Episode links for Thursday 9/10:
00:50 – A reminder that Thursday (“Thor’s Day”) is associated with Jupiter. Learn, teach, take a chance – and, maybe, donate to a podcast you like (hint hint)! (To hear more about how the days of the week were named, listen to Episode 3, Alexa, Play "Love the One You're With")
.
4:13 and 5:05 – Most delightful phrase in the English language: “Kitten mosh-pit.”
.
5:50 - ** MOONWATCH ** A somewhat haunting intro, followed by a discussion of today’s Gemini Last Quarter Moon featuring an archaic tome, ancient knowledge, a Sun/Neptune sneak preview, and a missing table leg. This is the time to reflect upon and finish up the matters initiated at the Aug. 18 Leo New Moon.
.
8:20 - We briefly discussed lunar phase families on Episode 41, “Pisces Full Moon and the Yin to Your Yang!” This Last Quarter Moon also concludes the lunar phase family that began with the June 13, 2018 New Moon at 22.44 Gemini. More about the Gemini Moon on Ep. 43 – Podathon Day 2: Into the Void (-of-Course Moon)!
.
For more on lunar phase families, here’s a link (sent to us by alert listener River) to Dietrech Pessin’s article on this subject at Frank Clifford’s website.
.
10:00 - Here’s April’s blog post about how to find this Last Quarter Moon and other transits in your birth chart.
.
11:00 – April’s beat: The Moon in Gemini! Allegations that people with the Moon in air signs are unfeeling…hurts our air sign Moon feelings! (We also discussed the Gemini Moon on Episode 44 – Podathon Day 3: A Mars Retrograde Hump Day!)
.
12:24 – What your Moon sign says about how you process your day and comfort yourself.
.
14:35 – The Moon shadowboxes with Neptune first thing in the morning (5:17 am PDT), so it’s not the best morning for tackling matters that require very clear thinking (or operating heavy machinery!).
.
15:30 – The Moon ends on a sextile aspect to Mars, and lends encouragement to its newly retrograde pal. (We look at Mars retrograde on Episode 44 – Podathon Day 3: A Mars Retrograde Hump Day!)
