BROKEN OPEN — Mercury Wants to Talk & Mars Needs to Listen to Decide What This Eclipse Season Heals · Cozy with the Cosmos with Astrologer Sarah Paasch

• 0:00
  Hello, everybody, Welcome back to our weekly astrology podcast
• 0:03
  where we light our candles, we cozy up and we talk all things
• 0:06
  cosmos. I am your host astrologer and
• 0:08
  coach Sarah Posh. This week's episode brings us to
• 0:11
  the midpoint of this eclipse season.
• 0:13
  We are in between the portals of that crazy ass total solar
• 0:17
  eclipse in Leo. And up next is our lunar eclipse
• 0:20
  in Pisces. But this week we've got some
• 0:22
  things to talk about. Literally, Mercury is up to a
• 0:25
  lot in the cosmos this week in the astrology and Mercury might
• 0:28
  be getting some feedback, maybe giving some feedback that
• 0:31
  hopefully can help on the other side of the sky, which is Mars
• 0:35
  squaring Neptune. Mars needs to sober up just a
• 0:37
  little bit. Maybe there's a little bit of
• 0:39
  needing forgiveness, some maybe repair work might be coming up
• 0:43
  this week after that eclipse, Especially if that eclipse did
• 0:46
  for anybody else what it did for me, which is caused some
• 0:49
  exposure and rupture points in relationships, which ultimately,
• 0:53
  in true eclipse fashion, actually uncovered the chance
• 0:55
  for a deeper healing, a deeper understanding and perspective,
• 0:58
  especially when it came to child work.
• 1:00
  No surprise there. We were talking about that in
• 1:02
  the episode on this total solar eclipse in Leo.
• 1:04
  So check that out if you haven't already.
• 1:06
  If maybe you're feeling the feels, if you were going through
• 1:08
  any of your own crazy eclipse ruptures, exposures and healing
• 1:12
  moments, check out that video on the channel.
• 1:14
  And also while I've got you, while you're here, if you could
• 1:16
  go ahead, subscribe to the channel, turn your notifications
• 1:18
  on, maybe like this video if you're enjoying any of this
• 1:21
  content. All of that really supports the
• 1:23
  channel to grow. So I really appreciate it, you
• 1:24
  guys. Anytime you guys leave comments
• 1:26
  and I really appreciate the song ads.
• 1:28
  We had a couple song ads in last week's videos.
• 1:30
  They've been added to our setlist.
• 1:31
  So thank you, everybody's spotlight to the community for
• 1:34
  participating. I so appreciate it.
• 1:36
  And it's not totally surprising to me that my eclipse rupture
• 1:40
  exposure repair story has to do with fathers and father healing
• 1:44
  as well. When we talk about Leo, when we
• 1:46
  talk about the Sun, the archetype of the sun oftentimes
• 1:49
  has to do with people in authority, also men and fathers,
• 1:53
  anybody that's in some sort of position of leadership.
• 1:56
  And so I feel like that idea of providership, of protection, all
• 2:00
  of these things were coming up for the solar eclipse for me,
• 2:03
  and also huge heart openings. And I think that's because at
• 2:06
  the same time as this eclipse we were talking about in the other
• 2:09
  video last week, how Venus is now in Libra, she's in dignity.
• 2:13
  And there's a grand air trine happening between Pluto and
• 2:16
  Aquarius, Venus in Libra and Uranus in Gemini.
• 2:19
  And so the channel for the heart felt so opened and it's almost
• 2:23
  like the eclipse came through. It's like sucker punched the
• 2:26
  part of the heart that didn't see something.
• 2:29
  Clearly it wasn't being named. It wasn't being exposed.
• 2:32
  But there has been like this full exposure that I think has
• 2:35
  happened with this first solar eclipse in Leo.
• 2:37
  So we'll stay tuned to see what happens with the Pisces eclipse.
• 2:40
  I have a feeling if it's been emotional for you, it is not
• 2:43
  over yet, babe. I think this week even is
• 2:45
  potentially going to be kind of emotional.
• 2:47
  So let's talk about that this week.
• 2:48
  On one hand, there's some really fun things happening with
• 2:51
  Mercury. Mercury's in Leo and on
• 2:53
  Thursday, Mercury's going to finally make that exact sextile
• 2:56
  to Venus. They've been holding hands, kind
• 2:58
  of edging as, shall we, we say the sextile for the past few
• 3:02
  weeks, but now it's going to be coming into exact.
• 3:03
  So always good for communication.
• 3:05
  Also like Leo and Libra, it feels fun, it feels sexy.
