Hi, I'm Rusty Komori, and this is Beyond the Lines on Think Tech, Hawaii. I was the head coach of the Punahou Boys varsity tennis team for 22 years, and we're fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championships. My book Beyond the Lines is about leadership, creating a superior culture of excellence, and finding greatness, which is what this show is all about. My special guest today has proven himself to be one of the best, if not the best, college volleyball coach in the United States. He is our University of Hawaii men's volleyball coach, Charlie Wade, and today we are going beyond volleyball. Hey, Coach Charlie, welcome to the show. Glad to be here, thanks for having me. Now Coach Charlie, I want to ask you, when did you first start getting interested in playing volleyball? Okay, so I'm living in a small town in northern Indiana, and while we were the county seat, the biggest town around, it was still only 10,000 people. It's a small, rural community, and I saw on, you know, one of those kind of CBS Wildwoods sports, something on the weekend. In those days, we only had three channels, so let me get very many. And I saw this thing from Beach Volleyball at King Harbor in Redondo Beach, California. And I was born in Redondo Beach, California, but we moved when I was just an infant. So I didn't, that was the first time I'd seen it, and like, wow, that's where I'm from. That's, you know, so that really got me interested, and then fast forward about a year, probably two years later, I graduated from high school and got in a car with a buddy and drove from Indiana out to Southern California, looking to play some volleyball. Wow. So what is it about volleyball that you love so much? Uh, yeah, I mean, it's kind of everything, you know, I mean, it was just like, I played golf and I played basketball, and you know, volleyball was just a really unique thing where it wasn't just about who could run the fastest and jump the highest, there's a high degree of skill, and pretty complex when we start to understand, you know, just the strategy and stuff and what it takes to play at a high level. Now what is it about coaching volleyball that you love so much as well now? I would say, you know, it's just the quest and the gratification to, you know, improving people's lives and bringing joy to people and, you know, it's kind of ongoing, obviously, forever and just the journey that comes with helping people try to be the best. Well, Coach Charlie, I mean, you are, I honestly believe you're the best college volleyball coach in the country, and last year our UH men's tennis team, volleyball team made it to the championship final, and then this year for most of the season, you guys were ranked number one. Now, in order to do that, you have to have a superior culture of excellence. What is your team's culture like? Yeah, and we've been on a pretty good run now, you know, going back to 2015 or so. We have spent a lot of time defining and reinforcing the things that are important to us and what we've defined, and it comes out of kind of a mantra of figure out what's important, focus on what you can control. If you've ever noticed on the back of the guys' warm-up shirts and in our practice shirts, there's the word alakai, which is Hawaiian word for leader, and that's also an acronym for us.  I love hearing those insights, and Coach Charlie, you know, you're big on character, and your team has, your individual players have great character, your team has great character collectively. Tell me about your four seniors that are, you know, that you had on this year's team. How special are they? Yeah, just a great group of young men, you know, three of them were fifth year guys, you know, I've always said, you know, everyone's better in their fifth year than their fourth year, you're just older, smarter, and more mature, you know, these guys have won at an unprecedented rate, you know, and they've been among the best players in the world at their position for quite some time, they've all represented their home countries at one time or another in international competition, and, you know, just like I said, they're really good volleyball players, you can play at a high level, but they've also helped us sustain a culture where we also have the highest grade point average of any team on the West Coast and really just committed to winning and committing to representing Hawaii.  Now, Coach Charlie, I want to ask you, how do you get your team to buy in to your philosophy, to your team's goals? Yeah, that's, I mean, that's the part that takes time, yeah, I mean, the first part there is about, you know, having a message, having something that defines you, and then the buy-in is everything, you know, I've seen lots of coaches, and I say this, you know, most coaches, you've been doing it for a while, you know enough about the ball, you know enough about going out to the practice court, you know, field, wherever you are, and get the balls, again, the players, and you can reach a level of efficiency and production that allow you to keep your job forever, but it's the, it's the part about having the message, and then the buy-in, the buy-in is the tricky part, and that is, I think for us, you know, being part of something that's bigger than just yourself, or even bigger than the team, you know, representing the state of why, I think the part about for us having that piece that has a wine language, and has a wine culture, and for me, it's very important that we perpetuate those things, and that they're a part of who we are, and what we stand for, you know, and it, I had read a book over the summer, and I had the team read the book going into it, and it really, it really reinforced a lot of what we've been working on for years, and it's the book Legacy by Kerr, you know, it's about the all blacks, and it said very profoundly, I thought that when your message is about something that makes you a better person, makes you better teammate, makes you better player, makes you better member of community, father, husband, whatever it is, that the buy-in is much deeper, it really is. So for us, you know, getting the buy-in has been an ongoing quest, you know, and we've, like I said, we've been pretty fortunate to have on this run where guys are really bought in, you know, and they're doing their best in everything that we've identified for them, but having the culture be defined by things that make you a better person, I think, is really important. Now, Coach Charlie, I mean, you have players from around the world, and you know how you're talking about the Hawaiian culture, and that's a big part of it. Tell me more about those little details about how you're incorporating the Hawaiian culture into your team. Yeah, I mean, I saw it, like I said, from using the symbolism of the things that we've identified.  The skill part is an ulu maika, you know, and so each one of these things, we give to the players if they're, you know, if they've achieved in that category. And then for me, like that ulu maika or the poi pounder or, you know, the statue of Koo or whatever it is, that's going to sit on a guy's desk. It's going to sit on the shelf in his house. And for years, for the rest of his life, people are going to look at it and you ask him, like, what is that? What does it mean? And then he's going to have to define that. He's going to have to explain that. And this, it will only help perpetuate not only the mindset and the ideals, the values that we hold, you know, to be most important. It also helps, like I said, perpetuate Hawaiian language and Hawaiian culture worldwide. You know, I see the guy sitting in Bulgaria with, you know, an ulu maika sitting on his, somebody's going to ask him and he's, he's going to have to explain that. So for me, there's, there's lots of peripheral benefits, aside from this being our, our chosen path, path of endeavor. I love hearing that, Coach Charlie. And for many years, you coached with Dave Shoji for the Wahine volleyball. And what have, what have you found to be some of the differences in coaching men versus women? There's certainly overall, I mean, the game's kind of the same. There's more similarities than differences. You know, the most practical difference between the collegiate level is the women get 12 full scholarships and the men get 4.5 significant difference, you know, and I, I look now back at man, how much talent could you put together with 12 full scholarships? But four and a half is our reality. And that's what we deal with. They're different animals, you know, the men want to keep score, they want to compete over everything. You know, you have to be more direct. If, if you say like, look, we're working on service seed, and we say, hey, look, you know, we have to be better at service seed. If you say that to a group of men, they typically there's guys going to be like, well, he's talking about that guy or somebody else. And if you say to a group of women, they take it more personally, like, oh, he's talking about me, I have to be better at service, even with the men, you have to be more direct to say, look, you have to be better at service seed. Jimmy, that's you have to be better at it. You can't just throw out these blanket statements. And I'd say the other part too, women will buy in quicker, you know, once you've defined what you're about, and here's what we're, we're going to work on, they'll buy in and they'll try things that may not show immediate results quicker than the men will. I had one person explained to me once or read it somewhere that men start wars. Sometimes they start them over women, but they're generally the history of the world, men start war. So it takes a little longer to get them to buy in. And that just to me is more, it just reinforces more why you have to have a message and why that message has to be very clear. So, you know, through these years, how, how to have you, how has your coaching style evolved through all of these years?  