January 2025 + Capricorn Deep Dive | Myths of Structure

Today Cory and shea in the catskills explore the embodied experience of Capricorn, and delve into the less-talked about expressions of that zodiac sign. Especially as Saturn (planetary ruler of Capricorn) spends its last months in Pisces and comes into a landscape-shifting square with Jupiter on Christmas Eve, they consider the mystical nature of the “threshold dwellers,” of which Saturn is the ultimate. It’s said to have its joy in the 12 th house of the excommunicated, the sequestered and the sublime. In the last third of the episode Cory takes a through a brief forecast of January, and the big transits of 2025.

Topics include:

The experience of the sun, moon, and Mercury in Capricorn and its relationship to Cancer

Redefining goals, accomplishment, success, and security

Elders and Crones

The gross, vulgar and unpredictable nature of reality vs. the manicured, organized, and codified

How capitalism changed our relationship and understanding of Capricorn

Top-down structures vs. collaboratively-built structures

Capricorn as mystical, feminine chaos and the sublimation of that power

Capricorn as symbolized by Pan, god of the wild and the Devil card in tarot

The suit of pentacles in tarot and other images that correspond with Capricorn

New offerings for 2025

A tarot pull for the winter solstice

and Death

It’s been a long time since I’ve done an “OTC” episode! These episodes are less structured and more illustrative. I invited Anastasia Wasco, writer, editor, and psychospiritual guide to talk about her experience of the Gemini-Sagittarius axis. Not only does she have a Sagittarius stellium (including Mercury in Sadge), but she’s also a Gemini rising. She’s pretty much the embodiment of the current situation along that Gemini-Sagittarius axis this month: Mercury rx Sadge opposite Jupiter rx Gemini (mutual reception in detriment).

I kind of just let her run free with her narrative, as I thought it was such an experiential representation of how Mercury moves through Sagittarius, especially when it’s retrograde: it jumps timelines, it explores, it detours, and extrapolates. It doesn’t give what’s expected or asked for, and yet...it does. It does it in its own oblique, philosophical way. Instead of simply answering, it expands.

Topics discussed in this episode:

Monomyth vs. other story structures

Neurodivergence and animism

Jupiter rx aspects in December: Jupiter opposite Mercury 12/4 & 12/26, sun opposite Jupiter

12-7, Venus trine Jupiter 12/19, Jupiter square Saturn 12-24 (second hit).

The 12/7 triple conjunction of Pluto, Venus, and Ceres at 0 degrees Aquarius and the

Persephone myth

Bottlenecks of information

“The forest for the trees”

Data without meaning, beliefs without facts

Confirmation bias and propaganda

Projecting our own stories on empty, broken, or incomplete narratives

Coherence and picking things apart

Critical thinking vs. indoctrination
