Transcript

Justine Lemos (00:01)
Welcome back to another episode of Third Eye Rule with Dr. Justine Lemos. That's me and my wonderful ongoing guest, Scarlett Trillia. Today we're going to talk about Mars in Leo and Jupiter combust as well as summertime and Pithadocia. How are you today, Scarlett? I hear it's very hot in London.

Scarlett (00:27)
It is hot and it is getting hotter. So we are right on track for this conversation.

Justine Lemos (00:32)
Right. And

I think in a podcast a while ago, we predicted record temperatures all over the globe for this summer.

Scarlett (00:39)
Yep. It's looking like that prediction might be coming true. It's sweaty here and it's not even peeking out. That'll happen later this week. So, yeah, where to begin? Should we define what pitadotia means? Because I think we're going to say that word a lot. Or do we want to introduce, do we want to ease in? I have a tendency to just go straight to it, I don't know. Let's just go straight.

Justine Lemos (00:59)
Yeah, let's define pitadotia. Sure.

I think let's go straight to it. mean, our themes

today are Mars and Leo transit. So we want to break down what is Mars, what is Leo and what is Pithadochia. ⁓ so let's start there.

Scarlett (01:21)
Okay, so we haven't talked a lot about the Doshas. This is a concept that comes from the Arya Vedic part of this lineage. And we've been focused more on the Jyotish on the astrology. So I'll give a little bit of context. And of course, you can always reach out and ask us questions. And of course, if you keep listening, all shall be revealed. So you don't need to know it all at once. But the general concept that we're referring to when we say Pitta Dosha, we're talking about one of three ⁓

What's the right English word to use in this context? It's like a constitution. Doshia actually means a defect. But the way of thinking about it is...

more constitutional in the sense that we're referring to the fire element and a few others. We're referring to the fire element as it manifests in different contexts. I hope I'm explaining this well. So Aryaveda has a five element theory. We have earth, we have water, we have fire, we have air, we have ether. That's five. And they combine down into three doshas and those are vata, pitta, and kaffa.

on Pitta today because we're talking about Mars, fiery planet, we're talking about Leo, a fire sign, and we're talking about a combustion, is when a planet gets so close to the sun that it kind of burns up. So we're talking about heat and fire, which is what Pitta Doshas realm. There's a lot to explain. You don't have to know it all, but Pitta is related.

Justine Lemos (03:00)
Hahaha

Scarlett (03:04)
to summertime, it's related to heat, it's related to the digestive principle of Agni, which is another way of thinking about fire in action. We've talked about this on the podcast. There's a little bit of water in pitadotia that can be confusing, kind of like lava with a little liquid fire.

Justine Lemos (03:24)
Well, in Pitta in its

natural form is ⁓ damp heat, a little bit of damp heat as opposed to a dry heat, right? This is the tropics rather than the desert. ⁓ Not too boggy and tropical, but not dried out like a desert when it is in its most ⁓ balanced state. But we can, right? Exactly. We can see these...

Scarlett (03:33)
Yeah. ⁓

Mm-hmm.

That's how it feels in London right now. It's humid, yeah.

Justine Lemos (03:52)
Uh-huh. We can see the, in the Jyotish, we can see the four elements in the signs. And then the fifth element, which is ether, is not represented in the Jyotish chart because it is of the spirit in essence. So it's, it's not represented in the same way that the other four elements are. And of course we have fire signs that are represented in the chart. And here we have.

Mars, who is the planet of war and willpower and drive and aggression entering into Leo, who is pride and performance and leadership and ego. so Leo is naturally ruled by the sun, but the Mars feels very comfortable here in Leo. And Mars here will seek recognition and glory.

and will really want to be seen as heroic. So the big themes of Mars going into Leo will be creative courage and confrontational performance and righteous anger and really a protection of the pack energy, but we'll also see narcissism and power grabs and performative allyship and war.

theater and also ego tantrums as Mars goes into Leo and we're really seeing all of that.

Scarlett (05:28)
on the global scale.

Justine Lemos (05:30)
on the global scale, yeah, for sure.

Scarlett (05:32)
The way I

like to think about it, so I think we've mentioned this in the past, of all the planets, Mars plays the role, not just of...

kind of a soldier, but actually like a military general. And it's a general reporting to duty to the king who is the son. So it's like, I've either I've, well actually, Mars has just come out of debilitation, right? So it's like someone was off duty and they had to rest and recover from something and now they are back and they are ready to load their guns and like, and show their king that they are a winning general.

