Novis Carmen Turner shot. Welcome Carmen, Hi, how are you. I'm
1:45
wonderful, Thank you in yourself. I'm doing really well. I can't believe
1:49
it's already the end of August. Time flies absolutely, yes, Carmen.
1:55
Please share with our listeners your early path and the event that opened your nascination
2:00
and pursuit of astrology and all things mystical. Yes. So when I was
2:06
sixteen, I always had these dreams that would happen, and no one could
2:12
really explain it to me, and I was felt really different from my family
2:15
and my friends and everyone in my life. And one night, when I
2:20
was sixteen, I woke up and saw a glowing ball of light in my
2:23
doorway and I couldn't move, I couldn't scream, I had no voice,
2:29
and I just watched this orb of light for hours, it seemed, and
2:34
finally I was able to yell. It's like it released my voice, and
2:38
I yelled from my mother and she saw it too. She looked at my
2:42
doorway and saw it too. And so that experience number one changed my life
2:47
because it was I've never had anything like that happened right at that time,
2:51
and it really made me interested in angels and spirit guides and all of these
2:55
mystical things. And that's when I bought my first astrology book and I started
3:00
teaching myself astrology when I was sixteen, and then by age nineteen, I
3:05
was doing consultations and charts for my friends, family, people in college and
3:10
just for fun as a hobby because I loved it. And I was a
3:14
social work major psychology, so I wanted to be a counselor. And I
3:17
just realized that this toll of psychology is a map of the soul and it
3:22
can really show everything about yourself, and it validated why I was the way
3:28
I was, and so that's what really got me on the path of spirituality
3:31
and a psychological astrology and using it as a tool to help others. Now,
3:38
did you ever determine or recognize what that orb was and the message it
3:43
was delivering to you? You know, I never really did, but I
3:47
do think that it was one of my spirit guides or an angel or something,
3:53
because after that I became even more intuitive. So I feel like that
4:00
experience changed me and I was even more into it I if that makes any
4:03
sense, and I would dream things more. I started having more dreams that
4:09
would happen, and just more feelings and more interest, right, and all
4:13
of these spiritual things like why am I here? I'm a soul, what's
4:16
my purpose? You know? So that really awakened me in a way.
4:20
I always was very open and very sensitive to energy and things anyway, since
4:26
I was a little kid, but that experience made me want to learn more
4:30
because it was definitely something I can't explain, right, and uh, And
4:34
I was just happy that that I had a witness, right, that my
4:38
mother saw it, because she often would say, it's your imagination, go
4:42
back to sleep, right, and she would kind of just say, oh,
4:45
here she goes again, waking me up in the night with a dream,
4:46
right, And that night she saw it too, and she said,
4:49
I have no idea what that was, and it kind of scared her.
4:53
And I wasn't scared of it. What it was was the fear of the
4:57
unknown. And I wish, you know now I would get up and try
5:00
to go over to it, but like I said, I was frozen,
5:01
you know. I couldn't move, I couldn't I couldn't yell, I had
5:04
no voice, and I just watched. But it was interesting because the only
5:10
thing I had control of was my mind, and I remember just thinking and
5:14
praying, please don't have it come in my room, please don't. And
5:16
it never did. It just stayed right in the doorsill and then it would
5:19
take off and come right back. And it was about it was bigger than
5:23
a softball, just a little bit bigger, and it was translucent like watery
5:28
yellow white light, and it was really really pretty. I mean, now
5:31
that I look back, I don't know why I was so afraid. I
5:34
think it was just the unknown, you know, absolutely. You know.
5:39
It's interesting. I grew up in the nineteen fifties and I had a number
5:43
of experiences back then. I won't go into them now, but I was
5:46
also labeled as a child with an overactive imagination. Yeah. And my mom,
5:51
my mom, who passed away in twenty twenty Januior or twenty twenty.
5:56
The months before she passed, I would have lunch with her every every weekend,
6:00
rather nice. And I asked her, I said, you know,
6:03
you never believed me when I shared these experiences as a child. I said,
6:08
you never experienced anything strange, did you? And then she said not
6:11
really, except for the time and the hair on the back and I stood
6:15
up, and she opened up to me about her experiences and finally confirmed for
6:18
me shortly before her passing, all the things that I had experienced as a
6:21
child. So I find that as a blessing and a gift from her before
6:26
her passing. So yeah, absolutely, absolutely, that's really amazing. You
6:30
know, it's interesting you bring that up because I think sometimes our parents don't
6:34
share things with us always. And I also found out from my mother about
6:41
that was probably five years after this glowing orb situation, that she had something
6:46
very unexplained happen to her that she it really bothered her so much she got
6:51
teary eyed, and in the end she happened to tell me one day,
6:56
I said, how could you have not told me this right all these years?
7:00
And uh, she said, I didn't think anyone would believe me.
7:01
And but something happened to my mother where she she woke up in the night
7:05
when she was nineteen, and she saw someone was sitting on the beds on
7:12
the side of the bed, and she she knew she was awake, and
7:15
she just gets upset talking about it. But and and and whatever it was
7:19
turned and looked at her, and it scared her right it was, you
7:24
know, like a white face with the with the hood kind of things.
7:27
So she and when she she didn't even want to talk about it to this
7:30
day. But it's interesting because right after that she found out she was pregnant
7:34
with me, and she never told me this, and I got like the
7:38
same thing. The hair went up on the I said, well, oh
7:40
my gosh, maybe that's why I'm strange, right, and I have all
7:44
these things. But she she never really knew what it was. And my
7:47
grandmother told me that she slept with the light on for like a long time
7:53
after that because she was still living at home at the time and my parents
7:56
had me when they were young, and so right right about three months later
7:59
she found out she was predatet with me, so about three months predit.
