Welcome to Ghost of a Podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Lignato. I'm an astrologer, psychic medium, and animal communicator. And I'm going to give you your weekly horoscope and no bullshit, mystical advice for living your very best life.

Welcome back to Ghost of a podcast. We're going to get into some astrology like we do. I'm going to give you a

little bit of a spoiler. Venus is heavily involved. It's got me thinking about something that I've been

thinking about on lots of different levels. It's your values. You know, a lot of people struggle with the idea of like, what are my values? How do I even figure out what my values are? I know that some people have really kind of like mixed feelings about the idea of values. I'm of the mindset that your values are incredibly important for you to be clear about. And if you're not clear about them,

what better time to reflect on your understanding of your values than during a Mercury retrograde,

right? Because Mercury is all about understanding and the retrograde is all about reflection.

The reason why your values are so important is because the act of living in alignment

is an act of being aligned with your values, right?

And living in alignment brings you greater peace and satisfaction and happiness and well-being.

That is related to self-worth and confidence and the ability to navigate healthy boundaries.

A healthy relationship to your values is really foundational to your sense of self.

It's also foundational to how you live. There's lots of

ways of talking about or thinking about values. But from my perspective, astrologically, we have Jupiter,

which is associated with philosophies. And Mercury is your ideas, right? It's your beliefs and your

attitudes. We have Neptune, which is associated

with your ideals. Saturn related to, you know, your sense of morality and right and wrong and what's

acceptable and what's not acceptable. Different planets govern different concepts, different parts

of our humanity. But Venus, Venus is the planet that

reflects your values. And here's the thing. What you do, how you live, what you put your energy

and what you devote your attention to is a reflection of your values.

And you may find that some of the things that you put a whole lot of energy into aren't actually

a good reflection of your values. And this is where you can start to understand places that you're misaligned.
