Contact Talk Radio Network
Welcome and thank you for discovering "TURNING OF THE WHEEL" radio show. The goal of your host, Chris Flisher, is to provide an insightful, educational program about astrology, art, and spiritual adventure. Combining astrology, spirituality, with self-expression, "TURNING OF THE WHEEL" will serve to enlighten and engage listeners on some of the greatest divination tools known to man.
Timing is everything. The basis for understanding and accepting astrology comes from a desire to understand and cope with change. Change is one of the single hardest challenges people face in their lives. Whether it's a relationship, an illness, a bad job, or simply an unhappy spot in your life, astrology can help you understand timing and consequences. Chris is a practicing astrologer who is passionate about astrology.
After seven years of continuous broadcasting, "Turning of the Wheel" will no longer be airing on Contact Talk Radio. This was a very tough decision, but hopefully a new opportunity will arrive. I will have the phone lines open during the entire show so feel free to call in. I appreciate CTR and all who have supported me these last years. The wheel will continue to turn...
Some people do well. Some people go through hell. And some manage a happy medium. What is your experience with breaking up? We all have been through them and we may be through them again. What is in the astrology chart that shows that tendency? Can couples break up amicably or is a battle of wills the only way? Listen as Debra Anne Clement and Chris discuss this topic on the hot monthly radio segment, "He Says/She Says" where Mars vs Venus comes to full light.
We all live with expectations. This is an inevitable human trait. What happens when things don't go as we expect? Listen as I speak with author, Betsy Thompson about this topic in her new book, "What Happens if"."
Based on the concept that "whatever the soul gives, the soul lives," this exciting book by Betsy Otter Thompson takes you on an inner journey toward growth and understanding. Ms. Thompson's theory of emotional action/reaction enables you to see yourself honestly. And with a little humor, she provides practical skills for achieving a richer, fuller, and more meaningful life.
"Love hurts, love scars,
Love wounds, and mars,"...and even though this show is NOT about love hurting, it IS about MARS! Why Mars? Because right now Mars is conjunct Jupiter in Cancer, opposing Pluto and squaring Uranus. So yes, it is quite likely that Mars will wound. Listen as Debra Anne Clement and I discuss Mars and the charts of today. We are in the soup.
We are in the middle of a very rare alignment of outer planets. Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are all sitting at 5 degrees of the three water signs (Cancer for Jupiter, Scorpio for Saturn, and Pisces for Neptune.) This is powerful water-based energy that is truly rare. While Saturn and Jupiter align fairly regularly, Neptune's cycle around the zodiacal wheel takes 164 years. For these three planets to align spells out a very powerful message. What does it mean? How will it impact you? What can we take away from this time period?
High in the hills of northern Italy, there thrives a community of forward-thinking people that are unlike any other on earth. These people form the federation of Damanhur. This remarkable community of people thrives on moving humanity forward in the most positive and expansive manner imaginable. Their techniques and methods are unique and innovative. They are true "evolutionary revolutionaries." Their ideas, thoughts, actions and direction are the basis for the life of Falco, their founder and guiding light. On June 23, 2013 Falco left this plane of existence just as the Moon was closer than it has ever been before. Is this a coincidence? Or did Falco know something we don't? Listen as I speak with film-director, Keith Busha as we explore the life and impact of this unusual man and organization. I have been there and I have a hard time describing the beauty and magnificence of Damanhur. It can only be seen first-hand. Listen and learn...
We are becoming eclectic beings. As the world shrinks and we become more tolerant of others we are able to embrace new concepts, habits, and philosophies into our own personal dialog. This change is a vital step towards evolution and one which we should embrace. What better way to live than with a smorgasbord of ideas, flavors, concepts, and practices. Join me as I discuss "the eclectic company" where you pay you bill for diversity and tolerance.
So Mercury is in retrograde motion for a few weeks and what will THAT do to your relationship? A reconsideration? Or a renewal? This may be the time to re-do what you need to. Retrogrades are all about the "re" in everything. What the heck is that? "Re" means looking twice, as in reviewing. So take the time to do just that. Listen as Debra Clement and I discuss this on our monthly segment called He Says/She Says. It the whole Mars vs. Venus thing and it is a blast.
Do you know that your birth information is your unique address? Is signifies and identifies YOUR place in the grand order. YOUR purpose. Like your address, it is unique to you and no one else. So what is your purpose? Are you fulfilling it? Where is the love in your life? Have you found? What is your path? Astrology is the most accurate tool for self-discovery. Com and listen. I open the phone lines today for free readings. Call in and learn.
What is so appealing about our 6th sense? How do we use it? What can we learn from it? Join me as I speak with Christina Andrianapoulis about her wonderful new show about the esoteric and mystical sciences. This show has just debuted and is a new area for learning and spreading useful information for those who are seeking. Listen in.
