Speaker 2:This is a space for you to feel seen, heard, supported and accepted for who you are, who you were and who you're becoming.
Speaker 1:Celebrating you wherever you are in your journey. Sit back, grab a tea or a a wine and come empower yourself with us, jewels and day let's grow hello, hello and welcome back to the ewp. Hello, beautiful humans switched it up a little bit, it's okay. Hello Abby, she's ready to go. We've got Abby from Stars, by Abby for a return and an epic end to 2024. Welcome Abby.
Speaker 4:Thank you, it's so good to be back. Love seeing your beautiful faces.
Speaker 3:Literally. If only people could see. Before we get on, we're all just like oh, welcome back, beautiful thank you.
Speaker 1:It's great to be so much beautiful energy and then we just ground in and then it's just like oh so epic, yeah, yes, totally love it well, abby, tell us why you're here today yeah.
Speaker 4:So I wanted to come back and give you a bit of an overview of the astrology for 2025, because we're getting to that time of year where everyone starts to look to to the new year and um, and everyone's curious about what is happening.
Speaker 4:What is this new year going to bring? And isn't it interesting how we put a marker or a label on this date, the 1st of January, which is not really anything to do astrologically with anything, but it marks our new year and you know it's how we class our time essentially, and so everyone is, you know, feels like it's just this one day where we can start anew for the next 365 days. So it's interesting because it is just another day, isn't it? When we flip over to the 1st of January, absolutely.
Speaker 3:We put so much pressure on the new year but it's like, oh, it's crazy, there's so many other things, components to life, rather yeah I'm so excited.
Speaker 1:I'm like, I'm just saying I'm like a kid in a candy store yes how it can bring that energy of like when it's like.
Speaker 4:It's no different to like a day like tomorrow, but because there's this build-up, we, you know, we kind of funnel all our energy into this and and imagine that it can bring great new beginnings and all this sort of thing.
Speaker 1:So yeah, it's, it's, it's good, it's positive yeah, but your new, big, new, new beginning could be today. It could be yesterday. You don't have to wait till the first to make a change or have something new and exciting come into your life. Harness that energy now, queens, absolutely yeah, it's funny how we do that with time.
Speaker 4:We say, oh, we'll start tomorrow or we'll start on monday monday these um, these markers of weeks and months and years become like so imperative. And I think that's what's really cool about astrology is that we, when you learn and see, we actually do have our own cycles that play out and you know our timing could start at any time, depending on what it is that we're trying to do.
Speaker 3:Absolutely. Do you want to give us a forecast for December?
Speaker 4:and the rest of the year.
Speaker 3:First, and then we'll dive in.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so well, let's speak into the end of 2024 before we jump into 2025. And the biggest thing that I want to let you know is that there is a big slowdown coming, and we're probably already going to be in it once this podcast goes live, because we're currently in a Mercury retrograde that's going to finish mid-month, mid-december, but we're also having Mars station retrograde. Now. All the planets station into retrograde motion at some point, but Mars is the rarest of the retrogrades. It only happens every two years, so it's an energy that we're not super familiar with.
Speaker 4:Mars is the planet of action and moving forward, and momentum. It's our physical energy. It's the masculine energy of doing and taking action, um, and moving forward. Essentially, now retrograde motion is a time where we, where planets, appear from earth to be going in the opposite direction, or so they appear to turn backwards, and so, if you imagine these, that's how the energy also plays out in astrology. Now we know, when we have a mercury retrograde, we think, oh, you know, things go haywire, communication breaks down, travel plans go awry, you know, we book the tickets on the wrong day, this sort of thing, and so it's almost like the energy of the planet is going backwards or it's like a reset energy.
Speaker 4:And so now, if you think of this, with Mars, the planet of going forward and movement and taking action, all of a sudden, in retrograde motion, is having to be forced to slow down and it doesn't really like that energy. So it's going to be often in Mars retrogrades. I see people feeling stuck, feeling burnt out, because they're pushing against this energy where they should actually just be taking a step back and taking a chill and using it to reset the biggest thing that I see as we head into the final month of 2024.
