looks like a typo? Venus retrogrades in March, not February.
Good catch! Thanks! Will fix.
Hey guys! Mariana from Perú here! I absolutely love your podcast! It is really cool to have a astrological guide for the month in audio, you guys rock! I am just wondering if you could make your comments around other subjects shorter or maybe even in a different recording. It always takes me a long time to find where the astrological guide starts because almost half of the podcast is about your guys and your projects (which I totally respect and support) however, for the general audience I think that astrology is the reason why we listen. Is just a suggestion from an international fan 🙂 Hope you are well! and again congratulations for this podcast is absolutely useful!
Thanks for the feedback Mariana, I appreciate it! I don’t think that we can completely remove some of the personal discussions from the forecast episodes, but from now on I will make sure that I write out some time stamps for different parts of those episodes, that way people can know what time to jump to in the recording if they just want to go straight to the astrology discussion. I had started to do that at one point a few months ago but didn’t keep it up, and I meant to do it in this one after I realized that we talked a lot about personal stuff before getting to the forecast, but then I forgot in the rush to get the episode out before the end of the month. Anyway, this is a good reminder that that is something that I should be doing regularly, so thank you!
There were a couple of significant events that I think aligned with exact configurations that I thought I would share to see what you guys thought. The Mars/Uranus conjunction corresponded with the Oscars this year. If you draw up a chart for 4:23 pm in Hollywood, CA you’ll get Mars conjunct Uranus at 22 degrees 00 minutes Aries and a 22 degreess 03 minutes Leo rising. I thought this was significant considering that the night was defined by the huge kerfuffle over the Best Picture winner being mis-announced and then corrected with a huge confusing widely televised series of events.
The other thing which was more striking to me was the Lunar eclipse in Leo. The evening (PST) of February 10th was when news first broke of the CIA starting to confirm credibility of the infamous dossier about the Trump camp’s conversations with Russia during the campaign. I’m not sure of the exact time the story broke, but I remember staying very in tune to that eclipse for personal reasons, and noticing the story breaking mere hours later. I know that you all have been careful about talking about politics on your show, but I found this to be interesting from a mundane perspective.
As always, such a great show. It’s good to have you back, Kelly!
Congratulations on the book! I hope to purchase it soon. Are they book stores in the Denver metro area that you are selling them at?
Thanks! I’m in the process of applying to have it carried by the Tattered Cover bookstore in Denver. I will also be dropping some copies off at the Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore tomorrow, which recently moved to 2553 S. Colorado Blvd #104. Are there any other stores that you know of that I should contact about carrying it?
On the electional chart, the time is 1:43, not 3:43. Oops, too late!
Thanks for all your work.
Many congratulations on your book.
I will pass on the true Lotus Flower Astrology for the people. These are the new Cardinal, Mutable and Fixed signs according to the Cardinal Shift. These work well, very well. They are synchronized with the entire Lotus Priesthood keys.
Taurus Cardinal
Gemini Fixed
Cancer Mutable
Leo Cardinal
Virgo Fixed
Libra Mutable
Scorpio Cardinal
Sagittarius Fixed
Capricorn Mutable
Aquarius Cardinal
Pisces Fixed
Aries Mutable
These compositions are synchronized to the Mazzaroth, and reveal how to see certain people for whom they are. They are aligned to the Priesthoods of the Lotus Flower. The first three sections here explain how each Lotus composition works. The second set blooms them for all constellations and tribes.

That which is fundamental sees Fundamental, and that which is Mutable sees Mutable.
How does Cardinal see Cardinal
How does Cardinal see Mutable
How does Mutable see Cardinal
Cardinal and mutable can have the hardest time seeing each other. The Lotus Compositions reveal how these see each other both ways. There was an old saying that it takes two to tango. For Cardinal and Mutable to see each other well, and for Cardinal to see Cardinal well, these three compositions will help, as long as they listen to each other.
Issachar/Joseph through Asher/Reuben
(Cardinal and Fixed together can see Fixed and Cardinal together)
Reuben/Simeon through Joseph/Issachar
(Cardinal and Mutable together can see Fixed and Mutable together)
Reuben/Simeon through Benjamin/Zebulun
(Cardinal and Mutable together can see Fixed and Mutable together)
Cardinal has Cardinal, Fixed has Fixed, and Mutable has Mutable.
Cardinal needs Fixed, Fixed needs Mutable, and Mutable needs Cardinal.
Mutable wants Fixed, Fixed wants Cardinal, and Cardinal wants Mutable.
