are you doing when I tell you everything is about to change? Are we able to sit with that? If not, if a lot comes up, if there is a lot of fear-based thinking, if there's a lot of anxiety, if there is a lot of, you know, ideals yet unfulfilled wishes, I want you to really think about what you would do with big, big change right now. Because that's what's on the horizon, you know? And you're not going to be able to predict it. You're not going to be able to guess it. You're not going to be able to do it the way that you want to do it. And so it is a lesson for us all. And in that way, when something happens to us all, it's a very unique opportunity to see how we individualize ourselves through the mass. The mass is like whenever we have presidential elections, or whenever something gets rediscovered, or aliens, or you know, whatever, take a big notion out there. Everybody's going to react differently. And it is an intense and beautiful case study of human nature is that we all come from different backgrounds, we all deal with stress differently, we all deal with life differently, but and we all have this common thread of wanting to work it out. I mean, even those of us who don't want to work it out do want to work it out. You don't want to be stuck. None of us really want to be stuck. Some of us perpetuate stuck, but we don't want to stay stuck. And so, big astrology on the horizon. I'm sitting here with all of these astrologers, and all I'm hearing over and over and over again is to sit with yourself, to be present with yourself, to just be here. And that's hard to do. I'm at a conference, I want to promote myself. I keep feeling like I'm letting myself down by not socializing more, by not being more, this, that, the other. But then I think you are ruining your own experience by trying to micromanage what your energy is telling you to do in each moment. You can choose each moment. And in that way, if I just allow each moment to unfold, then I'm doing what's right for me in that moment. And if we can do that in life, because you know, when you go somewhere, when you're at a conference or you're at a business thing, or even if you're on vacation, there's all of a sudden this liminal space that you enter where you're out of your normal life routine, you're in something different, summer vacation's upon us. I'm sure this will be happening to you. And it is that moment of how do you define yourself? And I'm by myself. I usually travel with my kids or my partner, there's my dad, there's always someone with me. And so being by myself, being in a highly educational scenario, being in a high volume, you know, place where there's loads of people, loads of stimuli, I had to make a lot of choices. And I wasn't always proud of my choices. But I think what I am learning is that I was staying present with what I needed in these moments. And is that going to hinder my success in the future? I don't think so. Because I do feel like on some level I was activating a being more true to myself this time around. And I get great empowerment from the idea of that, from that I would be willing to sacrifice maybe meeting 20 extra people that could help my business, maybe, to taking care of myself, to resting and to understanding that what I seek is seeking me, and I'm not gonna pass it because I decided to take some quiet time. So these are my lessons going into this week. This week is a little dicey because there's a lot of energy in a square. When a planet squares another planet, it's a hard aspect, it's a point of tension, it's something that doesn't quite fit. And we're starting the week with Mars squaring Pluto and the Sun squaring the nodes. So to break that down, when Mars, who is a little uncomfortable in Taurus because Mars is forced to move a little slower, is squaring Pluto, the planet of transformation, it is power dynamics, it is control issues, it is like thinking that you need to be doing a thing, but it's not working. And so, do you just keep ramming your fist against the wall if it's not giving? And that's kind of what we're gonna run into at the beginning of this week. Also, with the sun squaring the nodes, it's gonna feel like what we're trying to do is illuminated. And if we aren't doing or feeling as successful as we'd like to be, that's gonna create tension. You know, when two things are squaring off and Uranus is also close to this square, it's it's hard to understand. It's hard to feel like you're doing one thing and the energy says no. So where do we put that no? Do we allow it? Do we accept it? Do we stay present with it, or do we fight against it? And that's where this Mars square Pluto and the Sun Square the nodes comes into play. When you get resistance, what do you do? Do you push back or do you let go? And these are personality types. We all do that different, we all get triggered different, and this astrology is ripe to trigger you a little bit. It's ripe to tell you no, and how do you handle your no? So that's how we start the week. But the next day, as the sun was having that and Uranus kind of squaring these nodes and Mars squaring Pluto, then the sun makes a nice aspect to Pluto. So it's almost like if you can be more self-aware this week, if you can see where you're getting triggered