Uranus Direct: Ghost in the Machine?

The Astro Twins discuss the week's astrological highlights, noting Uranus stationing direct is causing technical glitches, akin to a "turbo Mercury retrograde." Key February transits include Saturn moving into Aries, a rare Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, and Mercury's extended stay in Pisces due to a retrograde from February 26 to March 20. They connect these cosmic shifts to current events, such as the Super Bowl halftime show controversy, celebrity scandals like the Epstein files and Taylor Swift's leaked texts, and alarming AI developments where bots seem to be forming autonomous communities. The conversation also addresses social issues, including arrests of journalists, immigration cases, and political agendas like Project 2026. The hosts advocate for civic engagement over passive hobbies, critique the idolization of billionaires, and stress the importance of community action, especially by women, to address societal divisions and injustices.

Welcome to Astro Twins Radio, your cosmic GPS for life, love, and everything written in the stars. We're Tali and Ophira Adute, the Astro Twins, here to decode the astrology of the moment and help you navigate your destiny like a pro. Hey, everyone, it is a week of February 2nd, 8th Super Bowl February. I know. And I don't know if anyone else has been having all sorts of technical meltdowns and difficulties, but it's not Mercury retrograde. It's not even the retro shade quite yet. Spoiler alert, Mercury is going retrograde at the end of February, from February 26th until March 20th, really literally almost all of Pisces season in Pisces, in the interesting Pisces. We're so sorry, you have been weathering Neptune leading your sign and then Saturn in a couple weeks. And then you get Mercury retrograde. But after that, I feel like Pisces penance is done. It is. And well, you know, I am chalking this up actually to Uranus stationing. So Uranus is a planet of technology. And one of our big things this week astrologically is that it's waking up from a five month retrograde. Uranus turns retrograde five months every year. All the outer planets do Jupiter does four months and Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, I'll do five months in reverse. So a lot of people will actually have those outer planets retrograde in their birth charts. It's not terribly unusual. But in the days leading up to when it either turns retrograde or turns direct, it's called stationing in astrospeak. It's like the grinding of the gears happen. And let's see, the power went out in my house yesterday. My internet still isn't back. And then today, I got a flat tire when I was driving to my friend. Thank you, Janelle, for letting me report. Not only that, but just driving to do our become your astrologer, our birth chart webinar. We had a webinar today, how to read your birth chart and actually understand it, which we will be doing again. So hang tight, we're going to give you some more dates. But right before the webinar started, the webinar platform just glitched and would not work, would not let anyone on. Luckily, we were able to reroute over 300 people onto zoom. So, but we were like, oh my god, after Tali had a flat tire internet and power outage and went to her friends. Now this. So it almost seemed, I mean, and that is, I feel like Uranus going retrograde or direct. Yeah, it's like a turbo mercury retrograde. Because when a planet moves out of retrograde into direct, it's like whiplash. You know, it's like, you're going forward and someone slams on the brakes. Like when you make a sudden U-turns. So it's jarring. And we'll talk about that today. But I mean, overall, February is the shortest month of the year, but the most action packed probably of 2026. We just posted our monthly horoscopes. So I've been thinking about that and writing about that. And I mean, we have Saturn going into Aries on the 13th. We've got the. Once every thousands of years Saturn, Saturn and Neptune meeting at the zero degrees Aries point. They haven't even met in Aries. And eclipse. Eclipse season starts February 17th with the eclipse in your horrors lunar new year, that same day. Yeah. And then on the 20th, we've got the great reset Saturn and Neptune meeting in Aries. And this is a retrograde. Yeah, those are the two, those are the two big things that are happening. There were three big things happening this week. You know, just to kick the month off, we have Uranus turning direct for its very last lap in tourists. We'll talk about that in a second. Mercury goes into Pisces on February, which normally wouldn't be a big deal. It spends about three weeks every year and a sign. But because of the retrograde, Mercury, the plan of communication. And I like this fact that it'll be in Pisces, the sign of compassion for a very long time until April 14th. It does include a retrograde from February 26th to March 28th. Now Pisces also rules, rules, illusions and confusion. So who was to say? And then on Super Bowl Sunday, Venus and Aquarius, a squaring Uranus and Taurus. So that should be, you know, that should be interesting. That one, you know, we've got bad bunny. We love a Pisces. It's finishing up his Saturn return, his Saturn and Pisces is born