Justine Lemos (05:45)
That's right.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, for sure.

Scarlett (06:11)
they're ready to win a fight. That's kind of the energy. ⁓

Justine Lemos (06:13)
And we, we really,

unfortunately, like I hate to be right in this case, we predicted war in the spring and we are seeing this on many different global fronts. Like you and I sat down and we were like, yep, springtime, okay, World War III energy.

Scarlett (06:34)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. And, you know, we need to be careful when we make predictions, ⁓ of course, and we need to protect our egos. We need be careful with the egos. Mars and Leo, we can't get too righteous about that. But really, this is just pattern recognition that we're doing. And we're saying, this is a pattern that has been known to be related to these outcomes. We see the pattern.

Justine Lemos (06:53)
That's right.

Scarlett (07:00)
this kind of outcome is likely here it is. And I'm only bringing that up because I just wanted to remind us that several months ago we also said, this looks a lot like a return of some sort of COVID type pandemic. Maybe not a lock-in like we experienced five years ago, but I just got really, really sick.

Justine Lemos (07:14)
Mm-hmm.

Yes, you did.

Scarlett (07:22)
for a couple

of weeks, really sick. And now I'm hearing other people saying, there's a new strain. It's kind of coming back around. And we were anticipating this one for some reason as well. So I'm mostly just saying that to say, ⁓ correct. So there's an energy of...

Justine Lemos (07:34)
Because of the Kalsarpa yoga. Yeah.

Scarlett (07:41)
Maybe just having to stay home and recover from a longer term type of flu or sickness. Maybe having to stay home because of military activity in your geographic region. ⁓ Which is, you know, we are in Kalsarpa Yoga now with Mars and Leo, and that might look a lot like being in a bunker for some people. And we know that that's happening around the world.

Justine Lemos (08:00)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Scarlett (08:05)
not to make this a dark podcast, but this is the world we live in, right? And something that we've talked about that's also worth reiterating is we are not focused on just the good, the love, the light, because yoga is about...

Justine Lemos (08:09)
Yeah.

Scarlett (08:21)
coming to terms with all that is all at once, all the time, everywhere, right? And so not making space for things that are dark and difficult is like only acknowledging one part of the self, even though we're a whole being. but yeah, we're kind of in an arrangement right now that is going to bring up some of the more difficult topics. And I think that's probably consistent with how people are feeling out there, especially ones that watch the news or live in LA or

Justine Lemos (08:25)
That's right.

For sure. For

sure. Yeah.

Scarlett (08:51)
or Iran, there's a lot of places you might

be where this is just unavoidable because it's right in your face, right? interestingly, oh, yeah.

Justine Lemos (09:00)
And at the same time, yeah, yeah, while

we have Mars in Leo, which is this warrior in full regalia, really, this is military energy. We also have Jupiter being combust with the sun. And this happens whenever a planet gets very close with the sun, the sun's energy eclipses it and burns it out.

And so when the sun outshines Jupiter, we really have like truth is scorched and ethics become invisible. we get, ⁓ you know, this, we get the teacher who is teaching or wants to teach, but can't be heard. So the warriors don't have wise counsel, right? And even there's lack of leadership. ⁓

Scarlett (09:51)
Mm-hmm.

Justine Lemos (09:59)
in protest movement, or there's lack of leadership in general.

Scarlett (10:05)
Yeah, so just to give people ⁓ even more perspective on this because this is really important.

I want to say two things about it. Combustion, what that looks like, so when we talk about astrology, we're basically using a language and a system of patterns to help us understand what is literally happening in the sky above us. So you could lay outside on the ground for 24 hours a day and you will never see Jupiter, who is the guru, guru is Jupiter's name, who is the sage advisor to the king. You will not see him in the sky because the king

Justine Lemos (10:28)
Correct.

Scarlett (10:43)
is in the way. The sun is so close to Jupiter that it is in the sun is in the way. cannot see that planet until the sun moves away from Jupiter. And so what that looks like in a room is like the king is in the war room right now. His general has been resting, has come in. Mars has the mic. The sun is paying so much attention to him that he

Justine Lemos (10:45)
That's right. The sun is in the way.

Scarlett (11:09)
He's got his blinders up. It's like his advisor is right behind him and he can't even see him even though he's there and he's trying to say stuff but he it's like he's just it's it's just no one can see him actually the king is just blocking him and so it's and it's ⁓

Justine Lemos (11:23)
Yeah, the noble sage or like the teacher is, yeah, is, is completely

eclipsed by the general who's in the room.

