I’m Taylor Marsh and this is ASTRAL SOUL LIGHTNING. A podcast about finding meaning through symbols, and the mysterious, with focus on instincts, intuition, and synchronicity. Welcome.Eclipses spur evolution. We're on the ramp to a rare solar eclipse this week which happens during the second new moon in Aries, with Jupiter, and a square, to boot!Eclipses are fated events meant to shake us awake, or deliver a reckoning. We often don't like the experience, but the divine nature of the God force demands we level up.There are dates you need in your calendar as this week begins.Here’s the setup: This week on Twitter a hashtag #WhyAmISoTired trended. Tweet after tweet people were talking about being exhausted. One of the hallmarks of tectonic planetary shifts above is that the building energy with aspect and transit upon transit acts like a weight on humanity, collectively, and on people personally. The shattering news we’ve seen develop in the last ten days is part of this energy. People can feel the push of impactful energy about to break open into change-making moments. We are on the cusp of revolutionary shifts.We're in the eclipse portal, and days before the second Aries new moon, with Mercury "retrograde" (a good thing) coming in to tie the energy bow. New era shifts hit us personally, collectively, and is why retrograde happens: integration. Synchronicity has a starring role as the week starts.The leaking of sensitive military and national security secrets online is the epitome of the shadow side of Pluto in Aquarius.This is synchronicity, with the cosmic alignment and the event in question matching the archetype and mythological meaning of Pluto in Aquarius. The shock-waves this sent through the Dept. of Defense will resound for decades.Special Counsel Jack Smith continues to dig down AND expand his investigation through court rulings. Will there be a karmic comeuppance for Trump? Tune in.What about women's freedoms? Autocratic politicians continue to single out women and our right to be free.Some yahoo in the Missouri state senate thinks it's a great idea for 12 year-old girls to be married. There's so much to talk about and understand.

I’m Taylor Marsh and this is ASTRAL SOUL LIGHTNING. Welcome to a special Easter podcast, delivered early to subscribers on this holiday weekend.Here’s the set up… So, what is the psychic mind and what does it have to do with Jesus? Stick around and find out. If you’re a Christian, you likely haven’t heard this story. If you’re spiritual, this story will begin to fill in gaps that were missing, lies that were told, and the broader story of early Christians that was left out. This week’s podcast is spiritual, but it is also revolutionary.It’s Easter weekend for Christians. Lent ended this week for Catholics. Passover began. Ramadan continues. Holy weeks to millions of people around the world. From childhood, I’ve been on a private journey to understand the events around the early Christians, the religion which became the foundation of my life through my mother’s faith. Since childhood, I rejected the Church’s teachings that God was harsh and women were unworthy, that Mary Magdalene was a whore, and that Jesus was joyless and betrayed, and for money Judas turned on Jesus. I’ve been on a secret spiritual quest ever since.Lawmakers in Tennessee belong on a poster entitled “Fake Christians.” The Tennessee legislature expelled two Black legislators, while giving a pass to the White woman legislator who joined them in a gun protest after children and adults were slaughtered by guns. Fake Christians grabbing power through blatant racism.From Maryland’s attorney general this week, as they announce “a yearslong coverup of the sexual abuse of 600-plus children, some of whom were ‘preyed upon by multiple abusers over decades.’" From NBC News:https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/maryland-ag-documents-widespread-sexual-abuse-least-600-victims-baltim-rcna78378“Time and again, members of the Church’s hierarchy resolutely refused to acknowledge allegations of child sexual abuse for as long as possible," according to the report."When denial became impossible, Church leadership would remove abusers from the parish or school, sometimes with promises that they would have no further contact with children. Church documents reveal with disturbing clarity that the Archdiocese was more concerned with avoiding scandal and negative publicity than it was with protecting children."The 2,000-year-old mythology of Christianity was written by men in ancient times and became the tower from which religious men kept society in check and women in their place. One question haunted me. If people like me can experience the mysterious, how does this impact the story of Christ as written by early Christians trying to amass power for men while institutionalizing women’s inferior status?You may ask, why does it matter? Well, as a Christian, a lapsed Episcopalian to be specific, the experiences I’ve had challenged everything I’d learned about religion and faith through the church.The magic I explained a couple of podcasts ago applies triple to Jesus... ... ...COPYRIGHT 2023 TAYLOR MARSH ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDhttps://taylormarsh.com/https://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Marsh/e/B00MCEC3MA/ ****Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, parody, news reporting, research and scholarship, and teaching.****