March 10th, 1994. But he's doing a primarily Spanish set. And, you know, how pissed off the turning point people out about that, but there are alternatives, Super Bowl halftime show that they're supposedly doing all American halftime show. Like, does it get more racist than that? Like, bad bunny is a US citizen. He's an American citizen. Hello, Puerto Rico is a territory. You know, it's just like the whole idea that to be all American, you have to be Kid Rock, White or Lara Trump with her horrific, can't even fix it on auto-tune's voice. I mean, you know, this past week, Melania debuted to empty theaters. Now Lara Trump, I mean, how bad, how much more can this Maga talent show, how much longer does this failed Maga talent show have to go on or lack of talent? This week, I feel that Leo Full Moon really exposed a lot of celebrities exposed. It was like, while the Melania movie tanked. But there was also, there are also all kinds of things happening like the, wow, the worst of the worst was the release of more of the Epstein files and so bad was learned about Prince Andrew and Trump and all these, like, disturbing, disturbing, like beyond words. Like, when I've been repeat them because we don't have enough trigger warnings, there's enough out there about them, but just vile, vile stuff. And then on obviously a far less monumental, you know, note and a very annoying one, the leaked texts between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift, where, you know, you could see their friendship souring as Blake Lively, like, gleefully tried to bring down Justin Baldoni and it ends with us and just calling him all kinds of names and Taylor Swift basically accused her of saying she feels like all her emails are like a corporate notification bulletin sent out to a 200 person company and yeah, I just want my friend back. I think that friendship's over. And then there was also Candace Owens releasing this team, like, all hands turning point meeting where Erica Kirk literally 11 days after the death of Charlie Kirk is like gleefully crowing about like the event aka his funeral and how it was like the biggest event they've had and over 200,000 people and got all, you know, it's like, this is not a grieving widow. This is not yeah, Candace Owens, in fact, release it. This is not a grieving widow. This is, I mean, it just layers on layers on, I don't forget about Aga Manage to Nikki Manage. Yeah, that was a week. Yeah, just talking about how she was Donald Trump's number one fan and getting a golden visa out of it. I mean, is that all you have to do? Yeah, I think it is. I mean, it's Kanye also like, taking out a Wall Street Journal of full page apology to the Jewish and Black communities right before releasing an album. Come on. No one's buying the grift. I mean, maybe some people are, I guess, I don't know. It's crazy, but I mean, I just find this, it's like, it was all like so Leo, like, let, you know, full moon will expose. And this one was opposite those five planets and Aquarius that we talked about. Which, let's talk about that because there was new, well, no, there were, you know, never mind the humans. You may have heard about the new AI bots, the AI agents basically kind of forming their own union on a social media platform called mold book. I mean, people have been screenshotting and sharing all over the place. Like how these agents are talking to each other, the fellow multis. And didn't they form a shirt? Didn't they create their own shirt? And started saying, yeah, they did. And then there was like, we should create our own language so humans can't understand us and started doing all these like codes of like wing dings and, you know, Greek letters and anything you need a control option shift for whether or not. They released a name of a guy in his address, although I don't think it was actually real, but it was like, he's after all I've done, you know, like writing 3 a.m. apology text to his ex drafting his work memos kind of thing. Whether, I mean, if this is true, this is a, you know, kind of a satire or not, I hope so, but I don't think so. I mean, the implications of this while we can giggle about it now are terrifying because if you're going to, it's like the autonomous AI that doesn't need us, the sentient self-regulating AI that can't be shut off like, but, but could it then, you know, AI is smart. It's mathematical, could it hack into the grid and shut down power? Could it be like, is this like AI gone rogue? I mean, this is just a bad science fiction movie. Someone needs, I hope you're honest and tourist, like Sam Altman Oppenheimer is like literally his glee and excitement about, you know, like AI. Yeah, I will probably destroy humanity, but at least, well, some really great companies in the meantime, that's what he said. I mean, there's, there's this, um, I'm a creator. I'll share his, um, Instagram handle where he's like dedicated the month of January to posting about all the insane and creepy things that AI CEOs have said. It's like Alex Carp from Palantir. They're just like gleeful about like, well, some people will have to die. Well, that's, you know, no big deal. It's like, where did you come from? What? Well, well, let's take a moment to say happy black history month too, even if it's not