Thanks for listening — you are truly magical. 💖

SPEAKER_04

We all know our sun sign by now, at least hopefully you do. And yet, something that is very underrated is your moon sign. We spend half of our lives under the light of the moon. It is one of our two luminaries. And I have a special guest today that's going to teach you the secret language of your lunar energies. Her name is Celeste Brooks. I always say your name is No Accident, and she is here to tell us all about it and share some wisdom. Welcome, Celeste.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you so much for having me, Carrie. I'm so excited to have a conversation with you.

SPEAKER_03

Welcome to Get Biked with Carrie Samuels, where you'll find inspiration to create a magical life. Here you'll experience all things divine. So tune in and let the magic begin.

SPEAKER_04

I'm a big fan. She's so much fun. I always like to combine entertainment with enlightenment. She is hilarious. Celeste, I can always tell that you love so much talking about this, sharing this light and this wisdom with other people. And so I'm really excited to have you here.

SPEAKER_00

Aw, thank you. Yes, I um love astrology to death. It had me at hello. It's an obsession that is calorie free.

SPEAKER_04

Well, I think it's fun for our obsessions to turn into our livelihoods. And you have a corporate background, is that correct?

SPEAKER_00

Yes, I spent over 25 years in corporate sales, marketing, business development, technical support. Yes. Goddess bless you.

SPEAKER_04

So a lot of people who are in the healing arts and luminous, um, luminous, numinous arts aren't really as good at business and things like that. But maybe it's your corporate background. That's why you are everywhere all the time. Like you're like, that's why I'm thinking a lot of people who listen to this podcast probably have seen you at least once before. You're like the moon, you're here, and then you're there.

SPEAKER_00

You know, that is Saturn on my son by like need to be constantly working of something I'm really working on. It's like, okay, I thought, oh, I'll do this and that, and then I add this, and then I add that. And like finally, I'm starting to tell myself, okay, we need to subtract, not add anymore, because it's too much. Yeah, I understand.

SPEAKER_04

I got five planets in Virgo. I don't know if I'll ever truly like not be constantly productive because now I'm like, oh, I don't want to do this as much. I want to create all the time. For I have um uh another site called Enchanted Sky where I create astrology products and affirmation products. And now I'm working on a kitty cat and dog collection. So I'm like, it's still fun, it's so much fun. So, you know, the nature of poor is a vacuum, right? You always have to work. But even if it's not work, because our what we do is fun for us. That's the thing. Yeah. So, and I know people are gonna feel that fun and enlightenment because you're you're very light with this stuff, even though when we're talking about very kind of heavy topics, because you do what's called mundane astrology. Can you tell us a little bit about mundane astrology and why it's anything but what we think is mundane?

SPEAKER_00

Yes, it's astrology of worldly events. So I love watching and connecting what is happening in the collective and what you're reading in the newspaper or watching on TV about how it relates to the astrology. And this is one of the original uses of astrology was used so that to help kings and queens and emperors know when to do what they wanted to do, whether it was go to battle, knowing they needed to protect the realm or what the weather was going to be and things like that. So I love it.

SPEAKER_04

Where do they get the word mundane from?

SPEAKER_00

Well, mundo is world.

SPEAKER_04

So I'm assuming that's where it came from.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So it's world astrology. So it's funny that the word mundane has taken on a different energy to it, but it's actually extremely tangible, exciting, doesn't mean boring, it means like our world events, and unfortunately, our world events are not boring right now. I wish they were more boring. I know. No, we'd find anything else to talk about. I long for boring days in the world, but that's not what's happening. So, and you've predicted like a lot of things.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I love talking about how the cycles are gonna show up with the astrology. Yeah, predictive astrology is my jam. Absolutely. Although I've moved away from like, I don't want to talk about the a lot of the really darker things that are happening, but I like to get into the nitty-gritty of when I think certain things are gonna come to light, or what is the energy of what is what is gonna happen, especially when there's multiple transits on the same day. It's like a puzzle to me. We both have Virgo energy, I have my south note of Virgo, and then I have two planets in Gemini as well. So my mind likes to piece together this how is it gonna show up when X and Y happen on the same day, and yeah, so I love doing that, and and then being like, oh, that's how it showed up. Yes.

SPEAKER_04

Well, you well, you can do this in people's personal lives, right? Like, isn't there I believe you have this specialty where you can rectify a person's birth chart? Can you explain that? Because I think it's fascinating.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so there's um a chart rectification is a tool we use in order to help people with unknown birth times. Amazing. Find you, I need to know the day you were born and what will people will do. And I'll send them a form to fill out where they give me dates of key events in their lives, as well as a description of themselves, and I can back calculate their birth time if they've got enough information.

