Mann about how this best works for all of us.

The great outer planet, Uranus will step into Taurus for the first time in 84 years. Any time a major outer planet enters a new sign we can expect to witness significant changes.

Oftentimes when an event occurs or we see a significant person in a quandary there is a tendency to find the aspects in the chart that validates that situation.

We are all fascinated by the concept of time. It governs our days, marks our lives and measures our progress. And yet it cannot be replicated no matter how we try to capture it, it remains elusive. Understandably so, for time is nothing more than motion. As the planet Earth speeds through the cosmos at 18.75 miles per second we literally see time fly, never to return again. In the blink of an eye we have moved further down the great stream of time. In that single second all of history is contained for time is cumulative and never stationary. Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with author Michael Gallileo, about this marvel of science in this two-part episode.

Where are we and how did we get here, and more importantly, how long will this last? Is the new normal? Hardly. Listen as your host, Chris Flisher, speaks with noted astrologer and financial pundit, Mitchell Scott Lewis about where we are and where we are going.

As many turn towards social media platforms for information the danger of falsehoods and fake news is very real. While the platforms offer a useful way in which to connect they also provide a place from which to spread inaccuracies.

When we glance out at the recent eclipse we stare with awe at the precision of the event. How does a small moon 250,000 miles away from Earth block out the Sun which 92 million miles away with such accuracy that it blocks the Sun with exactitude? Simply amazing. The entire basis of astrology is based on similar alignments. To astrologers this is obvious as we deal with degrees and angles all the time.

In his excellent new book, "It Didn't Start With You," author Mark Wolynn discusses how inherited family trauma shapes who we are and how to end the cycle. We are truly a composite of our forefathers.
Lauded by some as a belief< astrology is anything but a belief system. Unlike a religious practice, astrology subscribes to basic principles and rules that do not require belief, perseverance, but rather an understanding in the logic of the universe.

There was a time when astrologers looked at the sky and made their predictions and forecasts based on only 7 planets. They peered out as far as they could se which was to Saturn. While contemporary astrologers extend their reach out to Pluto, Hellenistic astrologers saw no need to go further nor could they see the outer planets (literally). They made their predictions using the basic 7 planets and that is a process that still holds a great value. Oftentimes, modern astrologers wander into the outer planets when all they really need to do is focus on the Sun to Saturn. In this segment, astrologer and host Chris Flisher speaks with Chris Brennan, author Hellenistic Astrology about this time-tested practice.
Saturn is the planet that represents responsibility and duty, whereas Pluto delivers deconstruction and rebirth. When these two form a conjunction in 2020 they will deliver a new vision of the world.

The very basis of astrology springs from the logic of geometry. To begin with we have a 360 degree circle which when divided up reveals 12, 30 degree sections for each sign. This logic and construct continues on through the difficult angles such as squares at 90 degrees or oppositions at 180 degrees on into the easier angles such as trines at 120 degrees or sextiles at 60 degrees. Each of these are based on the logic of mathematics and more specifically geometry. The presence of this goes even deeper when we consider the orbits of planets and the patterns they weave across the cosmos. Join your host Chris Flisher as he speaks with astrologer and author, Arielle Guttman about this fascinating subject.
Everything has a vibrational quality to it. The frequencies vary, but the concept is the same. The planets operate at a distinct frequency and that vibration has a direct impact on us.

Join your host Chris Flisher as he speaks with MichelAngelo an astrologer who uses frequencies, vibrations, and tuning forks to achieve balance and synchronization with the cosmos.
Perhaps the single most important member of our astrological portfolio is the Moon. The Moon represents our maternal needs and our emotions. Since we experience our moods through the different manifestations of the signs, the Moon plays a huge role in how we respond to others and how we cope emotionally. Since it is maternal that connection is far deeper than that of the other planets. That doesn''t discount the other planets but simply puts them into a different hierarchy. In this segment your host, Chris Flisher speaks with astrologer Maria DeSimone about the the Moon, our mother and our emotions.

Quantum physics is not only the future of science but also the key to understanding consciousness, God, psychology, death, and the meaning of life. This bold statement comes from author Amit Goswami. A theoretical nuclear physicist, Goswami claims that everything can be explained by the premise of quantum physics and the basic core foundations of the universe. All answers are to be found there. In this segment, host Chris Flisher discusses this subject with Dr. Goswami.
The presence of information is taking over our lives, capturing our attention and preventing us from being human. What is this phenomena all about? Are we able to comb through what is real versus what is fake? How do we discern what to watch and read and learn? Join your host, Chris Flisher and author and host of "The Secret Teachings" Ryan Gable as they discuss this topic.
Astrology is an ancient divination tool that delivers remarkable accuracy and detail about each and everyone of us. As Carl Jung once described, "New are like grapes on the vine born at a distinct place and time with unique characteristics" (paraphrase). The simple fact that so much can be learned about oneself based on the time place and date of the birth is truly magical and of another dimension. In this segment your host, Chris Flisher, discusses the mathematical and geometrical cornerstones that validate astrology.
We are witnessing some challenging aspects astrologically as Mars (aggression) conjuncts Uranus (rebellion) and opposes Jupiter (amplification) right at the moment of a solar eclipse. This is a powerful combination of influences that lays the groundwork for a rather dramatic period. In this segment, host Chris Flisher speaks with astrologer Kate Petty about this ominous alignment.
"As long as there have been human beings, there have been sacred landscapes--places where the natural world compels us to contemplate great myths and mysteries and open our senses to experience the transcendent." In this compelling episode, your host, Chris Flisher speaks with A.T. Mann co-author of "Sacred Landscapes." Mann is a world-renowned astrologer, artist, architect, and author.
Venus will go retrograde on March 4th until April 15th. During that time Venus will move backwards into Pisces and remain in Aries for almost 4 months total by the time all is said and done. As with any retrograde of a planet, the primary focus may be on the archetypal characteristics that the planet embodies. As Venus is the symbol if beauty, harmony and calm, will we consider how that has disappeared and will we respond by reconsidering where we are? Join your host, Chris Flisher, as he discusses this topic with noted astrologer, Arielle Guttman.
The ego is not who we are. It's a mental program, like a computer code, enabling us to function in the world--a sensory code giving us the illusion of individuality--an utterly false "reality" similar to what's presented in the movie The Matrix. When top network TV editor, Cate Montana woke up to the fact that her successful career-driven existence delivered zero happiness and fulfillment, she set off on a quest to find out why. One advanced degree in psychology and 20,000 hours of mediation later, this is what she discovered. Join your host, astrologer, Chris Flisher as he speaks with Cate about her mission.
Does a Taurus like food more than a Gemini? Do Capricorns imbibe more than an Aquarius? And, if so, what foods do the signs prefer? These and many other topics are the subject of this interesting take on astrology and food. Join host, Chris Flisher as he discusses this unique angle on astrology with author Lucy Ash as she discusses her book, "A Taste of Astrology."
The coming months present us with a series of close astrological degrees. The presence of Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto all in the middle to late degrees of cardinal signs may present an opportunity for anyone willing to step in and harness that power. The same holds true for the coming eclipse season in middle to late February for early mutable signs. Join your host, Chris Flisher as he discusses these tight angles with astrologer, Ronnie Dreyer.
Jupiter is the planet of the zodiac that represents abundance, optimism, but also amplification. Uranus represents rebellion, revolution, but also innovation. As these two planets move into opposition what might we expect to see? As the United States pivots towards a wildly unprecedented administration what might we see unfolding? Is this a turn towards a new mode of operation or a swing towards chaos? Join host, Chris Flisher as he discusses this topic with colleague and astrologer, Henry Seltzer.
Numerology shares many of the same attributes as astrology. Based on the birth date and the letters of the name, numerology offers a composite profile of the attributes of an individual or an entity. Like astrology, numerology offer insights into the shape of the year to come. In this segment, host, Chris Flisher speaks with numerologist, Micheal John Fierro about how 2017 is shaping up. Using the numbers for the year to come we can contemplate the themes of the year to come.
The coming year presents the United Sates with an unusual and powerful set of Eclipses, one of which is being called "The Great American Eclipse." In this segment, host, Chris Flisher discusses the coming eclipses with astrologer Agneta Borstein. The eclipse that occurs on August 21 will be visible in large areas of the U.S. Commencing in California and then moving across the lower U.S. this eclipse hits many key points in the astrology chart of the United States.

