Episode Date: October 25, 2024

In this week’s episode of Spiritually Speaking, Jess and Sam dive into all things Scorpio season and Samhain! 🍂✨ This is the last episode before they both take a 4-week break, but don’t worry—they’ll be back with an almighty catch-up soon!

Hello and welcome back to Spiritually Speaking with me, Sam. And with me, Jess. Welcome. Welcome. I'm not going to lie, guys, you're very lucky that we're here. It's been chaos this morning, hasn't it? Absolute chaos and it is 20 past eight. I feel like I've had a full day. I do. I'm literally sweating. I've been running around Chiang Mai trying to find somewhere that's not got building works and Wi-Fi. But we've tried it.

Yeah, every time that we've tried to record this, there's either been problems with building work, problems with Wi-Fi. It just hasn't gone to plan, let's just say that. It hasn't. It feels very Mercury retrograde, even though it's not in Mercury. It does. I was thinking that i

was like is there some reason for this it really does feel like that um i just so yeah i think regardless we are babes i'm hormonal i've been agitated for like three days so this nearly tipped me over yes yeah same i was telling jess before that the other day andy um ate one of the girls' snacks and I honestly looked at him and I was like, what the fuck are you doing? And he was like, chill out. Normally you find something like that funny. And I was like, that's not funny.

I was like, put it back. I was so annoyed. I was like, they can only eat certain foods and you're eating one of their foods. It was so annoying. I'm day two I'm day two oh god my voice one second sorry a bit croaky um I'm day two of my period and I'm literally so hot and sweaty and agitated and yesterday there was all this building work and literally I was saying to Sam it felt like you know that Japanese punishment where they drop water on your head all day have you heard of that yeah it felt like that but with noise and I was just like I'm going fucking crazy and I felt like I was vibrating because it was like yeah but normally I'd be like it's okay but I wasn't in that mood the hormones

were strong the energy was high even even we have our days where we just can't snap out of it yeah so sorry everyone but do you know what I feel like I'm buzzing I I'm pumping, I'm ready. Let's do this. Okay, yes, me too, me too. So we have our little announcement. Just come in there, hon. Go on, girl, you do it. We have a little announcement to make that we are going to be taking a little break, which obviously I feel very uncomfortable about I won't lie because it's not

in my nature to have breaks and when Jess said to me I think we need to have a little break I was like oh okay you know week two weeks and she was like no no we're going to have a month and I was like um what now um right yeah I was like let me um process this but you know what I honestly agree with most things anything actually I don't know why I'm saying most things anything that you say um and yeah I think it will be good for us I feel like since we've recorded the podcast we haven't had a break really unless obviously it's been the odd week where one of us has been busy um and we love doing the podcast we really do and we need to come back to it with fresh eyes and um I think yeah I think it'll be good for us yeah I just was feeling like yeah like I was I need a reset because I feel like at the moment I'm like at full capacity

um so then I was like, okay, right. I want the podcast to have the best content. And to do that, I need to sit back and reflect and work out the plan. But when I messaged Sam, honestly, I was like, okay, so we're going to have a break. And then when I was at a month, I was like waiting for your reply because I was like, is she going to be okay? You know what I trust I trust the process and I trust that you know what's best for stuff like that and that I sometimes

don't and I think that yeah I think it is what it is a month will be fine we will survive yeah exactly um and yeah you know what it's just funny I think because with you saying that you feel like you're at full capacity I feel like I've been at full capacity for the last six weeks and now I'm not necessarily at that stage yeah so I also think it's good for you yeah like in a nice way to then sort of get into a new routine and our next one will be when I'm back in person with Sam so it'll be a really lovely reunion episode you know it will be really nice yeah exactly so we're going to try and film it as well we'll see how that goes yeah cool sounds good I didn't know I was going to do that but that sounds great okay yeah we'll try anyway we'll see how it goes um sounds good

all right so thanks everyone for your support yes break if you don't like it yeah should we talk about our little topic that we're going to do today because obviously having a month out scorpios would have been missed and we didn't want to do that to you Scorpios because Scorpios don't forgive and they might not ever come back and listen if we leave them out so Scorpios yeah we've got you we've got you yeah I know quite a few Scorpios as well actually oh do you what are they like tell me. Well, my granddad was a Scorpio. And I would say fiercely loyal. Very. Yeah. Stubborn.

