    Lady Gaga, née Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, burst onto the scene in 2008 and has completely revolutionized the face of pop music, fashion, and so much more ever since.

This is my favorite episode yet and I hope you enjoy!

  • 11: Deals with the Devil - Astrology of Kris Jenner & Kim Kardashian

    We’ve all heard some variation of “the devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder”. But what if I told you Kris Jenner may have made a deal with the actual devil? At least, that’s what I saw in her birth chart!

    In this episode, I dive into the birth charts and lives of Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian to share the cosmic success secrets of the KarJenner clan. I show you why you should never compare yourself to other people’s success, timelines, and stories because some of these people’s birth charts simply indicate some kind of cosmic malevolence. And that’s ok! I would rather have my soul and not be a billionaire. But man, is this an interesting case study! Tune in to see one of the most insane birth charts I’ve ever laid eyes on.


    Birth chart placements covered:

    29 degree Sun, Moon, rising, Venus, and IC/MC

    0 degree Chiron

    6th house Chiron

    1st house Neptune

    12th house Uranus

    Jupiter-Pluto conjunction

    Mercury-Neptune conjunction

    Jupiter-MC conjunction 

    Moon-IC conjunction 

    and more!

    The world would not be what it is today without the incredibly important contributions and influences of iconic divas. Today we monitor the ranks of pop culture and social media, asking the question: “who’s this diva?” But what even is a diva? What makes someone a diva? 

    In this episode, I dive into the birth charts of 13 of the most iconic divas of all time to see if I can find any threads that connect them. My sample includes Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Cher, Christina Aguilera, Diana Ross, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Meryl Streep, and Whitney Houston. And my findings are strong, and surprising - listen on to find out what makes a diva!

    I also do a brief introduction to the concepts of the vertex and the lot of fortune in astrology.

  • 09: She Is… Sasha Fierce - Astrology of Beyonce

    Coming off the high of attending the Cowboy Carter concert, this week I’m doing a deep dive into Beyonce’s birth chart. What makes a woman so perfect, talented, brilliant, and gorgeous? The work ethic of a Virgo Sun, the fierce determination of an Aries rising, and a LOT of Libra placements, it would appear!

  • 08: I’m The Problem, It’s Me - Astrology of Taylor Swift

    I’m a huge Swiftie, and whether you love her or not, Taylor’s name is the word on everyone’s red lips. Taylor’s birth chart is a gold mine of information about her true self, and how that self (the poet trapped inside the body of the finance guy, Tyler Swift, “The Man”) differs from the image she’s presented to us over her nearly two decade-long career.

    In this episode, we dive into Taylor Swift’s birth chart, her strong connection with Saturn, and her MANY Capricorn placements to uncover the woman behind the mask. 


    Birth chart placements covered:

    Sagittarius Sun

    Cancer Moon

    Capricorn rising, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

    Aquarius Venus

    Aquarius and 2nd house North Node

  • 07: Grift Like a Monk - Astrology of Jay Shetty

    If you listen to podcasts, you’ve definitely heard of Jay Shetty, the omnipresent monk turned celebrity spiritual guru with a soothing British accent and piercing blue eyes. But the author of “Think Like a Monk” and “8 Rules of Love” has been called out more and more often for inconsistencies in his backstory and for stealing content from other creators without permission.


    In this episode, we dive into Jay Shetty’s scandals over the years and his birth chart to answer the questions: Is it really thinking like a monk to buy an $8.4 million house in the Hollywood Hills and to officiate JLo and Ben Affleck’s wedding? What is a Chief Purpose Officer? How does one go from living in an ashram to being a management consultant for Accenture to being Will Smith’s personal spiritual advisor?


    Birth chart placements covered:

    Virgo Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars

    11th house Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars

    29 degree (anaretic) Jupiter

    Sun square Saturn

    Mars trine Neptune

    Neptune sextile Pluto

    Sun sextile Pluto

Today I’m breaking down the last decade+ of her scandals, and taking a look at her birth chart to understand where her propensity for doing and saying all the wrong things comes from.


    Katy has eight (8) (EIGHT) Scorpio placements, so this is an episode for everyone, but especially my Scorpio girlies who want a little more insight into why things are like that for you. I also talk about Lady Gaga’s Coachella performance and the Gaylor significations of her outfits! Ahh!!!