8:03
So it is interesting and I think maybe it was symbolic a change, you
8:07
know, your life is going to change kind of thing. And did she
8:11
really see something in her mind? Yes she did. And so I've always
8:16
been open minded that I'm not going to judge someone else's experiences because I've had
8:20
things happen. Until you experience something, you really don't know, and I'm
8:24
not going to tell someone oh no, that didn't happen to you. I
8:26
always believe people, because no one knows better than yourself, you know when
8:31
you have these experiences. Absolutely, And for her parents who are listening to
8:35
us today, I will emphasize, and I'm sure you'll join and sharing with
8:39
me that if your children start sharing things with you, please listen to them
8:43
and don't dismiss what they have to say because it's really important for their growth
8:48
and understanding. Yes, definitely, now you're calling. As a clinical social
8:54
worker and psychotherapist, has also embraced working with victims of trauma and sexual assault
9:00
from more than twenty five years. What are the skills and gifts you share
9:03
with them and what do they need the most? Yes, so you know
9:07
the thing, the thing that has helped me the most. I think work
9:13
with people that are in a crisis is just being a calm presence and using
9:20
my energy. I really believe in energy, and I believe that astrology is
9:24
energy and our personality our chart shows what kind of energy we have. And
9:28
so I think one of my personality traits is I'm good in a crisis,
9:33
so I'm able to, you know, kind of take charge, jump in
9:37
and be very calm and compassionate and listen and just kind of nurture, you
9:43
know, people in their hardest time, and so you know, you don't
9:48
even have to say anything at times, you just are there with someone,
9:50
to be present with someone, and they know that you support them fully.
9:54
And so that's what I've always tried to do, is to be present with
9:58
someone, listen and let them know they're not alone and help them. And
10:03
you know, a lot of times when there's a crisis, and I've been
10:07
through, you know, even in my personal life, when things happen,
10:11
I naturally am able to kind of react and jump in. And that's my
10:16
birth chart. You know, I have an aries moon, So I do
10:18
well in a crisis. And I learned that about myself, and it's in
10:24
the eighth House, which is all about trauma and healing and all of these
10:28
intense subjects right and mystical things, And so I'm able to really accept anything
10:35
that anyone tells me. You know, I've always drawn people that want to
10:39
share their very deep, dark secrets with me. And even when I was
10:43
in the grocery store, people would come up to me and just share really
10:46
deep things with me about losing a loved one and all of these things and
10:50
I would just listen. And that's kind of what led me to be a
10:52
social worker really, is that I thought, well, maybe there's something about
10:56
me that I can help people. And so, you know, because I
10:58
always would have to people come up to me. So I became a social
11:01
worker because of that. And and nothing shocks me, you know, I've
11:05
heard so many stories and I and I don't judge. And I think one
11:09
of the skills of being a counselor is to well, my opinion is that
11:16
when you've been through things yourself, it makes you a better counselor and and
11:20
a stronger you know, able to empathize with people because you know people under
11:26
People know if you get it right, if you understand what they've been through,
11:31
because they can sense if you're uncomfortable with what they're telling you, they're
11:35
not going to feel open to share. And if they know that you understand
11:39
because you know, maybe you've been in the same situation as them, or
11:43
they just feel that you understand, right, that makes all the difference in
11:46
helping people open up and share their their wounds. So to speak with people,
11:52
Am I your long lost brother because we're the same person. I love
11:56
this, we must be I'll have to look at your I bet we have
12:00
something similar in our astrology chart for sure. You know it's interesting. One
12:05
of the things that has graced my life. In addition, I've spent forty
12:09
four years in business, but I also had a spiritual calling and I became
12:11
an ordained interfaith minister back in the nineteen nineties, and part of my spiritual
12:16
coaching work has been listening to those who bring come to me with their trauma,
12:20
with their problems, with their worries, with their grief. And one
12:24
of the gifts that I've been given is to share my experiences through poetry,
12:28
and I wrote a poem called the Gift of True Listening. May I share
12:33
that with you? Oh, I would love to hear that. They're often
12:35
are words that need to be heard without cutting in or positioning. Your heart
12:41
will be stirred and compassion conferred. As you offer the gift of true listening,
12:48
you'll create sacred space while bestowing great grace with love all around you glistening.
12:54
It may be any place or a soul you embrace. As you offer
12:58
the gift of true listening, So gift someone near you by saying I hear
13:03
you lifting them up with your christening, and one day, when you're due,
13:09
you'll be heard too, receiving the gift of true listening. Oh that's
13:13
beautiful. I love that. Thank you, Thank you so much. So
13:18
how does your work in astrology interweave with your clinical practice? Sure? So,
13:26
you know, I really have two jobs, you know, I always
13:30
have had two two jobs. I've always done my astrological work and then I
13:35
have my normal so to speak, social work job, right, and but
13:41
I live this, you know, I this has become a part of who
13:45
I am. I talk astrology and everything I do because I believe that it
13:50
you know, it's it's in ancient cultures, it's in the Bible, it's
13:54
it's it's a toll of self awareness. And so I use it to get
13:58
along people, right, to understand my coworkers, my clients, people that
14:03
I deal with day to day and my normal job. And I see these
14:07
patterns right in their personality, and I'm able to identify that energy or I'll
14:11
know, oh, their sun sign is Scorpio, that's why they're this way,
14:16
or they're Leo right, and I'll see these strengths right. Sometimes you
14:22
click with some people sometimes you don't. And I know that, and I'm
14:26
very good at understanding people, and so I use astrology in my everyday life,
14:33
in my work and team building right to understand people that I work with
14:37
all the time. And it really helps me get along with people and and
14:43
understand them even if we might be different, to put myself in their shoes.