What a wild ride this year has been. We have suffered an enormous shift in our power structure that may ripple across our social landscape for decades to come. Is this what we expected? How do we mitigate the damage? Where do we go from here? How to we cope? All of these and other topics are the subject of this interview with your host Chris Flisher and astrologer, Michael Lutin.
Now that the vote has been cast and we are witnessing a slow political march in the opposite direction, we pause to reflect what happened in this most unusual election cycle. Why were the predictions so egregiously wrong? Why did we not see this coming? Why were the polls so ambiguous? These and many more questions arise in this discussion between host, Chris Flisher and astrologer Dorothy Oja. How do we make sense of what happened? How do we move forward?
Maxwell Maltz was a pioneer in the self-help market with his revolutionary book, "Psycho-Cybernetics." Written in 1960, this book was a true trail-blazer to a generational audience of reflective people who were looking for alternate methods for coping with low self-image. As a world-renowned plastic surgeon, Maltz's patients were always working on their exterior which got him to thinking about the true rationale behind "repairing" oneself. In his ground-breaking book, Maltz devised a methodology for examining and subsequently reviewing internal self-image as a means for a healthier, happier life. In this discussion, host Chris Flisher discusses the re-issue of this important book with editor and writer, Mitch Horowitz.
Back in the mid 1800s, a strange woman with a thick Russian accent and a head full of wild esoteric ideas, formed a new movement dedicated to the forward evolution of the occult. Although not considered a cultist per se, her work blended Eastern religion, mysticism, psychic channeling, and other controversial topics into a bold new sect of followers that formed what many believe to be the founding of the new age philosophies we recognize today. Although she was alive over 120 years ago, Madame Blavatsky's influence continues to populate many of the spiritually-oriented lifestyles many of us now subscribe. Join host, Chris Flisher as he speaks with author Gary Lachman about this most fascinating woman in this podcast.
We have been under the gaze of a retrograde Neptune for the past six months. During that time the attributes that best identify Neptune have been upon us in full force. Neptune is regarded as the planet of confusion, delusion, and illusion. Neptune obscures all that it encounters. On the collective level we have all been under the influence of this nebulous orb as the election season has us twisted around in ways we have never witnessed or imagined. Join host, Chris Flisher as he speaks with world-renowned astrologer, Steven Forrest about this most unusual season and influence.
As we glance back over the current election many of us are dumbfounded by the outcome. An upset that appeared out of nowhere has many of us pondering our future, our options, and our personal safety. What do we do now? Join, host Chris Flisher as he speaks with old friend and colleague, Tad Mann about the astrology of these potent times. Is this the influence of Neptune? Is this what the Pluto return looks like in the US? These and many other topics are discussed as we look backwards while remaining optimistic for the wake-up call that was just delivered.
For centuries humankind has been mystified by the presence of uniquely symmetrical geometric designs etched out in crops. Are they a natural phenomena? Are they the work of a hoax? Why don't they get more publicity? Join host, Chris Flisher as he discusses this most unusual natural event with Peter Tadd.
Juno is one of the asteroids that circles the earth in a belt of other asteroids located between Mars and Jupiter. We all have them in our astrology charts, but do you understand the significance of this one? Juno represents the karmic connection you long for in this lifetime. Whether we are aware of it or not, the placement of Juno at the time of your birth, is a significant indicator of your ideal partner. While we may stray into a variety of relationships over the course of our life, there is something immediately recognizable in the person who is right for you. Juno points to that one in your life. Listen as host Chris Flisher speaks with Marguerite Manning about her new book, "Juno: Your Karmic Match Made In Heaven"
The Cosmic Intelligence Agency is the brain child of astrologer Julilja Simas. This organization located in Australia serves as a platform for the distribution of astrology and all its various components. Using a clever name and a broad sense of humor, Simas has escalated astrology to a whole new realm of followers. This interview is an archived show from 2009, with your host Chris Flisher.
Although he may not be well known, there is reason to believe we have lost a pioneering genius of the highest order. Paul Laffoley was indeed light years ahead of his time. An artist, an architect, a metaphysician; he encompassed so many of the qualities that define a genius in every sense of the word. There really is no one like him. It may be fair to say that he is from another time way ahead of where we now occupy. Delve into his artwork and try to understand where this man was coming from. Join host, Chris Flisher as he discusses this great artist with his manager, Doug Walla as we remember the imprint this man has left on our planet. Also view www.turningofthewheel.tv and search out the video segments recorded with Paul. This is an artist light years ahead of his time and worthy of our attention.
Many people believe in karma. The idea that we are recycled to fulfill that which we didn't accomplish in our first (or multiple) pass through. What about those of us who suffer with chronic problems such as physical or emotional pain. Are these the symptom of a life spent wrong in the past? Are we back on earth to learn something new? Do we ever get out of the cycle? Who were we and how do we find out? Listen as host, Chris Flisher speaks with Joanne DiMaggio about this interesting theory as discussed and researched in her book of the same title.
Relationships are complex. That is no secret. But what if you knew the Chinese element associated with the people with whom you interact? Supposing the quirks and tingles that come with other people all of a sudden made sense? The clues may lie in the element of the person. In this segment Dondi Dahlin discusses her new book "The Five Elements" and how they impact our relationships with others. Are you a "wood" person trying to make sense of a "water" person? Does "metal" work with "fire?" Each of us has an element that can explain a lot about our personalities and the method in which we interact with others. Join host Chris Flisher as he delves into this ancient tradition with the author.
It has been said that 90% of all people have a sense of humor. Not sure about the other 10%, but one thing is certain, humor is the universal equalizer. It is used to smooth out rough patches in life, it is used by speakers to break the ice before speaking, and it brings levity to what can be a difficult time on the planet. What makes humor universal? Are some astrological signs more prone to humor? Is the quick-thinking Gemini better than say a slow plodding Taurus? Does the Sagittarius tickle our ribs more than a stoic Capricorn? These and other topics are discussed with astrologer and author Frank C. Clifford with your host, Chris Flisher
How we appear to the world is often far different from how we perceive ourselves. Are we delusional or simply unaware? The ascendant or the rising sign is one of the most telling characteristics in the astrology chart. This significant point in the chart is the mask we wear and may determine how our relationships work...or don't. Join host and astrologer, Chris Flisher as he discusses this topic with author and astrologer, Jodie Forrest in this archived show from the vaults.
New York Times best-selling author, David Wilcock comes on to Turning of the Wheel with Chris Flisher to discuss his latest theories and new book, "The Ascension Mysteries." Controversial, yet widely recognized as a pioneer in the esoteric topics of human development and the role of the great cosmos in our evolution, Wilcock is a highly-regarded renegade. Are we seeing clearly? Do we know the truth? Is there far more here that we are too distracted to grasp or comprehend? David urges us to think outside of the box and look through a new and penetrating lens of discovery. Do you believe? Join host Chris Flisher as he probes Wilcock's unique views.
Can astrology illustrate strengths and weaknesses in the human body? Can a tendency towards healthy or unhealthy mental activity be discovered using a personal chart? What are the indicators?