Often our lives are a series of habitual tasks that we undertake without any awareness. But awareness is the secret. What if we were to approach our lives with a sense of reverence and conviction and purpose? What sort of ritual could you perform that would add meaning and stability to your daily life? Barbara Biziou is a world-renowned author and speaker on the "joy of ritual." Her book of the same title guides us towards embracing ritual as part of our daily routine. Through a consistent practice of solitude and quiet we can carve out a piece of our days that enhance our awareness while deepening our connection to the universe and our inner selves. Join me as I interview this marvelously optimistic woman.
There is nothing that gets the universe moving like a good old fashioned eclipse. This week we have one at 4 degrees Sagittarius and we all know how that will affect you Sag's, Geminis, Virgos and Pisces. But what about the rest of us?> Listen as Debra and I meander our way around this topic in typical "I'm right, she's wrong fashion," (wait till she sees that!). Any way it is always good fun and lots of acerbic wit to boot. Come along and have a listen
Caroline Casey has been one of my inspirations for years. She is witty, erudite and a font of symbolic knowledge that all relates directly to astrology, so naturally I would be enthused to have her on the show. Listen as we discuss the current situation and how astrology is more relevant today than ever. Caroline is a non-stop stream of insight, wisdom, and astrological depth How fantastic is that? What do we have in store? A bumpy road brings smoothness. Listen and learn...
One of the more compelling concepts comes in the form of the Akashic Records. The term, taken from the Sanskrit word "akasha" means "primary substance" and is the very fabric of our soul. They are the directions for each soul and contain the historical placement and relevance of your place in this current time. In short, they are the instructions for your soul as you live through this current lifetime. This is a fascinating discussion with Linda Howe who works with them. I first read of them through the readings of Edgar Cayce.
Human Design is a revolutionary combination of divination tools that are designed to provide guidance and navigation. Combining astrology, Kabballah, I Ching and the chakras, the Human Design System works to synthesize this information into a cohesive display of visual logic with specific instructions. Listen and learn as I speak with Hal Bahr who uses this unique tool to bring people to their greatest potential. I have been fascinated with this tool since I first learned of it many years ago.
As we move through these tense and challenging times we have to be able to express our feelings in order to cope. With all that has happened, and what might be on the way, what is it that people are feeling? As lawmakers continue to act against the wishes of their people, do we respond or do we sit and watch with complacency? Is there a public outcry lurking in our deepest recesses? And if not, shouldn't there be? Should we stand back and watch or should we engage? Our rights allow us freedom of speech. Why aren't we more vocal? Are you upset? Listen as Debra and I discuss this topic on "He Says/ She Says.
The realm of the supernatural has fascinated humans ever since the concept came into being. Nostradamus, Atlantis, Tarot, astrology, ESP, and countless other topics entice our imaginations with mystery, intrigue, and suspense. There truly is nothing like it. It is truly "supernatural." Join me as I speak with Richard Smoley about his most recent book, "Supernatural ~ Writings From An Unknown History." Come and find out what excites everyone and what draws us into the darker world?
101 years after this unsinkable ship, sank, the memory continues to stir our imagination A man in Australia is currently on track to reconstruct the Titanic is exact detail and re-sail the ship that nature took despite her unsurpassed engineering that was supposed to make her invincible. Join me as I speak with author and astrologer, Eileen Grimes on the anniversary (4/14/1912) of this historic event.
This is not meant to be taken literally, but with the Sun, Venus, Mars, and Uranus ALL in Aries, it is quite likely things are happening that are quite unpredictable. A fire alarm indeed. Uranus brings an unexpected quality to the mix, so be aware. What does that look like to you? Where is the action in your life? This is a fairly volatile combination but Venus does add some charity and empathy to the mix so that a nice ingredient. Join me as the ever-unpredictable Michael Lutin joins the conversation today! What a treat!
Mars has arrived in its home placement of Aries and spring is in the air. Along with Mars we find Uranus who has not been in this position for 84 years. What happens when these two get together. How does this tension affect your relationship? How do you handle aggression? Can you kiss and make up? What melts the ice between you? Listen as Debra Clement and I discuss this topic from the astrological view.
With five powerful planets in Pisces we are deeply immersed in illusion and the dream-like void of uncertainty. Clarity seems like a hard-won commodity. What can we learn from such experiences? How do we tune in to the sub-text of the universe at a time such as this? What is the message? Is your antenna up? Join me as I discuss this topic with astrologer Lisa Verschoor Smith. Can you see through the fog?
