Time Personified

Bullseye The Clown may seem like an unlikely bullying expert, but with over 25 years of experience navigating around and developing innovative tactics to dealing with bullies, he is a one-of-a-kind force to be reckoned with. Don't let the makeup, red nose and colorful clown shoes fool you, he takes no prisoners when coaching the bullied how to stand up, speak out and reclaim their authority over their bullies.

Unapologetic, Bullseye The Clown uses wit, charm, and humor to deliver training and coaching that to some may seem a little controversial and overly simplistic.

Bullseye The Clown received his Bachelor of Arts in Comprehensive Theater and Communications from Ashland University. Throughout his career as an actor and stand-up comedian, he employed psychodrama techniques and the secrets of body language to not only read what the bully is truly thinking but to also create "characters" to get himself out of some very compelling situations.

Bullseye is so passionate about helping those who feel unloved, under-appreciated, and disregarded by society that he is revealing a number of survival tips and suggestions in his upcoming book, Bullseye On Bullying: Survival Tips To Beating The Bullies, as well as tackling topics like these weekly on his Youtube show, Bullseye On Bullying.

2018-2020 we experienced eclipses in Capricorn and Cancer. This is our first new moon in Cancer since the Capricorn-Cancer eclipses. Whatever work you have been doing on the Capricorn-Cancer eclipses comes into a fulness during this time and birth a sweet new beginning.

Empowering the feminine is about connecting to the part of yourself that has been oppressed through the patriarchy. Whatever your gender identity is, you have something here to reclaim. We have something to reclaim here as a human collective.

The feminine is the part of us that has a oneness with others and with the planet. It's the part of us that intrinsically knows. Your feminine side is your most powerful guide, and it can be accessed through working with the moon.

The first calendars were created during the agricultural revolution. They documented the solar cycle, so they could plant and harvest crops. The moon became outcast and eventually became feared.

The moon teaches us to accept and embrace uncertainty. Western culture is really good at seeking the answers at all costs, but we are not very good at surrendering to the mystery. We liberate the feminine by embracing the mystery.

This episode is being released on the new moon in Aries, so this podcast episode is an exploration of Aries and Chiron’s current transit through Aries.

We are in the final days of Aries season and we are deep into spring. Nature is coming back to life after winter. Aries is the flowering of the trees, its seeds germinating, it’s the plants sprouting, it’s beginnings. It’s birth, it’s something coming from nothing. Aries teaches us courage, boldness, and individuality.

Whether or not you have Aries in your chart, you can connect to these themes and you can experience Aries.

Anything you plant right now is what you are going to harvest later. You can intentionally plant “seeds” in different areas of your life, or you can allow it to unfold unconsciously, or you can find some kind of path in the middle.

Healing our boldness after the fear that COVID instilled in the collective. Because of what we have been through, we have different comfort zones than we had before. So the process involves exploring our new comfort zones and gently pushing ourselves to expand it in order to achieve our desires.

Historically, Chiron in Aries has brought movements involving personal freedom and self-expression.

You are enough and you are worthy exactly the way you are. Nobody can invalidate your identity and your life experience.

I am bringing the podcast back by honoring the new moon in Pisces with Heather Sanderson. Heather and I talk about how to dream with plants and connect with sacred plant allies.

Heather Sanderson has been working with plant spirits her whole life. In 2013 she studied herbal medicine at Third Root in Brooklyn, NY which led her to a 3-year apprenticeship in Sacred Plant Medicine with Carole Guyett in County Clare, Ireland. In 2019 she started writing with the plants to bring more of their spiritual and practical magic and medicine into the physical world and has a passion to help others understand how to connect with the plants and their own intuition. As a writer and healer, she works deeply in the sacred feminine and with invisible wounds.

Chad Washick has always been a seeker of truth, acquiring a philosophy degree in addition to passionately studying mythology & Jungian psychology during his time in school. A decade ago he discovered astrology in a deeper sense then Sun signs & horoscopes. After that, he began obsessively learning the language of astrology in all its complexities. It’s a powerful framework for understanding our stories & his background it was a natural progression to become an evolutionary astrologer.

Today I discuss the Gemini-Sagittarius polarity with Chad, generational astrology, and the astrological ages. Listen to gain some insight into what kind of energy is coming our way in the second half of 2020.

This is a special episode I have decided to record about the astrology of right now, how to navigate the moment, and what to expect in the path forward. 

This is an interview with Sarah Lyons, the author of Revolutionary Witchcraft, a book about how to use magic as a tool for practical activism. We start by talking about the history of witchcraft and the witch trials. "Witch" is a political term, and throughout history, it was imposed upon people, and it carried deadly consequences to be labeled a witch. In modern-day, the word "witch" is being reclaimed as an empowering label you put on yourself.

We talk about how we can rethink the witch trials as being a result of capitalism, so we can place the witchcraft movement in direct opposition with the oppressive forces of capitalism and imperialism. Before the rise of capitalism and the witch trials, the land wasn't something that can be owned, and life was dependent on seasons and the unseen world. When the capitalist mindset turned the earth into a resource that could be owned, those who had a deep connection to the earth and lived on the outside of society (witches, healers, other magical people) were systematically wiped out to make room for the new capitalist society.

As anti-capitalist and anti-oppression witchcraft and magic is, capitalism has a way of defanging the tools of our liberation and selling them back to us. Witchy products and other magical things are for sale everywhere, and companies are more than happy to commodify the spiritual movement of our time, just as it has done with countless other revolutionary movements before us.

We discuss how your magic (whether its witchcraft, astrology, divination, healing, etc...) can be a tool in the revolution. If this conversation inspires you to join a cause you are passionate about and lend your magical skills, I highly recommend that you check out the book Revolutionary Witchcraft and Sarah's other work.

Whether you are interested in witchcraft, know nothing about witchcraft, or if you just care about social justice, I think you will find this episode very inspirational and empowering!

This episode is a deep dive into the astrology of the new moon in Pisces taking place on 2.23.2020. The theme for this lunar cycle is a deep exploration of how modern humans have lost touch with our imaginations. We will begin exploring this theme through a deep dive into the Age of Pisces, and then we will talk about television.

Throughout 2020, I will be releasing bonus episodes about the 2020 election. I am going to start off by reading the birth charts of all of the presidential candidates in the race.

This episode is about Bernie Sanders and the turning point we find ourselves in during the 2020 election between democracy and oligarchy. We talk about his time as mayor of Burlington, VA, how that corresponded to the Saturn-Pluto cycle that just completed in January, and how he may transform the presidency if he gets elected.

February is Black History Month, so I invited my friend, Aziz Ahmad, to join me in discussing three remarkable black historical figures. Aziz Ahmad, alumni of Teach for America, teaches second grade with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. Teach for America places teachers in low-income school districts and advocates and organizes for education.

Aziz joins me to help tell the stories of these three people, and I offer a reading of their astrology charts.

Join us to learn...

• The origins of black history month and the importance of spotlighting black history
• Claudette Colvin's story and astrology chart: Claudette Colvin was the first black person to be arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white person on a segregated bus in Montgomery, AL. She took her case to the NAACP, and Rosa Parks imitated her actions in order to spark a movement that turned into the Montgomery bus boycotts.
• Bayard Rustin story and astrology chart: A civil rights leader who organized the March on Washington. He was a pacifist, socialist, and gay rights activist who was controversial during his time because of his identity and radical beliefs.
• Harriet Tubman's story and astrology chart: A former enslaved person who escaped her enslavers and then returned 17 times to lead more people to freedom. She lived an epic life, and she defied the odds every step of the way.