SPEAKER_04

That's so mind-blowing. So you you can see a correlation between whether you're rectifying a birth chart or not, a correlation between events in their lives and certain cycles of their planets and houses.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. You um what you're looking for is especially the mid-heaven, the mid-heaven being triggered with certain things, as well as the ascendant. So you're looking for events where you can see it matches the nature of one of the angles being being excited. So it can get really, really fascinating to get like, oh, okay, I think these are the three times that work best. And then based on what the person said happened, going and making sure it fits the description in the different houses of what would come to life. Yes. That's so mind-blowing.

SPEAKER_04

So, like, what kind of things can can you see? Like, what kind of events and like how do you see it in a birth chart? I'm so curious about that.

SPEAKER_00

The best events are ones that are unexpected, like you got a promotion all of a sudden, and that would show up at your mid-heaven and 10th house and the 10th house ruler and things like that. A car accident, like a fender vendor, that's a great one to you know, it's an unfortunate event, but it's unexpected, and you'll it'll show up in the chart.

SPEAKER_04

How would that show up in a chart? I'm so curious. Like in what way would that be?

SPEAKER_00

Well, the third house could be impacted because that rules cars or that ruler. If you got injured, it could be the ascendant. It's also um could be impacted because that rules your vitality. Also, a car accident is a one-on-one kind of interaction with someone. So the the descendant will be will be activated. You may even see the ascendant and the descendant making some kind of hard aspect with each other, but you'll likely see something going on with those with the angles with that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Or wow, I'm getting angel bumps as we're talking about it because it's it's the connection between our fate and destiny and even seemingly random things. It's not to say you're destined to get into an accident, right? But but the energies that are arising are so synchronistic, right?

SPEAKER_00

Yes, the energies will show up somehow if you're paying attention, and those big dates, yes, they show up with our charts.

SPEAKER_04

I remember right before I met my husband, which was 32 years ago, uh, and it was my first astrology reading, and she said so many things about my childhood and what I was going through. And then she was like, You're going to meet someone within this time frame. And I was like, Whatever, lady. And this is exactly what happened. It was like right at the tail end of it. And I was like, I should study this.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, what astrology is so on the nose that often inspires people to study it or want to go on a deeper level.

SPEAKER_04

It's not below, it's like your personal life, your past, and in my case, because I do evolutionary astrology, your past lives, and like what's coming up and how it it shows up is so synchronistic. For people like you and me who see it over and over and over again, we can't question it anymore. I mean, it's like I can question like who is the intelligence behind this because this stuff is amazing, but like I can't question the veracity of it.

SPEAKER_00

Uh no. Very early on, if you're studying, you will see so many things that it like, yeah. There's it's silly to question the veracity of astrology. And as you learn more and more, I well, I will be like, I bet this is the aspect that happened based on this story. Yes. I'm right. Or if it's something a bit different, it's like, oh, okay, I see how that aspect it's always it's always right.

SPEAKER_04

And both you and I see July of 2026 as something pivotal.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_04

Also hot, hot, hot. Um, but there is a lot of unexpected slash angry energy as well, with a lot of heat in it. Um, explosive, and we have like a very explosive energy on July 4th, 20, 2026, which is the anniversary, 250-year anniversary of America celebration. And so it could be fireworks, could be fireworks, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Well, you know what's happening is that the White House is gonna have a WWE match on the White House lawn. So there are all these things happening.

SPEAKER_04

It's very aggressive, fighty Mars type of energy.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, bring these like someone attacking the White House is almost like the same energy as and it what it is is people literally fighting on the lawn, is going to be one of the ways the energy shows up. It's also like the Mars line, the like through LA and and I believe Las Vegas is is part of what is being activated. And it could be so let's not go to Las Vegas that week. I wouldn't, it might be just so blisteringly hot, could be what is happening. People could get out of control in some way. Um, it also it could be like LA. I'm thinking it could be unfortunately, it could even be like some kind of fire situation, or it just could be a lot of other people, like people and hot out of control.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, well, we definitely know that is gonna happen. I we I don't think you need to be a astrologer or a psychic.

SPEAKER_00

No, this summer is gonna be bananas.

SPEAKER_04

Bananas, yeah. So especially July and and into August because uh the Jupiter is changing into Leo, which is again a fire sign, and then the nodes of the moon. And I want to talk to you about the nodes of the moon because the nodes I want to talk to you about the cycles of the moon, but also the nodes of the moon, because that's where like a lot of evolutionary astrologers, we look at the nodes of the moon as very pivotal and people's soul contracts and soul purpose and what we're here to release as well. Um, so I don't think people know, like, do you hear people talk about the nodes of the moon? They're not actually a planet, right?