• 3:08
  It feels like your best friend, hype queen energies like
• 3:12
  somebody is here to hype you up. Somebody is here to have some
• 3:15
  honest conversation. But also with Venus in Libra,
• 3:17
  there's a capacity to see both sides.
• 3:19
  There's potentially just enough patience and understanding and
• 3:22
  listening and mirroring for that Mercury and Leo to actually hear
• 3:26
  itself and be able to communicate in a way that brings
• 3:29
  us some, like I said, repair after potentially any eclipse
• 3:32
  rupture or exposures. Don't be afraid to have those
• 3:35
  tough conversations because this astrology is really supporting
• 3:37
  that. And it's like the best weather
• 3:38
  you can have for not avoiding difficult, uncomfortable
• 3:41
  conversations. And also just to know, side
• 3:44
  note, did you guys know that the moon is void, of course, for
• 3:47
  like almost 3 days and the days following both the solar eclipse
• 3:50
  and Leo and the upcoming lunar eclipse and Pisces?
• 3:53
  That's so interesting to me because literally we're
• 3:56
  eclipsing the light of the sun. That's what just happened in the
• 3:58
  solar eclipse by the moon. And then the moon's just like
• 4:01
  going offline. Like the moon's just
• 4:03
  unavailable. The moon's like, I'm not going
• 4:04
  to have any service for the next few days, you guys.
• 4:06
  So don't try to call me, Don't ask me what's going on.
• 4:09
  And we're like what? Like you just eclipsed the sun
• 4:13
  and you're just not going to be available to answer the call to
• 4:15
  have some conversations and maybe tell us what the hell is
• 4:18
  going on. The moon's like, no, figure it
• 4:19
  out, man. I'll be back.
• 4:20
  I need to go for a little vacation.
• 4:22
  So I think that's just really interesting.
• 4:24
  And I also think it points to this invitation for some
• 4:28
  internal reflective integration time after these eclipses, that
• 4:32
  word exposure, it's like whatever is coming out or being
• 4:34
  exposed, whatever is coming out of hiding, whatever healing is
• 4:37
  happening, whether that's heart opening or past trauma healing,
• 4:41
  like whatever it is that we're processing and we're integrating
• 4:44
  this void. Of course, Moon is giving this
• 4:47
  permission for all of us to like, just take some space.
• 4:50
  And you don't have to have all the answers.
• 4:52
  You don't even have to have all the conversations if you don't
• 4:54
  want to or you're not ready to. I mean, with this week's
• 4:57
  astrology, I would definitely say if you need to talk
• 5:00
  something through finding the right person or having that
• 5:03
  really constructive conversation is really going to be available,
• 5:06
  but not necessarily to find full resolution.
• 5:09
  I guess it's what I'm trying to say and more so looking for a
• 5:12
  deeper resolution and clarity within your own processing, your
• 5:16
  own integration. OK, so I digress, let's move
• 5:18
  forwards, which is the next thing.
• 5:20
  Mercury is up to Saturday, August 15th.
• 5:22
  The Moon is going to enter into Libra.
• 5:24
  So hanging out with Venus, kind of picking back up and carrying
• 5:27
  forward that sextile from Mercury and Venus earlier on
• 5:30
  Thursday. And now Mercury is going to
• 5:32
  conjunct Jupiter in Leo at 10°. And this is really important to
• 5:36
  pay attention to because later in this lunar cycle, we are
• 5:39
  building towards this fire trine between Jupiter and Leo and
• 5:42
  Saturn in Aries and Mercury. Right now, this week, it's going
• 5:45
  to cross this fire trine. And that means that it's going
• 5:47
  to gather some Intel, have some conversations, maybe ask some
• 5:51
  questions. And that's kind of like a
• 5:53
  perfect setup. It's almost like this is our
• 5:54
  data collection, our conversation having, we're
• 5:57
  starting to stimulate some movement of our ideas.
• 6:01
  And when we're talking about a fire trine between these heavy
• 6:03
  hitters, Jupiter and Saturn, there's some real creative power
• 6:07
  in force here. There is some real stability
• 6:10
  that could be resourcing or some sense of really solidifying your
• 6:14
  confidence and your ideas, your confidence in your creative
• 6:17
  projects, like whatever is coming up in those fire houses
• 6:20
  in your life. Maybe it's even relationships or
• 6:22
  with love. There's something about really
• 6:25
  embodiment between Jupiter and Saturn at any point, but in
• 6:28
  these fire signs, it is like a chance to embody our confidence,
• 6:32
  embody our creative life force, our creative agency, and to
• 6:36
  embody like truly living and resourcing, living from the
• 6:40
  heart. So that's a big supportive
• 6:41
  transit that's coming up. And this week with Mercury
• 6:43
  crossing that trine between Jupiter and Saturn, I want you
• 6:46
  to think of this like somebody has secret Intel and they're
• 6:50
  passing notes in a hallway giving you a heads up of what's
• 6:53
  to come. But it's like good news.