I think it's one of the things that I did kind of get from Shoji and being around him. That you can't solve everything right now, you know, as a young man and as a young coach, you know, we try to solve everything. And soon as it comes up, if there's a conflict or something, you know, we try to rush out and fix it right now where sometimes you can just let it play out. And then there's the part two, just what we do in the practice gym, you know, we've kind of evolved. Because I think if you're still doing the same stuff in the practice gym that you were doing five years ago, let alone 25, you probably haven't gotten much better, you know, we spent a lot more time with what I'd call like hand on ball where guys are snapping and spinning balls that, you know, at different lengths and different distances and different speeds, just to help get that kind of calibrated where they can, they can control the ball better. Oh, yeah, that's great. I love hearing those insights from you. Coach Charlie, we're going to take a quick break. And then when we come back, we're going to continue going beyond volleyball. All right. No problem. You are watching Beyond the Lines on Think Tech Hawaii with my special guest, Coach Charlie Wade. We will be back in a quick minute. Aloha. I'm Grace Lodik, the host of educating ourselves in these difficult times on Think Tech Hawaii. Our show deals with media and education and a stream live on Think Tech biweekly at 12 noon on Thursdays. Thank you for watching our show. We look forward to seeing you then. Aloha. Welcome back to Beyond the Lines on Think Tech Hawaii. My special guest today is one of the top, if not the top college volleyball coach in the United States is Coach Charlie Wade. And today we are going beyond volleyball. Coach Charlie, you know, I know a lot of young volleyball coaches that really admire you and what you've done as a coach. Who is a coach that you admire? The first name that comes to mind for me is a gentleman by the name of Larry Long. You're probably going, what do I know Larry Long? You don't. Larry Long was a little league coach that I had. It's got to be now 45 years ago or something. I just thought, you know, and he was such a great man and a great father and a great husband. And I just really admired him. And you know, as I as I started getting to coaching, I know that I've I've thought about him a lot. And then coaches that you've probably heard more, I think I kind of lean towards guys that are empowering to the players, you know, that while I'll have, you know, strict discipline and, you know, and hold people accountable, but but allow for some flexibility and allow for, you know, just people to evolve. And I go with Joe Madden, who I know worked a lot, even though I've never met Joe Madden. He worked a lot by a guy that I spent time studying with Ken Revisah, the sports psychologist who passed recently. And I think the other one would be a guy like Doc Rivers. And he is, I've been able to watch his career, obviously, and he's one at the highest level. And I'd had an opportunity to meet him a couple of different times throughout. So I like that. And Coach Charlie, you know what I find amazing is, you know, the there's so much excitement that your teams bring into the Stan Sheriff Center.  Yeah, it's just amazing. You know, like I said, I got here in 95 and right when the Stan Sheriff Center opened, and it was such a new thing. And both the men and the women were averaging, you know, 8000 and it was, you know, just amazing experience to be a part of. And then over time, you know, that everybody has kind of dropped back and got kind of routine. And so when I took the job in 2009, you know, that certainly was the goal to get it back to that level. And I know a lot of people thought it wasn't possible. But it's happened here. We guard, you know, fast forward 10, 11 years, and we're selling out the Stan Sheriff Center. And it's, it's just so humbling to be a part of something that so many of the people in the community, you know, rally behind it and see how important it is to them. And, you know, I'm proud to be able to do something that brings the community together and gives the community something that they can have joy in and be proud of. Oh, that's for sure. You're doing that, definitely. Coach Charlie, in my books, I talk about, you know, welcoming adversity and really focusing on mindset and attitude. And you do the same. How do you get your teams in the right mindset to look forward to challenges? Well, I think it comes a lot from just like it said, just the mantra of, of who we are and what defines us, you know, I think that's so key. Like I mentioned that having something that defines you on a daily basis, that the players can focus on, on a daily basis, you know, and this is kind of evolved, you know, back before I had kids and I used to read a lot more, I still find time, I was, I was pretty obsessed with reading, you know, the most successful people, whether they were in business or in sport. So then as you read, whether it was wooden or Shoshesky or, you know, guys in the business world, it was the kind of the common themes for me were figure out what's important, figure out what's what you can control, you know. And I remember having a conversation with Lily Kahumoku when she was playing, you know, we had a great run where, you know, we went to the final four or three out of four years and she's asking me, well, why are we going to win?  And she's like, I would imagine the same is happening in Nebraska and Florida and Stanford. And so what is it that defines us? And that really started me on that journey of kind of, you know, coming up with something, something that they can hang their hat on every day. So the time your feet hit the bed in the morning to the time you go to bed at night, if we, if you stay focused on what is now for us, and this is the third version of this, it's one of those things that when you're a long time assistant, you're like, well, I'm the head coach, I'm going to do this. So when I was at Pacific, it was, we called it AFPAC and it was, you know, kind of on the Pacific wordmark and we defined it, but it's really the categories have all stayed the same. And when I came back in 2009 and 2010, it was VazTech that was actually on the back of the shirts for a while. And then with the work of Judge Thomas Colakapui has kind of helped me over the last several years rebrand it to have this input of Hawaiian language, Hawaiian culture. So for me, it's like that, that's kind of what defines this. And I think you'd ask the guy that the guys, you would get some version of that answer. No, you're right. And you mentioned about controlling everything that you have control about. And I talk about that in my books as well, because there's a huge difference between necessary stress and unnecessary stress. And all of us, we can control so many things that are within our control. And we don't have to worry about things that's beyond our control. For you, I want to know about your coaching system, because a lot of the great coaches have their system. But oftentimes, you know, depending on the players that you have that year or the talent that you have, you might adapt your system to the talent or players that you have. Do you do the same? For sure. And I, there are a lot of coaches that like to talk about their system. And they'll be like, Well, in my system, if we do this, and this player does this, and I'm like, look, you want to know my system is, and this goes to the part two, like, that means you're just hanging on to something you've been doing forever.  Look, my system is, let's figure out what you're good at. Let's see if we can put it in the game and you can help us get 25 before they do. Straight up. And that may change night tonight. It may change set to set. It may certainly changes year to year based on the talent you have. But the central theme is, let's figure out what you're good at. Let's keep working on individual technique. Let's keep working on your mindset. Let's keep working on your discipline, your commitment, and find a way that we can get you on the floor and help us get 25 before they do. I totally agree with you. It's all about it's all about building on to the strengths, making their strengths even stronger. Coach Charlie, what is your team's identity? You know, a lot of the great athletes are great teams. They have an identity about them. What do you feel your team's identity is? Yeah, that's one, two that I think is probably better answered by players. And I would think that you would get some version of a la CUTE. And that is, you know, our identity is that we're trying to be the best at everything. We're trying to look like professionals, trying to act like professionals. We're trying to, you know, do our best in the classroom, in the practice gym, in the weight room.  And I think that's if you ask guys that are in the program, that question gets some version of that. Yeah, that's great. And Coach Charlie, what do you feel is the best advice you ever received in your life? I'll say this. Chris McLaughlin, yeah, and a mentor and a coach. And, you know, he said, and it fits in with what we're doing. I remember having a conversation one time and he talked about how important he thought it was to have regular meetings with the players, you know, and this is from a professional standpoint. So, but it does speak to just overall, like, you know, how important communicating is, you know, we're always making observations and important to share those observations and building relationships.  So we had a regular basis, have individual meetings with every single guy, we're still doing them through this and they're just on the phone or through Zoom. But just having, taking the time, because you're building a relationship, you're not just communicating and talking about, we may talk about school, we may talk about volleyball, we may talk about anything. But it's taking the time and building those relationships and taking the time to communicate what you think and what you feel about things that we both feel are important. I just think that's been really helpful. Yeah, it's about consistency and really caring about what their goals are, what's important to them. And that's how they get the buy in, where they trust and respect you even more because they know you care about them more than just volleyball players. And Coach Charlie, what is a valuable lesson you learned in life so far? Well, aside from that one, and then the other, just the part two that I've said that kind of defines about, you know, figure out what's important, focus on what you control. We see this all the time where people in various levels of success and well into their life, you know, they get obsessed over things that either aren't important or out of their control. And, you know, so I think that's while it's very simple, you know, I think it's one of those everybody would agree with, but did you really learn it? And then I think the other part just, you know, how important it is to be calm and to be confident in adversity, because there's going to be tough times, you know, and when it's most stressful, I think it's important to, as a leader, to show the people around you that you're in control and you know what you're doing. And on the flip side of it, to have the willingness to show emotion when you feel it's necessary. And whether that's, you know, vulnerable emotion and something that you feel passionate about or animated emotion, when it's something you feel passionate about that, you know, when that opportunity presents itself, that you're willing to to put yourself out there. Yeah. Oh, Charlie, I want to ask you one more thing before we wrap. What gives you fulfillment? Besides spending time with my wife and kids, you know, which we've, this is, I think it's been a blessing in this, what we're in, all kind of being sequestered here. And walking my dogs. That's, enjoy them. And I'm not to say just the never ending quest for just that elusive national championship. And really it's more than just a trophy, but the journey to get there and helping people become better fathers, better husbands, you know, better members of our community, helping them to get on a path that's going to allow them to be successful for life. Oh, Charlie, I want to thank you for your insights and taking time to be on the show today.  And thank you for joining me today. That's very kind of you, Rusty. I appreciate it. Aloha.