14:46
And so I live this, you know, I live these things I've
14:50
studied and try to apply them, you know, in my everyday life.
14:54
So everyone that I that knows me now in my normal job, they know
14:58
that I write books and that I'm into this now because I'm kind of more
15:03
out there. I used to be more behind the scenes, right, more
15:05
private about it. But they know because they'll say, oh, it's a
15:09
full moon or you know, Mercury's and retrograde, so everybody, you know,
15:13
miscommunication might happen, you know, and they and they know that I'm
15:16
right, and they'll laugh, will say, Carmen, is it a full
15:18
moon? I'm like, yes, you know, And these are people that
15:20
don't believe in astrology, right, but they're starting to open their mind and
15:24
they're like, Carmen, They're you're right, there's something to this. And
15:28
I explain to him it's a science. You know. The moon affects the
15:31
tides of the ocean. Of course, it affects our emotional nature because we're
15:35
our body's mainly water, and so so it heightens our emotions, you know,
15:39
because that's what the moon's sign is, our emotional nature and our inner
15:43
nature and our intuition and all of that stuff. So yeah, I definitely
15:48
live it, and I'm definitely now out there so to speak that people are
15:52
starting to know that, you know, this is a big part of my
15:54
life. And I mean it took a long time for me to feel comfortable
15:58
really being open with everyone about what I do, you know, especially in
16:03
my family, because I even had some cousins that had no idea that I
16:07
did this work, and they didn't know I published books. And when they
16:11
found out, they were kind of like, why didn't you tell us.
16:12
I'm like, well, I just didn't know if you'd be open, because
16:15
you know, I was raising the Midwest and that's the Bible Belt, you
16:19
know. I was raised Baptist, but I always consider myself a Christian astrologer,
16:26
and and I've wrote a lot of books about astrology and the Bible.
16:29
I have a little ebook out there of articles that I published, and I
16:33
do believe that there's so much more that we don't know. And I just
16:37
know that this tool I've been able to help people in such a deep way
16:41
in a very quick amount of time. You know, where just normal talk
16:45
therapy doesn't get to the root of things and deeply affect someone like astrology does.
16:52
And so I use it as a toll of validation, and it really
16:56
just validates what people already know about themselves. That's all I'm doing is you
17:00
know, I'm not telling them anything they don't already know. I'm just talking
17:04
about their personality and their gifts, their strengths, the careers, you know,
17:07
their relationship compatibilities and all these things to help guide them. And so
17:15
I use it in my everyday life, yeah, with people and family and
17:19
everyone, because I believe it's energy. Absolutely. You mentioned your upbringing and
17:25
your Christian faith. You offered an article that I read entitled Astrology from a
17:30
Christians Perspective. Now one might think that astrology and Christian faith are mutually exclusive,
17:36
but you eloquently express they are not. Please share with our listeners.
17:41
Yeah, So the hardest thing I think for a lot of Christians, especially
17:48
Protestants, I feel it more Catholic people that are Catholic or have been more
17:52
open minded to astrology as far as approaching me or writing me right and reaching
17:56
out. I think because you know, there's so many verses in the Bible
18:02
that people focus in on. There's just like one or one or two verses
18:07
that may seem a little negative about astrology. But when you really look at
18:11
the Bible and totality, the whole Bible is full of astrological symbolism. And
18:18
I always I always went with what did Jesus say? You know, that
18:22
was my thing? What did Jesus teach? And if you look in the
18:26
New Testament, you know he even says, you know, the old way
18:27
is gone. The New Testament is these are the two you know, the
18:30
Golden rule. These are the two things I want you to do. Love
18:33
one another, and love God and so and serve people, treat people they
18:38
want to be treated well. Even in the Book of Genesis it says God
18:41
created the heavens and the earth, He created the stars and the planets and
18:45
and everything. Because that's tropical astrology. So it goes back to ancient Jewish
18:52
culture. Ancient times where even on the money they have the symbols of the
18:56
zodiac on the floor of the synagogues and churches all over the world. I
19:00
have seen astrological symbols, and I thought, why are the four fixed signs
19:04
of the zodiac in these Catholic churches all over the world. And there's there's
19:10
a reason, because I believe that it used to be a part of the
19:14
Christian teachings. I mean, I don't you know, I think when the
19:18
Nicean Creed happened, and and and there's so many books that were written at
19:22
that time that we we don't we don't have. I go by some quotes
19:26
in the Bible that Jesus said, he said, there shall be signs of
19:30
the sun, moon and stars upon my return. And I thought, oh
19:33
my gosh, why would he say that. I mean, if we're not
19:37
supposed to be looking at the sky and know that it's important, why would
19:41
he say that to the disciples? Right? And so I started analyzing this
19:45
and studying it. Right, And I was a religion minor. I had
19:48
in philosophy, So I took all the you know, new tests of all
19:52
the classes in philosophy and love those classes I probably would have liked it.
19:57
Be got a master's in philosophy, but I didn't think I could learn all
20:02
the different languages like Latin and all the different things, so I thought it'd
20:06
be too hard. But I've always loved religion and learning about world religions and
20:10
all the different things. But I think the biggest thing is that you know
20:14
it's in the Book of Revelation. The four fixed signs of the zodiac are
20:19
in Catholic churches all over the world, even here in Saint Louis, Missouri,
20:22
where I close to where I live, the Saint Louis Cathedral. There's
20:26
the face of the bull, which is Taurus. It's polar opposite is Scorpio.
20:30
The eagle. The ancient symbol was the eagle, the head of eagle.
