Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to coast am on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: And welcome back, George nor with you.
Speaker 3: Lisa barretta with US Artists, Psychic Astrologers, certified Reiki practitioner,
Speaker 3: and noted author. After receiving her first set of tarot
Speaker 3: cards at the age of fourteen, she began studying divination
Speaker 3: and astrology while honing her own innate psychic skills. Lisa
Speaker 3: is a member of the National Council of Geocosmetic Research,
Speaker 3: the American Federation of Astrologers, and the International Society for
Speaker 3: Astrological Research. She practices as an intuitive counselor certified Reiki
Speaker 3: practitioner researcher in the fields of consciousness and psychic sensing.
Speaker 3: A couple of her books include The Street Smart Psychic's
Speaker 3: Guide to Getting a Good Reading That's So True By
Speaker 3: the Way and Conscious Ink, The Hidden Meaning of Tattoos, Mystic, Old,
Speaker 3: Magical and In This and Transformative Art that You Dare
Speaker 3: to Wear Lisa, welcome back.
Speaker 4: Hi, Thank you, How are you Mac? I'm doing good.
Speaker 2: How did you get involved at the age of fourteen?
Speaker 4: What happened at the age of fourteen? My family very
Speaker 4: very Italian family, and we always had somebody in the
Speaker 4: family that would come over and read the oil in
Speaker 4: the water or read tarot cards, and I was exposed
Speaker 4: to it. By the time I was five, I wanted
Speaker 4: one of those little Dell purse books with my zodiac
Speaker 4: sign on it. And then when I got to be
Speaker 4: about twelve or thirteen, I would look in the back
Speaker 4: page of the local newspaper for readers and advisors, and
Speaker 4: I would get and lie about my age and I
Speaker 4: get readings. And then I just was in some type
Speaker 4: of a store that had all types of novelties and
Speaker 4: I saw a deck of tarot cards and I bought them,
Speaker 4: and I just, I don't know, just started to read cards.
Speaker 4: And then my group of friends I got invited to
Speaker 4: a lot of great parties, but I always had to
Speaker 4: bring the cards. I think the cards got invited. I
Speaker 4: just got to go along.
Speaker 2: Bring the cards where my girl was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got to the point where I used to
Speaker 4: lines I had lost them, but they knew I was lying.
Speaker 4: And then it just developed over the years. And then
Speaker 4: after I had my last son back in nineteen eighty nine,
Speaker 4: that was the advent of the Remember the eight hundred
Speaker 4: numbers people would call for the or the nine hundred
Speaker 4: numbers for psychics. Yes, I was just looking to do
Speaker 4: something like you know, because I did it privately. But
Speaker 4: I really got tired of people coming to my house
Speaker 4: because I had three small kids and it wasn't working,
Speaker 4: you know, So I found a you know, in the
Speaker 4: meantime between all that, I'm studying astrology with different people too.
Speaker 4: So I hopped on a nine hundred line for about
Speaker 4: three months until everybody quit except me and one other
Speaker 4: woman and the guy Harry. He used to own the line.
Speaker 4: He was actually giving readings at one point he wasn't
Speaker 4: even a psychic, but that didn't work out. But three
Speaker 4: people from that line they found a way to contact me.
Speaker 4: So over the years it just multiplied and multiplied and multiplied,
Speaker 4: and it grew into a business for me. But it's
Speaker 4: a business that's you know, if you like what you do,
Speaker 4: then you're going to love what you do. So I'm lucky,
Speaker 4: you know that It's just something I always did.
Speaker 2: Did anybody teach you Lisa that you will always remember?
Speaker 4: Didn't anybody? Well, my dear deceased now friend Kathy. She
Speaker 4: spent hours with me with astrology, every aspect of astrology
Speaker 4: that you can imagine. She's the one time right for
Speaker 4: in the Philadelphia area. Was the Philadelphia Bulletin she used
Speaker 4: to do the weekend Astrology, really really fantastic.
Speaker 3: Tell us about what's going on these days in the
Speaker 3: coming age? Or are we headed down the right path?