SPEAKER_00

Yes, they're points, they're imaginary points where the sun and the moon's path cross to the north and the south, their orbits from an earth perspective, and the sun is our conscious mind, and the moon is our subconscious mind, and as well, and they're very karmic, as well as we can think about how the sun is the leader of the authority, and the moon is the public. So it really speaks in our own chart about our soul's path, but it also speaks about the karmic collective path that we are experiencing as we go through time, and the nodes move backwards through the zodiac, so their rhythm when they change, it's like uh-uh, it's like yeah, it's a real adjustment, kind of herky jerky.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, and there'll be an event that there'll be an event, and and you're talking about the moon being the people and Leo. So the Jubers moving into Leo and the South Node, which is like what we're releasing, is also gonna be connecting in that karmic degree in in Leo, which is leaders, and then uh the north node gonna be in Aquarius, which is also people, so there's a lot of this people power, whereas leaders are like people are maybe gonna be waking up to their power.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, people are going to be coming together. We're gonna see high road and low road of people in groups coming together. Like I really loved seeing the people of Minnesota come together to protect their neighbors and bring them food and things for people who are too scared to go out because of these, you know, these raids that were happening. We're seeing people in towns around the country coming together in order to fight against these data centers that are just gonna destroy the environment. And that is gonna really kick off uh this summer, I think, with with some of the action about that. Especially, I just think that one in Salt Lake City, the Morgans are up, put up like I think it's like a collective awakening about you know, these systems of I don't really talk a lot about the patriarchy, but I you know, it's there is such a controlled atmosphere from that in that energy in the Mormon church about you do this or you do that or you're gonna get excommunicated and da-da-da-da-da. And people realizing is starting to break free from that that um the under that control structure when their their survival, their water, their air, their land is is at risk of being destroyed if they don't stand up against the authority.

SPEAKER_04

Well, that's some of the uh energy we're gonna see this summer, I think. And it's it's interesting you were talking about that because those data centers produce more heat than three atom bombs, that one in Utah. And we're talking about the heat. We're talking about the heat, but then also that Mars, which is hot and fiery and feisty, connecting with Uranus, which is those surprises, and also technology and electricity, all those things. So uh maybe it's the heat from those data centers or the anger from the data centers, also that's gonna like wake people up, which is very Uran Uranian energy, right? Uranus.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, something that's really intense because because Mars will meet Uranus and then make a sextile to Neptune and Aries, so that's very trying to Pluto and Aquarius. Well, hey, that's a big group of people having something to say about it as well. It's like the energy is like a lightning storm that sets off a forest fire. Um, and that's gonna also show up really in the people's behavior and emotions, and yeah, it's it's gonna be uh wild times.

SPEAKER_04

It's it is so you and I are both saying, Hey, July, like keep cool, like your temper. And it I you know what? I wouldn't be surprised if I'm going to be taking this clip that says it's a lightning storm that sets off a fire spark. Because a lot of times this stuff is very literal.

SPEAKER_00

It is literal, yeah. Somewhere in the world, there probably will be that exact thing.

SPEAKER_02

A lightning strike, and I'll be like, Look, Celestia, she said it, she said it because this stuff is like when Uranus changes signs and you get the earthquakes.

SPEAKER_04

It's like or the tsunami, like it's so literal, it's almost didn't ai when was it wasn't it introduced like right as soon as like Pluto went into Aquarius? Like we had our first is that right?

SPEAKER_00

Yes, and what happened was Saturn went into Pisces and then Pluto went into Aquarius, and then we got this AI, and then it's like you cannot believe what you are seeing anymore. That like the ability um just started to really really spread out there, but yes, chat GBT, we found out about it on a wider scale, right?

SPEAKER_02

Like the day, the day it happened or something.

SPEAKER_00

It was like right within days of uh Pluto entering Aquarius, so it's something else. So astrology never ceases to abase.

SPEAKER_04

I know, and you're so good at this predictive stuff. So tell us a little. I don't think anybody knows like about the moon, honestly. Like this is why I'm like, it is a patriarchal thing that we know all about the sun, and the moon is more like feminine in nature and receptive and yin, and like we who knows their moon sign? I do, you do, but like not a lot of people know their moon sign, right? So, can you talk a little bit about what the moon is and how it's represented in our birth chart and what it means for us?