20:33
And then there's the lion which is Leo, and the water the man,
20:37
the water bearing man. The face of a man is Aquarius. And
20:41
those are the four star constellations that are the fixed signs of the zodiac that
20:47
are always in the sky, opposing each other at all times. And I'm
20:49
like, why are they They're in the Book of Revelation. Why though,
20:53
right? And I would ask this, and and then the other really interesting
20:57
thing, you know we talk about you know, Christianity was created or you
21:02
know, came about during the pisce and age and Christianities. You know,
21:07
the symbol is the fish, right, and Pisces rules spirituality and all of
21:14
the mysticism, connection to God and you know all of those things, and
21:18
Pisces is the two fish. You know, that's their symbol, the twelfth
21:19
sign of the zodiac, the star constellation Pisces. And so there's all these
21:25
symbols and Christianity, and Jesus told the disciples, you know, how will
21:30
we know when you return? And he said, you know, there'll be
21:33
signs of so many stars. But he also said something something to the lines
21:37
of follow the man with the alabaster jar and the house that he dwells,
21:41
and that's the sign of Aquarius. That's the Aquarian age. You know that
21:47
everybody talks about that we're in now or getting ready to be in because of
21:51
the technology. You know, it's going to be a change in the world.
21:55
And are we in that? But Jesus said that's when he would return,
22:00
when follow the man with the alabaster jar, which is the sign and
22:03
symbol for the sign Aquarius in astrology, which I can't explain all this stuff,
22:10
Victor, but I just know it's very interesting. Absolutely not to mention
22:14
the fact of the three men who knew about his arrival. Who are those
22:18
guys exactly? I remember when I was going to church years ago and my
22:26
daughter was in a in a Bible study, you know for kids, and
22:30
and she she said, Mama, were the were the three wise men astrologer?
22:36
I said, I think they were. And and I've always been open
22:38
to that. And I've had a lot of people that, you know,
22:41
that are very religious, have told me that that they were taught that too,
22:45
that they followed the star, you know, they knew that there was
22:48
something specially going to happen that night. And and and it's all of these
22:52
things right that are in in uh in religion, and I think sometimes people
22:57
are afraid and and I do agree that some of these tools need to they
23:03
have to be used correctly. You know, you want to use it for
23:07
the good and and you need to have you don't want to play God,
23:11
so to speak. And because you know, I believe there is a God,
23:14
there is a higher power. But I believe that I'm meant to help
23:18
people, and I believe that astrology is fact and it's it's it's a wonderful,
23:23
powerful psychological tool. That's how I use it as a personality tool to
23:29
help people understand their personality and their their life and their talents right, and
23:34
their strengths and and some of their weaknesses as well. And that's what I've
23:40
used it for and it's helped me a lot, and I just love to
23:41
share it with others, the basics, you know. I think one of
23:45
my my goal is to is to talk and teach astrology on a very basic
23:51
level so that anyone can understand it anyone. And that's how I try to
23:56
write my books and that's how I try to explain it when I'm on shows
23:59
like this in a very basic way because a lot of people shy away from
24:03
it because they think it's you know, math science. It's confusing, it's
24:07
all these symbols, right. My guest is Carmen Turner shot. Her book

25:42
Back on Voxnobus, My guest this week is Carmen Turner Shot. We're
25:47
going to be talking about her book Moon Signs, Houses and Healing, Gain
25:52
emotional strength and resilience through Astrology. You are a prolific author and scholar on
25:59
the subject of a trilogy. We're going to be discussing that book, and
26:02
let's start with last year's Sun Signs Houses and Healing, Building resilience and transformance
26:08
in your life through astrology. What inspired that book and what did you share
26:12
with your readers. Yes, so, the main thing that I have researched
26:18
and learned with astrology, knowing the basics of your sun sign can really help
26:25
you heal, transform and become more resilient because each sign has its personality traits
26:33
that helps them overcome challenge, crisis, depression. You know, everyone has
26:38
different gifts, right, different abilities, and I wanted to write a book
26:42
for to dedicate to each sun sign. So there's a chapter for each sun
26:48
sign to know what tips I give them for healing, how they can self
26:55
care, you know, take better care of themselves, what things self care
26:59
things will work for them, how they can transform and let go the past
27:03
and embrace change, and then how they can become more resilient, which means
27:07
that they become stronger to overcome challenges in their life. And so I use
27:12
just my knowledge and research of counseling people with each of the signs. So
27:18
you know, Aries, Taurusts, gem and I have a chapter for each
27:22
sign and and so for instance, you know with Aries, you know,
27:27
Aries are one of the most resilient signs of the zodiac because they get they
27:32
move on quickly from things, and they're able to pick up and keep going.
27:36
You know. They're the warrior of the zodiac, so to speak.
27:38
And so for them, change is easy. Now when you have a sign
27:42
like Taurusts, Taurus is like peace. They like comfort, they like stability.
27:48
Their ruled by the planet Venus, so they don't like anything too quick.
27:53
They like slow change, right, They're very patient, They're very calm,
27:59
peace people, and they like to do things that are practical, and
28:02
they like to be out in the earth and nature, you know, in
28:06
the garden and just have harmony around them. And so any kind of change
28:11
is hard for them. So I give you know, Taurus tips that they
28:14
have to let go of the past. They have to allow change right into
28:18
their life and let themselves feel uncomfortable a little bit, right, So I
28:22
give tips to each of the Sun signs based on their their classic personality traits,
28:27
and I give them different examples of things they can do, you know,
28:30
to move forward and to become stronger. And I also talk about in
28:34
the Sun Signs book, uh, you know, relationship compatibility, health issues
28:40
that each sign might be prone to, you know, when they get stressed,
28:42
like Arias are prone to headaches, tension, headaches, migraines, things
28:48
like that. Tauruses are prone to neck and shoulder tension, you know,
28:52
even losing their voice or sore throats right when they get stressed. And I
28:56
go through you know, each sign and give each of them to tips of
29:00
things that can help them really tap into their strengths, their personality strengths.
