Because it is August and the weather is hot and muggy, we discuss how to cope, or at least how to put the swamp-like weather into perspective.

This goes into a discussion about Heart season, the height of summer, when we can relax and enjoy human interconnectedness. Summer is unique in that is characterized not by the work of planting and harvesting, or hunkering down to survive the winter, but by a certain ease and openness. The extra daylight is also related to the archetype of the heart as Sovereign, surveying their kingdom. When we are connected to our heart then the rest of the body is correctly ordered.

The listener question we spend the rest of the episode getting into is about how we find our true vocation according to astrology.

We answer with “It’s simple, just look to … the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven, North Node, Saturn, major stellium, planetary rulership etc.” In other words, look at the whole chart and see the tendencies. Look at your life and see your own proclivities. Meditate and trust what guides you. Don’t be afraid to follow something that doesn’t automatically lead to money and wide social approval.
