A passionate instigator and dynamic problem solver. Doctor Kevin ross Emery, the host of the Doctor Kevin Radio Show. We'll be taking you outside the box, behind the curtain and identifying the load of bs we are fed every day. And now, Doctor Kevin, Hello, Hello, Hello, and welcome to another planetary Influences here on the Doctor Kevin Show. Every month, once a month we do Planetary Influence with Rob Stewart from Inner Center Astrology dot com.

That's Inner Center Astrology dot com. Rob Stewart comes and we see how the credits are going to influence us over this upcoming period. And again, it's like to remind people they don't make your decisions. They don't create your destiny. They don't tell you what to do or not to do, but they are a valuable source of information with which you can make better decisions, just like anything else. Your astrology may tell you something, your doctor, your

lawyer, and your candlemaker may tell you something different. Your history may weigh in, but it's all information that you should take in, balance out and make the best decision possible. If you say, wow, it's astrology crap. I don't know, like I never feel like what I read in the paper lines up, well, you can be very correct because it might not

line up, might not line up at all. You may have a little fun in Virgo, but you may have a ton of other stuff hanging out in I don't know Libra, or Taurus or cancer, and they're all going to give you a very different experience than reading the twenty five words in the local newspaper or the pop up on the on whatever your latest app is or

whatever. So if you want to have a yearly use astrology as a tool, if you want to use it as a source of information that can really make a difference in your life, then you need to get each heart done and you need to have a basic understanding. Then you tune in here with Rob and I and we apply what's going on in the stars and the skies, and with your baseline of knowledge and the ability to call us in call into us at two two seven seven five seven, we can give you the

insights that makes that valuable information. It's not valuable if you don't understand it. It's not valuable if you don't know where to place it, and if you don't have your astrology chart or an understanding of it, or an understanding that you fail really helps you. As you tune into US monthly, then

go to Inner Center astrology dot com. Have robbed you your chart, go over it with you, and then next month when you tune in and Rob's going over your chart, he can answer your question if you don't see where these things are going to affect you or how they apply, because you can call in again at two two seven seven five seven every month. Rob and I are here to give you a leg up advantage on your decision making for the next four weeks or so. So that said, I'm gonna welcome on

Rob. Rob. Are you there, I'm here, Yeah, thanks for having me, Doctor Kevin. Absolutely. So we're going to dive into kind of like what the astrology, what those influences are for the next month. But again remember you can call in with questions or cut us. Uh and uh Rob, let's get to the horse races, all right. Yeah, And you know, I do want to preface everything with you know, the astrology doesn't really speak to what will happen in life, and you mentioned this

earlier, but it doesn't really mention what will happen. But it really was a good job of providing some contexts or some of the questions that might come up, you know, over the next month. And that's that's sort of the themes that we'll be talking about today. And I always always make it clear with the clients I work with that you know, you know, we can work with the flow of energy in our life, the astrological energy,

I guess should say, and not be subject to them. That's it doesn't it's it's not something that we're forced by these astrological energies, so to speak. But I see it as something that we can work with to to really move with the flow of life. So with that said, August sixteenth, so that was just a couple of days ago, or yesterday rather, but we had a new moon in Leo on August sixteenth, and new moons happen once a month and they indicate, from the astrological perspective, a new beginning.

And in the sign of Leo, there's something about bringing and reconnecting with joy in your life. Leo is charismatic, it's exuberant, it's creative, cheerful, and so this is a wonderful time to begin new creative projects in your life. And it's a wonderful time to connect with your authentic self. You know, you're allowing your heart to sing and really shining your unique light

into the world. It's a wonderful time to start new projects in that way and really bring you your full self into life, and particularly in relationships. Because this new moon occurred yesterday, it was conjunct Venus when and conjunct means it's just in the same location in the sky in this case as Venus.

And so this is about bringing your authentic self into relationship, bringing joy into relationship and Venus Venus is known for representing the archetypes of relationships, as I've mentioned, but it's also about what you value and your own value system. And so you know, with a new moon conjunct Venus and Leo, there's something about connecting with what brings you joy in life. Are your values aligned with allowing yourself to shine in life? You know these types of things.