Speaker 4:I don't want to, I don't want to like pitch it as this scary, like time right, because the way that astrology affects us is different, but it's almost like a permission slip for us to really take a step back and have a check in, like, how is my energy, how am I, how is my physical body? Like, am I having results in the way that I'm taking action, or do I need to do it and do it in a different way? And so that's what we're going to be stepping into for the last month, and it does actually play into all the way into February. So it is a time of just taking a step back, taking a breath.
Speaker 1:So interesting because I've like the way I've planned things around, like the podcast, we've planned to like take that holiday and like my women's healing business. I had my last circles of the year last night and I combined them because December can be so busy. So I feel like I'm actually already closing all of those doors because I literally just want to try my best to focus on being present with Hudson for the next little while and, of course, we spoke of potentially doing a few solo episodes. But at the same time, like I already feel like I'm like okay time to just take a break and step back from everything. It's been go hard all year. So, yeah, I can really relate to just being on the opposite end of wanting to push, push, push. I'm like no, I'm actually ready to just be like and have a moment.
Speaker 4:That's so good, jules, because it's this time of year that people you know they see the end of the year in sight and their social calendar gets chockers and it's just and more, and how can I fit all of this in before the end of the year or get that job done, um, but yeah, I love what you what you have done to create that space so that you can just take a breath before you wake up fresh in 2025.
Speaker 3:Yeah, absolutely Reset, so keen.
Speaker 4:So you know there are some beautiful moments in December as well, like I think there's a really harmonious alignment happening on the 20th. That's probably like my pick of the um of the month. And then we end the year with, uh, the second new moon. So we started the month with a new moon in Sagittarius. We have our full moon in Gemini, which happens on the 15th of December. That's like the fun and um, flirty, you know moon, full moon expression in Geminiini, um, and then we close out the year with a new moon in Capricorn, which is you don't often see two new moons in a month, it happens every so often but, um, with this falling at the end of the year, I really see new moons as a time for setting intentions about what you want to cultivate, moving forward, and in Capricorn, capricorn's all about the things that we aspire to, the goals that we want, where we want to move forward with ambition. So how powerful is that? To move into the year 2025 with that beautiful energy behind us?
Speaker 3:absolutely. Oh my god, powerful Set intentions on that date.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when I was looking at the calendar to determine when the new moon was this month, I was like what? I'm like there's two new moons in December. I was like, is that always the way it is? I'm like, have I missed something? But that's so funny that you're touching into that now.
Speaker 4:It's wild when it happens with a full moon moon, we call it a blue moon, and I think it's where the rays once in a blue moon comes from, because it's, um, it happens every maybe two and a half years or so. Um, it's that moon cycle. That's not quite a month, so we don't get exactly 12, there's just that little bit more.
Speaker 3:Oh, 2025 is going to be legendary. I can feel it in my waters.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so speaking of 2025, it is um, we start with a slow energy because you know, I mentioned that Mars is in retrograde. We also have um Jupiter in retrograde and Uranus in retrograde as we start the year. So I mean it's retrograde season three planets in retrograde. It's definitely not the time to be 1st of January rushing towards our goals.
Speaker 4:We can reflect on where you know what we've done and we can move forward in a slower way, but reflection before action is key, and just moving slowly, I think, is going to be the way that we should approach 2025. Yeah, how is that feeling for you guys?
Speaker 3:Absolutely. I feel like we spoke about the holidays with the podcast and stuff and it does feel like we just need a reset, Like so much has happened through the year and outside of the podcast as well, but like family and stuff, it's like you just need. We do need to slow down, to speed up. Sometimes we need to take that break.
Speaker 1:So yeah, yeah, and then same, I kind of planned everything like to go back into play at the end of January, like the third week of January, because I'll be in Canada with my family. So everything I'm sort of planning to start back up is until the end of January, and that just kind of happened, naturally, I think. But it's interesting how that has something to do with the planets and everything and I just realized.
