Clairannoyance

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)

Grab your cosmic passport and join us as we finally travel the galaxy in search of the truth about Starseeds. TRIGGER WARNING: This may be a provocative or controversial episode if you identify as a Starseed (in which case, this episode is probably even more important for you to listen to). 

Starseeds are a subculture within the new age spirituality community. They believe they are extraterrestrial souls incarnated on Earth to elevate humanity to a higher state of consciousness. They come from various galaxies and star systems far, far away. It sounds like science fiction. And actually... it kind of is. You'll see what we mean. 

It's also fueled by more sobering ideologies like white supremacy, eugenics, and capitalism. Researching these darker parallels, it becomes clear that starseeds are (most likely) not from some distant galaxy. Instead, they're found at the intersection of cosmic elitism and earthly prejudices. 

Despite our skepticism, we eventually stretch our understanding to consider the possibilities that starseed narratives offer. We reflect on why such beliefs resonate deeply with those who feel disenfranchised by the conventional world. We acknowledge the psychological comfort these narratives provide, and the sense of control and purpose they offer in our often chaotic human existence. 

Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or simply curious, there's something here for you. And we're not done. In a future Part 2 episode, we'll dive even further into this subject -- and we invite anyone who identifies as a starseed to speak with us for that episode! If that's you, please reach out. We'd love to chat and promise to keep an open mind and a comfortable atmosphere for you to share your perspective with us.

Astrologers are ringing the alarms for August, but we're here to give you a more grounded look at the cosmic landscape. We're learning this month that your ability to love and commit to anything - a person, a hobby, a job, a pet, anything! - is worth the pain and imperfections. The joy you derive from the things you love and commit to, despite their flaws, is essential for your growth and resilience.

This is an important month to seek clarity in the actions and intentions of others. If you practice empathy, you can better understand why others act the way they do, which can help you find healthy ways of loving them through both "better" and "worse" scenarios. Even if something you love must come to an "end" this month, that doesn't mean you failed to love it "for better or for worse." What matters is having the experience of loving something that much at all. Once you do, it becomes an unchangeable part of your reality. It transcends all timelines. It will have always existed, and will always exist. 

Preview of Topics in this Episode:

• Brief discussion about last month’s astrology forecast
• Deep dive into the theme for August: “For Better, For Worse”
• A beautiful New Moon in Leo
• A tense Full Moon in Aquarius
• Your every-August reminder that “8/8 Lionsgate” is new age spirituality BS
• 5 planetary sign changes
• A deep dive into the asteroid Juno moving through Libra
• Mercury retrograde in Virgo and Leo
• The Mid-Month Mess! (Aug. 14 - 19 especially)
• Why August 19 is the worst day of the month
• Jupiter in Gemini is battling with Saturn Retrograde in Pisces (the biggest transit of the month!)
• Dates correlating to relationship struggles and relationship breakthroughs
• Dates for positive personal development

***TRIGGER WARNING: Politics Ahead!

This is not a typical “spiritual” episode — but actually, it is!

Part of a healthy spiritual practice is paying attention to what’s happening in the world and allowing yourself to feel however you might feel about what you witness. If you’re not paying attention, you’re not participating in life. And if you’re not participating, you’re disassociating. And that just makes no sense, because you’re here for a reason. It’s not always easy, but your participation in this grand human experiment matters. We’re conscious beings on a giant rock flying 67,000 miles per hour through the vacuum of space. If you don’t participate and give that some meaning, then the “powers that be” will make it mean something for you… and you may not enjoy what “they” turn your human experience into.

ALSO! Someone decided to leave us an anonymous negative review and attempted to belittle Ryan (on Apple Podcasts). We rant about this for a bit, but it also sparked a conversation about the importance of learning how to have discourse with people who think differently than us. It’s a fact: not everyone will share your point of view. But how you interact with people from “the other side” reflects and defines your character, not theirs.

That said… we have 2 small favors:

1. Send a positive thought to the person who chose to leave us a crappy review. They woke up that day and decided it was a productive use of their time to harden someone else’s heart. We hope the universe shows them the compassion and open-mindedness they were unable to offer on their own.
2. Please consider leaving us a 5-star review (on Apple Podcasts or Spotify especially). Your support and positivity means the world to us!

***EPISODE NOTE: We recorded this episode in the wake of Donald Trump’s assassination attempt and just days before Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race. Our discussion is based on information available at that time, so please excuse anything that may not be factual at the time you’re listening to this. Nonetheless, this episode is a fascinating snapshot of a major moment in American history. The news cycle changes rapidly these days, so to a lot has changed between the time we recorded this and published it, but we’re so glad we were able to document this conversation and capture how we felt during this pivotal time.

Love you all!

We're back! And this episode feels very prescient. We recorded this in June, but life has been crazy and we haven't had a chance to edit and post it until now. We apologize for the delay, but the episode definitely has some interesting information foreshadowing some of the current events we've experienced in July. As everyone now knows, an assassination attempt was made on former President Trump on July 13. While we didn't go too deep into politics in this episode, we discussed it a bit and you'll likely hear the related themes. Outside of current events, this month has a deeply personal feeling and everyone will experience July in a wholly unique way. Which island of the archipelago are you on? 

For the first 39 minutes, we discuss the overarching feeling of the month. Then we cover all the notable astrology transits - and there are quite a lot! 

Preview of what we cover in this episode:

• July is an archipelago of self-discovery, a fractal, and an aleph
• The journey from Cancer to Leo
• New Moon in Cancer and Full Moon in Capricorn
• 5 dates where planets change signs
• 4 retrogrades to know about
• A LOT of (primarily good!) transits on July 2 and July 21
• Three tense Pluto oppositions on July 3, July 12, and July 22
• 5 dates where the Nodes of Fate are activated
• A whole slew of honorable mention dates with various transits and energies to expect
