Hey cousins!  Happy July. We have a deep felt, powerful Cancer episode for you all this week. We’re gonna first start with exploration of Independence Day here in the US today by exploring Cancer themes of patriotism, nationalism, ancestors, family, tradition, and home, and what this day may bring up for minorities, mystics, and queers, and how to work with this energy when you are committed to a path of expansion and evolution through the practice of astrology.
 
Then, I am offering you a guided meditation for embodied health that is connected to astrology and ancestral healing, offering of love and forgiveness, clearing out spiritual debris within our karmic and ancestry line, which is part of the soul-centered cancer. I also introduce the idea of the pearl being a symbol for the soul-centered cancer.
 
And then, this week, instead of looking at an actual human’s birth chart, we are looking at the birth chart of the United States. So yes, you can look at and study the birth chart of entities as well. Events, collective energy, anniversaries, partnerships, all of that, so I explain what it is like to do a reading for something that is non-human as well, and then, we will look at some history, which is very cancer and honor the United States by looking at her birth chart. The United States is a Cancer sun, Aquarius Moon, Sagittarius rising. 
 
And then finally, we round this episode off chatting it up with inspiring cancer sun, pisces moon, taurus rising, Kelsey Bee of Deep Sea Astrology. Kelsea is a radical queer femme astrologer, whose practice incorporates an anti-oppression framework. In our convo we cover many rich topics including:
