Mars and Venus joined together on July 13th — a conjunction that occurs every two years or so (retrogrades depending). These planets represent the archetypes of the lovers, the chemical attraction between opposites, the alchemy of merging two distinct elements into a third. To honour this holy and sexy union, we recorded an episode on this conjunction and what it might mean for us.

In this episode, we explore the archetype and astrology of the cardinal water sign Cancer. We discuss the traits of Cancer as an archetype — from its emotional weather systems to its lunar (even umbilical) intuition, to that flinty shell that can be raised as a protective shield. As always with our episodes on the signs, we also talk about the general themes for Cancer season this year, including the upcoming lunations.

Thank you for listening! We would be ever so grateful if you shared this episode with a friend or on social media… and of course, hit subscribe and leave us a review!

In this episode, we discuss the cardinal fire sign of Aries with one of our fave Aries risings: Anya Kaats. 

Some questions we ponder: how do Aries folk experience fear?  How does Mars leave its imprint? What's the difference between being self-sustaining, or self-sovereign, and selfish? 

We also touch on the coming lunations, including the Libra full moon (opposite the Sun conjunct Venus and Chiron -- this one feels... tender. If also fiery and sharp-edged.) 

Anya hosts two podcasts: The Millennial's Guide to Saving the World and Whore Rapport. Check out her offerings here: http://anyakaats.com/

In this episode, we walk alongside those sky beings known as the Centaurs.

David Leskowitz offers centauric healing and attunement sessions, which introduce participants to the energy of four healing centaurs through sound, visualization and active imagination techniques. 

We discuss how Chariklo informed the year-if-not-decade-defining stellium in Capricorn last January, as well as how these asteroids can show up in your birth chart. We explore the question of healing, of "wounds", and how to incorporate these guides into your magic or meditative practice. We also look at how Chiron and Chariklo will figure in upcoming lunations.
