Kelly Sertes and Austin Koppec about the astrological forecast for August of 2018.

Hey guys, how's it going?

Oh, it's going all right, Chris.

Good to be here. Hey guys, good to be back.

Thank you, Kelli.

Austin, you have some fire and brimstone going on in your neck of the woods I heard earlier?

Yeah, the, uh, for about the last two weeks straight, the forest fires just south of here have been so intense that you can see the smoke

hanging in the air during the daytime. And you can, you know, it smells like a like a meatless barbecue outside and it's giving my poor my poor cat coughing

It's probably not very good for me either, but you know, I worry about the cat.

It's sweet that you worry about the cat.

Well, he makes a big show of it.

Wow, that is pretty serious, but otherwise you've been taking some time off or relaxing a little bit,

or at least not doing things full, full blast?

I dropped my schedule down a little bit. I stopped doing, I put my deck in column on pause. I'm still teaching a class, I'm still doing

readings and I'm still writing dailies, but it's you know I lowered the demands on my time and energy, which is great because I've really, I got really behind on a lot of things, taking care of myself and so I'm really glad I made the

decision to retrograde with Mars. I like that it's like dancing with Mars but not quite as fun maybe.
