The Radiant Astrology Podcast (The Radiant Astrology Podcast)

“Most people die with their music still locked up inside them.”― Benjamin Disraeli

Carl Jung was very focused on the psychology of midlife, when a person begins to seek guidance from within more than the strivings of the ego. I have found the teachings of Jung and Jungians very insightful in my journey through midlife and beyond.

However, some of these teachings talk about a path that I don’t recognize in my own life. What if we have already been on a journey of liberation well before we reach midlife? What, then, are the opportunities that are present for us during this pivotal period in life?

I explore these questions in terms of midlife experiences, such as the Uranus opposition and the second Saturn return, as well as reflect on the question I often hear from astrology students such as what is “supposed” to happen during these times.

In this episode, we'll explore the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction which begins a new 14-year cycle with the planets of freedom. Jupiter is expansive and Uranus is rebellious and innovative and in the sign of Taurus this can take the form of creative breakthroughs and surprising turns of events. I discuss not only the conjunction but we'll look at the First Quarter Square and the Opposition of this cycle.

For one week only, I'm offering focused Jupiter-Uranus readings until April 20 so that you can gain awareness of the opportunities aligning with your destiny. Visit https://www.radiantastrology.com

In this episode of the Radiant Astrology Podcast, I explore the upcoming full moon which is a lunar eclipse in the sign of Libra conjunct the South Node which is exact on March 25 at 5 degrees Libra/Aries.

In ancient times, the solar eclipse affected the kind and the lunar eclipse affected the queen and the people. Interestingly, we just had an announcement from Catherine, Princess of Wales regarding her diagnosis of cancer and she was born on a lunar eclipse in the sign of Cancer. I discuss how this aligns with the aspects of the lunar eclipse in Libra ruled by Venus in Pisces conjunct Saturn.

In this episode, I’ll be exploring the Jupiter-Pluto Air trine, exact June 2. Jupiter, the planet of expansion has ingressed Gemini on May 25 and will be transiting this Air sign until June 10, 2025. It’s forming a trine with Pluto in Aquarius which amplifies generosity, power, wealth and resources. This is a great time to share your wisdom and influence and also to make major societal reforms.

Pluto is entering Aquarius for the second time on January 20, 2024, this time illuminated by the Sun. I reflect on what this means personally and collectively as the planet of metamorphosis crosses the threshold from the Capricornian archetype of patriarchal and political authority into the realm of Aquarian collectivity and humanitarianism.

We're coming up on Cancer season, the sign ruled by the Moon and associated with family, comfort, nourishment and emotional needs. Venus and Mercury conjoin and enter Cancer on June 17. The Sun enters Tropical Cancer on June 20, and as the sun stands still we experience the Solstice, illuminating our emotional needs and purpose.

The next day is a Capricorn Full Moon, so even though we may be craving peacefulness, work and responsibilities are highlighted. This is the first of 2 Capricorn Full Moons in a row, so balancing the Cancer/Capricorn opposition is key.

In this episode, our special guest is Astrologer and Herbalist Fern Vuchinich.

The first of three Jupiter-Saturn squares aligns on August 19. Not only that, but inflaming the collective transformation is Mars in conjunction with Jupiter, squaring Saturn.

In this episode, we'll take a look at the expansion and optimism of Jupiter in communication Gemini as it runs into a square with the restriction and reality check of Saturn in subconscious Pisces.

I'll also discuss how this relates back to the Jupiter-Saturn Great Conjunction of December 2020 and that we're seeing the first glimmers of potential from that monumental seeding moment.

In this episode, I explore the meaning of "people power" during Pluto in Aquarius, which began in March of 2023 and will last until 2044. I've spoken about Pluto in Aquarius several times before, but this time I want to give it some historical context as we can see some of the reverberations from not only the French and the American revolutions but also time of the English reformation during the reign of King Henry the VIII.

A dramatic Full Moon aligns in Leo on Thursday, January 25, 2024 at 5 degrees Leo (Moon) and Aquarius (Sun), exact at 9:33 AM PST / 12:33 PM EST. Leo Full Moons often bring emotional drama, and this may feel especially high stakes as it opposes Pluto at 0 Aquarius.

Diva-like behavior may be on the menu in order to save face as underlying fears activate ego desires. We may be called to transcend pride in order to serve a greater collective cause.

This Full Moon is the culmination of the intentions of the Capricorn New Moon on January 11 which may brought unexpected shifts in our work, achievement and sense of authority as it was trine Uranus.

Uranus is stationing direct so we can expect more excitement, surprising shifts and liberation from the norm. The Full Moon squares abundant Jupiter in Taurus, increasing the sense of freedom, abundance and exaggeration.

In this episode, I delve into the cosmic lovers Venus and Mars having recently entered Aquarius. As they crossed the threshold, they immediately conjoined transformative Pluto.

Venus and Mars will conjoin on Feb 21-22 and soon after, have an exaggerated square with Jupiter in Taurus. This is all occurring during the Virgo Full Moon who wants to bring order to all the chaos by organizing, purifying and being of service.

In this episode I explore the meaning of the Virgo Full Moon which is a Total Lunar Eclipse Blood Moon on March 13/14. Lunar eclipses can be destiny-shifting and this one is heavily aspected by Saturn, Uranus and Mercury stationing retrograde. It is also an eclipse conjunct the South Node which brings up themes of the past, release and transformation especially in Virgo themes such as health, service and duty.