Join host and astrologer, Chris Flisher as he speaks with astrologer and author, Mitch Lewis on the topic of medical astrology and what ails you.
Students of psychology may be aware of Dr. Abraham Maslow and his hierarchy of needs. As humans we are well beyond the challenges of food, clothing, and shelter. Our next challenge is to evolve in a manner that serves our consciousness and our sense of purpose. How do we bridge that gap between the material world in which we currently live into a new world where we are satisfied and happy with our lives and daily living patterns? In this interesting discussion Dr. Amit Goswami discusses his theories put forth in his new book, "Quantum Economics." What we might have thought was impossible may be just down the road a bit and we may be almost there. Listen to what this wise sage has to say in this interview with host Chris Flisher.
Can astrology provide the missing pieces when trying to solve crimes? Is there a special astrological signature that points to the destiny of criminals? Are crimes destined to happen?

Salerno discusses her book, "Exploring Forensic Astrology" with host Chris Flisher in this fascinating and chilling discussion about murder, family, and astrology.
Astrology bears great truth about an individual, but does that determine our preferences? How can it signify your political persuasion? Are we born with a particular political leaning?

In this segment host, Chris Flisher discusses the symbols of certain highly visible political figures and other world events with Lynda.
We are currently in the midst of a powerful Saturn/Neptune square which finds us witnessing one of the most contentious and outrageous political campaigns in modern history. Despite the circus-like characteristics of this political swirl, we are able to see quite clearly the role these two planets play in this event. Saturn, the responsible, duty-bound planet stands in a 90-degree square to the dark and nebulous Neptune. What does this bode? How does this story end? Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher discusses this topic with astrologer, author, and doctoral candidate, Becca Tarnas.
Eclipses have captured the imagination of humans since they were first understood.

Things were much different back then and her spirit and talents are shining brightly here. I offer this as a memoriam to her marvelous big personality and her deep wisdom. I will miss her presence and I urge you all to seek out her books and revel in her deep intellect. R.I.P. Jan and thank you for all that you brought to astrology, love Chris.
We all want to known what is to come. More than any other significant reason, this is why we turn to astrology for answers.

Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with world renowned astrologer, A. T. Mann about the predictive characteristics of astrology.
Astrology can be an extremely effective tool for understanding the character of the individual. The details, aspects, traits, and liabilities are all blatantly evident in the structure of the chart and when properly interpreted can be incredibly helpful in identifying the journey of any person. Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher discusses this subject with astrologer and author, Joseph Crane.
Are we the vestiges of a former life? Do we come back to relive a prescribed journey?

Astrology holds many of the keys that signify the possibility of its existence. Listen as host and astrologer Chris Flisher discusses this with astrologer and author, Joseph Crane.
We are living in a time when uncertainty is rampant. The political cycle is unparalleled. The state of the globe is querulous and our sense of security is certainly in question. Is this a direct result of the power of Saturn, the planet of responsibility and duty coming into a geometrical alignment with the planet neptune, which represents illusion, fantasy, and a skewed sense of reality? Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher, speaks with astrologer and author Mitchell Scott Lewis as we discuss the state of the economy as we enter into a particularly fractious presidential election cycle in the United States.
The Mayan calendar has been a controversial topic among contemporary thinkers. Its origins are ancient and unusual. In this segment host, Chris Flisher discusses this topic with Carl John Calleman.
It is no secret that we are undergoing a dramatic reconstruction of our planet. This applies philosophically, ethically, physically, intellectually, and morally. What does this look like and is it expected? All progress must entail change and yet, our current changes seem more dramatic than in recent memory. Why are we living through such fractious times? Astrologer and host, Chris Flisher discusses this topic with renown astrologer and author, A.T. Mann.
Is there a connection between events and astrology? This may be one of the most puzzling questions that arises when we talk about the science and art of astrology. Is there a connection between the cosmos and events on earth? What happens when murders, or accidents, tragic events, or disasters are supported by an explicit alignment of planetary forces? Can this be real? Is this fate or coincidence? Can astrology be used to paint a picture of what has happened? Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher discusses this topic with author and astrologer, B. D.Salerno and they discuss this topic and her book "Forensics By The Stars." Can this be?
As a fractious election season encroaches on the United States, astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with numerologist, Felicia Bender about the numbers for the fate of the country.