I’m Taylor Marsh and this is ASTRAL SOUL LIGHTNING. A podcast about finding meaning through symbols, and the mysterious, with focus on instincts, intuition, and synchronicity. Welcome.Here’s the set up… Evolution depends on staring down our human shadow side and saying no, there’s a better way. When we don’t, our thoughts darken, and our body feels the whiplash, with a contagion outward into the world. The narcissist can’t afford to reflect.The sociopath isn’t concerned with the needs of others.The psychopath’s lust for the annihilation of enemies he sees everywhere exceeds the ability for him to control his actions and the means calculated to produce what he wants.The synchronicity playing out as Trump’s soap opera explodes into the open is unmistakable.The Trump indictment centers around the primal issue of what it means to be human. The battle between soul journey and ego will. The choice between evolution or evil.As the Libra full moon beacons this week, it’s a reminder of the crucial cog of our soul’s journey. Each of us is responsible for the trajectory of our choices and the repercussions of our cowardice in the face of ego’s tyrannical will in the hands of a human whose shadow side so large it has blighted out all light.Trump’s choices brought the reckoning that has begun.But what is the strength of District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case?No one knows yet, but we do know from news reports that the indictment has at least 30 counts, including at least one felony.This isn’t a conversation on the legal case against Trump. Even the disgraced, twice impeached ex-president deserves the presumption of innocence. He will get his days in court.Important to note that while Trump and his fans will attack the New York prosecutors in this case, they are not allowed to respond. Their documents and evidence will do the talking from now on.The shadow elements of Gemini sun, Leo rising, reveal the embrace of full darkness and shadow side, which is Trump’s foundation now... ...COPYRIGHT 2023 TAYLOR MARSH ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDhttps://taylormarsh.com/https://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Marsh/e/B00MCEC3MA/ ****Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, parody, news reporting, research and scholarship, and teaching.****

Welcome, I'm Taylor Marsh and this is Astral Soul Lightning.Here’s the setup… New 20-year era has arrived. Pluto exposes, so in Capricorn for 15 years, America’s toxic White supremacy couldn’t be hidden, with the American revolution the last time Pluto-Capricorn transit happened. Now in Aquarius, Pluto will reveal corruption in tech, the shadow side of technology and its dangers, as well as benefits. Aquarius favors humanitarian efforts, but it also exposes the evil inside manipulative organizations, and brings a reckoning for malefic forces and humans who wield dark power.Astronomy is science.Astrology is based on the seasons, and the astronomy, with theoretical analyses through mythological and archetypal characters and stories.Albert Einstein in 1950…“The theoretical idea does not arise apart from and independent of experience; nor can it be derived from experience by a purely logical procedure.” – Albert Einstein, IDEAS AND OPINIONS Pluto mythology brings Donald Trump’s date with fate. MSNBC's Joyce Vance, a former United States Attorney from Alabama, explains... ... ... There couldn’t be a more plutonian message than Trump gathering his White nationalist supporters at WACO, as he faces threats of indictment from several U.S. jurisdictions.On the high side, Aquarius archetype heralds a time of collective advancement for people. The mythology behind the Aquarius symbolism includes technological change and breakthroughs, with the shadow side being AI overreach through misinformation and “alternative facts” and silos.Out of Utah, a historic tech bill… From NBC News... ... The bill in Utah is Aquarian in nature. Other states are considering similar laws, with Congress also dealing with their version.The mythology of Pluto being involved signifies deep renovation and recognition of the damage being done by social media on kids’ and teens mental health.I call this synchronicity, the thing Carl Jung pointed to when the cosmic energy above aligns with events on Earth.On another front, Saturn moved into Pisces for two-and-one-half years which I warned would bring spiritual lessons and tests for Christians.From The Atlantic, a piece by Tim Alberta – who writes about the evangelical community – is a doozy this week...Eckhart Tolle is a famous mindfulness teacher. I appreciate the humor Tolle uses in his videos, teachings and writing, and respect how many thousands and thousands of people have tapped his wisdom.Being present is wonderful and God bless people like Eckhart Tolle for his brilliance, but it’s only half the human picture.The visions in your head are what you will attract in your life.COPYRIGHT 2023 TAYLOR MARSH ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDhttps://taylormarsh.com/https://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Marsh/e/B00MCEC3MA/****Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, parody, news reporting, research and scholarship, and teaching.****

