it is motivational monday this week
we're venturing into the mystical with
some astrology 101. well if you've ever
heard the phrases mercury is in
retrograde or a virgo moon is rising and
wonder what the heck that means
astrologer and modern mystic stephanie
campos is here to help good morning good
morning hi good morning so astrology is
nothing new you know crystals and
chakras it's something we've kind of all
heard before but it seems like there's
been a resurgence lately yes i think you
know we are living through some
challenging times
um there's a lot of uncertainty and i
think people
turn to astrology and spirituality for
hope and just a sense of comfort forgive
my ignorance here um astrology what what
exactly is it how do you even define
astrology so astrology is the study of
planets and patterns uh it's a language
so as astrologers we are translating the
symbolic meanings of the planet's motion
and relating it to earthly events and
human affairs and you can use it in many
different ways so you can use astrology
for predictive techniques you can use it
for magical purposes and even for
self-reflection
what kind of magic
good magic always always yes i mean i
was looking i've seen birth charts you
know you people talk about the sun or
the moon and there's you know rising or
retrograde what do those some of those
things mean okay so the sun is your
identity your life purpose your mission
what you're here to do kind of like the
energy you're going to embody throughout
your life um the moon is more of your
internal world who you are on the inside
how you nurture yourself and others and
the rising sign is what you project
outward it's the zodiac sign that was
rising on the eastern horizon at the
time you were born
and it really sets up your chart so
and birth chart you say is actually
almost more reflective of your
personality as opposed to just your sign
absolutely so many people don't really
vibe with their zodiac sign um or your
sun sign and it's because there's ten
planets in the sky so your birth chart
is a snapshot of the sky the moment you
were born um and how all of those
different planets interact reveal
different things about your personality
um your life circumstances can you
google that
you can just google my birthday you can
there's forums online yeah they make
posters out of them people buy them yes
yeah that's the thing
what about i've always seen in the
movies uh you know like from james bond
they're flipping turret cards
what's the deal there okay so tarot it
there is a deck of 78 cards with rich
imagery and symbolism and each card
represents different karmic lessons or
life circumstances and challenges um
it's a tool you can use to tap into your
intuition or your subconscious
oh well yeah you seem quiet craig yeah i
mean there's a lot to talk about my mind
is blown
i know that's not to turn you into like
a carnival barker here so you're
marrying a taurus yes i am a taurus yes
but i'm a taurus in the last that you
can be a taurus it's right before you're
a gemini yeah so just based on that
information alone
what would you say about your personal
interview yeah well i checked we went
for yourself you told me you said
we'd have to plug you in to get like the
official lineup of your planets but it's
most it's likely that you have some
planets in gemini and gemini is ruled by
mercury the planet of communication
and look at you and anchor communicating
every day i have a question about you
know a lot of people a lot of people a
lot of people are into crystals yeah you
can even now there's a place by my kid's
school you go by and people go in what
is the meaning behind some of those i
mean besides the fact that yes beautiful
but there's meaning behind them right
yes absolutely so crystals channel
different energetic vibrations so for
example over there we have an amethyst
that is a wonderful stone for protection
for tapping into your intuition you know
if you're doing
meditation practice clear quartz is
going to be great for cleansing energy
um and also mental clarity um so people
just will buy it and just what just put
it on a shelf in the room i sleep with
crystals in my bed what do you think
that's pretty extreme that's pretty
extreme's a little bumpy it
is sometimes i get marks on my face no
yeah you know
it's okay but this isn't
science per se i mean people
should people be making major decisions
based
on this
i mean we're we have free will so i
think it's very important to
name that we all have agency and free
will i would never make a full decision
based on the stars alone um but it's a
tool and a guide and very helpful god
this is really fascinating okay i want