SPEAKER_00

Yes, the moon is so important in our birth chart, it is a feminine energy, meaning that it's more internal, yin, receptive energy. It speaks to like each of the planets are a different part of ourselves, they're the actors, and they each have a function to express. And the moon is what keeps us safe and secure. That is its eternal drive to do. It's our emotions, it's our habits, it's our behaviors. It has to do with how we were raised. The moon symbolizes family and home, um, ancestry, it symbolizes our default behaviors. When someone like when you do something and you have no idea why you did it, it's likely coming from your moon sign because it really speaks to um the subconscious, which lies within us. All of our memories, the moon is memory, so all of our memories from our whole life is in there. And the sign it's in speaks to how we how we what we need in order to feel safe and secure, and what we would do if someone like pushed us against a wall. That's when you react through from your moon sign rather than your conscious mind, which is your sun or any of the other energies.

SPEAKER_04

Give us some examples of different moon signs and how they would respond or react because it is more instinct. How would they respond or react differently?

SPEAKER_00

Okay, so the fire, why don't we do the elements? So the fire moon uh Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Fire is yang, it is more reactive. So if someone pushes you against a wall and you have a fire moon, you're more likely to push them right back without even saying anything. Because it's like an instinctual nature just takes over. The fire signs are what we call bestial. So they really move, they really react from that animal instinct. Wow. And there's a need for uh freedom and to be valued and to like really have your energy be first and foremost with the different fire moons. Yeah. And like a fire moon might want to like an interaction starts, like you're having a conflict, and they just want to keep going and going until it's over. And then they may forget about it and walk away. Why would they forget about it? That's so funny. Because they're like, burns bright and like burns, and then it's and it extinguishes, and then they're like done with it. Oh my gosh, that's hilarious. If their partner is a water moon, water holds the energy, it's emotional, it's feeling, it's like water moons, like their reaction when the fight starts might be to, or if someone pushes them against a wall, it might be to just start crying or yeah, or blaming themselves.

SPEAKER_02

Like, what did I do?

SPEAKER_00

Exactly, exactly, and need to go be by themselves because water is um it's absorptive, and they start to absorb the other person's energy, and it can just be a really weird uh interaction.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff going on underneath the water, right? And it can stagnate. Like healthy energy always needs to move, so like emotions need to flow. But I imagine, like, if you don't even know that you have a water moon, maybe you'll just keep absorbing and and thinking everything's your fault. Yeah. And so earth signs and and air, let's do that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so earth signs are practical. So an earth sign may the the then and I should say the water signs were Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio. Now the Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. So they're pushed into it well, and they'll get into like a problem-solving mode to try to figure out, you know, how do I get out of this situation? There are more concerned with practical matters and manifesting in the real world and and uh being grounded, like accusations can be to be a little boring or stuck in your in your routines or rituals, but routine can be very, very needed and helpful for someone with uh Earth Moon, which could bore a fire moon. So if you're in relationships where you've got these different moon signs that are not in sync with each other, understanding this is the beauty of astrology. It gives you the words and the tools to be able to articulate what your needs are, especially when we're talking about the moon, we're talking about our needs so that each party can be like, oh, aha, that makes sense, and start to understand that like the way you are is not the way PCs are supposed to be. We're all like made of different ingredients in the cake that makes each of us that has different needs and desires and ways to soothe and take care of ourselves.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I wish everybody knew this. So before we leave them out, let's talk about it.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, the air spies would lose it if we left them out. The air signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. And the air signs are humane, so they're they're they're really concerned with the interactions between people and ideas and communication. And if you push them against a wall, they'll want to start talking and logicing the way out of the situation. And they're also someone who may want to, okay, let's talk this all through until we come up to an agreement about how we're going to move past this situation. And a fire moon might need to be like, uh, I just have to go for a walk. I need to get a I need to get a walk.

SPEAKER_02

I'm an earth sign and I have to go for a walk. Ah, I was just thinking that. I'm like, can I just go for a walk and figure out?

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Yeah, people have different concerns about how they need to to to deal with this situation. A water moon, may not. I need to go take a bath. I need to go into my room and separate my energy from yours so that I can I can um understand what I'm even feeling. Like water energy. Sometimes it may take a while for you to get to the words about what you're even feeling and what you even need besides a cookie or a cupcake if you're a piscin. Or cancer moose. Yeah, we need to.

SPEAKER_02

Or Virgo or Taurus or Capricorni.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

We do not need a cupcake at this point. Um, so it's uh it's interesting. Compatibility can be more of a moon thing than a sun thing in many ways, or both, really, but like, or it's the whole chart. But like it feels very like the moon can tell you more about relationships.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, absolutely. The moon has associations with relationships, it deals with receptivity, how you were nurtured as a child, how do you need to nurture, how you need to nurture yourself, how you like to be nurtured and care to care took, or the lack thereof, is also very important to understand. Like if you have a Scorpio moon, you may have a really deep need for connection and and feeling like the relationship, you know exactly what's going on with the relationship. And then someone who's like an air moon that may be a little more detached, that could be like a it could be a struggle to really feel connected, but maybe you can talk it through and and come to a an understanding of what the exact needs is are if you have the words in order to express them.