This is a wonderful time to begin new projects or new ventures in those areas of life over this next month, but also over the next six months, because new moons initiate a sort of a new six month period every new moon that we have. The other thing I want to say with this new moon, and then doctor Kevin, I want to have you chime in about this.

This new moon is squaring Urinus urness is and Taurus. Uriness is making a trine to mercury and Mars in Virgo as well, So you know, basically this is there's something about you know, wherever Mars is in the chart, Mars is conjunct to mercury in this new moon. Mars is about having courage in Virgo, it's about having the courage to make adjustments. Mercury speaking

talking about those things. And so with this new moon in Leo conjunct to Venus squaring Urinus, which is trying Mars and mercury in virgo, there's something about you know, looking at you know, how much space, how much freedom do you have in your relationships? Is it too much freedom? Are you being too much of a rebel sort of speak? Do you have enough

freedom in your relationships to follow your own joy? These are some of the themes that are in play here over the next six months with this new moon in theo. Dcor Kevin, do you have anything to to share about these dynamics. Yeah, there's a couple of things that hit me obviously with a new moon and Leo and I always think, you know Leo is that is

that moment where we can choose to shine. We our energies at that time are going to make us attractive in the things that we do in the energy of Leo, and we should be looking at creating, recreating, co creating. But there the but the Leo energy always speaks to me of creation. And you know, when you have the childlike energy of Leo, I always think of Leo is childlike energy in some ways play creativity and can have some

self absorbed this to it. It is interesting when you had this very powerful trine that is challenging you to look at things differently, how you think about things, how you move through the world, and how do you adjust to sudden change. And so as these are coming in, I look at these coming together, Rob and first of all, where is Leo in your shark?

That's a very important thing because whatever house these are all these things are playing out in, are going to tell you where this is going to show up in your life most what area you'll have areas of your life that won't be touched by this energy at all. And you know, and that's The beauty of astrology is when you really understand it and you can work with it, you can kind of zoom in into like what those areas are, those parts of your life, those parts even of your body help all sorts of

different things. That's going to have this back and forth, but it's going to stay unpredictable. And as you are creating, I would say at this time and wherever this is for you, that you are also going to have to look at the fact of there's going to be unpredictable change. You're going to have to stay flexible in how you think of all things, how you're moving through the world, and whatever it is that you're trying to create, there's going to be with this, I would say, look for a real

potentially synergistic but definitely catalystic set of energies. And again it depends on where LEO is in your chart and what do you already have there to say these are the things where this energy is going to focus. Does all that makes sense, absolutely, absolutely, abolutely? You know you have you have two different powerhouse sets of planets that are interrelating with each other, pushing each other like putting each other on steroids to try and in the conjunction puts everything involved

on a form of steroids. And then they're coming at it with this almost energy of look at wherever this is. I'm gonna say it is probably a life lesson for you. Would you agree? Yeah, it's yeah, very very possibly for sure. You know, whenever there's a square to Urnus, I think you know you mentioned the word flexibility, those are going to be really important. You know, Urness is whenever there's a contact to Urness,

and this new moon does so over the six month year. There's a sort of Uranian aspect to everything, and Urinus is sort of asking each of us to be sure that we're individuated enough from you know, the conformity pressers of society, of family, of friends, or wherever else conformity pressures are coming

from. And with this Urinus is squaring Venus. And so you know, as you mentioned, you know, the flexibility in relationship or unpredictability, you know, maybe in your friendships and things like that, not that anything bad is going to happen, but you know in life we need to be flexible, as you know, with friends and all the rest. Over this next six months, there there could be opportunities for that and the opportunities to simplify

and get more clear on things that are most import important to you. Taurus

uranus and Taurus. Yeah, we've there anything else in convention, well, you know, flexibility, also uranus, unpredictability, sudden change, electricity, flash and so you know, And I'm just looking because as I'm talking to you, and I want people out there to know how much more benefit it is when you say these things, because I look at you know, it's the end of my ape house, because my mercury is in Leo, but my uranus is in Leo, and it's my it's my ninth house costs.