We are in an evolutionary portal.Aries season is Western astrology’s New Year.Think Western astrology is “arbitrary” because it’s a fixed system unattached to the current Earth’s orbit?A fully realized human has components of every zodiac sign within them.Just don't start a conversation with me like this: “I’m a Cancer, with Scorpio rising, and Pisces moon, so I’m [fill in the blank]."I ignore astro babble.Astro babble is communication meant to describe a person using planets and their associated mythology to explain similarities of behavior, patterns, and moods between the human and the astrological signs.A person will say in astrological chats, “I’m a Virgo, with moon in Cancer, and rising sign a Capricorn,” as a way of describing themselves.For people in these discussions, it’s shorthand. When I hear it, my eyes glaze over.I’ve never had my chart read by an astrologer. It’s unimportant to me how a professional astrologer sees my cosmic tattoo (widely known as a birth chart). What I can glean from my birth chart is what matters most.Intuition and instinctual experience are required to utilize astrology, whether Western or any other type.If you don’t know your personal truth, astrology is worthless. The mind - body connection evolves into a mysterious conversation between instinct, and intuition played out through the mind of the sentient soul.Astrology characterizes our journey at a particular moment of time, but it’s our instincts, and intuition that discern what fits.COPYRIGHT 2023 TAYLOR MARSH ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDhttps://taylormarsh.com/https://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Marsh/e/B00MCEC3MA/ ****Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, parody, news reporting, research and scholarship, and teaching.****

Here’s the set up… Magic is real.

I’m a creative master raised in the Christian religion who found my way to magic through traditional means and I have zero association with the occult world.

The type of magic I’m talking about belongs to average humans of all types, few of whom have any knowledge or interest in the occult.

I’m fascinated by the physics of the metaphysical, and grateful for science which saves lives and gives humanity a foundation for reality, but scientific findings represent a tiny fraction of the human experience.

This podcast is a conversation about making meaning, manifestation, and energies we navigate. A philosophical life hack for the Aquarian Age.

When we watch Everything Everywhere All at Once or Tar or Women Talking, we witness magic through film from the outside. This magic is manipulated by the creators for the audiences’ experience.

What I’m talking about is organic human magic...

Millions of viewers have witnessed the reality of Tyler Henry’s clairvoyant mediumship, now on Netflix.

Theresa Caputo proved her psychic mediumship on The Learning Channel through live reality programming that brought people to her so she could channel beloved relatives who passed away.

The meaning of life won’t be discovered in a scientific lab alone.

We each cull from daily experience our own meaning.

It is a voyage into the mind and how it works to create our daily experiences through what we find meaningful which is different for each of us.

When we hear about the miracles at Lourdes through intentional magic, or see an actor, singer, football, or baseball player point upward or kiss a cross using sympathetic magic, most faith-based onlookers see no problem with the gesture because the assumption is the person is thanking God.

My question to these people is, do you actually believe God – however you define God – is involved in, wants you, specifically, to win an award, score a touchdown, or hit a triple?

