In episode 354 astrologers Chris Brennan, Austin Coppock, and special guest co-host Catherine Urban look ahead at the astrology of June 2022.
The astrological forecast for June begins with Mercury coming out of its retrograde and stationing direct in Taurus, while squaring a stationary Saturn in Aquarius.
Later in the month there is a Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 14, and a New Moon in Cancer on June 28.
Mid-month, the mood shifts after Mercury’s return to Gemini, when we get four planets in their own domiciles: Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Saturn.
We open the episode by talking about the recent eclipses and other world events, and then transition into talking about the forecast for June.

In episode 450 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock discuss the June 2024 astrology forecast, covering major transits like a stellium of planets moving through Gemini, Jupiter trine Pluto, Venus cazimi, Mars square Pluto, and Saturn stationing with Neptune.
In June a stellium of 4 planets transit through Gemini in the first half of the month, and Jupiter trines Pluto in Aquarius, which should expand and accelerate technological developments related to communications, artificial intelligence, and travel.
Venus plunges into the heart of the Sun around the same time early in the month, which marks the end of one synodic cycle for Venus and the beginning of another, marking a new epoch for relationships, equality, and the position of women in society in general.
Mars moves into Taurus mid-month, where it immediately forms a tense square with Pluto in Aquarius, raising issues related to the use and abuse of power, going overboard to achieve one’s ends, and dealing with dangers.
Late in the month Saturn slows down and stations retrograde in Pisces while conjoining Neptune, which will on the one hand in Pisces intensify ongoing themes surrounding dangers and fears that arise in connection with water, while with Neptune we will an intensification of the blurring between what is real versus what is not and the struggle to distinguish between the two.
The lunations this month are a new Moon in Gemini on June 6, followed by a full Moon in Capricorn on June 21.

Astrology Forecast for June 2024


Penelope Sitter joins the show to talk about the life and work of the 17th century astrologer Jean-Baptiste Morin de Villefranche, and her new translation of his work.
Morin was an astrologer from France who lived around the same time as William Lilly, and he wrote a massive tome on astrology titled Astrologia Gallica, which means French Astrology.
Penelope just translated book 21 of Morin’s work from Latin, which is the most important book of Astrologia Gallica, where he outlines his unique approach to chart synthesis.
Penelope became so excited about Morin’s work after being exposed to it in the 2000’s through the work of Robert Corre that she actually learned Latin specifically in order to translate Morin’s text.
During the course of the episode we talk about Morin’s life and work, and then we also get into his techniques and discuss what makes his approach interesting and different when compared to some of his contemporaries.
Along the way we talk about his birth chart and personality, and use his chart a few times to demonstrate his technical approach, which he does several times in his work.
It ended up being a fascinating discussion, introducing an important but often overlooked astrologer who was the last great court astrologer in France before the decline of astrology in the 17th century.

How to Give an Astrological Consultation


In episode 447 historians Patrick Curry and Nicholas Campion join me to discuss the recent republication of Patrick’s groundbreaking book Prophecy and Power: Astrology in Early Modern England, which documents the rise and fall of astrology in the 17th century.
Originally published in 1989, the book offers a detailed analysis of the role and perception of astrology in 17th-century England, a period that saw both the peak and the subsequent decline of astrology in the public sphere.
Patrick shares insights from his PhD research at University College London, which formed the basis of his book. He discussed the socio-political dynamics of the era, particularly how the English Civil War influenced astrological practices and the lives of astrologers like William Lilly.
Nicholas Campion, known for his comprehensive two-volume “A History of Western Astrology,” contributed to the conversation by discussing the academic and historical context in which Patrick’s book was first published and its impact on the field.
We also delved into the broader implications of the historical treatment of astrology, discussing how historical narratives have shifted from outright dismissal of astrology to a more nuanced understanding of its role in historical contexts.
Both Patrick and Nick emphasize the importance of viewing astrology through the lens of the cultural and political milieu of its time, rather than simply through modern scientific critiques.
The episode also touches on the challenges faced by astrologers during politically turbulent times, and how part of what contributed to the decline of astrology in the 17th century was that it became associated with political views that fell out of favor.
Patrick’s book was recently republished by the Sophia Centre Press, and you can order it here:

Prophecy and Power, with Patrick Curry and Nicholas Campion


In episode 446 astrologers Chris Brennan and Diana Rose Harper look ahead at the astrology forecast for May 2024, which features notable alignments of planets moving into Taurus and Gemini!
The astrology of May features a stellium of planets of planets moving through the sign of Taurus, which will emphasize the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in that sign further, and then later in the month the stellium shifts to the sign of Gemini.
The biggest change this month is that Jupiter completes its one year transit through the sign of Taurus, and it moves into the zodiac sign of Gemini where it will stay for the next year.
In the first hour and a half of the show we do a recap of a bunch of major news stories that happened under specific astrological alignments over the past month, and then in the second half of the episode we dive in to the astrology of May.
