804: The Boiling Point: Knuck if You Buck - Oh Yeah, and October Transits, Too
October is bringing us straight to The Boiling Point. Between the heavy systemic injustice we're witnessing and the massive transits shaking our foundations, things are heating up to a place where the truth can no longer be hidden or ignored.
In this episode, I’m opening up about how I've been navigating personal transitions while carrying the Community's shared grief in current collective moment. I’ve had to actively choose o protect my spirit from the chaos through radical softness, rest, and joy as my resistance to systemic oppression.In Episode 804, I break down the massive, interlocking alchemy of Pluto Direct in Aquarius, Scorpio Season, and Mercury Retrograde, leaning directly into what these transits mean for active revolution and Community collaboration.
In this episode, I take on a journey to past Venus Retrograde transits to see how we've always turned to one another to build our own vehicles of freedom, networks and independent safe spaces when the dominant systems ignored, attacked and failed us. Of course, I also have some practical nervous system acts of care that you can do today so you can step out of high emotional chaos that may be taking up the space in your head and safely reconnect back into your body. This is Episode 804 of Real Talk with The Spiritual Bestie.