These acts illustrate humanity’s number one prejudice: That God is directly involved in each of our personal requests.

This universal religious theory has stymied me since childhood.

We have entered an evolutionary portal... ...

There is much in the human experience that is unprovable today...

Our purpose takes a lifetime to discover and fulfill. In this journey, there will be magic...

Hello. I’m Taylor Marsh and this is ASTRAL SOUL LIGHTNING.

March 7th begins the first seismic cosmic turn that leads to the richest moments of 2023, as Saturn moves out of Aquarius and into Pisces.

At the same time, Pluto makes its final push before moving into the constellation of Aquarius, foreshadowing the next 20 years between March 23 and June 11th, before moving back into Capricorn.

These tectonic mythological archetypes offer understanding of the moment humans are experiencing.

Whatever you’ve done since 2008, all the changes and transmutations, are reaching the climax.

The era we're approaching supports we the people movements. But there are two ways this can go.

What happens if you did the work and are standing with a wide horizon in front and a future that beckons and excites you? Saturn delivers rewards as the shift into a new constellation begins.

For some, karma takes a bite.

Since 2015, Fox has morphed into a promoter of lies, and the network promoting the “rigged election” and “stolen” election lies.

“At one point, Murdoch explained the decision to let Lindell run ads for his company, MyPillow, as a strictly financial—rather than political—move, saying: ‘It is not red or blue, it is green,’ according to Monday’s court filing.” - FORBES

What good is fame, fortune, and power if it melts away and leaves a person disgraced?

2023 is the mother-lode of evolutionary inflection points in which March plays a seminal role.

See what's happening in Mexico...and looks what's happening in Israel....

If you don’t have a birth chart – or aren’t interested in a birth chart – concentrate on the astrological house that Saturn governs. The tenth house is governed by Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, and concerns destiny, and career.

There's a better way to navigate life.

Join me as I guide you into the Age of Aquarius.

Taylor Marsh brings receipts in this episode of ASTRAL SOUL LIGHTNING.

A podcast about making meaning, manifestation, and energies we navigate. A philosophical life hack for the Aquarian Age. Taylor's expertise? The shadow side of human beings. Translating humanity’s complex guidance systems. Standing at the leading edge of the religious and spiritual reformation.

The archetypal mythology for the many weeks ahead is buzzing with foreshadowing of change.

Planets and constellations, 1-degree new moons coupled with 29-degree endings amid tectonic shifts in orbits, full moons, a new era ahead that conjures memories of the French Revolution, and the ratification of the US Constitution. Symbolic possibilities to consider and visualize in hopes of understanding the journey we are on personally and collectively.

The duality of Pisces, light and dark, is taken to extremes through Catholic Lent season which began this week with Ash Wednesday. Highlighted by prayer, confession, and voluntary self-punishment known as penance.

Practicing Christians prepare for Easter season...

The New York Times’ Ross Douthat wrote the following in “American Teens are Really Miserable. Why?” Douthat’s emphasis on a “certain kind of social liberalism,” prepares the audience for gaslighting.

Religious conservatives fight against individual independence and personal choice at every opportunity.

Liberals don’t think your personal life is the government’s business, whether federal or state.

Conservatives – especially religious extremists – want to control our lives.

How’d we get here?

Institutional Christianity was exposed over many years and this revelatory exposure continued, as we experienced what’s happened in the last years. (Taylor brings receipts.)

Dissenters like Russell Moore... and "the most prominent evangelical female Bible teacher in history," are among the few who spoke out early.

The Episcopal church has maintained liberal notions about human independence and freedom, with Pope Francis a tower amid a disgraced church. No doubt there are churches who kept the faith of meaning and mission.

Organized religion has defied evolution for decades, even as the sexual deviancy proved their leaders couldn’t live up to their dogma. They can't escape it as the Aquarian age revs up.