SPEAKER_04

Well, a lot of watery or empathic people, and you can see some of this in numerology as well, like the empathy numbers 369 and 2. And you're born on a three-day, which is your part of your empathy and expression, I believe. Uh I I feel like we can sometimes be like, why don't you know what I feel? You should be guessing it because I know what you feel, and so I would imagine in a in a chart with with all that water, moon, or a lot of water, or water connections or houses that someone would maybe hold on to their feelings and not be able to express them and then feel some resentment.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Yeah, the resentment can build and build and build until the person just like shuts down and gets quiet because you don't understand what they need, and maybe they're talking to an Aquarius moon who's like very more on the logical side and just does not get it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Actually, my husband has an Aquarius moon and his is in the eighth house, so he's definitely one of those people that's like, can we talk? We have to talk through everything that, and you know what? At first, my Virgo moon is like, I just need a walk, was like, but then now I'm I I just it's great because I'm just so grateful too to have a man that wants to talk things out, but you know, but even though he has an air sign moon, it's in this very deep personal house, very psychic type of house. So and isn't it amazing how we can see this in a birth chart?

SPEAKER_00

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Absolutely. Yeah, you also take into account the house, and yeah, there are watery, more watery houses, airy houses, yeah. So that that colors what you need from your moon sign or how your moon likes to react, as well as what planets it's talking to. Like if you have your moon talking to one of the outer planets, especially if it's a conjunction or a square or an opposition, that really colors the energy and speaks to um yeah, like your early development as well.

SPEAKER_04

What kind of things can you see when you look in a birth chart with the moon, especially?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, with the moon when it's making, especially like one of the more difficult or aspects is with Pluto. So when people have a moon, Pluto, whether oh you have that, yeah. Sun and moon, sun and moon, conjunct Pluto. Oh wow. So there could be themes of like deep ameshment where one of the it's almost like life and death. Like sometimes I've seen with that the one of the parents, and particularly the mother sometimes is so worried about the survival of the child for whatever reason, whether they had miscarriages or whatever, that it brings in with the child, like these real feelings of under threat emotionally all the time.

SPEAKER_04

That's exactly how I felt. Yeah, and it's it's in it's in the chart. What other things can you see in the chart with the moon?

SPEAKER_00

You can also see the nature of the mother, like sometimes with an air moon, the mother may have been a little bit uh like more detached, very social, and maybe depending on the chart, the the child feels like there's not that emotional connection sometimes can be what is going on, or they can be like their best friend. It depends on the whole thing. That's interesting. Yeah, like you chat, you like to chat with them.

SPEAKER_04

That's interesting. Do you look at the phases of the moon when you're looking at a chart? What does that tell you?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so there is something interesting when people are born like at a new moon, that can be their sun and the moon, especially if they're in the same sign, they can keep their own counsel, like not need to talk to anyone else about their feelings or just like really consult with themselves only. They're almost like uh yeah, that they have their own way of being. Yeah, and Stephen Ford.

SPEAKER_04

Or you can have a dark of the moon with the because that's where I am. The dark of the moon, they're the same signs, but they're it's it's before the new moon, which is an even more self-counsely kind of thing, right?

SPEAKER_00

Yes, me too. I'm a balsamic, although the different signs, but I love it. The balsamic moon, it's like you've been here before, and you're this life is like you're wrapping up cycles, you're learning lessons so that you can go to your next spiritual evolution. I was thinking uh the other week, I don't want to come back to Earth. I said it out loud on my spiritual evolution is on a star somewhere where there's a whole different thing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Next time, thank you so much.