Listen as a discussion unfolds regarding the candidates and the planet in general.
The planet that symbolizes ambition, aggression, action, and anger has turned retrograde and is spinning backwards from our view on earth. This action is combined with Mercury, Saturn and Pluto retrograding as well. All of this backwards motion has a profound impact on all of our trajectories. Are we stunted in our progress? Does this slow our political process? Does this bring new information to light? Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with author and astrologer Arielle Guttman about this experience.
The Akashic Records are a record of our historic journey that spans back through the previous lifetimes in which we existed.

In this segment Chris Flisher recounts his own experiences with Jeanne and together they discuss the process and experience. Jeanne Avery passed away in 2012, but her memory and wisdom live on in this episode.
Shakespeare is known as the father of literature. There are few stories that are not in some way a derivation of the body of work that he wrote. He encompassed the entire human dilemma and incorporated all of the humanistic traits that we still carry today in his characters and plays. He was a prolific creator and observed the human condition through the eyes of one who embraced astrology. In this segment, astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with astrologer and author, Priscilla Costello about her latest book, "Shakespeare and the Stars ~ The Hidden Astrological keys to Understanding the World's Greatest Playwright."
Have you ever had a near death experience? An NDE? Have you ever wondered what happens at that moment? Where do we go? What is it like? Should we be afraid? Or is it a marvelous release from all that weighs us down? In this segment astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with Joel Kaplan who was pronounced dead on the operating table. Then, during a nine-minute time span he left his body and witnessed events, feelings and sensations few of us can only imagine. Perhaps this is not so so bad? Or is it? Are we re-born into another dimension? Listen to what this remarkable story has to reveal.
Using an astrological technique known as primary directions, astrologer Ken Bowser is able to align the path of the United States with incredible accuracy. What does this technique indicate?

Using historical data based on the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Bowser is able to trace significant events in the unfolding of the USA. In this segment, astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with Bowser about his new book "Primary Directions and the Horoscope of the United States."
Once considered the view of pre-new age theorists who postulated that you attract what you think. The phrase "The Power of Positive Thinking" was coined by Norman Vincent Peale. Is it realistic to think positively? Is that a method for avoiding reality or is it a way of living that reaps benefits for those who practice? Can we look at the world through rose colored glasses every day? Are we naive to think that there is no bad in life? Is that counter to the Buddhist tenet that "life is difficult?" Are we kidding ourselves into thinking that only good thoughts will protect us? Listen as host Chris Flisher speaks with editor and author Mitch Horowitz, on this topic as realized through the work of the late optimist, Joseph Murphy.
We all know how beneficial meditation is to our physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being. Yet, despite the multitude of positive results, few of us can muster the patience and tenacity to practice on a regular basis. We know its right for us, yet we can't seem to sit still for the 10 minutes it requires each day. Have we become to device-driven? Are we missing the bigger picture? Are we caught up in our own dramas? Listen as host Chris Flisher discusses this subject with author and psychologist, Nigel Wellings about his book of the same title.
As we stare out across the current American political arena we can hardly believe what we are witnessing. Childish behavior, playground bullying, and vacuaous policies dominate the dialog as politicians strive to separate themselves from the political fold. While the sensationalist characters on stage hold court before an befuddled populous, we can only wonder if we are seeing the truth. Will it emerge? Why is this race so unprecedented? Are we headed towards a disaster or the undoing of the democratic norm? Listen as host and astrologer Chris Flisher, speaks with astrologer and author, Joseph Crane about the current political circus.
Oppositions are an important component of astrology. It is no surprise that they are also vital aspects of the human condition. For every dark period in life, there arises a beacon of light elsewhere. This paradox is part of the human dilemma. Most of us are aware of this juxtaposition and we cope accordingly. However, what happens when the pendulum swings so far in one direction that life seems unbalanced? How do we address the polarity that occurs when opposites stand blatantly in our path? How do we rectify oppositions in our political arena? How do we find equilibrium when diverse opinions drag us in directions we wish to avoid? Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher and psychologist and astrologer Glenn Perry discuss this endless struggle that has faced humankind since the beginning of time.
Many of us are curious as to our destined purpose on earth. Why are we here? What is our goal? Are we destined for a task? Our journey must begin with deep look inside ourselves to come to terms with our own inner voice, potential, and motive. One of the methods for understanding the inner voice comes through a careful and thorough exploration of the individual as manifested through the astrology chart. Rich in imagery, nuance, and potential, the astrology chart provides a blueprint for our lives. It is the instruction manual for a fulfilling life on earth. Listen as astrologer and author, Eric Meyers and host Chris Flisher discuss his new book on The Astrology of Awakening. Far more than a simple tool, astrology provides a roadmap for self discovery and an awareness of our own consciousness.
We have all witnessed the huge swings of the stock market as of late. Are these dips and peaks a harbinger of what is to come? When do we buy? When do we sell?

Morris has been predicting financial trends and offering solutions for decades with phenomenal success. In this segment astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with Grace about what particular astrological aspect we need to heed in order to survive and preserve our investment integrity.
Healing our inner wounds can be a staggering ordeal and one which requires great personal effort. Yet it is possible and quite useful for us to unlock our past discomforts and plunge into a new way of looking at life through a different set of lenses. Small steps taken each day allow us to tap into our personal currencies in methods that are more constructive and meaningful. We can chose to rise above or to wallow in our misfortunes. Join astrologer and host, Chris Flisher as he discusses, author, Lee Milteer's new book, "Reclaim The Magic."
World-renowned astrologer and philosopher, Geoffrey Cornelius discusses the power of astrology that is captured in a moment in time. Rather than trying to predict long-term events, Cornelius contends that the only accurate astrology is that of the moment. We live in the present and the only observation that should be made is that of the present. Cornelius is highly regarded and a bit of a revolutionary in his views on the value of astrology, yet his theories are grounded in reality and not conjecture. Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher discusses this topic with Geoffrey Cornelius.
Those of us who study astrology are firm in our understanding of the logic of this amazing divination tool. Yet, many of us remain skeptical and reserved about its natural order and logic. We know it works and we understand how it operates, but when we see aberrations to the normal process, how do we account for the variables? In this segment, astrologer and host, Chris Flisher discusses some of these anomalies and conflicts with astrologer, Kate Petty in a loose, open discussion about the greater picture.
What do we do when we are alone? Does it feel natural? Do we need others and if so, how do we connect? As our lives take on a distinctly digital texture, we become isolated and removed from the vital connection that is inherent in our DNA. Can we correct this? Is it possible to reprogram ourselves to connect in new ways? In this segment, astrologer and host Chris Flisher speaks with author and psychiatrist, Amy Banks, M.D. about her new book, "Wired To Connect." The good news is we CAN change if we are willing to re-train our brains to adapt accordingly. Listen to this interesting discussion and see if some of the words fit your life.
With its focus on time and cycles; both long and short, astrology provides an incredibly unique view of the world and evolution.