Speaker 3:Also my children, two of my kitties, are going down to Victoria for five weeks, so nuts to the third week of Jan as well. And that's not intentional. It was just how it happened. Crazy, wow, perfect.
Speaker 4:We're totally in alignment, if we will. To look at the energies as a whole, um, what is happening? I almost see that 2025 and 2026 are like almost like a merging of energy. We've kind of got the same happening, um, and so we've just seen a big shift with pluto moving into Aquarius. You've probably heard about that or seen it on social media, but Pluto doesn't change signs very often, maybe every like 16 to 20 years, right. So it's a really it's a new beginning in Aquarius and it's left Capricorn. Now Aquarius is a yang energy sign.
Speaker 4:We can say masculine, but I feel like that word can be misconstrued even when we don't mean to, so I'm going to use the word. So we've just had Pluto, the furthest most planet. Now the outer planets and the further planets are really about generational themes because they move so slowly that, if you know, if we were born in the same year, we're going to have the same placements of pretty much Saturn, uranus, neptune and Pluto. That's why they're sort of generational. Even if we were born within several years of one another, we're probably going to have some placements that align there. So what is happening is in 2025, it's the start of the shift of the next most outer planet, neptune.
Speaker 4:Neptune is Pisces into Aries, so it's moving from a yin sign into a yang sign. Uranus is also moving. So Neptune moves every 14 or so years. Uranus moves every seven or so years. Uranus is moving again from a yin sign taurus to gemini. Saturn is moving from a yin sign in pisces into a yang sign of aries. So all these outer planets are shifting from this yin energy into this yang energy. So so it's a. What I'm seeing is that and they will retrograde back into. That's why I'm saying that this energy is merging over 2025 and 2026. And even into 2027, when it'll be complete. But it's moving from this generational theme of yin, or sort of sitting back and allowing, into a more empowering and taking action and being um independent and taking steps forward for ourselves and the collective so that's really what I'm seeing as a general um overview of the energy.
Speaker 4:So how is that? How does that land for you guys? Does it? Are you feeling that? Are you absolutely?
Speaker 3:absolutely there's definitely definitely for a daily yes, absolutely, I'm like, oh, and Aquarius is my son. But yeah when you were saying the masculine, I'm like absolutely so. Is Aquarius going into more of a like because the Pluto's exiting out of Aquarius? Is that what you said?
Speaker 4:no, so Pluto's just moved into Aquarius. So, yeah, anyone with various placements Pluto is going to be transiting through. So if I know we need it's sometimes so hard to grasp, but we think, just think of it like this planets move through signs, okay, and it's moved through signs and Pluto is going to take 20 years to move through Aquarius. So if you have planets or your sun sign or any other planets, or if you're rising especially if you're rising signs of Aquarius, I think these are the people that will impact the most. I'm a Capricorn rising and I've just had Pluto move through my rising sign for the last, you know, 16 or 17 years or however long it's been.
Speaker 4:And so the transformation that you see because that's what Pluto represents a power and transformation yeah, you know it's not necessarily the easiest work to do because it's pulling up things from the depths.
Speaker 4:So the things like underneath the soil that we can't see, the darkness that to be transformed. So if you have, you know, don't be worried. But if you do have planets or points in aquarius, pollution is going to come and you'll probably go through a two-year phase because it takes about blue to move so slowly. It takes about two years to come across that exact point. So, depending on what degree your sun sign is I can't quite remember off the top of my head, but say, for example, if it was in the very first degrees then that's going to happen for you. Like, if your sun is one or two degrees in Aquarius, pluto is going to come across very soon or is about to start, and then that transformation is beginning, whereas if your sign, like my moon sign, is at 27 degrees, I'm not going to be as impacted with Pluto going across my moon for several years.
Speaker 2:So you know.
Speaker 4:That's how these planets are interacting with us personally.
