Transcript
- 0:34SPEAKER_00: Hey everybody and welcome to the Digital Soul Space Podcast.
- 0:39SPEAKER_00: Musings of the metaphysical, magical, and nonsensical.
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: I am your host, Microbare.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: So this week, our weekly wrap-up covers the week of August 18th through the 25th.
- 0:56SPEAKER_00: And we're actually recording this two days late.
- 0:59SPEAKER_00: My apologies.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: This is the night of the lunar eclipse though, so pretty cool.
- 1:06SPEAKER_00: But first, quick the important stuff.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: Digital SoulSpace is an independent online metaphysical community.
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: That means no ads, no algorithms, and we never sell your data.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: Because here, your privacy, it's a must.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: Okay, this was a big week.
- 1:23SPEAKER_00: The sky's been busy, the tarot space finished its long walk through the pentacles.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: Somebody spent five hours wrestling a wooden gothic mansion into existence.
- 1:35SPEAKER_00: That would be me.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: Art Bell came back from the vault with the only ghost ever blamed for a death.
- 1:44SPEAKER_00: Yes, a person's death.
- 1:46SPEAKER_00: And there's an invitation to step past the veil.
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: Let's get into it, folks.
- 1:51SPEAKER_00: Starting in freedom through astrology, because our resident astrologer had a full slate this week.
- 1:58SPEAKER_00: Earlier in the week, the moon moved into Libra.
- 2:03SPEAKER_00: That's the soul asking for balance, peace, and for a little self-nurturing.
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: Then it built into the first quarter moon in Libra, squaring the sun in Leo.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: And a square is a challenge, but it's the useful kind, folks.
- 2:20SPEAKER_00: So the takeaway was that a pause actually strengthens your self-expression.
- 2:26SPEAKER_00: Stepping back doesn't necessarily mute you, it sharpens you.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: And a quick reminder that Donald Batak practices sidereal astrology, also known as visible sky astrology.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: So if this sounds not what you're used to, that makes perfect sense, because you're probably following Western astrology or tropical astrology.
- 2:51SPEAKER_00: But Donald is a fascinating astrologer and he can be reached at freedom through astrology.
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: Google him and he gives readings there.
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: He's pretty awesome.
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: Furthermore, in Donald's astrology space, there was also Venus in Virgo, opposite Saturn retrograde in Pisces.
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: Now, Venus and Virgo is trying to get better at relationships.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: Real empathy, real harmony, real craft and creative work.
- 3:20SPEAKER_00: Saturn retrograde sits across from that and asks you to reflect on the inner growth underneath it all.
- 3:26SPEAKER_00: And then came the big one: the sun conjunct, the south node in Leo, opposite the north node in Aquarius.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: The ego meets destiny.
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: That post talked about how the false self holds you back with theatrics and the old habits, and how the north node in Aquarius is pointing somewhere much more interesting.
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: Right on its heels.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: Which is always so hard to do, isn't it?
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: And then the weekly summary landed written from the library because home internet was misbehaving and Donald's amazing that way.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: He will jump through hoops to make sure he gets his forecast out to us, and it's so much appreciated.
- 4:22SPEAKER_00: And this one's worth reading because we have a lunar and eclipse I am so tongue-tied this evening.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: There's a lunar eclipse in Aquarius, and it's actually tonight, so that explains my tongue-tiedness.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: It's the eclipse messing with me.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: I am claiming that it squares a trine, a conjunction, and an opposition all in play, with Mercury doing a lot of the talking, folks.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: Eclipse weeks tend to move things whether you ask them to or not.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: So go get the full breakdown.
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: And I have to say, the little weather reports at the top of those posts are becoming a feature.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: Donald gives us the 411, severe thunderstorm warnings, laundry drying in the wind, and a very fair question about whether it's August or October out there.
- 5:15SPEAKER_00: Now, over in our tarot space, we've been looking through the Pentacles suite, and it's still going strong, and it's been a beautiful stretch.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: The Six of Pentacles brought the merchant with his scales, dropping coins into open hands, giving, receiving, and the idea that generosity is what keeps abundance moving, and that's something we all need to keep in our heads.
