July 18, 2023 Astrology Talk: Venus Retrograde Do’s And Don’ts - All You Need To Know: July 23 to August 23, 2023
We're slipping into retrograde season, an ideal time to stop, slow down the pace, work out what you're doing, where you're heading and why.
Love, money and beauty fall under Venus' domain and, in fire sign Leo, there's passion and fun to be had.
Yet, a retrograde planet means that things can be hidden from you so don't rush through life.
Will you be reviewing and reassessing your love life, a partnership, your expenses or what brings you pleasure?
Both the Full Moon on August 1st & the New Moon on August 16th feel celebratory but nothing is certain. Keep your eye on what's changing as events are moving fast.
It's an ideal month to dive deep into a project that inspires you. What will you create or bring into being? There's alchemy and magic afoot, especially on that potent New Moon.
Pay attention to the details, the practicalities but know that from July 23rd to September 15th, either Venus or Mercury are retrograde - therefore, be careful what you say Yes to and get ready to reorient your compass when necessary.
Grab yourself a cuppa, put your feet up and join us as we take a deep dive into the astrology of the month ahead.

July 08, 2023 Astrology Talk Investigate: Why Is Bastille Day The French National Holiday?
Astrology Talk are branching out and bringing you a new series of podcasts to run alongside our regular monthly astrology updates.

You may know us as Christina and Sally but we're turning detective. Kirkman & Rodenbeck will be using their astrological lens to investigate a new topic each month.

This month's investigation coincides with Bastille Day on July 14th. We take a look at the chart of the French Revolution and the storming of the Bastille which took place in 1789. We dive into the astrology to see what this can reveal about an important day that's still celebrated by the French.

* Once you've listened to the podcast, please be in touch to let us know what you would like us to investigate each month.

June 18, 2023 Astrology Talk: Pluto’s Wrath, A Fiery Solstice & More - June 21 to July 23, 2023
Pluto's return to earth sign Capricorn ruling governments and the establishment on June 11th coincided with a domino effect toppling leaders. We couldn't not talk about Boris, Trump, Berlusconi & Sun Cancer Nicola Sturgeon.

Sally & Christina talk about the enigmatic 'blind-spot' quincunx aspect - the things you didn't see coming. Listen in to find out where and how this might be relevant for you.

Yet, the month ahead holds promise - a fiery Solstice chart lining us up for three months of heat & happiness - hopefully not too much heat & fire! Leo season is kicking in early.

This is Cancer season too. Events around the Full Moon in Capricorn on July 3rd show where support and comfort can be found. Closer to the New Moon in Cancer on July 17th, that old devil Pluto is back revealing where endings may be necessary, before you can start over.

As astrology reminds us, it's often only when you're willing to let go and get rid of what's no longer needed in your life that you create space for new energy & excitement to flood in.

Grab yourself a cuppa, put up your feet & join us as we take a rousing trip into the month ahead.

May 18, 2023 Astrology Talk: It’s Gemini Season And There’s Lots To Debate - May 21 to June 21, 2023
The Sun's move into Gemini and Mars' move into Leo promises a lively start to the month ahead.
Some of you will be rushing around and talking at top speed, while others will be taking a steadier pace as big planet Jupiter plays a grounding role in earth sign Taurus. Yet, everyone is likely to be thrilled that eclipse season and Mercury retrograde is in the past.
The theme of endings remains, however, with Pluto's move back into Capricorn on June 11th and Saturn in Pisces taking on a more authoritative role throughout the month.
If Neptune in Pisces has brought us fake news and fantasy, what's Saturn's role in Pisces going to be?
Christina & Sally debate what this means for AI, social media and the role of the internet. What steps need to be put into place so truth and honesty prevail?
Join us as we look at the Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 4th, the New Moon in Gemini on June 18th and what this month's astrology means for you.

