Correction. Pluto is leaving Capricorn and going into Aquarius . Back and forth a bit in 2023 and finally THERE in 2024. Jupiter is in TAURUS.. not Aquarius!!! That means it puts a big bag of fertilizer on the house where Taurus is!
Another correction suggested... eighth house is not ruled by Scorpio, signs don’t rule houses, planets do so. If your eighth house is in the sign of Aquarius, then it is ruled by Uranus (Modern Astrology) and Saturn (Traditional Astrology).
I was taught that the natural zodiac has Aries first house. When we super impose our chart on an Aries rising chart (which would put Scorpio in the 8th house), it does add a level of nuanced understanding which astrology is so good at offering. Houses do mean something from that point of view. Isabel Hickey said that "there will always be a hidden influence of Aires operating."
Your point is valued. But signs don’t rule houses that’s a fact! Astrology is a rich body of wisdom but I think we can get lost in too many variants of the same point. I happen to have Aries rising with Mercury on the Ascendant! 😂
Cristina, are you saying you don't consider the house placement as meaningful or are you just pointing out about rulerships facts? And if houses are meaningful, how do you interpret them? If my 8th house has Capricorn on the cusp, would you see it as just plain Saturn there, then look to where my Saturn was placed for more information? Gemi rising here with mercury retrograde in Gemi in the 12th~~asking for my brother ;)
Of course the house placement is important, it’s where “the action “ take stage metaphorically speaking. And Saturn rules your eight house indeed, and would look where he is placed in the chart, what aspects it makes. This is quite funny, just realised my Saturn is in Gemini and we got here talking about the structure !😂😂😂😂
Still, the original point is that 8th house has a Scorpio feel to it so a Pluto or Mars radio station to layer into the energy language of what is there at birth.
Oh Dr Christiane! Do you remember snow apples? Tonight you spoke to me again. I have “heard you” since the Woman to Woman era of the early 90’s!
I too grew up in WNY where an apple was a food group of its own!
I was walked out of my job in health care in 2022. I had been following you on fb as an eager and hungry fellow warrior so I forced the hospital’s hand until the last day. I worked exclusively in Trauma Centers as a dedicated social worker. I adored my work; every bit of the adrenaline and chaos and the “saves!” I have since found another “home” for my service heart as a 988 clinician! To balance myself easily for such work as
I have my horses at home on my land in central OHIO and I have formed a community of like minds around us on our rural piece of heaven. I have Amish neighbors that have taught me to feel the soil with my bare feet for planting, they have taught me the value of heirloom seeds and which “signs” are best to plant in. I share the copper electo current with them and have them “grounded” on mats at night for their sore backs. It is a nurturing and “present” community that has taught me to replace my fight (against medical insurance and the medical system) for side splitting laughter and hard work. I still search for Snow apples to plant a couple tree from heirloom seeds in honor of my grandmother that rode her horse to school and hoped for snow apples in her Christmas stocking. And so it is 🙏🏼
I’m onboard with this political platform and appreciate the info on permaculture! Thank you. Also, you’ve taught me to focus on “the causes of health” and gardening is clearly that, as all of the centenarian communities do a lot of gardening and it keeps them very healthy.
I believe I heard Dr. Zach Bush a while back in an interview talking about lawns and when weeds grow, the purpose of those weeds is to correct the micro biome within the lawn’s soil. And if the weeds are left alone, it will eventually correct the micro biome and weeds will automatically disappear. But instead what people do is spray all sorts of toxic crap which kills the weeds and further damages the soil’s micro biome. Can anyone speak to this?
Another reason why our soil’s micro biome is in disarray is due to the lack of animals on it. Everyone used to have their own chickens, goats, sheep on their land or backyards. And their excrements are the food which nourishes the soil.
Greg I can't really add to your comments except to say I fully agree. I have a tiny homestead and follow Dr Zach regular and belong to his amazing Journey of Intrinsic Health group, as well as, am taking The Garden Club course through Dr Zach's and others Farmers Footprint group. I do what you wrote with my soil. Such a great conversation.
There is a documentary about Sebastiao Salgado who is a world famous photographer...it might be on Netflix. He and his wife totally changed the climate with trees, agroforestry in Brazil. It is a wonderful film. And, yes, just composting your food waste makes you feel connected too. This is a wonderful talk. thank you.
P.S. it's so easy to plant potatoes too. My grandfather always had a plot...even in his assisted living home. They allowed it and it kept him very engaged well into his late 80's and that was back in the 60s and 70s.
