00:00:00:12 – 00:00:34:06

Christopher

Hello, my name is Christopher Renstrom and I'm your weekly horoscope columnist here on Astrology Hub. And I want to welcome you to this premium episode of the Astrology Hub podcast designed exclusively for you, our Inner Circle members. This time, I want to talk to you about the Sun Jupiter Square, taking place on September 12th. Now squares and astrology are basically understood as being combative aspects.

 

00:00:34:08 – 00:00:57:00

Christopher

it's essentially two planets come within range of one another. It's a it's a 90 degree relationship on the astrological circle. What happens when planets square one another is essentially they fight for one upmanship. one planet wants to do better than the other planet, which then wants to do better than the other planet, and therefore and so forth.

 

00:00:57:00 – 00:01:16:10

Christopher

And it goes on and on and on. Now it can be one upmanship in the, Annie, get your gun gun style, where Annie sings, you know, anything you can do, I can do better, you know? And then she gets into this contest with, this fellow that she's following in love with, you know, about who's a better shot?

 

00:01:16:12 – 00:01:33:04

Christopher

Okay, there's that sort of sense of a one upmanship. but then you can also have a sort of one upmanship with who gets the last word, you know, like, okay, so we're agreed that this is the end of a fight. Yes. This is the end of the fight. And we're agreed upon that, right? Yes. It's the end of the fight.

 

00:01:33:04 – 00:01:45:02

Christopher

It's the end of the fight. It's the end of the fight. You know, where each person is struggling to get the last word, and then the fight begins again, because one person and I believe that says to the other one, why do you have to get the last word? What do you mean? Why do I have to get the letter?

 

00:01:45:02 – 00:02:12:14

Christopher

And so it begins. So this is what's going on. When the planets square one, another, not all squares between planets are the same. some squares can be very, malicious, and even brutal, sort of like one of those cartoons where they're clubbing one another over the head. Except it's not a cartoon. It's real life, and it's happening to you psychologically, you know, that that can be very difficult.

 

00:02:12:14 – 00:02:40:03

Christopher

It can be very brutal. But then there are squares that aren't as difficult. I'm not ready to call them benign. You know, it can still be irritating when someone's trying to wind up you or, if you're trying to get the last word, it can still be a bit irritating. But nevertheless, it's not of the same nature where, you know, one planet is really actively trying to overpower or repress or undermine the other.

 

00:02:40:05 – 00:03:06:07

Christopher

As you might imagine, that's more along the nature of this. sun, Jupiter Square that's going to be taking place on September 12th. It's not malevolent. It's not mean spirited. but the sun and Jupiter have their differences just the same. The sun in astrology will always represent what I know about myself to be true. Many astrology books will refer to it as the ego.

 

00:03:06:07 – 00:03:30:03

Christopher

And. And I guess that's fine. I mean, it is fine, but I've always found that definition to be a bit, limited and judgmental. I prefer to see the sun as being the heart of the astrological chart. Like the solar system, the sun holds all the planets in place as they orbit around it. The sun serves the same function in an astrological chart.

 

00:03:30:05 – 00:04:01:05

Christopher

It's the gravitational center of the chart. All the planets, have struggled to have or have an easy relationship with the sun. So the sun is really the heart of the chart. It's the gravitational center of an astrological chart, and the sun also represents in a chart what I know about myself to be true. For instance, if you're a Virgo and and I were to say to you, you really identify with work, health and service, these things matter a lot to you.

 

00:04:01:07 – 00:04:25:16

Christopher

You're a very hard worker. You're a problem solver. and you like to come up with, results, hopefully results that you can repeat time and time again. some of you Virgos might out there might say, oh, yeah, I know that kind of sounds like me. And if you were to respond that way, you're basically I've. I've described features or characteristics that you find recognizable that you identify with.

 

00:04:25:16 – 00:04:51:10

Christopher

And, and so that's how that goes as, as, as far as describing a sun sign in an astrological chart, Jupiter is the planet of what I believe. Okay. Jupiter's purpose in the chart is to really talk about connecting to your high, higher purpose. What is your higher purpose? What? What is it that you believe in? do you believe in a moral universe?

 

00:04:51:12 – 00:05:19:09

Christopher

do you believe in an ideology? do you believe that there's no such thing as belief that that, you know, when people subscribe to beliefs, it actually brings out the worst in them. Or is your belief system perhaps very, pantheistic? You know, you're you're open to all sorts of, not only different beliefs and philosophies, but maybe even deities or, greater spirits as well.

 

00:05:19:11 – 00:05:54:12

Christopher

These things are all going to be described by Jupiter in your chart and, your connection to a higher purpose. The meaning of your life is very much a Jupiter, an idea. Now, the sun and Jupiter have a very, long history in, in in astrology, astrology, as we practice it here in the West, really comes from the Greek deities, the Greek deities, as they were sort of retranslated or repackaged in the Roman pantheon.

 

00:05:54:14 – 00:06:22:19

Christopher

many times we will talk about astrology originally, originating in, Hellenized Egypt and Egypt was Roman occupied. So there were elements of Rome and Egypt culturally that were intermixing with one another. And Rome, in terms of its deities, borrowed a lot from from the Greek, in fact, a little bit more than borrowing there, pretty much copied or, what's the word they use now?

 

00:06:22:19 – 00:06:51:13

Christopher

A day appropriated, so that the Greek god Zeus becomes Jupiter and the Greek god, Apollo becomes Helios, or even Apollon. in in in the Roman sol, there's another one. Lots of words for the name of the sun. In Greek mythology, Apollo is the son of Zeus. All right? He. He is really Zeus's favored child.

 

00:06:51:15 – 00:07:25:24

Christopher

And so, Apollo also comes to embody what is the most beautiful about the Greek body, the most gorgeous statues that were ever sculpted were set up, were sculpted about Apollo or to render Apollo, who was sort of seen as a young man, not a young adult, but a young man. And his prime of physical beauty. And so Apollo was given the attributes of being the god of poetry and song, Arts and culture, as well as sports.

 

00:07:26:01 – 00:07:52:24

Christopher

You might sort of like, start to see sort of Leo creeping in there. and Apollo was also known as the mind of Zeus. He spoke the mind of Zeus. And so Apollo also was, given the gifts of prophecy, the idea of know thyself was written over the, archway of the temple of Duffy, which was, which was sacred to Apollo.

 

00:07:53:01 – 00:08:21:15

Christopher

And that's where the great Delphic oracle, the Pythia, resided, and would answer questions or queries that people came from all around the ancient world to come and ask. So the idea of know thyself, which is basically it's a fascinating term that was associated to Apollo, the sun in astrology and is a comment on the ego. Know thyself, know thy heart, know your motives.

 

00:08:21:17 – 00:08:49:03

Christopher

Know what you're capable of. Know what you're not capable of. Be your own conscience. Be conscious. Okay, so and so. Consciousness is also associated to the sun. So Apollo was the spokesperson of the mind of Zeus. this is very different from Hermes or Mercury being the messenger of Zeus. basically one was this would say, hey, Hermes, come over here.

