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. Something that I absolutely love about astrology is that when we understand that there's

something called personal planets and social or generational planets, when we look at, you

know, like the sun, moon, mercury, Venus, Mars, these plans make a lot of sense to people

when they're first learning about astrology. And the reason why is because it applies to your

personality, right? Like it applies to your immediate nature and to the nature of the people

around you. And so many people get into astrology because of how

relational it is in nature. It gives you insight into yourself, but also into your relationships.

When people start to learn about Jupiter and Saturn and even more so Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, people get confused.

These are the planets that really throw people off because they're related to collective

conditions. And it's really hard for a lot of people to make sense of that personally.

Now, there's a ton for me to say about that because the slower moving planets are really at the centerpiece of my practice and use of birth chart astrology.

But that's for another conversation.

In this conversation, what I want to kind of shed a little light on is how astrology, when we just look at the planets alone, just the

planets alone, articulates how you as an individual made up of all these planets and

zodiac signs and houses and aspects, you as an individual are having an individual experience in your personal life at the same

time that you are having a collective experience in the context of social and collective

which includes but is not limited to political conditions it's in astrology it's in your birth chart. It's in the transits.

And so many times what happens is we're having this individual experience and we're also having

a collective experience. But when you as an individual don't recognize that you are part of a community of thousands or millions

of people going through a similar or same thing, then you kind of lose out on really important

context.
