The Stars Made Me Do It

Happy Taurus season! Ciera and Mimí, along with Taurus Mercury guest, Jess, dive into the sensual nature of this Mercury sign.

We're back for another quality (in our opinions) ramble! In this ramble we dive into placidus versus whole sign charts and how placidus is more psychological and whole sign is more external.
