I have a lively conversation about the stoic path with my guest, Benny Voncken. Today, you will learn how an old philosophy can be successfully applied to modern life.

Key Points

• Stoicism is a pragmatic, Western philosophy that shares similarities with Eastern philosophies like Buddhism and Taoism.
• The core of Stoicism is about self-awareness, understanding one's emotions, and using reason to make virtuous decisions. [14:26]
• Stoicism emphasizes the importance of accepting fate, focusing on what is within one's control, and living in the present moment. [08:06]

Insights from this conversation:

1. Stoicism is a practical philosophy that can help people live better lives in the modern world. [05:25]

   2. The core of Stoicism is about self-awareness, understanding emotions, and using reason to make virtuous decisions. [14:26]

  3. Stoicism emphasizes the importance of accepting fate, focusing on what is within one's control, and living in the present moment. [08:06]

Stoicism is relevant to out modern life, and upon closer examination, a person can see how much of what is being talked about in the 21st century is a reiteration of many of these perennial principles.

Julia Marie welcomes back vibrational astrologer Michael Spremulli to Evolving Humans. He brings the Cosmic Weather Report for October 2025.

Vibrational astrologer Michael provided a detailed astrological forecast for October 2025. 

He focused on the major event of Pluto stationing direct in Aquarius on October 13th, predicting it would release collective tension and initiate forward movement after a period of stagnation. 

He also detailed the energies of the Aries Full Moon on October 6th, which centered on authenticity and release, and the Libra New Moon on October 21st, which focused on balance and partnerships. 

Michael concluded by outlining three significant astrological "vibrations" that would be active during the month, influencing creativity, discovery, and relationships.

Key Points

• Pluto Stationing Direct: The most significant event discussed was Pluto ending its retrograde period on October 13th. Michael explained this would act like a "pressure valve" being released, ending a period of collective stagnation and initiating forward movement, although this initial shift could be disruptive.
• Aries Full Moon: On October 6th, a Full Moon in Aries was set to occur. This energy was described as promoting authenticity, bold self-expression, and the release of patterns like passivity or codependency.
• Libra New Moon: On October 21st, a New Moon in Libra would encourage setting intentions related to balance, partnerships, love, and justice. It was presented as a time to initiate or renew relationships and focus on clear communication.
• The 6th Vibration: Active for the entire month, this vibration was said to foster free-flowing, creative, and inspirational energy when working with others on visionary projects.
• The 95th Vibration: An experimental vibration active from October 21st to 28th, it was hypothesized to be a time for fun discovery, recognizing hidden patterns, and inspiring others.
• The 3rd Vibration: Active from October 12th to 17th, this vibration involving Venus, Uranus, and Pluto was predicted to bring intense, sudden, and powerful energy to relationships, with a caution against making impulsive long-term commitments.