 

00:08:49:03 – 00:09:08:11

Christopher

You know, I want you to take down this memo, you know, and hurry. And Hermes being the messenger would be like the email blast or the tweet or the text that goes out from zooms. Okay. Hermes doesn't know the mind of Zeus. Hermes communicated the mind of Zeus or the will of Zeus to those who needed to know it.

 

00:09:08:13 – 00:09:34:12

Christopher

But Apollo. Apollo knew the mind of Zeus. So when Apollo spoke, there was a gravitas. There was a believability. People listened to Apollo. Apollo didn't have to flex his muscles or out shout, you know, he would speak with this eloquence, this poetic eloquence, and people would just be moved, and they would just know that that what Apollo was saying was true.

 

00:09:34:14 – 00:09:58:01

Christopher

All right. So that's just to sort of distinguish the difference between the sun and Mercury there. another way that the ancient Greeks described, the sun and Jupiter was the sun was Apollo in his chariot, you know, he would ride it across the sky and the sun would rise and be noon, and then it would start to set.

 

00:09:58:01 – 00:10:24:06

Christopher

So it was basically the light that was moving across the sky. But Jupiter, Jupiter was the sky. And a wonderful way to think of that. is is as a candle, you could light a candle in a dark room and you will you will see the candlelight, you know, and maybe you, you talk around the candle light and, you know, lights your face and and things like this.

 

00:10:24:06 – 00:10:48:09

Christopher

But but you see the candle, candlelight. You're drawn to the candlelight. People might talk around the candlelight a right to, to one another. But if you take something like, I don't know, a glass lamp, a hurricane lamp or something, and you put that over the candle. The light is then diffused throughout the dark room. You don't have to, you know, linger around the light.

 

00:10:48:09 – 00:11:20:20

Christopher

You can sit in a more relaxed position, you know, then you can see more of the room. Okay. You go from being in your face to seeing more of the room. And this is the idea of, luminescence, which is given to the planet Jupiter. It also goes with the idea of enlightenment. You know that when you're involved in philosophical discussions or when you when you think great thoughts or or you pray in meditation, all of these are attributes of Jupiter.

 

00:11:20:22 – 00:11:47:11

Christopher

All of these can be found in the two zodiac signs that to rule Sagittarius and and Pisces. this this idea of luminescence, this idea of enlightenment, this idea of understanding is connected to Jupiter. So what the ancient Greeks were trying to say is that you had a sun, you know, a sun god, riding his chariot, who appears on the dawn.

 

00:11:47:13 – 00:12:14:20

Christopher

But because the sky is Jupiter as the sun rises, it wasn't just a sort of pinpoint of light. As the sun rises on a new day, it fills the sky. You know it brings the day. So the sun is supported and augmented by the planet Jupiter. who was named after Zeus, who was the Greek god of the sky.

 

00:12:14:22 – 00:12:36:00

Christopher

And so when the sun set and was gone, you saw a dark night with all of these stars, and there was no real separation between us and the stars. It's almost like you could imagine falling into the stars, the the stars, the stars filled, filled the skies. But the when the sun came out, you could only see the sun.

 

00:12:36:00 – 00:13:04:23

Christopher

Because it was brighter than the. The stars. It filled the skies. And this was the association of like the, the candle, the lamp, the sun and Jupiter. It's often described nowadays as Jupiter expanding. And again, that's that's an okay word. But my problem with, you know, Jupiter is the planet of expansion is a it makes me think of an expanding waistline or thunder thighs or something along those lines.

 

00:13:04:23 – 00:13:32:06

Christopher

And Jupiter can be associated to that. But it doesn't really say much like expansion, like big getting bigger. And what's that mean? and that's just me. It's just I want the words when we talk about the planets and the signs to elicit ideas to go further than just, you know, stamping on the side, you know, a label like expansion on the forehead or or something along those lines.

 

00:13:32:08 – 00:14:10:18

Christopher

So. So Jupiter supports and augments whatever planet it comes within, range of but Jupiter being the king of the gods and group Greek mythology can also override, overrule and, overwhelm us as well. So when we have this square going on, this kind of, one upmanship going on between the sun and Jupiter, one might think that the sun would be, struggling to assert itself.

 

00:14:10:20 – 00:14:36:14

Christopher

And and Jupiter being the bigger one might be asserting itself even more so over the sun. And that might be an apt description. the square. It's kind of like, I don't know if you if you. Okay, if what comes to mind is, the film Mommie Dearest. Okay. Where, Faye Dunaway plays, plays Joan Crawford and she's, you know, drying her hair by by the pool.

 

00:14:36:14 – 00:15:05:19

Christopher

And, and Christina, her adopted daughter comes out, and I think Christina's all of, you know, seven or something like this, maybe even younger. And, she challenges, you know, Joan Crawford, to to swimming a lap, and, and they dive in the pool, and, and Christina's swimming as fast as she can, and, you know, so, Joan, the way is Joan Crawford is just, like, completely outpacing, you know, and she comes out of the pool and she dries her hair and and is like, that's not fair.

 

00:15:05:19 – 00:15:27:17

Christopher

That's not fair. You cheated. And she's like, oh, I didn't hear to Christina. And she's like, but you're bigger than me. You're stronger than me. And she's like, that's right, Christina, I'm bigger than you and I'm stronger than you. And I always will be, you know? So that might be one way of getting a certain Jupiter square that, that that there's an outmatch between the two.

 

00:15:27:17 – 00:15:44:01

Christopher

And certainly for the person being outmatched, it might be like, you know, angry, like, how could you, you know, outmatch me or why didn't you give me a break or let me take the lead or I'm a child, you're supposed to let me win or something like that. And Jupiter's like, you know, now I'm not going to do that.

 

00:15:44:01 – 00:16:06:07

Christopher

So. So there can be that can be an interpretation of, of the square, maybe two personalities in your life. And that's what's going on. You may be the bigger one, or you may be the lesser one who feels like you should get a break or a step up in some sort of way. But we can go a little further with this as well.

 

00:16:06:09 – 00:16:32:08

Christopher

when I look at a square, what I like to do is ask myself, is this an approaching square or departing square? Approaching now approaching a departing? What's this talking about? This. Personally, this took me a long time to wrap my head around. Okay, approaching and departing. I learned it decades ago, but I, I struggled, okay, but but approaching and departing is actually really quite simple.

 

00:16:32:10 – 00:16:58:13

Christopher

it's going to be based on one planet being faster moving than the other planet is. Right. So in this case, the sun is the faster moving planet. The sun will go through all 12 zodiac signs in one year. Okay, that's fast. All right. Not as fast as the moon, but it's fast. Jupiter. Jupiter will go through all 12 zodiac signs in 12 years.

 

00:16:58:15 – 00:17:24:17

Christopher

So if one planet is taking 12 months to go throughout the signs, one Europe and the other one's taking 12 years to go through all the signs, you can see very quickly that the sun is faster than Jupiter. Jupiter is slower. Let's say we know that right now Jupiter is in the zodiac sign of Gemini. let's say that the sun was approaching a square to Jupiter.

