Libra season is a really hard and uncomfortable time for me. I like your calming presence for it, even when things are tough.

… as someone with split “loyalties” and loved ones on both sides for this terrible tragedy i want to thank you for speaking to this issue … we need to be the safe space for traumatised people on both sides to be able to see a way forward and excommunicate the despicable individuals instigating, executing propagating terror on human beings …

[Coach_Tanisha_Ahava]

Thank you for connecting the social patterns and happenings to the astrology. politics is related to governing, and in order to keep power those in authority make social issues political so that people fight each other and look to authority for solutions instead of seeing that the needs are not served by those that can solve them.
Community can find solutions, and they'll work if authority and laws don't stop us.
Thanks again. Humanity is better than this. so much unnecessary suffering and hate. Thank you for doing your part. ❤

I saw a TikTok where a girl was talking about next year being the weirdest year possibly of the century. She mentions July 2025.. could you do a video on this?

I would like to hear from someone who frames astrology with hope instead of fear.

[saivitewilson]

Yahhh, October is moms birthday, parents anniversary. Still grieving their passing from March and April 2023.

[kellybrignell]

Chani, perhaps you could also address the genocide in Sudan...ongoing for longer than Gaza or Ukraine?

"If planets are conjunct the South Node, their significations are subject to DECREASE in accordance with their benefic or malefic natures" (Demetra George). This solar eclipse, benefic planets conjunct with South Node.

At the beginning of the libra eclipse season last year, my daughter was studying at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon. She had to get evacuated.
She went back to finish her semester in January .
And then she went back again for the summer to be with her friends in Beirut.
Now she is studying in Rome, Italy.
And the aggression is literally heating up in Lebanon .
I hope something gives, and this “war season” comes to an end. The “war season” actually began with Ukraine, and under the current administration.
Her father (my ex) works for the military industrial complex and they are already “setting up shop” for the next proxy war, which is designated to Taiwan /China.
The whole situation has touched our lives personally, and it has been exhausting to my nervous system to say the least.
I have recently moved out of the United States back to my original country in the Mediterranean.
I’m not going be voting in the US this year.
But if I was, I would definitely not want the continuation of what we’ve had over the last four years - if you can read through the lines and catch my drift.
That’s all I have to say about all of that for whatever it’s worth. 🤷‍♀️

[nathaniallim]

Is it possible to see the October 2nd eclipse in LA?

[Cattube]

Omg I LOVE ur outfit 🤩😍
The subtitles are kinda distracting me from listening though. I have to keep clicking backwards.
Anyway, awesome reading & looking forward to the next one already!!! 🤗

[goblinwizard]

[taylorbrooke]

Anybody know what nationality she is? I just think she’s so beautiful.

I think you need to shave, and if you don't want to, then wear something with longer sleeves. Be proud to be female and not take on male habits (even male cover up). I really don't understand the showing armpit hair trend.
