You're welcome, Stephanie. It's always great to see you here!

That was really wonderful. Thank you both so much. And ending it with understanding the tragedy and the comedy, and how knowing that will keep us sane and let us go through this and come out the other side --- that was huge! I have not felt hopeless, but what you said this evening has given me a new and much better kind of hope. That conversation was a blessing. Much love to you and to Jessica. ---Mz Jane

Yes, making that a practice (for myself, at least) with the tragicomic is crucial to abide by the particulars of the times we're living through. Also, I think people have lost their connection to history -- we forget that there have always been extreme downturns within culture (my god, does anyone remember reading about the Dark Ages?)

Elroy's Virgo Moon's in the 2nd house, with its ruler conjunct his Cancer Asc. All that, plus Sun in the 12th house (he has said his gravestone should say "Never Went to Therapy") all this underscores the impact of self-worth issues and self-undoing, yada yada. This is a feast of treats, this episode! Just started it and will savor many times.

Why does that not surprise me? The gravestone etching. The one person on the planet that needs therapy the most. Natch.

I'm trying to unravel that Uranus transit to his Saturn, coming very soon. Especially considering it pulls in the Jupiter/Nep grandiosity. Would seem like a tipping point.

As always, thank you for your insights, Victoria!

Did you see what the X kid said to Trump DURING that Oval Office presser? Below threshold but caught on a hot mic, and certainly caught by Trump (if little else is).

Mini Me said, "You're not the president, you need to go" followed by "I want you to shush your mouth"... Then he picked his nose and wiped it on the Resolute desk. Something's gotta give, re: Uranus/Saturn and Elroy the Hellboy.

Yes. He’s now become the stand-in for Musk’s id.

Great sharing, thank you for bringing your moment of sanity to our hearts. I'm reminded of Erich Fromm's "Escape from Freedom", sure feels like the end game of this strategy. Another message was also "Love is a Verb" frankly the only way left to💕 do love

Wow, it's amazing to imagine what Fromm would have thought about these cultural moments. But then, he always knew that society, in general, was insane. LOL! And thank you for that reminder, Jo-Ann -- love is a verb.

I definitely love when you two get together! Spot on analysis (according to this contrarian).

Thank you, Suzanne. Plugging into Jessica's thought-field is always a boon!

You and Murray together are the perfect bookends.

And I love how you make laughter a part of your videos. It always gets me laughing. And as Winston Churchill once said, "If you can make someone laugh, you give them a little vacation." And goddess knows I need some laughs now.

Beautiful work, you two! Thank you.

Someone mentioned yesterday that I tend to laugh a lot while conversing. I took that as a compliment. There's a part of me that is deeply invested in the times we are living through, but then there's another part of me that has a larger view and understands that so much of this is insignificant. I don't mean that in a way that diminishes the suffering some people are living through now, only that in the larger arc of time, this is one small burp.

I LOVE laughter giving someone a little vacation! Thank you so much!!!

Cycles within cycles... Exactly! I'm not sure how or why I have the gift of perspective, but I'm thankful for it.

I've been sitting with my popcorn for a while now. 😂

Thank you, Angie. It's a pretty wild ride ('round and 'round).

I love that--doing is not helpful if your being is not evolved. For the life of me, I can't feel how Harris was not appealing as the beautiful uplifting Libran and Walz as the down to earth helpful dad figure. And instead we have two Gemini uber-wealthy tricksters, who are going to throw out the baby with the bath water, because it's not their water, in their minds, as they are wealthy enough not to care. It's all a game to them. How half of America identifies with them, I don't know. It's like a video game. Are we really that racist, ADD, and sexist as a country? Maybe we are. By the way, I know tons of educated white folk who voted for the orange stain because they liked the flavour of his disruptive masculine white personality. Brilliant conversation! Thank you
