How Good Are You Willing To Let Life Get? Mercury-Saturn Challenges Limiting Perspectives This Week · Cozy with the Cosmos with Astrologer Sarah Paasch

• 0:00
  Well, hello, hello, welcome back to our weekly astrology podcast
• 0:04
  where we light our candles, we get cozy, we get glitter, sag
• 0:08
  moon surprise gift boots on, and we talk all things cosmos.
• 0:12
  I'm your host astrologer and coach, Sarah Posh.
• 0:15
  And guys, this week my question to you is how good is your
• 0:19
  perspective willing to let things get?
• 0:21
  We've got one major thing to talk about and one thing only,
• 0:24
  and that is on Tuesday, June 9th, we're having the official
• 0:28
  sweet chef's kiss of this Taurus lunar cycle where our two
• 0:31
  benefits are good bringers. Venus is making that conjunction
• 0:35
  to Jupiter at 25° of Cancer. But and let's get rid of that,
• 0:39
  but that's kind of the point of this podcast.
• 0:41
  As you'll see when we get there the same day, Mercury and Cancer
• 0:44
  is also making a square to Saturn and Aries.
• 0:47
  So on one hand, the benefits are coming together, they are
• 0:50
  bringing us good. They are delivering some sweet
• 0:53
  surprises and at the same time, Mercury and Saturn is
• 0:57
  challenging our capacity to receive it, our ability to
• 1:01
  perceive it. So definitely cozy up.
• 1:03
  And before we jump in, it would help me out so much.
• 1:05
  It would mean the world. You could hit the like button,
• 1:07
  subscribe to the channel, hit the bell button, maybe turn

  those notifications on, stay with the community, stay cozy
• 1:12
  for a while. In today's episode, we're going
• 1:14
  to cover this Jupiter Venus conjunction and the Mercury
• 1:16
  Saturn square. I'm going to offer three, not
• 1:19
  just one, but three Spotify songs for you to check out
• 1:22
  connected to this astrology and these transits.
• 1:24
  I've also got a fun book recommendation for you and
• 1:28
  surprise, surprise, if you haven't already checked it out
• 1:30
  or heard about it, there is an amazing digital workshop that my
• 1:34
  Astro Vestis, Alexandra Blair and Whitney Kranz delivered this
• 1:37
  gift of an astrology webinar on the magnifics and how to make
• 1:40
  the most of the benefits in your chart and in transits.
• 1:44
  So that's going to be linked below this episode.
• 1:46
  It gives you access to all of the recording and the webinar
• 1:49
  materials included in that digital product.
• 1:51
  So definitely check that out. It's worth the investment,
• 1:54
  especially during the transits of this magical week of
• 1:56
  astrology. It's kind of astrology.
• 1:58
  It doesn't come around very often and I think it's funny
• 2:00
  because there's so much doom and gloom in the world in general,
• 2:04
  but also in astrology, we get so frustrated and we're like, the
• 2:06
  astrology is so hard and don't lie.
• 2:08
  We kind of all love to blame the astrology and bitch about the
• 2:11
  astrology, but when the astrology is really good, how
• 2:14
  good are we willing to let it get?
• 2:16
  And how much do we actually let ourselves receive or pay
• 2:20
  attention or maybe document in our journals just as much as we
• 2:23
  do when the shit gets hard this week.
• 2:25
  That's my challenge to you. I dare you to open your heart
• 2:28
  and open your mind into a bigger possibility, big yes, that wants
• 2:33
  to come in maybe a delivery of something sweet, even if it's
• 2:37
  not obvious to your mind's perception of reality right
• 2:41
  away. And I have a shout out for
• 2:43
  Michaela in the comments, who added a song to our Spotify
• 2:46
  playlist. She gave us The Door by Teddy
• 2:48
  Swims. I'm obsessed.
• 2:50
  Thank you, Michaela. It was at first so obvious why
• 2:53
  this was so like grungy emotional feeling for all of
• 2:56
  this fierce feminine energy that's been rising during this
• 3:00
  Taurus lunar cycle. But then I was also feeling into
• 3:02
  how this is so good for the Sagittarius full moon that had
• 3:05
  Lilith right next to that mood at the top of that chart.
• 3:08
  So check out that song. It's been added to the playlist.