Speaker 3:Isn't it crazy you just live on this like little planet just orbiting everywhere.
Speaker 1:It just blows my mind, honestly, yeah and I remember the last time on the podcast.
Speaker 3:It was very specific to you at this time, like this time of year with pluto going through aquarius yes, yeah, and you're like, don't drink alcohol, like you know, just relax and just like ebb and flow and it's on the opposite. Sorry, yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 4:So this energy as a whole is more of this, moving from maybe like, uh, you know, a sitting back or even a fogginess as well, because Saturn and Neptune are moving through the very the thing is, pisces is the very last sign of the Zodiac, which is where both Saturn and Neptune are currently transiting, and so it's they're moving from the very last sign of the Zodiac into Aries, which is the very first sign of the Zodiac which screams new beginnings and fresh starts. It's Aries is also the sign of, like, pioneering independence, and you know so it's really about coming back to ourselves and being able to stand in that energy of self-worth and embody that and really step out as as who we are.
Speaker 4:So that's what I think, as more as a whole, that we're going to see over these next two years, and it's sort of going to be this ebb and flow energy where it might be, and I feel like it has been like that over the last few years, with Pluto doing this same dance. Now it's going to be the other three outer planets and by the end of sort of 2026, and as we head into 2027, we'll see ourselves in a new chapter, at the beginning of a new chapter of whatever it is in our lives, wherever this is playing out for us.
Speaker 3:I've got full-body goosebumps all down my legs. It's your time to shine day.
Speaker 1:Always Abby. What's Leo doing? You haven't mentioned Leo. Where's Leo at?
Speaker 2:What's happening with Leo and the planets? Leo's going to Canada.
Speaker 4:The Mars retrograde that I talked about starts in Leo, so that happens on. It begins on the 7th of December and so that is where it's going to be moving through. So if you have planets and points in Leo in the early degrees, it's going to impact you. Most of that retrograde is going to be in Cancer, but a lot of it is, I think it's up until around the 6th of January that Mars will be sort of going backwards in Leo. So if you do have planets and points at that early degree like my sun is in Leo at 13 degrees but it's not really going to be too impactful because this retrograde, I think, starts from six degrees, so it just really depends on where it is in your chart. So it can be hard to sometimes look at like the signs individually. We kind of need to look at everything as a whole, because even have a leo placement.
Speaker 4:You have everything else as well. You have all the signs in your chart somewhere, and so you know what you. What you might want to look at is where is? Where does Aries fall in my chart? What is, um, what is? Because that's where these uh two out of planet, saturn and Neptune, are going to be moving into. So if they fall in an area of your life that's around relationships, then maybe it's fresh, new beginnings for relationships. If it's in your career, there might be a fresh start in your career or something new coming um in that regard, does that make sense?
Speaker 1:yeah, absolutely. I feel like for me, it's just very soft, like it's a very soft energy. It's been like like let's go for a while and now I'm really feeling like I'm in my soft feminine excuse me, soft feminine era. My throat chakra there, um so I, yeah, I feel like I'm just, yeah, taking a step back for a hot minute and being like celebrating, celebrating everything that's happened, everything that I've accomplished, um so, yeah, that's how what I'm feeling with regards to Leo and the planets and everything happening. I feel very just, grounded and gentle and feminine.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it'd be interesting to see where your son is in leo, because I wonder it does. It may not even be too impacted. Leo is impacted by the movement of pluto moving into aquarius because on the zodiac wheel they sit opposite one another. Any planets or points in Leo are going to have that opposition, which can be challenging, it can be polarising, you know, but it's always. I just think it's always a cycle, right? So something is going to be worked out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's so funny. I don't know if that would affect like, because sometimes, like you're going through like a shit era and then I'm like high-living and then we swap Like, would that be like to do with planets and stuff like that as well? Like, obviously, personal circumstances and stuff as well. But, would planets like affect the energies of that 100%?
