Skies and Currents

Welcome to the announcement phase of Pluto in Aquarius. I am excited to share this conversation with you and wade into this new territory together! This conversation looks ahead to the next 20 years, as well as covering the most immediate impact of the transit over the next month as Mercury, Mars, and Venus pay their respects to the newly ingressed planet. We didn’t get to revisiting the Pluto in Capricorn case studies, but I have decided to release those conversations as separate videos to our subscribers over the coming weeks for those of you interested in going full astrology nerd with me. If you’ve been thinking of joining as a subscriber, this is the time to do it. I will be offering special readings with discount codes to our subscribers each month, starting in February. With Love, Christina & Theresa

Dear Ones,

Pluto shifts into Aquarius in a few hours! This is a huge shift with implications for the next two decades, but before we jump into an analysis of what’s to come we wanted to look back at the 16-year transit of Pluto in Capricorn. This conversation is split into two parts. Enjoy Pt. 1, we will be recording Pt. 2 tomorrow.

A quick reminder that we will be hosting an open conversation on Pluto in Aquarius tomorrow at 5 PM PST. All our subscribers are invited and it’s a great opportunity to ask questions about how this transit will be hitting your chart and life personally over the next 20 years. I will send the Zoom link out in a separate chat thread to all our subscribers.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend as the new Aquarian shades of Pluto color the days and weeks to come.

With Love,

Christina & Theresa

Dear Friends,

Tess and I have a brief, lighthearted episode for you this week, following last week's extensive three-hour year-ahead forecast. This episode focuses on the week ahead, delving into the new moon in Capricorn, the third iteration of the Mercury Neptune square, and the personal and generational impacts of Pluto in Capricorn.

Thank you, as always, for listening. Substack subscribers are invited to join a live session at the end of this month on January 20th at 5pm PST. These sessions, hosted by Inner Currents, offer opportunities to ask questions about anything we discuss on the podcast, including how the astrological weather might personally impact you. This year, we'll be scheduling these live sessions to coincide with significant planetary transits, and we'll open or close the sessions with a group meditation to address the effects of those transits. If you'd like to attend the live session, here's the Zoom link.

For more information about Theresa’s work, along with a calendar of events and live meditations, click here. Theresa’s husband and partner at Inner Currents, Geoffrey Ulfa, has written an essay about the Dasavataras if you would like more information about the meditation series we discuss in the episode, it can be found here. My booking calendar for the upcoming year is now open. If anyone would like more information about my practice or would like to book a reading, you can find a link to my site here.

Theresa and I will continue to offer joint year-ahead readings through the end of January only. Those readings can be purchased here.

Big thanks to all of you who continue to listen and support this podcast project.

With love,

Christina & Theresa

Happy New Year!

It’s become a tradition for us to look at the trends of the coming year together. Because we’re covering a much larger length of time than usual, it’s much longer than our typical podcast. Next week we’ll resume looking more in-depth week by week. Thank you to all our listeners! May you all have a joyous year ahead!

With Love,

Christina & Theresa

Year Ahead Readings!

Christina & Theresa discuss the final weeks of December 2023, the role of Sagittarius as the myth-keeper, and how to approach our personal narratives functionally in life and the spiritual journey…

Hi Friends,

I've deleted and re-released this episode to correct an error on my part. The original episode briefly touched on the myth of Sati's self-immolation and the purportedly negative repercussions of its surface-level interpretation on Indian culture.

The story of Shiva and Sati’s marriage is a famous and deeply important Shaivite story—a story I cherish and have considered deeply as a person who loves Shiva and integrates Him into my daily spiritual practice. Yet, after recently listening to a Vedic astrology podcast discussing the myth, a contributor highlighted how she felt the story had contributed to violence against women in her culture and the society in which she was raised in India. Her words impacted me deeply and left me thinking of the story in a new light and considering the dangers of applying mythological stories to a relative context. However, since releasing this episode, I've learned that in the 1800s, British Colonists distorted the ancient and limited practice of 'Sati'—the immolation of widows upon their husbands' deaths. The British exaggerated its prevalence to propagate false narratives about violence in Indian religious practices in order to justify colonial rule and oppression. While I lack comprehensive knowledge of this issue, it's evident that I'm not qualified to discuss it in a public forum, so I’ve removed this segment from the episode because I would never want my words—now or in the future—to perpetuate harmful false narratives.

I owe an immeasurable debt to the vast wealth of the Vedic spiritual tradition—a tradition I profoundly love and revere, and I would never want to contribute to the perpetuation of any narrative that maligns the tradition and, even more importantly, the culture and people from which the tradition arises.

With love and heartfelt apologies,

Christina

Mercury stations retrograde today! We hope this episode can serve as a guide for navigating the season ahead. Tess and I also discuss some of our ideas about meditation and the dangers of detaching from our emotions during any spiritual practice or process.

We hope you enjoy it! with Love,

Christina & Theresa

Dear ones,

Welcome back to our latest episode! Theresa and I are feeling optimistic about this week. The benefits are creating a bright spot in an otherwise spotty holiday season. We hope everyone enjoys and takes full advantage of it. Alongside discussing the upcoming week's astrology, Tess and I delve into topics like religion, our perspectives on spiritual texts, and the recent astrologically timely death of Henry Kissinger. Please note there are a few audio issues in this episode; our apologies in advance. We're continually working to troubleshoot and enhance our tech skills for the show's improvement, but we hope you'll enjoy it nonetheless.

Theresa wanted to make a quick correction regarding something mentioned in this episode. The biblical scholar we referenced—Dan McClellan—doesn’t actually have an entire website dedicated to opposing him (at least, not that we could find). However, there are scattered efforts such as one-off articles, videos, subreddits, etc., aiming to debunk his scholarship.

Hi All,

Apologies for the delay in releasing this episode. (I had hoped to post much earlier this morning.) We're aiming for a weekly Tuesday release, hopefully in the A.M. (although no promises!).

This episode was recorded on Monday, November 27. In it, we discuss the upcoming week, explore the ongoing effects of the recent full moon in Gemini, and delve into themes for the rest of the year. Tess has prepared some amazing and thoughtful journal prompts, which I'll share in a separate post, likely tomorrow.

You can find more about our respective practices at www.skiesofgrace.com & www.innercurrents.com.

Happy last day of Scorpio season to you all. This is our take on the week ahead and a grumpy start to Sagittarius season. We wish you all the happiest Thanksgiving, despite Saturn’s best efforts to quiet our parties.

As always, you can find out more about our work on our respective websites: Inner Currents & Skies of Grace. If you are interested in purchasing a year-ahead reading, as a gift or for yourself, can do that here.

With love, Christina & Theresa

Thanks to everyone who's listened so far! Tess and I are truly grateful for the enthusiasm, feedback, and support. You all have exceeded our expectations, and we hope to provide the most helpful, insightful, and entertaining show we are capable of creating for our community. Please continue to share your feedback, ask questions, and send requests. Now that my travels have ended, we plan to record and release episodes weekly. Look out for an email blast shortly with more information about how to purchase the gift readings we discuss at the end of the episode.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

***Quick Correction regarding this episode: there are several times throughout the recording when I mistakenly refer to November 4th as Sunday. November 4th is Saturday. Saturn will station direct and Mercury will oppose Uranus on Saturday, November 4th.***
