Welcome to season one of my podcast, where I’ll be exploring various Moon signs for correlations with each guest’s experience of the paranormal, psychic, the magical and all things woo.
This season premiers as the Moon enters her traditional detriment of Capricorn. I didn’t plan that, but it’s a good opportunity to talk about terms like detriment or exaltation; I use these throughout the episodes where I explain that they’re not judgments of good or bad; but they are qualities that I believe are relevant. The traditional 7 so-called planets are said to have essential dignity in various signs, even the Sun whose detriment is Aquarius and depression is in Libra. Does that mean those placements are bad? No, in the same way that minor keys and diminished chords are not bad; rather, they are necessary and have their place. So, I take essential dignities as one component of the type of song the stars were singing when you were born. Parts of you may not like the song, but other parts of you do and insist on their expression. The good or bad of it really is up to you.
On another note. Sometimes the conversations touch on health issues, and just in case something seems out of context or my position seems ambiguous, I want to clarify: if you or someone you know seems to be in distress, or is having medical or mental health problems, please get immediate conventional help. Astrology and such things are not your first or best answers.
Also, I sometimes refer to ritual or magical engagement of astrological forces. That’s not a mandate or requirement. For the curious, I would say that in the spectrum from “everyone is doing magic, just not well” to “you must be inducted into an authentic lineage and work your way up a grade system”, I’m in the section that says “know thyself and don’t do anything reckless.” A good practitioner has some training and knows the precautions as well as the risks. Because nothing is risk-free. Not even meditation, which I think is the best starting point for any progress toward magical work.
That should be it to get us started. I hope you enjoy episode; there are plenty more to come. You can support my work by becoming a free or paid subscriber on Substack, you can also find me on Instagram, or email me skyguyreadings@gmail.com