 

00:17:24:19 – 00:17:49:00

Christopher

Well, to determine that, what you would have to do is take Jupiter's and the zodiac sign of Gemini and and the sun for it to be approaching square to Jupiter in Gemini would have to be in Pisces. Why? Because Pisces is earlier in the zodiacal circle than Gemini is now. At first you might be like, oh, what? What do you mean?

 

00:17:49:00 – 00:18:13:06

Christopher

It's earlier than Gemini is a spring sign, you know? but Pisces is the wind is the last of the winter sign before the new year. So when you look at a circle, Gemini comes later in the year than Pisces does. This is kind of asking you to sort of put on the thinking cap and do a point of view.

 

00:18:13:07 – 00:18:54:18

Christopher

But when we are in, for instance, Pisces season, right? And we're talking about plans that we have in, late May and June. that's actually a wonderful example of an approaching square. We're in Pisces season, where at the end of the year and we're talking about plans in late May and June, maybe it's wedding plans. You know, we're we're we've been invited to a wedding or or maybe it's going to be what are we going to do after school is out or something like that, where we're projecting into the future if we're in, Pisces season, and the sun will always tell you what time of year your, you're at according to the

 

00:18:54:18 – 00:19:19:17

Christopher

sign that it's in. If you're in Pisces season and you're making plans for June, that's an approaching square. So the sun hasn't reached Jupiter yet? it's not living in the Jupiter moment. It's not conjunct Jupiter. That would be living in the Jupiter moment there. Okay, so it's making plans for it's approaching. There's going to be anticipation. There's going to be, well, these are my plans.

 

00:19:19:17 – 00:19:41:02

Christopher

And this is what I would like to do. Hey, you know Shelly, are you free? You know, and Shelley's like, let me check my calendar. I think I am, you know? And so you have these plans that you're making for a future event, okay, with an expectation or an anticipate of how it's all going to play out of how it's all going to be all right.

 

00:19:41:02 – 00:20:04:03

Christopher

So you're looking forward to reaching the destination. That would be an approaching square. you can apply that to things like approaching sextile and approaching Trines as well. Okay. So so so so so you're journeying towards a destination. This is what you're expecting to happen when when the two planets conjoin, they're at the same time. When when the sun reaches Jupiter.

 

00:20:04:04 – 00:20:29:15

Christopher

Right. A separating square, means that the sun is past where? Where Jupiter was. I'm still working with this model of the Saturn. Jupiter square. A separating square means that the sun is in front of Jupiter now. Okay. And so for the sun to be in front of Jupiter right now, it has to be in the sign that squares Gemini.

 

00:20:29:17 – 00:20:50:08

Christopher

After a conjunction or after the sun has passed through Gemini, we can use the sun very easily to help us determine the time. Gemini is earlier in the year than Virgo is if the sun is in Virgo. If I'm at the end of summer, which is where we are right now here in the Northern Hemisphere, I'm looking back at events that had happened in June.

 

00:20:50:10 – 00:21:11:18

Christopher

Okay, I'm separating from from my square is separating and maybe the wedding didn't go so well. Maybe, you know, Shelley had too much to drink. Maybe, you went on a trip and a cruise and it was an unholy bore. Or. Or there was a cold, and it broke out on the ship, and everyone got sick or something like that.

 

00:21:11:18 – 00:21:35:23

Christopher

So, so so your past, what? That moment was okay? And you're thinking back on it or maybe change things happened. Maybe at, the wedding. you know, you met Nick, who was part of the groom's, party. And maybe Nick was like, I'm really into you, you know? And maybe you're like, Nick, you know? And then maybe Nick was like, let's make plans to get together, you know?

 

00:21:35:23 – 00:22:00:20

Christopher

And so maybe one of the things that you're taking from that wedding in June was having met Nick, and now you're dating or something like that. So, so and you might be like, oh, that wedding was wonderful, Nick. I just love Nick. Or maybe Nick was was was a was a pill, you know, and maybe things didn't work out with Nick and you're like, maybe Nick is still calling and you're just like, oh God, you know, why did I ever meet?

 

00:22:00:22 – 00:22:21:02

Christopher

Why did I give my number to Nick at the wedding? He's he's he's just really, you know, always calling and bothering me. I can't stand Nick. So, so so a departing square is. You've experienced the event, and maybe it's inspired you, you know, to go and and take a new road or a path in your life. Maybe it's regret.

 

00:22:21:02 – 00:22:45:06

Christopher

Why did I ever give Nick my telephone number? You know, Or maybe it's just, you know, things hadn't worked out. Or maybe it's a reverie or something, but, you know, there's approaching square, which is the anticipation of. And the departing square, which is living with the consequences of living with the consequences or what happened, you know, as a result of, of texting Nick your number anyway.

 

00:22:45:06 – 00:23:08:04

Christopher

So, so, so that's just to demonstrate that. So when I look at a square, I don't like to say, okay. I mean I have to say okay. Squares are about one upmanship and squares are about getting the last word. Or they can be even more brutal. Okay. Than, than that. but I want to I want to get more than just, like, conflict.

 

00:23:08:04 – 00:23:31:06

Christopher

Okay? There's a conflict going on, all right? There's a conflict. It's square. What kind of conflict? A conflict between what and what? where am I in this conflict? Am I on the Jupiter side of the conflict, or am I on the one side of the conflict, or am I watching people have this conflict? You know, which where am I with with this, with this square?

 

00:23:31:08 – 00:23:56:09

Christopher

All right, so, what you want to do is sort of like, connect some ideas to Virgo, and then you want to connect some ideas to Gemini. Okay. Virgo, let's go with what we mentioned earlier. Virgo is the zodiac sign of work, health and service. meaning that Virgo is very much about work and working hard and doing a good job.

 

00:23:56:11 – 00:24:21:22

Christopher

Health. It's very concerned about the body. Virgos are often involved in health professions, where, they administer to someone health wise, or they consult or they do energy work or they do masseuse work or, or something along those lines. So, that could be a health thing. Or maybe they're, working more in terms of, like, helping people with their health insurance or, or navigate the paperwork.

 

00:24:21:24 – 00:24:48:04

Christopher

These are just general ideas. And then surface, surface is very important to Virgos. a lot of people can think like service. Oh, that's so servile, you know, that's so subservient. That's a lower position. But as we all learned during the Covid lockdown, where would we have been without the essential workers, you know, people working in service? Hello.

 

00:24:48:09 – 00:25:14:14

Christopher

Okay. And if it weren't for them, we would have been and are really, we would have been in a worse place than we were going through that entire experience. So Virgos very much are, are dedicated, committed to a life of service. it could be a service profession, or it could be just that, you know, it's like, hey, you know, Jim, could you maybe pick me up a beer and Jim's like, on it, you know?

 

00:25:14:20 – 00:25:35:07

Christopher

And so, you know, Jim's become the servant. He was going and getting the beer and bringing it back. I'm like, whoa, dude, you know, great game or something like that. So, so, so performing a task and delivering would be very for going. Okay. we also know that Virgo is an Earth sign, so, it wants to get results.

