Conversations with the Planets episodes

  • Degree Theory in Astrology

    Understanding the nuance of each degree in the Zodiac can provide insight when looking at the condition of a planet. This episode goes into why knowing the degrees of your planets and angles improves your astrological analysis.

    In this podcast episode, astrologers Lori Kaufman @lorik_127 and Alicia Cielle Heiser @aliciacielle discuss anaretic degrees, exaltation degrees and how degrees play into transit theory. This is a simple and powerful technique to gain more clarity around how an astrological chart functions.

  • Essential Dignity 6: Egyptian Bounds or Terms

    Having a planet in their own bounds can be a secret superpower that greatly strengthens the planet’s ability to bring about positive significations in your life. Like being a teacher in a classroom, a planet’s bound lord sets the terms and rules for the conditions under which the planet can operate. 

    In this podcast episode, astrologers Alicia Cielle Heiser and Lori Kaufman discuss the significance of assessing the bound rulers of each planet in your chart for a full understanding of the nuanced environment in which your natal planets function.

  • Essential Dignity 5: Triplicity and Community Support

    Just as our lives are nuanced, the condition of each planet in our chart requires the consideration of multiple factors. When a planet has triplicity strength, it is stronger and more capable of bringing about positive significations for the life of an individual. Tangibly, this can show up as community support in relation to the topics the planet is in charge of in your chart. 

    In this podcast episode, astrologers Alicia Cielle Heiser and Lori Kaufman explain how to determine a planet’s triplicity strength and what that means when interpreting an astrological birth chart.

    This episode builds off of material we discuss in our episode about sect. If you are unfamiliar with sect doctrine, we highly recommend you start with our episode “14. A Simple, Potent and Ancient Technique - Sect in Astrology” before digging into this triplicity episode.

    TRIPLICITY LORDS BY ELEMENT:

    • AIR - Saturn (day charts); Mercury (night charts); Jupiter (cooperating)
    • FIRE - Sun (day charts); Jupiter (night charts); Saturn (cooperating)
    • EARTH - Venus (day charts); Moon (night charts); Mars (cooperating)
    • WATER - Venus (day charts); Mars (night charts); Moon (cooperating)

  • Essential Dignity 4: Planets in Fall

    When a planet is in fall, it is in the sign opposite of its place of exaltation and can struggle with reputation and visibility. It is in an environment contrary to its essential nature and often can act in ways different than what society expects. This can bring difficulties for someone’s life, but there are also benefits with having a planet that doesn’t express themself the way society expects them to.

    In this podcast episode, our good friend Hannah Piper Burns joins Lori Kaufman and Alicia Cielle Heiser again to continue our discussion of essential dignity. We talk about the nuance of having a planet in fall and go through the 7 traditional planets and how they show up in their fallen archetypes. 

    PLACES OF PLANETARY FALL:

    • Saturn is in fall in Aries
    • Jupiter is in fall in Capricorn
    • Mars is in fall in Cancer
    • The Sun is in fall in Libra
    • Venus is in fall in Virgo
    • Mercury is in fall in Pisces
    • The Moon is in fall in Scorpio

  • Asteroid Stories - Okyrhoe

    In this episode, we discuss the mythology and astronomy of Okyrhoe, the daughter of Chiron and Chariklo. A literal centaur in astronomy, those who have the asteroid Okyrhoe placed prominently in their birth chart may live out her mythology throughout the course of their life. Okyrhoe can speak to prophetic abilities and the consequences of fate. She is a lesser-known mythic being who is important in many myths, including those of Chiron and Asclepius.

    This episode builds on material we discussed in our ⁠⁠Asteroids 101 episode⁠⁠ and is part of a series of asteroid stories episodes. Please also check out our episode about Okyrhoe's mother, Chariklo.
