Episode 27: Andre Rand (Pisces)
Join us this week as the Spooky Train chugs along for another episode before it’s final stop in Halloween Town next week. Meredith tells us about Urban Legends from California and Washington before embarking on the twisted tale of Cropsey from Staten Island. A crazed maniac with a hook for a hand that kidnapped children and take them to his underground lair. While these were just stories… Crospey seemed to come to life when children from Staten Island started to go missing in the 70s & 80s.
On October 20th, a Full Moon occurs in the sign of Aries. Aries is the first sign in the zodiac cycle so this lunation brings the energy of initiation. This full moon’s power is a good time to consider how we are honoring ourselves in the context of our close relationships. New ideas can spring forth, particularly regarding our physical bodies, leadership skills, drive to initiate new projects, and draw in some needed closeness to our partnerships.
This Full Moon also is a good time to recognize the balance between our personal needs, and attending to the needs of a significant other or close friend. Use the Aries energy on the 20th to figure out where you need to stand in the lines of independence and autonomy or dependence and companionship.
On Friday, October 22nd, Mars in Libra is square with Pluto in Capricorn. This intense aspect could cause tension and arguments; it may be best to avoid people. It is also school picture day! Send us your awkward school photos if you dare!