• 6:55
  There's like foreshadowing or maybe even invitation giving or
• 6:58
  maybe introduction or coming into some sort of solution,
• 7:02
  finding that you weren't thinking about before.
• 7:04
  Thinking about something in a way that puts you in the right
• 7:07
  direction to be set up to fully receive the support again of
• 7:10
  this stabilization power that's happening and building right now
• 7:14
  in our sky between Jupiter and Saturn.
• 7:16
  So just take a note, like what is going on for you creatively?
• 7:19
  Where are you at in your creative process?
• 7:20
  What's going on for you in love and relationship?
• 7:23
  What conversations are coming up?
• 7:24
  What developments or turning points are happening?
• 7:27
  What did that total solar eclipse in Leo expose, maybe
• 7:30
  even sever an end? There was some major new
• 7:33
  beginning happening at that solar eclipse and it was because
• 7:36
  something was eclipse. So what was eclipse?
• 7:38
  And now what new fertile space are you sitting in, maybe even a
• 7:42
  fertile space of clarity? And what do you want to do with
• 7:44
  that? What do you want Jupiter and
• 7:46
  Saturn to help you build, to make real?
• 7:49
  If you could have a conversation with these guys and you could
• 7:51
  have a specific request list of what it is that lights you up,
• 7:55
  what it is that you want to create, what it is that you want
• 7:57
  to happen, and how you want to feel in the making of that
• 8:00
  magic, Now is your moment. Use this weekend's Mercury in
• 8:03
  Leo that is activating this, our messenger of the gods.
• 8:06
  Tell Hermes to let them know, get some clarity.
• 8:08
  Write it down, talk to a friend, say things out loud.
• 8:12
  Don't sleep on this opportunity. Write them down and say them out
• 8:15
  loud. And so all the good Mercury's up
• 8:17
  to weekends, pretty chill, but it's eclipse season and Mars is
• 8:21
  in Cancer and Mars in Cancer is squaring Neptune Aries.
• 8:26
  So when we talk about Mars, Neptune, there's always this
• 8:29
  potential of being disillusioned by our anger, our Mars agency
• 8:35
  and willpower. Our desire body can actually get
• 8:38
  a little bit warped. And oftentimes is when it's in
• 8:41
  that square or hard aspect of the planet Neptune, especially
• 8:44
  Neptune in Aries. So this is a little bit of check
• 8:47
  yourself. This is a little bit of a moment
• 8:48
  to say, OK, I need to slow down. I need to see what it is that's
• 8:52
  really driving me emotionally right now.
• 8:55
  Where is that coming from? Am I taking something too
• 8:57
  personally or am I making this too personal to the point that
• 9:01
  it's fogging my capacity to remain objective and clear and
• 9:05
  also in aligned action? This is not a moment to push and
• 9:09
  force things forward. The more that we push, we are
• 9:11
  just swimming upstream With Neptune, this is more about
• 9:14
  trust and surrendering into the current and the flow of what's
• 9:19
  naturally happening, what's naturally moving.
• 9:21
  And in order to do that, that also means we might need to move
• 9:24
  some of the clutter, some emotional Cancerian receipts,
• 9:28
  some baggage that we you're carrying with us.
• 9:30
  It is actually the very thing that's slowing us down.
• 9:32
  It's the very thing we need to let go of in order to create
• 9:36
  that space that we can actually move, like I said, with this
• 9:39
  river, with this current of the things that are naturally
• 9:41
  flowing. So in my opinion, this is a
• 9:43
  little bit of a get out of your own way.
• 9:45
  And also don't be afraid to be humbled.
• 9:47
  Don't be afraid to be humbled by the need to rest, by the need to
• 9:50
  slow down. By then you need to ask
• 9:52
  questions or maybe to admit that you've made a mistake or there's
• 9:56
  something that you do need to repair.
• 9:58
  Maybe you are projecting your anger, maybe there was some
• 10:01
  misplaced conflict energy that Mars is starting to wake up and
• 10:05
  shake up and have a reality check, like whether that's
• 10:07
  pushing other people to get your way or pushing yourself at the
• 10:11
  expense of your own body and your feelings and your needs.