29:06
So that's what inspired me was I wanted to help people, and I wanted
29:10
to write about astrology in a very basic way that if you pick up my
29:15
Sun Signs, Houses and Healing Book, that you don't have to know anything
29:18
about astrology. The whole introduction will explain all of the basics. It'll tell
29:23
you how to how to go on astro dot com to get your birth chart,
29:26
what you need, what all the symbols are, what all the personality
29:30
traits, are of the of the signs, the planets, what the houses
29:34
are, what they mean, and it puts it all together for you,
29:37
right, and then you can look up your family and friends and their sunsign.
29:41
I give the dates for each sun sign, their symbols, you know,
29:45
their planetary rulers, all of that stuff. So it was really,
29:51
you know, a passion to write that book to help other people. You
29:55
have mentioned relationships. In the sixties and seventies, I remember one of the
30:00
major questions people would ask in social settings was what's your sign? Should one
30:04
consider a potential partners sign before entering a relationship? Yes, yes, because
30:11
of compatibility. So the funny thing about astrology and compatibility is that in life
30:18
often we're drawn to our opposite. So when you have a lot of fire
30:25
air in your chart and you lack water and earth, you're going to tend
30:29
to draw people that have a lot of water and earth. That's not your
30:32
best match though, right, But we were attracted. It's that the whole
30:36
scene opposite's attract right because they kind of you think, you know, you
30:40
like someone that's different from you. Right. But in the compatibility and astrology,
30:45
a simple way I'd like to describe it is that there's four elements.
30:49
There's fire and air, and there's earth and water. And if you think
30:53
of nature, you know what does air do to fire? It makes it
30:56
grow, right, it makes it expand so fire and air signs are very
31:02
compatible. Okay, traditionally fire and fire compatible. Air and air signs are
31:07
compatible. Then you have earth and water. Earth and water goes well together
31:11
in nature, right. The water flows on the earth. So earth and
31:15
water signs traditionally are very compatible. And earth and earth and water and water
31:21
signs right. And so that's the basic you know, one oh one right
31:26
there. But then when you look at your birth chart, each birth chart
31:30
is unique, and so I can you know by knowing your month, date,
31:33
year, time, place of birth. You can go on astro dot
31:37
com. You can go on my website and pull up your your personality profile,
31:40
your chart. It's going to be a will, it's gonna be a
31:41
bunch of symbols. But you know, if you start studying it, you
31:47
can learn what all the symbols mean. And my Sun signs and moon signs
31:51
book will go over all of that, what all the symbols are and what
31:53
it all means. But when you do a birth chart. You also want
31:56
to look at what sign is on your seventh house cusp. The seventh house
32:01
in astrology rules relationships, marriage and partnership. So you want to see what
32:07
sign is on that cusp of that house on the wheel, because all twelve
32:12
houses are going to have the twelve signs that are going to fall on there
32:15
dependent on when you're born, where you're born, when, and so for
32:20
instance, i have Pisces on the seventh house. I'm a Virgo rising,
32:22
so I tend to get along well with Pisces people. But I'm also a
32:27
Virgo. I'm a Virgo son, so Pisces is water. I'm earthed.
32:31
It's my polar opposite, so I get along with Pisces anyway. Right,
32:37
So we call when we call signs polar opposites. Every sign has a polar
32:43
opposite. So there's twelve constellations that are in the sky, and when you're
32:46
looking up at the sky when you're born, there's a sign, a star
32:51
constellation that's always going to be opposing that sign. It never changes, it's
32:55
it's always going to be that way. And that's what we call polar opposites.
32:59
They're always opposing each other in the sky and for instance, aries and
33:04
libra of polar opposites, Tours and Scorpio, Gemini and Sagittarius, you know,
33:09
Cancer and capricornu Leo and Aquarius, Virgo and Pisces. You know,
33:15
the list goes on. So your polar opposite is always going to be very
33:20
compatible for you. You're gonna you're gonna click with them, and that's because
33:23
you're actually very similar. You know, when you hear the word polar,
33:29
people think it means you're opposite. It actually means that you share similar personality
33:32
traits of your polar opposite sign. So we look at that, We look
33:37
at the elements right for compatibility, and we also look at you know,
33:43
uh, Mars and Venus in your birth chart. Mars and Venus are the
33:46
love and the passion planets, right, the relationship energy planets. So we
33:52
want to see what sign is Venus and Mars in, what house are they
33:55
in and your birth chart, and that really shows us the kind of people
33:59
that are going to be a good match for you, right, And and
34:02
some other things that get a little bit more in depth with compatibility is we
34:07
do what's called a sinistry chart or in a composite chart. And what that
34:12
means is like you know, I would take you know, for business partners
34:15
as well. It's not just for love, but for any kind of partnership
34:20
and compatibility. You really want to look at someone's chart, you know,
34:22
is it good that I work with them or that I partner with them?
34:25
Right? And how do we affect each other if we do work together?
34:29
And what you do is, you know, like you would put my birth
34:31
chart on top of your birth chart and then flip it and I would be
34:37
able to show how I affect you in all areas of your life, and
34:39
you would. I'd be able to see how you affect me in all areas
34:43
of my life. And I do that with people I meet, you know,
34:45
when people want to work with me, Micha, well, let me
34:47
see the sinistry chart to see how we influence each other, right, And
34:52
and those are all things that astrologers can do to see about compatibility. So
34:57
there's a lot to it. But the basics are pretty simple once you get
35:00
those down with the fire and air, earth and water and then the basics.
