The Stellium Astrology Podcast

This week I'm encouraging you to sharpen your astrological observation skills by setting you a (non-obligatory) homework assignment.

All you need to do is mindfully engage with your actions and surroundings by making mental or physical notes on events that transpire on a chosen day—particularly if you have plans organised already—and then later on go back and see whether there is a connection to the planetary movements.

Of course, there will be! But learning how to observe and recognise these movements is key to 'feeling' the moment and connecting with astrology in action.

It'll be a lot of fun if you decide to do this! I would love to hear about your observations, You can share them by emailing me at [email protected]

Join me next week when I pick out a few charts of my own. If any of you contact me with interesting stories I may share those as well! :)

There's been a distinct shift in media reporting lately, and for very obvious reasons.

Russia and Ukraine are the topic of great concern and the man hogging the headlines is Vladimir Putin (for obvious reasons).

Naturally lots of astrologers want to look at his natal chart to see what insight it has to offer.

But the only data we have access to do is incredibly unreliable – what astrologers would call 'dirty data'.

As we explored the noon chart last week when looking at the Tinder Swindler – a chart with no birth time – I thought it would be interesting to look at the sunrise chart for Vladimir Putin, whose birth chart has been rectified and is not known to be correct.

The sunrise chart is a preferred method for most astrologers curious to have a look at natal placements when working without a birth time.

Have you cast a sunrise chart for a friend/family member/celebrity, and did you find it effective?

I recently saw the Netflix documentary the Tinder Swindler which was absolutely fascinating!

Naturally I had to look at the astrological perspective of Tinder Swindler Simon Leviev's birth chart to see what could motivate a person to perpetrate such awful crimes.

But, as so often happens when googling for chart details, I can find a date and place, but no birth time.

Though not ideal, in this situation I like to cast a noon-chart to have a look at the public image/professional outlook placements as the 10th house/mosit visible house of the chart is often the midday position in the natal chart (depending on the system you use and other factors).

I use this episode to look at the "Tinder Swindler's" natal chart from the perspective of the noon chart and explore the story portrayed allowing us to have some insight into someone's chart without actually having an accurate birth time.

Have you used the noon-chart method and how did it work for you?

I remember starting out on my student journey so well. Hearing someone else explain the natal chart and it making so much sense, and then going away and trying to do the same with my friends and family and finding it overwhelming.

Where to start? Should I be doing exactly the same as my teacher? Am I supposed to interpret everything in the chart? What if I get asked something specific and can't answer?

Well these are common concerns for any student astrologer and we can over compensate by trying to cover too much.

So I decided to record this episode with 5 pointers that should help you hone in on making your life easier rather than fussing over unneccesary details!

Did any of these points resonate with you?

Let me know if they did and whether this episode helped you to improve your chart interpretation.

There's a simple yet effective technique I use when interpreting the natal chart which instantly unlocks an added dimension of meaing and depth.

This is a method used by a lot of astrologers writing horoscopes, but I learned you can apply it to the natal chart for a different take on what natal placements mean.

Interestingly, I didn't realise how effective this method would be until I met someone opened my eyes to it and I suddenly realised how multi-faceted natal chart interpretation can be.

Honestly, astrology blows my mind and amazes me on a daily basis, hence I am totally addicted to the craft!

I hope you enjoy this episode – let me know how you get on applying it to your chart interpretations!

Did it work for you?

This episode was gatecrashed by a spider and is brought to you from a very different location than my usual podcasting cave!

Following on from last week's episode, I attempt to answer my patron Tania's second question:

"How would one read this regarding houses? Say transiting Venus is aspecting natal Neptune in the first house – which house is irrelevant? How does the house where the transiting planet is (Venus in this case) play into the effect on/with the house Neptune is in? This is obviously more important when the transiting planet is aspecting a natal planet - I can't seem to "get" the connection of a transiting planet in a house and how that would affect another transiting planet in another house nor a planet in the birth chart."