As we move further into times of uncertainty we come face to face with decisions. Choices we make, priorities we set, and people we engage come under close scrutiny as Saturn, in retrograde motion, and currently in Scorpio guides us to honestly evaluate our place in time. Are we moving forward? Are we making progress? Are we searching for an answer in calm serenity? What do our dreams tell us? Can we envision the right way? Only the truth will allow us to thrive. Saturn, the taskmaster of the zodiac is our staunchest ally for gaining peace, serenity, and balance. Join me as I discuss this current theme and how it will affect us all.
We are deep into a very watery astrological period. Over the next several weeks we will witness 5 major planets in Pisces, the mutable water sign. Pisces' deep mystical waters run deep and allow us to open up and show our true selves. What does that mean? How do we share? What gets said? What happens when we bare our souls? Listen as Debra Clement and I discuss this relationship topic.
As the Sun slips into the watery, emotional realm of Pisces, we see a unique gathering of friends waiting to welcome the light. Venus, Mars, and Neptune are sitting in the Pisces pool waiting for the Sun to bring on the heat. This calming and insightful period allows us to relax and dream. In that quietude lies an answer we have all been seeking. Shhhhh. Can you hear it?
Venus in Aquarius brings about the feeling of agape, the quality of universal love. This unique characteristic seems especially apropos as Venus drifts through the humanitarian sign of Aquarius. Join me as I speak with astrologer, Eric Francis about this potential for humanity and the planet.
On February 10th we celebrate the beginning of the Chinese New Year. This is the year of the Water Snake. The snake is said to be the yin to the dragon, its predecessor's, yang. Like The Year of the Dragon in 2012, we can again expect a bit of a roller coaster ride in 2013 that brings both highs and lows. It's a year of transition, and it's interesting that it also coincides with the astrological shift into the age of Aquarius. Listen as Sharita and I discuss this unique time ahead.
One of the most tense deal-breakers in a relationship is the ability to communicate - or NOT! The most successful and sustaining relationships exist due to mutual respect and a deep understanding of the other person. How does that happen? They LISTEN. In our world of constant chatter and static, we need to put down the cell phone, turn off the TV and sit and listen to our partners. Now more than ever. This is a cosmic gem that holds the key to stability and peace in our world. Stop, look, and LISTEN! Join Debra and Clement and Chris Flisher for a rousing discussion on this topic.
As Saturn wends its way through the sign of Scorpio we begin to see a trend unfolding of the unveiling of secrets. Saturn, the planet of responsibility and accountability, likes to draw out the dark and the hidden which is the realm of Scorpio. When these two are together which they will be until December of 2014, what can we expect? We can expect a lot of hidden misdeeds, backroom dealings, and secrets coming to light. This will be classic "skeletons in the closet" time. What does it bode for the USA? What does it mean in your chart? Tune in and I'll be offering FREE mini-readings in the second half of the show.

In the middle 1800's a remarkably unusual woman struck out on the world and established a society dedicated to the pursuit of all things esoteric. The occult became a fascination for the entire generation and Madame Blavatsky's Theosophical Society became one the pioneers into this fascinating world of the unknown. Join me as I speak with author, Gary Lachman about his new book: "Madame Blavatsky ~ The Mother Of Modern Spirituality" You will be interested to learn about this eccentric yet very influential character.
Chris has a Aries Sun and a Cancer Moon, while Debra has a Capricorn Sun and a Libra Moon. Each of those signs represent the four cardinal signs of astrology. As such they bring great initiation and leadership to the zodiac arena. In this discussion Chris and Debra discuss a wide variety of provocative topics all filtered through astrology and the role of the sexes in this fabulous passion play called life.
Numbers are significant for many reasons. They are part of our daily lives and without them we could not complete simple tasks. Yet, what do they say about us as individuals? What is the significance of your birthday? How does your name translate to your pre-determined path? Do you believe in their power? Join me as I speak with Michael Fierro as he discusses his newly-re-published book on numerology. Call with questions.
Trees hold a far more important role in our lives that many of us realize.

Join me as we delve into this historically rich and provocative topic with one of the world's greatest metaphysical practitioners.

These are deeply important and profound changes that will ultimately point to the path of our future. She is brilliant and accurate. Join me!

Millions of dollars were spent during the 2012 presidential election. Most of those dollars flew out the window never to be seen again. Was it worth it? Could that money have been better spent? Did a party really think that an office could be bought? In the end the universe truly shifted the election in ways that left an impressionable mark for the ages. What caused events to go awry for some and not for others? Mercury cast his nastiness of whom? And why? Discover the astrology of an amazing election. Free readings in second half hour.
Do we see reality clearly? Are we gazing through a fog of illusion? What does distraction do to our train of thought? How do we see clearly? What is reality? Join me as I speak with Alan Steinfeld on "New Realities" and here what we come up with. With Neptune, the planet of illusion and delusion we may be looking at the world through rose-colored glasses.
