“So the solstice is a moment of pause. It's an opportunity to connect with the people we love. A lot of people plan reunions and gatherings, family gatherings, when the sun is in cancer.” - Rachel
“You can't be in your best creative flow if you, all of your energy and all of your focus is directed outside of yourself. Some of us create really well under pressure. That's another story. But usually the creative process is one that starts in the dark. It starts in your bedroom or in the shower, or it starts with a seed planted underground and opening up.” - Rachel
“And the reality is that when we feel a resonance for anything, when we feel, like, an anger about something, a deep resistance, when we feel a deep attraction, those passionate feelings are indicators that this is in our vibrational field, this is in our vortex, that we are attractors for that thing that most fires us up with passion.” - Rachel

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

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

Notable Quotes
[16:19] "Don't be mad at Saturn. He's trying to teach you boundaries. He's trying to show you limits. He's trying to teach you that you can do more with less, and that you probably have a lot of extra that you could do without.."-Bonnie
[26:04] "Venus says I'm enough because I'm enough. It's not because I do anything for the world."-Bonnie
[47:38] "Venus doesn't give homework that is 'I'm going to then come back and check and you're either going to pass or fail.' That's not her department. She's not going to give you a list; that's not Venus's style. And she's also not going to give you a deadline. The logline I have for Venus and time is 'Never late, always worth the wait.'" - Bonnie

Notable Quotes:
“I look at where Saturn is, and Saturn is moving through Pisces. It's moving in his 7th house, if you're looking at quadrant houses. I don't mean to get too technical, but it's in the house of his open enemies and legal issues. And so Saturn is the planet that relates to some of the bigger challenges, the hard work, the limiting forces in our lives. And he has some challenging Saturn placements this year and next year.” - Rachel
“I think it might be interesting as far as if we want to look at what we think might be the, or the result of this election may be looking at Stormy's chart because, I mean, so far, she's had a quiet role so far, but because she hasn't testified yet, but she's a star and going to be a star of the show coming up.” - Tisha

Notable Quotes:
[10:01] And the most active point of a lunation cycle is those few days, those couple of days when the moon is dark and it's moving toward being new, because that's when all of our shadow stuff comes up to play. That's when all of what needs to be let go and what we need to purge and all that stuff when we're in the process of detoxing. - Rachel
[14:03] It is really an invitation for us to lean in toward the aspects of our minds and our personal lives that are not capitalistic, that are not looking for a value in everything that we do or an economic value in everything we do, but that are all about really nourishing our hearts and nourishing our spirits and the aspects of ourselves that go underrepresented. - Rachel
[26:15] If you notice a pattern where something really dramatic happens or something takes your focus right before something really major and exciting and an attention comes to fruition, then that's what's happening. You are literally being anesthetized while you're going through this growth period, this uncomfortable growth period, your ego is getting quiet to allow your heart and your soul to carry you through and carry you forward. - Rachel
