Episode 12: Dorothea Puente (Capricorn)
Join us this week as Hannah tells us the story of a female serial killer, pathological liar, and a great cook… A woman of many names but better known as The Death House Landlady. We learn about mustard gas, social security fraud, prostitution, and “California” gardening. With the death toll at 9, it seemed like a good time to get a drink. Dorthea is a Capricorn Sun, Capricorn Moon, just like Hannah. Weird!
Hannah also needs to make a quick clarification as in the podcast, she said that digoxin comes from Hollyoaks. Hollyoaks isn’t even a plant, it’s the British soap opera that Hannah watches through clips on Facebook. Digoxin (however tf it’s pronounced) was isolated from the foxglove plant.
For astrology on July 7th we can finally say farewell to Mercury Retrograde! Communication should be back on track! On July 7th, the Sun in Cancer is sextile to Uranus in Taurus. A sextile is a planetary aspect where two planets are 60 degrees apart. Usually, a sextile is a very harmonius aspect, but this particular one might shake it up up a little bit so be prepared for a sudden change or the exposure of some deeply buried truths.
On July 9th the New Moon is in Cancer. New moons are a time to reflect upon beginnings, and with the new moon in Cancer, it’s time to commit to personal goals that align with the positive aspects of Cancer: What makes us feel safe? Supported? Maybe think about starting a home improvement project to create a cozy space in your house. Cancer is all about the feelings as well, so this is also a good time to look at your interpersonal relationships.