• 3:10
  And thank you, shout out to our fellow community member
• 3:13
  Michaela. Thank you for adding that song
• 3:14
  to the playlist. Don't forget, guys, you can
• 3:16
  always comment and suggest a song below what transit you feel
• 3:19
  like it aligns with. And I will add it to our Spotify
• 3:21
  playlist. Let's make this cozy with the
• 3:23
  Cosmos Lunar Cycle Playlist collaborative, shall we?
• 3:27
  And in the spirit of collaboration, let's do a little
• 3:30
  check in How are my babies doing?
• 3:33
  How are you guys feeling that Sagittarius full moon?
• 3:35
  Did you check out your horoscope?
• 3:36
  The horoscope episode is on the channel.
• 3:39
  It went through how Jupiter and Venus are giving blessings in
• 3:42
  disguise for each sign during the Sag full moon.
• 3:45
  And also how some hard efforts are finally maybe starting to
• 3:48
  pay off in the Saturn and Aries area of your chart.
• 3:51
  So maybe have a little listen, go back, check it out if you
• 3:54
  haven't already, and also check in how are we doing?
• 3:57
  Comment below, drop your rising sign and tell me how how the SAG
• 4:00
  full moon actually played out for you.
• 4:02
  Because let me tell you, it was an emotional roller coaster for
• 4:06
  me. Not what I expected to be
• 4:08
  honest. I have a SAG moon Natalie and I
• 4:10
  don't catch my SAG moon being a sad moon very often.
• 4:13
  But this SAG moon, it felt like an emotional hurt.
• 4:16
  I like literally could not stop crying and not in a way that I
• 4:20
  want you to feel bad for me or have any kind of pity.
• 4:23
  Like I wasn't depressed, it just it felt like there were so many
• 4:25
  emotions and grief and things that just got purged out of my
• 4:29
  system. And so it felt more like a
• 4:31
  cleanse and a renewal and a release, just not in the way I
• 4:34
  expected the Satch full moon to go.
• 4:35
  And hey, that's OK. Sad likes to do its thing
• 4:38
  though. Let it have its way with me.
• 4:39
  And I'm feeling cleansed. I'm feeling opened.
• 4:41
  I'm feeling ready to receive this new energy and hopefully
• 4:45
  some new surprises from this week's astrology.
• 4:48
  But I'd also love to hear from you.
• 4:50
  How are you guys doing? Drop in those comments below and
• 4:52
  let us know what was happening for you and how you're feeling
• 4:55
  coming into this final week, the third quarter lunar phase of the
• 4:58
  Taurus lunar cycle, and that extra special benefic kiss
• 5:02
  between Venus and Jupiter and Cancer.
• 5:04
  So I'm kind of just going to Fast forward and we're going to
• 5:06
  all the way to Tuesday, June 9th.
• 5:09
  This is the only day that has any major transit.
• 5:11
  So this week, know that there's not a lot going on.
• 5:14
  The astrology is giving us a break, maybe giving us a chance
• 5:17
  to bring things completion in the third quarter lunar phase,
• 5:20
  giving us a chance to slow down, rest, reset, maybe just like
• 5:24
  chill in the park these kind of final days before we jump into
• 5:28
  the Gemini New Moon and that next lunar cycle in next week's
• 5:31
  episode. So let's talk about Tuesday,
• 5:33
  June 9th. We have Venus making a
• 5:35
  conjunction to Jupiter and Cancer at 25°, and we also have
• 5:38
  Mercury and Cancer making a square to Saturn in Aries.
• 5:41
  The moon is going to be in Aries, which I actually kind of
• 5:44
  love because that's giving us a little bit more courage, a
• 5:47
  little bit more healthy rebellious energy to go against
• 5:50
  the traditional ways of thinking about things or approaching
• 5:53
  things or perceiving things. Giving us a little bit more
• 5:57
  gusto or some of that rebellious fire.
• 6:00
  Fuck it. I'm going to do it my own way
• 6:02
  and find out later. Energy behind that Mercury
• 6:05
  square Saturn. And so coming back to the
• 6:07
  question that I posed in the beginning of this episode, how
• 6:11
  good is your interpretation of reality willing to let life get.