So that gives me a ton of information to help me be best paired to manage what I feel like there's a pretty powerful set of interactions in the planet. Yeah. Yeah, and we're going to keep on going on in the astrology. But if we have a little time at the end, I'm going to put you on the spot and ask you what would you say to me as a client knowing that this has happening over my natal my natal uranus.

Absolutely, you know, I think that's the thing with these transits, is that talking about these transits as we are in the show and as we do it is it can be helpful in a general sense, but it's it's really how it relates to your own chart. That's where the rubber hits the road. That's where it gets more realistic and practical. Talking about them in general in this way is helpful, but it you know, we applied to a chart. That's where we really get to see some of the the details and

the power of astrology. So now in August twenty three, we have two major things happening. The first is the sun entering Virgo. So the sun has been in Leo over the past thirty days or so, August twenty three, the sun enters Virgo, the sign of Virgo, and you know, in review Leo over the past thirty months, Leo's about, like you said, expressing yourself, being creative. It's about pouring yourself out into the world. Now, Virgo is about making adjustments to that, making adjustments in your

life. What can you fix, what can you improve upon? You know, Virgo is about tasks and chores and the daily grind, making adjustments, being useful. You know, how can I be more useful in my daily

routine? Virgo. You know, So over this next thirty days with the sun moving through Virgo, where being the light is being shined in areas of our life where we can be more organized, breaking big things down into small things and taking it step by step, identifying problems that need to be fixed, making yourself useful and mentioned that one, but contributing your skills, refining

your skills, working with a mentor, or mentoring others. Virgo is about mentorship, and sometimes mentorship means that we ourselves are being mentored, you know. But also it's about passing on your knowledge. That's that's a very Virgo energy, as well as passing the torch in other words, and sharing wisdom and knowledge and practical information. So over the next thirty days, these there's real focus in this. This energy is wonderfully can be wonderfully used for going

over the details and something in your life. You know, maybe it's going through your notebook or you know, whatever the whatever project or task that needs

really detailed organized structure. This is will be a wonderful time for you to look through that, Doctor Kevin, any thoughts son Virgo, I mean not specifically, you know, it's the same old, same old as far as you know, to me, Virgo is always practical service, and that practical service has to be balanced between practical service for others and practical service for yourself.

And you talked about a lot of things we could do for practical service for ourselves, but in the time of Virgo, there's also going to be us looking at being practical service for others. It's it's it's a time when suddenly we make catch up on promises of things that we were going to do for somebody like an elderly parent or you know, or whatever. But but it is a time of again practical service. So outside of that, I'm just gonna say that, you know, it's going to go over my native

Pluto. So well, what does that mean to me? Rob, Yeah, so, so the sun will be solarizing your Nato Pluto in other words, at some point over the next thirty days, because the sun's moving through Virgo. Is that your that's that's yeah, the Sun's gonna go over my four degrees of Pluto and my mid heaven and your's going to be the top of my chart. Yeah. So right, so this is as you know, and obviously doctor, you know, this is a wonderful opportunity to talk

about how to apply the sun and and these transits. So the sun conjunct or natal Pluto is something that happens once a year. And with your Pluto's location at the mid Heaven, you said, Pluto always speaks to what I consider past life wounds. Pluto in the birth chart speaks to areas in life where we've had experiences, whether it earlier in life or in past lives as I as, I believe where there is something really deep and difficult that we

had to navigate, and it's something that I always sort of consider. You know, if you do believe in past lives, on your death head, in a past lifetime, you might have thought, gosh, if that area of life went better, everything would have been a little bit easier. And when I say that area life, I mean Pluto, Nato Pluto, and for me, that's right on the mid Heaven. That's about your your career.

