I’m excited to talk to you, Libby. Thank you so much for making the time.
LIBBY: Yeah, absolutely!
ABHISHEK: Oh, man. Besides the whole Covid situation going on, I know we were talking, and I was trying to schedule some time with you. And it took us a while to schedule time because you needed to check your… What did you call it? Your calendar that you were checking? I was like, “I’m gonna check my Google Calendar.”
LIBBY: (laughing) I just wanted to check the current transits, to see which day would be best. And from there, picking the exact time, see what the rising is, and the planet that rules the rising, what aspects it’s making.
It sounds really complex, and actually it taught me a lesson because all of the energies right now are so intense that there wasn’t… I was being almost too controlling by trying to zoom in and see which day is best.
When you’re doing something that’s lightful, and that utilizes your creativity and your divine gifts, and makes you happy and excited, it doesn’t matter so much what the transits are because you’re in alignment with your higher self, with your life pact.
ABHISHEK: I would actually love to dive into that more. I’m learning so much, new things. You said “transit,” it’s “complex.” I agree, it’s complex, but I think it’s very relevant right now, with a lot of stuff going around. These are things I can’t even see with my naked eyes.
What are some of the current energies going on? And you were mentioning there’s something called “transit.” Last time I heard transit was San Diego Transit.
LIBBY: Yeah, the current transits. When I say that, I’m referring to where all of the spatial bodies are in space, right now. Which includes planets, and asteroids, and stars. We refer to all of them as planets in evolutionary astrology.
By the time that this podcast will be aired, I’m gonna talk about what the energies are gonna be then, rather than what they’re like today. A lot of them are gonna be the same because they are planets that move more slowly, like the outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Jupiter. They’re all activated and activating right now, so we’re all going through an intense time. You can even witness this by the fact that we’re quarantined, and that we have all of these dramatic changes to our normal way of life. We have to wait in line at the grocery store…
ABHISHEK: The story I’m telling myself, “transit” is like spaces between planets?
LIBBY: Yeah, they’re like where the planets are right now, and how they’re relating to each other.
ABHISHEK: Oh, wow.
LIBBY: That’s essentially what that means, yeah.
ABHISHEK: Wow. Thank you. You were saying you’re able to look at a future date and determine potential transit.
LIBBY: Oh, no, the transits are not potential. You can see the transits and from there, that’s when you do the astrological work, which is determining what energies are gonna be acting on us as humanity. And how can we best utilize those energies.
Because those energies will act upon us regardless of what we do. But it’s like a spectrum, and you can hopefully tune into the higher part of that spectrum or you get used by the lower part of the spectrum. Does that make sense?
ABHISHEK: Well, it’s very relevant. It makes sense actually. And there’s a rainbow behind you, so it makes me think the whole spectrum thing really makes sense to me.
Let’s dive deeper then. You said knowing the transit can help us determine what kind of energies might be acting. So today seems like a really nice day, or when this will be aired it will be a nice day. But what kind of energies are going around right now?
LIBBY: Yeah, I’m gonna say some terms, but then I’m gonna tell you what they mean.
ABHISHEK: Thank you so much. I’ll be the first person to raise my hand.
LIBBY: (laughs) We have Jupiter conjuncting, Pluto, then Saturn. They are in a cluster that we call a stellium. This is very intense because this is showing us where we’re disempowered, or where we think we’re disempowered. Any illusions that we hold about reality are gonna be revealed now. And it’s gonna be potentially very uncomfortable.
We have this actual constrain on us, which is being quarantined and confined, and we’re being inundated with a lot of media. It might make us feel kind of powerless right now, like we have no control. When the true divine reality…
ABHISHEK: I think about that some more, this whole quarantine thing, we don’t really have a lot of control over it. Other people have made the rules. But how are the planets telling us these things? Like, these energies are changing. How are they telling us that? What is that relationship?
LIBBY: I don’t know if this helps at all, but if I were to show you the transits of the fifth of May, when this is gonna be aired, you can see Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in a little cluster right there. Jupiter is going to be amplifying the energies of Saturn and Pluto.
Pluto is about our soul, our soul’s evolution, and our empowerment. And the lesson there is that we need to surrender. If you don’t surrender right now to the universe, to what’s going on, you’re gonna get a butt whooping. Same with Saturn…
ABHISHEK: You were showing something, is that like an app or something? Or astrological tool? What do you call that?
LIBBY: This is a map of the transits.
ABHISHEK: Map of the transits, okay.
LIBBY: Yeah. And this is an app. This is called Astrology Charts Pro.
ABHISHEK: Okay.
LIBBY: But you can look it up on anything, on the internet, if you’re curious. However, you might not know what to make of it.
ABHISHEK: Yeah. Well just in case people were curious of a random day, like Christmas, they want to already prepare in advance. Makes me think. So Jupiter is amplifying. Pluto is about soul. And you mentioned Saturn, too. What is Saturn doing?
LIBBY: In evolutionary astrology, which is the kind of astrology I do, Saturn is the divine reality. And the divine reality is truth and beauty. Even when things seem ugly or hard, difficult or challenging, everything has a certain divine order.
When you have planets like Saturn and Jupiter in these strong positions, you’re gonna feel it. You might be going through a difficult time. It might be intense. Because what’s happening is that your soul wants to evolve. There are certain things that you’ve held for a long time that are not aligned with the true divine reality.