Wow, what's up money geeks Mr V here welcome to another video guys so into this video we are going to talk about top five penny stocks for the week so I want you guys to kind of get into some of this place and see if there's some potential there for us to at least make some profit again this coming week is going to be a short week so you guys definitely be very very away that this week is only three trading days that we have in this week so Monday Tuesday Wednesday but some of this place here and have some potential I want to show you guys so first one on the list here is ticket symbol SGBX so that is one that we profile here on the channel SG Block these guys are in the business of actually taking used containers used shipping containers and converting them into beautiful architecture and the most recently signed contracts we plug energy and also creating testing sites for COVID-19 at airport so this one is an excellent play if we see here just in the past week the stock really made some moves look at December 18 squeeze all the way up to about 537 and then pull back and then not currently sitting at somewhere at about 525 but what I like about this one is if you can wait for a good entry price under five dollars that would be perfect if not just keep an eye and see the status season momentum you can pick this one and and run with it again the company uses used containers to really create beautiful architecture which we profile here on the channel so that is the first one on the list before we jump onto the second one guys if you're new to the channel we talk about how to earn money how to save money how to invest and build wealth so if that's something that interests you go ahead and hit that subscribe button and notification bell so you don't miss out on new content number two on the list here is ticket symbol FRSX this is foresight autonomous again this is another one that has shown some movement this is a company that is involved in building technology that can dictate object and really really crazy conditions supposedly it's not lighter technology the technology seems to set us a little bit better because they can go into like all kinds of crazy weather conditions they're still able to dictate as you can see here the demo in the video how they can spot that that vehicle from a distance even though the driver himself cannot see it so that is crazy technology so let's look at the stock a little bit this stock just took a crazy run this past week this is where the stock was trading December 21st and then when Apple announced the news that they were going to go start building cars or when that news came out that Apple wanted to get into EV cars and the stock just ran from there look at the 22nd it just took off and this is the 23rd look at where the thing went as high as $6 and 28 cents wow and then pull back now sitting somewhere at about five dollars my play here is this one is really good if we can catch it under five dollars there's room here to run all the way up to about seven again because it went and tested 628 so next run would probably break that 628 and kind of test seven so this is another one to keep your eye on again under five dollars would be a good entry point for this one the next one is clean energy fuel so again this one is one that's actually involved in providing clean natural gas for different companies here in the United States and in Canada and so I do like this one again we know that with electric vehicles there could be a combination we have natural gas that is clean not 100 clean but better than direct gasoline so this is a company that has some huge potential and recently has just been making some moves so if we look at the one week chart here this is where they were sitting at under 18 four dollars and some change and then come the 23rd they ran all the way up to $23 so this one again expect that pull back here look at that to seven dollars and then now sitting at eight dollars and some change so expect a pull back here seven dollars it would be excellent to kind of test this one to see if you can get in but if not then start looking at picking up some positions and then right the way if you see a momentum moving forward that's what you want to do jump in and catch it so again this is another good play that I think has some huge potential and then the other one that I'm looking here is ticket symbol MVIS this is microvision and again this is one that is actually it's using laser beam to do scanning and then projecting that information for people to be able to see so again it's very very small technology they don't it's not a big scanner that you would see very tiny you can hold it in the palm of your hands so I mean it's a technology that's up and coming we can see where the stock has been here most recently so if we look at the past week look at that the stock ran all the way to nine dollars and some change on the 22nd before pulling back down to right now sitting at six thousand some change so this one around five five dollars that 550 mark would be great but again you can start building a position for for these companies and just picking up a little bit and then add if you see the price drop so that you can dollar cost average your way down so this is another good one that usually I should keep an eye on and then again I think you're one and a half year is see back see back it's an interesting one to me this company is actually involved in development and manufacturing of rechargeable batteries the thing about is when I see after apple had that news that they were thinking of getting into electric vehicles this company you know kind of saw some movement a little bit and the reason why I just saw that movement look at the 23rd here went up to about seven dollars and some change because the batteries are the that they build they use what called lithium phosphate that is their own polymer for lithium battery and supposedly that's supposed to be better than the regular lithium batteries that you see and so apple is talking about getting the best battery that's out there and so these guys will be a prime candidate for it so we'll see but I mean you have companies like quantum skip with their solid state batteries so that might be a good partnership with with with apple as well so by this one we just want to write the momentum for now and get get out as we can but look under six dollars to get a good position and then see where it goes from there so that's another one bonus that I want to give you guys here is one is colonnade and this is not a penny stock because it's over ten dollars if you guys don't know penny stocks or anything under ten dollars so this one is over ten dollars this one is actually right now it's a lighter company so this is a spark so let me just make sure this is a spark but the reason why we care about this spark means because it's actually taking another lighter company lighter technology company public they're working on a merger right now to take another lighter uh technology company public so we're talking about uh we have lamina technology we have velodyne technology we have in novics and then now we have um ouster which is the fourth one and i'm going to do a video comparing all four lighter technology and tell you guys which one is my best that video is going to be coming out so guys these are companies or these are stacks that i'm going to be watching the penny stocks i'm going to be watching this week again just a quick recap here we have sg black ticket symbol sgbx um that's one that i'm watching we have ticket symbol f r s x as four side autonomous that's another one i'm watching we have ticket symbol c lne this clean energy fuel and then we have ticket symbol m v is and then again like i mentioned c bad ticket symbol c b a k that's another one that you guys need to keep an eye on and then obviously the bonus here is c l a which is calling it um a spark that is in the process of taking another lighter company public so let me know the comment section what do you think about this do you have any of this on your watch list or do you plan on really uh testing this particular penny stocks this coming week again guys you guys know my strategy when i see penny stocks that i'm interested in the idea here is to buy low and then sell high this is not companies that you hold um for a long time because some of these are very shaky so unless there is a good reason don't buy a huge position and some of these stocks find the ones that have momentum this news write it up take profit against secure profit don't be a greedy savage and move on to the next thing and then you can take that money and put it in more stable companies that have a reputation and you don't worry about them going from ten dollars down to two dollars in in less than 24 hours so that's something that you have to be aware of these are easy play monies but very very dangerous too so you can easily lost money with some of this place so be very very careful um that's it for this video guys again let me know the comment section what you guys think about the list what do you have on your list for this coming week um share it with us in the comment section and as always guys if you're new to the channel we talk about how to earn money how to save money how to invest and build wealth so that's something that interests you go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell so you don't miss out on new content and also if you're looking to get started with investing just take advantage of we both promotion here we've signed up on the pass of the hundred dollars you get four free stacks at no cost to your links in the