It's about who you're seen as in the public. The tenth House is your outer self, the self that you're bringing to the world, and but it's not there. It's not your true self. It's just who you're seen as in the public. And so a tenth house person as an example would be, you know, the President of the United States. It's it's someone

that we we know their name. It might might bring about a reaction in us one way or another, and but you know, we don't know who they are truly, you know, when they're home with their family and all that stuff. You know, it's a it's a public persona that we know them by. That's a tenth house. That's our tenth house. And so with the sun conjunct your Pluto, it's shining the light on any past life wounding or early life wounding related to your public standing, your public appearance,

your your achievements. Tenth house, you're the things that Pluto there you might have thought you should be recognized for. But you know, of course there's times in life where we're not recognized by the things we how we'd like In Virgo, it's about, like you said, that service and another Virgo quality we haven't talked about is holding oneself to impossible standards. That's a real pluto and Virgo. I could have done better. I should have been better than

that, you know. So the sun is sort of lighting up these things, helping bringing more empowerment. Pluto is alveout empowerment and about being braved in areas where we've felt wounded in the past. And so so the funny thing is is because my Pluto is actually coming up to my mid heaven, so it's in the ninth and my but as soon as it passes over the mid Heaven, it then passes over my North node. So I have North Node and Pluto one each, one on each side of the mid heaven. Yeah,

yeah, well, yeah, that's a very interesting alignment. And what's interesting about Pluto and Virgo. Any placements in Virgo have suffered in some way in the past, according to the perspective I take of internalize some of the

criticisms that the world. You know, we live in a world that's always a bit behind the times, you know, And with a Pluto in Virgo in the ninth you might have some inner you might have had to endure some criticisms due to your beliefs nine paths and how that and your beliefs that you bring to your career and those things. And in Virgo, it's all about self love, you know, It's all about you know, your job is to love yourself despite any of these internal criticisms from the past when you know

you were saying angel that wasn't accepted at the time. You know, this is just a part of a much bigger summary and description, but these are

some of the components that that sound could be bringing. Yeah. Well, and I would think when it hits that north node, which is what I'm trying to create in this life, it's my pathway forward that you know, in this lifetime, I may be writing some of those wrongs by how people see my faith in the world, you know, And that makes so much sense to me because thirty three years ago, when I left corporate and had

a good corporate job and blah blah and all of that stuff. To go back into the psychic alternative fields, the very first thing, you know, one of my earliest things was I'm a professional. I'm at a different profession, but I'm still a professional, and I will be treated like a professional. I will act like a professional. You know, I'm not some circus clown because I have the word psychic in my description, and that goes very

much against the grain thirty three years ago. Even today, it still goes against the grain. But people want to dismiss my profession as illegitimate, and I'm here to make my professions be seen as legitimate with illegitimate people getting involved. Like every profession has ill legitimate people getting involved, including the presidency. But Soun's gonna ging all of those over the next month, and we're gonna take our break and then we're gonna move on to what else is going on

This is our prime of the month where we do planetary influences, so to see what's going on in the skies and what kind of influences will they have and how can you use that information with which to make better decisions. Here we are with Rob Stewart from Inner Center Astrology dot Com, as we are talking about what's going on during the time of Virgo. So Rob, let's go ahead and keep moving and

tell us what else is going on? All right, So, also on August twenty third, the same day that the sun enters Virgo, we have a Mercury retrograde beginning in Virgo. As a lot of the listeners are probably familiar that the retrograde period of a planet occurs when that planet appears to be

moving backwards in the sky. In fact, that the planet is not actually moving backwards obviously, it's just from the perception of Earth and our orbit relative to Mercury's orbit, it looks like Mercury's moving backwards in the sky, and that's what's considered a Mercury retrograde. They last for three weeks approximately, and

this one's in Virgo. So now, a Mercury retrograde, or when any planet is retrograde, it's a time to really organize, re reevaluate the energies of that planet and really rework it re you know, whatever you're doing before, Hey, this is a time to switch it up, try something else. Mercury is about our thinking process. It's how we perceive things. It's where we place our minds attention, and so with a mercury retrograde and virgo, you know, switching up how you know, switching up the organization.

