The line between reality and dream isn’t a wall, it’s a tide and Neptune decides when it rolls in. We dive into the week’s sky with Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, Venus slipping into Sagittarius, and a much-talked-about Grand Water Trine that’s drenching everything in feeling and intuition. Then we zoom into a bright, noisy Gemini supermoon and explore how to separate signal from chatter when desire runs hot and clarity hides under the beams. Expect clear, practical guidance on what to notice, what to release, and where to let curiosity lead without losing your footing.

From there, we take a story-rich tour of Neptune: discovered by math before sight, named through debate, and forever tied to stormy seas, surrender, and the collective dream. We unpack Neptune’s core themes and share personal transit insights, including how Neptune can dissolve daily routines to make room for deeper inner work. 

We connect the dots across generations before peeking ahead to Aries and the values we might re-glorify. To close, we share reflection prompts for tracking dream themes and naming the fog, plus a simple lucid-dreaming method. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves the liminal, and leave a review so more star students can find the study room. What is Neptune asking you to release and what truth might finally come into view when you do?

Until next time, we invite you to connect with us on Patreon for additional resources and to share your all of your thoughts on Neptune! In our next episode, we will be going through the ashes that is Pluto!

Change doesn’t have to knock you flat; sometimes it just needs you to turn the dial a few degrees. We dive into Uranus as the awakener and explore how its final stretch in Taurus until April 25 marks the closing chapter of a seven-year liberation arc. Think practical astrology: where has life been asking you to loosen your grip since 2018, and what small, brave tweak remains?

Scorpio season turns the spotlight inward with a new moon conjunct Mercury cazimia. We talk about the Taurus–Scorpio tension between security and depth, how to use retrogrades for review instead of fear, and why this lunation is better served by composting old patterns than chasing shiny manifestations. You’ll hear accessible rituals and tools to work with the energy: a simple lighter as a symbol of controlled spark, Labradorite and Moldavite for awakening, and herbs like mugwort, cinnamon, and cacao to support intuition and focus.

We also open the hood on a few hot-button topics. Do modern planets deserve traditional dignities? Why do many astrologers separate Uranus from rulership schemes, and what’s the compelling case for linking Uranus with Gemini’s curiosity and mutability over Aquarius’ fixity? Along the way, we share real stories of eighth-house transformation, ancestor work, and the difference between chaos for chaos’ sake and change that restores sovereignty.

You’ll leave with three reflection prompts and one concrete practice: break a familiar routine on purpose and observe what shifts in your body and mind. If the spark feels good, keep going. If it’s edgy, that’s data too. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves stargazing and self-study, and tell us: what pattern are you ready to disrupt today?

What does Saturn really ask of us when life turns the page? We sat down with three women at different Saturn returns to trace how adulthood, success, and purpose change across decades. The stories are tender, funny, and unflinchingly honest: surviving poverty without letting it define your worth, navigating ambiguous loss when a loved one is alive yet altered, and finding peace in simple rituals that anchor a restless mind.

We frame the conversation with an accessible primer on the three Saturn returns. From early apartments and career pivots to downsizing and grandparenthood, we unpack the pressure to attain and the letdown that can follow. You’ll hear how working 130 hours a week can banish one kind of fear while creating another, and why authenticity often becomes the truest definition of success. 

Legacy and purpose get a compassionate rewrite. Instead of living only to leave money or to be remembered by bloodline, we talk about resonance: the love, care, and awareness you imprint on people, animals, and places. We close with each guest titling her Saturn chapter and an invitation to name yours.

If this episode moved you, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs a little structure and a lot of heart. What would you title your current Saturn chapter?

What if the “hard planet” is actually your most devoted ally? We dive into Saturn with clear eyes and open notebooks, swapping the villain edit for a grounded, usable map of structure, time, boundaries, and the kind of mastery that makes joy sustainable. We start with the week’s astroweather (Mercury–Mars sharpening words in Scorpio and a Venus–Moon balm in Libra, then pivot into a Libra new moon reset for connection, beauty, and balance). From there, we trace Saturn’s core themes: delayed gratification, boundaries, and fear.

We get practical. You’ll hear how Saturn shows up in the body, in materials, in plants, in crystals, in tarot, and in rituals you can start tonight. We also tackle the essential dignities: Saturn at home in Capricorn and Aquarius, exalted in Libra, challenged in Cancer/Leo, and in fall in Aries, plus a candid chart moment on Saturn at 29° Aquarius in the 5th and what it means to take joy seriously.