SPEAKER_04

The nonviolent, like the kind planet. Can we go to the kind planet next time? Um, it's ridiculous. I mean, I'm enjoying my time here, but it's kind of I'm like this. This is a rental car. Um, it is a temp job.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so I'm trying to do everything, learn every lesson I need to learn, do it the right way so I can boo on up and out of this dimension.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Although I often talk about we're here, like that that's that's the thing. Like we are very much needing to be embodying all the lessons of the planet to transcend it. Like, we can't transcend it by just being like spiritual. You have to like be in the lessons, or else you you you're just gonna have to learn it manifold, right?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, being in the lessons, yeah. Even when you think you're like, oh, I've grown past all this stuff, a lesson will come and be like, oh.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, what about like a full moon? Yeah, funny too. Like I noticed my friends who were born like cancer full. I have a lot of cancer friends who are born full moon. They have round faces with a new moon. It's like interesting how your body can take on, you can tell, like, oh, you're cancer full moon, or you're a cancer new moon. Like your body can even take on the elements of of your chart.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, absolutely. The ascendant speaks to your the ascendant in the first house, um, really speaks to your how you appear. And I studied the horary, and you can use horror, which is the divinatory uh system of astrology. It's kind of like Tarot of astrology, and you can William Lilly was one of the big experts from the 1600s. Wow. And he would cast charts for like who stole my my donkey or whatever, and he would cast the chart and like be able to describe the thief, but based on oh my god, it's incredible.

SPEAKER_04

It's incredible, yeah, yeah. It's incredible. Okay, so you have these phases of the so the what what is like a full moon or a quarter moon baby like?

SPEAKER_00

What are they like? Okay, full moon person. So the sun and the moon are opposite each other, they're the lights, the conscious and the subconscious mind. This is you are here to learn through experiences with other people because oppositions are a lot about projection on others, so you can be like toggling through, projecting the themes of whatever the sign your your sun is in or your moon is in onto other people, the houses, that's where that that seesaw is happening. And yeah, so there's something about learning about relationships, and some of the people do it really, really well. And some people, you know, don't do it so well when they have them. It's so interesting. A lot of presidents are born at full moons because they have to learn how to interact with other people, emotionally understand what other people need or want. It gives them a like a Libra like essence being born at the why Libra, because Libra's relationship oriented, Libra's relational, mm-hmm. The mirror.

SPEAKER_04

Uh-huh. So, so but well, actually, a lot of royalty and leaders are born during eclipses as well, aren't they? Faded, faded, yes.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, their current president was born during a full moon. Yeah, full moon, lunar eclipse, and Sagittarius.

SPEAKER_04

Uh-huh. And then a lot of events happen during these eclipses as well.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, eclipses. I love eclipses.

SPEAKER_02

So I was born during an eclipse too, so I love eclipses too. Ah, you were born during uh a solar eclipse, it must be.

SPEAKER_00

Total solar eclipse, yeah. Wow, how interesting. Yeah, that brings your life, brings on a like a faded quality about your life. Do you really feel it when are there big turning points in your life just in general at eclipse seasons?

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I, you know, a lot of astrologers say don't do anything important during eclipse season. I do a lot of things important during eclipse because to me it's like a special time. Like it's like it's like, we I feel seen. Um which is the opposite of an eclipse. But um eclipses, like I because I have like a very uranium, like I love the reset, like I love that sense of like anything is possible. So can you tell us about like what eclipse energy is and like why so many things are faded during eclipses? Or faded fate? We have free will, but like that sense of fate, if you can explain that as well.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so eclipses are intensified new and full moons. We have two eclipse seasons every year, and these are turning points for the collective and for people. Now, some eclipses feel like a whisper, like what happened, nothing. Some are like uh you walk through a door, you turn around, there's a wall, like you meet your partner, you take on a new job, you have like for your mom, you had a kid, your kid. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, she has a surgery, like these big turning points in life are often when eclipses are on our personal planets or charts. And what happens, the solar eclipse is the key event that seeds thing that um um the new it's a new moon times 10 or 10,000, depending on your chart, where seeds are planted, and uh sun, moon, and earth are all lined up in the the align based on what because the note it has to do with the nodes and the geometry of of it, and the moon like moves between the sun and the earth and like cuts off the sun signal to the earth, and so the channel changes, and you can't go back to that old that old ever again, right? Ever again, you're like for the world forward, pulled forward much faster than you even realize. It can be a wild card, a big turning point.

SPEAKER_04

So it's and this is for everyone. We're not talking about people who are born during this time. We're talking about everybody, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Eclipses are big turning points, and we're recording this in 2026, the big eclipse turning point after a week after the solar eclipse in Aquarius, and they don't happen necessarily on this the exact day, it's usually within a couple of weeks before or after. Sometimes it's the exact day, but Israel and Iran attacked. I mean, Israel and the U.S. attacked Iran. That was the biggest.

SPEAKER_04

Well, and then and then Israel's leader, the U.S. leader, and Iranian leader at the time all were born during eclipses.

