  • full moon in taurus 🌾 🐂 greener pastures
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit starquality.substack.com

    ~ We need this full moon so bad you guys ~ This Full Moon is happening at 24° of Taurus on November 15, 2024, at 1:28 PM PT.

    This Full Moon is by no means subtle. Uranus, the planet of shaking things up, is co-present with the Moon, rattling our feelings. Taurus is typically a seeker of safety but this Full Moon is delivering a firm kick in the ass out of the comfort zone! The outer planets are giving confirmation to overdue change, both personally and societally. This reference comes up a lot in this episode: you don’t want to be the coal miner sitting and waiting for the coal to come back. It’s not coming back. What are you gonna do to pivot and survive? With the goal being to thrive.

    Also discussed: Algol, seeking greener pastures is not the same as grass is greener, breaking away from familial expectations.

  • new moon in scorpio 🦂 growth looks good on you
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit starquality.substack.com

    It’s our first New Moon post eclipses! Make it count.

    The Scorpio New Moon is exact at 9° of Scorpio on Friday, November 1, 2024 at 5:47 AM PT.

    Scorpio energy is here to challenge you to look at things that are hard to look at. Saturn is giving support to the luminaries so we are unlocking a new level of emotional maturity that some people in our orbit might not be a fan of.

    Lots of fire + water in the sky = steam. Where do you need to let some out? This New Moon has us examining what’s worth fighting for.

    Plus: I report live from bed post-Dodgers World Series parade and talk about how Venus in Sagittarius Opposite Jupiter in Gemini has me in 365 partygirl mode.

  • full moon in aries 🎭 participate in your own life, bitch <3
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit starquality.substack.com

    It's the Full Moon in Aries! The Full Moon took place in the wee hours of the morning on 10/17/24 at 4:26 AM PT! The first half of the ep is free but consider 🔓 unlocking that paywall 🔓 cuz I cried about the death of my cat while also yelling at you to participate in your own life, bitch <3

    tw: pet loss, grief, etc

    The Grand Cardinal Cross (Sun Libra, Moon Aries, Mars Cancer, Pluto Capricorn) is challenging us to not sit on the sidelines. Sometimes we have to do hard things! The symbiosis mutual reception of the Aries Full Moon and Mars in Cancer is giving each planet a dose of its own superpower. Imposter syndrome levels are high with Moon Conjunct Chiron in Aries. Changes that feel like moving backward will actually be the stepping stones to a new future. Plus: squirrel symbolism and the lessons from the Beachcomber oracle card. Only keep what you love, don’t settle for less. And the Full Moon is a reminder that people who make you feel like shit don’t deserve your kindness. :)

    Also mentioned my Rosie tribute and the signs from the universe Rosie already started to show: https://www.instagram.com/p/DBME0z5PSoK/

    Read the article from June that I mentioned here: https://starquality.substack.com/p/windows-closed-navigating-summertime

    This Full Moon post is dedicated to Rosie, my beloved cat. Forever here in spirit.

  • libra new moon solar eclipse 🝞 giving depth to cultural flattening
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit starquality.substack.com

    The second eclipse of the season is here! The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra took place 10/02/24 at 11:49 AM PT!

    Audio only today because I got eclipsed myself so you may wanna consider 🔓 unlocking that paywall 🔓 cuz I am going EMOTIONAL RANT MODE!!!! :)

    It’s our last eclipse in this series in the sign of Libra and it’s time to kill the imaginary conversations we have in our head with others. Leaning into the Aries action of it all, this eclipse may expose the people in your life who use all the right words (cough therapy speak cough thoughts and prayers) but do all the wrong actions. You are over their shit. Show don’t tell! Mercury in Libra is present as hell in this eclipse chart, and our words matter! Friendship is particularly highlighted especially our 1-1 connections that may be getting lost in the group energy. Clarify, solidify.

    Also discussed: there’s no more annoying of a phrase than ~i didn’t mean to offend you~ group chats release, reflections on the end game of it all, and the grand water trine encourages raw, messy, honesty! Internet, sharing, copy/pasting style + cultural flattening. Plus listener-submitted questions about the eclipse, Lana’s wedding, and eclipse weddings in general!

  • pisces full moon lunar eclipse ♓︎ waves of change

    Eclipse season is here and it starts tonight with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces happening on 09/17/24 at 7:34PM PT!

    Eclipse week special! this post is 🔓 unlocked for all 🔓 so let’s reflect on what the beginning of a new eclipse series might mean! This eclipse is kicking off the Virgo-Pisces axis eclipses that we will be experiencing until February 2027. The kite shape in the eclipse chart is asking us to elevate our dreams. If our kite is dragging on the ground we need to find the gusto to get it back in the sky! The strong influence from Pluto and Uranus reminds us that it takes one person to break a pattern…even if that pattern is with ourselves. The Neptune ~ Moon conjunction of it all has us craving big, big love. <3

    “Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”―Anais Nin

  • venus things ♀ august recap: juicy, sexy advice qs
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit starquality.substack.com

    it’s time for ♀ VENUS THINGS ♀ ~ august recap!

    ♀ VENUS THINGS ♀ is a series about all the things I enjoyed and experienced the past month. Venus is our planet that encapsulates what we appreciate. This podcast is the vessel to express delight.

    In this episode, I ANSWER YOUR ADVICE QUESTIONS! Paid supporters get to write in their advice + astrology questions so up top I get into your listener Qs.

    The first question asks if there’s something in your natal chart that can cause you to be “the other woman”, submitted by a Libra Sun - Cancer Moon - Aquarius Rising. I dig into how that Cancer Moon can have some men looking for mommy…while the listener’s Scorpio Venus is a natural femme fatale. Plus sage insights on ways to break the cycle.

    The second question was about newly dabbling in polyamory and the quest for pleasure while keeping in mind their partner’s feelings, submitted by an anon Cancer Sun + Sagittarius Rising. They have transiting Gemini Mars + Jupiter in their 7th House of relationships which DEF brings more folks into the fold. But are these folks new lovers? A couples therapist? All of the above? Will their partner get in on the action? Plus deep diving on the 5th House when it comes to pleasure principles.

    I also gush about my personal song of the summer, Addison Rae’s Diet Pepsi. It’s ethereal, sexiness has me playing it on repeat, and I unpack her Aquarius Moon connection to Britney Spears and their ability to see the future.

    Also big news of the month is Oasis reuniting! I dig into both of Liam and Noel’s charts and talk about their Squaring Suns in Virgo and Gemini. I also astrologically note that the lads’ feud lasted the duration of Pluto in Capricorn, with their split starting as Pluto in Cap was beginning and I predict which brother caved to the other, based on astro. Astrology is so real lol.

    🍒 Here’s my August 2024 playlist for your listening pleasure! 🍒

    My Letterboxd Top 4 movie watches of the month:

    Love Lies Bleeding (2024)

    SLC Punk (1998)

    Zola (2020)

    Election (1999)

    BONUS: Trap (2024) cuz it was mental

    To wrap up August tastes, my storm-chasing obsession led me to a new series In The Eye of The Storm a disturbing first-hand look at superstorms and my new go-to falling asleep show, though its very graphic and the opposite of comforting. Loaded fries are the supreme meal of summer, it’s been declared. Fries for dinner. Wake me up when September ends, goodbye August!