Speaker 4: Okay, well, there's no doubt we're weird, weird, weird times.
Speaker 4: Right now. We're at the very tail end of the
Speaker 4: Egypt Pisces. Now everybody has to stop and think, this
Speaker 4: is really an amazing even though it's scary and weird,
Speaker 4: an amazing time to be alive. This is not y
Speaker 4: two k or twenty twelve. This is the end of
Speaker 4: like twenty four hundred plus some years of living in
Speaker 4: this age of illusion. So we're in the birth canal.
Speaker 4: Now we're coming into the aquarium age. Actually, I believe
Speaker 4: it will officially start around believe it's around twenty sixty.
Speaker 4: But when any sign is in the last degrees, and
Speaker 4: being in the last degrees of this pisces, there are
Speaker 4: the drowning degrees. It seems like everything is being thrown
Speaker 4: up at us all at once. So that's how come
Speaker 4: some people refer to this time as a spiritual battle,
Speaker 4: but not in the dogma sense, more like right against dark,
Speaker 4: because we are starting to tune more into vibration and
Speaker 4: you get a sense like, no, I'm being lie to
Speaker 4: or that's the truth. It's weird because we're going through
Speaker 4: the transition, and the transition of any birth is the
Speaker 4: most difficult. So it's going to be an interesting time
Speaker 4: to live but also very weird and sometimes scary time
Speaker 4: to live.
Speaker 3: And ascrologically or psychically, are we going to pull through this?
Speaker 4: I think so I do. I really do feel that
Speaker 4: we're going to pull through this. There will be, of course,
Speaker 4: some people that are just going to want to cop
Speaker 4: out not deal with it. Yeah, you know, but I
Speaker 4: think for the most part you're going to be surprised
Speaker 4: because another interesting thing too, just for us, not collectively
Speaker 4: for around the world, but just for us in our area,
Speaker 4: the United States, we're going through some pretty heavy duty
Speaker 4: transits right now that basically, you know, it could be
Speaker 4: the revolutionary wargan, but not the sense that we're going
Speaker 4: to have a revolutionary war, more in the sense that
Speaker 4: take it up a notch to a vibrational level where
Speaker 4: people are starting to be like what they really like
Speaker 4: and believe in and what they just can't grab onto.
Speaker 4: A little bit of revolution there. Then we have Neptune,
Speaker 4: which is in its last degrees now too. Neptune not
Speaker 4: the era of running the you know, the age. But
Speaker 4: for us, that's all about the civil war. But the
Speaker 4: civil war not in the sense where you know, race
Speaker 4: is against each other. It's more about you know, people's
Speaker 4: value systems. We have that going on.
Speaker 3: What's happening to people though last I mean today somebody
Speaker 3: went into a fast food restaurant shot to people to death.
Speaker 3: People's cars are getting busted and the windows are breaking.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's crazy. What's happening.
Speaker 4: It is crazy. It's well right now we have Mars
Speaker 4: has gone through Tars. So wherever Mars is, that's usually
Speaker 4: where you can find some plate of activity and Tars rules.
Speaker 4: You know. The material world, I think a lot of
Speaker 4: people are snapping out of their finances. They really do.
Speaker 4: They just go crazy. They don't like that they don't
Speaker 4: have what they want anymore, and they can't go to
Speaker 4: the store and spend what they used to spend, and
Speaker 4: they're so frustrated. They find somebody they want to target.
Speaker 4: You know, they're doing a projection they're going to just
Speaker 4: target a group or a person or store and just
Speaker 4: snap out. And I think it's the energy coming into
Speaker 4: you know, there's a lot of heavy duty energy just
Speaker 4: from the solar flares. And some people may think like
Speaker 4: you really think so, but we do. We have this
Speaker 4: electromagnetic field around us, and I don't think some people
Speaker 4: can handle that either.
Speaker 2: What does a higher state of consciousness mean to you?