Speaker 4:There can be so much going on at any time, right, there can be so much going on at any time, right, you know, and it really depends on how it's playing out in our chart.
Speaker 4:So you know, we could have a Mercury retrograde happening but, I, think one of you guys is born under a Mercury retrograde, right, so we could have a Mercury retrograde. For example, for me, there was a Mercury retrograde that happened last year and it was in my 12th house, which can be the house of sickness and healing, and I actually ended up in hospital. But then, you know, now this year, this Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius is well, hopefully I'm not going to end up in hospital, but it's not actually with the planets that I have in Sagittarius, right, so it depends on, but then for you it might not be, might not be doing anything at all. My friend, she was born under a Mercury retrograde and that's a time where she shines, right? Yeah, well, and this is just, we're just talking about one planet.
Speaker 4:So, yeah, there are, you know, there are 10 planets out there that are moving and shaking, um, or nine, I should say. And so you know, whilst daylene, you could be impacted by the mars retrograde, um, jules, you know, you're, probably maybe there's a beautiful venus transit that is making you feel, in this feminine era, like, and so that's how. But then you know, something might switch and and then you move on to whatever the next cycle is, you know so that's really um, really apply in different ways.
Speaker 4:Um, so fascinating. I always love to look at um Jupiter, at Jupiter, because Jupiter is the planet of expansion, abundance and good fortune. And Jupiter has been in a sign, gemini. It's been in Gemini, it's going to be in Gemini till around June and so if you have placements or points in Gemini, then you know Jupiter will come across and it can bring good fortune. It can bring good luck opportunities. Then you know Jupiter will come across and it can bring good fortune. It can bring good luck opportunities, growth, empower, empowerment to all Gemini themes. But it doesn't particularly like being in Gemini. Gemini is about the details. It can be about. It can be like more about the conversation, where Jupiter is expansive and growth and it doesn't really have access to the tools that it needs to operate at its best. Essentially, it doesn't mean that good things can't happen. It's just not a sign that it prefers to be in.
Speaker 4:But next year it moves into Cancer and it does align with the energies of Cancer. And so you want to look in your chart and you see, to see where is cancer in my chart. Now again, if we have cancer in relationship, um, in the seventh house, for example, we might think that there's like, or there could be, something exciting and some growth and maybe new opportunities in love, or in a relationship or there might be an expansion of an original relationship, you know, if it's moving into your, if you are a Cancer rising and it's moving into your first house, beautiful, because that's an expansive, fresh new beginning.
Speaker 4:It's something you can do. It's about growth and a new chapter. So I always love looking to see where Jupiter is moving and, um, yeah, it can be, and I, and it's in the second house too. Right, the second house is finances, money, the things that we value, our personal values. So if Jupiter's moving into your second house, oh, that'd be, that'd be a great time let's go, I need to do my birth chart.
Speaker 1:How do we, how can we do that again? Can you refresh our memories on that abby you're just so knowledgeable she's so cute.
Speaker 4:so, um, there are plenty of birth chart uh calculators that you can find online, um, and so you just need to go to one of those. I'm currently getting one set up on my own website and all you need to do is put in your details. So you need your birth time, you need your birth the birth, we had this conversation last time yeah.
Speaker 4:And yeah, so birth time is a must, birthplace and the date that you were born and, and you will get your chart and it'll look something like I don't know if you can see this, but it will look something like this round circle that comes out here um, oh my god, cool, yeah, and so this is how we can see. You know, I talk about the houses and where certain planets are going to be moving into, and that's all you can see that all within in the chart it might come up and it looks like a whole lot of symbols and lines and what is. So you might be better to get an app like um costar, or time passages is another great app that gives you the explanation behind it all in a more manageable break, like succinct way. That's easy to understand, because some of the ones online can be a little bit wordy and don't really make sense.
Speaker 3:Yeah, absolutely well so you've never done your birth chart, babe, because your time no, because I can't get the time.
Speaker 1:But I'm going to Canada. So I'm going to call the hospital where I was born and say, look guys, I need my birth time so I can figure out my whole chart.
