The Daily Whatever Show

Today’s top stories:

The daily woo:

* The Moon was new yesterday at 2:02 a.m. ET, so we’re one day into a fresh cycle. She was at 3° Sagittarius when we went live this morning, and the Sabian symbol for that degree is a toddler taking wobbly first steps while the grown-ups cheer from across the room. Translation: whatever you started at the New Moon is allowed to be clumsy right now. Fall on your butt, get back up, and keep going. Mercury is still in retrograde till November 13. Get more details at MoonDark.

* Today’s Tarot card is the Queen of Swords, upright. She’s the one who has seen it all and is no longer accepting bullshit: clear eyes, sharp tongue, firm boundaries. Say the true thing today, and say it plainly.

Stay tuned each weekday morning for all the Unhinged But Accurate news.

We love you, mean it!

We discussed the icky ambiguity of the Israeli election outcome, the magic of no cell phones at a Phoebe Bridgers concert, and these stories…

The daily woo:

* The moon is not void of course, but Mercury (and loads of other planets) are all in retrograde. Get more details at MoonDark.

Today’s top stories:

First we discussed how Microsoft offered a buyout to 60K employees yesterday because, AI. What that likely means for the other tech companies? When Microsoft sneezes, the entire industry tends to get the flu.

Perhaps what is means is: humans are no longer the focus of jobs.

But one human thing we can do? VOTE!

The daily woo:

Lawrence Winnerman popped off today about the moon, and here’s the gist of it all—including that amazing quote about the rider with the too-large armor.

The Void of the Fortunate Ancestral Armor

* Moon in ♉︎ Taurus squares Jupiter in ♌︎ Leo

* Hinge degree 23°46′ Taurus, the twenty-fourth degree

* 🌖 Waning Gibbous

* Exact at 10:50 AM · Tuesday, October 27

* Void · 10:50 AM – 9:01 PM · 10 hours 11 minutes

(moondark.app) A rider wears the armor of the ancestors, old tokens of victory knocking at the belt, and the armor is a size too large. Jupiter under the square is the luck of inheriting it: the steel is real, the fit is not, and every clasp was made for a bigger body. Which of the old victories the rider would have won alone, the armor does not say.

And today’s Tarot card? Um, Death. Nothing to see here…

Stay tuned each weekday morning for all the Unhinged But Accurate news. And mark your calendars, as we’re thrilled to welcome Grounded Podcast for Fucked-up Friday at the end of the week.

And also—one week till the midterms! VOTE VOTE VOTE, pretty please go vote.

Have an amazing day!XOXO Dana DuBois & Lawrence Winnerman
