The Cosmic Dispatch

The Cosmic Dispatch is a weekly astrological weather report about bodies: the celestial and the earth-bound. Join astrologer and body-mind therapist Cory Nakasue as she guides us through the ever-changing astrological weather and uses the tools of astrology to help us connect to our bodies and communities. At its heart, astrology is about relationships: to time, nature, and change. How can we best understand different qualities of time? How can we deepen our relationships with ourselves and others? We’ll use the week’s astrology as a jumping off point to discuss topics such as current events, health, personal development, and more! We’ll also speak with guests and listen to music that embodies the current astrology, and answer audience questions. Please email thecosmicdispatch@gmail.com to send questions to be answered on the show, and guest recommendations.

The Cosmic Dispatch: Off The Chart | Re-making Meaning with Jupiter & Mercury

December 03, 2024 • Cory Nakasue & Anastasia Wasco • Season 2 • Episode 51

It’s been a long time since I’ve done an “OTC” episode! These episodes are less structured and more illustrative. I invited Anastasia Wasco, writer, editor, and psychospiritual guide to talk about her experience of the Gemini-Sagittarius axis. Not only does she have a Sagittarius stellium (including Mercury in Sadge), but she’s also a Gemini rising. She’s pretty much the embodiment of the current situation along that Gemini-Sagittarius axis this month: Mercury rx Sadge opposite Jupiter rx Gemini (mutual reception in detriment).

I kind of just let her run free with her narrative, as I thought it was such an experiential representation of how Mercury moves through Sagittarius, especially when it’s retrograde: it jumps timelines, it explores, it detours, and extrapolates. It doesn’t give what’s expected or asked for, and yet...it does. It does it in its own oblique, philosophical way. Instead of simply answering, it expands.

Topics discussed in this episode:

Monomyth vs. other story structures

Neurodivergence and animism

Jupiter rx aspects in December: Jupiter opposite Mercury 12/4 & 12/26, sun opposite Jupiter

12-7, Venus trine Jupiter 12/19, Jupiter square Saturn 12-24 (second hit).

The 12/7 triple conjunction of Pluto, Venus, and Ceres at 0 degrees Aquarius and the

Persephone myth

Bottlenecks of information

“The forest for the trees”

Data without meaning, beliefs without facts

Confirmation bias and propaganda

Projecting our own stories on empty, broken, or incomplete narratives

Coherence and picking things apart

Critical thinking vs. indoctrination
