Scorpio Full Moon spotlight: Cassie, ChatGPT, and the Biden cover-up


Listen Later

Episode 20

In this podcast, professional astrologers Chani Nicholas, Thea Anderson, and Eliza Robertson look to the sky to make sense of what’s happening here on Earth.

This episode brings you into the astrological group chat to talk through how the Full Moon in Scorpio, the Uranus cazimi, and Jupiter’s square to the lunar nodes have manifested IRL. We get into everything from the Democratic cover-up of Joe Biden’s decline to the start of the Diddy trial, the fire at a 166-year-old plantation, and the selection of the new Pope — then we break down how these key astrological events have shown up in the collective. We also look ahead to Saturn’s shift into Aries and unpack what that transit means for anyone entering a Saturn return, or any other significant Saturn transit. We rant. We reflect. We keep it real. There’s a lot to get to, so let’s get going.