Yeah, can be, yeah. Very caring. Very caring. Yeah, very. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that's a good way to describe him very hard working as well yeah no I get that that's very Scorpio so Scorpio is a water sign it's obviously the

scorpion so there's that sting there's that tail there's that shell but there's that soft inside um and it's a fixed sign so that's where the stubbornness comes from or the perception of stubbornness with Scorpio. So there's a little bit less movement and fluidity, you know. It's not a fish. You know, Pisces is a fish. Yeah. Where a Scorpion's different, you know.

And, yeah, there is complete sort of sacrifice of Scorpio. So my mum's a Scorpio, I'm a Scorpio moon, my sister's a Scorpio moon. So I tend to date men that are Scorpios because I just love the intensity of a Scorpio man. There's quite a theme there. Yeah. And there is this kind of depth to Scorpio. And, you know, there's's something really it's my second favorite zodiac I know we're not meant to have favorites but I do um I think it's really badass and I think

it gets bad reputation and I think being a Scorpio is like the best thing ever oh that's nice yeah I've only like loved Scorpios I've never actually had a bad experience um with one to be fair um yeah so I've never never had a bad experience with them but yeah I think I I wouldn't have thought that it would have been a water sign yeah a lot of people don't realize that the same with Aquarius being an air sign people think Aquarius is water there's kind of this misconception with a few of them um your girls are Scorpio moons so you will you will get a lot of Scorpio energy from them because it's it's their emotional needs so yeah don't worry you've been prepped with me having this yeah so like the other day I voice noted Zan because there was something bothering me and it was about an individual who is very insignificant to my life but follows me on Instagram and basically I had it in my head

that like they don't like me they think like I'm doing all these things wrong whatever and this is like very Scorpio mean where it can like consume you and you can get obsessed with it and you can kind of build a story and you find this with Scorpio sometimes because there's intuition but like a story gets built and it could get a bit a bit too big the story sometimes you kind of have to bring it back yeah so obviously in that moment I go to my tourist friend and say help me because I'm having some thoughts right now that I know are silly but can you help me out and you did and it was like brilliant so sometimes the Scorpio we need that we do need that because we can stay in those depths for quite a long time um so when I think

about Scorpio energy like it's incredibly loyal like very very loyal until they're not still oh yeah yeah you know that is this there's there's these boundaries that Scorpio has but it kind of is it's so loyal it helps a lot but if you push that a little bit too far oh my goodness like you'll never be part of that person's life again you know and that can sometimes be shadow did you say that I was gonna say or I was gonna say almost to a fault maybe yeah it is so like I think when I was younger I had this trait so like if I was like someone hurt me someone upset me and it's only really been the last couple of years I've really worked on this like I just take it so personally that I just would like never forgive that person and be like how dare you like there was this real like you know

and my mum's a Scorpio and my mum's similar so like I'd say that like when it comes to us helping so if anyone hurts us we get a bit defensive as a group and it's because we've got this Scorpio energy where we're so loyal we're so honorable we're so kind but if anything happens to one of us the Scorpio comes out you know so like but it's not always a good thing and we laugh about it but I'm like right we need to get better at letting things go and we need to remember like we shouldn't take things personally and but it's like a protection you know it's that sort of energy and like I had something the other day was the other month with my flat and um a bill hadn't been sorted and basically I got this invoice and my mum was like