April 18, 2023 Astrology Talk: Eclipses, Mercury Retrograde & Much Much More - April 20 to May 21, 2023
There is so much happening in the coming month so please do listen into our Astrology Talk podcast for guidance. The astrology can help your navigational skills in knowing when to move forward and when to slow down and be patient.

For starters, there's a powerhouse Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse on April 20th starting a new Aries/Libra eclipse cycle that lasts until March 2025. This is both a symbol of endings and new beginnings.

Plus, the Taurus/Scorpio eclipse cycle is completing this year and there's a lively Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on May 5th. Eclipses tend to bring what's hidden to light and they often coincide with key turning points in life.

Here in the UK, the Coronation of King Charles III takes place on May 6th, the day after the Lunar Eclipse. If you haven't yet seen the invitation for the Coronation, do take a look. It's beautiful and a perfect symbol for Taurus season. There are interesting connotations to the date that's been chosen, including a nod to the Green Man.

And, if you're wondering why royal events often coincide with eclipses, this isn't unusual. Charles was born during a Taurus/Scorpio eclipse cycle and he's being crowned King on another one. It's auspicious timing as the Sun rules the King in astrology and the Moon rules the Queen and eclipses often coincide with the rise & fall of leaders.

Eclipses have a hidden theme as does Mercury retrograde, the communication planet. And, talk planet Mercury will be retrograde in earth sign Taurus from April 21st to May 15th, so it really is a time to stop, slow down and smell the flowers. Walk in nature, go on retreat.

Also this month, the best planet Jupiter moves into Taurus on May 16th, the day after Mercury turns direct in Taurus on May 15th. Jupiter will remain in Taurus for the next year. This is when new opportunities could abound and those seeds that have been sown can grow and flourish.

Finally, pay close attention to the money markets as the Taurus-Scorpio eclipse, Mercury retrograde and a powerful Jupiter-Pluto square on May 18th are all related to financial shifts.

February 18, 2023 Astrology Talk: Saturn Enters Pisces Making The Unreal Real - Feb 18 to March 20, 2023
Pisces Season
The theme of endings and new beginnings runs throughout the coming month of astrology.
The month begins with a glorious New Moon at 1° Pisces on February 20th, a time to dive deep into your emotions, to begin something pure and true.
Plus, a lovely Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Aries on March 2nd brings luck & good fortune for some star signs.

On the day of the Full Moon, March 7th, Saturn enters uncharted waters as the planet of solidity moves into the last star sign Pisces, God of the sea.
Will this require a sacrifice, some form of surrender? Will the unreal become real or will boundaries be dissolved?
Christina & Sally dive deep into the symbolic meaning of Saturn's move into Pisces where it will remain for the next couple of years.
Join us and listen in to find out what this means for you and how best to navigate your month ahead.

January 18, 2023 Astrology Talk: Harry The Spare & Bridging The Gap From Capricorn To Aquarius - Jan 20 to Feb 18, 2023
The first episode of the Astrology Talk Podcast in 2023 starts by looking back at the tricky month that's gone. A double whammy of Mars retrograde & Mercury retrograde floored many of us and it's a relief to be entering a new phase.

We check out Prince Harry's astrology on the publication of his book 'Spare' to reveal more about how the retrogrades can play out. And, to give you an insight into the importance of the timing of astrology and how profound it can be.

The Sun's move into Aquarius on January 20th is giving us a preview of Pluto's epic move from Capricorn to Aquarius in March 2023. What doors are closing, where are there new beginnings in your life?

An energised New Moon in Aquarius on January 21st is a fantastic way to enter a new Solar month. It's fizzing with dynamism and go-getting planetary vibes. Use it to set your intentions and get ahead.

Venus in Pisces from January 27th onwards lends a romantic vibe to the month, enhanced on February 15th when there's a gorgeous Venus-Neptune conjunction.

Before then, don't miss the unpredictable Full Moon in Leo square to innovative & erratic Uranus on February 5th. It's both exciting & crazy.

It's a lively month of astrology - I do hope you'll join us by listening in.