I used Tania's chart as an example and hope I answered the question fully and not too waffly!

In this week's episode I talk about aspects at the request of one of my Patterns who asked the following question:

"Your pod and the drawing on how to think about aspects was very helpful, however, I find myself lost regarding what planet is affecting the other. In a regular horoscope, like for instance, January 5th, retrograde Venus will be sextiling Neptune. Got it. But, is it the faster planet (Venus) bringing something to Neptune or is it Neptune affecting Venus in Venus' transit?"

It's a fair point which deserves addressing!

FYI Ewan was with me during today's episode and being rather noisy but as my life is a little crazy I have to seize my moments where I can. This podcast is very important to me and I want to continue putting it out for you all. Hence Ewan is playing with toys, chatting, sneezing and farting (pooping?) during today's episode!

Hopefully it isn't too distracting. Please let me know if you find it difficult to concentrate on what I'm saying or if you enjoyed Ewan's first appearance on the show!

So you've listened to all the foundation episodes of the podcast. You've absorbed the information like the thirsty little astro-nerd you are (you're in good company here!) and you're almost ready to go.

Except, you aren't quite sure how to pull it all together? It's all good and well knowing how everything works separately, but how do you put it all together and give the chart a voice?

There are generally two approaches a couple of methods with astrology which help to understand the chart.

Firstly you can find your way in using a methodical approach using the 'big three' – the Sun, Moon and Ascendant. The Ascendant is a great place to start as the figurative 'front door' of the chart.

Then there's the an intuitive approach, allowing the chart to speak to you and following the most enticing thread you find.

It seems like other people can just glance at a chart and see the story behind it. And they probably can, but it takes practice.

An ultimately, there is no right or wrong way to start reading the natal chart, just do what feels right to you!

Hopefully this episode helps you to understand how to pull it together if you're not sure how to approach interpretation.

Do you have a way of reading the chart that I've not mentioned? How do you approach it? Share with me in the comments!

This is a pre-recorded show as this week it's my birthday! Hooray!

It's one of the more commonly known aspects of astrology these days – even Taylor Swift has talked about it publicly. We like to blame our misgivings on it, and know we have to be extra careful whenever we find ourselves on the run up to, or in the midsts of: Mercury Retrograde.

But what does it mean if you were born during one of these periods? To start with, it's fairly common as Mercury moonwalks roughly 3-4 times per year about 3 weeks at a time. So not too remarkable. But it is still an interesting phenomena which impacts the native, especially if they have Gemini or Virgo in their big three.

It's also worth taking into consideration a technique called secondary progressions as you may find yourself experiencing a retrograde period over a much longer period of time through your progressed chart (I'll definitely have to cover this in another show).

Hopefully this episode will enlighten you on the ins and outs of Mercury's meaning when moonwalking through the natal chart.

Do you have Mercury retrograde in your natal chart? When did it turn retrograde? Was it stationing to turn retrograde or direct? Did anything I say in this show resonate, or did I miss something you feel is important?

Let me know!

I know it's cliché, but I can't believe how quickly the time flies.

We are already saying goodbye (and good riddance) to 2021, and moving on to 2022 with high(ish) hopes that this year will be at least a little bit better than the last.

And by the looks of the astrology, it will be.

During this episode, I look at the North and South Node plus the Taurus–Scorpio eclipses, the FOUR Mercury Retrogrades of 2022, a brief look at the transpersonal planets: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, and the Jupiter–Neptune conjunction in Pisces which occurs in April.

If you'd like to take a deeper look at Jupiter in Pisces, I've done a walkthrough for each of the signs which will be going up on my Patreon page in the next few days. There's a Venus Retrograde interpretation for each of the signs as well.

Thank you so much for supporting The Stellium Astrology Podcast over the past year. Without you this podcast would be nothing!

Wishing you all a wonderful 2022! xx