35:07
And in June you came out with moon signs, houses and healing.
35:10
Where does that pick up? Where Sun signs houses and healing leaves off yes.
35:15
So in astrology, the sun the sun's sign. Most people know their
35:22
sun sign, and that's your main identity that you show the world, that's
35:25
your main personality. The thing that most people don't know is that the moon
35:30
sign is even more powerful than your sun sign because the moon sign is your
35:36
inner nature. It's your emotions, it's how you feel insight, it's how
35:40
you react, how you nurture others and yourself, it's how you show loves.
35:46
It's a very vulnerable part of ourselves, our moon. So we don't
35:51
always show people our emotional side right our moon sign, and we often keep
35:54
it very hidden in private until we feel that we can trust someone. And
36:00
that's why the moon is a very vulnerable placement because we really have to feel
36:04
comfortable to show our moon sign traits. So the Moon Sign book focuses solely
36:10
on the moon sign personality traits and how that's going to impact you. How
36:15
you're going to find fulfillment, security, comfort, love, passion, and
36:23
emotional fulfillment comes through the moon. So when you look in in your birth
36:28
chart, you want to see what sign is the moon in when you're born,
36:31
What house is it in, which is the areas of life? And
36:36
the houses rule different things, Like if your moon is in the fourth house
36:39
of home and family and it's in let's say it's in cancer, the mother
36:45
figure is going to be very important to you and a very strong bond there.
36:50
And you're going to find your happiness through having a home and family,
36:54
through your parents, through your own family. You're going to be a homebody,
36:58
right, You're gonna like your loan time. So that's how we look
37:00
at everything. But the moon is so important because it's where you find happiness,
37:07
and so I look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I talk about that
37:10
in the Moon Science book because I started realizing that the moon sign is all
37:15
about our needs. And so some people really need security, you know,
37:22
they've got to have that money in the bank, they have to own a
37:24
home, they've got to have a food on the table to fill that they
37:28
can express their emotions, right. Some people are more maginative, more creative,
37:32
and they can. They're like free spirits. They don't need comfort and
37:36
stability. They like to, you know, find a spiritual path to travel
37:38
and roll. You know, every moon sign is different, and so in
37:43
the Moon Sigence Book. I'm really excited about this book because I just feel
37:47
like it's very deep and I give a lot of tips on how to find
37:52
happiness, fulfillment, you know, security, passion, you know, doing
37:59
what you love to do, and self care as well for each moon's sign.
38:02
So I go through each chapter is dedicated to a moon sign, and
38:07
I give tips in different stories of people that I've known, you know,
38:09
in my life, different experiences for each moon's sign, and things that will
38:14
help them feel comfortable to share who they are and to feel that they can
38:19
be themselves emotionally with someone else, and what things help them heal and what
38:23
things help their moon's sign transform and become stronger. So I talk about that
38:30
in the moon Sign's book as well. Here's my chart Son and Capricorn moon
38:37
in Aquarius and Cancer rising. Someone said that makes me a hot mess in
38:45
all seriousness, How does the Aquarium moon modulator balance the Capricorn sun. Wow,
38:51
yeah, it's interesting. I love Capricorn's my best friends of Capricorn,
38:54
my dad, my brother, and my grandfather all Capricorns too. Capricorn,
39:00
you know, is the father of the zodiac and very serious, responsible,
39:06
hard working, Uh. Usually you know, drawn to business, uh,
39:09
finance, owning their own business, you know, working for themselves. You
39:14
know, they're hard workers. They rule the career house, right, and
39:16
then that's your main identity. And then you're taking care of family, taking
39:21
care of people, and being you know, you're the water goat so to
39:24
speak. Capricorns are Earth, but they're the water goat, so they have
39:28
one foot on water, one foot on lands. So Capricorns are actually pretty
39:32
sensitive and emotional people. They really are. They can seem to be serious
39:38
or responsible from a young age, and they are. They always say Capricorn's
39:43
age backwards, you know, usually when they're young, they always feel older
39:45
than they are, and they're drawn to older people. And then you have
39:50
this moon and Aquarius, which is the rebel. You know, Aquarius is
39:54
non traditional, Capricorn is traditional. So you have one side of you it's
40:00
very traditional and then and practical, and then you have your emotional nature that
40:05
is very non traditional, that questions things, that's interested in spirituality and humaniteering
40:12
causes and helping people. In astrology actually is ruled by Aquarius, right,
40:17
Uranus is and so emotionally you're going to be needing your freedom and be able
40:24
to explore and think outside the box, you know, very creative and imaginative
40:30
and someone that questions authority, questions, why do we have to do things
40:35
that way just because we always have? Right? And so those are some
40:38
things that that I see there. But with your moon and Aquarius, usually
40:45
you're gonna be able to step back and help people in in a logical,
40:50
practical way and you're not gonna get how do I say this? You're going
40:55
to be able to really help people like a counselor can help someone without taking
41:00
on all their problems, right, you know, and having those those things
41:05
to do, learning, studying, learning everything you can reading. You know,
41:10
all of those things are going to bring you emotional fulfillment. But you
41:14
typically like your freedom and independence as an Aquarious moon, but then Capricorn's usually
41:21
are the opposite. So that's probably why they joked you, because you have
41:23
these two different natures, right, And they said, the cancer rising makes
41:28
me an inveterate caretaker. Oh yes, it's intuitive. And any everyone I've
41:32
known that has cancer rising, they are very intuitive and empathic and very psychic.