SPEAKER_00

Uh yep. Yep. And now the whole world is turned upside down because and there was a solar eclipse in Aquarius, which rules the collective. It's a humane sign. It also has to do with technology. There were a lot of other events as well. Um, it's squared Uranus and Taurus, which rules resources. So there's evil around resources, and six-month cycle, and we're we're just like now that we're talking, we're in uh Taurus season, which is the midpoint between the two eclipses, and oh wow, wow, where this this new moon we just had is a turning point, so there's new stories coming in now. Oh, yeah, like we're kind of and people are really going to be see more and more about the how their resources are being restricted. Like right after it was it in weeks in Asia, certain countries that got get like most of their oil or all from the Middle East really started slowing down and having to have days off and this and that. We haven't really felt it here in the US yet, except for prices going up. Yeah, we're gonna start feeling it.

SPEAKER_04

You and and again, I've been following Celeste for years now, and you're very accurate with this mundane astrology. You're super accurate, and um yeah, so is there anything else you want to share about the moon? And then I want to talk about uh your offering as well. So does is there something else you want to share that you want people to know about?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, understanding your moon sign can be so helpful for you to understand, especially in this time where there's all this chaos, being able to connect with that inner voice that that is within you and that inner needs of what you need to feel safe, secure, how you handle how you handle um unexpected like uh jolts and and and chaotic events, the like the blitzes of life can really help you see them coming before they're there. Because you can start to recognize things earlier and help you do your best to move through this time of great upheaval with your relationships, with yourself, help you teach your, if you have them, children how to understand their own inner voices and their own inner worlds, as well as better relationships with. Everyone around yourself. So it's really, really helpful.

SPEAKER_04

Can people can people learn this about their moon? Like, is it hard?

SPEAKER_00

Uh no, it's not hard. You can come take the proper care and feeding of your moon course with me. Well, you'll learn all about the moon sign, the moon house it's in, the aspects it's making, the moon phase you were born other under, so that it helps you understand yourself. And then you can learn about the people in your life as well. And yeah, it's really a great way to connect in with yourself. And I'm doing this right before Mercury retrograde. So we're gonna have sessions June 7th and 21st. And then Mercury is gonna go be uh in the retrograde pre-shadow and then go retrograde. So it'll really give you a great opportunity. It goes retrograde in the sign of cancer to really understand your inner world, your emotions, and everything. Because the moon will be Mercury will be reporting into the moon, and it'll change every two and two and a half days, and it'll really give you you're gonna be getting aha moments after aha moments after aha moments if you're really paying attention to your so that's that's your course, the proper care and feeding of the moon, which I just love that name.

SPEAKER_04

I love it so much because it's true, because we have to feed our moon, we have to like nurture and feed our inner world, right?

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely, absolutely. I I think it's so important, and astrology is one of the tools. I also recommend using Oracle or Tarot cards because that needs to be like a second check to really understand what's going on, especially whether you're you're moving out of fear or you're moving out of uh really your your inner voice, your intuition.

SPEAKER_04

Well the moon is connected, the moon is connected to the intuition as well. Yes. And that's why I feel like what you're doing is very important. I am an affiliate, a proud affiliate of Celeste's course. So if you and you all know I like very rarely, it's once in a blue moon. That will sign up for it. You know, Celeste and I came with the same ring today, which is so funny. We're because we're like, this is literally our first conversation, but we're like soul sisters. Anyway, um, you know, I I feel very connected. You know, I'm very discerning about who I um bring on, and especially who I would be affiliate with their courses. So if you do want to sign up, I'll I have my link below. Uh sign up through there. But I I want to uh make it clear like astrology isn't scary to learn. Like it it's when you hear us talk, we're like conjunctions, it can be like, okay, that's too much. But this is a very simplified, focused for the people because the moon is for the people. So you made this like for the people, right?

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely. I got the message that I really needed to do this, yeah, and keep it simple for people who wanted to use astrology, not necessarily be this is not for you if you are like your goal is to become a professional astrologer, although professional astrologers could take the class and learn from it. This is really a tool to help you use the beautiful and use astrology to help you understand your inner world better and have better relationships, and it definitely helps with both of those things. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04

Don't go into any relationship without knowing your person's like I feel it's so essential to understand this, and that's why I'm so glad you're teaching it. And thank you for teaching it.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, it's my pleasure, yeah, and it'll help, even if you know astrology. A lot of classes give the moon a short shrift, and that's another thing.

SPEAKER_04

I know it makes me it makes my moon infuriated, or maybe it's more because like I feel like there's so much emphasis on solar energy, which is like go, go, go, do, do, do, that it's like it's so emblematic. Like, you know how different countries have like more words for love or more different languages, like their language says everything about their values. And I feel like, okay, so some king, like a few hundred years ago, was like, let's do this sun sign thing in newspapers and like focus on that. And like, so we're so focused on that. And it's very like to me, that is the patriarchy. It's just like, do, go, work, produce, and like you need care and feeding, like, you need nourishment, you need rest, you need yin. And it's so short shrift, this understanding of the feminine nature, of our intuitive nature, and that's why I very feel like it's so important, and I'm very passionate about it as well, because the moon needs more light.