• 10:14
  So this is a checkpoint. And also with this energy with
• 10:17
  Mars, Neptune the same day is when Mercury is going to be
• 10:19
  making the trine to Saturn and Venus is going to be perfecting
• 10:22
  A sextile to Jupiter. So again, there's like these two
• 10:25
  things happening at once. On one hand, we have this whole
• 10:27
  beautiful setup with Mercury and Jupiter and Leo and the fire
• 10:31
  trine is Saturn in Aries and Venus making that really sweet
• 10:34
  sexy sextile to Jupiter and Leo. There is a weaving of this
• 10:38
  tapestry between these fire trines and Venus in Libra that
• 10:42
  are very, very supportive. And simultaneously at the same
• 10:45
  time, Mars in Cancer is like drunk and confused and not
• 10:49
  seeing clearly and getting hit by this square to Neptune in
• 10:52
  Aries. So what does that tell us?
• 10:54
  To me, that's like, this is all about vantage point.
• 10:57
  This is all about perspective. This is all about getting out
• 11:00
  side of our own personal, you know, box of our mind, our
• 11:03
  perspective, the limitations of our own feelings, assuming that
• 11:07
  our feelings are facts or that there's only room for one person
• 11:11
  to be right versus wrong. Like to me, this astrology is
• 11:14
  saying that Mars needs to admit that Mars doesn't have it all
• 11:17
  together, doesn't know everything.
• 11:18
  Might benefit quite a lot from just asking and receiving a
• 11:22
  little bit of help from somebody else and maybe even just taking
• 11:26
  a break, taking a pause and not being afraid to, like I said,
• 11:28
  take that step back. Taking a step back from anything
• 11:31
  that just feels really emotionally charged or like it's
• 11:34
  kind of saturating our perspective and our agency in
• 11:38
  this moment. So the lovers, the dreamers and
• 11:41
  the resters, these are the people that are going to make
• 11:44
  the most out of the astrology this week.
• 11:45
  And also the people willing to talk about their feelings, to
• 11:48
  talk through things, to ask questions and to stay in
• 11:51
  conversation with other people to stay connected.
• 11:54
  So let's just call this the Week of All is Fair and love and war.
• 11:59
  And actually, I did actually actually Google this because I
• 12:00
  was like, where does it come from?
• 12:02
  Or like, why do we say that? So I'm going to read you this
• 12:03
  little bitty that I got offline. I just googled all is fair in
• 12:06
  love and war. And I got this from Google.
• 12:09
  So it says all is fair in love and war means that basic rules,
• 12:12
  kindness and human decency still matter.
• 12:14
  And even when things get hard, when passion or conflict takes
• 12:17
  over, we can still choose to protect our core values instead
• 12:20
  of using a win at all costs mindset, which I don't know if
• 12:23
  you remember, but like my bells just go off when I hear that
• 12:27
  last part. When it all costs, when at all
• 12:29
  costs. Do you remember the Five of
• 12:31
  Swords? Anybody, anybody that's Pluto
• 12:33
  and Aquarius right now. Go back and watch that tarot
• 12:35
  video. I'm telling you, it was so good.
• 12:36
  But this energy came up in every single one of those episodes in
• 12:39
  the Basket series with the human design reader as well as the
• 12:42
  Aquarius full moon, which also might not be a bad thing to go
• 12:45
  watch that horoscope and see where you're at with all that.
• 12:47
  But what I'm saying is that this week is kind of testing that to
• 12:50
  the Max. It's putting an amplifier and a
• 12:53
  spotlight, shall we say, on some of these potential extreme
• 12:57
  polarizations and some of that toxic when it all cost energy.
• 13:02
  Don't forget Pluto's a judgment card.
• 13:04
  So you just got to stay in your lane.
• 13:05
  You got to stay in integrity and lean into the astrology with
• 13:08
  Venus, Jupiter and Mercury that can be resourced and leveraged
• 13:12
  to help us maintain this clear line of sight and this open
• 13:16
  receptive, trusting heart. And then right around the corner
• 13:18
  of this week and whatever comes up and whenever we work through,
• 13:21
  we're just preparing. We're getting ready for that
• 13:23
  next Pisces lunar eclipse that's coming up.
• 13:25
  So drop in the comments below. Tell me, how is the Leo eclipse
• 13:29
  for you? If you haven't already, hit the
• 13:31
  like button, subscribe to the channel, hang out in the
• 13:33
  community, stay a little while, stay cozy, stay cool.
• 13:36
  Let's stay chill together. Let's be chill and cozy and
• 13:39
  kind. Ah, fucking all the unkindness
• 13:42
  that was exposed during that Leo eclipse.
