The Radiant Astrology Podcast

Every two years, Mars, the planet of action, passion and drive, goes retrograde and we face particular challenges when it comes to the themes Mars rules. In this episode, I discuss the cycle of Mars retrograde with my guest Fern Vuchinich of Wisestars Astrology.

We explore the current Mars retrograde transit in Cancer and Leo as well as many of the overall themes that Mars retrograde tends to generate. This cycle features Mars opposite Pluto and Mars Out of Bounds, which may be why it has been a particularly narly one!

Mars stationed retrograde on Dec 6, 2024 at 6 Leo and will turn direct Feb 23, 2025 at 17 Cancer.

Lisa Pesnichak of The Dynamic Self Astrology has studied a variety of astrology styles and techniques, yet it was her use of Uranian astrology that she relied on to accurately predict the outcome of the 2024 US Presidential election. In this episode, she explains what Uranian astrology is and how the element of chaos that Uranus represents is rising at this time in our history, yet it also presents unique opportunities if we can become more adept at change.

And while much of the transformation in the coming years may at times be disruptive or unwelcomed, we can still hold a vision of humanity evolving into a more kind, just and supportive community.

If you'd like to explore more of Lisa's astrological analysis of the election in depth, I highly recommend watching her election recap video and checking out her full election paper, linked below.

In this episode, I reflect on the Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2nd which offers a transformation in our relationships, contracts and agreements. Eclipses are powerful periods of changes of consciousness and bring a disruption to the natural order of things. In Libra, the focus is on how we relate to others, find balance, equality and common ground. This is a South Node eclipse which suggests purging, as well as experiences and relationships from the past that return for resolution. Mercury is in the mix which suggests significant information that comes to light in the days around the eclipse which can be pivotal in our decision making. We may at first struggle to be heard or understood, yet it may be important to keep the peace.

Black Moon Lilith is tightly conjoined to the solar eclipse, signifying the need to reject oppression, even while we attempt to find a mutually beneficial solution in our agreements.The ruler of the eclipse is Venus in Scorpio so there is an undercurrent of profound depth, rawness and burning desire.Mars trine Saturn fuels action of working toward progress and rebuilding structures that support our goals.

Carl Jung was very focused on the psychology of midlife, when a person begins to seek guidance from within more than the strivings of the ego. I have found the teachings of Jung and Jungians very insightful in my journey through midlife and beyond.

However, some of these teachings talk about a path that I don’t recognize in my own life. What if we have already been on a journey of liberation well before we reach midlife? What, then, are the opportunities that are present for us during this pivotal period in life?

I explore these questions in terms of midlife experiences, such as the Uranus opposition and the second Saturn return, as well as reflect on the question I often hear from astrology students such as what is “supposed” to happen during these times.

The first of three Jupiter-Saturn squares aligns on August 19. Not only that, but inflaming the collective transformation is Mars in conjunction with Jupiter, squaring Saturn.

In this episode, we'll take a look at the expansion and optimism of Jupiter in communication Gemini as it runs into a square with the restriction and reality check of Saturn in subconscious Pisces.

I'll also discuss how this relates back to the Jupiter-Saturn Great Conjunction of December 2020 and that we're seeing the first glimmers of potential from that monumental seeding moment.

In this episode, I share insights from my client work on preparing for outer planet transits to the Natal Chart. I recently had a client who was having all three outer planets - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto - transiting her natal planets and points and asked me "how do I invite them in?" which I believe is the perfect question to ask yourself when they come calling.

The outer planets are transformational and can be life changing. I explore the nature of each planet, some of the things I've seen in my life and client work, as well as how I suggest to work with them and what they want from you.

In this episode, I thought this Capricorn Full Moon (on my Sun/AC) would be the perfect time to 're-define- who I am and what I'm about. I share with you a new direction that I'm taking with the podcast. Well, it's actually not new... it's returning to the original intention of when I started the podcast - which was actually back in 2017!

Instead of doing the weekly astrological weather - which so many other astrologers are doing, and many brilliantly - I'm going back to my original love of discussing astrology in depth. What that means is, looking at themes of life and the collective through the lens of astrology as well as looking at astrology techniques in depth.

Astrology can be used in numerous ways, but the way I apply astrology is toward helping people heal. It has an amazing capacity to allow us see ourselves more clearly, and to feel seen. Astrology can help people align with a purpose, reveal our emotional patterns and explore our potential.

I also provide a bit of a biography of who I am, which I don't think I've ever done before. So get to know me and I hope you keep listening as I have some fascinating topics in store.

We're coming up on Cancer season, the sign ruled by the Moon and associated with family, comfort, nourishment and emotional needs. Venus and Mercury conjoin and enter Cancer on June 17. The Sun enters Tropical Cancer on June 20, and as the sun stands still we experience the Solstice, illuminating our emotional needs and purpose.

The next day is a Capricorn Full Moon, so even though we may be craving peacefulness, work and responsibilities are highlighted. This is the first of 2 Capricorn Full Moons in a row, so balancing the Cancer/Capricorn opposition is key.

In this episode, I’ll be exploring the Jupiter-Pluto Air trine, exact June 2. Jupiter, the planet of expansion has ingressed Gemini on May 25 and will be transiting this Air sign until June 10, 2025. It’s forming a trine with Pluto in Aquarius which amplifies generosity, power, wealth and resources. This is a great time to share your wisdom and influence and also to make major societal reforms.

My course on the Lunar Nodes - Mapping Destiny: the Applied Lunar Nodes course starts June 1. We’ll be exploring the Nodal Axis as the evolutionary adventure and deeply exploring the South Node, North Node, their planetary rulers and how we can bring them to consciousness to follow the soul’s calling.