The spiritual reformation we’ve entered demands new solutions that are found from the inside out, instead of the top-down patriarchal way of institutional religion. (See “Woodstock” for Christians in Kentucky via New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/23/us/kentucky-revival-asbury-university.html)

During fated events, how we REACT to influences impacting our life reveals how prepared we are for change which is the centerpiece of evolution.

Taylor offers a personal note on Ukraine at the end you won't want to miss.

#FAIRUSE

TRANSCRIPT CORRECTION: TM mistakenly says “1920s to the early 2000s,” which should have been "From the 1990s to the early 2000s..."

I’m Taylor Marsh and this is ASTRAL SOUL LIGHTNING. A podcast about making meaning, manifestation, and energies we navigate. My expertise? The shadow side of human beings.

Welcome to cosmic boot camp.

A philosophical life hack for the Aquarian Age.

Our freedoms hinge on evolution, democracy and truth.

Preparation for what’s to come in which all of us will play seminal roles. Light versus What No Longer Serves humanity and our lives. Your life matters to the tectonic evolutionary transit coming later in March.

The ramp to the future begins now in the sign of Pisces, as we leave behind what no longer serves. Pisces season begins as we feel into the New Moon on February 19th.

On March 23rd, the Piscean era ends and the Aquarian Age begins.

Life is madness through experience unless we work through the maze. Every choice matters and is the only ballast to the powerful forces of Fate.

What's on tap this episode?

• Pisces New Moon: Neptune, Jupiter, and the coming Saturn transit.

• So long Piscean era, on the ramp to the Aquarian Age.

• Truth.

• Evolution.

Shadow Side: Fox News, Stormy and Donald, Ghislaine, and the Murdaugh Trial

BY TAYLOR MARSH

COPYRIGHT 2023 TAYLOR MARSH ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Welcome. I’m Taylor Marsh and this is ASTRAL SOUL LIGHTNING. A podcast about making meaning, manifestation, and energies we navigate. How we create through archetypes, symbols, spirituality, and our instincts and intuition. A philosophical life hack for the Aquarian Age.

My expertise? The shadow side of human beings. And energies like law of attraction at the intersection of culture, spirituality, and politics. We challenge traditional thinking on creativity, culture, and spirituality.

America is in the throes of purging its shadow side.

Insurrectionist Proud Boys revealed their shadow side via text: “We are bigger than Jesus” … The insurrectionists called him, “Daddy Trump.” Now they’re in prison.

Fox News and their cult dig in, even as the April 2023 defamation trial brought by Dominion voting machines looms. On-air lies about the 2022 election being stolen through Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and others, are being exposed. Under oath, Sean Hannity testified, "I did not believe it for one second." (https://www.npr.org/2022/12/22/1144926308/fox-news-sean-hannity-dominion-lawsuit-trump)

Fox News and their cult feed off lies to keep the shadow side strong.

A quote…

“Gods are metaphors of archetypal behaviors and myths are archetypal enactments.” – Carl Jung

Look around at the lives of public people. The truth is a person’s shadow side is often ignored throughout a lifetime. What I’ve uncovered, witnessed, and chronicled is what happens when the shadow elements of our persona lie hidden in the dark, only to be seen in fits of manipulation, hedonism, depravity, perversion, acting out, self-destruction, passive-aggressiveness, self-righteousness, violence, including nihilism and suicide.

I’ve traversed the darkness of shadow side behavior for a long time. The subject infuses my thrillers. The research I’ve done spans decades and goes into subjects that gave me nightmares and brought trauma back in bright colors to make peace, process events, and share what I’ve learned the hard way.

Shadow side unleashed through authority has become a runaway train.

The shadow side of authority has extinguished America’s moral imperative.

Pluto’s back and forth in Capricorn will grow increasingly intense at points where Aquarius enters the picture...

... This doesn’t mean scallywags, psychopaths and sociopaths will drop the shadow side public reflection for humility and truth, which is the only antidote.

What it does mean is that the klieg lights of fate will shine a harsh spotlight on people whose actions don’t comport with the EVOLUTION required for the times.
