All right, thanks everyone for joining me today. So this is a bit of an experiment where I'm doing a impromptu test to do a live chart reading with patrons of the astrology podcast today. So the moon is actually opposing Uranus, which I didn't really plan out, but kind of works. I have Uranus on the mid-heaven and I tend to do things kind of impromptu sometimes when I feel moved to do it, but I recently did a chart reading workshop with students of my Hellenistic course where we went through and we took charts from the audience on the rulers of the houses for people that had a really striking example of a ruler of the house placement in a certain house and then we shared their example

and then talked I talked through their chart with them and that went so well that it just reminded me.

I used to do a lot of those kind of like live chart reading webinars at the Mercury Cafe

when my health was better and it reminded me how much I enjoyed that.

So I'd like to start bringing some of that back to the podcast,

and I think I'm gonna start more regularly

trying to do live chart readings with patrons

of the astrology podcast who are signed up for the live stream tier as well as the

tiers above that which is the tier that allows you to attend normally just the month ahead

forecast episodes when we record those live, but now anytime I do a live stream, I'll try to announce it usually with a little bit more heads up than I gave people today, but as an additional benefit for people that support my work on the podcast, having the potential to have your chart read each month.

So the focus of today's live chart reading is I wanted to do one to talk about recent transits that have been happening in people's lives that we've been talking about on the forecast episodes, you know, where each month we talk

about all these important transits like last month it was the eclipses that were happening in Ares and Leibra, the Mars

Saturn conjunction in Pisces, the Jupiter Uranus conjunction in Taurus, and then

this month we've got that huge Taurus stelium as well as planets then moving into Gemini.

So there's been so much going on lately and we can see in the news that there's stories of people, you know, having major events happen in their life that match those

transits and we can see that with like celebrity stories that we always share on

the forecast episodes when something notable happens because it's so visible and it's in the news and then everyone can relate to that.

But some of the best stories of transit's always come from talking to individuals directly about what's going on in their life and

especially being able to ask them questions and have a dialogue.

So one of the points that I made in a recent episode with ESA on consultations is that an astrology

consultation is supposed to be primarily a dialogue between two people because that back and forth in that discussion and give and take

allows you to do a better job as an astrologer because you can sort of confirm or deny some of your assumptions about the chart and get clarification on that right away. And then once you start to understand the chart better and especially understand the trajectory of a person's life,