Speaker 4: A higher state of consciousness doesn't mean you have to
Speaker 4: sit in some type of a position and meditate, But
Speaker 4: it's about taking the way you think and you perceive
Speaker 4: what's going on to the next level. Take it up
Speaker 4: a notch. Don't get so caught up in just this
Speaker 4: three D web where you know everything is just as
Speaker 4: you see it. Take it up level and try to
Speaker 4: see it from a different perspective. And that's hard to
Speaker 4: do sometimes. But once you can master that, you really
Speaker 4: don't want to go back down, because once you get up,
Speaker 4: you don't want to go back down. So it's just
Speaker 4: getting there that's difficult.
Speaker 2: I mean, next week is the fourth of July. I
Speaker 2: can't believe how fast this year is going. Lisa Candy,
Speaker 2: can you, Oh.
Speaker 4: We're in fast time? Everybody says that it seems like
Speaker 4: just two weeks ago I was shoveling snow. But yeah,
Speaker 4: we're in fast time. You know, the Earth now is
Speaker 4: in it's moving along. We just don't stay in one
Speaker 4: spot in the Milky Way galaxy. We're moving along and
Speaker 4: we're moving into what they'd say the new Agers called
Speaker 4: the photime belt, but NASA actually did say there was
Speaker 4: a lot of you know, electromagnetic activity in this one
Speaker 4: area that we're moving through, although they won't call it
Speaker 4: the photon belt, but something's there. I think that we're
Speaker 4: we're perceiving time differently because we're in a faster light
Speaker 4: and you know, time is just an illusion anyway. You know,
Speaker 4: this is all about vibration. So we're moving into a
Speaker 4: higher vibratory part of the galaxy.
Speaker 2: What do you think our next phase it might be.
Speaker 4: I think our next phase we're getting there. We're not
Speaker 4: right there yet, but I feel that we're going to
Speaker 4: become more homo sentient and instead of homosapien, which by
Speaker 4: that I mean really really embracing because everybody has them,
Speaker 4: your extra sensory senses, not that you're going to go
Speaker 4: and you know, just randomly do a cold reading with someone.
Speaker 4: But by that I mean your intuition, your ability to
Speaker 4: sense when something's wrong even with yourself, and the body
Speaker 4: is actually designed to heal itself. I mean we're away
Speaker 4: from that, but once you get to that level you
Speaker 4: and really really see what it's like living from the higher.
Speaker 3: Perspective, it'll heal itself if you take care of it
Speaker 3: right right now.
Speaker 4: But we're going to get to a point where everything's
Speaker 4: about vibration. It's going to be all about vibration as
Speaker 4: we start to evolve as a humanity because we have
Speaker 4: to keep up with the vibration of all of the
Speaker 4: other planets and the stars within our solar system. Here,
Speaker 4: it's all about vibration. I mean, everything just starts with that,
Speaker 4: and it's the process of evolution. If you don't evolve,
Speaker 4: you're going to devolve, and then that's it. It's curtained. So,
Speaker 4: like I said, some people won't be able to handle
Speaker 4: it and they'll check out. But the ones that are
Speaker 4: open to it and don't fear change because fear is false,
Speaker 4: emotions appearing real. Some things are weird, but just see
Speaker 4: it from that higher perspective, because it's going to take
Speaker 4: you to a place where you want.
Speaker 3: To be, Lisa, is cosmic consciousness different from higher consciousness
Speaker 3: or is.
Speaker 2: It the same?
Speaker 4: I would say cosmic consciousness has to do with everything
Speaker 4: within our galaxy because cosmically we are part of this
Speaker 4: s galactic community. So the cosmic consciousness each planet, star,
Speaker 4: other life on other planetary systems, they all go with
Speaker 4: a vibration. And as we know, a lower vibration can
Speaker 4: entrain to a higher vibration. Don't you take a higher
Speaker 4: vibration and you try to bring it down. It's like
Speaker 4: turning the sound down on your favorite song. So it's
Speaker 4: about in training with the vibration in that sense, but
Speaker 4: higher consciousness. As an individual you start to do it
Speaker 4: and then collectively, you know, we all are in tune.