Scarlett (11:35)
And this is happening when Jupiter himself is residing in a nakshatra, in a star sign that is very intense. It's ⁓ like an electrical storm.

Justine Lemos (11:49)
Correct.

Scarlett (11:53)
kind of placement. I don't want to distract us too much because we're trying to focus on fire right now. But Jupiter is in a place, Jupiter likes to expand things and is still expanding. We just can't see it because the sun is in the way, but it's expanding into very unstable energy at this exact moment. So it's like a storm is growing and brewing. We could see big storms, actually, ⁓ summer type storms. ⁓

Justine Lemos (12:13)
Correct.

Mm-hmm.

Scarlett (12:22)
with this like big electrical storms maybe even floods. ⁓ Anyway, tornadoes.

Justine Lemos (12:27)
or like tornadoes or, you know, like really big,

powerful electrical storms could happen.

Scarlett (12:34)
Yeah.

And there's another comment that I think we need to make. We're talking about Mars and Leo because that's a transit that just happened and we've been foreshadowing this a little bit. another fairly recent transit that we covered is K2 is also in Leo. And K2 has some of the same characteristics of Mars, but in a detached kind of ancient karmic way. But it's like the two most

Justine Lemos (12:50)
Yes.

Scarlett (13:05)
violent planets are in the King's war room together right now and very interestingly and Justine I want to give you credit for pointing this out today is June 17th three days ago in the United States there were these massive organized protests around no King right and it I didn't know this I'm in the UK it was the King's birthday so it's the King's birthday and

Justine Lemos (13:10)
Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Yes, it was ⁓ King

Trump's birthday.

Scarlett (13:35)
King Trump's

birthday. but people were talking about it over here and I was like, was, obviously out of the loop. But a no king protest when Ketu who is kind of means no is in Leo, the king's house is a very, it's just, and this is all occurring with Mars in the Maga Nakshatra. It's a... ⁓

Justine Lemos (13:54)
Mm-hmm.

Yes. And he,

he also, you know, tried to have a huge military parade for his birthday, which kind of didn't come off.

Justine Lemos (14:13)
be attended and it ⁓ didn't go as well as he wanted and all of these things. ⁓ And then everybody was protesting ⁓ with this no king slogan and it is so very much K2 in Leo with Mars in Maga and these hugely conflicting energy.

Scarlett (14:34)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Justine Lemos (14:43)
⁓ So that's all going down.

Scarlett (14:47)
That's all going down. I think musically, my gosh, you know what song just popped in my head? Sorry, jumping around. The song, Cruel Summer. ⁓ There's gotta be a few, like Too Hot by The Specials. This town is too hot. There's a lot of good ones. There's a lot of good heat and summer.

Justine Lemos (14:55)
Bring it.

huh. Yeah.

This town is too hot. Yeah. It also,

it also has a lot to me. It has a punk vibe to it. Like, you know, like classic punk. Yeah. Or even bikini kill. It could be some nice bikini kill.

Scarlett (15:13)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Okay, yeah, it's fast paced. Mars likes to go fast. Mars is the speed racer. And in the body, remember that the planets are related to the energetic centers, the chakra inside the body. Mars is in the, ⁓ why am I blanking, Maripura chakra is in the navel chakra. Yeah.

Justine Lemos (15:28)
Uh-huh.

Mars is in the navel chakra, navel, mani,

manipuri chakra. And it also, all the planets relate to the seven layers of the body, the sapta, the dhatus. Mars interestingly relates to the layer that is the nerve, the nerve and the bone marrow. So it's very interesting. It's like, because, but think of it, a warrior needs nerves of steel to go and do what they

Scarlett (16:00)
Mmm.

Justine Lemos (16:12)
are what they have been hired or required to do. And protesting requires nerves of steel, especially if you're doing like even nonviolent protests, whatever type of protest you need to have like your nerves and your nervous system together. It's actually Saturn is muscle because it's repetition, but Mars is the nervous system. And so we all want to watch our nervous systems right now.

Scarlett (16:36)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah,

and interesting about the bone marrow, so Mars is also often related to things like surgery and blood and the bone marrow is like, it's kind of like this thick red like, ooh yeah, you know what came to mind? mean, obviously it's like when you feel it in your bones, that kind of feeling.

Justine Lemos (16:48)
Yes.