 

00:25:35:07 – 00:26:00:07

Christopher

It doesn't want to just, like, slave away at something. It wants to, to, to produce results at the end of the day. And that's also going to be very important to a Virgo as well. And Virgo see themselves as being separate. Oh, Earth signs. Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn see themselves as being separate. They all see themselves as being a part.

 

00:26:00:09 – 00:26:21:13

Christopher

Earth is an element and in astrology, and is the element of health and wealth. That's a very easy way to understand Earth signs. And so Earth signs are very much about health and wealth. The big thing that a Earth sign struggles with. The big question. The big issue is how do I live in a world where everything ultimately falls apart?

 

00:26:21:15 – 00:26:43:02

Christopher

Now that can sound a little bit dreary or gloomy or like God, that's the way you always think of things. But Earth signs do. Earth signs know things fall apart. time runs out, money is spent and there's nothing more on the bank account. So Earth signs are very aware that we live in a world where food spoils.

 

00:26:43:04 – 00:27:10:00

The moment that was right has passed, That you have to make the most of your resources. But the Earth signs are also very aware of their body. And then anything that's an extension of the body, loved ones, you know, maybe, maybe, maybe children's or loved children or loved partners. but the body, in terms of what it's produced, you know, this is how much money I make, the status I have in life.

 

00:27:10:04 – 00:27:28:20

Christopher

This is what I can afford to buy. This is what I, populate my home with. This is what I eat. You know, these are things that are important to earth science. And they judge the different, strata. They judge the different quality of it. Like. Like there are going to be Earth signs who insist that it be the that our food is.

 

00:27:28:20 – 00:27:54:24

Christopher

They they insist that it be that that the eating experience is the most sensual, beautiful experience that can be. And then there are signs who go to a fast food, you know, and gorge down whatever, because they're fueling up the body to get up and going and going back to work or about their lives. So, so Earth signs are very much about their body, themselves, their property, what they own.

 

00:27:55:04 – 00:28:18:03

Christopher

And so Earth signs are very protective and very sheltering of themselves and the people that they care for. But we're born into a body, and our bodies house our spirit and our soul. and so the body basically is this home, this place that we're born into. But when you're born into a body, you are part from another body.

 

00:28:18:05 – 00:28:40:11

Christopher

Now, some people might be like, okay, so what? But Earth signs are very aware that my body is different than your body. You know, we're at different ages. We're at different economic statuses in our life. I can't stand that perfume. You're wearing or that Cologne. Where'd you get it? You know? So, so so the sensual isn't just like the pleasure.

 

00:28:40:11 – 00:29:04:18

Christopher

It's it's it's tactile, you know, it's it's it's it's an awareness of being alive in the body. But the body is also separate. The idea that we're born alone and that we die alone is something all the earth science talks Virgo, Capricorn take very seriously. They take very personally. This is not the case with the Earth signs. Okay.

 

00:29:04:20 – 00:29:33:23

Christopher

or Earth signs. Let's call it my body myself, okay? And we'll automatically assume that the responsibility is on their shoulders. Or if they can only rely on themselves or they're the providers, the builders, of of the zodiac signs know that no man or woman is an island. No one is alone. and that's because air signs are connected to the idea of relationship that you that you pair off with someone.

 

00:29:34:00 – 00:29:53:13

Christopher

Now, you might pair off with just one person, or you might pair off with a number of different people, or you might be a part of society and the society is an entity made up of the diversity of all the individuals in it. For instance, the Aquarian tenet of a society is only as good as the people in it.

 

00:29:53:15 – 00:30:18:21

Christopher

That is an idea that's very much an Aquarian idea. And Aquarius is the third of the three air signs. The air signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. So, an air sign will look to befriend. An air sign will look to build a bridge between me and another person. An air sign will look to coordinate efforts, you know, hey, could you help me out with this?

 

00:30:19:02 – 00:30:34:12

Christopher

And maybe I can help you out with that? Or. Or why don't you work on this right now? And I'm going to work on that, and then we'll come together. You know, where maybe we take a meeting about it or a conference or or we're open to all these different ideas and all this input and okay, people, these that was great ideas.

 

00:30:34:12 – 00:31:05:01

Christopher

And there's wonderful input. Now let's put it together and some sort of coherent policy or plan or mission statement or community action points. Okay. So air signs wouldn't even think twice about asking for someone else's opinion. What they think of something, what the resources are to, help them do something better. You know, I'm struggling with this.

 

00:31:05:01 – 00:31:25:20

Christopher

Can you help me with this? Or can you help me figure out where I went off? the track here. Why? I'm having a problem with this. And another person is like, oh, it's really easy. You you have to carry over the one when you add these numbers, you know? So, so coordination, communication, working with collaboration, these are very air sign ideas.

 

00:31:25:22 – 00:31:58:11

Christopher

All right. And and so an air sign wouldn't really think of doing anything on its own. It's going to do it with, with other other people. And so this is kind of a difference you can bring up with these two. And so you could sort of see right off the bat when we're describing the square between Sun and Jupiter, you've got the sun part, and an Earth sign, which is going to have a tendency more to like, you know, let me go off and take care of this on my own or fix this alone, like light, like I'm looking to myself to work on this.

 

00:31:58:11 – 00:32:16:14

Christopher

Okay. And then you've got air signs who are like, why don't we go? I'll go off and and work on this and, and talk about it and, and input ideas and communicate and and things like that. And the Earth sign is like, you know, it's the Earth signs are always like, oh, we're taking a meeting to take a meeting.

 

00:32:16:14 – 00:32:29:19

Christopher

You know, they're just sort of like, can I just have some time to work on this? I'll get it done and it'll be fine. And the air signs are like, let's all work on it, you know, what does this have to say? And and what is rules, you know, well, if you've been a little quiet, what do you have to say?

 

00:32:29:22 – 00:33:10:09

Christopher

Okay. So you could see you could see the square going on between. These are two very different perspectives. These are two very different ideas. these are two very different approaches. Okay. And that again may be something that that describes what's going on in your life. So we've got, we've got the elemental differences between these two signs. And a lot of times people say, well, Gemini's Mercury ruled Virgos, Mercury ruled what's you know, aren't they just both like, cerebral and problem solving and, full of curiosity and.

 

00:33:10:11 – 00:33:32:08

Christopher

No, they aren't. It's very different. you know, very quickly said, you know, a Gemini might be really into discussing a problem and all the possibilities and things and ways it could be solved. And a Virgo is going to go and take that problem and work on it by themselves and try to figure out what it is and come back and present the answer to everyone else.

 

00:33:32:10 – 00:33:58:23

Christopher

Okay, that, in a nutshell would be the difference between between the two of them, but we can go a bit deeper there as well. what you have with Gemini is play. Okay. Gemini is associated with the twins. in astrology, Gemini describe sibling relationships. Each of the air signs will describe, different type of relationship.

 

00:33:59:00 – 00:34:26:13

Christopher

Gemini is sibling relationships. Libra is a couple or a pairing or business partnership. Partnership. And then Aquarius is the person within the group. A lot of times people like to say, oh, it's the collective. And it's like, the sun is still on the zodiac sign of Aquarius. There's still an ego or gravitational center. So. So it's the individual within the group, you know, and Aquarians.

