  • #32 - Scorpio

    Escorpio en español, the 8th sign of the zodiac is the topic of this episode.

    Intense, complex and knowing no depth too deep, we dive into those depths today, discussing:

    • what characteristics define Scorpio... and how our resident Scorpio sun, Maggie feels about the stereotypes
    • chart interpretation of a famous murderer
    • a Scorpionic herb...
    • some poetry from Meli!
    • Links...

      For our first year, each episode will follow the astrological calendar and focus on a different concept as our main theme.

      Our goal is for these themes to build on each other, creating a living library of astrological sparks or knowledge and curious confabulation about the celestial realm.

      We’ll weave in elements of personal evolution, herbalism, and a look at a chart that aligns with whatever topic we’re looking into that day.

    • #31 - Cardinal: The First Modality

      In the endless astrology topics that exist, today we dive into a new category: modalities!

      We intentionally saved this topic for now because we are in Libra season, one of the 4 Cardinal signs.

      In this episode, we talk about:

      • what modalities are, and what they represent
      • the characteristics of the Cardinal modality and how we use them when looking at charts
      • the review of multiple charts, including people and events
      • how Cardinal energies come thru us and we see them play out in our lives.
      • Now, check out your natal chart and see how much Cardinale energy you have and how you feel it shows up for you!

        • #30 - Asteroids, the Feminine Archetypes

          Did you know that out of the 10 planets typically used in astrology readings, only 2 are represented by female celestial bodies?!

          We owe it to a couple of amazing women who felt that was a bit out of balance, and started to work with certain asteroids to expand the feminine energies in our charts.

          In this episode, we had a blast diving into:

          • the history of the asteroids; when they were discovered, how many there are, etc…

          • the mythology of the most popular of the asteroids and what each of their stories and definitions are

          • on-the-fly interpretations of where each of those asteroids are in our charts; this was totally new to us, so it was really fun to consider how they show up for us

          • some entertaining, and possibly controversial, tangents?! lol

          • A couple of links, as promised:

            • Meli’s business astrology reading was with the lovely Sabrina Ourania << check out her offerings and let her know we sent ya!

            • Demetra George’s book Asteroid Goddesses: The Mythology, Psychology, and Astrology of the Re-Emerging Feminine

            • #29 - The 7th House

              We’re officially more than halfway thru the birth chart, y’all. What does that mean?!

              We’ve exited the realm of “me” and entered the world of “we.” We’re talkin’ relationships and all things to do with relating. 

              Traditionally known as the house of marriage and long-term partnerships, yes… but it’s deeper than that!

              Listen in to hear about:

              • …what’s deeper than marriage and long-term partnerships…

              • how 7th house placements can manifest IRL

              • an interesting event chart interpretation!

              • followed by some sweet dice roll interpretations

              • & whatever else we get into 🙂

                #28 - Libra

                Peace! Harmony! Equality! – Libra vibes. It’s the beginning of the fall season and the sign that kicks it into gear is represented by the Scales… by all things balance.

                Join us for today’s episode to hear about:

                • the significance of paradox, when talking about Libra

                • our Libra placements and how we feel about them

                • how we’ve finally arrived at Maggie’s quadrant of the chart and how excited she is about it. :)

                • a very-Libran peacemaker…

                • We love all the signs, but just like Libra loves love, we really truly love Libra, and hope you fall in love with her all the same, if you don’t already. <3--

                • #27 - Planetary Transits

                  While the planets move around in the sky, how do those motions affect us? Practically the affects show up in our every day lives, but we can always pinpoint some celestial energy bestowing its influence upon our lives...

                  In this episode, we nerd out on:

                  • "important" life transits (*think things like mid-life crises*)
                  • the ever-popular Saturn Return
                  • a ton of different transitory relationships and how they relate to moments in our lives
                  • how ridiculous we are sometimes... lots of laughter in this one. :)
                  • Hopefully, this conversation gives you some ideas of what kinds of transits to look for in your own charts, pro- or retro-actively!

                  • #26 - The House Systems

                    Join us for a bit of a weird one where we talk about house systems and how we feel about them (spoiler alert: it's somewhat conflicted!)

                    Ultimately, there's much to consider in the world of house systems, but we try to keep it as simple as possible, discussing:

                    • tropical vs sidereal timing in astrology
                    • the main differences between Placidus and Whole Sign, which is what we primarily use
                    • some of the back story of how the Placidus system came to be
                    • some considerations when choosing a house system
                    • and a fun astro dice game!

                          The 6th House was built at the cross-section of service, health, routine, and work...