Like matrices of illusions, such as, “Oh, I’m disempowered. There’s nothing I can do right now. I’m so small. Oh, the government is gonna save me.” Whatever illusions you have, they might be rearing their head at you, to be cleared. Now is a massive time of clearing and detoxification, so we can step into this progressive evolution of our soul. Does that make sense?
ABHISHEK: It does, it does. Picking up some of the words you’re saying, “clear,” “surrender,” those kinds of things. I write three pages every morning, so I actually remember talking about the concept of surrender the other day. And it just kept coming back to me. Like, “What am I surrendering? Who am I surrendering to? What does it mean?”
So it’s very interesting you’re talking about this.
LIBBY: Yeah! What does surrender mean?
ABHISHEK: Usually in a fight it’s like a white flag. The other person’s not gonna attack you. I guess I was thinking more around like, “Am I surrendering to others? Or am I surrendering to myself? Where does it start?”
LIBBY: That’s a great question, because that’s also the question of Pluto: Where am I giving my power away? Am I surrendering to these forces outside of myself, that are dictating to me how powerful I am? Or am I surrendering to my higher self, to God, to source, to whatever you call it?
What that looks like, surrender in a spiritual sense, is an opening. It’s a receiving. It’s no longer fighting against what’s going on because everything that’s happening is in your favor, even if it doesn’t seem like it right now, even if it’s really difficult. It’s having trust, and faith, and opening yourself so that when you stop fighting it becomes a little less difficult. And you can receive the next upgrade or upleveling.
ABHISHEK: Upleveling. I’d love to include some of the apps or tools that you mentioned in the podcast description so people can know about them.
What have you been doing to stay… I was gonna say, to control these energies, but maybe we can’t control them.
LIBBY: Yeah, the lesson that I am learning, and learned recently, was that I was trying to control too much, actually. I’m very interested in how people use these available energies for their highest potential. However, one of those lessons is that you can’t control anything, and you have to go with the flow. It’s like being swept down a river, and you’re trying to hold a branch right on the side of the shore, and all of these driftwoods are hitting you, and the tide is pulling you or whatever. And then you just let go, and you’re floating down the river, and you’re like, “Why was I holding on so hard? That was so dumb.”
ABHISHEK: Hm.
LIBBY: That’s what I experienced with trying to control things. (laughs)
ABHISHEK: Thanks for sharing. I appreciate that.
LIBBY: Yeah, also you have Uranus in a square to these heavy hitter planets that I mentioned, Saturn and Pluto. Uranus is the planet of enlightenment. On the flip side of that is trauma and accidents.
ABHISHEK: So which side is it on? Is it on the flip side?
LIBBY: It depends on your own life. That day that I was trying to control things way too much, I opened my cabinet and this can of coconut milk fell from the top shelf all the way onto my foot, and it sucked. And I was like, “That’s Uranus.”
Uranus also, it’s like wake up, shake up. It’s going to wake you up. If you’re asleep, it’s gonna wake you up. Like an alarm clock going off, it might be pretty unpleasant. So that was an unpleasant awakening trying to help me to see where I was blocking myself. Because that’s where the most blockages come from, is ourselves.
ABHISHEK: Yeah.
LIBBY: It’s also extraneous things, but we often block ourselves from being able to just be in flow.
ABHISHEK: Wow. So there are all these planets, they have these characteristics that are different. They’re impacting us.
I’m trying to do meditations every week, so that’s been helpful as well. I know we talked about potentially doing a meditation as a follow up to this podcast. What is that meditation gonna be about? A teaser for people that might be listening here.
LIBBY: Sure. And I also want to say that your meditating is a perfect use of the energies right now. Going deep into meditation is one of the best things we can do to further aid this process of detoxifying what no longer serves us, and also elevating. Elevating the frequencies so we’re above all of the fear drama, and the lower frequency things.
This meditation that we’ll be doing is a very simple cleansing meditation. It’s with archangel Michael, and it cleanses all kinds of extraneous energies, and then we get filled with light. And you feel really fantastic and robust after that.
ABHISHEK: That’s awesome. I think that that’s a feeling a lot of people can use right now, so we’ll be sure to share the link for that meditation in the podcast as well.
As we’re wrapping up here, what are some other things that you may have been doing because you have this knowledge, as an expert, that other people can also do even though they might… Like I don’t know all about transit.
LIBBY: Yeah! Like we said, meditation right now is really clutch. Your meditations are going to be deeper than usual, just with these available energies. And even if you’re someone who’s like, “I don’t have time to take ten minutes.” If I meditated all day, but I didn’t really give it my all, and you took three minutes and you were truly connected, who do you think is receiving more benefits? It’s not about how long you meditate. It’s about truly connecting, and making that intention to surrender, or to ask for purification, or whatever it is. So meditation right now is going to be very beneficial.
Also, doing things that make you feel joy, and spark the passion you had as an inner child, the curiosity you had, the desire to explore, your adventurous nature. All of these are connected to lightful frequencies. They are not connected to fear, or to hesitation, or any lower frequencies. And that’s what we want to stay away from. We don’t want to get mixed up in those lower frequency things right now, because it’s especially easy to go there.
We want to elevate, and we want to feel joy, we want to feel connection. Connection to other people but also to ourselves, to that inner child.
ABHISHEK: Wow.
LIBBY: Those are a couple of things that come to mind.
ABHISHEK: Thank you so much. I appreciate learning all these things, and hoping to actually start using them in my own life. So thank you.
LIBBY: Oh, yeah. It’s my pleasure!
ABHISHEK: All right. Hey, everyone, thank you for listening. Please hit the subscribe button. We’ll be back next week.
