This is the Exploring Astrology Podcast, and I'm your host Adam Summer.

It's time for a new story.

I suggest that the stories we need turned up right on time about 5,000 years ago.

We need a new story. We didn't just dream our carefully individuated thoughts. We got dreamt.

Welcome to another exploring astralgast my friends, this one another plants. another about this plant called Black Koj, one that I think can help a lot of us out right now post

eclipse with all the current crises that are happening in the world. I'm going to correlate it then with Mars becoming

visible. That's happening. A bit of Venus and their

dance. They're going to come together on October 5th. It's kind of where

my mind has been as of late.

And this snake root, another name for it,

can really help us with our grief and sadness, something that a lot of us might be feeling at the moment

as forests burn and hurricanes rage and this, that, and the other that familiar with and so it's always amazing to learn

something new to taste something new, to

something new, to experience something that is also new.

And when thinking about this Mars and Venus cycle and how it might correlate with the plant that we're going to be talking about it does transcend it goes way beyond romantic themes and I think can penetrate a relationship into the magical, the natural, but also into the humanitarian

as well with everything that is going on around us.

And so I'm recording this on the 10th of September and if you're listening to this far in the future, Harvey has already hit in devastated Houston.

There's fires that have been raging in Montana and Oregon and all over the west, and Irma is about to hit Florida.

It's where my grandfather lives.

It's where my mother lives and I'm sure a lot of us have family down there and so

we pray and and we keep all of these people and these creatures and these plants in our minds.

Yes, they're natural cycles, but they are devastating.
