So I want to just acknowledge I will answer this in a way that is resonant for me as a spiritual person and also as an astrologer and, in this moment, your astrologer. I will also preface all the things I'm going to say with, me, I'm not Wiccan. Not that all men are bad and all women are great, but women have been subjugated by men for the bulk of history in most cultures, or at least in many cultures.Īnd so, yeah, we all have shitty ancestors. If you have men in your family, chances are incredibly high that you have some shitty ancestors. I think in particular, if you are born from colonizers, then yeah, chances are incredibly high that you have shitty ancestors. But I want to say that having shitty ancestors is really normal. It's just remarkably, exceptionally bad, yes. Now, what your great-great-grandfather did was exceptionally shitty, and I'm not saying that to make you feel bad. So, before I give you a comprehensive answer, I have to say there are very few amongst us who do not have shitty ancestors, who do not have people who were cruel and unkind to others in the family or to others in the world. Thank you so much, and please do not use my name. I'm wondering if my chart shines light on this feeling of disconnection and how I can feel whole with this part of me listening.

I seem to be the only person in my family that feels the pain of this discovery this year, as well as the only person willing to face it. I've listened to your podcast long enough to know that feeling guilty over this is a waste of my energy, so I've instead done things like donate to reparation efforts and residential school survivors, and continue to educate myself on Canadian history that I was never taught.

This means he actively took part in cultural genocide and abuse of Indigenous children and families. Earlier this year, I discovered that my great-great-grandfather was a minister in a residential day school in Canada. For this holiday and many others, a huge emphasis is placed on honoring and celebrating our lineage and ancestors. This week's question is a goodie and just in time for the holiday, and it goes like this: "A few years ago, I began practicing Wicca and celebrating the eight holidays of the pagan year, with Samhain at the end of this month being my very favorite. I’m an astrologer, psychic medium, and animal communicator, and I’m going to give you your weekly horoscope and no-bullshit, mystical advice for living your very best life. The astrology may be all over the place, but you don't have to be! Listen to Jessica's practical advice for guidance. Mercury is forming another intense square to Pluto, and we have an unpredictable New Moon in Scorpio on the 4th. She asks Jessica for help sorting out her spiritual path. How should you honor ancestors that were awful people? A Pagan listener feels called to honor her ancestors, but she recently discovered some truly terrible things about one of them.