You're looking at the way you've organize certain things. Where do you need to be more diligent? Where do you need to be more task oriented? You know, do you have too many tasks? Are you which ones do you need to refocus on? What old work do you need to revisit to clear up, to organize? You know, last show, Dartor Kevin, you had the wonderful example of you described a great example of that old file cabinet, you know, and in mercury retrograde, Hey, organizing that file cabinet

and looking through and you know, storting it out. You know, this is a wonderful time, very detail oriented time to look at past things and organize those things. It's not a great time. Mercury Retrograde's not a great time to start something new. It's a better time to reevaluate things from the past and things you've already worked on and to revisit them. And you know, it's not the end of the world if you have to start something new

and the mercury retrograde that happens all the time. In fact, I'm starting new stuff during the retrograde. But it's just not an optimal time or forward movement when it comes to data analysis or marketing or mercury Mercury ruled areas of life, which is, you know, anything related to the mind, communication perception with those things. So but it is it's just a wonderful time to really organize a work on things from the past that need diligent task focus.

Do you have any thoughts on this? This goes through September sixteenth. Do you have any thoughts on that? Doctor Kevin? Absolutely so. First of all, it's probably the term one of the most recognized terms. Oh, mercuries retrograd We've all used it, We've all used it in that tone of voice because communication will oftentimes break down, and it's the external communication that breaks

down. And so people, you know, everything from the internet, a my email I set you and it did to the text that wasn't received or the voicemail that wasn't heard, with a letter that got misplaced. There are always some kind of communication challenges, so you want to double check anything with

communication. If somebody always gets back to you really quickly and suddenly a day is past, assumed that they didn't get it, they didn't got block somewhere, that some weird thing happens, and we all know that happens, especially in the day of the internet. And you reach out again, don't go, oh, well, they must be busy about blah blah blah. And then five days later you reach out and they go, yeah, I never got it. You've lost four days time. So just stay on top of

that stuff. I do want to share that there does tend to be some fungling in communications when mercury is retrograde. The other side is as you are going back to reorganize the files and look at stuff and things like this, it is a great time in which you may have epiphanies or see things or come to different conclusions, but it's not a good time to make the change

yet. So as so Rob referred to starting new things, I also tell people look use this time and if where your focus seems to be drawn is to go through and organize let's say the old files and the filing cabinet. It's not just organizing them. There may be things in there that you forgot, you lost track of, things that fell through the cracks. You may find that you have some kind of different way you want to do things or

see things. There's something you can see clearly. And when I go, and when any planet goes retrograde, I always go, this is a time to deal in this area of your life based on the planet, the sign and the house that's going through to go inward. It's not time until it goes forward to check one last time. Make sure any changes you want to make still make sense. You've tracked them all out, you've thought them out well. And wait until Mercury is going direct before you make the changes.

All of that makes sense, Rob absolutely, absolutely, No I. I. I often tell people that you know, during mercury retrograde, whatever you're working on, it's possible that not all the information is quite in yet. And that's why you know it's mercury. When mercury goes direct, meaning it sort of it stops, it's it's reverse motion and begins to move forward.

That's when the other information can come in it's so just know that, you know, mercury retrograde can be a time where you really, for some people can feel like a bit the universe is sort of saying slow down, take a break. Like if you it's a time where you could spin your wheels, if you're trying too hard to gain board momentum, and if you just sit and be still and do the inner work, I guess should say whatever that is in life and be prepared for more information to come in after September

sixteenth. So if you are working on a big project and you expect to be completely done by you know, early September, I would say, expect some delays. It's the time where where there's sort of unavoidably and invariably some delays that come up and you know, oops, and that meetings pushed off another few weeks. This is sort of the nature mercury retrogade. So so keep that in mind. Okay, what else do we have going on? All right? So so on August twenty seventh, Mars enters Libra. Mars

in the in astrology represents our real power. It represents where we're being asked to have courage in life, and so which is one of my favorite descriptors of Mars. You know, whoever Mars is, we're being asked to have courage there and in libra. Libra is about relationships, and it's about finding peace and harmony and balance in relationships. But with any sign or astrological energy,

