Episode #48: Tiger Woman: the Showgirl Murderess & the 1922 Zodiac Back

11/27/2024: On today’s episode, Valerie shares the story of Clara Phillips, a young bathing costume model and showgirl turned jealous murderess, who in a fit of passion, attacked her perceived rival so brutally it appeared as if she’d been mauled by a tiger - that is if tigers were able to roll boulders. In the 1922 Zodiac Back, Amy Jo covers outer planet significations and how the 1922 solar eclipse proved Einstein correct! We discuss America’s favorite narcissist (apparently). Umm, FIVE stars named for him? Lastly, she covers the standardization of constellations, the sign of Cancer, and the upcoming transits in our Moon Moment.