I'll sort it I'm gonna go down there and she literally rocks up to the office she makes sure she sits in front of that manager and she like deals with it you know so there's this kind of energy where like I'm gonna make this happen I'm gonna help you you know and it's ruled by Mars so there's fire there's this action so there's like real power to Scorpio but yeah it can end you up in trouble and I definitely think for me my Scorpio has been something that's held me back over the last sort of 10 years of my 20s I'd say so Scorpios that are listening you're probably laughing resonating with this because there is such an identity that you feel I think as a Scorpio with with this because it is really strong you know um it's really intuitive so you do

know things you do pick up on things and anyone that has Scorpio in their chart will know that about themselves if they're a Scorpio rising they they'll feel that. If you're a Scorpio sun, you know, whatever you've got in your chart, the Scorpio, you'll sort of see that. Scorpio is all about transformation. So again, if you are a Scorpio or you're with a Scorpio, or just think of someone you know, there's quite a transformative energy to them so what I mean by that is they're always kind of growing they're always changing sometimes they've got to go to the depths to grow so like there can be heaviness in their life because that's the only way they can transform so there's kind of like an old soul energy, I feel, to Scorpio that sort of brings this feeling of like, yeah, fuck it.

Let's just have a bit of turbulence in my life because it will help me grow. Because I've been here before. I've done it so many times. It's that sort of energy. Yeah. So you sort of see that with Scorpios. But I think for me, like when I think about my sort of depressive time that was when my Scorpio moon was in shadow and I think this is something that Scorpios can do which is they can hold on to

things for too long which is a stubbornness that fixed energy and it's connected more to emotions so you know you find that I found for myself that I would be depressed and I would just stay there. Like I didn't like alchemise that depression. So what I mean by that is I didn't feel it and then make change. I just sat with it and I stayed there because it was quite comfortable. And you find this with Scorpio energy, that like people that are Scorpio are used to turbulence in their life.

They're used to like a bit more intensity they can kind of get uncomfortable with being uncomfortable and then we stay there too long a little bit more like woe is me pardon a little bit more like woe is me kind of like revels in the in the yeah and like an element of like victim mentality but Pisces does that I'd say more so so like I think where Scorpio enjoys it like it subconsciously there's something about this depth the deep waters that kind of keeps them there and sometimes it's like you just need to come and see the light now you know and then they're like okay yeah I forgot it's quite nice you know yeah so it's just it's a bit of a heavier zodiac and we're in Scorpio season right now so like we'll all be feeling this Scorpio energy so we'll be feeling this transformation happening in our lives so for me that we're in

autumn I know in Thailand it's not autumn then I know in Dubai is it autumn do we have an autumn in Dubai I mean it gets a bit cooler so that's as much awesome as it gets yeah I feel like it's just summer and winter isn't it but like pumpkins are out yes yeah exactly so so it's all good um but like you know that it's autumnal energy the leaves are falling off the trees you know scorpio is is that energy where the leaves come off and you start something new you let go of the old and you allow transformation and the trees do it with you know no issues they're they're happy to do it you know where we don't like shedding. We find it harder as humans because we have attachments. So right now, like we're in this season of transformation and change, which is, you know, really good, but can feel really overwhelming.

So this is why it feels the right time to have a break, because we can transform. We can have time. You know, it's actually time to slow down right now. This isn't necessarily the time to pick up pace you know we're coming up to winter winter is hibernation that's time where we would store all our food and you know hide and eat and be warm so we're preparing for that we're not we're not in this action energy anymore you know which kind of makes sense for me because I feel that how do you feel um I don't really know I don't think I'm very I feel like at the moment I'm just um autopilot on getting things done um so I wouldn't say that I've really taken much time to consider how I feel at the moment um I think I'm more concerned about like everyone else than

myself um but that's very normal obviously when you're a mum to two little babies um but obviously I'm going away this weekend so I think if you ask me after this weekend I might say something different yeah and it might also just be like not even connected to family it could be like things at the salon it could be things in your work where you're just like do you know what we're all right yeah actually so this weekend we were supposed to be going to see Calvin Harris and um we'd bought these tickets in the summer and I was like yeah I'd love to see Calvin Harris seen him a couple of times like you know I would would really enjoy that they've got Ushuaia now in Dubai and then it started coming up to this weekend I'd forgotten to see Calvin Harris, seen him a couple of times, like, you know, would really enjoy that. They've got Ushuaia now in Dubai.