there's healthy sides and less healthy sides. And if there was a librosis, librosis would be polite, dishonesty, you know, being nice, but but you know this nebrosis would be wanting to keep things okay, but really the things aren't okay. And so with Mars in libra and to avoid librostis sort of speak. It's about having the courage to to have those conversations or and to here to receive, to be a diplomat and find, you know, look at both sides of the issue. And so it's not a it's

not a selfish time. It's a it's a time to really really take in both sides of the issue, whatever that is, whether that's a relationship or at work or whatever it is, and really find the courage to to find those balances in your life. Given anything to add, well, I just highlight more than that. I think that with Mars in libra you can find both the courage and the diplomacy to be compassionate, see both sides, and to act in a way that is different if you're having a conversation or a

subject that you have struggled within the past. We all have certain relationships in our life that we struggle with walking the fine line of managing the dysfunctional aspect of that relationship, whether it's a child, a parent, a spouse, a boss, a friend, that there are dysfunctional aspects in every relationship.

They all have some. And I think that this is the time that you're invited to rush in and not work yourself up so it comes out like Linda Blair and the Exorcist when it comes out, but to really get quiet and try to see him from all sides, try to find a place of peace. Go in there with an idea that you will be open to what they say, and be opened that they may say something that gives you a piece of information that actually shifts the way you think or feel about something. And

I see this in couple's work all the time. When I'm working with a couple that's suddenly something comes to light and the other person in the couple's energy dissipates. They go, oh, I didn't know that, or I didn't realize that, or you never shared that, because now a piece has been dropped in, and so I just encourage people to take advantage of this combination to do that. So back to you, yeah, yeah, well said well said Okay, So August twenty eight we have Uranus going retrograde in Taurus,

and this Uranus remains retrograde for a while. It's it's through January twenty seventh. You know, as I mentioned earlier, retrogration retrograde planets, it's all about reworking that energy and it's an opportunity to sort of really correct direct the sales, sort of speak of the ship with relate with regards to that planet. And Uranus is about individuation. It's about I mentioned this earlier.

It's about like shedding the pressures of conformity from from wherever it's coming from, from friends, from peers, from family, from culture, from society. A healthy Uranus is someone that is individuated. It's a someone that has freedom in their life, but but not an endless, hopeless wanderer that has no anchor in life. It's someone that has a healthy amount of freedom, healthy amount of individuation and is not no longer subject to conformity for reasons that aren't

aligned with them. And so with Urinous going resciate, you know, the idea of freedom is there. Do you have enough freedom in your life Urinous and Taurus financial freedom, freedom to enjoy the the pleasures of life Taurus, the simplicity of life for us, the freedom who value system which is Taurus as well, And what and what changes do you need to make urin this retrograde with going your own speed in life? Are you grounding enough? Are

you steady enough? These are all tourists energies in Florence is also about simplifying life for the bare essentials, and so do you have the freedom to do that in your life? And what do you need to adjust to do? So? Maybe you're you're, you're you're overly for your your the rebels rebels rebel and in that case that's about bringing it again more back into equilibrium.

Do you have any thoughts about this record, Kevin? The one thing I'd like to add is this is a time to embrace that you are likely to surprise yourself. That part of that retrograde and Taurus is you may find that you're ready to release or faith the fact that something that came from your childhood, something that came because of your culture or how you were raised or whatever, that you have taken a hard, fast, inflexible view of yourself or

of the world, like what do you need to feel safe? Or what do you need to feel valued? Or even your ideas of what brings you, you know, comfort and joy. Those are all things that I think of in Uranus and retrograde. That you may be faced with a sit situation during this time period where you were sure you were going to hate something and you loved it and it completely threw you for a loop because it redefined some part of yourself that died a long time ago. But you never buried the

body. You just left it stuffed in a chair, like I always hate blah and for some reason you're forced to do blah and you go, my god, I loved it and it changes a sense of foundational self. Does that all make sense, Rob, No? I like that. I think you know the foundation Taurus, that you know, how is each of our foundations? I think that's a really big key topic there for sure, for sure. Yeah, So plan on surprising yourself and don't fight against it.

