Jason Interviews Special Guest Pia Orleane, Ph.D. and Cullen Baird Smith about their new book, Pleiadian-Earth Energy Astrology.    The authors discuss how to navigate the spiral energy patterns of the Universe for spiritual advancement and conscious evolution.   They explain how the cycles of the 13 spirals of Universal energy and the 20 spirals of Earth energy interact on each calendar day as well as provides a Pleiadian perspective on how they influence us and the events in our lives.   This book Offers practical examples of how you can consciously use the energies prevalent on a given day to your personal, spiritual benefit  and Shares cosmic wisdom teachings from the Pleiadian group known as Laarkmaa.    Modern science has finally confirmed an essential component of the Pleiadian teachings: Our Universe is not linear; it moves in spirals.