In this episode, I share insights from my client work on preparing for outer planet transits to the Natal Chart. I recently had a client who was having all three outer planets - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto - transiting her natal planets and points and asked me "how do I invite them in?" which I believe is the perfect question to ask yourself when they come calling.

The outer planets are transformational and can be life changing. I explore the nature of each planet, some of the things I've seen in my life and client work, as well as how I suggest to work with them and what they want from you.

In this episode, I thought this Capricorn Full Moon (on my Sun/AC) would be the perfect time to 're-define- who I am and what I'm about. I share with you a new direction that I'm taking with the podcast. Well, it's actually not new... it's returning to the original intention of when I started the podcast - which was actually back in 2017!

Instead of doing the weekly astrological weather - which so many other astrologers are doing, and many brilliantly - I'm going back to my original love of discussing astrology in depth. What that means is, looking at themes of life and the collective through the lens of astrology as well as looking at astrology techniques in depth.

Astrology can be used in numerous ways, but the way I apply astrology is toward helping people heal. It has an amazing capacity to allow us see ourselves more clearly, and to feel seen. Astrology can help people align with a purpose, reveal our emotional patterns and explore our potential.

I also provide a bit of a biography of who I am, which I don't think I've ever done before. So get to know me and I hope you keep listening as I have some fascinating topics in store.

Be sure to sign up to my newsletter at www.radiantastrology.com/signup to get the latest news on my podcast and astrology offerings.

In this episode, I discuss the Scorpio Full Moon on April 23 at 4 degrees Scorpio/Taurus. The Full Moon will square Pluto in Aquarius, an intense alchemy of powerful forces impelling change, elimination and restructuring.

I also touch on the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus that is in effect and exact April 20 and how the zeitgeist is electric with revolutionary energy.

I also explore the horoscope of Jennifer Lopez and how her public difficulties can be seen as a manifestation of Pluto in Aquarius opposing her Sun, as well as the activation of the Fixed Signs in the skies - Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.

PS - I added an addendum to the podcast as I realized I forgot to discuss the ruler of the Full Moon, Mars in Pisces!

The Radiant Astrology Podcast is making a comeback to reflect on the monumental cosmic transition of Pluto entering Aquarius. I'll be discussing Pluto's transit through Aquarius with my beloved collaborator Sherene Vismaya, a Jungian depth psychologist and astrologer. We'll explore what this means for the collective consciousness, activation of the Fixed signs, and the empowerment of the Star archetype in the tarot.

In this episode, I reflect on the Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2nd which offers a transformation in our relationships, contracts and agreements. Eclipses are powerful periods of changes of consciousness and bring a disruption to the natural order of things. In Libra, the focus is on how we relate to others, find balance, equality and common ground. This is a South Node eclipse which suggests purging, as well as experiences and relationships from the past that return for resolution. Mercury is in the mix which suggests significant information that comes to light in the days around the eclipse which can be pivotal in our decision making. We may at first struggle to be heard or understood, yet it may be important to keep the peace.

Black Moon Lilith is tightly conjoined to the solar eclipse, signifying the need to reject oppression, even while we attempt to find a mutually beneficial solution in our agreements.The ruler of the eclipse is Venus in Scorpio so there is an undercurrent of profound depth, rawness and burning desire.Mars trine Saturn fuels action of working toward progress and rebuilding structures that support our goals.

Mercury is about to have another retrograde transit, this time in the sign of Aries, the fire sign of action, ruled by Mars.

I'll explore what to be aware of during this time of heightened anxiety and impatience as well as how to make the most of Mercury retrograde's opportunity for reflection, revision and re-thinking.

Lisa Pesnichak of The Dynamic Self Astrology has studied a variety of astrology styles and techniques, yet it was her use of Uranian astrology that she relied on to accurately predict the outcome of the 2024 US Presidential election. In this episode, she explains what Uranian astrology is and how the element of chaos that Uranus represents is rising at this time in our history, yet it also presents unique opportunities if we can become more adept at change.

And while much of the transformation in the coming years may at times be disruptive or unwelcomed, we can still hold a vision of humanity evolving into a more kind, just and supportive community.

If you'd like to explore more of Lisa's astrological analysis of the election in depth, I highly recommend watching her election recap video and checking out her full election paper, linked below.

 I discuss how Saturn symbolizes the Father archetype with my guest, Jungian analyst Sherene Vismaya.

We also explore Chiron’s role as the healing bridge between the Saturnian effort and the Uranian breakthrough.

“A father’s absence and deadness can fuel a daughter’s compensatory drive towards heroism and fame, or equally ignite the flames of depression and self-doubt. The negative father complex means dealing with the pull to depression, resignation, or being bound to the father by guilt or destructive emotions. Trapped under his spell she lives provisionally–time passing without meaning or purpose. She wanders. Unable to separate from his negative influence, she has trouble accessing her soul.” Susan Schwartz

As we adjust our daily lives to this surreal new reality, many of us are eager to find meaning in it all. This is where the depth of astrology can be profoundly enlightening. My guest for this episode is Adam Elenbaas, founder of Nightlight Astrology. His perspective on astrology integrates the ancient, the evolutionary and […]