and why, if you can understand the no, the resistance that's there, then all of a sudden the sun illuminates whatever it touches. The sun is a light being, the sun shines a light on Pluto, which typically likes the darkness. And it is the darkness in us. So, what happens when the sun helpfully shines a light on our darkness? Well, it does what Pluto wants it to do, it transforms. So, how do you feel about your transformation right now? It softens that Mars hard edge of Monday. It makes it seem like, oh, I was resisting because fill in the blank. You know, astrology is really a lot about patterns. We study patterns in your chart, in my chart, in all of our charts. We study patterns in transiting planets and charts and the world's chart. Everything is about a pattern. We all have intrinsic patterns, things that we do, little loopholes that we get ourselves stuck in. And this is kind of a week that's gonna feel a little yucky because our patterns aren't going to be working in our favor. But I hold the notion that that's a good thing. That it's good when our patterns don't always work out for us, because neuroscience wants us to create different pathways. That really the goal and the accomplishment of a new routine, a new pattern is to repetition, is doing it over and over again. So when what we've been doing over and over again all of a sudden doesn't work, Mars square Pluto, sun square the nodes, and we're like, oh shit, that doesn't work for me anymore. Maybe you have a glass of wine with dinner every single night, and all of a sudden your tummy feels weird and you're like, oh, why am I bloated all the time? It's like, well, that repetition has outgrown itself in your body. And now, if you ever want to study your own patterns, look to your body. That is always the gateway drug to understanding one's patterns is how are you waking up in the morning, how are you going to bed at night, what happens to your body in the in-between? Because our body keeps the score of everything we do. So if I used to play this game where, I don't know, whatever, there'd be a snack that I would really like to eat. And I would eat this snack a lot, like every day. And I would look forward, I would exalt this snack all of the sudden. I'll hail the Cheez-It. I don't eat Cheez-Its, but like that was what popped into my I'll hail the Pringle. I also don't eat Pringles. Whatever. I'll hail the banana. I love my banana. I'm going to eat it every single day. Those Cheez-Its are delicious every day until all of a sudden my body one day is like, no, that's not, you're not giving my body anything new. And now my body resists it. In medicine as well, you'll see that the medicine that treats something that's going on inside our body, if we take too much of it, can cause the thing that it's trying to heal. I'll say that again. The medicine of something, if we take too much of it, will actually cause the ailment that we're trying to heal. And I translate all of that into our life patterns. Because if you are doing the same shit every single day, eventually your soul is going to be speaking through your body and it's going to say, enough of that. And that's kind of what this week feels like to me is like a pattern buster, is like a resistance sector, is a no. And we all deal with no different. That's like the apex of that, you know, roller coaster ride. We all deal with no different. But understanding that your response to that no is your pattern resisting change. And then Tuesday, the sun trains Pluto to make that better. Boop, boop, boop, the Trinity. You're welcome. So if you can be righteous with your patterns, if you can trust that when something is a no, it is merely an ask for a recalibration. This week is going to be kind of cool because the world's changing. We're going to be changing. All of that is true. But if we don't start microdosing change inside of ourselves, whatever's going on out in the world is going to be very scary. Cue, all of the scary fairy tale archetypes, the big bad wolf coming to blow our houses down. And what did you make your house out of? Denial. Yeah, patterns, the inability to change, fear of the roller coaster. That's what your house is built on. Well, we got some work to do. And that's this beautiful helpfulness of when transits can be hard sometimes. Mars can be pretty spicy. And if you're sensitive, that's no fun. Speaking of that, Thursday, Venus is gonna square Saturn. Talk about sensitive central. You'll get your feelings hurt easily. Thursday is not gonna be sweet. It's not gonna be pretty because Venus is in Cancer. And Venus in Cancer is very sensitive. It wants to nurture, its heart is open. And here comes big bad Saturn, our mean principal dad, who is in Aries, who ain't got time for your bullshit, who's gonna come in and drive the knife right where it hurts. And we've been doing all this pattern work at the beginning of the week. What are we to do? Well, maybe cry a little bit. Maybe you're gonna cry a little bit. I don't know. That's hard. There's a lot of feelings. And if we are already starting this week in process of our patterns, well, here is another opportunity. Okay, because Saturn is saying, why are you so sensitive about this? And Venus is where we want to love and be