For starters: the cover-art for this week's episode is by Stefanie Caponi. If you aren't familiar with her artwork and tarot deck please check her out. I forgot to announce this at the beginning of the episode, so please send her love and go follow her!

For this week's episode: In light of the recent suicide of Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade, and feeling moved by more people opening up talking about their depression, I felt inspired to add to the conversation.

And so, we first start off talking about the Grand Trine we will be experiencing this Cancer Season between Sun in Cancer, Jupiter in Scorpio, and Neptune in Pisces. And how this is a wonderful invitation to deepen our connection to ourself and spirit, but also how this energy could make us feel a bit more depressed or tend towards escapism at this time.

We also go deep in on depression. Viewing it through the lens of the chakra system and how it may manifests through the different zodiacal signs of astrology.  And we have 13 special guests on the show today. One person for each astrological sign, and a representative for saturn return. And they will talk briefly about their experience with depression and what they have done to move through it.

We then honor the life of Anthony Bourdain, who’s birthday is this week. He is a cancer sun, with a sagittarius north node and he traveled the world building bridges with other cultures through food, but he also struggled with profound loneliness and depression. 

And then we also sit down and go deep into the waters of Cancer with my soul-sister Katie Watkins (@atltopdx). In our conversation, we cover many deep topics around depression and Cancer.

Oh and i announce the 16 new queens for the "Queen of Cancer!"  

Namaste Cosmic Cousins!
