It’s been a long time since I’ve done an “OTC” episode! These episodes are less structured and more illustrative. I invited Anastasia Wasco, writer, editor, and psychospiritual guide to talk about her experience of the Gemini-Sagittarius axis. Not only does she have a Sagittarius stellium (including Mercury in Sadge), but she’s also a Gemini rising. She’s pretty much the embodiment of the current situation along that Gemini-Sagittarius axis this month: Mercury rx Sadge opposite Jupiter rx Gemini (mutual reception in detriment).
I kind of just let her run free with her narrative, as I thought it was such an experiential representation of how Mercury moves through Sagittarius, especially when it’s retrograde: it jumps timelines, it explores, it detours, and extrapolates. It doesn’t give what’s expected or asked for, and yet...it does. It does it in its own oblique, philosophical way. Instead of simply answering, it expands.
Topics discussed in this episode:
Monomyth vs. other story structures
Neurodivergence and animism
Jupiter rx aspects in December: Jupiter opposite Mercury 12/4 & 12/26, sun opposite Jupiter
12-7, Venus trine Jupiter 12/19, Jupiter square Saturn 12-24 (second hit).
The 12/7 triple conjunction of Pluto, Venus, and Ceres at 0 degrees Aquarius and the
Persephone myth
Bottlenecks of information
“The forest for the trees”
Data without meaning, beliefs without facts
Confirmation bias and propaganda
