Poems: "The Patience of Ordinary Things" by Pat Schneider

Heidi reads poetry. We all get to breathe and be nourished.

We explore the fifth house and what it means to have 3 different planets in 2 different signs all contained in one area. My 5th house is a mystery to me. Can you tell me what it means to have 3 planets in 2 different signs and how you'd interpret what the means for creativity and children? OR I'm also interested in my North Node - what does my chart say about my purpose? - Eileen Poem: "From Out of the Cave" by Joyce Sutphen

Heidi answers two questions -- one about The Part of Fortune and one about the right timing to make a career shift! She also shares a beautiful poem the moment an ordinary day becomes holy ground. Do you think the part of fortune means anything ... mine made so much sense to me in terms of acting career and playfulness and improv (aquarius! 5th house!) but.... you tell me!!! - Sue Kate and I am currently in an alright job. It pays the bills, my coworkers are nice, and I'm able to do the work well. However, I feel like I can do more. I want to LOVE my job. But, I'm scared to take the risk. What if what I do next is worse than it is here? What if I have to take a pay cut to get into the field I wish to pursue (HR)? I'm nervous to take the jump. Is there a time coming up where taking that jump would make sense? Is it worth the risk? How will I know that the opportunity is right? -Kelly Poem: "Everyday Grace" by Stella Nesanovich

Heidi and Ellen Fondiler discuss all things Libra as the Sun enters this initiating, collaborative sign. Poem: "Indigo" by Ellen Bass

Shana is returning to work she loves and hopes to have the support to see it through and grow her business. Heidi explores transits to the Midheaven that say "Yes" to this new chapter Heidi, Over a year ago, I left my job as a psychotherapist to work a desk job for my brother's law firm. This was a pragmatic move: my family needed benefits, and the desk job provided them. After a difficult year of doing work I don't enjoy - and the emotional complications of working for my sibling - I have realized that I really just don't like working for other people. I don't want a boss - nor do I want to be the boss of anyone. I have decided to return to my therapy practice. I will be part of a group of therapists that engage in consensus decision making while at the same time, I will essentially be working for myself. At times I feel excited about this upcoming change, but more often I am overwhelmed by anxieties and doubts. I struggle with imposter syndrome, I wonder if I'll be good enough, I fear I'll make a big mistake.... I want to bring creativity and beauty into my work with others. I want to be humble and I want to inspire. But overthinking takes over and saps me of innovation and energy. This is true in many areas of my life. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a writer - and while I've composed a few poems and stories I feel good about, this critical overthinking - the nonstop narratives - freeze my creative flexibility, stop me before I've even started, and convince me to stay small. I am just beginning to learn about astrology and I wonder if this has to do with my moon in Gemini? And since my moon in Gemini is in the seventh house, I will say this overthinking shows up in my partnership as well - and I am married to a beautiful soul. (I had my chart read once, almost 20 years ago, and the astrologer told me that my marriage planet is afflicted.) I am wondering how to best understand and work with this astrological placement (or whatever placements may be relevant here), and how I can get out of my own way so that I can connect to and create beauty - whether it be in my career, relationships or creative pursuits (which I see as all connected anyway...). Many thanks for considering my question! -Shana Poem: "I Can No Longer Be Contained" by Heidi Rose Robbins

Heidi explores the position of the EARTH in the astrological chart.​ Hi Heidi! I've been listening and enjoying your podcast for awhile now and have recently became a Radiant member which has exposed me to your fantastic Charting Your Course classes. Something struck me in your 5th class about Mars. In the first 10 minutes you mention Earth and its significance. I've never thought about this before but you explain how Earth's position in your chart is directly opposite your Sun. So I would have Earth in 0'13" Sagittarius in the 5th house, and according to the decans, Sag/Sag. You explain that Earth represents our practical manifesting work. I have my Sun in opposition to Uranus but now I know that my Earth is sitting right next to Uranus. Can you help me put this into perspective in terms of career? I'm very much ready for a change in my career but have always valued stability and am afraid to make a leap that may cause instability. This new found Earth next to Uranus may be the shake up perspective I need? Sorry for the long question but I never thought about Earth as part of a chart! — Stephen Poem: "It's All Right" by William Stafford