• 13:44
  What was exposed for you? Drop your rising sign.
• 13:46
  I'd love to hear. And also, I almost forgot to
• 13:49
  give you my songs for this week, but don't worry, I remembered
• 13:53
  and I'm just going to list them off.
• 13:54
  I had so many good songs this week.
• 13:55
  So you can kind of take into consideration everything we
• 13:58
  talked about with this astrology and all of the vibes.
• 14:01
  And I'll read those songs for you.
• 14:02
  And again, all of this is linked below this episode in the
• 14:05
  description for that Spotify playlist where you can hear all
• 14:08
  the songs, even the ones I'm not mentioning today.
• 14:10
  So we've got Science by Dead Mouse and it's a piano version.
• 14:13
  The song is so fucking gorgeous. It's like all of the heart
• 14:16
  healing, heart opening. It's it's beautiful.
• 14:19
  It's really fucking beautiful. Listen to that with someone you
• 14:21
  love or maybe yourself in a state of love and let yourself
• 14:24
  maybe have a good cry on that one.
• 14:26
  Then we've got for some of the Mars in Cancer stuff that's
• 14:28
  coming up, an honest mistake by the bravery.
• 14:31
  So it's pretty obvious. But the lyrics in the song, some
• 14:34
  of them say don't look at me that way.
• 14:35
  It was an honest mistake. Sometimes I forget I'm still
• 14:38
  awake. I fuck up and say these things
• 14:39
  out loud. My old friend, I swear I never
• 14:42
  meant for this. I never meant don't look at me
• 14:44
  that way. It was an honest mistake.
• 14:46
  Don't be afraid to put that song on and admit if you were wrong
• 14:52
  and to like forgive somebody if they do that for you.
• 14:54
  And the next song is the classic, the Goo Goo Dolls name.
• 14:57
  And specifically, I want to read you this from the song.
• 15:01
  It says we don't belong to no one.
• 15:03
  That's a shame. You could hide beside me maybe
• 15:05
  for a while. And I won't tell no one your
• 15:07
  name. Scars are souvenirs.
• 15:09
  You never lose. The past is never far.
• 15:11
  Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
• 15:13
  Did you get to be a star? And don't it make you sad to
• 15:16
  know that life is more than who we are.
• 15:18
  You grew up way too fast. And now there's nothing to
• 15:21
  believe. I guess to me, this song and
• 15:23
  this week is like the Leo Eclipse cleanup crew vibe.
• 15:25
  Like, that's that's what this is giving me is like, OK.
• 15:28
  Yeah. That really speaks to what
• 15:30
  happened and what this eclipse fucking brought up.
• 15:32
  Let's sing it, let's process it, let's let it go.
• 15:35
  And then the final two songs are Line of Sight by Odessa.
• 15:38
  I mean, to me, this is Mercury in Leo giving us these lines of
• 15:41
  sight by aspecting and activating Venus in Libra,
• 15:44
  Jupiter in Leo, and Saturn in Aries.
• 15:46
  So pay attention to these new lines of sight.
• 15:49
  Listen to that song. I mean, Odessa is like one of my
• 15:51
  Alzheimer's, so I love that song all the time.
• 15:54
  And then finally, we've got a classic Fleetwood Mac.
• 15:57
  But this is an electric pop cover of the song Dreams by our
• 16:02
  Vivian Chi I'm gonna read you some of the lyrics from the
• 16:05
  original Fleetwood Mac that she sings in this beautiful song.
• 16:08
  She's got a beautiful voice and the stillness of remembering
• 16:11
  what you had and what you lost and what you had and what you
• 16:14
  lost. Players only love you when
• 16:16
  they're playing, say, women. They will come and they will go.
• 16:20
  When the rain washes you clean, you'll know.
• 16:22
  You'll know. And so Neptune is going to wash
• 16:25
  us clean and give us clarity and something to know.
• 16:29
  Maybe not everything, but something before we get to that
• 16:31
  Pisces eclipse. So pay attention this week,
• 16:33
  listen and stay open to new lines of sight, lines of
• 16:37
  understanding and give yourself that permission if you need it,
• 16:40
  if you want it, if you crave it even a little bit, to have that
• 16:43
  big pause, that big rest and maybe be like the moon, go a
• 16:46
  little void, of course. Otherwise, hopefully I will see
• 16:49
  you back here next week for our next eclipse and the party in
• 16:52
  Pisces. I heard everybody see you next
• 16:54
  time. Bye.
• 16:55
  Peace out, Boo. But you, I might just actually
• 16:58
  include that. OK, bye.