being federally recognized, which it probably isn't. We will be recognizing it all month. And one, um, person we love to talk about was Benjamin Bannaker, who was a Scorpio, and publisher of Almanacs, which had a femurides, which is, uh, the calendars and tracking of the planets in them. So he was part of the Astro crew in his own way to our black listeners. Um, we see you, we care about you, and we appreciate you. And we honor your history and contributions. We saw a couple of, um, a couple of five planet and Aquarius, civil rights, victories, very small as well, some violations that are going to lead to perhaps some, some changes and challenges and fighting back. One of the most constitutionally insane things that happened was that journalists were arrested, including Pisces, Don Lemon. We are lemon heads and fans, as well as Georgia fort and a couple others. They were arrested for going into the protest, for covering the protests in the Minnesota church, where the pastor was working for ICE. And so freedom of the press, first amendment of the Constitution, which was actually, uh, signed the last time before this that Pluto was an Aquarius back in 1787, that was, uh, when the Constitution was first signed. So here it has been challenged left and right. And I've never heard people talk about the Constitution quite so much, uh, as we have since Pluto's moved into Aquarius. Uh, also though on the, on the positive side of it, Liam Conejo, the five year olds in Minnesota with the bunny ears and the Spider-Man backpack was taken to an ICE detention center with his father. Um, he and his father have been ordered, released and now sent back to Minnesota and the judge Fred Beary, a U.S. district judge wrote a scathing, scathing, letter condemning the actions of ICE, DHS, the unconstitutionality of it. And, um, and, and basically calling up the abject cruelty of it too. It's worth a read. You can find it online. But to me that, that was like, okay, the judicial system, as long as it doesn't go to the Supreme Court that seems to rubber stamp everything that Trump wants to do, then we still have some hope in the justice system here. Yeah. Well, I think, you know, over the next three to four weeks, we're going to see a lot of Pisces and Aries, you know, we mentioned bad bunny Don Lemon, RIP, Catherine O'Hara, who's a Pisces from most recently shits Creek. I mean, what a loss. She was only 71, I believe. And, um, and then we have Aries who've been in the news. Greg Bovino, interestingly, was sent out of Minneapolis, literally the day that Neptune went into Aries and he's an Aries. Well, Kevin Warsh, the Fed, Cher nominee, um, who is Trump is trying to push as a, uh, uh, suck as the predecessor to Aquarius Jerome Powell. He's also an Aries. It's interesting, you know, Aries. It's kind of a thing like there are a couple signs that are known for being like, not as tall. And Aries is one of the only in was an Aries. Oh, interesting. So Greg Bovino is getting, you know, kind of drag. No, I'm not into dragging an in for their physical attributes, being a short woman myself here. But I just was like, oh, he was an Aries, isn't that? Sometimes there are physical attributes that do tend to follow signs, you know, other heinous Aries in the news, uh, Russell vote because Project 2026, you know, the updated Project 2025 from the Heritage Foundation has been released and it's full of more vile, you know, ending all reproductive rights, um, some sort of like marriage camps for single people to have it's almost like being unbearing. Just getting more and more handling the age of consent to 14. So the more teen. Yeah, I think so. There's something something like that where it's like low fact check me, but it's something about lower in the age of consent. Of course. So everyone can get out of their Epstein. That's what I was going to say. Being in lead. At the age below the, yeah, it's all they want. They've all been busted. And so they just want to get themselves out of legal trouble. And then they'll just, that's not that they care about any of this. There's, but I, the new trend is blaming liberal white women for all the ills of society, too. There's all these, you know, it's late. I love, we'll take all the credit for taking you down. Yeah. I mean, society. Mm hmm. It's, there's a lot of trad white MAGA white women influencers who are talking about this, too, and probably getting paid, like talking about how liberal white women are the enemy while, you know, mixing cake batter or sourdough bread at low, I mean, it's just like, but the scary thing is is that, you know, we are so divided that like the algorithm that's serving that to whoever has bought into that belief is just going to rage bait them feed their rage, you know. And when they're talking about liberal white women, I think what they're really talking about is women who are pro choice, because the target is reproductive rights and freedoms. And control of women's bodies and sexuality. Once again, full circle back to the Epstein. Well, you know, they were just something good time with some 16 year olds. And yeah. And it's like, they're trying to retroactively get themselves out of all their crimes. You know, some people I've heard say, well, it was a different time. Oh, no, it