Go with the flow. Sometimes sometimes you need a some heavy range to you know, to refill what was once a dry river bed back to a flowing river. So some team may come back into your life that feeds you that you let go of a long time ago and help you get back to a truer you just as a possibility. Absolutely, no, I like that.

I like that. Yeah. So also, so August thirtieth, we have a full moon and Pisces, and this full moon is conjunct Staturn by about four degrees, so Saturn and the moon are junked on this full moon and Pisces. Bull moons are about completion. They're about a crossroads sort of speak of letting go of what needs to be let go of, particularly in Pisces. And so when I think Saturn moon and Pisces, you know, Pisces itself is about transcending, surrendering, going beyond self in a you know,

connecting with higher truth, surrendering something more powerful than oneself. And with Saturn in there, you know, it makes me think of the serenity prayer. How does that go? It's it's correct me the serenity to accept the things that I can. Now you've made me long. I know this because I give it out all the time. Accept the things I can, ye, go ahead, the courage to make the changes that I need to or something like that. And the wisdom to know the difference. You know, I'm

sure I slaughtered the second half of that, yep. But with this full moon and Pisces, I think it's really asking all of us, do you have the wisdom to know the difference between those two things? You know that, do you have the wisdom? You know? This is the time to practice the wisdom. What can you control and what not? And surrender with those things you cannot control, because of course you don't have to surrender,

but you're going to exhaust yourself. There's things in life that are completely and absolutely out of our control. In fact, many, if not most, things are absolutely totally out of our control. And with this full moon and Pisces conjunct Saturn, it's it's about the challenge of transcending this story, this sort of daily egoic story that we all get caught into. I'm this person, and this is my story, and this is what I do, and this blah blah blah. The stories can have can be rosy, they can

be foreigny, whatever the personal story is. But it's all Pisces is about. Hey, forget that story. That's that's not your true self. There's something far greater. You know, we're all a drop in the ocean of consciousness. We're all one consciousness. And and so a full moon in Pisces about surrendering do that larger truth? Do you have any thoughts about this? Again, I'm kind of speaking in wider from a wider lens here, but I wanted to do you. Yeah, do you have anything you want to

add? Well? I think that this conjunction of the full moon, and remember if you go back to the new moon and Pisces, which would have been back in March, and you look at what were the things that you put into play in that full moon, and they're likely to be from kind of growth or expansion or some kind of something that you're trying to transcend,

something that you're trying to step out of, some kind of limitation. And now with this conjunction, you're able to realize that if you can let go of the story, if you can let go of the I always call them the lies, the lies that you didn't know were lies that you were told about the world or yourself or how the world functions. No matter what the lies were, they were lies, but you didn't know they were lies. And with a Saturn conjunct a Pisces full moon, you can restructure your foundation

and transcend. It would be what I would say, agree, absolutely agreed. And you know, looking back to the corresponding new moon six months ago, that was on February twentieth, and so you know, if everyone were to think back to February twentieth thereabouts, there might have been the beginning of something new. And and this full moon coming up on August thirtieth is just like you said, it's it's it's the surrendering completion of this greater process.

So yeah, right, and you know, the final the final thing I wanted to mention was that on September third, Venus goes direct in Leo. So, once Venus goes direct, Venus has been retrograded over the past month or so. Once Venus goes direct, it's time to sort through the issues that came up over the past month regards to bringing mon joy and creativity relationships

into what you value. You know this is on a storm through that make the adjustments and really learn from this past month, ts of relationships, the anything you want to add that. Uh, you know, when Venus goes direct, especially in Leo, she's ready to rock, rumble and step out into the world. She's a hot mama looking for a good time. And that's our time on this month. Planetary Influence with Rob Stewart from Intercenter Astrology dot com. Rob, Thanks and I'll see you in a month. Thanks