And then it started coming up to this weekend. I'd forgotten all about it. And I thought, absolutely not. Do I want to go and see Calvin Harris? Like he's going to come on at probably like 10 o'clock at night and I then have to get home, whatever. Like, even if I didn't drink, I'd still be exhausted the next day I still have to get up at the exact same time the next day and then be alert and um you know give 100% to the

girls because it's not fair on them that they don't get 100% because I decided to go out the night before and I was like no I really don't want to do that anymore actually so yeah anyway so it's and me and Andy are going to go out for dinner nice well done so you listen to your body there yeah so I did listen to my body and I did very much have that like hibernation feeling of like that's actually not something that I want to do anymore and I think I was just thinking of what old me would have wanted to have done yeah and right now that's just not the place that I'm in to want to do something like that I also think sometimes this is going off on a little

bit of a tangent here and not what we were talking about at all but I think when you have children sometimes you can be so um desperate to cling on to this old version of yourself and not want to see change and not want to become a mum in whatever the I'm doing here speech marks um it's not speech marks yeah it's just yeah um and not become like this mum version but actually I'm like yes I am a parent I am I am going to change there is a reason why people say oh you become mumsy and it's because you don't care about yourself anymore you're caring about other people and that's okay um but anyway yeah went off on a bit of a tangent there but yes definitely feeling that hibernation feeling I think after this weekend after I get back from Bali um I'm

gonna start thinking about Christmas. Of course you are, Sam, because you're like, here we go. What's the next thing? Yeah. So true. So like, can I make a suggestion from what you've told me, what you've just shared? So to me, it sounds like you're feeling very Scorpio energy. You're definitely in a transformation right now. So like, what you're saying is you're in this new version you know there's like two you's there's old you and new you so that I would really honor that right now and actually just put some intention into that over this Scorpio season and be like okay and that then yeah plan Christmas go for it like you know I'm not going to stop you

there my babes I want to play Christmas music already but like really look at like take time while you're on the airplane it's a long flight write some things down and and sort of really be proud of those older versions of you like those younger versions like the past versions of you that got you to this point and sort of say like thank you and sort of honor them and then you can move forward so I do that a lot because I feel like there's so many versions of me that I've been working through and I always take time like I did a real story the other day about like moving to Thailand I was thinking god when I moved to Dubai I knew nothing you know and I was sort of like bloody hell like so that version of me, I was like, after I

was like, Oh, gosh, you just didn't have a clue. And you did really well. Yeah. And I thank you for being brave. And, you know, and I and I take time to like, reflect on those versions of myself. So like, just do that. And then you can sort of clear it. And then you can start setting the intention for this new transformed version of you which now has more employees has twins has a house to run has a different you know style managing now because you've got more space more people like really put some intention into that because Scorpio helps with that so so utilize the energy my girl because it's it's good and also get used to it because your life is going to be like this with your girls you know they're going to want to transform a lot you know there's

going to be a lot there that you'll you'll you know you'll be really inspired by you know so um yeah and then focus on Christmas 100% I'm surprised you're not already well I mean I've booked a holiday but I plan on I am actually going to cancel, I mean, I booked a holiday, but I plan on, I am actually going to cancel it. I think I said that to you, didn't I? Yeah. Yeah. So, as a little insight to behind the curtain, I actually, I did book to go to Maldives at Christmas for five nights and I'm kind of, I still haven't actually cancelled it but um after a few discussions with Andy and with Jess um I feel like I'm gonna cancel it because it is outrageously expensive and it doesn't really make sense right now to be going and there are other things that we would like to do and spend money on so

I'm probably going to cancel it have I cancelled it yet no will I forget and not cancel it I don't know so yeah we'll see oh love it love it um another thing I wanted to touch on was Halloween because obviously it's the witch time of year and I wanted to share about that I just bought two pumpkins they arrived this morning oh nice I get a picture of the girls in the pumpkin yeah that's very cute someone told me they were like have you done that yet and I was like oh my god no I haven't so I just bought two pumpkins oh bless, bless them. And I'm not here for Halloween either. So that'll help my mum get up.

Yeah, but do you know what? It's not like they can go trick or treating. No, don't worry about it. Next year, there'll be a bit more. Well, I don't know. I don't know what age you start. It's sweet, isn't it? No, I think it's like three or four.