In this segment astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with author and astrologer, Ray Grasse about this unique view of humanity.
Although Vedic astrology uses a different set of rules and vernacular, the results are the same. The character, attributes, assets and liabilities of the individual are clearly depicted in the chart. In this segment, astrologer and host Chris Flisher speaks with world-renowned Vedic astrologer, Komilla Sutton on the philosophy and logic of this fascinating science. Many see Vedic astrology to be a far more accurate picture of the cosmos. There is great wisdom and purpose in all that we do and astrology can be our guide.
We have been asking questions about a "god" since the beginning of humankind. We have a wide array of what that might look like from every culture and society on the planet. Wars, ethic cleansing, and horrors of unimaginable dimensions have occurred in the name of this being, and yet we are still uncertain. Are any of these strains of religion accurate? Is any one better than another? Listen as astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with movie co-producer, Rashmi Khilnani about these and other questions that have perpetuated throughout the course of human history and seem never to change or be answered.
Many of us grew up watching characters casting spells on innocent victims in cartoons or movies. We may have been fascinated by the power brought out by the ritual. Yet, maybe spells actually work? Have you ever wished for something only to have it come true? Did you cast a spell? Do you want to cast one now? What would you ask for and how would you do it? Listen as show host and astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with author Judika Illes about her book on 5000 spells. With so many choices you'll be hard pressed not to find the spell that addresses your desires.
Many of us are fascinated by the secret teachings of the esoteric mystics of the world. These mysterious people seem to dwell in the netherworld of magic, coincidence and spirituality, all in an effort to find the truth. Many have used very unusual methods to find the truth and others have found quite credible tactics for discovering the truth, or, at least, the perceived truth. In this segment, astrologer and show host, Chris Flisher, speaks with author Gary Lachman about his book on this very subject. Are we coming to a time where these secret teachers are finally becoming valid? Do these teachers have insights on the cosmic truth? Are we closer to finding the truth that ever before? These and other questions are part of this interview.
The overwhelming rhetoric of our modern times can be deafening in its delivery. Hatred, condemnation, distraction, and vital are all by-producst of such fractious times. Yet, we still run to our screens for comfort, entertainment, and solace. But what do they provide? How can we hear when we are bombarded by stimuli? What purpose does this constant stream of chatter provide? Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with author Mitra Rahbah about her new book of secular prayers and thoughts on silence. We don't don't know what we're hearing until we turn it off.
Two giant slow moving planets are in a tense square and will be for some time to come. These two planets represent a dichotomy of drive and desire. Saturn wants to resolve and correct, while Neptune wants to obfuscate and distract. How do we reconcile this disparity? When we glance out at the world's stage we see this playing out in every corner where conflict reigns. Listen as host and astrologer speaks with colleagues Erin Sullivan and Michael Lutin on this daunting alignment. Both Lutin and Sullivan are known for their long-term views of the planet and are highly regarded as experts in the observation of the cosmos. This was recorded with a Skype conference call and there are some technical flaws, but the information remains pertinent.
Saturn has long been regarded by astrologers as the heavy. Often seen as the taskmaster, Saturn is the time keeper and the essence of responsibility, duty, and sobriety. While this planet espouses all those characteristics, it is also there for us when we need to do the right thing. In many cases Saturn, may be our best friend and closest ally. In this segment, astrologer and host, Chris Flisher, discusses this and other related topics with world-renowned astrologer, Erin Sullivan.
The "tao" is an ancient term used to describe the fundamental foundation of the universe. In short, it is how we exist and inter-relate with all that surrounds us. Do we engage and live in the now? Are we too pulled by distraction to understand the here and now? What could we gain from being more filly present? All of these questions and more are part of host and astrologer, Chris Flisher's discussion with author Derek Lin whose book, "The Tao of Happiness" explores these concepts in an effort to enlighten and engage the human need for connection to reality.
Following in the footsteps of her legendary father, Jeffrey Wolf Green, Deva Green has taken up the mantle of evolutionary astrology. Using Pluto as the entry point and working with the North and South nodes, Evolutionary astrology traces back the origins of the individual to a point in time where the past and the present intersect. Listen as astrologer and host Chris Flisher discusses this deep conversation with Deva.
Much has been written about the coming age of Aquarius. The topic dates back to the late 1960s when the concept was immortalized in the Broadway production of the controversial theatrical production of "Hair." However, for all of its commercial appeal and success, little has been discussed regarding the actual shift into that age. What does this new age involve? What can we expect to see? Do we evolve into something new? Based on the precession of the equinoxes, the gradual shift into this epoch occurs over great expanses of time. However, it is on its way and astrologer and host Chris Flisher speaks with colleague and astrologer Adrian Duncan in this segment about this momentous event.
When we think of astrology, many of us defer to our Sun signs as the first point of discovery. And rightfully so. The Sun sign is the primary indicator of the individual. It stands as the marker of the personality, the attributes of distinction and the full embodiment of the character. In this segment, astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with colleague and astrologer, Frank C. Clifford about this primary cornerstone of our individuality.
The Nodes are important indicators in the individual astrology horoscope. They signify the past and the future of an individual and carry great information regarding each personal journey. In this segment astrologer ad host, Chris Flisher speaks with evolutionary astrologer Mark Jones about the significance of these points in the study of astrology.