Speaker 2: Well, when you talk about vibration, what do you mean?
Speaker 4: Well, they'd ever walk into a room and people in
Speaker 4: there and just sense there's the one person you really
Speaker 4: don't want.
Speaker 2: To talk to, you know, and from them, yeah, and.
Speaker 4: You just get a vibe that you know, it's using
Speaker 4: our sense to know like what's good for us, what's
Speaker 4: good for our vibration? Well, it's best to stay away
Speaker 4: from that goes as far as even food some people
Speaker 4: don't like to eat meat anymore because they don't like
Speaker 4: that vibration. And maybe two years ago they wanted a
Speaker 4: good ribb, you know. But and you can just look
Speaker 4: at things that you're going to start to sense things differently,
Speaker 4: and it's going to be a whole different way of
Speaker 4: relating with people, places, things.
Speaker 2: What makes that happen, What makes.
Speaker 4: What that happened? There isn't any silver bullet for that.
Speaker 4: It's somebody has to be aware, like, you know, I'm
Speaker 4: ready for this. There are people who are into this,
Speaker 4: you know, it's all over the place now about I
Speaker 4: think this new set of the new kids coming in,
Speaker 4: they seem to be more on the spiritual vibe, the
Speaker 4: spiritual in the sense it's about vibration and late I
Speaker 4: feel the problem would be more with not the older ones.
Speaker 4: But I think there's this one little middle group in
Speaker 4: the middle that still don't want to give up just
Speaker 4: dealing with things in the material world. It's going to
Speaker 4: happen naturally. Evolution should be natural. There really should not
Speaker 4: be any type of interference. So everything every siege you
Speaker 4: plant doesn't loom on the same day. So you'll see
Speaker 4: gradually it's just going to be like that, Mandela Sect.
Speaker 3: One of your books that you wrote back some time ago,
Speaker 3: fifteen years ago is called The Street Smart Psychics Guide
Speaker 3: to Getting a Good Reading. Tell me about that.
Speaker 4: Okay, that was my first book, so probably was very
Speaker 4: autobiographical in a sense, because they always say your first
Speaker 4: book is. I had been doing readings for such a
Speaker 4: long time that I felt some people, really, you know,
Speaker 4: as much as like I did work for a nine
Speaker 4: hundred number for three months, I did see that it
Speaker 4: was becoming very very commercial, which was really for the
Speaker 4: people who really do it. It's not about that, you know,
Speaker 4: it's not a money mill. And a lot of people
Speaker 4: were doing readings that shouldn't have been doing readings, you know,
Speaker 4: they really weren't legit, and it kind of maybe it
Speaker 4: was made let's make let's thumb this down and make
Speaker 4: it look like it's a carniac because if people really
Speaker 4: knew what it's like to go for a proper reading,
Speaker 4: they would treat it the same way they would when
Speaker 4: they would go to a doctor for a consultation or
Speaker 4: some other.
Speaker 2: Professional sure, or a dentist or.
Speaker 4: Something exactly so. And I wrote the book because I
Speaker 4: wanted people to know like yeah, you can get your
Speaker 4: you know, hit of hopium for you know, ten seconds
Speaker 4: and hear what you want to hear. Or you could
Speaker 4: sit down really clear yourself, find out what it is
Speaker 4: that you need, like you know what you're looking for,
Speaker 4: because usually if people would really look, answers already inside them.
Speaker 4: It's like a labyrinths. You know, no matter who you
Speaker 4: go to, where you go, you have to come back
Speaker 4: to center because when you get somebody you're reading, you know,
Speaker 4: it's like walking on a minefield. Sometimes you'll touch on
Speaker 4: something that like, oh yeah, they found that out about me,
Speaker 4: and you know it's it's building a trust with who
Speaker 4: you go to. You don't have to jump from reader
Speaker 4: to reader. Some readers are great for some people and
Speaker 4: they're not good for others. It works if you have
Speaker 4: to make that connection, if you want a good reading.