Today's episode is one I know that I'm looking forward to, and this is someone who is back now for a third time on the show. Certainly not her last time.  I think this year more than any other, we're all hungry to know that. Susan Miller is a true pioneer of the internet with astrology zone, celebrating 26 years on the internet. On December 14th, 1995, astrology zone launched with Pathfinder for Time, Inc. Then it was invited by Disney to appear on the go.com followed by ABC.News for Walt Disney, followed by Susan running her own award-winning site independently where she has been ever since, and you can follow and chat with Susan Miller on Twitter. Go to her handle, which is Astrology Zone, and I highly recommend that you order her Astrology Calendar, which is spectacular. I've got mine, it's hanging on the wall. It's right over here. I won't be able to show it to you, but trust me, it's a work of art with a lot of fine astrology information. I've had one for several years and I don't live without it. You can get one too by going to AstrologyZone.com, that's AstrologyZone.com, and get this year's Astrology Calendar. With that, I welcome the beautiful Susan Miller to Dear to Dream. Great to have you. Thank you. I have to say our calendar is all sold out. I was on Good Day New York and the host was raving, and I first came out with my self-published calendar in September. It takes five months to write and I wrote a lot and I just printed thousands on archival paper and hired the best artist. They all flew out the door and working on 2023. But for people who are disappointed, I have a solution. I took all the information because I write on the days that are important, and I put it on the premium portion of my app, which is called, it's a long name, Daily Harscope AstrologyZone by Susan Miller. But if you just search Susan Miller on Apple or Google Play, you can get my app, you get it for free first, but that portion is not on there. It's the premium portion which is a dollar a week. It's $4.99 a month and people love it, and you can pick the right day for your interview and so forth. Of course, I write 72 words a day on the premium, and I really give you a sense of every single day, 365 days a year, every single sign, and I include the monthly on the free and they paid app. It's the same uncut, same as the internet, 40,000 words divided by 12 signs. My fingers need little pillows. I write a lot. What a good problem to have.  That's really something to claim when you can say something that is really, it is a beautiful work of art and it's got a lot of great detail for people who love astrology. So I enjoy doing it so much, and I work with the French fashion artists. You know, it's funny. I know I have 40% male readers, but women buy calendars, men don't. They want digital on their phone. So in this way, I'm serving both. Men tend not to buy the paper calendars you hang on the wall, but I think we need it if we're doing an anniversary party or a baby shower or our own wedding or whatever. We need to look ahead, and it's so much easier with a piece of paper to keep looking through. And because we knew women buy calendars, I let Rip, you know, I'm kind of girly. And I just wanted to do a fashion-y, kind of beautiful French calendar. People who are curious, you can look on my website. There's a picture of four girls. That's the calendar, all ethnicities. And you can see some of the artwork that, you know, when you're switched to the other page. And I just have a lot of fun doing it. I like to make things. That's my favorite thing to do. I have both. I'm somebody who needs both, something on my phone. And I'm visually, I have to see a calendar. I have to look at a- Me too. I'm the same way you are. I'm totally the same. But guys tell me, oh no, I don't do that.  Well, then they have to see the calendar first. They might change their mind, just saying. I do have a website telling me they like it. Actually, we read every letter that comes into astrology's zone. Actually, because I write so much, my assistant calls me at 5 p.m. And she reads me the letters that have come in. And it's kind of nice to just sit back and listen. And then I tell her what I'd like to say. And it gives my hands a rest because after dinner, which I love to cook, so I make something interesting. And then I go back to work all night. Yeah, well, I've always been a bit obsessed about writing. And it was funny, I was watching TV once, oh, all the time, you know? I was watching the news and Stephen King was on. And they say, you're so prolific, you're writing so many books, Stephen. He said, I'm obsessed. Even when I go to someone's house and sleep over, if I'm invited to the country, I have to write. And I'm like, oh my God, that's me too. I don't have a choice. My fingers need it. I can't explain it, but there's an obsession. And I'm grateful that God gave me the ability to write. I didn't major in English, I majored in business because my father said I'd always work. I had not gone to high school, I had done homeschool. I didn't attend high school because I was so very sick. People who know me now that I was born with the birth defect and I bleed internally at a horrific rate. And when they didn't know what was wrong with me, why I was in so much pain and it would come. And then if I laid very, very, very still in eight weeks, it would go away. So the doctors thought I was making the whole thing up because they'd never heard anything weird like that. But when the chief of staff went in, when I was 14, my mother waited, she was an astrologer and she knew at 14, it would go away. Well, it did, but I was in the hospital a year. In my life, I've had 40 blood transfusions. They knew what was wrong once they went in and it was horrific and they had never seen anything like this. But they fixed me. I don't have any more. Well, I had one this summer. I fell in a garage on my bad leg and I tumbled like a little bit all sideways and I couldn't move after that. I was like in blinding pain and I had to hire a nurse in my house because the hospital said, there's nothing we can do for you. Mother nature is going to take the blood back and keep all of those red cells because it takes eight weeks to make a blood cell but only three weeks to make more blood if Mother Nature saves it and she's very conservative that way. And I had sprained all the tendons but I didn't break anything. Thank goodness. So I've had quite a year. Also my former husband died this year and even though we were divorced, we were close, neither one of us married again and he had Parkinson's and the medicine was doing great and then all of a sudden it didn't work anymore and two months later he was gone. It was a shock to me and the kids. So I'm still feeling sad that that's how the end of his life worked out. I feel it was unfair. He was a good person. He just didn't work a lot. He was depressed. And so the church actually, I'm Catholic told me to at least separate from him or get divorced but we still stayed friends. We were always together because my older child has a little boy and we both enjoy a little Otis so much. And now my other daughter's gonna have a baby next month. So I love children and I love little children. I love them all. I don't care how they are. That's so amazing. You're the second person I'm hearing who is experiencing a significant loss and at the same time as that loss, the baby coming in. And it seems somehow synchronicity. If you wanna hear something Erie, near the end there, Don had a convulsion and they sent him from the rehab center. They were trying to teach him to walk again and he couldn't swallow. He could only have like milkshakes or smoothies. So they sent him to Lenox Hill Hospital and he was unconscious and the girls were with him and they played softly his favorite music like Louis Armstrong, he liked jazz and Diana is a music producer. She's actually the music producer for James Corden for CBS. So she made mixes for him. So they quietly played that and spoke quietly to him even though he was unconscious. But my priest said he might be able to hear cause hearing is the last sense you lose. And she got a phone call while she was in the hospital that day. It was only one day that he was totally unconscious. And it was that she had three viable eggs with IVF and that they were all boys and that they were going to pick the strongest one and that she was gonna have a baby and that was six hours before he died. I also called her up and I said, Diana, when did they do the IVF finally? Cause he died on May 1st. She said, don't you remember? It was grandma's birthday. My little mom, June 15th is when they did the procedure. And now she's going into her ninth month. She's gonna give birth in February. So both people that were important to her are factored into this equation. This is a blessed baby. I love him. And I don't think there's a coincidence. Yes, he's gonna come into such a loving family. So there's a lot of people out there listening who are like, I also had a really rough, let's be honest, two years. And a lot of people are wondering, is this gonna be any better? Here we are at the start of 2022. And you say, yes. So tell me more. I didn't write the year ahead for 2020 or 21. I knew that we're gonna be tough years. And I thought, I'm just gonna be quiet. I need a rest. And I don't wanna talk about a year that's going to be challenging because sometimes when you tell someone it's gonna be challenging. It's even worse because now they're worried. In the hospital when I was there and I always shared a room with two other ladies who were getting horrific operations. We always said anticipation is worse than realization. That was our motto. And these women were in for, I was in the hospital to joint diseases, which is bones. So they thought my problem was bone and it turned out to be cardiovascular. But so I saw all these spinal operations, hip replacements in a big deal operations. But we always said the anticipation is worse than realization. You can get through it. You can, you can get through almost anything. But some things are much, much harder than others. And I would say losing someone. Or my assistant lost her cat of 13 years. She needed to take a week off. She was so upset. She loved that little kitty so much. The little cat was 13 years old. And I understand that. So with death, you have to take time to process it because it's almost always a shock and never easy to bear. I once read that love, grief is the price we pay for great love. But in my church, they have a saying over the altar. Blessed are those who grieve because they will be confident. And I always remember that. It was over the top and that gave me hope too. But when I was having such a hard time dealing with losing a little