Welcome back to Ghost of a Podcast. This week, we're going to be looking at the astrology of July 20th

through the 26th of 2025. Per usual, there's a lot to talk about, but I want to share something

that I've been thinking about a bunch, this Mercury Retrograde. As you know, Mercury Retrograde is a time

for reflection. It's when we're meant to think back on our assumptions, on our plans, to review things. And the reason why disruptions and miscommunications and all this kind of messiness that's usually super annoying occurs is because that very disruption forces you to rethink

how you're listening or what you're saying or, you know, how you navigate upsets and change

and all that kind of good stuff or maybe not always good, but you know what I'm saying, right?

So Mercury Retrograde is annoying and it's on and here we are.

And also, I've been thinking about a bunch of stuff.

In these really pressing and in many ways deeply harrowing times. I've been thinking a lot about progress.

Martin Luther King Jr. talked about the moral arc of the universe bending long and towards justice.

And this idea of the universe bending towards justice is one that, you know, either you believe or you don't believe. I think most of us want to believe that whether or not we do. But the thing about it that is so important that that concept is understanding that when struggling towards justice and equality

and freedom, that struggle can't just be for your individual self. It can't just be for this

moment to be free from oppression in this moment, because it's a generational

project, my friends. It is a project that we can look through an astrological lens as

being associated with the outer planet transits, right?

It's generational planets.

That's what we call them.

This means that your efforts and mine,

as much as they are meant to be immediate

when we are fighting tyranny and fascism

and abelism and racism and transphobia and all the things.