• 6:16
  If you haven't heard of this book, I no, I've mentioned it on
• 6:19
  my channel. It's the Big Leap by Gay
• 6:22
  Hendrix. You guys, this book is so worn
• 6:24
  and torn. I have read this book so many
• 6:26
  times. It's pretty much all underlined
• 6:28
  and highlighted at this point. And it's so funny because I
• 6:30
  always write the dates when I read a book.
• 6:33
  And this one has three different dates, May 17, 2020 and then
• 6:37
  2022 round three. I'm sure I've read it even more
• 6:40
  than that because every time I reference it, I always open it
• 6:43
  back up. And you guys, it's so astrology
• 6:44
  good. Even the subtitle to this book
• 6:47
  fits this astrology so perfectly.
• 6:49
  It says conquer your hidden fear and take life to the next level.
• 6:53
  OK, so I'm not going to go into the entire theory of this book,
• 6:56
  but what I am going to tell you is to apply this idea that this
• 6:59
  week, what initially might seem like a problem, or it might feel
• 7:05
  like you're just having some negative energy.
• 7:08
  You're feeling resistance, you're feeling the sense of
• 7:10
  frustration. Something's not working.
• 7:12
  Your mind's kind of focused on everything that's going wrong.
• 7:15
  Maybe it's a delay, maybe it feels like a dead end, or maybe
• 7:18
  you actually even get a delivery of a no.
• 7:21
  And the first thing your mind's going to do is going to come up
• 7:24
  with all of the reasons why that proves things aren't working out
• 7:27
  for you. You're a failure.
• 7:29
  Nothing's ever going to happen. You should probably just give
• 7:31
  up. It's not going to work out.
• 7:33
  Everything's going wrong. I mean, Mercury Saturn is really
• 7:37
  good at getting to the bottom of something by going through the
• 7:40
  data, doing some deep research, really studying something,
• 7:44
  chewing it over time, becoming a master of what it is that we're
• 7:48
  trying to learn, right. People who have strong Mercury
• 7:51
  Saturn signatures in their Natal chart, they're known for being
• 7:54
  deep, slow thinkers. They have a strong sense of
• 7:58
  reason and logic and it's an evidence based way way of
• 8:02
  thinking and perceiving. And The thing is our mind, it is
• 8:05
  wired. It is great at collecting data,
• 8:07
  at collecting evidence at, you know, creating this like storage
• 8:10
  file of historical evidence of how things work or don't work.
• 8:15
  But here's the issue that are Neptune, they just came into a
• 8:18
  conjunction in February of this year.
• 8:19
  They just started a whole new cycle and I'm sure it's like a
• 8:22
  broken record. Everything is changing in 2026.
• 8:25
  Astrologically, the signature is everything is changing.
• 8:30
  Well, I feel like Mercury's in this opening square to Saturn
• 8:33
  and this is saying, OK, but is your thinking changing?
• 8:36
  There's this little quote from an article I was reading and
• 8:39
  preparing for this episode. It says human beings don't
• 8:41
  experience the world as it is. We experience the world as we
• 8:45
  interpret it. For the fact that simultaneously
• 8:47
  to a really strong benefit signature with the Jupiter Venus
• 8:51
  conjunction, this Mercury square Saturn feels like maybe the only
• 8:55
  thing in your way is actually your inner critic.
• 8:58
  It might just be an old outdated way of thinking about something
• 9:03
  or approaching a problem, AKA approaching, searching for a
• 9:07
  solution. We have Uranus and Gemini.
• 9:10
  There is no shortage of possible solutions, new ways of thinking
• 9:14
  about something, rewiring our neural pathways.
• 9:17
  That's a really cool true potential of working with the
• 9:21
  energy of not just Uranus and Gemini, but specifically
• 9:24
  Mercury, Saturn. Here's the thing about Saturn,
• 9:26
  it's usually really, really hard.
• 9:27
  The thing that we have to overcome or we have to confront,
• 9:30
  like it feels like it's taking so much effort or it's taking so
• 9:33
  much longer, so much more time. But the result of that is there
• 9:38
  is a deeper integration. There is a more solid foundation
• 9:42
  of something real that can actually be built on going
• 9:46
  forward. We can continue to build from
• 9:48
  whatever change and effort we put towards our mindset.
• 9:52
  This week can have long lasting Saturnian rewards.
• 9:56
  So as a coach, it's one of my favorite things to do is sitting
• 9:59
  across from a client and getting the opportunity to reflect back
• 10:02
  what I hear them saying and asking for the invitation to
• 10:05
  offer a reframe, a different way of thinking about it.
