The shape of the number seven is theorized to originate from the constellation Ursa Major, which was used in ancient Egyptian afterlife rituals via the Adz tool. Garza argues that the seven stars of enlightenment were originally the circumpolar stars before being transferred to the seven wandering planets. This section also discusses how the 12-sign zodiac evolved from an earlier 8-constellation polar sky clock.

Host Greg Carlwood reflects on the interview, addressing potential listener sensitivity regarding Christian topics and clarifying his neutral stance on religion. He discusses alternative interpretations of the Bible, such as "astro-theology," where Jesus represents the sun and the apostles represent the twelve signs of the Zodiac. Carlwood suggests that the literal interpretation of the Bible is the least likely, favoring a view of the text as a collection of reinterpreted Egyptian and Greek myths.

The site of Sayburç, located under a modern village, features a bedrock enclosure with relief carvings of bulls and a man holding a phallus. The name "Sayburç" translates to "counting signs of the zodiac" or "watchtower" in Kurdish, suggesting an ancient astronomical purpose. The village faces potential demolition as the Turkish government and archaeologists move to excavate the site, which Newman believes is as significant as Göbekli Tepe.

Mass layoffs in the tech, banking, and media sectors align with recent astrological shifts and economic slowdowns. Jeff Harmon warns of increased potential for violence and planned unrest throughout 2023. He expresses skepticism regarding the honesty of modern elections, suggesting that charts indicate ongoing manipulation and coercion.

Jeff Harmon recalls a teacher who consulted for the Rockefeller family and international bankers using Indian branches of astrology known as Prashna and Mahirtha. This mentor provided specific calculations for the sidereal zodiac reference point, known as Ionamshas. Harmon notes that these complex techniques have proven highly accurate for timing events in his professional practice.

Jeff Harmon compares the accuracy of Tropical and Sidereal (Vedic) astrology, noting that Tropical systems seem particularly effective for mundane world events. He predicts a heavy recession or depression perfected by a Saturn-Uranus square in late September 2022. While Pluto enters Tropical Aquarius in late 2023, the immediate economic outlook is described as a controlled shutdown of infrastructure.

The discussion shifts to the Mithraic cult as the primary framework for modern elite occultism. Knowles explains that Mithras is synonymous with Perseus and represents the ability to rise above the ecliptic and escape the influence of the Archons. In this cosmological view, Saturn serves as the gateway to the stars, and the Mithraic mysteries focus on achieving immortality by transcending the bounds of time and the planetary zodiac.

Carlson argues that modern society suffers from a form of psychosis due to a lost connection with the cosmos and the night sky. He emphasizes the importance of psychic healing through reconnecting with the "primordial substrate" of nature. By understanding the movements of the stars and planets, individuals can regain a sense of meaning and wonder that was central to the lives of their ancestors.

The episode concludes with a preview of the second hour for Plus members, which covers the presence of the zodiac in the Federal Reserve and other Washington D.C. buildings. Other topics include "Matrix Astrology," radical thoughts on the moon, and whether humans truly need as much food as the system claims. Carlwood gives a final sign-off before the closing music plays.

Lost civilizations built sophisticated megalithic structures tuned to harmonic frequencies and the Earth's energy to facilitate higher states of consciousness. These sites often served as astronomical temples that mapped the zodiac ages and the precession of the equinoxes. The precision of these buildings suggests a level of technology and a set of moral values focused on surviving cyclical global catastrophes, contrasting sharply with the disposable nature of modern plastic-based civilization.

The episode concludes with a summary of second-hour topics, including potential links to the Zodiac Killer and Alcatraz escapees. Carlwood encourages listeners to support the show via Higher Side Chats Plus to avoid corporate branding like Disney Plus. He offers final praise for the organizers of live events like CooperCon before closing with the show's signature outro music.

Esoteric systems often rely on astrology as a foundational framework, following the Hermetic principle of "as above, so below." While there is not always a strict one-to-one correlation between specific Tarot cards and zodiac signs, the cycles of the stars help explain the archetypal meanings of the cards. For example, the Chariot card shares qualities with the cardinal sign of Cancer and the explosion of summer.

LaViolette discovered that the first 11 Arcana of the original Marseilles Tarot deck encode the physics of universal creation, a science likely passed down from ancient Egyptian Magi. This ancient knowledge is also hidden in the Zodiac, which uses universal principles and analogies to describe cosmological processes. He emphasizes that understanding these links requires systems thinking, which bridges the gap between disparate fields like mythology and physics.

Energy sources are categorized by their zodiacal and elemental associations, with fossil fuels (oil and coal) labeled as "black goo" or "Saturnian" profane fuels. In contrast, solar and wind energy are associated with the "positive" signs of the zodiac and the divine fire. The discussion notes that the elite's insistence on using "profane" fuels like oil may be a deliberate choice to keep humanity anchored in a lower material state.

Claims regarding Ophiuchus as a "new" 13th zodiac sign are dismissed as disinformation intended to make astrology appear arbitrary. While Ophiuchus is a legitimate constellation, the tropical zodiac used in Western astrology is a fixed geometrical division of the sky rather than a literal map of shifting stars. This system was designed thousands of years ago specifically to provide a stable frame of reference that accounts for the precession of the equinoxes.

The host previews the "Plus Show" content, which includes a discussion on the Chinese Zodiac's "Year of the Fire Cock" and its symbolic link to Donald Trump's persona. The extended segment also covers the transition from an Earth-dominant era to an Air-dominant era and the closing of 20-year and 200-year power cycles. The episode concludes with a musical track and a final sign-off to the "natal chart navigators."

The mechanics of the precession of the equinoxes are explained, detailing how constellations like Orion are "delayed" over 26,000-year cycles. Mathison identifies Osiris as a personification of the sun or Orion after it has been "drowned" below the horizon by precessional shifts, making him the King of the Underworld. The conversation briefly touches on the "Saturn Death Cult" and the linguistic link between the word "elite" and the god El.

A background in philosophy and psychology led to an interest in personality typing systems like Myers-Briggs and Jungian archetypes. The video game Final Fantasy Tactics served as a turning point for understanding astrology because its combat system utilized accurate zodiacal aspect doctrine to calculate success probabilities. This mechanical application of geometry and planetary distribution provided a more sophisticated model for human personality than traditional linear typing systems.

Austin Coppock details his website, his book "36 Faces," and his modular teaching programs for students of astrology. He advises beginners to learn the meanings of planets and signs individually before attempting to synthesize complex charts. The segment concludes with a speculative look at how astrology might function for a future Mars colony, where Earth would become a planet in the astrological chart.

Host Greg Carlwood addresses recent viral reports claiming NASA changed the zodiac signs by adding a 13th constellation, Ophiuchus. The segment clarifies that Ophiuchus is an extra-zodiacal constellation known since antiquity and that NASA's claims conflate astronomical constellations with astrological signs. This is characterized as a recurring psychological tactic used by mainstream institutions to discredit the validity of astrology.