Yeah, I'd say so. So Halloween is Samhain okay spell s-a-m-h-a-i-n so this is the Celtic celebration of Halloween okay so this is like the more traditional festivities and then it changed and got more commercial into Halloween okay and it's the Celtic new year. So it's like the witch's new year. I always say, okay. So that's where this comes from.

Okay. And it's the pagan celebration. So that's where this comes from. It's the same with Christmas being Yule and all those things. So that's where this comes from. I'm not huge into the pagan cycle. One of my friends is, and she's taught me a lot, but I work a lot with

the solstices and that really resonates for me so you know I kind of dabble in this but I'm not an expert but I thought I would share what I know about it um so this is like it marks the end of the harvest okay so it's sort of like do you remember did you still have harvest festival at school yeah i love that day i forgot about that and all the other people would come in where you sing all them songs as well yeah so we would like sing harvest songs bring in like rice and stuff and like all the old people from the nursing homes used to come into our school it's really random yeah i i don't know if they used to come into our school but i think the school used to drop it off to them maybe we used to bring in like tinned food as well and yeah and then it'd be like the shoe boxes for christmas after that oh that was so much fun it was i used to love doing things they still do that they still do that yeah just thinking i might try and bring something like

that back that'd be nice yeah it'd be really nice to do something like that. But yeah, so this is like the route and the harvest time and it's all about sort of endings and beginnings, okay? So very similar to this Scorpio energy of transformation. Scorpio is very spiritual, very deep, very taboo. So it's Halloween. So it's all beautiful how it all comes together. So a lot of this celebration of Samhain is about

honouring the dead. And this is what I do. So obviously, my mediumship is in its element in this sort of way. But what you do, well, this is what I do, is I have a chair for each ancestor that has passed over. And you kind of represent all of them at the table and so I need to cough again goodness me sorry about that um so maybe I've got it's probably my granddad he had um lung issues normally when spirit come through they start showing me how yeah yeah have you when you had your reading with me did that happen a lot of people in their readings with me obviously don't do my mediumship really now it all starts to come yes spirit yeah yeah no it did very kind yeah yeah I've definitely

experienced that before yeah so sometimes they like to do that so hello granddad um so we honor our ancestors and those that have passed over okay so I sit sit at the table and that's what I do um I pull cards I work with crystals and I actually just sit and talk to them that's how I do it okay now I I obviously can do this quite easily for some of you you'll be thinking Jesus Christ this is a bit crazy she's a bit bonkers like I ain't bringing any spirits into my house i'm just imagining like andy coming home and me just sat at the table on my own but not on my own like and just chatting away yeah yeah well babes that's welcome to my world that's what happens often and like my mum and dad have got used to it now my mum always laughs because when when I'm at home like I nearly set the house on fire with like sage and incense my dad loves it he always says to me whenever I smell an incense I just think of you and I miss

you but my mum's like oh that smell I don't like it but they always know I'm doing something yeah they've made a room for me upstairs now that's like my witchy room where I just do all that stuff. So then they know, like, okay, just leave her to it. And that's when I have a chat with, you know, whoever I need to have a chat with in the spirit world. So the reason this is the case is because the veil between the living and the dead is the thinnest, okay?

So that's why this energy is there. So that's why there's like this story of ghosts and all those things. And this is where Halloween has come from. And some people would like sort of dress up as ancestors and things. And that's kind of connected to why people dress up at Halloween. So, you know, you'd hold like in the olden days, they would like have feasts and all these amazing things. And, like, really, like, it wasn't, like, scary.

It was just normal. And obviously the world we live in now makes it all a bit, you know, all a bit freaky. So it's also a really good time for, like, introspection, for, like, channeling anything. So, like, what I was saying to you about like this version of yourself like your spirit guides those people around you those those energies the the divine whatever the divine is to you god whoever if it's god then you probably don't believe in what I'm

saying so no issue but whoever it is and you have like more downloads of this energy so there's sort of that that feeling of the veils that as well and it is also an opportunity to like let go of things because again with the leaves falling it's autumn you know there is this thing of like shedding the old so it's really beautiful so like you know you could set up an altar for this so maybe you don't want to call in all your dead relatives like I get it it might be a bit much and if you do just please make sure you ask for protection and sage after but don't burn your house down um but you could just set up an altar like with leaves from your garden you know you could like get pumpkins you know apples like those more autumnal things and maybe it's up to you but like you could have pictures of them and this is something my sisters have laughed about.

