STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family
STAR/CHILD is all about how astrology shapes us and all our closest relationships. On this weekly reading, get into the family dynamics we’re born into, how be bring those into the families we find and create for ourselves (whatever that looks like), and the relationship we have with our inner child — and how the contours of all of it get brought to light by the week's astrology. It’s about unpacking how we were parented and how that affects every connection in our lives — not just with our kids but with friends, partners, and anyone who feels like family. Each week, we’ll talk through the astrology of the upcoming week and what it means for us and the important relationships in our lives. From decoding a child’s chart to figure out what makes them feel safe and supported, to asking hard questions about how to break cycles and show up better for the people we love — this podcast is about using astrology to make sense of it all. Whether you’re a parent, thinking about your own parents, or just figuring out how to not ruin the people you care about, we're talking to you here.

This isn't your standard retrograde clusterfuck. This is more like realizing you've been speed-running a major life transition since March and now someone's asking to see your work. The spring was a whirlpool of identity crisis when Mercury and Venus were retrograde together while Saturn and Neptune were literally changing signs. Now we're in the summer slowdown, except it's less "lazy river" and more "mandatory performance review ...

This week is prepares to jinx us all pretty quiet by 2025 standards, but that doesn’t mean it’s a throwaway week. Sometimes we just get a week to play catch-up with all the changes that are happening — and that often comes with at least one punctuating moment to remind us just how deeply we’re in the middle of change.
Key moments of the week:
- Sun, June 29: Mercury in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius
- Fri, July 4: Venus conjoins Uranus...
Since today's astrology is both super special and extremely layered, we ended up with our longest daily rundown ever (by far) — and we thought we'd make it available to everyone. If you want a deep dive into what today's Jupiter cazimi plus tomorrow's New Moon in Cancer mean on both personal and collective levels, here you go.
Listen, we said Jupiter in Cancer would be a year of abundance and healing and all that good shit, but if we’re being honest, the first two weeks were hot trash — but not this week, baby. This week, we get to see what Jupiter in Cancer (an objectively wonderful transit) has going for it, finally.
Key moments of the week:
- Sun, June 22: Sun in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries
- Sun, June 22: Mars in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in Cancer
- Mon, ...
The vibe is precision-cut feelings, spreadsheet-ing ourselves through the mess, and a tender panic spiral with a side of tactical healing. Listen now.

Jupiter and Mercury hit rough seas in Cancer, and the Full Moon in Sagittarius acts like an optimism life raft in the middle of it all.

Get in, loser, we’re healing. (Sorry, we’ve seen Mean Girls too many times; you’re not a loser.) If the last few weeks have felt mentally exhausting, things feel decidedly sweeter and cooled down by the end of this week. We’re starting out the week feeling unusually brave about our ability to heal even long-standing wounds, which also probably includes simply accepting that our unhealed parts are actually totally acceptable (cute a...
If you've been feeling like your brain is finally coming back online after a truly soggy Q1, congratulations: you're correct — this is one of the most energized, mentally lit-up weeks of the year. This week is when we scrape off the dried bits, plug ourselves into the wall, and get moving again. Mercury is finally back in Gemini, and it's acting like a spark plug inside a beehive inside a control room full of electrical wires and l...
We’ve been saying for months that 2025 is a year that changes things for us personally, structurally, psychologically, collectively, cosmically — choose your adventure. And if you’ve been waiting for the part where the year actually starts to show its cards? This is it. The sky is screaming in all caps that we’re crossing a threshold: Saturn is changing signs, Mercury is touching a live wire, and every planet seems to be forming a ...

This week wants us to build a new dream for ourselves, ideally without forgetting the lessons we learned watching the old one die.

Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of our actions. This is the week where the story catches up to itself. Where the thing you’ve been circling, narrativizing, re-framing, rationalizing, avoiding, re-romanticizing, getting a new therapist about — it’s no longer speculative. It's not a lesson in progress. It's the consequence. Or the evolution. Maybe both.
Everything this week says: if it’s still soft, you have to shape it...
This week is less “moving forward with clarity” and more “accidentally announcing your emotional state via group text while trying to send a meme.” Mercury’s back in Aries and immediately runs headfirst into Neptune, so good luck saying anything that makes sense. Mars enters Leo and starts performing grievances like a cabaret. The Sun tries to chill in Taurus, but ends up square-dancing with Mars instead. It’s a lot. Expect bold de...
This week is a referendum on the delusions you’ve been nursing like they were tiny, beautiful pets. The dream is still alive, yes, but it’s limping, coughing, and asking if anyone brought snacks. Venus is stationing direct. Mercury is stationing direct. There’s a Full Moon in Libra. It’s all happening. But instead of some triumphant re-entry into clarity and forward motion, we’re being asked to account for the cost of staying in fa...
Remember how we told you that 2025 was, astrologically speaking, the year where everything changes? Yeah. We’re there now.

This week is a transition, and transitions are messy. We’re sitting in the awkward limbo between eclipses, staring at our lives like a half-finished art project, trying to figure out if it needs a final touch or if we should just set it on fire and start over. We'll get into all of it in this week's reading.
Big moments of the week:
- Mon, March 17: Sun conjoins the North Node in Pisces
- Wed, March 19: Sun conjoins Neptune in Pisces

At the risk of being dramatic, can we just say…this week is one of the most intimidating astrology weeks of 2025? This isn’t just another intense week — this is the week where the astrology drops a weighted blanket over your life, sits you down, and makes you deal with your own sh*t.
Here’s the situation:
- A Mercury-Venus conjunction in Aries (March 11), the first of three, meaning this is a conversation that will unfold over we...
