Skies and Currents

Hello from Kansas!

Theresa and I are together, enjoying our tradition of visiting one another in person at the New Year. Last night, we recorded the Year Ahead Forecast, which has been our tradition since 2021 (and was, in fact, the inception of the podcast itself!).

In this forecast, we break down the main themes of the upcoming year and offer a brief summary for each month. We hope this overview is helpful and grounding.

While 2025 will almost certainly bring changes we cannot imagine, Theresa and I both feel hopeful that these powerful winds will sweep many positive opportunities for growth, happiness, community engagement, and personal development into our lives. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them in the comments, and we will do our best to answer them in the next podcast. Many of us may experience the first couple of months of 2025 as the most challenging period of the year, so remember to look ahead with hope for late spring and summer and hold each other with loving kindness as we move through these months.

This is a long episode; in the first 25 minutes, we discuss the significant themes around Saturn’s transit and the outer planets changing signs. If you want to jump ahead to the month-by-month forecast, that begins around 27 minutes.

Our next live session will be held on the Cancer Full Moon on January 13, 2025, at 5 PM PST. Our live sessions are conducted on Zoom, and all are welcome. If you need extra support or have any questions about anything we discuss on the podcast, we would love to see you there. Additionally, we always record a video of the Year Ahead Forecast for the Inner Currents website, so if you prefer to watch the video, you can find it here.

With love,

Christina & Theresa

Mercury has stationed direct—thank god—because his retrograde was not easy on our podcast. Between Tess falling ill and a series of technological mishaps, we’ve been off the air for a few weeks. Unfortunately, Mercury’s hijinks aren’t quite resolved yet. We had a problem with this recording that forced me to use the backup audio, so there’s a bit of fuzz in the background. Hopefully, everything will be back to our normal standards and schedule next week.

Wishing a very Merry Christmas, to all who celebrate, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year! Tess and I will be recording our 2026 year-ahead podcast soon, so look out for that around the new year.

I am offering a 10% discount on all gift readings until Christmas day. These can be purchased here: https://www.skiesofgrace.com/services. You will receive a gift certificate that you can print for a card or forward via email to your gift recipient.

If you’re interested in Theresa’s re-parenting practice, be sure to join the free orientation Zoom on 12/30 at 6 PM. Read more about it here.

Paid subscribers, look out for a gift in your inboxes from me and Theresa over the next couple of days. We are so appreciative of your support for our work and look forward to continuing to grow in community over the next year.

with love,

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone had an enjoyable and peaceful holiday week.

I’m getting the podcast out a little later than I’d hoped. We recorded the episode on Monday, Nov. 25, the evening of Mercury’s retrograde station. But luckily, most of what we discussed pertains to the astrology of next week, beginning with the new moon in Sagittarius tomorrow morning, Sunday, Dec. 1.

The first week of December is deep and tense. The Sun and Mercury form a sign-based T-square with Jupiter and Saturn, just as Mars slows to a frustrating halt in Leo and begins his long-anticipated retrograde. Try to move slowly and carefully in the weeks to come; details are prone to slip through the cracks as we lock into what may feel like unresolvable conflicts within and outside of ourselves. Mercury’s cazimi on Thursday offers a moment of inspiration, pointing to the deeper why behind our efforts. Try to listen and hold on to this message as Mars fuels our frustration with a barrage of unconquerable seeming obstacles. This is a season for slow, deliberate actions and setting our sights on long-term goals and foundations. Despite what Mars may feel about his current predicament, all is not futile, and we will reap the benefits of what we sow—just not until later.

If you’d like to look at the upcoming year with us, Theresa and I still have slots available for our 2025 year-ahead readings. Book here. We are offering our paid subscribers a 10% discount on this reading, so if that’s you, use the code MerryMerry at check-out to access this discount.

At the end of this episode, we discuss the reparenting Sadhana that Tess will be leading for all of 2025. This is an entirely free/donation-based offering. If you’d like to sign up, email Theresa to get on the list: [email protected].

Read more about the 2025 reparenting Sadhana.

Look out for a missive from me soon with live dates and offerings for December.

With love,

Tomorrow, Nov 15th, Theresa and I will hold a live session on Zoom at 4 p.m.

All are welcome.

Please consider this a safe space to ask questions, process feelings, and receive support as we navigate these unsettling times.

The Moon has just moved into Taurus, and the Full Moon will occur tomorrow midday. This lunation has a disruptive feeling, conjoining Uranus, which brings the potential for surprises. It may also describe the general atmosphere: a shaking of foundations and an underlying uncertainty about what lies ahead. Uranus loves to surprise, disrupt, and break free, but like all the planetary intelligences, its allegiances are neutral, offering energy for anyone to embody according to their nature. Saturn stations direct tomorrow in Pisces, so expect what Uranus unmoors to slip into murky, unnavigable waters.

I hope this episode is helpful.

As always, we're here if you have any questions, and I hope to see some of you at the live session tomorrow.

We’re back! Tomorrow morning is the long-awaited Mars-Pluto opposition. We’ve been feeling the build-up to this aspect for many weeks, so if this weekend feels incredibly heavy or charged, give yourself tons of grace and know that the skies are adding significant pressure to the collective psyche.

This is a short episode, and I apologize for not managing to post it sooner; it was an unusually busy week for me.

