Clairannoyance

November 2024 meets us as we’re knee deep in Scorpio season. Scorpio asks us to acknowledge what we’d often rather ignore — the shadows, the secrets, the truths hidden beneath layers of ego and comfort. This month is a crucible, where transformation isn’t a flash of sudden insight, but a process — one that requires us to sit, to unravel, to burn, and to refine before we emerge as a renewed version of ourselves. There’s a sense of “To Be Continued…” lingering in the air. We’re in the midst of a cliffhanger.

Scorpio, the sign of transformation and emotional depth, reminds us that “becoming” is not a destination but an ongoing state. It’s uncomfortable and confrontational. We’re not who we once were, and we’re not sure of who we’re changing into either.

Scorpio’s role in the zodiac is essential. It’s a sign that refuses to let us stay on the surface of Libra’s superficial harmony, and it also won’t allow us to catapult into Sagittarius’s carefree way of living either. Not unless we’ve gotten raw and real with ourselves first. In Scorpio’s domain, we are reminded that there’s no skipping over the hard parts. We have to go through them. We have to sit in the discomfort, not as punishment, but as preparation.

The sense of “becoming” is not a linear path. It’s a spiral that winds through the shadows. But in time, the shadows give way to something new — something truer, something stronger, and something only you can become.

What if digital actions like copying text or selecting emojis carry an unseen weight — a subtle energy that lingers in the virtual world? In this episode, we explore technomancy — the intersection of technology and mysticism — and the ways it's creating a "digital empathy" of sorts. Like it or not, our digital lives are seeping into our emotional experiences in the real world. From the strange “weight” of holding copied text before you paste it, to a psychic who reads people’s recently used emojis like tarot cards, we look into the modern mysteries of the digital realm. 

Are we subconsciously developing new forms of animism for our devices, sensing energy where there is none? Or, could this be the next frontier in spiritual evolution?

On the heels of another dynamic eclipse season — marked by a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aries on September 17 and a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2 — we’re pausing to reflect on how these cosmic influences are showing up in both real-world events and our everyday lives.

This was the final eclipse season of the Aries/Libra cycle, which kicked off in July 2023 and will wind down by January 11, 2025.  At that point, the North Node will transition from Aries to Pisces and the South Node will shift from Libra to Virgo. Once the new eclipse cycle begins, fate will take us in a different direction until July 2026. But that's a conversation for another day (and another episode). For now, let's commemorate the tail end of the Aries/Libra cycle. 

Some of the topics we explore in today’s episode include:

• The simultaneous decline in both divorce and marriage rates
• Gen Z’s surprising commitment to monogamy, more so than Millennials and Gen X
• Why more people admit to having friends, but not spending much time with them
• The joy of reconnecting with old friends — and the strange reasons we avoid it, despite wanting to
• The importance of discernment when we're touch-starved, and why hugs may not be as simple as they seem (hint: other people's moods can be contagious)
• How masculine and feminine energies express themselves, and how gender does — and doesn't — come into play
• Eclipses are often a time of downfall or death for public figures, and this season was no different, as exemplified by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ recent charges of sex trafficking and racketeering
• The looming question of whether an “October Surprise” will disrupt the U.S. presidential election… or if we've reached a point where it's simply impossible to be surprised by politics anymore

October's astrology focuses on the fine line between standing your ground and recognizing when it’s time to negotiate. This month invites us to reflect on what we are willing to hold on to, even in the face of adversity, and when it might be wiser to compromise for the sake of balance and harmony. The pros and cons of standing firm — clarity and conviction versus stubbornness and isolation — will be at the forefront of our experiences throughout the month. Will you defend your hill to the end, or can you let go when the cost becomes too great?

Themes and transits discussed in this episode include:

• Why are we on a hill this month?
• Libra's crucial role as the sign between Virgo and Scorpio
• New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra (Oct. 2)
• Full Moon in Aries (Oct. 17)
• Mercury enters Scorpio (Oct. 13)
• Venus enters Sagittarius (Oct. 17)
• Sun enters Scorpio (Sept. 22)
• Mars Pre-Retrograde Shadow Begins (Oct. 4)
• Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini Begins (Oct. 9)
• Pluto Retrograde Ends in Capricorn (Oct. 11)
• Mercury follows the story of The Labyrinth this month
• Venus follows the story of Cinderella this month
• Extra Days of Caution (Oct. 13, 14, and 22)
• Extra Days of Opportunity (Oct. 12, 24, and 28)

So... what do 5G microwaves, a clothing line made of tin foil, and a bunch of confiscated dildos have in common? Is this even a spiritual podcast anymore?  Wtf am I listening to?

We're back on our bullshit. In this Serendipity Session, we dive headfirst into the absurd, the spiritual, and the conspiratorial. Eyebrows will be raised, but we don't give a fuck. We cover everything from M.I.A.'s new anti-5G fashion line (because, apparently, 5G protection is high fashion now), to P. Diddy's arrest and the authorities' peculiar discovery of his, um, adult extracurricular props. But wait, there's more! Along the way, we talk about the dangers of TikTok baby witches casting spells like it's a high school chemistry experiment, and we go off on white girls who jump into spirituality with no shame about colonizing closed spiritual practices from other cultures. 

We discuss the philosophical Ship of Theseus (because, duh, you need to learn something esoteric in every episode). And we also explore the weird dynamics that arise when spiritual readers try to read for other spiritual readers (spoiler alert: it doesn't always go well). 

If you're in the mood for some Clairannoyance chaos mixed with on-the-spot spiritual insights, you've landed on the right episode. If you're looking for something else... then go listen to our 60 other episodes. 

