Episode 22: Zombification of Clairvius Narcisse
Hop on the spooky train again this week as Sarah tells us about real-life zombies and some dark sorcery in Haiti. Clairvius Narcisse mysteriously falls ill, dies, and is buried… and then shows up walking around town 18 years later? Then, if you don't want to vacillate on big philosophical thoughts like how a zombie sways between life and death… Be aware of Mars in Libra from September 14th to October 30th!! Right before HALLOWEEEEEN!
So remember mars is how we strategize and attack our problems. But Libra is so wishy washy, you say! During this time, we want to use our charm as a means to an end under the influence of this cycle.
Because we can see many different sides to an issue, we can be vacillating and indecisive about how to act. We don’t want to be the “bad guy”, but you need to be “some guy!” …. Instead, we will have a propensity to win arguments with style.
Keep in mind that passive-aggressiveness is the shadow side of this energy, and work to combat that feeling by trying to keep your eye on the prize so you don’t end up with decisions undecided.
Food Pairing: Fugu? I guess? I prefer life and sensation in my mouth but you do you.