Speaker 3:Imagine how many people do that now just to get their birth charts and stuff. Not all hospitals keep the records.
Speaker 4:I've heard a lot of people had success, but I have had a lot of people that don't. So I even suggest, if you truly don't know is to use a pendulum right, because that's the body giving its answer. If you truly don't know is to use a pendulum right, because that's the body giving its answer if you truly don't know that the body's the body's birth right yeah, I actually think I have my long form birth certificate.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna go look at that because that's something I haven't done. It would probably be on that, wouldn't it?
Speaker 4:yeah, it's as well, like my birth certificate doesn't have my birth time so it's a long form.
Speaker 1:So it has, like, all the extra nitty-gritty details.
Speaker 4:I'm gonna, I'm gonna check after this yeah, let me know, let me know um how, how, how you go with it if it yeah oh, I will.
Speaker 1:I'll be dming you straight away. So, abby, that's so incredible, like it just sounds really exciting and it feels really fresh and rejuvenated. And, um, like I know, you said not to be worried and but I didn't feel worried at all. Did you feel worried at all when she was talking about it?
Speaker 3:it feels good, doesn't it? Yeah, I'm like there's like a. I can feel like there's a shift coming for sure, like positively.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I thank god okay, yeah, if we're doing the work um on ourselves, then we always know that we can. We can handle whatever comes our way. And you know, I say with astrology knowledge is power. So if we know that there are these shifts of new beginnings or there, are these times of slowdown or we're not feeling, you know, feeling stuck.
Speaker 4:It's like, okay, this is just a cycle, it's going to end, but how can I use it to the best of my ability? I need to go back and reflect, rather than getting worried that, um, it's impacting us negatively or, um, because we, when it comes to you know, when you strip it all back, um, we have our own like, our own power and have our intuitive guidance. And if we're not tuned into our intuitive guidance, then you know, I always say this is where you start. If anything that I've said today has not resonated with you, it's not a message for you, because we might not be on the same alignment essentially. But yeah, that's why it's so important to have that connection with your intuition, because you can return to your inner guidance and what you should actually be doing for yourself, rather than looking outside of ourselves to see what the energies of the planets are doing. It's more about. Well, this is the energy coming in.
Speaker 1:How can I best use it for what I'm currently trying to accomplish in my life right now, or what I want to do right now, absolutely Exactly right, and it's about trusting yourself as well, like, yes, the planets are going to do their thing, but it comes back to you and what you're going through and what you're navigating as well. So it's like a little blueprint that you can tap into and an extra resource to see oh, what's coming up? Oh, maybe this is why I'm feeling this way. And, yeah, but you wouldn't just rely solely on what's happening with the planets. All right, I'm dropping everything you know.
Speaker 4:Like, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sure you've had these experiences before. But when we go through things that are hard, that are cycles that really challenge us, that is when we see the most growth or the benefit come from that, because when we come out the other side.
Speaker 4:We we completely changed or we've learned a new skill or we've able to overcome something. But when things are easy and in flow, yes, it's great and we get to reap the benefits, but it's like, huh, I don't really have to work for that, I didn't really have to change myself.
Speaker 3:So during those times of tough transition, I think they actually benefit us even more we were just talking about this in the other podcast as well, about the towers crumbling in order to you know kind of like rebuild and stuff yeah you're going to have the turbulence in order to learn new skills, tools and all the rest of it. It's just wild, isn't it? Yeah, or find another little missing piece of puzzle. Well, nothing missing, but you know what I mean. Like, yeah, if everything was easy.
Speaker 1:You know we'd all be doing it boring. The song rise up comes to mind, you know that one it's like and I'll rise up. I'm not a singer by any means, but yes anyways, you're welcome everyone, yeah, pwp karaoke oh yeah oh good. So I mean, was there anything else that we really can hone in on, pay attention to?