 

00:34:26:13 – 00:34:46:08

Christopher

The great question is, do you feel like a face in the crowd? You know, like you could be anybody or are you consensus building and you're very concerned about what other people think and really making sure that all opinions are heard. And and then how do you, govern that? How do you work with that? As, as an Aquarian, which is a whole other thing, obviously.

 

00:34:46:08 – 00:35:08:01

Christopher

So so what we can have here, and I'd like to take three ideas of differences when I'm looking at a square. Okay. So I'm going to I'm going to bring in Gemini is play. and and it's the curiosity, you know, Gemini has an affiliation to the third house, which is early education. so you know, which and what's early education?

 

00:35:08:06 – 00:35:29:09

Christopher

Playgrounds and classrooms. All right. It's playgrounds and classrooms. So in the classroom, you know, you're being called upon to answer and either you're like, I know that answer or you're like, I hope I'm not called upon, you know? And then the playground is like, let's play Foursquare or handball or this, this fun little game. And and on the playground it can be like very playful.

 

00:35:29:09 – 00:35:46:01

Christopher

You're meeting and greeting your friends, maybe from other classes or the playground may have been, dreadful. Or it might have been, you know, where the bullies, you know, came and found you or or you might have wanted to play a game and everyone's like, yeah, well, locked game, you know, closed game. You're not admitted. So.

 

00:35:46:06 – 00:36:09:10

Christopher

So you learn a lot about interactions with other people from early education, and that's all wrapped up in the zodiac sign of Gemini. But a lot of it is done through play, you know, do I want to play with you or not? You know, and so when we get to Virgo, it's work, okay? It's how you work.

 

00:36:09:12 – 00:36:23:10

Christopher

And, if you're thinking of a classroom or something like that, you know, a lot of times, you know, if you're called upon as a students, like, you know, do I know this answer or not? Is you sort of like, look on someone else's page. And so so there's a singling out that can happen kind of in that type of a thing.

 

00:36:23:10 – 00:36:47:17

Christopher

But where I really want to go with Virgo is how do you work with a colleague? How do you work with a coworker, how do you work with other people? So one is about play and one is about working, with, with with other people. And, and so, Gemini is going to have a much more playful attitude or approach to things.

 

00:36:47:19 – 00:37:15:07

Christopher

And, Virgo is going to have a more serious approach to things. another image I like to use for Virgo is, a musician, you know, like, let's take a pianist. Okay. Gemini and Virgo both ruled the hands because Mercury, the ruling planet, rules the hands. And I've seen a lot of musicians, I've seen a lot of card players that I've seen a lot of musicians born under Virgo.

 

00:37:15:09 – 00:37:38:17

Christopher

because it's it's it's, the eye to hand coordination, but it's the practice. It's the practice. And what is a pianist do? They practice every day and they practice for hours every day. And so they build the muscles. They perfect the technique, you know. So all of that perfectionism of Virgo, I like to sort of swap out the word perfectionism for the verb perfect.

 

00:37:38:19 – 00:38:08:09

Christopher

Not the noun perfect, but the verb perfect. The more that a Virgo practice is something, the more that it perfects. And again, we get this idea of work. I mean, a pianist is playing a piano, but if it's a concert pianist or a serious pianist, you're playing because you're practicing and you're practicing in order to perfect your technique, to make it better, or at least to keep it working as, as an instrument.

 

00:38:08:11 – 00:38:31:17

Christopher

because if you were just stop and take some time off, you you might be off with the timing or off with with your technique. Okay. So that's one difference between the two, zodiac signs. another one is tangible results versus possibilities. Okay. With Virgo, it's an Earth sign, as I, described before, and it wants tangible results.

 

00:38:31:19 – 00:38:47:13

Christopher

You know, if I do everything on my to do list, you know, I got the laundry, I did the food shopping, I've had the parakeet, you know, or whatever. I can finish my day with the sense of accomplishment. I got everything to do on my to do list. My. My life was defined by this To-Do list. I did everything on it.

 

00:38:47:13 – 00:39:11:00

Christopher

All the checks are right down there, and I feeling very complete and realized as a person. Okay, Geminis aren't really like that. I mean, they are to an extent, but Geminis love the what if question. What if we were to switch dry cleaners? What if we, eight vacant right now instead of, you know, meal based diet?

 

00:39:11:02 – 00:39:38:05

Christopher

You know, Gemini is always playing with the possibilities. It's always playing with the very variables, and it wants to play with them. not just because it's a way out or something else to do. It's much more interesting than doing something by rote. No. With Gemini, with with playing with possibilities, lies the possibility of a discovery of a revelation.

 

00:39:38:07 – 00:39:57:22

Christopher

You know, I was just fiddling around with this formula or tinkering around with this sentence or something, and then all of a sudden they discover, Eureka! I found it like, oh my God, this is the formula for, I don't know, like atomic fusion or like, Eureka, I found it. this is like a really great sentence or I unlock the novel that was in my head.

 

00:39:57:22 – 00:40:26:03

Christopher

You know, it's not about Sarah, it's about Billy. It's Billy's story, you know? So. So Geminis are fiddling and playing with things, sometimes they're too distracted or an absentee manager or because they're, like, bored with what they're doing. But a lot of times that can lead to a discovery, okay? A lot of times they can, like, hit upon something and, you know, and, and all of a sudden, like the clouds part and they can see, you know, what, what to do with the situation.

 

00:40:26:05 – 00:40:52:12

Christopher

you know, you know, the word inspiration. You can be like, oh, I'm looking for an inspiration. And maybe you're sitting there drawing or painting or whatever, and you're, like, uninspired and and you're in a, you know, staring contest with that blank sheet of paper that, that blank computer screen or that blank canvas, you know, and you're looking for an inspiration and then, you know, something comes in and inspires you and you're like, you know, and you suddenly at work, this is an inspiration.

 

00:40:52:12 – 00:41:10:11

Christopher

What a Gemini does is that it's like, let's, let's, let's throw the card in front of the horse. Let's put the horse in front of the cart. Let's put the horse on the cart, steering the cart. Let's put the cart on top of the horse and make a political economic statement. You know, they play with different things. They play with different combinations.

 

00:41:10:13 – 00:41:31:16

Christopher

And this gets the mind activated and this gets realization and this, this, this creates a lot of thinking and a lot of thought and so again, it's the idea of play. But now in combining it with possibilities, Gemini will always be of the mind that, well, why does it have to be this way again or this way always?

 

00:41:31:20 – 00:41:50:08

Christopher

Why don't we try this? Why don't we try that? Why don't we, like, not do anything at all and throw it all away and start with something else? Okay, this is the Gemini. It's always open to the possibility. and that's not going to sit well with Virgo. Think of the pianist. You know, when they sit down at the piano and they play every day.

 

00:41:50:08 – 00:42:18:07

Christopher

They play every day. Too perfect to make it better. So Virgo, Virgo really, is more format oriented. in terms of perfecting a format. Gemini might be a little bit more inventive, you know, willing to go outside that and look for different things. So the last idea that I had on my come up with three things, Christopher, how did it work with the square?