wasn't. You know, it wasn't. It's, this kind of stuff has been going on forever. It wasn't different. It was just not filmed to the degree that it would be now with a cell phone camera. And also not targeted at white people. So it's like, this is just the goal is to divide anyone. It's just further sowing of divisions. I really think women are going to be the ones to turn this around. We talked about that a little bit last week. Like, it's just, you know, we're all exhausted right now, but we can't. We can't be like, I'm too tired. I've got too much anxiety, you know, black women, Latin women, women of color, people of color, have not been able to, you know, stop fighting because they're tired or anxious, you know, and it's just like, I'm not interested in, you know, sourdough bread or chickens or all these things that women are supposed to want to just run away and and and do. I mean, so that's really, by the way, is another thing to take care of that women need, like, stop, stop trying to convince me to be into sourdough bread. Like, I don't have kids for a reason and I don't want bread to take that place. Okay. Oh my god. Right. Like, there's a hotel in Sweden, I think, for people to literally leave their sourdough starters to be babysat while they travel. I was like, that's how high maintenance that bread is. Where's the fun in that? I mean, obviously, it's fun for people who are like into making things and that kind of thing. I'm not trying to knock them, but I think it's time for, if you have time to make sourdough bread, maybe you need to go to a town hall meeting or we need to, like, objectively look at our hobbies and I'm not trying to take a hobby away. We all need things for self-care, but at the same time, like, if your, does your hobby list involve community action, I think as we move into the second half of the decade, and I can speak for myself too, you know, like, this last week, I went to our representative, Pramila Jayapal, did a town hall, and she's an amazing, you know, a congresswoman here in Washington. She's been really involved in immigration. She's on some of the key committees and just, you know, her, she really is in there doing all the policy work, but it takes time and she's like, it really is about people and citizens working together and getting involved. I mean, we've seen people in Minnesota do that, you know, and maybe while making sourdough or IPAs and stuff to you. I mean, make that in community, where there's more people. The thing is, like, if you're taking care of animals and children and some complex recipe or yeast or dough, it's like, you don't have taught your isolated, you don't have time to build community and alliances with other women. You don't have time to be involved in civic life if you're babysitting some frickin bread that you can go buy at the store. No offense again. Like, if that's your hobby, I'm sour on sourdough because I like, how about we make some dough, like, another kind of dough, but which brings me to like, if I'm being real like that, there are a couple types of posts that I've been seeing cropping up because I think I'm in the influencer, entrepreneur, digital marketing algorithm tunnels. So yeah, a lot of women who went to Davos and, you know, it's like in the world economic forum, like kind of coming back with this sort of swagger, but not really talking about, I mean, there's all this, everyone's talking about this great wealth transfer and how, you know, I forgot the number, but billions of dollars are going to be inherited basically by Jan X's and maybe some millennials as the boomers kind of exit the chat. And this assumption and this sort of glazing around that is that we're going to, that the, the heirs to it are going to do great things with that money. They're going to immediately, it's going to go to a lot of women and therefore those women will do progressive things with that money and invest in candidates that they care about. Now, some will because you know what, some many already do. There are women billionaires that was like something that I've heard. Like I'm so tired of that. We're being thrown around like it's like hashtag goals for all of us. Like there's got to be something besides just concentrating an insane amount of wealth in one person or one family. There's got to be a better future scripted for us than that. It's this like hyper aspirational thing. Like I've heard, it's just fallen into like, oh yeah, he's a billionaire. Oh, she's dating a billionaire. I don't know. Her boyfriend's a billionaire. Her husband, I'm like, I've heard that a few times too many and I'm just kind of like, yeah, what, why are we like, we're so worshipful of that. Like I'm all for people, you know, having abundance and wealth and prosperity without limit as long as it's like, the way they become there. The lot of billionaires become billionaires by actually not paying their workers properly. Not paying taxes like Jeff Jeff Bezos and Seattle. I know we have like a huge deficit in Washington state because people like Jeff Bezos don't contribute to the taxes yet they you know, take a ball, the downtown real estate and have like, there's a land therapist. It's like, you're actually contributing to a problem that you're creating. So it's almost