In Cheyenne Wyoming I received complaints from neighbor and city for zero scaping my front yard with trees and soon flowers which the local ordnance sent me a threatening letter. I had to mow it down except for the tree cover. She cleared her yard of all trees and bushes so the birds and rabbits would not come to her yard. I had a bald eagle land in my garden two years ago to eat a bird. I feed the birds and she hates that as well. This area is really lost and I am trying to find another house to buy and sell this one. No one is doing anything with their valuable plot of earth.
Oh Tacy my heart goes out to you. Whatever happened to humanity that some of us are SO disconnected from Mother Earth? I applaud your approach and hopefully you can find a new location to live where neighbors also want to be connected with nature.
I really enjoyed listening this evening! The idea of growing more edible food and less lawn has been our goal ever since watching the brilliant Brit tv series called ‘Good Neighbors’ with Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal, Penelope Keith and Paul Eddington. It first aired in 1975. I discovered it in the early 1990s. The premise is a young couple (Tom and Barbara) decide to give up the typical 9-5 life and become self sufficient by turning their suburban home and yard into a small farm. Now this sort of upheaval in suburbia does not sit well with the stylish couple next door (Margo and Jerry) but the whole experiment turns out to be hilarious and heartwarming as they grow 🌿 their friendship helping each other through tough times ❤️ I especially enjoy watching the series now because it takes me back to a time before technology infringed on everything.. a simpler time in many ways. Count me in! I have planted more heirloom seeds around our 1 acre yard in the suburbs than ever this year!
As someone who abandoned my previous way of living, and am fully engaged in tiny homestead living, I can't get enough of fabulous conversations like this. Thanks everyone! Such a joy listening to you regularly Dr Christiane and reading everyone's comments.
I meant to post this here! It aligns perfectly with all you are saying: One name you're gonna want to look up re permaculture - the father of it: Joel Salatin. And his Polyface Farm in the Virginia Shenandoah Valley. He is a force of nature, his farm one of the most successful in the organic-permaculture world. He is the one who has taught everyone else. But his numerous bestselling books are so darn funny. You're gonna want to look this guy up! His books like "Folks This Ain't Normal" and "Everything I Want To Do is Illegal" and "The Sheer Ecstasy of Being a Lunatic Farmer" and "Holy Cows and Hog Heaven" and "The Marvelous Pigness Of Pigs" are just a hoot and right up our alley! Its like he writes and speaks from the "duh!" perspective with a huge amount of laughter in trying to enlighten the general public and sharing his story from the beginning. And he's already gone head to head with the government for years on these issues. His experience is a gold mine. And anyone can visit his Polyface Farm, buy his products in their little country store and attend their fundraisers there for farmers legal defense fund (all of which I've done). He is a gamechanger. And did I mention funny??? So funny.....
We are considered high plains, dry,6,500 altitude, dry, few bodies of water or streams, very windy, wide open spaces, cold winters. Semi trucks blow off the highways regularly. 50 mile winds steady day and night for 10 days at a time. Big hail in spring summer. Except for chemical airplane dumps we have big skies. Climate here is not for faint of heart and skin looks bad younger ages.
I definitely need goats! After my 2 month absence I literally had to squeeze through the shoulder high thick weeds to enter the house. I had put down heavy cardboard and then stones 2 years ago but clearly the cardboard gave out. No lawn but a healthy crop of weeds. And now after 2 days of weeding I am exhausted.
I only have small herb pots at the moment but want to try using the copper rods to spur growth.
Sheep will keep the weed forest down perfectly. I leave my property 3-4 months a year. My neighbors bring in their sheep in my absence. Love goats, but they can be harmful to fruit trees and the tearing down of tree bark. The evolutionary chain at work!
Correction. Pluto is leaving Capricorn and going into Aquarius . Back and forth a bit in 2023 and finally THERE in 2024. Jupiter is in TAURUS.. not Aquarius!!! That means it puts a big bag of fertilizer on the house where Taurus is!
From a site I follow: While in Taurus, Jupiter engages in a LOT of important aspects:
• Jupiter (0° Taurus) Square Pluto (0° Aquarius) – May 17th, 2023
• Jupiter conjunct North Node (3° Taurus) – June 1st, 2023
• Jupiter (7° Taurus) Sextile Saturn (7° Pisces) – June 19th, 2023
• Jupiter conjunct Uranus (20° Taurus) – April 20th, 2024
• Jupiter conjunct Venus (29° Taurus) – May 23rd, 2024
Jupiter’s ingress into Taurus starts with a BANG! On May 17th, 2023 Jupiter is square Pluto in Aquarius.

I don't remember Snow Apples. Northern Spies are my all time favorites.

I cant wait to get started reading all about Joel Salatin and his books. What a great discovery!!
Lol apple snob 😂 I love this topic .
I too lol about apple snob. :-)
Thank you every day Christiane.