 

00:42:18:09 – 00:42:41:22

Christopher

The last idea that I had of being different between these two signs is alone versus pairing. And I already kind of talked about that a little bit before, Virgo sees it as taking it upon its shoulders, to do basically the grunt work or most of the work, or taking it upon its own shoulders to do the organizing or to come up with the format.

 

00:42:42:02 – 00:42:59:23

Christopher

Format is the way that something appears, the way that something is done. Virgos know that if you're in charge of the format and you present a format, people will follow it. That means you don't have to bust them. That means you don't have to like, scold them. You come up with the format. You say, you know, basically this is this is how it's done.

 

00:42:59:23 – 00:43:22:21

Christopher

And everyone's like, okay, you know, they follow it. So, so Virgos are very format oriented that way, but they may be the ones who, like, came up with the idea by themselves. You know, there's always something that's a little bit separate. There's always something a little bit apart and definitely taking it upon themselves to do, the labor, the work, the hard thinking, etc..

 

00:43:22:23 – 00:43:43:10

Christopher

Gemini is always looking to another person, okay? Gemini is always looking to another person. They twin. That's what they do naturally. And so the sign of the twins, are they twin? So Geminis are twinning 24 seven. They'll twin with the grocery checkout person. They'll twin with the Amazon driver who's coming up and delivering the twin with the dog walker.

 

00:43:43:10 – 00:44:00:18

Christopher

They'll twin with the best friend, you know. And what do I mean by twinning? Are they just sort of like duplicates of one another? No, they they bond with one another where one plays one half of the equation and the other plays the other half of the equation. You know, like with siblings. Let's take cliches with siblings. Oh, that's the pretty one.

 

00:44:00:18 – 00:44:27:20

Christopher

So you must be the smart one. or that's the kind one. So you must be the evil, you know. So it's the idea. The idea of twinning always brings in contrasts. It's not just a duplicate copy, okay? It's a contrast. That's why the word duality is used with, with, Gemini. You know, they, they, they see both sides of something, but they don't see both sides of something like Libra.

 

00:44:27:22 – 00:44:44:05

Christopher

You know, Libra is keeping its eye on each dish in the balance and weighing, you know, the equation. But Gemini is kind of like, I'm going to play the smart one and you play the pretty one, okay? Or I'm going to be the loser and you be the winner, okay? Or I'm going to be the space hero and you're going to be the bad guy.

 

00:44:44:07 – 00:45:09:00

Christopher

Okay. so it's I mean, think of your childhood again. I'm, I'm it, and I'm looking for you. Okay? Okay. So. So that's the easiest way to sort of think of the Gemini pairing, but they're not like pairing to be extensions of one another. They're pairing in contrast. You know, I'm going to be like the teacher. So you have to be the student or you're the doctor and I'll be the patient.

 

00:45:09:00 – 00:45:41:05

Christopher

Oh that hurts. Okay, okay. So so this is what's going on with the Gemini, the idea of pairing. So we talked about the square. We talked about this being a departing square. So what what can we see with this Jupiter. Some square that's taking place on September 12th. it's a departing square inasmuch as the sun is in Virgo, which is ahead of Gemini, but the sun never conjoined to Jupiter in Gemini this year.

 

00:45:41:07 – 00:46:06:21

Christopher

In other words, the sun entered Gemini earlier than Jupiter, entered Gemini on May 25th, and Jupiter has been behind the sun since. so so the sun is in front of Jupiter, but they were never really on the same page. All right, I know that's sort of technical thing. And why did they even bring that up? The reason I bring it up is that they conjoined in the previous sign.

 

00:46:07:00 – 00:46:36:01

Christopher

Okay. They would have conjoined in the sign of Taurus. So maybe this departing square is referring to unfinished business or something that, yeah, maybe the, the the, the departing square refers to finishing unfinished business. or maybe, the departing square refers to thinking of going back to something that you can never go back, that you can't go back to right now.

 

00:46:36:03 – 00:47:00:09

Christopher

you can't revise the you can't revise an agreement. You can't take back a sale. you can't say, Oh, I don't want to do that now. Because the Sun Jupiter conjunction took place in Taurus, which is not Gemini, which means it's not squaring the sun in Virgo, but actually trining it. Okay, so there is a playing out from a trying.

 

00:47:00:09 – 00:47:28:00

Christopher

Something happened that you can't go back and redo or take back. And so the square because the previous conjunction was in a like element Earth is actually a supportive square. Okay. So this square is really, supportive. It's, it's, it's saying you can do this square. So what comes to mind to me when I think of this? It's a departing square.

 

00:47:28:00 – 00:47:49:01

Christopher

The sun's looking over at shoulder. You know, at Jupiter that saying goes on, we can do this. You know, that's kind of the idea that I get about the square and two things come to mind. One is, the scene from a Korean rom com I watched, like, a couple of years ago. Okay. I'm a fan of Korean rom coms.

 

00:47:49:01 – 00:48:18:03

Christopher

I completely admit it. All right. So. But, where this person who was, like a camp guidance counselor or whatever for kids taking care of kids or whatever was letting the kids swim, and someone said to him, don't don't let them swim. You know, in this pond it's too deep for them. And his response to this other person was like, oh, they're fine, you know, I mean, don't, don't, don't underestimate them.

 

00:48:18:03 – 00:48:37:14

Christopher

They're kids. They're in a pool and it's good for them to swim. This is a this is a good thing, you know. And then he turns around and, and the kid has disappeared under the surface of the of the pool, and everyone's diving. And actually he dives and rescues the kid. It gives mouth to mouth resuscitation and brings them back to life and has this complete scare.

 

00:48:37:14 – 00:49:06:07

Christopher

Okay. the reason that that was one way of looking at, a Jupiter sun square with a with the sun departing the square to Jupiter is you can hear or what I heard, and that was Jupiter. Like, oh, don't, don't, don't baby them. They're big enough that could do this. You know that Jupiter and enthusiasm and like they're big enough for this and Jupiter being the bigger planet saying you know, yeah, of course you could do this.

 

00:49:06:07 – 00:49:43:19

Christopher

Like let's go ahead and do this, you know, and, and, and sort of pushing the kid to do that, you know, answering the person who's critiquing it, turning around the child has disappeared, you know, monster mouth resuscitation. So, so, so what it is is that, what it brings in is if you are on the Jupiter side, did you push a situation further than it should have gone, you know, or did you take on something, with more bravado and more like surety, you know, then and did that sort of like, supersede, did that make you insensitive to another person's limitations?

 

00:49:43:19 – 00:50:06:01

Christopher

You know, did your bigness of vision or your your confidence that, you know, Little Willy could do this, you know, or Sharon can take care of herself, you know, did that confidence, that sort of coming from a place of being adult or bigger or better than someone? did that result in the person who was being guided by you?

 

00:50:06:01 – 00:50:28:16

Christopher

Were supported by you stumbling and falling? and you were actually having to come to their rescue. And by coming to the rescue, becoming sensitive that the person's not that good or they're not that far along, or they don't know as much as you assumed that they knew, or they don't know as much as you and decided they should have known, you know.