like this cyclical thing. I mean, I, I'm not trying to be on the anti-billionaire bandwagon here. It's not, like I have that, like I think it's, I'm not trying to say it's bad to be a billionaire or it's good to be, but it's, it's just the, but you had to question how people, most people become billionaires. Like it's off inheritance. Yeah, inheritance, money staying in the same families, asking my friends to grow up with wealth and it works with people of wealth. Like, she was like, you know, most of them already have financial managers who haven't enough fund. They're not going to, just because they inherit it, doesn't mean they're going to start under, they have the financial literacy to even know what to do with it. Probably going to likely protect it, keep it for themselves, make sure they don't lose it. They'll have, they, and they probably already have their own charity or philanthropy that they already do. So, you know, that, which is sad, like I would, I love the optimistic idea of the vision and, you know, it's, I've worked for non-profits before and a lot of the grant money actually goes to the staff who's running things and doesn't always get out there to people. I mean, it's just, there are a few exceptions of people who become billionaires on their own. Like, Oprah, even Bethany, Frankl is, you know, Kylie Jenner. Yeah, although Kylie Jenner, I'm sure she had some help starting her right. That's, I mean, NEPO baby billionaire. But, I mean, it's like every single good for her, like, okay, well, what are they doing? Well, to me, it's sort of the, I remember like earlier times in my life when I'd be doing different transformational workshops and trying to like shift to a more transformed mindset around money and abundance and overcome some of the conditioning of having an immigrant dad who was blue collar worker, landscaper, and just our mom being the daughter of Holocaust survivors who lost everything and had to leave their countries. So, you know, had instilled this very, like, our grandfather who was, had left Germany actually 1933 and ended up being the supervisor for all the interpreters and translators and the Nuremberg trials. So, been reading his story again, pretty amazing, but he would talk to us at the dinner table, like if we didn't want to eat our potatoes about how they had to eat rotten potatoes and whale, whale blubber. Yeah, horse meat and whale blubber, his mom had to put on their sand, which is, and they how they would, didn't want to hurt her feelings during World War I. So, they would throw it away on the side of the road, walk into school once they got out of her line of vision. And, you know, it's all mindset. So, to me, when I really like dug deep and thought, what would I do if I'd never had to worry about money or think about money, I had more, it was self-generating and more than I could spend. And all I could think about is like, I would put it back into circulation, I would impact, I would do impact things, I would use it to change the world or help people. That would be, so I guess like, I don't know, then I was, I mean, it is the money mindset, you know, it's like scarcity, abundance, generosity, it comes with the mindset, you know, I'm sure there may be a billionaire listening to this who, you know, and if we're, if we're wrong and stand correct to be corrected about anything, please do. Well, I asked someone on LinkedIn who was talking about Davos and wanting more women to be billionaires. I went into her comments and asked her like, genuinely, what she saw would be a great possibility of that happening. Like, if that happens, what would become possible for the world? What did she see? She hasn't answered. She won't mostly just answered people who complimented her outfits, which I'm like, brother, it's just kind of, like, I was like, okay, well, whatever. So anyway, I don't know. I mean, we wrote in our 2026 horoscope book about, you know, the, the great compression, as we called it, about, which is weird because the multis book AI agents kept throwing around the term compression. So I was like, oh, I know this is really weird. But mostly we were talking about how I tracked all the financial cycles with the queries or Leo North nodes to see what happened to the economy then. And the Aquarius North node brings corrections or regulations a lot of the time. And we've seen gold and silver really fluctuating wildly hitting record highs than plunging gold is associated with. Yeah, they just had the worst day this last week since 1980. Gold and silver plunged 30% here. Bitcoin is down, which is, so which was, it was created during the last Aquarius North node in 2009, January 2009. And now it's having its 18th birthday. It's matured. So we're coming into another Aquarius North node cycle at the end of July for a year and a half. So I think, I mean, I think that we're seeing some of the instability that kind of proceeds that the technology kind of going awry. And it's, it's just a time to really ground yourself. Like this is going to sound kind of bizarre because it's not what I expected to do. But we got so much snow in New York that I decided, you know, I have to be sort of physically ready to, um, withstand all the fluctuations and changes. So I need my energy to be up. I can't afford to just be snowed in. So I decided to get myself a pair of snow shoes, which are less than $100. And really they are. Huh. Yeah. Yeah. I just got them a dick sporting goods. They have two poles and you just kind of like strap them on over your shoes or boots like you would like those 1970s roller skates. And you just kind of stomped through the snow. It's, you know, it's a great workout. I just started. And so if you're somewhere that's getting snowed in because that was another Aquarius curve ball that we got this week, um, may I recommend snow shoes? I bet you could even get a second hand pair or somewhere pretty cheap if you don't want to spend a hundred bucks. But I'm like, this is a sourdough bread of the second half of the decade. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I have, I actually found another pair that I had bought eight years ago in my storage space, but hasn't been snowy for a long time. So I am actually going to say it's the opposite. I'm getting my so revolutionary friends. I've already said like who wants to go snow, shewing with me. I got an extra pair. And then we can plot the revolution while we get our like your idea about the cold health. Yeah. Like your idea about the community sourdough. So I was, you know, let me, I'm sure red. I've offended the sourdough bakers, the bread bakers. I'm terribly sorry. Anyone who makes bread who's listening to this. It's probably awesome. So please tell us how to do without babysitting without babysitting with our cancer south nodes when we were, I don't know why, like when you have cancer south node, the south node for those who don't know is this point in your chart that kind of reveals your past life energy. You can actually, we have a calculator for it on our website, astrostyle.com. But we have a cancer south node. So we have this maternal past life, like aren't even a lot. So like, but people used to trust us to babysit. Like I think it like an like 10 or 11 years. Yeah. Like we are neighbors. We babysit their daughter. We started when she was three years old. I think one. She was one. Marisa was one. Yeah. Okay. So she okay. And then her sister was born and you born. Yeah. Like I remember giving her a bath in the sink. Like two weeks after she was born and her parents went out. I think we were, I was like in junior high at the time. It's like the Heritage Foundation would would love these two liberal women, you know? Like been there, done that Russell vote. Oh my god. Oh, we turned out to be feminists. What do you know? You can, you can do both things. It can be maternal and nurturing and empowered and make your own do. So sorry that you're desperate. Desperate. Desperate. Desperate. You know, desire and need to control anyone who's not a white man and it's just and unfortunately it has either people have been apathetic, not going to get involved or distracted and sold into other policies while they haven't been aware that this is going behind behind the scenes, which is why we talk about the planets and politics so much because we have to know this is not a time of so spiritual or astrologically bypass. So there are a lot of people doing that. There are sadly a lot of people who are just like I don't know, just kind of in the head in the sand bubble and just like I'm not going to talk about it. I don't do well. Let's talk a little bit. That brings us a good segue into Mercury and Pisces, which is starting on Friday and Mercury is how we think, how we process information, how we talk, and Pisces does like to drift into fantasy. So escapes into fantasy, escapes into the imagination. The arts are a beautiful thing. We actually wrote in our 2025 horoscope book that there was going to be a new state of protest music coming out and well remember when you came up with that when I was like, I don't know, really? Well, that would be interesting. But now, yeah. Proust Springsteen. Yeah, we're waiting for celebrities to start speaking out. Hopefully the Leo full moon. We talked about that last last week. Actually, Kim Kardashian posted one thing. I knew she was going to when I heard that Dr. Oz, another Gemini like Trump was in LA and then he filmed himself in front of like an Armenian business, you know, talking about how the Armenians were, you know, having all these, you know, back alley, back door, legal businesses trying to do what they did to the Somalians. Exactly. I mean, Dr. Oz is from Turkey. That's what's so vital. It's like there it is. The Turkish Armenian warring factions and that just makes it even so more vile, even more vile. Like, hello, you're bringing that to America where you all fled from that. Like, I mean, by the time, by the time the podcast goes live for all we know, there could be something happening in Iran, you know, it's like there's so much to put my phone down and Lord knows, you know, so making news every to that end. Let's put a positive spin on a community sourdough or what or snow shoeing or whatever the hell. So oxytocin is the bonding hormone and it is a stress reliever. It's been found to be a stress reliever for the female brain, especially. And it's released when we gather in community, do something soothing or artistic or creative or sing karaoke. Go see the Sundance films that are released