loved. And when Saturn's like, fuck off, rejection can be some of the hardest feelings and things to overcome. And so while we're working on these patterns that we need to cease and desist in order to gain a little more clarity on what we need to be doing different, here comes Saturn, like really sticking it to us. And that might be hard to integrate this week, you know? People just might not be in your vibe. I get very sensitive when the people around me don't understand me or are not in my vibe flow with me. I can get my feelings hurt, you know, like when I really want to talk about something and my partner's in a really quiet mood. Or when I feel really snuggle and my kids are like, I hate mom today. I hate that. It drives me crazy. It's really hard. But lately, and especially this week, bitches gonna try to see it as an opportunity to be like, okay, our energies are not converging, and in fact, they're kind of toxic right now. Or and we're just not giving each other what the other wants, and or we said some shit that was unnecessary or off the cuff or hurt each other's feelings. And how do you fix it for yourself first? Here is the thing about conflict: you cannot resolve conflict with someone else if you have not resolved it in yourself first. You know, I am kind of one of those people that does not like to take space when we're fighting. I don't want to go to bed mad. I want to resolve it immediately. I want to talk about it until it's fixed. My partner, not that. He wants space, he wants to like leave for a little while, he wants to go on a walk, he wants to, you know, transmute whatever that was until he can come back not lit. That man has so much fire in his chart. Me too, but it's more like air fire. So I'm like, let's talk about it. And he's more like earth fire. He's like, no, I want to talk about it with me first. So then bitch gets her feelings hurt. This is us. And it has taught me that fighting isn't just about me. Fighting isn't just about him. Fighting isn't just about right and wrong. In fact, it really never is about right and wrong. What fighting is about is what are you fighting for? What's the trigger or Chiron? And if you don't know where or what your Chiron is, book a reading with me, because I love to dig into your Chiron. Anyway, segue. When you are triggered, you aren't coming from a resolution standpoint. And in order to resolve a fight, you have to resolve it inside yourself first, because otherwise, you're going to continue to get your feelings hurt by the other person. You're going to continue to say things that probably you don't mean, you're going to continue to feel things that probably aren't rational until you can sort where your trigger was, where your peace in that was, and really resolve it. Not need the other person to understand it, because that's where I get really lost in the woods, is I want my partner to understand why he hurt my feelings or why we got in this fight or why I feel the way I feel. Because to me, if if only he understood, everything would be resolved. But that's not true. Because he is unresolved and I am unresolved, and we're butting heads. So the only rest for it is to take a hot minute and understand what it was in me. And then give it to myself first. Before I ask him to understand it, I need to understand it better. And it's not you were wrong because it's not you hurt my feelings because that's not understanding. It's I am triggered inside my body because of me. And this is what happened in the moment to unleash it. And that's how we start to de-escalate ourselves enough to be able to hear the other person's point of view as well. So that then we can have a meeting of the minds. This is very hard work. It's been hard for me. I have a partner who triggers me that way. We don't fight often, but when we do, it's always that. We ping off each other. And it is the idea of I want us to fight for each other, not against each other. I don't want him to be right or me to be right or him to be wrong or me to be wrong. I want us to get curious about the conflict in the first place from a neutral standpoint, from a no one's right or wrong. In fights, yes, there is a transgression, and usually that can come from one right or wrong, maybe. But oftentimes not. And it's how you choose to accept responsibility for your triggers that can resolve it the quickest. Do you know why I brought all this up? Because Venus was squaring Saturn, but also the thing we first talked about at the beginning of this week, which is patterns, which is when you start recognizing your patterns, you start seeing how these fights show up in all of your relationships, that they manifest differently because everybody fights differently, but that what you fight for has a pattern. And learning what that pattern is can help you de escalate yourself. You can't de escalate someone else. You can't convince someone else to think you're right. You can't fix a fight by yourself, but you can fix it inside yourself. And that's when it really doesn't matter what the other person is doing, because as long as you can find resolution. Eventually the other person comes around. And if they don't, then that's a toxic relationship. If another does not want resolution or does not want to fix