41:39
You sense energy and you know what's going on with people. And I've
41:44
met so many. My brother's a cancer rising and a friend of mine who
41:49
is now kind of starting to believe in these things, but never you know,
41:52
was raised and said, I said, you're very intuitive, and they'll
41:54
be talking. I mean, I'm like, see you picked up on what's
41:58
going on with someone. You felt it because that's cancer. You know,
42:01
their water, they absorb and feel everything going on around them, and usually
42:07
they have a strong bond in connection with the mother figure cancers do. My
42:13
guest is Carmen Turner shot her latest book, Moon Signs Houses and Healing.
42:17
We'll be back with more after these words on the Own Times Radio network.

43:06
Turner Shot. We've been talking about her book, Moon Signs Houses and healing,
43:10
gain emotional strength and resilience through astrology, Carmen. How do the associated
43:16
planets also come into play? Yes, So, so all of the planets
43:23
have a certain energy and they're you know, they're affecting us right now in
43:28
the sky. So you know when when people talk about you know, Pluto
43:32
is moving into Aquarius. You know, all these major planetary transits, those
43:38
things affect our lives. So, for instance, mercury, Mercury is the
43:45
plant of communication and it's it rules our mind. And so when it goes
43:50
retrograde, which is going to happen actually next week is the shadow, we're
43:54
going to start feeling this mercury retrograde energy. It happens the end of August
43:59
for about four to six weeks. It means that everyone on Earth is affected,
44:05
and there's a lot of miscommunication, technological difficulties. Computers, phones,
44:10
emails go haywire, people misinterpret what you say. So the energy and mercury
44:16
affects all of our communication. And then Venus, you knows, the planet
44:21
of love and relationships and harmony and beauty, and it is actually I believe
44:29
it's also retrograde in the sky, which means that it's spinning backwards, so
44:32
that means that its energy is not flowing normally like it would, you know,
44:37
So the energy is a little bit messed up, so to speak.
44:42
And when a planet's retrograde, it's a time to reflect on the past and
44:46
it's not a time to start anything new. So a lot of people have
44:50
been telling me lately with Venus retrograde that they've been thinking of old love and
44:54
old relationships or people from the past have been coming back into their life,
45:00
and it's not a good time to start up a new relationship or get back
45:04
with people that we've already had relationships with. But there's gonna be that that
45:07
test right of bringing people the past love issues back into the forefront. And
45:15
and like all the plants, Mars is the plant of drive aggression, it's
45:20
where we get our passion. And Jupiters the plant of good luck, good
45:23
fortune. It's where we are very generous, where we expand. And Pluto,
45:29
Urana's Saturn, you know, Neptune, all of the planets that are
45:34
in our birth chart, there's ten main planets. You know. All of
45:37
those planets are in a certain sign when we're born. They're in a certain
45:42
house, which is an area of the sky and which rules you know,
45:45
different areas. So for instance, if you have you know, Jupiter in
45:50
the eighth house, a lot of times that you may benefit through inheritance or
45:55
you know, just healing abilities, Jupiters in the second house of money in
46:00
finance, you might you know inherit money, you might money may come and
46:05
go because you like to spend money, you like you know, and you
46:07
also you know, accumulated easily, but then you also like to it comes
46:12
and goes kind of thing. And so we look at all of these energies
46:15
of the planets and where they're at in a birth chart, and we analyze
46:20
that, and then we also look at where all what's going on in the
46:22
sky right now, right every day, there's things going on. So for
46:28
instance, the moon, the moon moves through each sign of the zodiac every
46:32
two to three Every two to three days it moves to a new sign,
46:37
so it doesn't stay in that sign very long. So every two to three
46:43
days it's in a new sign, and it does the moon moves very quickly
46:46
through the through the sky, right through the twelve constellations. Some planets stay
46:51
in each sign for many many years and in each area of the sky for
46:55
like decades, I mean, and and so that's why, you know,
46:59
lately people were really talking about how Pluto has been in Capricorn right and for
47:05
many years, and it's going to go into Aquarius. And then it kind
47:07
of went into Aquarius, out of Aquaria, back into Capricorn, retrograded,
47:13
then it's back in Aquarius. And so later this year, the planet Pluto,
47:16
which is the planet that was found when nuclear power was created, right
47:22
when all of these things were invented, like the nuclear bomb, which is
47:29
Pluto, rules death, rebirth, transformation, healing, intensity, and so
47:35
that planet, when we look at that planet, you know in the sky,
47:38
it's it affects the whole world when it changes signs, and and that's
47:44
going to happen this year. It's going to go into Aquarius. So Aquarius
47:47
rules technology and uh space travel, you know UAPs, you you know UFOs,
47:54
you know all of these you know, these orbs and the sky that
47:58
were on the news a couple of months ago. All of that stuff is
48:00
Aquarius energy things in the sky right air, and so Pluto moving into Aquarius,
48:07
people were wondering what's going to happen in the world, you know,
48:10
because when Pluto was an aquarius, it would think it was the eighteen hundreds
48:15
the last time it's been in there, and it was when the French Revolution
48:19
was going on, right, all these major things, and when it was
48:22
moving into there this time, there was the uprisings in France right about the
48:27
I think retirement age. There was lots of riots and and so there's a
48:30
similar historic pattern that happens with some of these planetary transits. Okay, and
48:37
you can google it, you know all of this, all of these things.