Yes.

Yes, that's right. Yeah.

Scarlett (17:08)
And just back to talking about the chakra system for one moment, the navel chakra is related, it's right on top of the stomach where we have Agni, our digestive fire, ⁓ and it is related to pride and ego.

and achievement and accomplishment as well. if you really think about it, if you were going to get in a fight and you were trained as a martial artist, for example, and you're, you you don't just like swing your arms and legs around, you...

Justine Lemos (17:28)
willpower.

Scarlett (17:39)
engage your core and you kick and punch from the navel center. That's where you gather your strength there and then you push it out through the extremities. that's exactly it. Mars is very much a martial artist as well. In a more refined state, Mars is capable of ⁓ all of the peaceful martial arts too. You don't just always have to be fighting. ⁓ Also, ⁓ good.

Justine Lemos (17:43)
from the gut.

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Also,

I just want to throw this out. Mars is the planet whose Shakti is most related to ⁓ Kundalini awakening. We find in the imagery of Mars and Skanda, who is god closely related to Mars, he rides a peacock and then there's a serpent in the mouth of that peacock. We find that

yogis have a true experience, an authentic, it's hard words, words are so hard, of Jupiter is combust, words are hard, ⁓ of Kundalini awakening, that ⁓ a real verifiable Kundalini awakening is kind of rare in modern yogis, but we find in Kundalini awakening process that martial artists have it quite

Scarlett (18:46)
You

Justine Lemos (19:00)
frequently as well as soldiers in the heat of battle, there's so much adrenaline that's released that Kundalini Shakti begins to move and then it's interrupted because of PTSD and because it's released in traumatic ⁓ circumstances. so Mars has this relationship to the sacred fire that awakens.

Scarlett (19:25)
Interesting and this is even more abstract but

just to tie it all together. So think about a peacock and each feather has the appearance of like an eye, right? And pitadotia can be seen in the eyes, the clarity of the eyes, the strength of the stare, the color of the eyes. ⁓ even if you come from a race of people that doesn't have blue eyes, there will be a spectrum of brown, for example. So the lighter color eyes, whether it's blue or just the lighter brown, it doesn't matter. The piercing gaze.

Justine Lemos (19:34)
That's right.

Yeah. Yeah.

Scarlett (19:59)
the intensity is all related to fire element, it's all related to third chakra and it's all related to Mars and so I just took a yoga class and to digestion yeah.

Justine Lemos (20:01)
you

And to digestion, you can see someone's

digestion and how well it's going through the sparkle in their eyes. people as they age, their digestion weakens and then they get issues with the eyes glaucoma and other things in Ayurveda. That's all related because Pitta Dosha is transformation. It is digestion and it is

Scarlett (20:17)
Mm-hmm.

Justine Lemos (20:37)
the ability to digest through the eyes all this input that comes in through the eyes and then is transformed by the optical nerve and the brain into meaningful data points.

Scarlett (20:49)
Interesting another thing just while we're while we're here in the eye area never you never know where she's gonna get with us But you're gonna get a little bit of it But this is this is also really interesting because when we are practicing our uvata We assess the eyes we assess patterns on the face on the skin. We assess the tongue We assess the pulses etc. When you see eyes that have yellow discoloration in the whites

Justine Lemos (21:05)
Yes.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Scarlett (21:15)
It is almost

always related to heavy alcohol consumption, which is heat stagnating in the liver, which is also located in the area of the third chakra.

Justine Lemos (21:27)
Exactly. And is ruled

over by Mars, by pitadasha and you know increases heat in the body. In fact, in South India, they call alcohol the hot drinks because I mean it makes you hot and it makes you fiery and it makes you angry and it makes you all of these things if you take the hot drinks in particular like hard alcohol. ⁓ Okay. I've got to, we've got to get back on track. So fashion, let's talk fashion.

Scarlett (21:31)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. It makes you hot. It does. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. And... Okay, sorry, enough of that.

We gotta get back on track. Get back to the basics.

I've got one. I've got one. Okay. All right. All right. Let's go. Okay. So it just got really hot in London and you know, typically England's not a very hot country. So you don't have loads of summer wear. And so I just pulled out a couple of pairs of shorts. And the first thing I put on for this transit were like a tiny pair of like bright red, like lifeguard shorts. Like this is of course, I'm the only shorts I have that aren't like for going out. So I've just been wearing like red, tiny red.

Justine Lemos (21:58)
Yeah, come on Mars!

yes, you did.

