This week opens in deep, emotional waters and gradually ignites into bold, initiatory fire. With a powerful blend of Pisces sensitivity and Aries activation, we are asked to surrender, listen, and then courageously act on what we feel.

Grief, intuition, and spiritual attunement weave through the early days, while the Aries New Moon later in the week brings a potent threshold moment, one that invites you to reclaim your voice, your identity, and your path forward.

Astrology of April 6 – April 12, 2026:  A Threshold Week of Fire & Release

This week Uranus shifts to the anoretic degree of Taurus, while Mars completes its time in Pisces. We are in a space of culmination, new insights and release.

This episode explores the tension between expansion and nourishment, individuality and collective transformation. Through intuitive reflection, somatic awareness, and planetary storytelling, you’re invited to move at your own pace while trusting that what is building now carries real momentum for what comes next.

Transits of the Week:

Moon Journeys:

Monday–Tuesday: Moon in Sagittarius – truth-seeking, belief systems, expansion, fire of vision

Wednesday–Thursday: Moon in Capricorn – structure, grounding, embodiment, responsibility

Friday–Sunday: Moon in Aquarius – collective awareness, innovation, relational shifts, nervous system sensitivity

The first part of this episode is a reflection on March 30 through April 5, 2026—a sacred window of time where the cosmos invites us into deep embodiment, relational awareness, and soulful recalibration. As we move through Aries season and toward the Libra Full Moon, this opening segment is meant to help you attune to the energetic landscape of the week ahead, grounding you in the planetary movements so you can consciously walk with them—rather than feel swept up by them. Think of it as a threshold moment: a chance to arrive, to listen, and to align your body, heart, and spirit with the rhythm of the sky. We cover:

Then, in honor of the Libra Full Moon, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by magical astrologer Celeste Brooks for a rich and multidimensional conversation that begins with personal myth-making and unfolds into a deep exploration of her chart. Through the lens of Celeste's Taurus Sun, Aries Moon, and Cancer Rising, we trace a story of embodiment, courage, and homecoming, woven with pivotal life transitions, including her shift from a 25-year corporate career into full-time astrology. Together, we explore timing techniques like progressions, the awakening influence of Uranus in Taurus, and the importance of structure in astrological practice, grounding intuitive insight with disciplined study.

From there, the conversation opens into the wider astrological landscape of 2026, reflecting on the collective impact of Neptune’s ingress into Aries, the Saturn–Neptune conjunction, and the North Node’s passage through Pisces. Jeff and Celeste weave together advanced techniques, discuss asteroids like Juno, Ceres, and White Moon Selena, and share intuitive practices like Libra Full Moon channeling and tarot symbolism. The episode moves between the cosmic and the personal, inviting you into themes of truth-telling, spiritual compassion, and collective healing, while emphasizing the importance of grounding rituals and tending to the body as we navigate a rapidly shifting world.

This episode also introduces new offerings from Cosmic Cousins, including the Cosmic Mix Tape—a personalized 60–90 minute audio astrology reading woven together with a curated soundtrack that reflects your birth chart and soul journey. These immersive readings can be created for your natal chart, solar return, or current transits, blending music and astrology into a deeply felt experience.

Alongside this, the podcast’s new weekly format offers a consistent space to stay in rhythm with the cosmos, supported by reflections, affirmations, and invitations to embody the astrology in your everyday life.

On this Pisces New Moon episode of Cosmic Cousins, we begin by arriving in the liminal space this lunation creates—a threshold between the dream that has carried us for over a decade and the new reality beginning to emerge. This is a moment to feel deeply, to notice the currents beneath the surface, and to honor both the surrender and the subtle stirrings of action that this closing cycle invites.

Then, Jeff Hinshaw  is joined by Pisces Moon artist Rochelle Voyles. Returning to the podcast for the first time since 2017,  we dive into Rochelle’s solo exhibition Unreliable Narrators that just opened at 81 Leonard Gallery in Tribeca. Through pieces like “Slithering Ruin” and “Defense and Entrapment,” we contemplate nonlinear time, archetypal storytelling, and the duality of distance, and how beauty invites us closer to truths that may otherwise feel unbearable. 

Music becomes a co-conspirator in this process, with two songs from Pisces Moon artists Anna Olivia Eve and Lindsey Mills guiding emotional resonance and collective reflection. We reimagine collage as a spiritual technology (one that mirrors astrology, tarot, and memory itself) where meaning is not prescribed but discovered through feeling.  In a closing “Mystical Meandering,” Rochelle journeys through a surreal Pisces Dreamscape, and receives a visit from a crab on the seashores, looks up through a telescope to cloudy skies, and receives ancestral guidance from the Six of Cups and an invocation of healing from past trauma.

We seal the episode with reflections on water as conduit, reminding us that to trust the dream, to honor the unseen, and to create from the depths is itself an act of healing, connection, and quiet revolution.

On this episode, Jeff Hinshaw guides you through a somatic meditation and energy update connected to the Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of 2026—a fated turning point unfolding over months, not just a single night. With the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo, a story that’s been developing for over the past decade begins to crest, inviting release, discernment, and a return to embodied, practical wisdom.

Then, Jeff is joined by Double Aquarius, Virgo Rising  Bee—The Zine Witch. Recorded amid a rare eclipse sequence linking Aquarius and Virgo by quincunx rather than polarity, they explore what it means to be cycle-enders. They reflect on collective PTSD, grief surfacing through clients and communities, and Virgo’s sacred task of digestion. Together tracing larger cycles—the 18.5-year eclipse rhythm and the 35-year Saturn–Neptune arc—as thresholds of generational review, asking how we tend the details of our healing while history turns.