Big picture meets the everyday. We compare Saturn’s 29.5-year cycle to the Moon’s monthly rhythm, explore how ingresses mark societal shifts, and reframe “slow” as the speed of things that last. We close with three reflection prompts and a time audit you can repeat quarterly to build a life that can hold what you’re asking for. If this conversation steadied your mind or softened your resistance to structure, subscribe, send it to a friend who loves the long game, and leave a review, then tell us: where will you add one supportive boundary this week?

Ready to invite more abundance into your life? Jupiter, astrology's greater benefic, offers a cosmic roadmap to expansion, wisdom, and growth that feels refreshingly optimistic compared to other planetary teachers.

When Jupiter enters your cosmic classroom, it encourages you to trust that the universe has your back. As Ember describes it, Jupiter is "the cosmic big daddy of optimism, expansion, and sometimes doing a little too much." It's that friend who convinces you to book the spontaneous trip or order the extra dessert, decisions that somehow always seem worth it in the end.

In this joy-filled episode, we explore Jupiter's multi-faceted nature through its key themes: expansion, abundance, beliefs, higher education, wisdom, optimism, and yes, even its shadow side of overindulgence. We dive into fascinating connections between Jupiter and bodily systems (did you know it rules the liver?), examine its archetypal expressions like the sage teacher or the lush adventurer, and discuss how Uncle Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender perfectly embodies Jupiterian energy.

The episode takes a practical turn as we break down Jupiter's essential dignities where it feels most at home (Sagittarius and Pisces), where it struggles (Gemini and Virgo), where it shines brightest (Cancer), and where it faces its greatest challenges (Capricorn). We also explore how Jupiter's approximately 12-year journey through your chart creates predictable cycles of expansion and opportunity.

Whether Jupiter is well-placed in your chart or challenging you to find balance between growth and restraint, this episode offers accessible ways to connect with its benevolent energy through rituals, crystals, herbs, and simple gratitude practices. By the end, you'll understand why even when things get "too big" under Jupiter's influence, there's always a valuable lesson in the expansion.

Until next time, we invite you to connect with us on Patreon for additional resources and to share your Jupiter insights! In our next episode, we will be taking it on over to the greater malefic, Saturn.

When you book an astrology reading, have you ever wondered what happens before you even show up? Journey behind the celestial curtain as Jordan reveals the preparation process that many astrologers undertake, often spending 3-4 hours studying your chart, taking detailed notes, and researching specific aspects before your session even begins.

This eye-opening conversation explores the delicate art of chart reading from preparation to delivery. Jordan shares her approach of starting with the big 3 (Sun, Moon, Rising) to ground the reading in familiar territory before expanding into deeper territory. She discusses the shift from Placidus to Whole Sign houses in her practice, how she handles sensitive information ethically, and why live readings allow for a more intuitive exchange than written interpretations.

What makes this discussion particularly valuable is its honesty about the responsibility astrologers carry. Jordan reflects on being unprepared for the intimate stories clients share after readings and the importance of boundaries. She and Ember examine how different readers handle challenging chart aspects: some bluntly predicting difficulties while others focus on providing constructive pathways forward. Their conversation highlights how the most meaningful readings balance technical knowledge with compassion and intuition.

The episode also features a fascinating discussion about cosmic synchronicities, including the rare occurrence of two Virgo New Moons back-to-back and the upcoming partial solar eclipse. Whether you're considering getting your first reading or you're a practicing astrologer looking to refine your approach, this conversation offers practical wisdom and heartfelt insights into the sacred exchange that happens when someone interprets your cosmic blueprint.

The fiery energy of Mars governs everything from our deepest drives to how we fight our battles, both literal and metaphorical. Stepping beyond simplified notions of Mars as merely the planet of aggression, this episode delves into the multifaceted nature of this cosmic warrior and how it manifests uniquely in each of our lives.

We explore Mars as not just the initiator of action, but as the survivor, the strategist, and the protector. Drawing parallels between Mars energy and characters like Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, we illuminate how Mars operates differently depending on its placement from the brute force of Aries to the transformative power of Scorpio. 

The conversation takes us through Mars's physical domain in our bodies, governing inflammation, immune response, and adrenal function, revealing the intricate connection between our physical vitality and this planetary energy. We untangle the complex relationships Mars forms across the zodiac through its essential dignities, explaining why Mars thrives in Capricorn yet struggles profoundly in Cancer, where its offensive protection conflicts with Cancer's defensive instincts.

For those looking to cultivate a deeper relationship with Mars, we offer practical approaches through crystals like red jasper and bloodstone, fiery herbs like cayenne and ginger, and movement practices that build and channel this powerful energy. We also examine how Mars retrograde periods invite us to reconsider our motivations and often turn battles inward, creating opportunities for profound reassessment of what truly drives us.