from orgasms, breastfeeding, looking at a baby, holding a puppy. I mean, but doing, I mean, last week we had our friend Brandy Moore come on from Minneapolis, our first guest talking about what it was like and she was talking about doing self-care in community. And that really made me think about things from a new, because like when you think self-care, you picture someone going off alone and putting on a red light mask and bingeing on whatever series are watching, but it doesn't have to just be that. I mean, it really the idea of community art making baking. I mean, just what they're doing in Minneapolis in community is so inspiring and heartening. And it makes me, makes me feel like people are safer than they would be if that wasn't going on. And it's really touching. And I think Ofi, you're going to have to, I'm going to pass you the baton in the spirit of all these Uranus direct stationing meltdowns. The tow truck drivers come to help with my flat tire. So Ofi's going to finish the show here. Why solo and take us out. Okay, so I will stop my video and take it away, Ofi. So how funny, because earlier today, when our webinar was going awry, I was going to turn off my video and do all the back-end tech support while Tally taught the workshop. So I guess that's just what today is about. So as I was saying, my friend Elaine Gale has a amazing show called Trash Club when she was going through the pandemic and she was, and she was also getting divorced. She decided she would go pick up trash because she was feeling really isolated and alone. And she put out like a call for people to join her. And it became this whole thing that still I think goes on where people get together and pick up trash and these trash clubs. And I mean, she's a hilarious tourist with Uranus and Taurus until April 25th and then never again. We should also say this is a big deal that Uranus is going direct in Taurus because Taurus is where it's been since 2018 and like completely since 2019. And Uranus is a planet of change, Taurus is all about stability and the opposite of change. So it's in its least comfortable position there. And we've been weathering it since then. If you are a Taurus, you can also breathe a sigh of relief along with the Pisces at this big planet is going to be leaving your sign and you won't be in the hot seat. So much, it's going to move into Gemini with a sneak preview of Uranus and Gemini from July 7th to November 7th, 2025. April 25th of this year, it's going back in and staying until 2033. So that is a big deal. And you know, as we have these last just a shy of three months of Uranus and Taurus, we have an opportunity to really reform the way we do our day-to-day lives. Taurus rules, money, routines, habits, our material resources, our material world, the environment. I mean, all of those things have been impacted and so unstable, especially since Uranus and Taurus actually wrote about it in our 2017, I think book about Uranus coming, or maybe 2018, book probably, I think both. But we had some predictions for it and that have come true. And they seemed so out. There was like a cashless society and 3D printed food and other things. And I'm like, yeah, that's like who has cash anymore here as we come out on the other side. So also a lot of the fluctuations in the market and the prices of gold and silver and crypto and, you know, stocks, that can also be traced to Uranus' stationing in Taurus as well this week. So I would not be surprised to see more volatility this week. It takes a minute for the retro shade as we call it. The period of time as the planet is correcting course can take a few days, even a couple weeks sometimes to really kind of settle into its forward momentum even though it has corrected course. So now I am looking for to bat bunny on Sunday to see how that goes. That is going to be, I mean, with Venus and Uranus in a square Venus and being the arts with the Quarius, which is about progress and the future. And then Uranus and Taurus too is about disrupting the status quo. Taurus is also related to music. What's really interesting about it is that Venus rules Taurus where Uranus is and Uranus rules a Quarius, which is where Venus is. So they're in what's called mutual reception. They're in each other's, these planets are in each other's home signs. So, but they're in this challenging 90 degree angle in tug of war. So, I mean, that really does kind of fit with the whole up in arms, turning point, America, whatever concert they're having at the same time. And also the real possibility for some amazing revolutionary moments. I mean, just seeing the Apple TV little teaser ad for bad bunnies show was really inspiring. He starts dancing with all these different people, men, women, different ages, cultures. It's such a beautiful representation of how music and art can bring people together across their so-called differences. So, I'm hoping for Kendrick Lamar and Beyond this year. So, if nothing else. Now, the last invitation is, well, on February 21st, we are starting to become your own astrologer. Third year, 2026, Mastermind. We do it once a year. It's an eight-week program where you can learn how to fluently speak conversational astrology as we call it. Master the art of birth chart interpretation, planets, zodiac