[5:20] Greetings from Listener Lori! [5:46] Today (4:12 AM PDT), the Sun trines Jupiter at 15º33’ Virgo and Taurus. Simple tasks and being our natural selves are the road to satisfaction and reward! [7:48] Moon Report! The Moon is in its sign of rulership, Cancer and trines Saturn (3:43 AM PDT) at 2°55’ Cancer-Pisces.  Emotions could get choppy this afternoon (1:33 PM PDT) when the Moon squares Mars at 7°56’ Cancer-Libra. [9:25] The Cancer Moon will be Void-of-Course (VOC) for almost four hours on Sunday, September 10th, between its opposition to Pluto (5:47 AM PDT) and when it enters Leo (9:36 AM PDT). Unresolved feelings and hurts, and even regrets might rise to the surface. [10:11] Greetings from Listener Teresa! [10:35] Days of the Week: Friday (love), Saturday (work), and Sunday (rest). [10:55] Friday is Venus' Day. Friday is named for Freya, the Norse goddess of love, beauty, fertility, and sex. Traditional homemakers made Friday the day that they cleaned their homes, but it's a fine day for romance, too! [12:30] Saturday is Saturn's day. Any kind of hard physical labor is compatible with Saturn's energy. The traditional homemaker baked on Saturday so that fresh bread would be available for Sunday, the Sabbath. [13:41] Sunday is the Sun's Day. This was the traditional day of rest, set aside for relaxation, recreation, and worship, all ruled by the Sun. [14:52] And that's a wrap for the The Fourth Annual Podcast! Thanks for listening in all week long! Make your donation at BIGSKYASTROPOD.COM.