48:40
And but I have a little planner that tells me every day, you
48:45
know, what energy is going on astrologically, right, what planet is retrograde,
48:49
what sign is the moon in, and that way you kind of know,
48:52
you know, maybe why you're feeling the way you are, because our
48:55
body's water, you know, everything's energy, and so astrology. I watched
49:00
a video and it was it makes me, it makes me laugh. It
49:04
said you believe in astrology, whether you whether you think you do or not,
49:08
and it was a little scientific short video about nature and science in the
49:14
world and how astrology is a part of everything we do, even though we
49:16
don't realize it. You know what I mean absolutely. Listen, we've got
49:21
about six minutes left. You have a brand new book which just came out,
49:24
the Mysteries of the Twelfth Astrological House, Fallen Angels. Give us a
49:29
sneak peek. Yes, so the Mysteries of the twelfth Astral House fall on
49:34
Angels, and then I got Phoenixes and Angels that just came out to And
49:37
it's about the eighth and twelfth houses in our birth chart, which are the
49:43
two most spiritual, most mystical houses in astrology. So I've done research on
49:47
these two houses for almost thirty years, and I find that people that have
49:52
planets in the eighth and twelfth houses are born very spiritual. They feel different
49:59
than other people from a young age. They feel like they're they're alien or
50:01
they're adopted, like they're not from Earth. They're empathic, they dream things
50:07
that happen, they're intuitive, They draw people that have problems in there and
50:12
they and people go to them for help. They have these mystical and explained
50:16
experiences right of seeing orbs, angels, all of these things. And I've
50:21
been collected research from people all over the world and I put all of that
50:25
those experiences and my research and my own experiences in in both of those books.
50:30
And so if someone wants to know what they have planets in the in
50:35
the eighth or twelfth, you know, they can do their birth chart,
50:38
you know, online at astro dot com or or whatever and they can see
50:43
if they have planets in the eighth House or twelfth House. And the twelfth
50:45
houses rule by Pisces. So it's the mystical spiritual house. It's where we
50:51
have our find a oneness with God. It's where we have a spiritual path.
50:54
So when you have planets, they're you're You're meant to be spiritual,
50:59
You're meant to to have solitude, You're meant to learn things so you can
51:04
grow and realize you're a soul. The eighth House is a healing house.
51:07
It's ruled by Scorpio. So a lot of psychologists, social workers, people
51:13
that are into you know, do reiki, energy work. They usually have
51:15
planets in the eighth House, and they are here to heal people and to
51:19
help people transform because they have been through a lot of transformation and rebirths in
51:23
their life. And so if you go to my website, I have a
51:27
lot of videos on the media page and on YouTube about the eighth and twelfth
51:31
houses that you can listen to, and would love for you to check out
51:36
my books. I don't know if I am or not, but I have
51:38
a sense I'm an eighth twelve group. Would I would guarantee you probably are
51:44
because most of the time when I'm doing a show like this with someone the
51:47
host, I'm like, let me see you a chart, I'm like,
51:51
yeah, you're an eighth and twelth house, or almost every time when you're
51:53
doing this kind of work that we're doing and raiki and all these things,
51:57
there's something in your birth chart. You may have a lot of Pisces energy
52:01
or Scorpio placements, or you might have planets in the eighth and twelfth house.
52:07
So having a lot of pieces and Scorpio also makes you. I call
52:10
eighth housers phoenixes and twelfth housers angels. So phoenixes and angels, that's that's
52:15
what I call them. What do the charts share about our world today with
52:21
such divisiveness and a need for compassion and kindness and love. Well, I
52:28
believe that you know, everything happening right now is this age of Aquarius kind
52:34
of energy where it's all about, you know, things that become so technological,
52:39
you know, and it's a good thing, but it also can be
52:44
scary, right in a way, because we get so dependent on technology for
52:47
everything we do. And and Pluto might change the way we communicate, the
52:54
way we interact with each other. And if you think about it, Aquarius
52:58
is the sign of humanitarian are in connection, friendship, helping large groups of
53:04
people, right and service. And so I think that we're gonna have to
53:08
come together. And I think we're going to become more technological. I really
53:14
do. And you know, I mean you can see it now with virtual
53:16
reality and people it's so real, right when you're in these headsets, and
53:22
training is being done in virtual reality, you know now for all kinds of
53:25
things. And and I think we're just gonna continue to learn about space travel,
53:34
right, time travel. I mean, all these really scientific things are
53:39
going to start coming into play, right, robots, you know, I
53:45
mean, there's all these things happening AI. Right. The AI is very
53:49
interesting. I didn't realize that there's so many issues with this, Even with
53:53
my daughter's school, that teachers are being able to see if if if students
53:59
are using AI to write their papers and I didn't even know that was a
54:02
thing. I'd literally learned this like a week ago, right, And I'm
54:06
like, what, it's just like, yeah, they know if it's AI
54:08
or not. I'm like, I'm like, are you kidding me? So,
54:12
you know, all of this stuff is Aquarius, you know, energy,
54:15
and but it's meant to be, you know, just like Jesus said,
54:20
you know, follow the man at the Alabaster Jar. That is the
54:22
age of Aquarius. And you know, it reminds me of the movie The
54:27
Fifth Element, you know, when they're they're in flying cars and all this
54:30
stuff. I mean, I don't know where we're looking outside right now.
54:32
It's hard to believe that we might be in flying cars someday, but who
54:36
knows. Right things are changing, and I mean we're going to Mars,
54:40
you know, we're doing all these things in space and and for the environment.
54:46
I think that something, you know, I think they call it the
54:50
new World, the new world, the different you know, the energies,
54:53
the spiritual realms are all kind of they're seeing the Earth's going through a lot
54:58
of changes right now, the spiritual realm, right, And so I'm open
55:02
minded and I think that everything happened is meant to happen. When it with
55:07
tiny, you know, when it's the right time, everything will play out
55:12
