I have a short and efficient episode for you today—perfect for the Mars in Virgo vibe. Mars will be traveling through Virgo from June 17th until August 6th. Mars in Virgo is all about efficiency, saving time, and creating systems that make things run better and run smoother. This is a great seven weeks for diving into an organizational project…or for book edits if you’re me.

Ready to expand your comfort zone? Jupiter in Cancer is here to help you grow in a way that’s natural and sustainable! In this episode, I do a quick recap of brainy Jupiter in Gemini and compare it to emotional Jupiter in Cancer. I explain what it means for a planet to move from a weak place (detriment) to a strong place (exaltation), explore how Saturn challenges Jupiter to make a plan, and finish with some journaling prompts.

Saturn represents your foundations, structures, boundaries and routines. When Saturn moves into a new sign, these things can go through a little (or a lotta) wobble.

Time for another Venus retrograde experiment! I’m so excited to welcome our first guest to the podcast. I believe we learn real astrology by listening to real people’s stories, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do today. In this episode, we dissect the astrology surrounding Tay’s experience of going from lost to local gym owner in a matter of weeks. We get really nerdy and talk about everything from progressions to zodiacal re...

This week’s an interesting combination of the past and the future. Some long-term storylines are coming to a close, while new ones are gently taking shape. You might notice some old feelings resurface, or just a pull to go down memory lane. From eclipse round two, to Neptune switching signs, and more of our double retrograde—the astrology is a little wobbly. Put on your floaties, and see if you can just ride the wave.

Intensity. Extremes. Depth. Death?! These are some of the words we kick around when we talk about Pluto. In this episode, we dismantle the somewhat negative reputation that Pluto carries and explore how it can actually be constructive. I also show you how to tell if you’re having a Pluto transit (it’s not as common as you think) and give you examples of how Pluto transits unfold in real life.