• 10:08
  And it was so astrology good because literally today before
• 10:11
  recording this episode, I had a client session and this very
• 10:15
  thing came up. They just had this major up
• 10:17
  level, this up level in success in their company that they have
• 10:21
  been calling in working for. We've been talking about this
• 10:23
  for the last 9 to 10 months and now it's here and I caused and I
• 10:28
  said, can I just offer what's happening for me on the
• 10:31
  receiving end of this right now? And he said yes.
• 10:33
  So I went ahead and I was like, it's so interesting because on
• 10:36
  the one hand, the words that you're speaking, I'm hearing
• 10:39
  capability and clarity. Like there's no confusion about
• 10:43
  what problems are arising, how to solve them, and where to
• 10:47
  start. But the tone of how you're
• 10:49
  delivering it feels so hard. It feels like almost a
• 10:55
  complaint. And I'm wondering, could it be
• 10:58
  possible that your frustration or your perspective on the
• 11:03
  issues that are showing up could be actually just some form of
• 11:07
  resistance? Like maybe are you upper
• 11:09
  limiting right now? I'm just curious because the
• 11:12
  timing of this sudden up level, this sudden expansion and growth
• 11:17
  and success, the thing you've been working towards, like it's
• 11:19
  happening and I don't hear any excitement about that.
• 11:21
  And even though this new problem is arising, in a way, isn't that
• 11:25
  kind of a benefit because you know what to do and you're going
• 11:28
  to solve it so that you can eliminate future issues as you
• 11:31
  continue to scale and grow. And he was like, Oh yeah, maybe.
• 11:36
  And I'm like, have you written any of this down?
• 11:38
  He was like, no, I just wrote down to write it down.
• 11:41
  And I just was like, no, we're doing it right now.
• 11:43
  And so we literally shared screen and did a whole mirror
• 11:45
  board and got him started. And it was like, that's the
• 11:47
  other part of this astrology is this Venus, Jupiter conjunction.
• 11:51
  It wants you to ask for help. Cancer is the sign ruled by the
• 11:55
  moon. It wants us to be in connection.
• 11:57
  It wants us to remember that we don't have to do everything on
• 12:01
  our own. And actually, right now, in this
• 12:03
  very moment, if something's coming up and you're feeling
• 12:05
  stuck or your mind and perspective about what's coming
• 12:09
  up is feeling stuck, then who? Who can you connect with?
• 12:12
  Who can you call as a support system, as a reflective lunar
• 12:16
  mirror to remind you of your clarity and your capability of
• 12:20
  the potential good that your mind might just be missing out
• 12:24
  of familiarity, out of bold thinking patterns, out of past
• 12:28
  evidence, projecting onto the present moment in unhelpful and
• 12:32
  honestly unreal ways potentially.
• 12:34
  So this week, the test is challenging our limiting
• 12:38
  thoughts or thinking patterns, confronting fears that are
• 12:41
  making clear decisions more difficult than they need to be.
• 12:45
  If we're in the face of a difficult conversation that
• 12:48
  needs to happen or communication that feels really intimidating,
• 12:51
  Mercury can feel intimidated by that square to Saturn.
• 12:54
  We can ask ourselves, how would the most honest and mature
• 12:57
  version of myself deliver this communication or this decision
• 13:02
  and to challenge the status quo in how good we're willing to let
• 13:06
  our interpretation of reality get.
• 13:09
  I'm also going to link the article that I did that that
• 13:11
  brief quote from below this episode, because it talks about
• 13:14
  and reveals this research and evidence that backs this theory
• 13:18
  that two people that experience the same difficult situation or
• 13:21
  circumstance that approach the same problem, but approach it
• 13:25
  with a different perspective or mindset.
• 13:27
  They both leave with a different outcome and a different plan for
• 13:30
  how they're going to move forward.
• 13:32
  So definitely check out that article if you're somebody that
• 13:34
  just needs a little bit more of that Saturn science evidence.
• 13:37
  And for the songs this week, we've got three.