Speaker 4: Once you make that connection, it's magic. It's really magic.
Speaker 4: It's not fortune telling it. It's beyond beyond it. Really,
Speaker 4: a good reader doesn't want you to be codependent. They
Speaker 4: want you to come to them, come a couple times.
Speaker 4: Next thing, you know, you get it. If they want
Speaker 4: to come back in the ear for checking, that's fine,
Speaker 4: but there's some readers out there that gave the really
Speaker 4: good ones a bad name, you know, with the hook,
Speaker 4: and they keep hooking you and hooking you and hooking you,
Speaker 4: and nothing ever happens.
Speaker 3: With Lisa Barretta. Her website is linked up at Coast
Speaker 3: to coastam dot com. Astrologically speaking, how does that work?
Speaker 3: How do the alignments of planets and star systems affect us?
Speaker 4: I love this because everything's up there for a reason,
Speaker 4: and everything up there gives off a vibration. And every
Speaker 4: vibration they give off, does you know, come into the
Speaker 4: earth stone and we feel these vibrations. And astrology has
Speaker 4: been around since the Sumerians. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 4: one of the fallen angels, or I should say one
Speaker 4: of the visitors came and they taught man astrology, taught
Speaker 4: them how to use it, to use it, to learn
Speaker 4: how to plant, to plan things, to know they used it.
Speaker 4: It's almost the hybrid of science and spirituality. And you know,
Speaker 4: if anything that has lasted this amount of time since
Speaker 4: the Samerians, I'm probably at the Atlantian side of Toude,
Speaker 4: but there aren't any records that we know of. I'm
Speaker 4: sure they used it that lasted this long has to
Speaker 4: have some type of credence to it. You know, the
Speaker 4: Greeks they used it. You need it to be an
Speaker 4: astrologer before you could practice medicine. But over the years
Speaker 4: they sort of became only for the very rich of
Speaker 4: the people who were worthy enough to have an astrologer.
Speaker 4: And then somehow it took a weird vibe and it
Speaker 4: became almost like the equivalent of a fortune cookie, because
Speaker 4: every time you open up your email, there's your astrology
Speaker 4: for the day, and it's always wonderful too. Because it
Speaker 4: was really bad, you're not going to read it anymore,
Speaker 4: you know, so it just made it look so.
Speaker 3: Commercial, Lisa, does astrology tell you things that will be
Speaker 3: or could be?
Speaker 4: Well, everything is potential energy. If I look at somebody's
Speaker 4: chart and I see an aspect coming up, I could
Speaker 4: say it looks like in around this time and this time.
Speaker 4: It's depending on what has position it's in and what
Speaker 4: sign they are. I can kind of give them an
Speaker 4: idea of what to expect, and then they go, which
Speaker 4: way is it going to go? It's like, well, I
Speaker 4: could advise you which one looks good, but at the
Speaker 4: end of the day, only you have to make the
Speaker 4: choice that's right for you. You want people to kind
Speaker 4: of be empowered with this information and let them start
Speaker 4: to go with all right, she told me this aspects
Speaker 4: coming up. I could have a financial issue I have
Speaker 4: to deal with.
Speaker 2: Well, we have free will, don't we exactly?
Speaker 4: Exactly? If we're like the ultimate GPS.
Speaker 3: You know, so you point things out like if you
Speaker 3: say things like be careful how you drive, you could
Speaker 3: get hit by a car. If you're more cautious, chances
Speaker 3: or you won't get hit.
Speaker 4: Exactly, or you know, that's a day that yes, I
Speaker 4: see a hard Mars aspect, it could be there. That's
Speaker 4: not the day you want to schedule any type of surgery.
Speaker 4: Or if you're just out, don't speak because Mars rules
Speaker 4: people in uniforms cops. Yeah, and then when you look
Speaker 4: at the whole chart, you get an idea of like, okay,
Speaker 4: just plug this in here there there, and you just
Speaker 4: make the connection.