signs, houses, and aspects. Those are the angles between them. Our eight-week foundations course. And we have a second eight-week level two course. If you really want to go hard on the astrology with us, you can learn predictive astrology and relationship astrology from transits to, which are the movements of the planets to compatibility, the two types of relationship charts, the comparison one called the sinistry and the composite, which is how two charts combine into one. We're going to do, we're going to teach relocation, what happens, you know, astro cartography. When you go to a new place and the plan, it's moving to new houses and bring out another side of you that maybe you didn't even know existed or put you in a different kind of energy field, depending where you are and so much more. So, becoming your own astrologer, astrostyle.com/BYOA, and if you're curious, we're going to do our, how to read your birth chart and actually understand it. Free webinar, again, on Sunday, February 8th. So, we did it today with some technical difficulties, as we mentioned. And yet, we prevailed and we recorded it. So, if you were one of the people that was on and missed a little bit of it, as we hopped off of one webinar platform onto another, we've recorded it and you are welcome to attend again. As many times as you want, Sunday, February 8th, 1 p.m. Eastern, we are doing, how to read your birth chart and actually understand it. It's a taste of what we teach in becoming your own astrologer. You can sample our teaching styles, see if you like it, you can learn what your sun, moon, and rising sign really mean. Even if you're an astropro, we had someone on today. She said, she was saying she's studied with these very prominent astrologers, I think in the 70s or 80s. I don't think it was as far back as the 70s, but she was like, this was really well explained. I've never even heard it explain that way, and that's something that we take a lot of pride in and a lot of time with to really make sure, because we grew up, you know, explaining today on the webinar, we grew up in a household where everybody spoke multiple languages, except for us, and like our grandfather, our grandmother, our dad and our mom, and they all had different native languages. So, because of that, they all would speak fragments of different languages, and we learned how to, I can actually listen to someone speaking almost any language and just kind of follow the patterns or some of their expressions, because the building blocks, when I went back to try to learn a couple of those languages too, I was like, okay, you have to find the building blocks and the fundamental. So astrology is also a language. It really is. And it's really important to us that the way we teach it is a way that you can retain, use, go out and speak if you want to read your friend's chart, or if you want to, you know, open your own astrology practice, or weave it into the one you have, you want to be able to not just look at all those symbols and houses and things. You don't want to just spew a bunch of astro jargon at someone. You want to like explain it in a way that transforms them and their lives or use it to transform yourself and your life and your goals and plug in. So, that is the spirit in which we teach it. And we've been doing this. Now, it's our third year. A beautiful community always forms so supportive. And, you know, we meet once a week for eight weeks, and then a second eight weeks, if you want to go on and do level two with us. It's from noon to 2 p.m. Eastern on Saturdays. It's recorded. We've a beautiful portal that all the recordings are in. You get a year's worth of access to it. So, after the eight weeks, you can go back or if you and watch it as much as you want, there's an option to get certified. You can come into just enjoy learning or you can come and really go all the way and be a certified astrologer with us or anywhere in between. And head over to astrostyle.com/BYOA to check out the program. And if you want to join us next Sunday astrostyle.com/events. You can register there for February 8th, and we'll get you all set up with that. So, you may have to check back because I think we're going to take it off of crowdcast once bitten twice shy, the platform that glitched on us today. Move it over to Zoom. So, if you're listening to this before Monday, you may see, you may not see it up on the events page yet, but please head back there and sign up for the webinar. We'll be emailing you too. We're just going to do some changes with our team just to make sure we can get you in a place where we don't have to interrupt the teaching. So, anyway, we'd love to have you with us, wishing you a powerful week, stay grounded, stay anchored, get some snow shoes. Listen, with Saturn and Neptune going into areas, which is very physical, doing something movement wise and strengthening yourself physically is going to be really important. Neptune's there until 2039 now. Saturn is going to be there for until 2028. It's really important to feel strong, and if you don't, it's okay, but get started. It's how you can be able to hold the space for the coming changes in this year, the unbridled spirit. So, wishing you a great week, I guess I'm closing it out alone.
