On this episode of Cosmic Cousins explore the invitation of this Pisces Full Moon through ritual, tarot and guided meditation.  Then,  enjoy insights on the current transits, including:  Juno in Pisces, Neptune in Pisces, and Jupiter Retrograde re-entering Pisces this November. 
And then.... y'all, I am really excited about this one!  On this week's podcast episode I had the incredible honor of gathering with Monique Ruffin, aka the Moon Mama.  Monique is a Virgo Sun with Pisces Rising and I am a such a big fan of their offerings.  The title of our conversation is "The Universe is Organized".  In this talk we explore the Virgo-Pisces polarity, the importance of daily ritual, Chiron as a co-ruler for Virgo, and much more!  Monique is so generous and passionate. For those of you who do not know her already, I can't wait for you to meet her. 
 
Announcements: This upcoming Wednesday I am leading a sacred ritual gathering with Ashley River here in Portland, Oregon. There are a few spots remaining for this healing day retreat.  Ashley is from out-of-town and brings with her such potent medicine for clearing and re-centering.  The Sun will be in Virgo and the Moon will be in Taurus on this day.  Come join us, as we gather together in community.
In addition, right now I have openings for both astrology or tarot readings.  I would love to connect with you in that way if you feel the call.  In the meantime, wishing you a happy Pisces Full Moon.

Happy Capricorn Solstice to you!  For those on the Northern Hemisphere, this is the shortest day of the year – a sacred invitation within.  For those on the Southern Hemisphere, this is the longest day of the year – a time of great illumination.  Either way, wherever you find yourself in the world, the Sun is conjunct the Galactic Center – the center of our Milky Way galaxy.  This is a potent time of the year to realign with your cosmic self, offering you wisdom for new beginnings.In honor of this special time of the year, Lindsay Mack and I gathered together at their home to record a special Year Ahead podcast episode for 2024.  In this podcast episode we reflect on this past year, 2023, as a 7 year – connected to both the Chariot (7) and the Tower (16 = 1 + 6 = 7); and anticipate the invitation of this new year, 2024, as an 8 year – connected to both Strength (8) and the Star (17 = 1 + 7 = 8). We then offer intuitive insight for the coming year, pulling 2 cards for the Collective, and 2 cards for each element: Fire signs, Earth signs, Air signs, and Water signs.  The decks we use are: Tarot of the Holy Spectrum and the Cosmic Cousins Astro Oracle.

Special Year Ahead Episode for 2024 w/ Lindsay Mack – Strength and the Star Tarot Year Cards

Sagittarius New Moon blessings. Now is a time to quiet and reflect on life through the lens of this Transpersonal Collective Fire Sign.
One way to do this is by connecting to Sagittarius’ esoteric ruling planet – the Earth. This is not to be confused with the element of Earth, but rather the Planet as a whole. This encourages us to ask...
how might we be of better service to our planet and her inhabitants?On this week's podcast episode, enjoy a new song by my friend Drew Daniels.  Located on the Big Island of Hawai'i, poetic punk folk reggae soul singer Drew Daniels shares his truth in his new single 'United States of Consciousness' exploring many Sagittarius themes: building bridges between religions of the world through fiery activism and the pursuit of a uniting Truth.  I hope it inspires you in that Sagittarius way.
 
In addition, on this weeks' podcast episode, in honor of the Sagittarius New Moon, we are joined in conversation with brilliant Sagittarius Rising Giulio Pellegrini – a Los Angeles-based astrologer specializing in esoteric, psychological, and evolutionary astrology.  A prominent lecturer, he’s presented at major conferences and academic institutions like the Northwest Astrological Conference.  In addition, Giulio is the Publications Director for OPA’s Evolving Astrologer Magazine.
IG – @ethericastrology
 
In our conversation we cover the following topics:
Esoteric, Psychological and Evolutionary Astrology
Sagittarius + Faith
The importance of Uranus for astrologers 
Sagittarius' Esoteric Ruling Planet – the Earth
The Square relationship between Sagittarius and Pisces
Pluto generations
Pluto entering Aquarius
and more!

Announcements + Workshops!
Hey New York City! I am coming to you.  Send me off to India and join me on December 27 in-person for a transformative Cancer Full Moon gathering at the beloved Maha Rose Brooklyn.
Tonight, December 12, I am leading an Astrocartography Workshop.  If you are unable to attend the Live Call, you can still purchase the recording of the workshop from now until the Capricorn New Moon (January 11, 2024)
I will be traveling to India in the new year for 3 months.  I will be immersing myself in the study of Ayurveda, and likely also learning a lot about Vedic Astrology in the process.  During this time, I plan to still release podcast episodes, although they may be released in a new rhythm.  I will keep you up-to-date as the process unfolds.
 While I am in India, I will still be working with clients and students one-on-one over Zoom. However, for now, I am only offering 60-minute Astrology Recordings, until I settle into my new home and routine.  If you book an astrology recording, you will be able to preemptively ask any questions you might have about your chart and transits.  If you have any logistical questions, reach out to me through email at:  jeff@brooklynfools.com
This past week my dear friend and somatic embodiment teacher Adriana Rizzolo visited me in Hawai'i (where I have been visiting the last 3 months).  We stayed busy recording a new 13-part Workshop Series on Black Moon Lilith – Unleash the Queer Witch in your Chart.  It will be released on the first full day of Aquarius season in 2024 in honor of Pluto entering Aquarius.  We will be releasing more information early next month on how to pre-enroll. Stay tuned!
