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. This week, we are going to look at the astrology of the week ahead,

as always, but there are 10 exact transits this week. So I'm going to do my best to create

usable summaries for you so that you can really make sense of it without getting too

overwhelmed by all the details. Now, listen, it's the middle of the month,

right? It's mid-May. And there is so much happening in the world, right? There's so much

happening domestically that is meaningfully important. There's so much happening globally.

And there's so much happening with the climate. It's just there's a lot to care about. There's so much happening globally and there's so much happening with the climate.

It's just there's there's a lot to care about. There's a lot to feel hopeless and scared about

and there's a lot to feel hopeful about. But I want to speak to something that we've been

talking about over on my Patreon this past week and I've talked about probably here before, it's the

difference between hope and determination, or maybe not the difference between those two things,

but listen, if you are feeling overwhelmed, if you're experiencing burnout or empathy fatigue when looking at conditions in the world and just

not knowing how to navigate it, how to feel okay about what's happening. I want to invite you to

consider, instead of seeking hope, try to seek determination.

Determination is a commitment and a willingness to stay with it, even when it's hard.

Because when it comes down to it, we as a collective really struggle with staying emotionally present when things are hard.

We as individuals and as a collective.

We tend to struggle with situations in which we don't see any evidence of improvement.

We don't get, you know, a double tap like where we don't get affirmation.

But in the journey of living ethically, living in ways that are spiritually aligned, we're

really called to do what's right because it's right and not because we are seeing clear affirmations of our efforts.
