505: Holding On or Letting Go?

A listener struggles to deal with change, grief, and accepting the ephemeral nature of life. She and Jessica have a transformational conversation about death, life, and how to manage wanting control and not always having it. The astrology of the week ahead is a bit of a mixed bag. Some supportive transits facilitate ease, but by the week's end, the Sun will oppose Neptune, sparking anxieties. Jessica breaks down the impact of that opposition in conflux with the chaos of the first week of Mercury Retrograde.  🔮 To learn more about Jessica's offerings visit lovelanyadoo.com 🪐 Learn with me & get my book: https://www.lovelanyadoo.com/shop ⭕️ Astrology for Days is available at astrologyfordays.com 📍 Support the podcast and get loads of extras (including a Ghost bonus episode monthly) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JessicaLanyadoo. 💙 For daily insights and resources follow Jessica on Twitter at @jessicalanyadoo or on Instagram at @jessica_lanyadoo ✊ Supporting local abortion funds that help arrange and pay for abortion care for patients who need it! - Give to The National Network of Abortion Funds at abortionfunds.org · Donate to Yellowhammer Fund at https://action.yellowhammerfund.org/VJwyf79UF0yW0qhFnyakGw2?emci=32aee290-24cb-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&emdi=98636d8d-26cb-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&ceid=1225801 · Donate to Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Fund at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/mrff?emci=32aee290-24cb-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&emdi=98636d8d-26cb-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&ceid=1225801 · Donate to Margins at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/margins2020?emci=32aee290-24cb-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&emdi=98636d8d-26cb-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&ceid=1225801 🪵 Your 5 Minutes of Resistance Assistance each weekday: https://chopwoodcarrywaterdailyactions.substack.com/ 🤖 To use Resistbot, text 50409 and it will prompt you from there