This episode focuses primarily on the Mars-Pluto opposition, as well as the upcoming retrograde station of Mars, and how both aspects may color our experiences of the upcoming election and the post-election sociopolitical landscape here in the United States. We will be back next week with a comprehensive November astrology update!

Wishing you all as much peace as possible over this weekend and the potentially tumultuous days to come. Sunday is a dramatic day for Mars and Pluto, but there is also a Venus-Jupiter opposition across the Gemini-Sagittarius axis, so for all our mutable sign beloveds out there, take some time to soak in whatever sweetness these two have in store for you amid the Mars-Pluto tension.

A reminder that Theresa and I are offering year-ahead readings for 2025. They are available to book November through January for a limited number of spots. All the information can be found here.

If you are interested in checking out the writer we spoke about at the end of the podcast, her name is Stephanie Harrison, and her book is called New Happy. More information here.

with Love, Christina & Theresa

Starting off with an apology because I was hoping to get this episode out to everyone over the weekend! We spend a considerable amount of time talking about Thursday’s disruptive full moon in Aries, and I believe we are already feeling the build-up to that lunation. The moon has just moved into Aries as I’ve been writing these episode notes, so we are off to the races. Take special care of yourselves tomorrow and Thursday. Offer yourself tons of love and patience. Do what you can to calm the nervous system and buffer your reactions to yourself and others with grace.

At the end of this episode, Theresa announces a group sadhana and healing practice that she will be offering through Inner Currents next year aimed at healing wounds and traumas incurred in the first year of life. I am really excited about this offering, and we will be providing more information as we get closer. But if anyone is already exploring healing work around reparenting, this is an amazing and free offering to support those efforts and can easily complement existing work without adding too much additional stress or commitment. We are encouraging anyone interested in this to check it out and sign up.

Theresa and I will be offering joint year-ahead readings again for 2025. These were super fun last year, and we are excited to be offering them again. We will be booking readings from November 2024 to January 2025, and they will be available to purchase through my website by the end of this week. Look out for an email soon with the booking information.

Lastly, we have to take a two-week hiatus from the podcast as Theresa is traveling with her family and I will be helping care for my parents as my dad recovers from surgery.

Wishing you all a peaceful October, and we will get a new episode out sometime around Halloween.

Much love to you all,

Christina & Theresa

We are back with a new episode, and I’m happy to report that I think we’re heading into a relatively bright week. The second week of October feels like a hopeful reminder of our big-picture plans and an opportunity to receive a bit of nurturance from the great benefic as he stations retrograde.

In this episode, we outline the week ahead and project into some of the more challenging aspects of the upcoming fall and winter. We discuss the ongoing opposition between Mars and Pluto, which is baked into the DNA of this Mars retrograde cycle. Theresa and I both feel this configuration is worthy of our continued attention and may be an area where offering extra support could be beneficial. As a result, we’ve both decided to offer special readings for the Mars-Pluto oppositions.

Mars and Pluto will make a series of oppositions over the next 6 months, likely casting a wide net of transformative demands on our lives. I expect this energy to feel quite dominant throughout much of November and December and even linger into the first four months of 2025. If you’d like more information about how this ongoing Mars-Pluto dynamic might impact your life, along with some ideas on how to prepare for and work with the transit, I’m offering a special discounted reading on the subject. Theresa will also be available at an extremely reduced rate for further counseling, with tangible ideas on meeting this energy as an opportunity for growth and healing.

You can book a reading with me here: Mars+Pluto Reading

The cost will be $65 for 30 minutes (or $40 for paid subscribers, DM me for a discount code).

An additional session with Tess will cost $44 and can be arranged with her directly via email: [email protected]

Our live session for October will be held at the end of the month to accommodate Theresa’s travel schedule. We will get together on Monday, October 28th at 4:30pm PST. All are welcome. The session will be held on ZOOM.

With Love,

Christina & Theresa

Look out for an email from me this week with October updates, including live session dates and reading discount codes for paid subscribers.

Wishing everyone a restful week. Take extra care of yourselves as the eclipse passes over.

This week marks the first anniversary of the Skies & Currents podcast!

I’m astounded that an entire year has passed, and I am profoundly and sincerely grateful for the personal growth and opportunity this podcast has brought into my life. Sincerest thank you to every one of you who has listened and supported us along the way. Theresa and I never imagined we could grow and sustain this audience and community as quickly as we have, and we feel blessed to share our work with you.

In a beautiful moment of synchronicity, it just so happens that our one-year anniversary coincides with the release of a gorgeous new introduction to the podcast. We are incredibly grateful to Warpaint for allowing us to use their music in the show. Extra special thanks to Emily Kokal and Theresa Wayman for their friendship and long-time support of my astrology practice. They are among an early group of supporters whose encouragement and enthusiasm for my gifts gave me the courage to pursue astrology as a vocation, and it’s incredibly meaningful that we have the opportunity to thread their art into the fabric of our show. Thank you also to Jennylee Lindberg, Stella Mozgawa, Mia Kirby, and Cedric Lemoyne for making this happen.

Thank you also to our dear friend and editor extraordinaire, Kevin Klauber, for editing it together for us.

In the episode, we chat about the new eclipse series that opens with the lunar eclipse in Pisces this Tuesday, September 17th. We talk about what might be opening up for us in the Pisces-Virgo axis of our charts over the next 18 months, as well as tips for taking extra care of yourself through the double whammy of eclipse season conspiring with Mars in Cancer at the beginning of his retrograde cycle.