 

00:50:28:16 – 00:50:49:08

Christopher

So in that moment, if you're the Jupiter part of the equation, bringing bringing down your expectations, you know, learning that they were too high for, for the person and sort of ratcheting them down to adjust, you know, to, to adjust so that you can help the person. Yeah. You're bigger than the person. Yeah. You're you're a faster swimmer than Christina.

 

00:50:49:12 – 00:51:18:12

Christopher

Joan Crawford, you know. But does that make you a better person? Does that make you a better parent? Like, what was the moral of that story? All you did was, you know, like out swam a kid who's like, you know, like a fourth your size or, or something along those lines. So. So it's Jupiter, like, whoa. You know, maybe I should dial it back down here and take seriously when someone says that they're struggling or they're not as far along, or they're not as on top of the game as they say they are, or that I think they are, so.

 

00:51:18:12 – 00:51:41:01

Christopher

So that might be part of the realization here with this, square. Maybe that might be the Jupiter component, that might be that you might identify with more that you might recognize more perhaps in your life. So let's talk about the the son in Virgo component. Okay. The sun is a in astrology, the sun is regarded as a smaller planet than Jupiter.

 

00:51:41:01 – 00:52:10:12

Christopher

Okay. it's it's regarded as being, a smaller planet that, that that Jupiter is a much more powerful force in an astrological chart. And that's basically you know, that's a very simple thing. The, sun goes around the zodiac sign in one year. Jupiter takes 12 years to go around it. the sun goes through the daytime sky and shows up on a new day, and it takes 12 hours to go through the daytime sky.

 

00:52:10:18 – 00:52:43:17

Christopher

Whereas when it's nighttime and you're looking at Jupiter in the sky, Jupiter as a light stays in that position far longer than the sun does as it travels through the sky. So this is why Jupiter was seen as greater, larger, bigger. so let's take the sun in Virgo component. You know what? What might you feel if you're a sun in Virgo who's being, you know, supported by this Jupiter, as I said, because the conjunction which precedes the square was a trine, not a square.

 

00:52:43:19 – 00:53:04:14

Christopher

What's happened for for you, if you're relating to the Virgo part or the sun part of the square is that since the end of May, you may have felt very much encouraged to go down a path, encouraged to, try something new and different. And there's something new and different. Maybe it's not different. Maybe it's new. Maybe.

 

00:53:04:14 – 00:53:22:09

Christopher

Maybe it originated from something you were doing before. but you're really gaining a lot of confidence about it. You're feeling really, really good about it. And maybe the people around you are saying, you can do this. You've got this, you know, this wonderful. You're you're on top of your game, you know, sun in Virgo person part of component of square, you know.

 

00:53:22:09 – 00:53:40:23

Christopher

And so you're like, yeah I can do this. I'm on top of my game. This is great. Well what this puts me okay I do watch a lot of TV, I confess. so so I'm completely obsessed with this show called The Bear right now. Like, it's in season three, but I just discovered it. But the fun thing about that is I get to watch all three seasons.

 

00:53:40:23 – 00:54:08:17

Christopher

Anyway. it's about, a chef in a very in a New York, prestigious restaurant who walks out on his job, comes back to his family sandwich shop, which was run by his beloved older brother who had committed suicide. He was a drug addict. And so this chef, Carmen, takes it over, and and he's going to he's going to do what his brother did, which was to run the shop.

 

00:54:08:19 – 00:54:29:11

Christopher

and, and and he's going to make good to his brother, you know, he's doing this out of, grief for for the loss of his brother. And he's also doing it out of family obligation and in some regard. So he's come back to Chicago to take over this, like, you know, sandwich shop, which isn't really that. I mean, it's known for, I don't know, it's kind of like meatball sandwiches or something like that.

 

00:54:29:13 – 00:54:57:20

Christopher

And so he's going to like, you know, rethink the menu and rethink the sandwiches and things like that. And, he befriends or this really befriend this, his ultimately she becomes his, business partner, his restaurant partner. she starts out as his sous chef. Sidney shows up and she knows who he is. And, And she wants to work with him, to to to learn under him.

 

00:54:57:20 – 00:55:15:03

Christopher

Really? You know, she's kind of like the Virgo character here. She wants to, you know, learn under him and and and she's going to come to work for, like, almost nothing at the sandwich shop and they're going to try to put a get together. But what happens here, is actually Sydney's a little bit more Jupiter and part of this component.

 

00:55:15:08 – 00:55:39:24

Christopher

What happens here is that Sydney, who ran her own catering business, she sees the sandwich shop and sees that it's really kind of like a sari excuse for a restaurant. And she wants Carmen to be back to where Carmen was before. Actually, Sydney's really the Jupiter part of this equation. So she sees, she knows that Carmen was this famous chef who worked at this famous, prestigious New York City restaurant.

 

00:55:40:03 – 00:56:02:19

Christopher

He's back in Chicago. she she's learning with him, and he teaches her a lot. That's a lot of their relationship. But she wants him to do more. She has a vision of him being better than his circumstances, and she knows he can do that. And so she's supporting that, and he likes that. But he also was burnt out and had a very difficult experience and is grieving his brother.

 

00:56:02:19 – 00:56:26:09

Christopher

So he's not in that headspace. Yeah. You know, he's kind of like, let me work in the family shop and center myself in my life. I walked out on a lot of big things and responsibilities and and things like this. And so what she does is that she, you know, in one moment she's supposed to have served a sandwich to someone, but she was experimenting with the dish that she gave to this person.

 

00:56:26:11 – 00:56:52:05

Christopher

because Carmen's like, that's fine, but we're doing sandwiches, like, who cares and whatever, and she's like, whatever. And she goes, and she gives this guy, you know, this, I don't know, it's a pasta dish or something like this, and he eats it and that you think that that's it. Until you discover in the following episode he was actually a food critic that was coming to revisit the shop, was commenting on how good the sandwiches were, but then gushes about the dish that that Sydney made.

 

00:56:52:07 – 00:57:26:24

Christopher

And so, Sydney has also sort of set them up to take short orders, you know, as being as augmenting the business. And so what happens is it's season one, I think it's episode four. What happens is everyone's read the review, it's a glowing review. and all these short orders come in. So this is a sandwich shop in which they were used to people coming in, lining up, and they were, you know, short order cook, you know, but instead, all these orders are flying through this thing that's dispensing paper, and it fills up and Carmen and the staff go into mode, like, like like, how do we we have to keep up with all

 

00:57:26:24 – 00:57:44:21

Christopher

these orders, like, like all these things are coming in and it's like, you know, Sydney, where you behind this? And she's like, you know, she's not really copping to it at this point or whatever. And so they're screaming at one another because they're trying to keep up with all these orders. I mean, think of, Mickey Mouse in Fantasia and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

 

00:57:44:21 – 00:58:06:04

Christopher

You know what begins with bringing one broom to life? To carry a bucket of water has now turned into hundreds. Okay, they're flooded with all of these orders. And this is very Jupiter, okay? Jupiter is bigger than the sun. You know, Carmen had worked out that it was a sandwich restaurant. Sydney, you know, wanted something better. But you didn't do this on purpose, and she didn't know it was a food critic.