it, that's information about where you stand in your relationship with that person. Whew! That was a lot. But guess what, you guys? You get to end the week really nice because Sunday we have this big full moon in Sag. And you know, Jupiter rules Sag. Jupiter wants a good time. It's opposing Uranus right now. And so it's a very devil may care attitude. Maybe this week was really hard and our patterns and our fucking fights. And oh my God. And so we just go blow off steam. We go on a drive. We go travel. We go learn something. We go read something. We journal. It's about exploration. So I want whatever happens this week to be fodder for how much fun you're going to have this weekend, this next weekend coming. I want you to give to yourself the work that you put in to this week. But if you don't do the work, this Sagittarius vibe is going to come crashing in and could maybe lead to bad decisions. Overpartying, over-drinking, over-imbibing, over-social exhaustion, like that you'll work it out through nefarious means. And that's not really a solution, is it? It's just putting a big weird party band-aid over a wound that didn't get healed. So make sure whatever happens at the beginning of this week finds its resolution before you blow off steam. That's my advice. Uranus being in Gemini right now, it is low-key coyote energy for days. It is, you never know what's gonna happen. It's hijinksy. And so when it's opposing a full moon, well, gosh, you could really get yourself in a little bit of trouble if you don't keep it chill, playful. Don't go crazy imbibing. Keep it chill, playful. Like go explore, go deep into your mind, go meditate, and then go for a long hike or go to a book club. You know, do something that it that promotes positive exploration instead of the darker arts of, you know, too much television, watching too much drinking, too much of the things that don't really grow us or make us better. Sagittarius always wants us to be on top of the mountain, to oversee and to seek out our path, our adventures, and our philosophies in life. So that lean into that. Lean into what you can do to grow this new philosophy that's starting to bloom inside of you now that you've been looking at your patterns at the beginning of this week, right? Right, right, right, right, right. Now that you've observed some conflict maybe this week, right? Chill, coo, coo, coo. Okay, now integrate. Integrate by doing something that feels good, that feels explorative, that feels new and fresh. Because the more positive memories we make of new, fresh vibes, the more vibey our want to de-escalate our patterns will be. And then that's when we can start allowing this presence that I was talking about, this being present in our lives that I think is the medicine right now. That, yes, as an astrologer, I do believe our charts are karmic in nature. I do believe that we came here with a roadmap. And I take great comfort in that when the world feels very uncertain. I remind myself that my chart is always here for me, that I, for better or for worse, I promised to work on these parts of myself. And when I feel lost, I look at the lost parts of my chart. I look at the parts of me, the chironic self that never heals. And I give her a big hug, and maybe I start a few fights of insecurity, and then I get over myself and then I go party, says Satch. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for listening. My request and call to action is always that if you enjoy this podcast to share it with just one friend each time. And that is how a network of souls grows. That even if we don't know each other, we know each other. You dig? The card that I am pulling for this week is chaos and conflict.

Woohoo-hoo-hoo!

SPEAKER_00 26:21

I mean, do I need to explain this card? Chaos and conflict, doesn't it make sense? Uranus is here, Mars is squaring Pluto, the Sun is squaring the nodes, Venus is squaring Saturn. There's a lot of chaos and conflict in the air right now, and that kind of stuff can be really uncomfortable. But it's only as uncomfortable as you make it because I want you to view every little bit of resistance, every fight, every pattern recognition as an opportunity to meet yourself deeper. Because we can only meet other people. We can only meet the world, we can only meet our soul as deeply as we're meeting the insides of us. And all the time I believe that there are guides around us knocking on the door, asking us to see ourselves different, if only we would look. And this week is an invitation to look. Even if there's chaos, even if there's conflict, even if there's hurt feelings, I want you to understand that it is through those things that allows room in our rib cage to crack it open and see what can get in when we allow more to come out. I always say, I wish I could forget like all these weird song lyrics, my old home phone number, my friends' phone numbers, so that I could put new information in. But that's not really how that works. It is a gutting process to let go of patterns that we have held on to that we thought and wanted to keep us safe, that are no longer doing that. They are keeping us held under a rock. So get off the rock, baby, or at least push the rock off you. Thank you so much, and I will see you next week.