Scarlett (22:24)
Red shorts. This is very much the energy of, this is a good fashion pick for this kind of moment. Yeah, lifeguard shorts.

Justine Lemos (22:30)
It's a really good fashion pick for this. Yeah. Also for some reason,

this came through to me. I don't know why. Remember when Madonna started to wear those really pointy bra tops? I think it's coming through because they almost look like armor or like, you know, like chest armor that you're, so something like that on top.

Scarlett (22:42)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. ⁓ like, like, like,

like, like the Fembots in Austin Powers. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So what came through as you were saying that for me would be like Madonna or like Gwen Stefani, like that kind of celebrity persona wearing like military camo cargo pants with like a ⁓ mesh tank top, you know?

Justine Lemos (22:52)
Yes, exactly right. That's what I'm talking about.

Yes.

Yeah, totally.

Scarlett (23:15)
to like with airflow and maybe a little

bit, it's a little bit seductive, but they've got the baggy camo on. I mean, obviously camouflage and any sort of military, like, you know how there's trends of everybody wearing like green military jackets, sometimes with a stripe or the star or whatever, ⁓ like Che Guevara's hat that cycles through fashion trends. But yeah, also like anything that's kind of in like the gender neutral summertime.

Justine Lemos (23:21)
Yes.

Yep. Yep.

Yes, totally.

Scarlett (23:44)
Clothing like board shore. I just saw someone wearing board shorts randomly in the city like it's like what are doing? So we're in London

Justine Lemos (23:50)
Totally. ⁓

Anything gold, red, metallic, you know, that would be all Leo coated Mars wear, something like that. ⁓ And then, you know, movie wise, I just have to throw out gladiator, which I've never seen, but I think could be highly appropriate.

Scarlett (23:57)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, something like that something with like a really strong like an Arnold Schwarzenegger type main character lots of ammunition Terminator lots of ammunition ⁓ Kind of like excessively heroic like I think at the end of true lies Isn't he like hanging on to like a helicopter with like one hand after he's yeah, it's like that

Justine Lemos (24:17)
Right? Terminator.

Didn't see it, but that sounds right. And it's not just,

what are those cars? Too fast, too furious. That's Mars in Aries, right? Too fast, too furious. This is a grandeur of the, grandeur and spectacle of the fight. My great grandmother who was Portuguese and she,

Scarlett (24:38)
Yeah. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Justine Lemos (24:56)
Whenever there was a big noise, like a tree fell, she would go, boom a crack a Fourth of Julya. that's the kind of... So I always say that. I'm like, whoa, boom a crack a Fourth of Julya.

Scarlett (25:05)
Totally. The other thing and...

I mean, as far as action films go, it's definitely like...

the heroic main character who's protecting the entire world from nuclear fallout and the bomb is it's got 29 minutes and it's counting down and they've got a machine gun their way through like so much opposition and then they'll turn it off at the last second and the bridge blows up it's like that and like yeah yeah yeah and they yeah they save the whole world and no one's the wiser you know it's it's it's like that

Justine Lemos (25:27)
Yes, that's right.

Yeah!

And then the car flips over and then there's just like explosion.

Scarlett (25:51)
What else we use? had fashion definitely. We got the fashion covered.

Justine Lemos (25:51)
Totally.

We've got to do our myth.

So let me do our myth and then we have to sign off because it's Mars in Leo with Jupiter combust and we are doing it hot and heavy today.

Scarlett (25:58)
Okay.

Okay, can we just bust it out? Myth it up.

Justine Lemos (26:08)
So

once upon a time, long, long ago, far, far away and simultaneously inside of each of us right here and right now, Skanda, who is also known as Kartikeya, Murugan, Subrahmanyam, Sanmukha, he is not exactly Mars, but it's in the same constellation of deities. And he is divine.

fire made flesh. So he was born ⁓ in unusual circumstances. Basically, the world was under siege by this demon called Tarkasura, who couldn't be defeated by any being except the son of Shiva. But Shiva was in one of his meditative retreats where he's going to meditate for thousands and thousands and thousands of years.

And while he's meditating, he's not getting busy with his wife and getting a son. So to save the cosmos, the gods ⁓ got Kamadeva, the god of desire, to shoot one of his arrows at Shiva's heart and to awaken him up. And at that moment when Kamadeva, who's like a Vedic Cupid, I mean, he looks quite like Cupid and he's got a bow and arrow of love, at that point when Kamadeva shot his arrow into Shiva,

Shiva ejaculated, but he didn't come into a womb because he's meditating, but into a sacred fire. Oops. And the fire couldn't be contained by the earth because it's like fire plus Shiva, the great God of yoga, his sperm.