The US Presidential election is right around the corner. As with all great cyclical events, astrology can shed a rather profound view on current events and themes. The current alignment of some of the most powerful planets in intriguingly profound signs can lead to very dramatic outcomes. This may truly be one of the most important elections within the last 100 years or more. With two wildly diverse agendas on the line, we can be certain about one thing; a large part of the populous will most likely be unhappy on November 7th.
Deep in the midst of this current political dialog is a rather large issue at stake. It is the veritable "elephant in the room." The role and rights of women are a key component of this race. How will this play out? Will things change? How does this look astrologically? Join me and Debra Clement as we gnaw away on this hot topic.
Why have we heard so little about this fascinating subject? Are these a natural phenomenon or a pattern of divine intervention? Listen as I speak with Patty Greer a long-time "croppie" and an first-hand witness.
Patty Greer had a life changing out-of-body-experience in the center of a UK Crop Circle in 2007, and that was the day her perception of reality was forever changed. She saw & felt things she had never experienced before; she wasn't alone! Within 2 years of that day, Greer produced four full feature documentary films with no training, experience, or previous interest in film making whatsoever. Her movies focus on UFOs, Crop Circles and 2012. She's won 6 prestigious awards and experienced more than 100 UK Crop Circles personally since 2006. She completed her 5th film in 2010, editing on her own.
The religious beliefs of humankind are dramatically shifting. No longer do people turn to traditional regions for solace. This trend indicates a rethinking of the role of spirituality inthe world. While it may not be true for all people or religions it is a notable and pervasive shift. Listen as I interview Margaret Placentra Johnson on her new book,
The wise and wonderful planet of responsibility, accountability will step into Scorpio for the first time since 1983. What were you doing in 1983? Saturn is the great taskmaster and encourages us to clean up our rooms and do our homework. Thank the cosmos that we have such a wonderful motivator at our back, pushing us to get it together. What does this energy look like on the global level? How does it impact you? What house will Saturn occupy in your life? Call with questions....

A wonderful and insightful guest, Alan represents a true visionary messenger with his pockets full of potential.
When a group of older men start determining the rights of roughly half of the human population of a country, we have to stop and ask ourselves, why? Should this group of politicians dictate what any human being can do with their bodies? What if this group of people said that you have to get your haircut, or go to the dentist. How would you feel? This issue has become an extremely divisive talking point in this election. What astrological triggers are driving this discussion? Is this Pluto dragging us through the coals again? Is Uranus stoking those fires in Aries? You bet! Listen as Debra Clement and I discuss this hotly contentious subject on "Turning Of The Wheel"
As we move into a new identity and revisit our priorities we must be diligent in our efforts to move and evolve in a progressive, positive manner. We are acting as peaceful warriors moving onward to capture our prized goal. Listen as I speak with Mauricio Cordero about this healing and healthy practice.
This month we will see Mars and Saturn coming together in the late degrees of Libra. How marvelously perfect is it that these two impressive orbs join forces at a time and place where the theme of equality is screaming to be heard? This is the great design of the universe; where all events align, as they should for the truth to arise. In no other time could such an important alignment be so relevant to the discourse of the world theatre.
The great cosmic clock is similar to a gyroscope, spinning and remaining stable. As long as the gyro spins we are in a state of stability. As the planets swirl and circulate through our cosmos we are reminded how much they bring order to our lives. Nothing is as constant as the planets in our neck of the universe. Join me as I speak with Michael Elliot of the Sabian Assembly about this topic and the current aspects.
We are all familiar with the phrase, "Hell has no wrath like a woman scorned," right? Well what happens when a man has the same emotions? Are these only feelings of the feminine? Obviously not. Listen as Debra and I discuss how another of the seven deadly sins fits into the whole realm of a relationship. Listen and call with your experiences.
The astrological weather for the coming months seems quite severe. How do we cope with this climate? How do we harness this potential in a positive manner? Potential exists as a great motivator, so we would be wise to do all we can to aim our sites higher and brighter. What will happen? How will it affect us?
The rules are changing before our very eyes. The initiating action of Mars entering Libra, the sign of balance and justice can make us ponder the outcome. Is justice being served? Is equality possible? Are we getting the truth? Who's in charge? Can we change it? Astrological influences are intense. What will happen? How will it affect us?
The Sun is in Cancer, Uranus is in Aries, Pluto is in Capricorn...all in close proximity...all cardinal...all initiating. What does this mean? Has the tide turned? Will we be able to wrest the power away as the potential for change becomes more obvious than ever. Can the universe guide us? Call with YOUR questions about your astrology...