mom in 2012, I said to myself, what would she say to me today? And I know what she'd say, try something new Susan. And that's just when videos were becoming prominent. Like I was doing a partnership with Fresh, the skincare company, and they were saying, could you do a whole series of videos for us? And I'm like, okay, this is what mom's talking about. You know, and I did a TV show and it is good to do something new. Learn something new, do something new, go somewhere new, make a new friend, do something new. And I feel it distracts you for a while from the pain and that helps. And if you're proud of what you're doing, that helps. But if your listeners have any thoughts that they can contribute, I'm all ears because I've never talked about grief. And I realize that's a big hole in my body of work because we should know how to deal with it. And I've read articles like in Goop but that totally didn't help at all. So I wanna know if someone had, something that really helped them deal with the grief. And luckily I don't have regrets. If you have regrets about a person, if maybe you had a fight with them right before they died or something like that, that's harder. Luckily I didn't have that. I was always born and I had taken my mother on trips with me because she wanted to see Los Angeles, she wanted to see lemons and grapefruits growing on a tree and I showed her and my publicist said, hey, come in my car, I'll drive you around, I'll show her the sign, you know, we all went together. We had a lot of fun and we laughed the whole time. And then my children said, let's take grandma to Disney World. We did that in Florida. I just, we took her place. I took her to astrological conferences but she's the one that taught me.  Okay. They form mine. I have heard that this is a year like an RE kind of year of reevaluating. So I'd like you to weigh in on this and the truth of it or not. I think the past two years were about endings. Not the beginning of 2020. The year was kind of like a piece of Italian bread. The first three months were great but after March 20th, it was like a fairy tale. Like in the fairy tale that princess goes to sleep and there's a dinner downstairs and somebody's pouring wine and it freezes in spaces. Another waiter drops a tray and that freezes in space and people eating. And I felt like the whole world went into deep freeze and then we were sent home to reflect and think about our lives. That's why I think we have the great resignation because some people said, this isn't how I wanna use my time on earth. I wanna use it differently.  We don't like to lose a job or break up from a boyfriend or girlfriend or have our landlords say we have to move but whenever we break the chain of something we're used to, it forces us to try something new. And actually often we find that we go to something better. There was a reason that ended. Everything has a shelf life. Your time in your apartment, your relationship with a certain client, things change. So you have to be flexible. We don't have much of a choice. And so you said 2022 then is also going to be a time of reevaluating relationships, career and so forth going forward with your more stability. But I think people are coming to conclusions now. I love this year because it has so many lucky breaks. When I write the calendar and I've been writing them for 12 years, I look into the poor of every day of the year. So I'm really looking. And when I looked at 21, I was like, whoa, there are no little sparkling days, no little shots in the arm to give us optimism or a lucky break. Everything was hard. There were three monster moons. April 26th, one was a new moon on November 4th, which was very difficult. And then there was a very difficult new moon on August 4th. And new moons have a long tail. They follow you around for about three months, sometimes as much as six, but until you straighten out that situation and then you can move on. But this year, I love this year. All right, it starts out slow. Venus is retrograde. Okay, no Botox, no fillers. I know in LA, and you're in LA. People love to know that because the girls look so beautiful while they go in you. And so you don't do that until February. You have to February 4th. Venus will go direct on January 29th, but Mercury is retrograde, which is the planet of intellect and communication and electronics. And if you find that you're walking up and down staircase right now, that your software isn't being inserted properly, your computer's giving you trouble, you can't find the item you want in the Apple store because of the supply chain problem. This is all Mercury retrograde. Just wait, you shouldn't be buying electronics right now. Anyway, so January has a slow start, but isn't that nice? Because I don't know about you, but Christmas is strenuous. I put up a seven foot tree. I cooked a prime rib. Beautiful roast beef for my little family and took all the China out and polished up the silver and ordered flowers. Yeah, it was in presents.  I did all that with the beautiful bows and it looks like a professional, like somebody at Blue Dyes did it. And I wanted to make it special because last year my daughter in LA couldn't come home because Dr. Fauci was saying, do not travel. So we didn't see her for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Usually she comes home for Christmas because traveling two times with too heavily trafficked holidays is just too much. So she usually comes home for Christmas. And so this year she was coming home and my other daughter's little boy was five and that's when you start to remember Santa Claus and the tree. And I wanted it as big as the nutcracker tree. So I really worked hard, but now I'm really happy that it's a slightly boring January.  And we have something to look forward to next month. We have Valentine's Day. And this year Valentine's Day is Swedish sugar because Venus and Mars are gonna be together on the 16th. You will already start feeling it ahead of time. And Valentine's Day falls on a Monday. Some people will celebrate over the weekend. Some people will celebrate on that Monday. There's a full moon on the 16th that is just a peach. It's just gorgeous. And the 17th has Jupiter and Uranus in a beautiful conversation with each other. Uranus is the planet of surprise. Jupiter is the giver of gifts and love. We love it when they get together. This is the only time this year they will be speaking. And that gives hope and optimism. Lucky breaks, sudden surprises. We love it. Then March 2nd, a new moon that is made in heaven. It is conjunct Jupiter. And just later in that week on March 5th, we have Jupiter conjunct the sun. The luckiest day of the year falls on a Saturday. I will be telling people where that falls in their chart. And you should try something hard, like an interview with a company you don't think you can get into or an application to a college that you think, oh, they'll never give me a scholarship or financial aid or they'll never let me in. Try. Jupiter is the planet of miracles, not only good fortune. I love the sweet miracles. Yes. And even the 16th, lovely full moon. And then we've got a major, anybody in the arts. But we're all gonna benefit because we all love the arts on April 12th. Neptune. I cannot talk, bye. April 12th. I should put all of those on calls. Come on, pins and needles here. Well, I'm just gonna get rid of all of these. They're all on hold. Nobody can reach me. Neptune rules Pisces and this conjunction isn't Pisces. Jupiter used to rule Pisces. Not any, well, yes, now too. The ancient ruler of Pisces was Jupiter. The modern ruler is Neptune. Modern astrologers look at both to predict for Pisces. Now Pisces is an artistic sign to begin with. It's considered the most artistic and imaginative sign because it rules the subconscious. So if you ask a Pisces designer or a artist or musician, where did you get the idea for that song, for that painting, for that beautiful collection of clothing, they'll look at you and they'll say, I don't know. Well, they pick up so much in the world, in their minds subconsciously and they're putting with bits and pieces together. Jupiter and Neptune meet every 13 years, but they will not meet in Pisces until 2133. We will never have this aspect again in our lifetime. Now, here's what I think about this. All of us went through the pandemic together. We all had feelings about it. Some people found they could do things they couldn't do before. Like I became a really good cook, like a serious cook. But other people felt anxious. If they lost their job, of course they felt anxious or say ran a restaurant or worked in a restaurant. That was super stressful. I mean, so everybody had a different experience and I've always worked at home. I've never worked anywhere else. This is my home office. So I'm lucky because I wasn't having to adjust to something foreign and new. And my staff always worked at home. Some are in LA, some are in Florida, some are in Brooklyn. And they're all over the map. And my assistant was afraid of the subway, so we only conversed by phone. If I brought her in, it would cost me $150 by Uber. So I did it a few times, but I didn't do it a lot. But now that we've all had this common experience all over the world, because I write for Vogue Japan and W Korean, Amica Italy and Esmoda Spain and Claudia Brazil. All the editors were going through the same thing. They were all working out of their house. Even my daughter in LA on CBS, they were doing the show out of their apartments. No one thought that was possible. They did it. Now the art will take the thread from that experience. And people will be writing novels and screenplays, music and theatrical performances, fashion, food, everything will be influenced by what we've gone through. And that meeting of Jupiter and Neptune, don't think of it as a day. Think of it as a conjunction, which is the most powerful of all astrological aspects, the conjunction. Think of two hands on a clock at 12 o'clock. And then when it goes to the two, that's a sextile that your project, whatever you started becomes better. But then when it comes on the three, that's a square. It's squaring one of the hands and you have to fix the weak points of your venture. But if you do, it goes to the four and that's a heavenly trine, 120 degrees, you can't get any better. Then it proceeds, this takes weeks, months, sometimes years, goes all the way down to the six. That's an opposition, but an opposition isn't always a dispute. Sometimes it is, it could be in a relationship or sometimes it's two halves of the apple coming together to make a whole. It's a completion aspect. So I think by the end of 2022, we will start to see the template of the times blossoming. It will