Whether you're just beginning to explore planetary energies or deepening an existing practice, this episode provides both theoretical understanding and practical tools to work with Mars constructively. Join us in discovering how to harness your inner warrior, channel your passions effectively, and transform conflict into purposeful action. Ready to ignite your Mars energy?

Step into the lush, sensual realm of Venus as we unveil the planet that governs not just love, but our fundamental values, pleasures, and sense of self-worth. From the endocrine system to love languages, Venus's physical rulerships reveal how deeply this celestial body influences our embodied experience. Together, we'll trace Venus's complex mythological roots through powerful goddesses like Aphrodite and Inanna, demonstrating how patriarchal forces have attempted to flatten what was once a multidimensional force of both love and transformation.

Discover why Venus feels at home in earthy Taurus and diplomatic Libra, yet struggles in analytical Virgo and assertive Aries. We share practical insights about Venus transits and retrogrades, including how they influence everything from relationship dynamics to economic shifts. Jordan vulnerably shares her experience with a poorly-placed Venus, while Ember reveals her intimate Venus practices, including her dedicated altar and morning ritual with a special perfume.

The conversation flows through fascinating connections between Venus and Disney's Belle, the tarot's Empress card, and even glamour magic as accessible Venus work. We provide thoughtful reflection questions to help you explore your relationship with beauty, creativity, and abundance. What would your life look like as a work of art? How might you invite more sacred luxury into your everyday experiences?

Whether you're drawn to Venus's rulership over creativity, pleasure, or self-worth, this episode offers rich insights for every level of astrological understanding. Listen now to deepen your connection with this powerful benefic planet, and consider joining our Patreon community for additional Venus content and connection with fellow cosmic students.

Step into the cosmic classroom as we decode Mercury, the messenger planet that bridges our inner and outer worlds. Mercury's influence extends far beyond the dreaded retrograde periods. It shapes how we think, speak, process information, and navigate daily interactions. Like its namesake deity Hermes who traveled between Mount Olympus and the Underworld, Mercury represents the crucial connection between our subconscious thoughts and conscious expression.

The fascinating link between Mercury and Peter Pan reveals deeper truths about this planetary energy. Both are perpetual travelers between worlds, quick-moving tricksters who embody curiosity and playfulness while carrying important messages. This duality reflects Mercury's rulership of Gemini, where communication flows freely between different realms of understanding. When we embrace Mercury's energy, we tap into our ability to bridge gaps in communication and understanding.

Mercury's dominion over the nervous system explains why retrograde periods can feel so disruptive; they temporarily alter our processing systems. Rather than fearing these cycles, we can use them as invitations to slow down and reflect. Working with blue lace agate or fluorite crystals, practicing somatic movement, or incorporating aromatic herbs like mint and lavender can help strengthen your connection to Mercury's clarifying energy. Even a simple digital detox honors Mercury by creating space to observe how technology shapes our thought patterns.

Your natal Mercury placement reveals profound insights about your natural communication style. Where does Mercury reside in your chart, and what does it tell you about how you process information and express yourself?

Until next time, we invite you to connect with us on Patreon for additional resources and to share your Mercury insights!

Have you ever wondered what draws people to astrology? What sparks that moment when casual interest transforms into dedicated study? In this special "othersode," we take a break from our regular planetary explorations to share the personal journeys that led us to create this podcast together.

The magic begins with a new glimpse into our pre-recording ritual: pulling oracle and tarot cards dedicated to Mars and Venus. These pulls synchronistically reveal themes of transformation and cosmic connection that weave through our entire conversation. As Jordan shares her "Transformation" card speaking to radical internal shifts, and Ember pulls "The Crow" representing magic and evolution, we explore how these energies have manifested in our own lives.

Our paths to astrology couldn't be more different. Ember, always drawn to witchcraft and magical practices, found herself captivated by the systematic way astrology connected cosmic movements to human experience. Jordan's journey from skeptical atheist to dedicated astrologer represents a complete identity transformation, one she never expected. We discuss how that first profound reading experience (which turned into a five-hour session!) opened doorways neither of us anticipated.

We candidly address the misconceptions we both held about astrology from thinking it would be "cheaper" (spoiler: it's not), to believing we could master it in a few months, to expecting concrete predictions rather than cosmic guidance. These revelations highlight why making astrology accessible matters so much to us both.

The conversation flows naturally through current astrological weather, including the New Moon in Leo, Mercury retrograde challenges, and Venus moving into Cancer. We explore how these transits might manifest both personally and collectively, offering practical insights for navigating these cosmic tides.
