S5 Ep. 9: The Astrology of 2022 with Shannon and Russ

Beyond the Illusion

Buckle up - there’s so much happening in the Cosmos this year! So we’ve brought back our favorite astrologers, Shannon Gill and Russ Von Ohlhausen to help prepare us for the energies of 2022. As usual, they don’t disappoint! As you hear about all of the intensity this year, remember that you are an empowered divine spiritual being who chose to incarnate in this life to be a part of this momentous time on planet Earth. Here’s what we discuss: * The theme for 2022: “There’s a storm coming. Get prepared.” * We need to accept that The Shift naturally involves a process of death and rebirth in order for us to evolve. * We’re moving out of the Pisces Age of Illusion (listen to Shannon’s in-depth explanation of the Astrological Ages here). There’s acceleration this year of “The Blinders Coming Off.” * In 2022, the Best and the Worst will be happening at the same time. Changes need to happen. It’s up to us where we focus. * Advice for this year: “Simplify, conserve and consolidate.” Less is more. * We need to stop thinking this is going to go away anytime soon. Instead learn to ride the waves as things accelerate. * Illusion will be thick this year, requiring us to master our discernment. * The nodal shift into Taurus/Scorpio creates a new backdrop for this year. * We can manage the Scorpio South Node themes of destabilization/chaos and revealing more of the shadow by engaging in Taurus North Node energies of being in our body, creativity, art, music, dance, simplifying. * Possible food supply chain issues, loss of resources. * Window of opportunity when all planets are direct: February 3 - April 29 * February US Pluto Return: We’re going to go through a massive Revolutionary energy. * Mars is hitting the outer planets during Spring and Summer bringing fiery energy, eruptions. * Why does Shannon consider the Jupiter Neptune conjunction to perhaps be the most significant aspect of the whole year? * Beware the shadow aspect of Pisces and Neptune: escapism, addiction, spiritual bypassing, overdose. * Possibly more natural disasters, particularly with the water element. * Stay focused in the many positive ways you can experience simple joys. Utilize these opportunities to awaken and level up this year.