Relationships may be the single most important influence of our time on earth. How we connect and with whom can leave a major imprint on our hearts, our lives, our paths. Are the people we meet supposed to show up? Do we have relationships to learn? Does our ideal match exist? Why do some people leave a bigger footprint on our hearts than others? Are quick dates meant to enlighten us? What about those we don't like? These and many more questions are the subject of this podcast with your host and astrologer, Chris Flisher as he speaks with author and astrologer, Jessica Shepherd about her book titled, "Karmic Dates & Momentary Mates."
Many of us watch the markets with a unnerving sense of concern. We have seen huge gains and just as large losses. They seem to happen with a definitive pattern, and yet, they also appear out of nowhere. What causes these swings? Is there a cyclical pattern to the trends of the financial markets? Does the motion of the planets have an impact on the markets? Astrologer and world-renowned financial expert, Bill Meridian believes there is a distinct connection. Listen as we discuss the current financial climate and what we might expect to see in the coming years. As the world reels from dramatic events across many cultures we may be primed for a massive unparalleled correction. Are we ready?
The occult practices have captured the imagination of countless people down through the ages. Whether it be witchcraft, tarot, Ouija, runes, mysticism, or even astrology; the human mind's capacity for the intrigue of the unknown remains boundless. There is a fascination that penetrates deep into the psyche of each person who has ever asked the question, why. In this archived segment, host, Chris Flisher, speaks with author Mitch Horowitz about his book, "Occult America."
Humankind has been fascinated with the supernatural since time began. Are we alone in this universe? Do external powers and creatures exist? Have we data to support the paranormal? Whay are we interested in this unknown realm? These and many more questions are the subject of this discussion between host Chris Flisher and author Richard Smoley.
In this archived segment from 2010, host Chris Flisher discusses the presence of these two influential planets as they combine their energies in the most expressive and expansive manner. While the location of the planets by sign is not currently accurate in 2015, the influence and effect of them should be readily apparent to all. We should use this time with these planets to express our collective desire to make things right in the world.
When we bump into the same people again and again over a brief course of time what does that mean? When we are reminded of a subject repeatedly, what does that indicate? Coincidences, random events and serendipity are all events that startle us into paying attention. What is the reason? Why are we reminded? Is there an astrological profile that fits these types of events? Listen as astrologer and host, Chris Flisher discusses this subject with astrologer Elisabeth Grace.
Saturn has long been a strong indicator of the health of financial markets. Any time this planet of responsibility comes into a tight angle with any other outer planet, the financial markets begin to tremble. Angles to Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto, present a dangerous mix for a re-ordering of the fiscal world. Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with financial astrologer Mitchell Lewis about this ominous alignment. Is there more to come? When do we see the bottom? Is this a necessary correction or a sign of a sinking collapse of capitalism? Lewis is known for his keen observations about financial markets and planetary alignments.
Are we immersed in a far more intense time than our parents? Is time moving faster or have we simply turned up the volume? In this segment astrologer and host Chris Flisher speaks with astrologer Armand Diaz about this complex time and what it looks like and why. Is this simply Uranus in Aries or are we truly coming undone? Is Pluto reconstructing our whole pattern of life? Listen, learn and discover why.
Even though we may consult our astrology on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, many of us may not know when or why the forecast is so accurate. In this discussion astrologer and host, Chris Flisher discusses the roots or historical basis for astrology with astrologer, Chris Brennan. Over 5000 years ago stargazers could only see as far as Saturn with the naked eye. Yet today we have a much broader view of our solar system and incorporate Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in our consideration of human character. Yet Hellenistic astrology only considers the planets out to the original grouping which ends with Saturn. Is that enough of a view to provide accuracy? Many argue that astrology has become too cluttered with data which clouds the true image of the individual. Is that true? Listen and learn.
In this segment, host and astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with spiritual advisor, Selina Maitreya on the use of astrology for spiritual growth. Astrology is one of the oldest divination tools known to humankind and its time-tested information can be incredibly useful in expanding one's outlook regarding their spiritual journey. Listen and learn about this side of astrology.
Do individual signs of the zodiac have certain health issues? Does a Taurus have unique qualities over a Gemini? Do Aries concoct more cerebral injuries than say a Capricorn? These and many more questions will be discussed in this segment as host Chris Flisher interviews medical astrologer, Diane Cramer. In addition, they will discuss the use of cell salts as they apply to the individual signs. Do the cell salts address the health challenges of each sign appropriately? Learn what works best for your sign.
The planet that brings us harmony and the essesnce of love and affection turns retrograde every 18 months and remains in that direction for approximately 40 days and 40 nights (sound familiar.) Like most retrogrades it is not a time of panic or hand-wringing, but rather an opportunity to reflect on relationships, projects, and how we love each other. Listen as astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with Arielle Guttman, author of "Venus Star Rising" on this cyclical event that allows us to reconsider our options and act accordingly....or not.
We are standing on the cusp of a major shift. The shift is occuring on all levels; socially, politically, financially, environmentally, and spiritually. How do we mitigate this shift? What does it take for us to survive AND thrive through these enormous changes headed our way. There is a price to pay for all of us, but there is also redemption woven into the fabric of recovery. When we are best informed, we are best prepared to adapt and evolve. Living, acting, investing, maintaining, and sharing locally may be the secret to our individual growth and survival. Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with astrologer and visionary Michael St. Clair about this remarkably broad and far-reaching subject. Be prepared.
