Gateways to Awakening Podcast

In this episode of "The Rachel Lang Show," Rachel delves into the complex and intriguing world of astrology, shedding light on how celestial movements profoundly impact our lives. The primary focus lies on Neptune, a planet known for its significant influence on artistry, cultural evolution, and our collective consciousness. Neptune's current transit through Pisces towards Aries symbolically translates to an era of massive transformation and uncertainty. Despite this nebulous period, Rachel highlights the extraordinary opportunities that lie within, ones that encourage us to delve deeper into our spiritual explorations and imaginative visions.
In the second segment of the show, listeners will discover the essence of navigating Neptune transits, compared interestingly to driving through fog. This metaphor prompts us to trust the process and take life one step at a time, rather than striving for unwavering clarity. Though these transits may induce feelings of disorientation, they also provide fruitful grounds for introspection and personal transformation.

“The thing about Jupiter is we can't judge it –This is good. This is bad. This is right. This is wrong.

“That the emotions that we feel when we are going through a major loss or when we have been hurt in some ways, bring our ego down to its baseline.  And it gives our whole entire nervous system this reboot.” - Rachel

Notable Quotes

[16:19] "Don't be mad at Saturn. He's trying to teach you boundaries. He's trying to show you limits. He's trying to teach you that you can do more with less, and that you probably have a lot of extra that you could do without.."-Bonnie

[26:04] "Venus says I'm enough because I'm enough. It's not because I do anything for the world."-Bonnie

[47:38] "Venus doesn't give homework that is 'I'm going to then come back and check and you're either going to pass or fail.' That's not her department. She's not going to give you a list; that's not Venus's style. And she's also not going to give you a deadline. The logline I have for Venus and time is 'Never late, always worth the wait.'" - Bonnie

Notable Quotes:

“I look at where Saturn is, and Saturn is moving through Pisces. It's moving in his 7th house, if you're looking at quadrant houses. I don't mean to get too technical, but it's in the house of his open enemies and legal issues. And so Saturn is the planet that relates to some of the bigger challenges, the hard work, the limiting forces in our lives. And he has some challenging Saturn placements this year and next year.” - Rachel

“I think it might be interesting as far as if we want to look at what we think might be the, or the result of this election may be looking at Stormy's chart because, I mean, so far, she's had a quiet role so far, but because she hasn't testified yet, but she's a star and going to be a star of the show coming up.” - Tisha