take some time, but that will be the trigger, the meeting of these two powerful planets, outer planets. And I looked at the Spanish flu. It was over in the middle of 2020, it took two and a half years. And look what happened, the roaring 20s, the beautiful clothes, the Art Deco architecture that rippled into jewelry and into the fashion too. The books, the literature, as Scott Fitzgerald. And it was such a time of exuberance and joy that people could go out again and they didn't even have a vaccine. I think we will be stuck with this virus forever. Like I Googled, when did the Spanish flu end? And Google wrote, never. The seasonal flu, where you get your shot in September, is the Spanish flu. They had to stop calling it the Spanish flu because it's not from Spain. It was started in Kansas, in America. That was a misnomer, so they had to stop that. But, you know, we've never lived with it. It's not going away, but at the same time, you see, I've heard that the pandemic is going to become an endemic. Meaning it will not have the severity that Unpron is showing that it's losing its ferocity and that the fact that it's so contagious, I have it right now. And I'm- You have COVID right now? I do. Oh, you could have, you could have- No, I'm so, I'm functional. I'm very tired, but I'm a very healthy person. And I sleep, I'm taking great care of myself, it too shall pass. I'm actually, in a way, look, I'm grateful for everything, but they say when you get this version, whether you're vaccinated or not, doesn't matter. The fact is your immune system now can combat it going forward. And this- But I think it does matter to get the vaccine. I've got all three. Yeah. Well, whatever the beliefs are, the point is that the COVID is starting to die and it's showing that and that people's health is actually starting to combat it. And these, they say, the scientists, this is very good for us. This shows it bodes well for this ending. You know what it is though, like President Biden said tonight on television that we have to get even more vaccines to other parts of the world because those people travel too. And the poor countries can't afford to make a vaccine. And we've already given out millions upon, I think 150 million to poor countries, but we have to, he said, let's do, we need to do more. So we are. They're also putting together- Yeah, we're gonna add on. He's also, Biden is also getting very specific face masks to send out because they say that the face masks- Well, the N95s, I like the KN95s that you get on Amazon. That's it. You can breathe better, much better. It's like night and day and it's a different material. And I found something out too. If you put perfume on your neck, your chest, when you put the mask on, it floats up and you feel like you're in this heavenly garden. And of course it's freezing here in New York, where I live. I mean, it's so bitter cold and the wind whips around the tall buildings and it's a force is a wing tunnel, but you have that mask on and you're in this little quiet garden. So I found a way to like masks because I have trouble with my nose. I'm a mouth breather. And one side doesn't work. They even found that when they gave me the test. They said, one side doesn't work for you. Do you have only one side of your nose? I said, yeah, I have a half a nose. So I learned to live with it. It's okay. And what do we see then through the end of the year? There are other mercury retrograde. Well, the spectacular aspects are the first of February, March, April, May. May 3rd is interesting. Jupiter and Pluto will be talking to each other. And I know the pundits said, oh, well, the economy is going to be terrible. No, it's not. Jupiter Pluto pumps up the economy. Now in 2020, Jupiter and Pluto were making a conjunction. And I thought 2020 would be a year of great financial gain that there would be bigger financial deals than we had ever seen before. Well, that did come to pass, but that was all the stimulus money that the government sent out. And I was curious, I asked my editors in different countries, did your governments send money to people? They said, oh, absolutely. Every government was doing it. But I still think this year, May 3rd, it's going to reach a pinnacle point. It can't stay that high. A few weeks later, it starts wobbling down and it just goes to normal. It doesn't go into the depths of depression or anything like that. I just think we'll have a good financial year. And because Jupiter goes into Aries on the 10th of May, all the way until October 30th. So think Mother's Day to Halloween. You're gonna see a lot of companies starting up. Aries is the sign of the entrepreneur.  I see skips at first, we have to share. So they have it now until May 10th. Then Aries gets their wonderful Emerald Year and they have to know what they want. If you don't know what you want, it's hard to get what you want. I know that sounds so crazy, but it's true. You need to know what you hope will happen by this time next year. Okay, because we're early in the year. What do you wanna accomplish this year? What do you wanna hold in your hand by the end of the year? And the universe will help you, everybody. And then you say, why? Pisces and Aries, they're the lucky ones, yes. But when Jupiter's in a water sign, it helps Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, and the earth, because water and earth make flowers, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. When it goes into Aries, it helps Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, but also the air signs, because air and fire, air makes fire burn more brightly. That's Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. Everybody gets chocolates this year. Now, there's one thing that worries me a little bit. Well, it's good and bad. Jupiter, Mars. Mars is the planet that teaches us to compete well and gives us energy and drive and has us do things that are hard to do that requires some courage. Mars goes into Gemini, August 20th. And it's staying, not the usual six weeks, but seven months.  Whoa, it's like high-optim. Why is it staying so long? It's staying long because it's gonna retrograde. And Mars retrograde is not great for product placement on the market. And that's why I think supply chain problems are coming back. And here's when it goes retrograde. Mars is strong in August and September, but September has Mercury retrograde almost all month, so there's annoying things going on. It's good at the beginning of October, first half, but it's already starting to get tired, just like people. It starts to get a little tired by the end of October, he's retrograde. Stays retrograde until January 12th. Mamma Mia, that's November, December, half of January. But Mars will stay in Gemini until March 28th. So the Gemini will not feel, oh, I'm getting cheated the whole time he's sleeping on the couch. Well, no, when he wakes up, he needs a little time to ramp up, just like people. Like I sit next to Mars, I'm like, Mars, wake up, wake up, Mars. No, no, I'm tired. It's January 12th, you're waking up.  Okay, that's a good idea. So take some a few weeks to get super strong, but you have February, September, September, but you have February and March to really move ahead, Gemini, and everybody. But here's what I wanna say to people. If you're launching something like a new book or going to present a screenplay to a studio or trying to start a Broadway show or I don't know, everybody loves your cookies and you want to sell them to Whole Foods because they're all made with safe ingredients and really good things. You gotta get it out by, I would say by July, August would be the best. September has Mercury Regigrate. If you can't get your product out by then, the first 10 days of October, then the door slam shut. If you say, well, why? I mean, how do you know this? When Mars is healthy, it takes him two days to go one degree. That's his orbit. That's how long it takes him to move forward. When he regigrates, it takes 12 days to go one degree. Now, he speeds up a little bit in the middle of the regigrate, but at that point by November, he's taking eight days to go one degree, which is still four times longer than two days to go one degree. So I say, get your product done early in the year. Make your big moves early in the year because that's when you're gonna be the luckiest, you know? So do you want me to go through all the signs to say what's coming for, you know, the main area of where the golden nuggets lie? Oh yeah, I would absolutely love that. I know folks who listen would too. What sign are you, Debbie? I am a Cansarian with a Scorpio moon and a Leo rising, and my career- Oh, that's so lovely. My career is in Aries, and my love life is in Gemini. If your moon is in Aries, are you born at night or when the sun is still out?  I wanna tell people I have discovered something. If you're born at night, the moon takes on special significance. Sometimes even more than the sun. And the Vedic astrologers in India have figured that out. And so I started testing that. And I saw it with my daughter. She's a Pisces, she married Leo, who is a Leo. Can you imagine she married a man named Leo? This is so funny. And he is a Leo, but he has Leo planets. And I thought, will her water put out his fire? No, because she's born at night. She has the moon in Aquarius. She has Venus there. She has Mercury there. Those Aquarian planets are super strong. Just why there's such a cute couple. So that's why people can't say, oh, I can't even date a Leo because it wouldn't get along with my Pisces. No, astrology is not a cookbook. And a seasoned astrologer should help you because I think anybody can get along with any other sign. Some people like the slight tension, the dynamic tension between another person. Some people want it smooth, but I think anybody can get along with anybody else with a little effort. But anyway, let's start. I always start with Aries. Aries is the bud at the beginning of spring. Aries, it's a quiet start this year.   