In this archived podcast, astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with astrologer and author, Joseph Crane about surviving Pluto. This coming week NASA will arrive within viewing distance of the illusive planet, Pluto for the first time in history. This is a momentous occasion and worthy of our collective attention. Over 3 billion miles away, Pluto has never been within our grasp--until now. The New Horizons spacecraft was launched in 2006 and has been traveling since to reach this destination where it will send photos and data back to earth. In this segment Joseph and Chris talk about the astrological ramifications of Pluto and its archetypal relevance. Pluto is no small planet within the realm of astrology and our arrival at this planet, at this point in time, is indeed noteworthy. What will this bring to us? How will we view the universe from this point forward? What does Pluto offer? How will it affect you?
We know little of our place in the universe as it swirls around us on a daily basis. What if we could see, in real time, the motion of the solar system? The movement of the planets? The rise and set of the Sun? And what if we could see it in the palm of our hand? How would that shift our view of who we are, where we are, and why we are? The Cosmic Watch is such an application. Precise, detailed, gloriously presented, this application allows us to see and answer all of the aforementioned questions. A truly remarkable experience to behold. Join host, Chris Flisher, as he discusses this amazing application with Markus Humbel of The Cosmic Watch application. This may be quite unlike anything you have ever seen before. It may also compel you to look at your place in the swirl of the universe through a much different set of eyes.
Motivation is the key behind the planet Mars. Agression, activity, ambition, and anger are also attributes of the fiery planet. We all have Mars in our charts somewhere and this placement determines what motivates us personally. What drives you? What is it that you want to accomplish? What pushes your buttons? What compels you? On a grander scale, Mars is seen as the motivator behind global agression, especially when it is in a difficult angle to significant planets. In this segment from the Turning of the Wheel archives, host, Chris Flisher discusses this ornery and motivating presence in our lives. It is as relevant today as it was when it was recorded.
While our collective focus may center on our celestial neighborhood, we may overlook some meaningful new orbs that now fall into our range of influence. As we evolve our experience becomes richer and more expansive. In this archived segment, Chris Flisher speaks with Henry Seltzer about the planet Eris. Considered by scientists to be a dwarf planet, Eris is larger than Pluto and revolves around our Sun. It bears noting and Henry has been the first to write and recognize this planet. With an orbit of 558 years, this is a slow-moving orb whose influence can be felt through multiple generations. Representing strife and discord, we may begin to understand this influence as a method for facing our common enemies, which may, in fact, be ourselves.
While it may seem far away, the year 2020 will be here before we know it. And why is this year significant? Is it something about the repetitive number? Is there a planetary alignment worth noting? All of the above and more. The year 2020 will herald in a time of fruition. We will be faced with the consequences of what we have wrought leading up to this momentous time. Astrologically it will entail Saturn and Pluto conjunct in Capricorn and the time for righteous self-cleansing will be in full force. Listen as astrologer and show host, Chris Flisher speaks with numerologist, Michael Fierro about what the numbers indicate.
Why do certain buildings look more pleasing than others? Why do paintings line up the way they do? Why do nautilus shells and trees have certain characteritsics? The list goes on and on, actually. At the root of it all is geomtery and its nature. They are all based on the most amazing geometrical concept of the golden mean or section. This mathematical construct has been in existence since Euclid and it has taken its place in all the great pieces of art and architecture. The golden ratio also is called the golden mean or golden section. Other names include extreme and mean ratio medial section, divine proportion, divine section, golden proportion, golden cut, and golden number. In this segment Chris Flisher interviews Scott Olsen about this fascinating topic and his book by the same title.
Whether we like it or not, we all have a part of us that is wounded. How we discover that may be through personal discovery, events in our lives, people, careers, or the departure of loved ones. In all cases an imprint is left on our conscience and on our souls. This is part of our human journey also known as the human condition. Join astrologer Chris Flisher as he discusses with astrologer Lynn Bell the planetoid, Chiron who represents this part of ourselves that we must address in order to heal. When we know how Chiron affects us we can address this part of our lives with wholeness and calm as we evolve towards a greater awareness of our strengths and weaknesses.
Astrology has not changed much in the last 5000 years. We have added a few new terms and such, but the basic premise and rules still apply and are as accurate and revealing as before. What has changed is society and the modern world. With that in mind, writer and publisher, Matt Savinar seeks to address contemporary topics through the lens of the astrologer's eyes. Using the time-tested approach of astrology, Hexagon hopes to address topics of current concern. The NSA, Edward Snowden, Hip-Hop, and politics are all subjects into which the magazine will delve. New, contemporary and written by a host of new faces on the astrology scene, Hexagon Astrology premieres in August. Join host and astrologer, Chris Flisher as he discusses this subject with Matt Savinar.
Deep in the jungles of the Amazon, natives have been concocting a heady mixture of indigenous plants that combine to create a mind-expanding experience. Similar in some ways to LSD or peyote, ayahuasca delivers an experience unlike any other. Its roots go deep into the history of the region and few actually understand its beginnings. Used by the government of Brazil to help prisoners and others, this mixture may hold the key to true human awakening. Does it work? Is it for everyone? What can we expect? Listen as Chris Flisher interviews Rak Razam about this incredible and provocative experience.

