The Stars Made Me Do It

Martha and Ciera decide to ramble about pretty much everything possible...so tune in for a well rounded ramble! Are you a Scooby Doo fan? Or are you like Martha who rarely ever watched Scooby Doo, yet suggested we analyze the characters? Shaggy is definitely Aqua/Pisces energy....clearly. Ciera gives Martha two zodiac buddies to choose for quests, love triangles, and more, with this new 'scenario' ramble category. Add an 'am I the a**hole' and an existential crisis and you've got the 14th edition of our fabulous astro rambles!

Our last Mercury episode?? How did that happen?! To end off our Mercury season with open arms and an open heart, Cancer Mercury is here to immediately sense what is wrong and comfort us through it. With Cancer being such an emotionally driven sign, it’s no wonder why people with this Mercury placement tend to be exceptionally intuitive. In the second half, we are also joined by Mimí's friend from university, Callie! Tune in to hear her perspective on being a Gemini with a Cancer Mercury!

And for all the Cancer Mercuries out there…can you confirm that you are excellent imitators in your story telling?!

We're so used to hearing people ask: "What's your sign???" However...once you've had a tased of astrology that questions quickly evolves into asking for someone's top three! So what does top three even mean? Your top three is your sun sign, your moon sign, and your rising sign (also known as your ascendant). While every placement in your chart counts, the top three really gives an overall vibe of someone's personality. This is our final B2B episode (for now.....) and we're so excited to bring all of these basic energies together in a way that lets everyone test out their awesome astro knowledge! Mimí and Ciera go over the individual meanings of sun/moon/rising, how they play out together, and go over some top three examples sent in my listeners. Happy B2B graduation!

We're back with a long awaited return of The Stars Made Me Murder! Kailin joins Ciera and Mimí in this millenial mashup where true crime meets astrology. While many of us have heard of the Zodiac Killer, this episode is about the COPYCAT zodiac killer, Heriberto "Eddie" Seda...and when you hear about his Leo placements you KNOW he must be raging at that title. While we hear about Kailin's research on this fascinating and frustrating case, Mimí and Ciera go over the transits happening during these crimes, the birth chart of the copycat zodiac killer, and (pretty darn fantastically) speculate on their rising and moon sign. While the stars don't ACTUALLY make anyone murder...we uncovered a lot of astrological insights through hearing and discussing these horrendous incidents.

A special mention to the victims and their families: Joseph "Joe" Proce, Patricia Fonte, and John DiAcone.

Did you know that some signs are really well qualified for the characteristics of certain planets? If the moon had a list of job requirements, Taurus would be THE SIGN for the job. Each planet has a sign that does its job really well, and we called these placements exalted. On the other hand, the opposite signs of those exalted signs (signs in fall) work in different ways than what the energy might call for. Exaltation and fall are placements don't match up like planets in their ruling signs (or their opposite, known as detriment). For these placements you just have to memorize! Ciera and Mimí go through all the exaltation and fall placements, talk about which signs are best for the jobs of which planets, and talk about how the best way we can harness the energy of a planet is by first understanding it!

Happy Gemini season! This episode comes to you in the seasonal spirit of #stopgeminihate! Gemini, one of the signs ruled by Mercury, has a LOT to say...and oh how we love to listen (and discuss)! This airy and mutable Mercury needs to be able to bounce their ideas around on their own terms and time-frame. Although Gemini loves being social, with so many thoughts happening, those with Gemini Mercury can definitely benefit from some calm, alone time. Laura, OG fan and former Leo Moon guest, saves the day and shares her firsthand experiences and thought processes as a Gemini Mercury. Join us for for a mercurial, cross-Atlantic bed-chat!

Get ready for this part 2 coming at you with all the info on houses 7-12! In contrast to our part 1, which talks about the more personal houses, the second half of the houses deal much more with more worldly and public interactions. Houses 7-12 show up at the top of our chart, so these areas tend to be much more noticeable or obvious to others around us. If you want info on how to read houses in a chart in general, make sure you check out our part 1 where we go into greater details. As we keep saying….houses are all about the WHERE! So take a look at your chart, see what house your sun is living in, and join us for this much anticipated second half!

In today's episode, we keep it light with some zodiac associations to cereals and eating habits. Let us know where you stand on cereal (and especially on raisins!) Plus, we get into some of the most terrifying placements in a natal chart, including the dreaded Aries/Scorpio blend. Do you have any of these placements in your chart? How have you dealt with their terrifying nature?

One of the most anticipated Back to Basics episodes…we’re here to chat about houses! While considered an important part of basic astrology, houses are a large concept to grasp. Ciera and Mimí break down the houses into slices (pizza for the savory, pie for the sweet), as well as quadrants and hemispheres. This episode covers houses 1-6, which go over more of our individual lives and inner worlds. Don’t be intimidated by the circle chart-join us for the first installment of our houses overview!

Happy Taurus season! Ciera and Mimí, along with Taurus Mercury guest, Jess, dive into the sensual nature of this Mercury sign. With the influence of Venus, it's no wonder that Taurus Mercury placements are very value driven and are often known for their musical voices. Always taking their time, in true Taurus fashion, when a Mercury in Taurus placements says something...they mean it!
