There’s lots of places where you can go ahead and order from your independent local bookstore. I trust her, even though I don’t work with that particular aspect, so I haven’t read that particular book.Īnd if you’re going to buy an astrology book, which I strongly encourage you to do, shop small, shop local. But there this an astrologer who’s my absolute favorite astrologer, her name is Karen Hamaker Zondag, and she has a book, I believe it is aptly called The Yod, so you can go ahead and buy that and study yods. And you guys send me-literally, all the live long day I get questions about yods. So you can have, let’s say, Uranus sextile to Mercury, and both Uranus and Mercury independently form a quincunx to the Sun, that would be a finger of God or a yod. And then those planets who are sextile to each other need to both independently form a quincunx, which is a 150-degree angle to yet a third planet, okay. So, basically, in order to have a yod in your birth chart, you need to have two or more planets involved in a sextile. I don’t work with yods because I don’t work with quincunxes. So let me tell you why I don’t work with the yod. And I think that when people see that they have the yod in their birth chart or the finger of God in their birth chart, they kind of freak out, and they’re like, “OMG, what does it mean? What does it mean?” Because doesn’t everyone kind of want to get fingered by God? Or if you don’t really want to get fingered by God, it’s like, well, is that just something I’m stuck with? Nobody knows. Yods are also referred to as the finger of God or finger or fate. So I want to talk to you first and foremost about this particular aspect configuration that you guys send me tons of questions about, but I don’t work with, and that is called a yod. If you’ve ever seen an astrological wheel from a Western astrology chart, you can see that there’s a bunch of lines forming shapes on the inside of that chart. And they form these really interesting shapes on the inside of our chart. Now, aspect configurations are the particular way that simple aspects, like the conjunction or the square or the trine, you have multiple planets kind of like being aspects on aspects. Now, there is something in astrology called aspect configurations. So all of this to say, our charts are unique to us and also our charts unify us-they kind of reflect how we are all so much the same. And the question-the better question for you to be asking me is what can I do with this? What is it that I could do to leverage the best of myself and the best of my ability? Because that’s really what it’s about. That just describes this life you’ve come into and the set of circumstances that are your set of circumstances. And when you send me questions asking me like, “Well, why do I have this aspect in my chart?” or “Why is everything on one side of my chart?” on kind of a human level, the answer is because that’s who are you. So I want to just acknowledge that there’s something really gorgeous about astrology in that it both highlights how we are unique and how we are the same. That’s very common of Pluto issues and sometimes Neptune issues. Even though for everyone who has Pluto in their chart, which is everyone, but those of us who have Pluto that is harshly aspected, we feel like we’re the only ones who feel a particular way, and we feel like we’re the only ones who’ve had a particular life experience. And the feeling of-basically, every fucking feeling you have is shared by millions and billions of people. To me, that’s actually really cool because we have our individuality, but also the feeling of loneliness that you have is shared by millions and billions of people. But it is to say that we are not as different as we often think we are-we’re really not. That’s it.Īnd I don’t say this to minimize your specialness because I know I am damn special and so are you. So there’s only so many variations of the human birth chart. I work with a fixed amount of aspects and aspect configurations. I can’t believe that’s real.” Because, really, we are working with 12 zodiac signs. You can’t recover from that,” or like, “Oh, wow. I have never seen a chart that I was like, “OMG, that’s fucked up. So as an astrologer, because I’ve been looking at charts for so many years, I have actually never seen a chart that shocked me. I get a lot of questions from a lot of you asking me why your birth chart looks a particular way, so I actually want to start with individuality and the birth chart. So this week let me tell you a little something about your birth chart. Welcome back to Ghost of a Podcast, the podcast where I tell you I love you over and over again, and I fucking mean it.
