I’m Taylor Marsh and this is ASTRAL SOUL LIGHTNING. A podcast about finding meaning through symbols, and the mysterious, with focus on instincts, intuition, and synchronicity. Welcome.Eclipses spur evolution. We're on the ramp to a rare solar eclipse this week which happens during the second new moon in Aries, with Jupiter, and a square, to boot!Eclipses are fated events meant to shake us awake, or deliver a reckoning. We often don't like the experience, but the divine nature of the God force demands we level up.There are dates you need in your calendar as this week begins.Here’s the setup: This week on Twitter a hashtag #WhyAmISoTired trended. Tweet after tweet people were talking about being exhausted. One of the hallmarks of tectonic planetary shifts above is that the building energy with aspect and transit upon transit acts like a weight on humanity, collectively, and on people personally. The shattering news we’ve seen develop in the last ten days is part of this energy. People can feel the push of impactful energy about to break open into change-making moments. We are on the cusp of revolutionary shifts.We're in the eclipse portal, and days before the second Aries new moon, with Mercury "retrograde" (a good thing) coming in to tie the energy bow. New era shifts hit us personally, collectively, and is why retrograde happens: integration. Synchronicity has a starring role as the week starts.The leaking of sensitive military and national security secrets online is the epitome of the shadow side of Pluto in Aquarius.This is synchronicity, with the cosmic alignment and the event in question matching the archetype and mythological meaning of Pluto in Aquarius. The shock-waves this sent through the Dept. of Defense will resound for decades.Special Counsel Jack Smith continues to dig down AND expand his investigation through court rulings. Will there be a karmic comeuppance for Trump? Tune in.What about women's freedoms? Autocratic politicians continue to single out women and our right to be free.Some yahoo in the Missouri state senate thinks it's a great idea for 12 year-old girls to be married. There's so much to talk about and understand.
