Join Amanda -- and Amanda! -- for a flowing, hypnotic deep dive into all things Cancer. This episode features special guest Amanda Painter and continues a series focused on relational approaches to learning the signs of the zodiac. We start with traditional correspondences and give examples of planets in Cancer in action (Mars and Saturn, anyone?) by way of Amanda P's personal experiences and then deepen into considerations of oracular and oceanic consciousness, overwhelm, the Moon and its earthy nature, structure and goo, and a shared "huh!?" about how Cancer displays itself as a season. But I think we figure it out in the end!
As always, the episode ends with some divination, this time by Oracle card, to give you some tips for sustainable self care this Cancer season.
About Our Special Guest: Amanda Painter is an astrologer, soul worker, writer, editor, and actor with degrees in literature and theater.
