Welcome to Ghost of a Podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Lignato. I'm an astrologer, psychic medium,

an 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,

the astrology is a lot. It's intense. There's many things

happening, including a new moon in very emo cancer. We're looking at the astrology of July 12th

through the 18th of 2026. But before we get into the future, I just want to touch in on something that has been heavy on my soul really intensely this past week.

In the past week, with the death of Nolan Wells and the ruthless murder of 52-year-old Lorenzo, Sal al-Ajo, and forgive me if I pronounce that

wrong. Both of these people, a child and a grown man with children, are more than

headlines. And it's essential that I say on this podcast, which is a spiritual podcast, that in a racist world,

it is incumbent upon each and every one of us, but especially white people, which is to say

people who are not racialized, to be actively anti-racist. And this is hard to do.

It's not just that some people do it and some people don't.

On a spiritual level, on an emotional and psychological level, it's really hard to do.

It requires interrogating your assumptions, your thoughts, your feelings at times.

It requires that you sit with assumptions, reactions, thoughts, feelings, actions

that make you feel bad if you really explore them.

But I cannot stress enough how important it is to cultivate the skill set to be able to sit with

challenging emotions. This is something I have really tried to center teachings around

through the various things I do through my work and certainly throughout this podcast.

When you feel bad and you have a reaction

to those sad or bad feelings, it's really healthy and wise to ask yourself what you're trying

to protect, what you feel bad about. But you can't do that when you're just reacting.
