Episode Description:

In this episode, Jess returns from a transformative three-week trip to the Philippines and Taiwan. She shares stories of visiting her husband Gio's family in Calamba, Laguna, dreaming about an erupting volcano during her Pluto transit, and detouring to Taiwan where she explored the stunning Fo Guang Buddhist Monastery (home to one of Buddha's teeth) and the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas. Back in the Philippines, she attended a traditional Catholic mass, visited family burial plots, experienced a house blessing by a TikTok-famous pastor, and sought out a psychic healer in the alleys of Manila who told her she's "meant to be famous" — then trained her in curse breaking and astral projection. Plus, Alex shares a lighter trip to Canada with his daughter Violet.

Astrocartography & World Events with Dr. Steve

Astrocartography expert Dr. Steve (Deep Dive with Dr. Steve) joins Alex and Jess to break down how mapping your birth chart onto the globe reveals fated locations for love, career, and danger. The conversation moves from personal relocation astrology into geodetic world-mapping — using planetary lines to explain real headlines: the Iran-Israel conflict and Strait of Hormuz shutdown, unrest in the Philippines and Rome, and the ongoing Mars-Uranus conjunction threatening Southern California over July 4th weekend. Dr. Steve also previews his eclipse-based forecasts for Japan, upcoming U.S. elections, and a long-range prediction for America's transformation through the 2030s.