• 13:40
  Remember, the first one is really a shout out to the Venus,
• 13:43
  Jupiter conjunction and Cancer. It's the good old classic Lean
• 13:46
  On Me by Bill Withers, which I thought was such a cool story
• 13:49
  about this song. I don't know if you guys know
• 13:50
  this, but in 1972, Bill wrote this song when he moved to LA
• 13:55
  and he was new to the community and he felt really isolated and
• 13:58
  really alone. And the song was actually coming
• 13:59
  from a place like a longing and a nostalgia for the strong
• 14:04
  community that he came from. Community support that he talked
• 14:07
  about was willing to go across borders to help each other out.
• 14:10
  And so, so especially with everything happening not just in
• 14:13
  our personal lives, but in our collective lives, this Venus
• 14:16
  Jupiter conjunction, this is the moment to lean on your people.
• 14:19
  Let's lean on each other, maybe put Bill Withers on in the
• 14:23
  background when you make that vulnerable phone call and admit
• 14:26
  that there's something you could use some help on or some support
• 14:29
  with. And I just want to make a little
• 14:30
  reminder that this Venus Jupiter conjunction also happened last
• 14:33
  summer. I believe it was August 11th,
• 14:36
  2025, when Venus and Jupiter came together at 13° of Cancer.
• 14:40
  So this, it's like a bonus bonific injunction, a bonific
• 14:44
  blessing that's coming from Venus and Jupiter in Cancer this
• 14:47
  week. And then our 2nd 2 songs,
• 14:49
  they're kind of a combination of both transits on Tuesday.
• 14:52
  The first one is feeling good and it's actually like a remake
• 14:56
  version by Fahlberg. It's fun, it's vibey while it's
• 15:01
  still got those traditional lyrics.
• 15:03
  It's a new dawn, a new day, birds flying high, which to me
• 15:06
  is kind of like this additional symbolic layer and reminder to
• 15:11
  give yourself permission to keep looking up.
• 15:13
  And then the last song is May I Please by Pryor.
• 15:17
  And again, super fun, vibey, jammy song.
• 15:20
  And these lyrics are so perfect. I'm going to go ahead and read
• 15:22
  them to you. This could just be like your
• 15:23
  affirmation. You write it on a sticky note,
• 15:25
  you put it on your mirror and you sing it every single
• 15:28
  morning, making straight eye to eye contact with you throughout
• 15:31
  this entire week. That'd be a fun way to ritualize
• 15:33
  this week. Honestly might do it.
• 15:35
  So the lyrics from prior may I please.
• 15:37
  This is a new life, a new way, a new possibility, a new day.
• 15:41
  This is where opportunity meets chance, where purpose meets a
• 15:45
  plan. This is a new life, a new way, a
• 15:47
  new possibility, a new day. So may I please have this dance?
• 15:53
  And I feel like that last line, may I please have this dance?
• 15:56
  That's actually the astrology, please begging you in this new
• 16:00
  astrology, can these new possibilities, can it have a
• 16:04
  chance to have a dance with you? Will you give it a chance?
• 16:07
  And that's really the question I'm going to leave you with this
• 16:10
  week. And don't worry because that
• 16:11
  next Gemini New Moon lunar cycle, Mercury is going to get
• 16:15
  the chance to pause at 26° of Cancer station retrograde and
• 16:19
  retrace all of the blessing steps that Jupiter and Venus
• 16:23
  have been dancing through. And Cancer giving us three more
• 16:27
  weeks to go even deeper on confronting, reprogramming and
• 16:31
  updating that software so that we can actually be open to
• 16:35
  interpreting life in a way that lets it get even better and
• 16:39
  better and better and better. Just want to sit with that for a
• 16:43
  second. If you're somebody who's
• 16:45
  struggling, feeling stuck or going through it and you could
• 16:48
  use some support. I also have my one-on-one
• 16:50
  astrology consultations that's also linked below.
• 16:52
  Don't forget about that workshop with Alexandra Blair and Whitney
• 16:56
  Crayons. It's a digital product linked
• 16:57
  below. All about the benefits, all
• 16:59
  about leveraging these planets and tension and function to do
• 17:02
  good and bring good into our lives.
• 17:05
  And if you have any song recommendations, I would love to
• 17:08
  hear it. Drop your rising sign, Drop the
• 17:10
  song below and I will add it to our Spotify playlist.
• 17:13
  I love making these playlist collaborative.
• 17:15
  I love expanding my play and my dance and my feel into the
• 17:19
  astrology in transits through you guys, introducing me to even