Also, go rate us 5 stars. THANK YOU LOVE YOU!

About The Serendipity Sessions:
We began The Serendipity Sessions as a series in the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode touches on topics related to suicide. If you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts or feeling overwhelmed, support is available. Call or text 988 — it’s a free, confidential help line available 24/7. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and we want you to be here. You matter.

By nature, humans are drawn to the edge of existence. We hear that unsettling whisper, beckoning us toward danger, and we feel tempted to tip-toe toward it. "The Call of the Void" is a strange and primal phenomenon — thoughts of self-destruction that pop in our minds seemingly out of nowhere — from the urge to jump off a great height or the sudden desire to swerve into oncoming traffic. It's ominous. But it's not as scary as you might think. 

Here’s the paradox: The Call of the Void is not about wanting to die; it's about appreciating what it means to feel alive. These thoughts are a reminder of the pulse of life. It's a way we feel our mortality and sharpen our existence.

In this episode, we walk the fine line between intuition and impulse to discover how risk-taking behaviors can be a gateway to spiritual transformation. Risky endeavors can lead us to a "flow state" where we deepen our connection to the universe, leading to peak experiences and even mystical revelations. Are we wired to crave risk as part of our spiritual journey? And what happens when we ignore that inner voice — when we let fear and self-doubt stagnate our potential? We learn from these moments on the edge, when chaos gives way to creation. 

You are here for a reason, and sometimes, following that gut instinct — even if it feels a little risky — is exactly how you’ll feel closer to your purpose. The universe has a collective field of ideas, and if you don’t act on that pull toward something extraordinary, someone else will. When the Call of the Void rings, will you take time to listen a little deeper? Or will you be left wondering what could have been?

*****************************************

Questions / Journal Prompts / Meditations:

• What’s your flow state?
• When do you find yourself feeling captivated by other people who are in their own flow state or engaging in behaviors you might think are risky? How does watching them make you feel? Why do you think you’re captivated by them? 
• What do you want the most in life, and what risks might you need to take to achieve those goals? 
• If you don’t know you want, ask yourself what you’re afraid of and explore those fears. Chances are, if you get honest about what scares you, you’ll be led to revelations about what you want the most.

We're the architects of a future we'll never inhabit. In the face of today's global challenges, we must consider how our actions set the stage for those who will inherit the Earth after us. Are we obligated to act now for people we’ll never meet? Do future generations even have rights? 

In today's episode, we discuss the spiritual implications of "now vs. later" — how short-term desires clash with long-term responsibilities. From environmental conservation to preserving cultural and moral values, we explore what it really means to leave behind a legacy. Does spirituality demand that we leave footprints in the sand, or seeds in the soil for a forest we’ll never see? 

Throughout history, certain societies have embraced long-term thinking, while others have been crumbled by short-term gains. From Indigenous practices of sustainability to modern roles like the Future Generations Commissioner of Wales, long-term stewardship has always been a guiding principle. But it’s becoming rarer in today’s fast-paced world — just look at the instant gratification of consumerism or political leaders who make decisions solely based on election cycles. What is the price of constantly living for the present, and how does it stunt our collective growth? Can we design systems and cultures that help us rise above short-term thinking, even in the face of an immediate crisis?

Even beliefs like reincarnation, which promise a second chance, can lead us to focus on personal ‘good karma’ rather than the welfare of future generations. What does it truly mean to be a "good ancestor" when we’re preoccupied with our own spiritual returns? We also cover some common spiritual practices, like meditation and manifestation, explaining which ones foster a mindset of sustainability and which may unintentionally encourage short-term thinking. 

Stewarding the future carries a heavy weight, both spiritually and emotionally. But the truth is that you are both an echo of the past and a whisper for the future. What kind of sound will your life make?

As we journey through Virgo season and prepare to enter Libra season this September, we find ourselves in a space of discernment and refinement. The universe invites us to listen for the calls that echo through our lives this month, so we can learn to respond with clarity, purpose, and virtue. Before diving into the month's major astrology transits, we begin with a deep dive of the Virgo zodiac sign and archetype. We discover why Virgo wants us to master the art of separation and purification. Drawing inspiration from the myth of Echo and Narcissus, we examine what happens when calls go unanswered or are met with misunderstanding, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and self-refinement before engaging with the world. Through this lens, we explore Virgo’s role as the cosmic mediator between the self-focused energy of Leo and the relational focus of Libra. Understanding Virgo is a crucial step in our personal and spiritual evolution.

Each celestial event this months presents a unique "calling" — a cosmic invitation we're meant to "respond" to with discernment, adaptability, and insight. Important questions, or callings, are being asked of you: What can you purify in your life? How can you prepare yourself to respond to the calls that matter most? And how do you know the difference between the noise of the world and the true calling of your soul?

Themes and transits discussed in this episode include:

• The symbolism of "call and response" as an overall theme for the month
• Virgo's crucial role as the sign between Leo and Libra
• Virgo as the Maiden and the Bird
• The myth of Echo & Narcissus
• The New Moon in Virgo (Sept. 2)
• The Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (Sept. 17)
• Mars enters Cancer (Sept. 4)
• Mercury enters Virgo (Sept. 8)
• Sun enters Libra - Fall Equinox (Sept. 22)
• Venus enters Scorpio (Sept. 22)
• Mercury enters Libra (Sept. 26)
• Uranus turns Retrograde and Pluto Retrograde re-enters Capricorn (Sept. 1)
• Mercury follows the Sun's footsteps all month long
• Mercury Cazimi in Libra (Sept. 30)
• Extra Days of Caution (Sept. 15 and 22)
• Extra Days of Opportunity (Sept. 3, 11, 14, and 29)