It's not gonna get any better. It's actually gonna get worse. The first four and a half months is when to do it. Also, if you have cell text, you're so lucky because now there's teleconferences. You can talk to a professional therapist on your computer. And it could be a half an hour an hour every week. You could get a new perspective and how wonderful before you enter your Emerald Year, May 10th to the end of October. And then it comes back. After December 20th this year, you get more help from Jupiter and it goes all the way into 2023. So you've won the jackpot. Aries, Jupiter is moving fast. You're getting the cornucopia. When you have Jupiter in your sign, it is the best possible place for love. So if you say, I just can't meet anyone, well, watch who comes into your life now. We're not exactly now. We have to wait until May, but during that Emerald Year period, because you will meet many new people, not just a romantic partner, but many people and of high level who will want to help you. Career, money, health, everything, travel. Everything shines for you next year. This year, actually this year and next year. And Paisley's listen to this because you have it now. I love the next coming months. And I want you to think back. What happened to you last year in 21? Is you had Jupiter dip his toe in your sign for just a short period from May 28th to July 28th. But Jupiter went retrograde on June 20th. I even called my daughter and I said, I know you're Aries, but you have Venus in Pisces. That's why she's in the music business because that's a very nice place for the arts. And I said, does something special happen? She said, that's when the procedure was where I got pregnant. You think back, sometimes we can't remember what we did. So you look at photographs you took around that time or look at your email, see if something special happened. But Pisces, this is your time and your imagination is going to be sparked at a very high degree. So I want you to continue to work on your creative projects, even if you're an accountant. If you love photography or film or you love to cook or you love to sew and make things, whatever it is you love to make or book, maybe you wanted to write a book, I'd want you to vote yourself to creativity, especially this year. Because what you create in the beginning, when Jupiter goes into Aries, you're gonna make money. Pisces is gonna make so much money. Aries, you will too, but you have to wait until the second half of 23. All right, now Gemini, oh, Taurus. Taurus, you had a good career year, Lush, this past year. Yeah, you made some solid gains. You impressed the powers to be. This year it's gonna be less pressure, more friendships. Keep making new friends.  You might like it, no typing. I like Twitter and Instagram and Clubhouse. Those are my favorites. And I'm at astrology zone on all of them. So I hope you'll join me on them. Because I remind you of special days, I go on there. So Taurus, this is a year about friendship and your friends helping you. Also the ancients call the 11th house where Jupiter is going. The house of joy, where one special wish that you've held on to for a long time comes true. It could be material, like I hope we can buy a house. You know, we're trying to save up the money or it could be spiritual. For me, after I had Chrissy, the doctor told me I couldn't have any more children because I was in the hospital with transfusions and I came home in a wheelchair for four months.  You can have any more kids. And I had Diana when I had Jupiter in the 11th house when you were going to have it. Miracles, miracles, okay? And I'm still here. I said, you may not be. And I still went ahead with it because I always wanted two children. I know I can't have three, so I stopped. I mean, at some point you have to be practical. But anyway, Taurus, you've got that. I would like you to even join a club, professional, social, any kind of club or a club devoted to your interests like an astrological club, like the National Council for Geocosmic Research or the International Society of Astrological Research. I belong to both. It's really fun. You get newsletters, you get virtual meetings. And actually, ISAR, the international, that's the one I'm accredited from, is having a meeting outside of Denver in a town right outside of Denver this August. So if the pandemic is died down, I'm gonna go to it. Because I miss those conventions. Gemini, this is your jackpot year for honors, awards, achievement, fame.  And then you will be socializing more in the middle of the year. And then at the end of the year, Jupiter is gonna give you another shot and December is going to be deliriously good. Cancer, you have luck from foreign people, foreign places. Okay, however that translates. You also have luck with the college market or going back to college. Some people have said, well, I can't get a job. I'm gonna go back to school. Great idea. Education is the one thing that can put you in a whole new category. Some people are getting their Bachelor of Science, undergraduate degree, any degree, some are going for graduate. Other people say, I don't wanna do remote learning. It's not the same as attending college. I get it. And so you might be able to get some kind of interesting job in publishing or broadcasting because that house that's so lit up, the ninth house, where Jupiter is going to be spending time for those publishing broadcasting. It's the first part of the year, the first four and a half months.  And what date is that? What date? Yeah, for the canceranum. May until end of October for cancer, yes. Okay, beautiful. So you should enter contests. It's high profile. You haven't had this for 11 years. You've got a little bit more to go, few more months until you hit it. But everything you've been doing will come to fruition at that point. Well, not everything, but things that you're passionate about will come to fruition at that time. Now, Leo, Leo is learning to dance with their partner without stepping on their toes. You're up Saturn in the seventh house. You're learning about the give and take of partnership. But you have Jupiter in the house of money. Something you invested in is going to pay off. And you say, well, I don't have any stocks. Maybe some people don't.  So instead of paying a big bundle of taxes, you pay less because they give you a credit for putting money away. But let's say you don't. Let's say you didn't know that. So you'll do it this time.  Whatever you invested in is going to start to pay off. Big time. This is gonna be one of your biggest financial years. And then after that, the foreign people come back into Leo's life. And sometimes you're working with a foreign person or a company and you don't even know it. Like I had that aspect once. And I said, well, that's not happening for me. I don't have any foreign people in my life that are giving me a job. Not realizing when Hashat called me to write for Elle, which I wrote for them for six years. They were foreign. They were based in France. Their headquarters was in France. Now, of course, Hashat has since sold their company. But at the time I worked with them, they were based in France. And the French, well, are always so lucky for me. And God bless the French. Lingerie, perfume, champagne, ported chocolates, gorgeous cuisine, fashion. We love France. So you see what I'm saying. You've got a good year ahead. Oh, boy do you.  This is great. If you marry this year, this is great, but you don't have to use it for that. Let's say, you say, I'm already married. Well, then your husband or wife does really well.  You could travel or you could buy a house or maybe you could have that second baby you wanted. Whatever it is, working together with someone else is where the golden nuggets lie. Now, later after May 10th, it goes into your house of money. It's money that is performance-based, commission, royalty and cash advance, bonus. Something outside of salary, a court case that is decided in your favor.  It's outside of salary, okay? All right, Virgo, you're good with communication and you read all the time. Maybe you should go on Jeopardy or one of those shows. Next is Libra. Libra, you're gonna get gorgeous assignments this year. If you work for other people, everybody in the department is gonna say, what does she get the best one? Why does he get it? Well, he's earned it and you've earned it. And if you are self-employed and have to hire people, small businesses say their number one problem is getting people to work for them, finding qualified people and being able to afford them. Libra, you're not gonna have that problem. You're gonna find gems who make your company look great. So it's all assignments. Also your health is gonna be fabulous. I have found when Jupiter's in the sixth house and I know it makes no sense because Jupiter usually expands whatever it touches. Every time I've seen this, you lose weight. Now, not everybody wants to lose weight, but if you'd like to lose a few pounds, start right away, no reason to wait. Just start eating non-processed food. That's all, just say to yourself, no potato chips, no ring of things. Everything has to be out of the garden, real. But you can eat potatoes and things like that. For years, I wouldn't let myself be potatoes. It's crazy. It fills you up and you don't crave other things. So you're going to lose weight, get fit, have beautiful assignments, and then the marriage aspect's kicking in the middle of the year.  But you're gonna find it a smoother year, so it's good. Scorpio, you kind of won the jackpot. You have to focus on your personal life. You're such a hard worker and you're constantly worried about getting to the top of the ladder or the top of the pyramid of your work. This year, you've set up enough momentum. This is the best year for love that you've seen in over a decade. Now the same house of love is the house of baby. And my number one question is, can I have a baby? I'm 38, I'm 39, I'm 40. Well, you have the best chance. I say to all women listening, if you're in your 20s or early 30s, have your eggs frozen. Both my daughters did it. So one of my friends said, doesn't that hurt? I said, let me check. I'll call up the girls. Chrissy said, no, it's the easiest part of the process that puts you to sleep and they won't even let you go home by yourself. They want your friend to pick you up. I said, Diana, did it hurt? She said, no, not at all. Why are you asking me that? Well, I'm asking for a friend. So the media is not telling you to freeze your eggs but you should freeze your eggs because it gives you extra time to find the one you wanna marry. Both my children needed in vitro. Both my children froze their eggs. It's a good thing. Now you do have to rent the place where you put the eggs but it's like 500 a year. Most people can afford it. And if you can, your parents want grandchildren so probably kick it. I bet, you know? Every grandparent, you know, my daughter said, I read in the newspaper the thing that a grandparent wants the most is grandchildren. I said, that's right. More babies, yes. So it's a wonderful year for love and fun. If you're married, you'll have more time together. If you want another child, you can maybe, I mean, see a fertility expert but this is your best shot. And the first four months are so critical. March is beyond wonderful. The beginning of March, near that fifth, March 5th. Also, your creativity will blossom. Like a big hibiscus flower is because of dinner plate.  