Experience Talk Cosmos on Sunday April 19 at 1:00 PM PDT! Host Sue Rose Minahan and guest Jen Sachs, a Seattle astrologer, team up to deliver insights on a dramatic conjunction, “Mars Saturn Aries Leadership”.

Mars Meets Saturn: Mars and Saturn line up from earth’s view exactly at 7°51’ Aries on April 19 at 6:17:46 p.m. EDT (3:18 p.m. PDT). Visible in Europe where it’ll be near or after Midnight depending on the location. However, all ‘feel’ the need to ground actions since Mars entered Aries Apr 10 and this happens for four days April 18-21.

Aries Stellium Focus: Because Mars in Aries transits over nine days to connect with each of the big Aries stellium planets: April 12 Neptune 2°; Apr 15 Moon 4°, April 18-19 Saturn Mercury 7°. The three remain in 1 degree orb through April 21. Only the Sun moves on to Taurus the next day on the 20th.

Navigating Emotional Bonds: But focusing on applying motivated actions for Neptunian leadership visions, or cutting emotional bonds blocking leadership, needs the leveling consciousness of Saturn and Mars hard efforts to pull through whatever requires adjustments. Thankfully Mercury navigates instinctually through our deepest hidden motives, our feared loss of attachments, to objectify values, building a reinvented sense of personal leadership.

Mercury Guides Reinvention: Yes, it’s a long-term juggle because this involves clear thinking to allow what is leaving, possibly on its own accord, to be released. But emotional connections when forced to adjust take time to refocus. The key often involves a willingness to allow processing as we experience adjustments with our contractual relationships. Because new ideas become supported by unfolding values liberating what might be stuck to reinventing a new consciousness of engaged leadership.

Episode 362 | Richard Gage on the parallels between 9/11 and Covid, Part 1 of 3

AIA architect Richard Gage joins Informed Life Radio to explore many disturbing similarities between 9/11 and Covid. Drawing on his decades of research into 9/11 and its aftermath, Gage demonstrates that both events reveal a recognizable pattern of psychological conditioning, institutional deception, and the rapid expansion of public compliance under pressure.

Stacy starts the show more subdued than usual having just been to therapy before recording where she explored being “too much.” Don’t worry, her self-awareness quickly goes out the window. Now that her house in Washington has closed, she and her husband continue to explore their new environs like HEB (B for Butt!?). Talk of the two-step devolves into a conversation about quirky songs like the Casper Slide, Scatman, Cotton-Eyed Joe and Crazy Frog. Eric is brack at making tea brack, but cherries are too expensive in this economy! As for Cultural Blindspots, Stacy finished watching Song Sung Blue which was in fact very blue. She also saw Project Hail Mary which was NOT rocky at all! Eric watched Is This Thing On? which is a newer movie directed by Bradley Cooper. For a movie based on being a standup comic, it wasn’t very funny. He also started rewatching Malcolm in the Middle since the reboot is out soon and found it to be very funny. As for the perfect sundae, Eric argues it’s in a waffle cone with no toppings and Stacy loves the Almond Joy Sundae from COHO, an old Issaquah fave. They were split on banana splits.

In this episode of *Meandering Musings*, Neil Peterson reflects on an unexpected first at age 82: walking into a pawn shop for the very first time. What begins as a simple attempt to sell decades‑old camcorders becomes a thoughtful exploration of assumptions, economics, and everyday human stories. Neil shares how his long‑held mental image of pawn shops—shady, cluttered, and marginal—was completely overturned by the bright, professional, and surprisingly sophisticated reality he encountered at Rocky’s Pawn Shop in Indio, California. Along the way, he uncovers the quiet role pawn shops play in the financial ecosystem, particularly for small business owners using gold and silver as short‑term collateral, and reflects on the deep personal histories behind every item in the display cases. The experience becomes a gentle reminder that the world often looks very different once you step inside—and that even in your eighties, there are still firsts worth having.

Sometimes I challenge myself to write for 30 days in a row, without fail. By doing so, I become more aware of my values and how I want to use my words in articles pieces of writing. For example, I've noticed some people value connection while other people value and nurture their self image. I personally enjoy the Enneagram as a tool, which I speak about in this show.

Today, Loretta welcomes Beatty Carmichael who is a peace and alignment expert whose work focuses on helping people reduce internal pressure by identifying and releasing unseen friction that disrupts mental, emotional, and physical well-being. With over a decade of experience and more than 1,000 documented breakthroughs involving anxiety, emotional distress, and chronic pain, Beatty has discovered a powerful pattern: many people are not failing at self-improvement—they are simply trying to solve the wrong problem.

Rather than teaching stress management or effort-based strategies, Beatty offers a practical, non-religious framework that addresses the root cause of inner tension—internal misalignment. When this misalignment is resolved, peace naturally returns without force, discipline, or ongoing struggle.

Coming from seven generations of medical doctors, Beatty brings a grounded, observational, and results-oriented approach to his work. His teachings challenge the assumption that peace must be achieved, instead revealing it as something that re-emerges when internal conflict is released.

He is the author of The Prayer of Freedom and his newest book, Outrageous Peace (2026), and has appeared in over 100 media interviews worldwide.
