Astrology - Best of Coast to Coast AM - 2/20/25

And when I left there, I decided nothing else was working, so I would try everything that she said.

an owner's manual. Does it predict the future? It can in a way, because if I see that you're a diesel engine, but you put gas in your car, I can predict you're going to break down. Or if I see that you're a Ferrari and you decide to keep it in the garage, I'm going to predict you're going to be unhappy. So in that sense, astrology can be somewhat predictive. But the most important thing I tell all of my clients is that you are in the driver's seat.

You have total control over whatever any astrologer tells you, and the best astrologers are going to empower you and realize that you're perfectly designed as the type of car that you are. And if you're a Ferrari, be the best Ferrari possible. If you're a cheap be the best jeep. And what we do, what I do and what I teach my students how to do in my astrology Wisdom Academy is we look at the human as a car.

So we check out the four tires, and we check out under the hood, and we figure out how to give you a tune up, and it's like getting a tune up for your soul. And then we help direct you figure out how to get to where you want to go and when you do what is part of your soul's purpose, the universe conspires to help you out because then you're in alignment with the highest version of what you could possibly be.

part of that twenty percent, it's only twenty percent. The rest eighty percent we're born when mercury was direct, But when you are a mercury retrograde baby, it means that when mercury goes retrograde, that's actually your good time, and we feel like we can move forward at that time. When it goes direct, everyone else is relieved, and then we feel as if it's retrograde when everyone else has

it feeling better. So I have great compassions for other mercury retrograde people because we're sort of used to living with a little bit more of that frustration. But we're also able to deal with it better because we've figured out creative ways to live and to utilize the way that we're designed. And it can make for much more original thinkers too. If you happen to be a mercury retrograde baby.

what a great thing, or you can parallel park. It's like nothing is ever really negative, even though it may be a little bit uncomfortable. Because we live in a very fast paced world, and we all want to go one hundred miles an hour and just get to where we want to go. But sometimes speed is actually a symptom of immobility because when you're going so fast all the time, you don't actually notice anything that's going slower than you, and we tend to be impatient with things

that are slow. So mercury retrograde babies and during the mercury retrograde time. It's actually a beautiful thing that we have it because it almost is forcing us to stop and have a little bit more of a sense of wonder, perhaps a deeper connection to the natural world and the natural rhythms. We just can't always go forward. Sometimes going backwards is healthy.

the reason for that. Let's start with mercury since I did a whole book on it. You can easily look up your mercury sign and it will usually be always either one sign ahead of your Sun sign or one behind because in the sky a mercury planet is always very close to the Sun. So the mercury sign will tell you how you use words and how you communicate.

That gives me a much stronger idea of what you're like as a person and whether or not I'll get along with you, because there really are no communication issues out there. It's just that people have different frequencies with how they talk. And if you can understand the way you're designed with words, it can help you so much

in relationships. And then with the Moon sign, the reason that's so important is that the Moon, which is a rock and space that regulates every body of water on planet Earth, and we are connected to these planets up there. We all know that the Moon does that with the tides, but all the other planets also have an influence on us. But the Moon is all about emotions. Now, why is the moon connected to emotions. It's because emotions actually are water.

Think about tears that roll down your face. When we look at someone's moon sign, which could be any of the twelve zodiac signs, it's going to tell me how you deal with emotions. If you have your moon and a water sign, you're going to be much more emotional than someone who has their moon and fire. So what does fire do. It evaporates water. So this information tells you much more about what the person is really like, much more so than any sun sign could ever tell you.

what a does it hides under? You know, it's a little hole and protects itself only if it's threatened. And that cancer sign is definitely who I am, but not what I appear to be. When I'm out in the world. I appear much more as a lion as a leo.

I think she was about two hundred pounds overweight, and she just couldn't figure out why all the years of therapy and everything she's ever tried, nothing seemed to work. And so what I find is that astrology will give me the information to figure out the root cause of any problem. And this is something that no doctor or anyone could ever find because astrology holds this mystical secret of the reason why we are the way we are.

So in this woman's case, I saw that she had a very traumatic childhood and she agreed that she had, and I just didn't give up. And that's one thing I'm very tenacious. I know the astrology chart in her lives are the people may not realize things, but the chart will always tell me what the answer is. And so I didn't give up talking about this childhood that

she had had. And finally she had a memory because I just was so unrelenting, it popped in to her mind and she said, well, my gosh, when I was little, my parents used to force me to eat all the time, and if I didn't eat, they would literally sit there and shove the food down her throat. And she was so traumatized by food, and she had completely blocked this memory out. And I said, this is the root cause, this is why you have the weight problem now at

age seventy George. She had suffered with this for so long, and she had never put the two things together that what had happened to her as a young child was actually deeply embedded in her body. And we have a very strong indication of this type of thing happening to people if it occurs around age five. Age five is key. If you can live your life up until age five without anything major in a traumatic way happening to you,

you probably will do pretty well. But when things happen at age five, it's particularly damaging because a five year old does not have a brain that's developed enough to explain things. All this person knew with these parents is that they're supposed to be taking care of her and they love her, and she must be a bad girl because she's not able to eat this food and she didn't know how to put it all together. So that's really important. And it doesn't matter how old you are

to have an astrology reading. There's always something that can be improved or some piece of wisdom that brings clarity to your life. I once had a client who was in her nineties and she just wanted to get an

overview of her life. And one of the most amazing things that happened in that reading was that I was able to look up her mother's chart and explain what her mother was like, and it gave her so much peace to realize that she wasn't crazy, that her mother actually had a really difficult chart, and it just brings peace, always, always, it brings an understanding. If you can explain things to people, then you can be at peace with it.

there's nothing shy about the way they speak. One of the downsides of a Mercury Sagittarius person, if they're not careful, is that they have to watch where they point that arrow because some people don't appreciate the directness that they have. Now, it's not a bad thing, and it's it's just what it is. And I always compare people to dogs, and I tell people, look, if you have a basset hound, you're not going to get mad at it because it cannot perform in a race with a greyhound. It's going

to lose. You can't yell at it for having short legs. We have a way of speaking that person with Mercury and Sagittarius. They are sharp, they are direct, but they're great if you need to fight for something, and they're funny, and it's sometimes really great when you can have words

that just hit the bullseye. But if you're in a relationship with someone who has their Mercury and Pisces, that means every time they open up their mouths, it comes through the image of what Pisces is, and it's two fish. Now fish live in the water, and in the picture of pices, one fish is going left and one fish is going right. And they have absolutely no weapons. Their teeth are very small, they are soft with how they

used words, and they don't like to fight. And when you put a Mercury Pisces person in a relationship with a Mercury Sagittarius person, it's not that easy. So what I do in the book is I explain what it's like for each one individually, and then I do all the one hundred and forty four combinations. So you can look up your mercury sign and then compare it to your husband's or your child, and it brings so much peace because then you don't get mad at them because

they don't communicate the way that you do. That's a big secret, and I think knowing your mercury sign can do more to change your life than knowing what your son's sign is all about.