- 5:38SPEAKER_00: The seventh gave us the gardener leaning on his hoe, taking stock on what he's grown instead of yanging it out of the ground early.
- 5:47SPEAKER_00: And isn't that something we all suffer from?
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: We're always so impatient when it comes to harvesting uh the abundance.
- 5:55SPEAKER_00: The eight of pentacles is the craftsman heads down, six finished pentacles hanging where he can see them, carving the next one.
- 6:04SPEAKER_00: That's mastery one repetition at a time.
- 6:08SPEAKER_00: And then it opened up with the nine of pentacles, the woman in her walled vineyard with a falcon on her arm, surrounded by everything she cultivated herself.
- 6:16SPEAKER_00: Self-sufficiency that's earned, not handed over.
- 6:21SPEAKER_00: The Ten of Pentacles went even further out, the elder under the archway with the family, the child, and the two dogs.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: That talks about generations, tradition, and the kind of wealth that gets passed along.
- 6:35SPEAKER_00: And to close the suite, the page of pentacles, the young student holding a coin that floats just above the palms, not owned yet, just studied.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: Curious enough to do the practical work of learning.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: That's a lovely note to end a suite on.
- 6:52SPEAKER_00: Now in our paranormal space, Coast to Coast AM cracked the vault open and pulled out a classic this week, Art Bell Broadcasting, when he used to do it way out in the desert way back when.
- 7:06SPEAKER_00: Two flavors of dread in one show, a dire forecast for what's ahead in the first half, and then a turn backwards into the Bell Witch, the most infamous haunting in American history, and the only ghost ever credited with killing a man.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: Spooky.
- 7:34SPEAKER_00: And we focus on a story highlight from Coast to Coast AM every week on Digital SoulSpace.
- 7:41SPEAKER_00: It's kind of an homage to my mother who absolutely loved that radio program.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: That's still going strong out there.
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: And what are we doing now?
- 7:53SPEAKER_00: We're going to the art and creativity space.
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: It had a really cool build story, and it's basically my own.
- 8:02SPEAKER_00: I bought a wooden uh gothic house kit almost a year ago, and this week I finally committed to building it out.
- 8:10SPEAKER_00: Um, I discovered the instructions were basically a list of matching numbers.
- 8:14SPEAKER_00: There was no labels, no shapes, and of course, there was no mercy from this company that built this thing.
- 8:22SPEAKER_00: So I had to pull out my Drummond tool, I had to shave some pieces down, and about five hours later, the house stands, and I actually just got done painting it today, which is very cool.
- 8:36SPEAKER_00: And that's what I call hauntifying it, because I'm making it into a haunted house.
- 8:41SPEAKER_00: And if you check out Digital Soul Space, you will see photos of this house in progress as they build it.
- 8:50SPEAKER_00: It's a lovely model standing over 18 inches tall.
- 8:54SPEAKER_00: It's really cool, and we'll talk more about it next week in the week in review, of course.
- 8:59SPEAKER_00: Now, in the gathering place, a one member shared what they've been thinking, what they've been building all summer months of training, deepening their connection with spirit and coming into balance with their channel using their very own modality.
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: Um, and they like to say it's going beyond the veil, it's a gentle state where the distance between you and what's beyond gets very thin.
- 9:29SPEAKER_00: And now they're offering this experience to others.
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: So if Soul Inquiry is calling you, go read the full post.
- 9:36SPEAKER_00: There are also a lot of thank you messages shared from a lot of members to Rachel Staples, who um runs this amazing program, and she's such a talented channel, and so I strongly recommend you check her out as well.
- 9:53SPEAKER_00: Now the witchcraft space passed along a short video with an idea worth stealing, and the motivational space kept the week steady with the lines that people stopped on.
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: You know, the ones like your existence changes the frequency of every room you enter, that you're safe to be fully seen, fully known, and fully loved.
- 10:19SPEAKER_00: That even the darkest night can't put out the candle of your soul.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: And the one that fits this whole week perfectly, right alongside all those pentacles, is what you plant and love today will bloom in ways you can't yet imagine.
- 10:34SPEAKER_00: And I love that connection there.
- 10:36SPEAKER_00: And that, my friends, is a wrap finally on our week here at Digital Soul Space.
