51 min - 13. basics of astrology
let's get into some astrology friends, YAY! today we get into basics of astrology, the "what does it all mean" of astrology. this is one of my favorite topics of conversation and I LOVE IT SO MUCH! i linked a few things in the shownotes for visuals.
*our guide*
the signs:
- Aries - fire, cardinal, yang
- Taurus - earth, fixed, yin
- Gemini - air, mutable, yang
- Cancer - water, cardinal, yin
- Leo - fire, fixed, yang
- Virgo - earth, mutable, yin
- Libra - air, cardinal, yang
- Scorpio - water, fixed, yin
- Sagittarius - fire, mutable, yang
- Capricorn - earth, cardinal, yin
- Aquarius - air, fixed, yang
- Pisces - water, mutable, yin
the houses:
- 1st house: your appearance, the way you come across, your social 'mask' (associated with aries and it's cusp is the rising sign)
- 2nd house: cash, property, your values, possessions and self-esteem, material wealth (associated with taurus)
- 3rd house: communication and how you communicate, siblings and neighbors, short trips, transport, your mind (associated with gemini)
- 4th house: home and family, where you feel you belong, emotional foundations, being settled (associated with cancer and it's cusp is the IC - the home line)
- 5th house: romance, creativity and kids, procreative sex, fun, flirting, pregnancies, risk taking (associated with leo)
- 6th house: daily work, health and routines, being a service to others, job situation, alternative health (associated with virgo)

- 8th house: birth, death, life's mysteries, rebirth, renewal, transformation, sex, joint finances, taxes (associated with Scorpio - ah so that's probably why Pluto finds Accidental Detriment in the 2nd house because it’s the opposite of the eighth)
- 9th house: travel, long journeys, the Great Cosmic quest, broadening the mind, gaining perspective (associated with Sagittarius)
- 10th house: your ambitions and career, hose you make your mark, goals, public life, recognition (associated with Capricorn and its cusp is the MC - the career line)

39 min - 11. boundaries + others w/melon
today I am joined by one of my best friends in the whole world, melon. we tried to talk mostly about creating boundaries within friendships, but we go off on tangents. towards the end, the audio might seem a little choppy - i had to cut out some pronouns/names/conversations for privacy reasons.