Scarlett (27:34)
Ow!

You

Justine Lemos (28:00)
And so even Agni, the fire god himself, was overwhelmed by the intensity of this sacred fire. And so they were concerned that the fire was going to scavenge the earth. So they hand over the seed to the waters of Lake Saravana, where it takes form. out of this lake, out of this water, sacred fire into this lake, and out of this... ⁓

alchemical emergence, the fire of ⁓ Skanda, this beautiful child of immense radiance is born. So he is will plus purity plus fire plus Dharma. He is the synthesis of Shiva's stillness and Shakti movement. you know, nobody was able to nurture this child because he's so hot and flame-born. And so the gods gave Kritika to the Pleiades, the six

sisters that we call the Pleiades and these six which are the star sign of Krithika, which is a favored place, a very fiery place. actually the myth of those Pleiades come into Vedic astrology and figure quite prominently. But we'll talk about that at some time. So the Pleiades, these mothers raise Skanda in the mountains away from the corruption of the world.

and Skanda absorbs the strength and leadership and courage and he's called Kartikeya, the son of the Krittikas. ⁓ And so when the time came, Skanda comes out of the mountains as a six-headed, 12-armed general riding his peacock and holding a divine ⁓ spear and he has six faces.

that face north and south and east and west and above and below, all six directions. So this is awareness in all directions and he goes to battle with Tarkasura. And this is, and he slays Tarkasura with clarity, piercing through illusion and ego and delusion with his great spear. And so

Skanda is Mars transmuted. This is fire with a cause and anger refined into action and power born out of purpose. And the Pleiades are this community of midwives. This is very beautiful. the question is like, who is raising our warriors right now? And where is the feminine in the training of ⁓ our, in essence, our freedom fighters in

the struggle against fascism, right? And so this is the moment of choosing whether we fight with clarity or whether we burn in spectacle, which is coming right at us.

Scarlett (30:58)
you

I love it. I had a lot of beautiful things come to mind as you were telling that myth. ⁓ One just kind of note for our listeners, many of whom are likely yoga practitioners or practitioners of yoga asana, ⁓ skandhasana is a ⁓ posture that we practice to relate to Skanda and is obviously related somewhat to Mars as well. You can look it up. But it kind of looks like a karate move. Just reflecting back on it looks.

Yes, it does. It looks like ⁓

it's very martial. in that particular yogasana, we can really see ⁓ the influence of Kalari Payattu, which is South ⁓ Indian martial art form, very, very beautiful martial art form, where actually the martial artists worshiped Skanda and Murugan, who is very prominent in the pantheon of South India.

Scarlett (31:38)
Mm-hmm, it's very martial.

Mm-hmm.

Justine Lemos (32:03)
So there you go. That's what we've got. Mars in Leo with Jupiter combust. Stay cool out there. Keep your head cool. Take some cilantro. Drink some cilantro juice. Eat some cilantro.

Scarlett (32:05)
There you go.

Stay cool. Keep your head cool. We've we've kept your head cool

cucumbers, watermelons, ⁓ fresh fruit in general, but particularly melon in the summer.

Justine Lemos (32:28)
Stay peaceful

on the streets. Meditation is a good idea.

Scarlett (32:31)
Meditation is very good for this time period.

I mean, we're going to say that for literally every single thing, but it's really, really good for this one. ⁓ I also, sorry, as you were telling the story about the bow and arrow and the shooting of Fuga, if you are looking for a soundtrack, you could just type in coming in hot and you'll get your pick of like, maybe it's Peter Tosh or Lecrae. There's a lot of good songs. ⁓

Anyway, excuse me. I'm about to listen to one of those.

Justine Lemos (33:02)
Yeah.

And you know, so Mars is wanting to fight, Jupiter is silenced, the sun is craving glory. We have to look for that clear light sphere of discernment that is in Skanda's hand because Skanda is not just rage, because there's a lot to be upset about. He is sacred rage guided with divine purpose and his spear, his veil, it's called V-E-L Veil.

pierces through illusion. And we have to pierce that veil of propaganda and ego and confusion. So there you go. Shri Matri namaha, om namah shivaya. We'll see you next week.

Scarlett (33:48)
There you go.

See you later.