Speaker 4:there. There's lots going on, like you know. If we were to sit here and do an entire um podcast on every single thing astrologically Like with astrology it really depends on where it's playing out in your chart and how it's going to impact you.
Speaker 4:There are these generational shifts, which is why I like to talk about them, because it impacts everyone. The other thing that is happening is the nodes of the moon are shifting. Now don't get caught up too much on what that actually means. It's just the place where the sun and the moon's path intersect. That's how you get the north and the south node In astrology. They represent, almost like you're, a path that you're walking away from, and what you're walking to, almost like the north node is your. You know your desires and your destiny, and what you're walking to, almost like the north node is your um, you know your desires and your destiny, destiny and what you ultimately want. And the south node is almost like um, your past or the things that you know innately and maybe you're walking away from, and so um. So the nodes you have them in your chart and she keeps looking at me, thank you for listening they're responsible for where the eclipses play out and the eclipses happen.
Speaker 4:There's eclipse season twice a year, they happen twice a year, and so when the nodes shift, it happens every 18 months, so it's sort of a collective change of what we're focusing on, what we're kind of walking towards.
Speaker 4:Essentially, the North Node has been in Aries and the South Node has been in Libra. So Aries is about that independence, that individual, and Libra is more about relationships and balance and harmony. So we're kind of we're going to shift the North node is going to move into Pisces and the South node into into Virgo, and so this shift is more moving away from, I guess, being so individual, being so ourself and not like you, you know, not caring too much about the relationships and the harmony around us. So, moving into Pisces, it's going to be a really great time to connect with your higher power, your spirituality, your creative gifts, your intuition and um, with the south node moving into Virgo, about accessing um, you know, all those little skills that are like detail orientated and being of service, and so these are new themes that we're going to see, with the eclipses, play out over the next 18 months or so.
Speaker 3:Jesus, let's go.
Speaker 1:Queens, yeah, so good, and that's yeah that resonates so well, absolutely, I think, for both of us, and that's yeah, that resonates so well, Absolutely, I think, for both of us, really, for me, it's all about finally feeling like I've reached the light. After everything that's happened in my childhood and trauma, wise and things my whole life, it finally feels like I'm out the other side and it's just like super empowering and it really yeah, it's really like shedding old skin and just stepping into this new part of my life, this new, you know, next era of me, which is really, really lovely.
Speaker 3:Absolutely, and what I took from that was like just taking up more space of being who you are, like just fully step into that. That's what I kind of got from that.
Speaker 4:Absolutely. Yeah, there is so much going on. I mean there's retrogrades as well. Venus is going to be retrograde next year as well. That only happens every 18 months or so you know. We might see the feminine come more into the spotlight. It's interesting.
Speaker 1:The last Venus retrograde aligned with a lot of the with the Barbie movie coming out lined with a lot of that with the Barbie movie coming out, oh my God, with Venus and Barbie and Barbie's journey.
Speaker 4:So that's a really, and you know Barbie does represent in a way, it's like the empowered woman. So that's happening in March and it happens for 40 days and 40 nights. Venus retrograde generally isn't as cutthroat as Mercury or definitely not as Mars, but it might just be a time to step back. You know it's been interesting. Last Venus retrograde I actually had a fallout with a girlfriend and you know it was a friendship ending. These types of things can happen with significant women in your life. Or it might just be, you know, an opportunity to go back and explore your feminine energy on a personal level, because it's that retrograde which is inviting us to go back and review and reflect. Yeah, so very interesting to see how that will play out.
Speaker 1:Absolutely can't wait, yeah, because I've been in my masculine my whole life pretty much. You know, just as a single mom, you know as a woman going through everything I've been through and I'm finally like like sway those hips pour that love. So, yeah, I'm really, really excited for more feminine energy.
