Imagine having a deep and difficult conversation with your loved ones which enables acceptance and forgiveness while freeing you all from shame, sadness, and dysfunction.

Imagine what it would feel like to be the chain-breaker in your family.

But what if you don’t want to have that conversation? Or it isn’t possible due to bereavement, estrangement, or adoption (or any other reason for that matter)?

Family Constellation Therapy makes it possible to do the work regardless of the many reasons you might not want, or be able to broach difficult issues with your family.

You don’t even have to KNOW who your family is.

In today’s episode, I speak to Family Constellations Facilitator, Sound Therapist, Yoga and Pilates teacher, and talented singer/songwriter, Karis Bunney, who has been constellating me for the past 18-24 months.

Constellating your family system can not only reveal the root cause of some of the issues and beliefs that burden you, but allow you to forgive and heal generational wounds, so you are liberated from the “disturbances” of the past, enabling yourself and future generations to continue on a pathway of growth.

During this episode, Karis explains what happens during a Family Constellation session, how it works, how it can free you, and theorises on the magic that makes it all happen.

We also candidly share our personal experiences and invite you to think about how this transformational, transgenerational therapy could benefit you and your future generations.

Ask yourself:

Have you been caught in a feedback loop, repeating past patterns with no idea WHY it is so deeply ingrained in your subconscious?

Do you recognise unhealthy behaviours/ideas/beliefs you want to change but don’t know where they are rooted? Are you conscious of repeating family patterns and desperate not to make the same mistakes your parents/relatives did?

If you answered yes to any of the above, this episode is for you.

“Symbols move in and out of people’s lives as realities. To skirt through symbolism into real life and then back and forth, is the art of the symbol. Moving in and out, making sense of it, weaving tales around the astrological placement, that’s what we do with dreams, as well. And the underlying element is that this stuff is real. Real information, real guidance, whether it’s your dreams, whether it’s astrology”

Mesmerising words from Richard Swatton, who was kind enough to give up his time to record with us during Pisces season. 

This was a special episode featuring my lovely patrons, who normally enjoy taking part in the regular conversations on the Stellium Astrology Patreon page.

Despite many technological issues with software and hardware failing me, this was a fun episode to record. Next time I will make sure I have better conferencing software!

TRIGGER WARNING: Stalking & R*pe   PLUS CONTAINS SPOILERS! Please don't continue reading/listening if you are yet to watch the show.   Everyone's talking about Baby Reindeer, so I thought it was time to join the conversation.   Of course, I am looking at things from an astrological edge, and when they gave specific dates in the show, I just had to note them down to take a look.   The show was launched on 11 April 2024, during a highly volatile and compelling period of planetary transits (eclipse season, Mercury retrograde, and the Jupiter–Uranus conjunction).   Unsurprisingly, the nature of the story is shocking, moving and helplessly fascinating. The themes of this dark drama really plug into the zeitgeist.    It is important to note I don't have accurate birth data for Richard Gadd who plays Donald Dunn a.k.a. Baby Reindeer, and the dates discussed during the show may be fictional dates, but that doesn't matter because I believe any dates mentioned/fabricated/mistakenly issued, always hold some sort of meaning or significance.   That said, social and generational planets are slower moving, so I think they give a general feel for a period in time, without the need for zooming in on the personal planets/details.   Chart details Richard Gadd 11 May 1989 Wormit Scotland *cast for noon   Dates mentioned in show Stalking Donald Dunn 24 August 2015 to 22 March 2017   Stalking Parents 06 June 2016 to 22 March 2017   Read my article for The Mountain Astrologer: Weapons of Mass Distraction - Astrodienst     📍Everything you need to know is here: https://www.stelliumastrology.com/links/

Today I talk about the current astrology and the general feel of things.

Mercury is stationed ready to enter his direct motion, the Jupiter–Uranus conjunction perfected on Sunday 21st, and the recent Eclipses from Late March to early April.

What does it all mean? How is it manifesting? What can you do to make the most of it? And how has it impacted you?

OK, so I'm a bit late publishing this one, but Cara, my patron, asked me an interesting question: What does the Jupiter–Uranus conjunction in Taurus mean for those of us born with Chiron in Taurus?

Here are my thoughts – I hope you find the episode useful.

Please let me know what you think, and whether I missed anything!

Following on from last week's episode, inspired by Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, I recorded some thoughts I had about the method in which the Ego makes itself known and communicates with us.

Of course, the Ego in our horoscope is the Sun, but where would he be on his journey of becoming, without his diligent but oh-so-biased PA: Mercury, colouring every ounce of info he receives with his perspective?

Have you read A New Earth or The Power of Now?

A few weeks back I was reading a book called A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and found myself relating the content to planetary transits and astrological placements.

I talked about the transpersonal planets, or as they're commonly known: the Gods of change.

This is all coinciding with a Pluto transit that I am currently having to my natal Mercury placement, so I wanted to share the insights I am having.

Are you, or is anyone you know, having a transpersonal planetary transit?

Something I’ve wanted to explore on this show for a very long time is a popular predictive technique called Secondary Progressions.

I’ve always been intrigued but have spent most of my time focussing on other techniques because they came more naturally to me.

So I decided to get my friend and astrological colleague, Fernanda Paiva, on the show to talk about this incredible predictive technique, while sharing the knowledge with you, too!

Two phrases Fernanda used which were particularly evocative were “mining for meaning” and “the inward-facing eye” to describe the function and application of this fascinating topic.

Have you used secondary progressions before and did you find them insightful?

How did you apply them to your own chart and learning process?

Help us with our Juno research: https://forms.gle/12mhRWTFMBQ1ygkC7

I remember some time back in 2015, clicking around the additional objects on astro.com and discovering asteroid Juno who happened to be sandwiched right between my tight Mercury–Venus conjunction.

Of course I was intrigued, but I was deep in the throes of a Pluto transit, so I had limited focus for distractions at that time.

Recently by chance, I got talking to today’s guest: Lianne McCafferty, about her peacock-inspired workspace – relevant for me over recent months as my little boy and I have been obsessed with them! We regularly have to visit the local “beegogs” as he so adorably puts it.  

Turns out peacocks are associated with Juno! Just magical.

Leanne has been fascinated with Juno since 2019/20 and has done a great deal of research which she is kindly sharing with us today.

Like Venus and Jupiter, Leanne believes Juno to have benefic qualities which is no surprise as Juno is the wife of Jupiter.

She is also known as Hera in Greek Mythology: long-suffering and committed wife of nymph-chasing serial-adulterer Zeus. 

But Juno is about so much more than relationships – she impacts not only on a personal level, but social and mundane levels too, due to the speed, location and elliptical orbit of this fascinating asteroid.

 

➡️ Where is Juno in your chart and can you relate to any of the areas we’ve covered today?
