On this weeks' episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw first guides you through a deep dive exploration of the current transits connected to this Gemini Full Moon. 

Then, Jeff is joined by one of his cosmic siblings, the incredibly talented Gemini, Mary Evans of Spirit Speak. Together, they flutter into the mutable magic of Gemini through storytelling, curiosity, and duality. Mary and Jeff explore Gemini archetypes across astrology, popular culture, and personal experience, including butterfly symbolism inspired by Dolly Parton’s “Love Is Like a Butterfly.” The conversation also delves into personal and spiritual experiences, from Mary’s childhood encounters with death and spirit guides to reflections on how these formative experiences shape creativity, art-making, deck creation, and teaching.

Mary is the founder of Spirit Speak Tarot, and the creator of six tarot and oracle decks, so naturally the conversation also explores tarot and divination.  This includes Temperance and the Lovers, reflecting Gemini’s adaptability, duality, and relational dynamics. She also discusses her work with children and adults through school programs, art workshops, and community-based “Witch Craft" arts and crafts nights, highlighting the spiritual and creative development fostered through art.

And towards the end of their conversation, we listen to the song "Oh My God" by Gemini Ryan Allen Gray’s, providing a lens on Gemini themes of queerness, religious trauma and integration of self. Listener questions spark final discussions on fashion as archetypal expression, navigating 2025 as a Hermit Year, and twin/soul-sibling dynamics.

On this week’s episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by Rebecca Scolnick, writer, witch, numerologist, and author of The Witch’s Book of Numbers. Together, we dive into the Libra New Moon at 28°, exploring the healing intersection of astrology, numerology, and personal myth.

Rebecca shares how her relationship with numbers began as a form of reclamation, transforming math anxiety into a practice of meaning-making, and how her recent healing journey through cancer has unfolded in rhythm with Jupiter’s transit through Cancer. We explore the Sabian symbol for this New Moon, “Handing down wisdom from generation to generation,” as an invitation to bridge knowledge and lived experience, weaving ancient insight into modern healing.

If you’ve been feeling the call to restore balance, listen deeply, and find beauty in transition, this Libra New Moon conversation offers emotional medicine and actionable ritual for the weeks ahead. Tune in for reflections on synchronicity, name magic, and New Moon wishes for inspiration to honor your own cycles of renewal. Big love!