SPEAKER_00

It does, it does, absolutely. And I spent a ton like I was in sales and marketing, and that is all it was was do more, more, more, go, do, do, do. It's exhausting, it's unnatural. The if you look from at the full moon, the sun and the moon, you know, from our perspective on Earth, they both look like the same size at certain times in the cycle. Amazing. This energy of growth and decay, which is natural. So going within is a natural way to to to move through the move through the energy in a healthy way. And this is one of the things the uh working with your moon can help you do sink in with more natural rhythms that help your like vitality and your physical body.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, yeah, like we plant by the moon. You can cut your hair by the moon, whether growth, you know, surgery, all the things. That's why there's a whole manifesting with the moon cycle. And is that one of the things you're gonna be talking about? The ebbs and flows, the waxing and waning, and how to plant seeds of intention and letting are you gonna be sharing about that in the course?

SPEAKER_00

About the moon phase you were born under that will be in the course. But when we meet, I'll talk more about the just the general moon cycles, depending on what's going on in the sky when we're meeting.

SPEAKER_04

It's super important, and I love, love, love that you're covering the cycle of the moon that you're born in. It is very important. It is very important. And when I learned that I was born at the dark of the moon, right before it totally changed my life when I learned about the eclipse and the dark of the moon. Like it it made everything make sense to me, you know, and why I am the way I am.

SPEAKER_00

And absolutely, it shed so much light on your on your energy because a Leo moon who's born at a Leo full moon versus a Leo Balsamic moon, there's a big difference between those two energies.

SPEAKER_04

I know we're wrapping it up, but I really want to know what's your take on like a Leo balsamic moon? Because Leo is like larger than life. So, of course, a full moon would be like, Yay, but like what would like a Leo balsamic moon be like?

SPEAKER_00

A Leo balsamic moon would be a lot quieter, more internal, having a need to, they may still have that, like, oh yeah, let's go to the party, let me show up, let me show out, but then I gotta go home and I've got to recharge. And maybe they never have that energy feeling of I've got to interact with others because the balsamic moon is so internal. They may really need their inner world and that creativity, they may come from them connecting with their conscious mind, their son, like in themselves, maybe they're an artist rather than uh rather than the life of the party.

SPEAKER_04

But I bet you anything, they need to be appreciated by their artists.

SPEAKER_01

Absolutely, definitely need to be appreciated.

SPEAKER_04

So if you if you know that your partner is a Leo Moon and they're like, well, they don't seem like that, but you better appreciate like when they cook, you know, like they do something pretty or they you know do something nice for you. You you know that that is a thing.

SPEAKER_00

They need validation, absolutely.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, we all do, but I would imagine, like if that is so dialed in. So this is why, again, it's so important what you're doing to know these the secret lunar life that's not really shared that much, even when you take an astrology course or or anything. And so if you're just reading, okay, like you know, Virgo Sun, Leo, moon, like you're gonna be like confused, maybe, like, but it's very helpful to know and how this balances and and this may more make more sense to you than your actual sun sign. And you'll see how they work together. So thank you for teaching this. Oh, before I let you go, we always here do a magic lesson, something simple that people can integrate into their lives to assimilate this a lesson where they can connect more with their divinity and the magic of the universe. What magic lesson would you like to share today?

SPEAKER_00

I would suggest people follow the moon in the transiting moon and know what sign it's in. And I do I post moon memos that tell you on Instagram and Facebook and YouTube that can help you. Part of the course is you'll get um a daily moon transit guide to help you things to be aware of when the moon is in the different signs, because that can help you really understand your own self and your own world if you know your chart. Okay, when the moon's in Leo for me as a cancer rising, is always going through my second house. So I am doing something by dances. I will catch myself like paying a bill or doing this or that, and it's like again and again and again, and then you start to notice these things and you can plan around it. Like a Pisces moon, I'm kind of like in dream world. So I would never plan something really important at that time. So knowing that we're the transit moon is a way to connect in and and watching for her in the sky can be really helpful as well.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I love that so connect with the moon like in your daily life in these many ways. That's a beautiful and very helpful magic lesson. And so astrology, it's it's at astrology by Celeste.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I'm at Astrology by Celeste on all the socials. My podcast is called Celestial Insights, and my website is astrology by Celeste.com.