I basically have a shrine of like all my relatives. I always have pictures and always I have things from their funerals. I've always been a bit, I'm kind of like that stuff. So if you're like me and you've got like funeral, like write-ups and all that stuff, get all out put it on the table get the pumpkins and just really like honor them and connect with them if you want to yeah no that's nice yeah that's nice but I won't be doing that no it is like I've got the um I've got the thing for my grandma's funeral the write-up so so yeah I was just thinking yeah exactly that's the

sort of things like and like I've got my great granddad's like pocket chief that whatever you call it my nan gave it to me yeah that and so I bring all these things and I kind of just like build this this sort of yeah altar of you do that every year yeah but to be honest I've got it up all year round I don't know if it's it's bedroom, actually, in my mum and dad's house. I have a shelf for my spirits. I've always had a space in my home for that. That's nice. I don't know why.

It is nice. It is a bit weird, but it is nice. I like to have those sort of things around. Yeah, I don't think it's weird. I think it's nice. I think it's quite sentimental and it's kind of like paying respect to them yeah I just like to have something of them and it's probably a bit of an attachment but I feel like it keeps that energy there of them and I think obviously for me like this stuff's so normal this isn't yeah so like

when things when people do pass or things happen like I'm a bit more um at ease with it to some degree yeah of course so yeah um it's a good opportunity to reflect you know any time to reflect is great but you know this is the Celtic new year so it's that kind of energy of reflection and releasing so like it's just beautiful how all these things fall together and then we have the new moon in Scorpio just after um which is a nice energy to like propel that transformation forward but I'll talk a bit more about that on Patreon um so what a great time it's the witchiest time of the year yes is indeed yeah what did you dress up as at halloween what was your vibe when i was a kid um so when i was little i remember

i'm a little laugh listening to this because she'll remember this we went to america when i was like i don't know oh my god or baby or something and i dressed up as something from barney baby oh i wasn't barney but i was something from that i think my sister was like a princess or something like that and i was like a dinosaur or i don't know um i can't remember baby bop or something like that i think it was i don't know i was obsessed with barney but i can't remember the other people and then I can't remember probably like a witch and a cat

the standard like ones really yeah I do like fancy dress but I'm also don't like really I don't know

I can't be arsed I'll be honest no no can I I think it's fun I think it is it can be really good if everyone gives it a hundred like a hundred I I think it's fun I think it is it can be really good if everyone gives it 100 like 100 I think it's brilliant but um the reality is that my day-to-day life

is so chaotic that I don't have time to give it to something like that yeah I found like as I got older like I used to just make outfits I remember having like white leggings and then the black leggings on top and like cut the black ones the white came through yeah I was quite good at stuff like my mum and dad would like fair enough because some of the outfits would be really expensive and as teenagers and I remember making this outfit I basically was a zebra I don't know why but I was like a scary zebra a great idea honestly like I proper went for it and spent no money which was great but yeah I used to dress up as a witch I like being a witch um oh yeah I was just like

here we go here we go so yeah so that's kind of the vibes of the energies right now um so that's it yeah I think four weeks off our break as well yeah bye uh during our break i think something to remember is that if you do want more content go on to jess's patreon because one of my um friends had said to me the other day like how much she loves the podcast every week and she was like oh my god i'm gutted that you're gonna be having a break and I said to her I was like you need to go on to Jess's Patreon because you'll get content very similar on there um yeah so she's got that I said to her I'm gonna have to voice note her once a week like similar oh yeah just do that like give a little update yeah even for my mum she's like oh I just feel like I didn't get to catch up on your life and yeah so definitely come over yeah my friends say that as well yeah and the thing is

with Patreon, obviously, like I post quite a lot of audios and it's very topic focused and it's just me speaking, but it's more educational and it'll be more to do with the energies that are happening.