 

00:58:06:04 – 00:58:25:05

Christopher

All these orders are coming in. And now, because it's sandwich shop, thinking the racing to keep up with all these orders. And it's not happening. What happens ultimately is that the wheels fall off the car and it's a wipe out. You know, it's a wipe out. All the staff is screaming and yelling at one another or whatever. And so you think, okay, that's the end of it.

 

00:58:25:05 – 00:58:53:08

Christopher

And this is what happens with people who become successes very quickly. You know, they grow very fast. It's Jupiter, they grow very fast. They become a success very fast, and they can't sustain it because there isn't. And and the situation of the show, there is a business model or format in place that can sustain it. And so they were drawing on old thinking, short order cook thinking, you know, trying to keep up with something that they couldn't possibly keep up.

 

00:58:53:12 – 00:59:10:12

Christopher

It's snowballed. It's got bigger than them and it's wiped them out. And that could be the end. I mean, it looks like it's going to be the end of the series. It's going to be the end of the show. What happens? And this is something that I wanted to share with you about The square to the Sun in Virgo.

 

00:59:10:14 – 00:59:38:12

Christopher

What happens is that Sydney and Carmen, in conversation, come to the realization that they don't want to run a sandwich shop. He doesn't really want to run it. And she's like, you know, listen, man, you know, like you don't you're you're better than that. And so he's like, well, what do we do? And they're like, well, we actually have to sort of like close the shop and make it close the sandwich shop or the Santan, the fast food place, and make it the restaurant that we really want it to be.

 

00:59:38:14 – 01:00:05:23

Christopher

And that gets into things like getting the funding and all this stuff. We don't need to know about that. Now, the important point that I wanted to make with you is there is a decision to stop what's doing, what they're doing, you know, to deconstruct the old model and then to build from the ground up what will become the new restaurant.

 

01:00:06:00 – 01:00:27:08

Christopher

You know, the restaurant. That's more according to Carmen's talents, more according to Sydney's vision of what it should be. And that's the Virgo part. You know, maybe you already heard it. The Jupiter and Gemini part is, you know, where success, where we have to run to keep up with it and and the Virgo part is my legs aren't that long.

 

01:00:27:08 – 01:00:50:23

Christopher

I don't have that. I don't know how to factor 150 orders coming in over a half an hour. This is too big for me. And so you wipe out. Okay. And so that might have been something that had happened to you recently or something that you experienced recently, you know, and you might now be in a place of like, what do I do with my wiped out, you know, or let's say, what do I do now?

 

01:00:50:23 – 01:01:22:03

Christopher

This wiped out this this got bigger than me. You know, I couldn't keep up what I love about this show is like, they stop the ball in motion and they do something that's even more dramatically different. They recreate the restaurant. In other words, the fact that the sandwich shop couldn't keep up becomes an opportunity to stop what they're doing, to take off 6 to 8 months, to reconceive the restaurant and to bring it back as the restaurant that they really want to be running.

 

01:01:22:05 – 01:01:44:04

Christopher

And that is an idea that I would like to share with you about an interpretation of what might be going on with you with this Jupiter sun square. This might be the period of time where you have to stop the momentum of the success, stop something that's gotten bigger than you. in order to make it what you want it to be.

 

01:01:44:06 – 01:02:08:07

Christopher

You know, other people might be like, oh, you wiped out or or you're, you know, if you stop success. Success is fickle. You'll never experience it again. But that Virgo energy knows you can stop it, okay? Because it knows. Ultimately, if I can't keep up with this, then the job is running me. The deadlines are running me. You know the likes are running me.

 

01:02:08:07 – 01:02:33:03

Christopher

The algorithms are running me. Okay, let's let's get all like, algorithm without, you know, and I need to stop it. And I need to center it and recreate the format. Like like Carmen and Sydney, recreate the restaurant, recreate the format so that it becomes. And this is the big Virgo word here. Sustainable. Okay. Recreate the format so that it becomes sustainable.

 

01:02:33:07 – 01:03:04:21

Christopher

It's not cutting costs, cutting back diminishing to make smaller. Now it's bringing it back down to the ground Earth, grounding it, reworking it so that it becomes sustainable so that what you could receive as a result of this square is something that is better refashioned. in a way that's better serving of who you are. Maybe it's been refashioned in your image, but Virgos are more they discover.

 

01:03:04:21 – 01:03:40:09

Christopher

You know how I talked about Gemini discovering through playing around with opportunities and possibilities and and variables? Virgo is discovering itself through refashioning, through reworking, through revising. Okay. So that the message that we get here is, three ideas. Okay. But we went with the three differences I'm going to present share with you three ideas. The first one is, you know, and I'm kind of doing a composite here of Jupiter in the sun, you know, or what we can learn from the Jupiter and sun square.

 

01:03:40:11 – 01:04:02:17

Christopher

Don't color inside the lines. Okay? This is not the time to color inside the lines or to go back to what was safe or secure. You can't go back again. It's a departing square. You have to move forward. So don't color inside the lines. Think outside the lines. the other idea what is what I want to share with you is rules were meant to be bent.

 

01:04:02:19 – 01:04:36:09

Christopher

We're all familiar with the phrase rules were meant to be broken, you know? But, in Mercury's perspective of things, Gemini and Virgo's perspective of things. Rules were meant to be bent, okay, to be worked with and to be bent so that you could do something more effectively and you could be something, do something better. Mercury ruled charts always believed that, it's fine to do the rules within within reason, but at a certain point you go beyond the rules, and the rules, have got to catch up, and you don't have the time for the rules to catch up.

 

01:04:36:09 – 01:04:53:11

Christopher

So you bend them. You work them in such a way so that you could achieve your goals or get done the things that you want to get done or create in the way that you create. So rules were meant to be bent. And then the final one, the final one is you don't always have to go back to the drawing board.

 

01:04:53:13 – 01:05:13:18

Christopher

Okay. Jupiter, Jupiter likes to do things in motion. Things are in motion with Jupiter. And that's. And two Mercury ruled signs. So these are two signs, Gemini and Virgos that think on their feet. Virgo doesn't get enough credit for thinking on its feet. Everyone's kind of like I'm Virgos. I know Virgos are Mercury ruled sign and very much thinks on its on its feet.

 

01:05:13:20 – 01:05:37:23

Christopher

So things are in motion so you don't have to go back to the drawing board to start over again. Chances are you can make a simple adjustment to make a situation work for yourself. Or. Or you might have had a great idea, but the way you presented it was wrong. So go and repackage your idea. Rework, maybe tweak or fine tune some things.

 

01:05:38:02 – 01:06:02:17

Christopher

Come back again, and this time as a result of the square, this time as the result of Mercury being out of retrograde. It recently came out of retrograde this time. This time, that idea that didn't take this time, it may very well take. And you might find a buyer or a supporter or someone who's very interested in your voice and what you're doing and wants to see you go the distance.