We also dive into Internal Family Systems with Virgo's esoteric phrase “I am the mother and the child” as a guide. We re-frame astrology as a tool for re-parenting, especially for neurodivergent folks who learned to self-manage and mask in order to survive. In a playful Virgo improv, Virgo stays home to tend to the mundane, receives a protective ward at a threshold, and invokes ancestral courage through shufflemancy with Amy Winehouse—opening a dialogue on feminism, the meaning of the word “Virago,” and embodied service. We close our time pulling the “Fearless” card from the Wild Kuan Yin oracle, Bee offers a candle ritual for courage and protection, sealing the episode with a direct blessing to those stepping into autonomy, reminding us that devotion to healing, detail, and love is itself a revolutionary act.

On this episode, Jeff Hinshaw guides you through a somatic meditation and energy update connectd to the Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse (February 17, 2026), a powerful threshold moment inviting radical freedom, collective liberation, and visionary action.

As we stand between major shift, Neptune newly in Aries (since January 26), Saturn entering Aries on February 13, and their historic conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20, we’re asked to merge dream with discipline and take courageous steps toward a new 29-year cycle. With the North Node set to enter Aquarius in July and the Year of the Fire Horse igniting bold momentum, this eclipse offers a preview of emerging collective storylines around collaboration, mutual aid, and shared vision.

In addition, on this Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse episode, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by Chef Stephanie Shershow for a conversation on friendship, service, ritual, and soul evolution. We reflect on meeting in India in January 2024 as Pluto entered Aquarius, the karmic bond that formed between us, and the many initiations Stephanie has moved through since—losing her home in a hurricane, the passing of her father, relationship endings, and her cross-country move west. Through it all, she shares how decades of sobriety, Kundalini yoga, and daily spiritual practice have become a non-negotiable anchor. Together we explore the Aquarian archetype of the water bearer—the outsider who returns to nourish the collective—and how Stephanie embodies this through her Aquarius Sun, Taurus Moon, and Libra Rising: the friendly humanitarian in a field of rolling greens, ensuring the revolution is well fed.

Plus, we celebrate the launch of the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot at  Maha Rose in Brooklyn, New York on February 20 with special guest Lindsay Mack—a gathering aligned with this rare cosmic turning point.

This Capricorn New Moon episode marks the first lunation of 2026, inviting a collective pause for reflection, steadiness, and intentional rebuilding. Recorded in the early morning hours of January 18, the episode opens as a ritual space, slowing the breath, honoring embodied resilience, and contemplating the “bones” of our lives: the structures, commitments, and practices that have sustained us over the past decade. Through Capricorn’s themes of devotion, endurance, and legacy, the conversation weaves together astrology and tarot, including the Devil card’s sober invitation to examine where fear, survival strategies, or inherited systems still hold authority over us, and where greater spiritual authorship is being called forth.

The episode also offers a deep astrological lens on the rare and powerful Saturn–Neptune transition, as both planets prepare to leave Pisces and enter Aries, culminating in their once-every-36-years conjunction at 0° Aries on February 21, 2026. This threshold signals a profound reset of personal and collective structures, asking us to integrate spirituality with responsibility, vision with action. The New Moon reflection is grounded by an exploration of Capricorn’s sea-goat archetype, blending Saturnian discipline with Neptunian mysticism, and illustrated through the legacy of Alvin Ailey as an example of devotion turned into cultural architecture.

The episode concludes in an intimate, ritual-lit space devoted to the Capricorn New Moon and its invitation into devotion, discipline, and long-term vision. Jeff Hinshaw is joined by composer, musician, and dancer Evan Hart Marsh for a wide-ranging conversation at the crossroads of astrology, artistry, and collaboration. Evan shares his unconventional creative path, beginning in music and movement, coming to formal dance training later than most, and ultimately weaving composition, choreography, and collaboration into a singular artistic language rooted in deep listening and care.

The conversation expands into embodied listening, ritual, and mythic reflection, including a guided Mystic Meanderings journey with tarot, ancestry, and somatic imagination. Listeners are invited into Evan’s recent works: 

Alongside reflections on Capricorns Sade and Alvin Ailey, yoga, Ayurveda, and nature as sustaining forces, this episode closes with an invitation to honor one’s foundations, tend to creative and ancestral lineages, and practice embodied listening as a ritual of self-nurturance, especially under the quiet, powerful architecture of a Capricorn New Moon.

Jeff Hinshaw welcomes astrologer and author Lars Stars (Lars Mellis) into an intimate, at-home conversation recorded at Jeff’s home in Palm Springs while Lars’ visits from Los Angeles. The episode opens with a cozy, personal tone (dog underfoot, signed copies of Your Personal Horoscope 2026 freshly picked up from Barnes & Noble( and situates the discussion around reflection and nourishment. Lars shares his background as a certified professional astrologer deeply embedded in the LA astrology community, his Sagittarian-heavy chart, and the vision behind his new book: a month-by-month guide for 2026, complete with a unique totem archetype for each zodiac sign.

The conversation moves into a lively rapid-fire round (Lars is the new reigning champion of Cosmic Slip N Slide, answering 13 questions in 60 seconds) and then deepens into the major astrological themes of 2026, which Lars names in our conversation as “the year of confronting reality.” Key transits include the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries, Jupiter’s opposition to Pluto as it enters Leo, Uranus moving into Gemini, and a strong Aquarius–Leo axis emphasizing voice, power, and collective change. Jeff and Lars outline each sign’s 2026 totem—from Aquarius as the Spokesperson to Virgo as the Exorcist—framing the year as revolutionary, catalytic, and demanding honest self-reckoning. The episode closes with invitations to engage the book, reflect on personal totems, and stay connected through community, activism, and shared astrology as the new year unfolds.
