Welcome to the very first episode of Rhythms and Retrogrades, where astrology meets pop culture, music history, and the unforgettable soundtracks of our lives. Hosted by Schyler, a lifelong lover of the stars and sound, this intro episode lays the cosmic groundwork for what’s to come.
In this debut, Schyler shares the inspiration behind the podcast: a fascination with time, patterns, and the eerie alignment of planetary transits with major musical and cultural shifts. From flipping through an ephemeris to decoding the ‘90s through an astrological lens, Schyler takes you behind the scenes of the podcast’s creation and what to expect going forward.
We’ll explore:
- Why Pluto in Scorpio had a choke-hold on the ‘90s
- The cultural meaning of nostalgia in times of massive planetary change
- What the 27 Club, Saturn in Pisces, and Pluto’s transition into Sagittarius have to do with music evolution
- The real reason we’re collectively obsessed with throwback culture right now
If you’re curious about how astrology weaves into iconic music movements—from grunge to industrial rock—and how cosmic cycles continue to echo through pop culture, you’re in the right place.
🎧 Subscribe, turn up the volume, and prepare to time travel through the zodiac and your favorite music eras.