Speaker 4:And bring it on venus, let's go yeah, so that that'll be in march it's happening, starting in aries and moving back into pisces and venus really likes to be in pisces, so I think that might be a really, you know, a really nice time, um, as, as we experience that and moving, moving through march and into a little bit of of April, so most of the most of the dynamic astrology stuff that is starting is actually happening in in pretty much the first half of of 2025, and we will see retrogrades take the planets back into signs that, you know, tracing over things, that old chapters and that sort of thing. But, yeah, a lot of the more dynamic energy I believe is in the first half of the year, absolutely.
Speaker 3:Let's go.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to sing again, but this Venus song is playing through my head. You know that one we're going to be doing. Song recommendations From the commercial yeah, oh, I'm your Venus. Hello, yes, you're going gonna shave her out oh, I love everything about what you've said, like again just feels so refreshing and beautiful. Um, how cool everything that happens with the planets, and you know we just could go our whole lives not even knowing how we could tap into that absolutely.
Speaker 4:I. I really think, like how can we be on this um rock that's spinning and sometimes like we think, oh, how insignificant must we be.
Speaker 4:But you know we get one life and you know it's our only life.
Speaker 4:It's like, yeah, in our little world we're the star of our own movie, right.
Speaker 4:But to sort of speak to that bigger picture, it's like do you really think that we are flying around in this massive um universe and that the energies outside of us aren't impacting us? We see, when the solar flares happen, that the impact comes to earth. We see the big storms, like, if we really think that it's not, you know, we have, we have a magnetosphere which sits around earth, which does um, shield us from a lot of the harsh space energy that's what it's meant to do here but energy that that cracks and there's rifts and energy gets through. We, we see that when the solar flares happen there's been a lot of solar flares this year and it has peaked the energy and you, you go and you look and you see when these big solar flares are and you see what was going on in your life wow, wow, the, the full moons like it's when the energy is heightened. We know this like. So I really think that it's like ignorant to think that if we, if we're thinking that nothing is impacting us from out there.
Speaker 3:Maybe we need to think a little bit more about that absolutely. And there's like some quote I can't remember it off the top of my head, but if I do I'll put it in the show notes but it was like how the tides affect. Like you know, the moon affects the tides and the tides affects you know. All of the rest of it I can't remember exactly you've probably heard it before um, but also how the moon like we're setting our periods in our menstrual cycle with the moon like this is wild exactly.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah yeah, for the whole first half of this year I was always on a full moon, and then it was like little by little, and now we're sitting in a new moon and that's where my period is sitting. It's just insane, and I've heard that about the tides as well somebody told me that, and I was like I was like how that blew my mind. I was just like, no way, no way, it way, it's wild.
Speaker 4:So wild On the tides of you know our oceans, which are huge and we're made of 80% water, then why do you think that we are going to be impacted emotionally? Right, Absolutely. Also working within us.
Speaker 3:Absolutely. Oh, we are some magic, we are mic drop.
Speaker 1:So good, so cool. So, Abby, what have you been doing since we last spoke? What's been happening with your stars by Abby? Yeah?
Speaker 4:So I have launched the second round of my course and I plan to launch a third as we head into 2025. Maybe I haven't yet set the date. So if you're interested in learning astrology and how it's going to apply more directly to you, then come and have a look at my course. I'm also running a class where we deep dive into the astrology of 2025. Now I'm running it. I think this podcast might miss the class. It's on the 5th of 2025. Now I'm running it. It's.
Speaker 4:I think this podcast might miss the class. It's on the set um the 5th of December, but I plan to run another one in January. So if you're curious because I know that that's slow I know that there's so many people that are like I can't even like think about 2025 yet. I need to get through 2024. And so I've got the class again in January and for all of those people that are not yet ready to think about 2025, because I know that the energy is there. So if you're curious to sort of learn a little bit more how this might be playing out more directly in your chart and how it might be impacting you, come and have a look at the class um, and then my podcast um. Stars by abby. No, that's my, that's my business name. My podcast is called secrets of the stars. I've been a little bit of a hiatus, that's why it's not in the forefront of my mind, but I, um I launched an episode yesterday on the energies of the week ahead. Um, so we're diving back into that.