Sagittarius, this is your year for real estate. If you want to move, renovate, repair. I think if you want to move, you will find a big apartment or house with a view. That's very sunny because Jupiter brings sun. You know, when my older daughter was looking for an apartment after college, she had this apartment that was way too small she wanted to rent. She said, come down. All my friends are gonna be there and the four of us are gonna rent this apartment together. And so I was trying not to say anything. And her friend, Hilary's father was on the way he was coming. I thought, let him say this place is too small. I don't wanna be the bad guy. So he comes down and he says, I think this is an adventure. I said adventure, this is a nightmare. These kids are gonna be on each other's throats. This is way too small. This is not appropriate. And it's a brand new building. I go down to the doorman and the doorman, I said, do you have any other apartments? He said, well, it's a new building. Why don't you ask the landlord? He's getting into his Lamborghini across the street. Lamborghini, he's getting rich on the backs of these kids who are paying way too much rent for too little space. Well, after I said it was a nightmare, the kids started fighting with each other and Chrissy couldn't get them together to rent the house. So now she was mad at me. And I said, no, but you have Jupiter in the fourth house, you shouldn't settle. And if you're Sagittarius, you shouldn't settle. She said, mommy, I wanna live in Manhattan. And astrology doesn't work in Manhattan. Yeah, it works everywhere, everywhere. Two months later, she found a duplex on the lower side where she wanted to live. Each girl got a great big bedroom. There was a spiral staircase in the living room, the large communal space living room. Each girl had a bedroom, two bedrooms on the living room floor, two bedrooms up the staircase and it had an elevator. She said, hmm, and it had a view of lower Manhattan and a statue of Liberty. It was beautiful, very sunny, do not settle. I'm telling you, when you have Jupiter in a certain part of the chart, go for the gold. Next sign is Capricorn. Capricorn, you did well financially last year, very good. Now this year, it's all about communication. You may start a podcast, you might have an idea for an app and hire a teen.  The ancients thought that communication was so important that they gave an entire slice of the pizza pie, which is a hostile to communication. It was just as important, equally as important as marriage, love, health, money, career, fame. It was just as important. So this is your year to do that. In the middle of the year, from the middle of May to the end of October, that's when you can move and get the aspects that your friends who are Sagittarius have. Oh, by the way, Sagittarius, the middle of the year is unbelievable for love and baby. You know, it's so funny, I was talking to a girl and she had gotten married last year. I didn't know her, what we were talking on the phone. We were doing business together. And I said, do you wanna have children? And she said, yeah. I was thinking in two years, but I said, you're gonna have the good aspects in 22. She was a Sag. I said, I think the baby's coming whether you're ready or not. I think you should think sooner rather than later. I said, if I had a dollar for every girl that was crying on the phone, saying the IVF is not working and then it's $25,000 a shot. And of course, I help my children with that. You know, you have to help. They can't afford that. Insurance doesn't pay. Although some insurance does. A lot of it doesn't, you know, it depends on the company. But you know, Sag, you're gonna have a wonderful year. First the house, you milled your nest and then you have love. Capricorn, you're gonna find the house after Mother's Day until Halloween. Okay, I try to remember that. And then there's another stretch in December, but I think most people move in the summer when there's no snow and stuff. Of course you're in LA, you never have snow, but the rest of us do. Aquarius, you are committing to something serious.  Something that will give structure to your life. And it's pretty exciting.  The Virgos are gonna have that too, really good money. And the Virgos particularly have been beat up in recent years with strange expenses, things they didn't expect. It was actually unfair. It was coming out of Lexfield all the time. Their nerves were shot. That's not gonna happen this year. You're gonna have money. Well, Aquarius, everything you did in 21 is going to start paying off. And I've already done Pisces. Pisces who deserve this because you're always looking after other people like the cancers are and this is your year. That's awesome. Wow, that was so in-depth. I know everybody got a lot out of it and I was sitting here, every sign you mentioned, I would think about who I know so I could track that. That's so nice, your cancer, you're so giving. You're thinking, who do I know that I can deliver some good news to them? That's so nice. Yeah. And it made me excited to hear this for people at large because people need it. Oh yeah, life is such a gift. We have to use every minute we're given to find happiness, to be productive, to help others. Yeah. So we're at the end, Susan. Oh, okay. And I have one last quick question for you because I was a little obsessed. Just some backstory. I once went to a Louis Vuitton exhibit. And after seeing that and understanding the craftsmanship that goes into their clothing and their shoes and then I was beyond. Then there are trunks and... Yes.  A window. A window. Well, can you tell me about the opportunity? That is very grand. You know, you pray for these kind of surprises. It was like a shining meteorite coming out of the sky. My agent called me up and she said, Louis Vuitton is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Louis Vuitton. And they would like you to help fill in some of the information they don't have on Mr. Vuitton. Mr. King, where are they based in Paris? So they'll be calling you. Do you mind doing his chart? I said, I'd be thrilled. Do they know the time of birth? Yes.  And would you also read it for the press? I said, of course.  They've asked 200 visionaries.  They call me one. I mean, wow. I mean, my heart is beating outside my chest like Bugs Bunny, you know, it's coming in and out. I can't believe they chose me. There's no, we're all reading you. And I described him. See now, his background is very interesting. He left home early. First, he learned carpentry to learn how to make the trunks. He started with the trunks. Then he went to a leather tannery big company and learned all about leather. Now, in the olden days, 200 years ago, the trunks were curved. If you go to Ellis Island or any historical place and look at the old trunks, they're all curved. And I said, yeah, why is that? They couldn't stab them because they were curved. And they said, well, the water would roll down because they didn't know how to waterproof leather. But Mr. Vuitton, learning how to make the trunks, learning about leather, he figured out a way to make it waterproof. He also went to packing school. You see, what is that? Well, in those days, the women, he knew that he was going to build very quality items and that the only people that could afford them were the people who would go on these grand ships and bring their ball gowns. And they'd have to be packed beautifully in the trunk. So he learned how to do that. And he had the moon in Libra. He's a Leo, was Leo. His son was in the house of money. So we knew that he would do well. He had Venus and Virgo making him very meticulous. He had cancer rising. And the more I read his chart, the more I liked him. I just, it was just such a privilege to, you know, when you read a chart, or at least me, I had to keep going back. And my normal chart readings are two hours. And then it's still not enough. I need feedback. I need to go back to the person. And you see little intricacies that you didn't see the first time. And it was so exciting. So they said to me, we're giving these 200 people, you included these artists and visionaries, a trunk. They didn't give it to me. I mean, what would you put in the trunk? And we will have our creative lab in London help you. I said, I'd like to put the solar system in the trunk with sparkling stars. Is that scary for you? They said, no, not at all. And I sent them chalk models. I had found this box of chalk I think meant for children to teach them what each planet looked like and the colors and they were all metallic. And they were for rubbing on the sidewalk. But it said Jupiter, Pluto, it said all the names. So I sent them a FedEx of that. I also sent them stopped photography. I said, we don't have to have Venus be like a pile of sand because she technically is, I think we can tint her pink. We have a little creative license here. And they said, okay, sure, we're with you. And we built this beautiful image. And I don't know, gosh, I'm sorry. I'm gonna wait for this call to go away. My editor always calls me when I'm on Zoom. And while we're waiting, I'm just gonna, because we are here at the end, I'm gonna give out again your URL so people know they can find you at astrologyzone.com and also on Twitter, go to astrologyzone. And I just want to remind people on Instagram. Yes, and Instagram, Susan asked for some feedback. I love this. This is opening up a hard door when you get there for grief. You and I should talk and you tell me what your readers say. But by the way, of the window that I put together with the Creative Lab together, it ran in 400 stores around the world. This trial day. It was in August. It was so special. And so happy for you. And during that period that Jupiter was in Pisces. So I'm looking forward to it's coming. Yeah, that's beautiful. But if anybody has any thoughts about dealing with grief and what's worked for them, I would like to know. You know, we read every letter that comes into AZPRESS at astrologyzone.com. But they might write to you Debbie and that could be a whole other show because COVID has taken the lives of so many of our loved ones, of our friends that I think I have to begin to address a subject that's always been too tender for me to touch and I would like to know what people are thinking. Okay. I promise I will forward anything. I will see you. So folks, if you want to write to me, feel free. I will get everything over to Susan. And Susan, once again, thank you for an amazing show. Thank you. Thank you so much. So great to hang out with you. We'll talk again. Yay to next year. I'm very excited about what's to come. And I end today's show with this quote from JP Morgan.