In September of 2014, I finally met Jeff Jawer in person. I was immediately struck by his warmth and magnanimity. He was such a kind and gentle soul. I suggested that we get together and talk for my show. After the conference had passed, I heard from Jeff saying he'd like to have a conversation about astrology. I arranged for him to be the first guest on my TV show premiere. We connected via Skype which you can see at www.turningofthewheel.tv. I had a great time speaking with him. The TV version is a little choppy, but that's Skype, not Jeff. Days passed and I heard in March that he was in hospice. I had no idea at the time that we spoke that he was so close to his final chapter. I was completely shocked to learn of his untimely passing. No one would know that he was ill and yet he never let on. I wrestled with the idea of airing this interview out of respect to his family. I ran the idea past several other astrologers and his wife and children and they thought I should air it. So here it is in audio-only version. Jeff Jawer, thank you for all you did for astrology. We are all in your debt.
Author Benebell Wen has a deep understanding of the relevance of the tarot. She draws on a knowledge of several divination tools, including astrology, numerology, and feng shui. In this approach, her understanding of the magical deck is far deeper and more holistic. What does the tarot reveal? How is it relevant to our daily lives? Is it accurate? Or do we fulfill the prophecy as it is presented? Join astrologer and talk show host, Chris Flisher as he discovers this unique angle on the mystical art of the tarot deck.
A little-known alignment in astrology can provide enormous insight into your hidden self. Representing a shadow consciousness of an individual, the antiscia can be quite revealing regarding your true purpose and why you have chosen the path you have. Do you have this alignment? Are you living your life accordingly? Join Chris Flisher as he speaks with astrologer, Kate Petty about this unusual data point in astrology.
How many of us know that the standard playing card deck holds the promise of our destiny? The standard 52-card draw, found in casinos and most modern homes, is also a divination tool that dates back thousands of years. We all have a card based on our birthday. Much like astrology, the Cards of Destiny portray, with uncanny accuracy, the characteristics of each of us. What is your card? How does your birthday map to a particular card? What is your number? What suit are you? You may be surprised at how accurate this tool is. Listen as Astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with Mary Anne Costerella about this amazing divination tool. You will be amazed at the precision.
Noted astrologer and thinker A.T. (Tad) Mann has developed a tarot deck based on astrological symbols and meanings. How do these two remarkable discovery tools work together? The tarot has long been considered a divination tool for prediction. Astrology draws from the same well of knowledge, yet they have never been used together in this fashion. Mann has designed and developed his own deck of tarot cards that allow users to glance at their past, present, and future with uncanny accuracy. Listen as Chris Flisher interviews Tad Mann.
Is there a topic other than love that people want to understand? Do you know that there is a specific astrological signature (pattern) that identifies the larger financial markets? Why do markets rise and fall and is there a cyclical link? Astrologer, Mitchell Scott Lewis spent years on the merchantile floor of the New York Stock Exchnage and was able to gather years of empirical data supporting a common theme and pattern in the astrology of the times when the market rose and when it dropped. Listen as Chris Flisher speaks with this interesting astrologer about his theories.
In this segment astrologer, Chris Flisher, speaks with Joni Patry,, a highly-regarded Vedic astrologer. In the eyes of Westerners, Vedic astrology appears as a complex swirl of long, unpronouceable terms and unusual terms. Despite its apparent complexity Vedic astrology offers a far more granular view of the individual's chart. This precision can be an invaluable aid in making key life decisions such as child-bearing, marriage, or career adjustments. Joni is an incredibly well-versed font of information regarding astrology. She started out as a Western astrologer, moved into Uranian astrology and then settled into Vedic astrology as her course of preference. She is a fascinating guest and quite positive about what many think of as a dire predictive tool.
As we step into an ever-increasing narcissitic realm, we might be wise to spend more of our time in listening to what others have to say. This does not mean "like" a person's breakfast or their day at the beach, but rather embrace the true human connection that can only come from real face-to-face interaction. The virtual world will not allow that. Also if we are to evolve we must learn to love ourselves AS ourselves not measured against someone else's acheivements. We all have special gifts. We need to recognize them, not in the context of comparison, but in the solitude of self. Once you truly figure out who you are and what you are doing; only then can you truly love another. Community is the only thing that will save us and that cannot happen virtually. Listen as Chris Flisher discusses this topic which is quite relevant for out current climate.
Believe it or not we all possess the power to create. It is part of our DNA and yet many of us choose to ignore that, or procrastinate, or deny that this ability exists. The truth is we all have this talent; it is simply a matter of waking it up. Author Anthonu Alvarado explores this hidden potential in his book "D.I.Y. Magic" and shows how to awaken that inner artist. Through a series of interesting outlandish and insightful exercises we can discover the inner-child and express freely. Listen as host, Chris Flisher speaks with the guest about this fascinating topic. Come and find your hidden jewel.
In this segment, astrologers Chris Flisher and Dietrech Pessin discuss what it feels like to be a cardinal sign from a first-hand viewpoint. The cardinal signs are : Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Since we are immersed in a very cardinal period in astrology, this topic is especially relevant. Since 2012 onward the major cardinal axis of the zodiac has been triggered by a number of significant planets moving through those signs. This is indicative of major new initiatives and starts. Since Chris is an Aries and Dietrech is a Libra, these times are rich with experience and insight. The outer planets move slowly and change is gradual, but profound, nonetheless. Listen and see if you can relate to what this energy feels like.
The Yod is fairly obscure aspect in astrology. It is comprised of two planets that are in sextile aspect (60 degrees) and then linked back to a center point of a third planet at 150 degrees also known as the quincunx. The point of the yod is often referred to as the "finger of god." This aspect can be quite a powerful indicator for the indiviual with this aspect in their horsocope chart. It represents a challenge to be met and bettered through the course of one's life. When one understands the attributes of such a point, they are better prepared to face the challenges inherent in such an aspect. Chris Flisher speaks with fellow astrologer Maurice Fernandez on this intriguing topic.
In the summer of 2015, NASA's spacecraft, New Horizons will be within reach of the edge of our solar system neighborhood. Launched in 2006, New Horizon has been traveling 30,00 miles an hour and has covered the 3 billion-mile trek to this outpost of the empire. With the arrival of this remarkable feat of engineering, humankind will finally be in touch with this most mysterious and dark side of our zodiacal realm. Pluto represents far more than a simple orb in the celestial field. It represents our deepest subconscious underpinnings. This is truly our shadow as described by Carl Jung. In our effort to reach Pluto we are literally, symbolically, and metaphically touching our darkest secrets. Does this bode for a new beginning? Listen as I speak with author Richard Grossinger about this amazing point in time.
Eclipses have always held the attention of humankind since the beginning of time. By virtue of their mathematical precision, solar and lunar eclipses force us to accept a power larger than our own. While the natural alignment of our two most influential planetary orbs is truly a marvel of astronomy, they also present a shift in our consciousness. Our sometimes subtle dance with the universe is firmly realized at the time of the eclipses as we feel their impact. The coming eclipses of spring 2015 are more than just another set of eclipses. Staging at 29 degrees Pisces, the first of the eclipses of the spring 2015, occurs at the last point of the zodiac, indicating an end of some sort. With the beginning of the zodiac on the very next day, we can only envision this as a time of endings and beginnings. Truly we are on a major transformative threshold.
The great psychologist Carl Jung was a pioneer in the study of astrology. Erin Sullivan is a world-renowned astrologer and she discusses this fascinating topic with astrologer and radio host, Chris Flisher. Many of the foundational tools discovered in modern day psychology find their source in astrology. While working with colleague, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung discovered that an individual horoscope presented information that was incredibly accurate. He also saw how it influenced his thought process. Modern day Jungian's are deeply influenced by astrology.
Our thoughts can pre-dominate our daily lives. But are they productive and useful? Or are they toxic and negative? This is a significant shift in our perception and relationship to our minds. The method we use to approach a topic is critical to how we respond to it. Listen as astrologer and radio host, Chris Flisher speaks with world-renowned shamanic healer and author Sandra Ingerman about this important topic. It can literally change your mind.
Two astrologers with opposing signs discuss astrology from the opposing views as seen through the eyes of an Aries male with a Cancer Moon and a Capricorn female with Libra Moo. This wild mix of astrological cardinality has got to be one of the most enteraining segments on Turning of the Wheel. Listen as Chris Flisher and debra Clement discuss, cajole, and banter their way through a conversation about astrology.
Neptune has not been in Pisces since around 1850. Things looked much differently back then than they do now, but similarities do remain. What are they? A move towards a spiritual center? A tribal collective? An evolution of the human subconscious is unfolding as we witness another major step in human evoloution. We are all part of this awakening. Listen as astrologers Chris Flisher and Michael Lutin discuss this deep and revealing topic. It is profound and insightful. You may go away pondering your own beliefs and long-held fantascies as they come to the surface in your own life once again.
Astrology has long been regarded as the first form of psychology known to humankind. The parallels are unmistakeable and relevant. There can be little doubt that astrology holds the key to many of the quirks of the individuals personality, and that they are readily apparent in the chart of any person. A skilled astrologer can spot the individual from their birth data immediately. Yet, psychology gets so much of the credit. Why is that? Astrology is as accurate as the individual and still psychology seems to be the go-to method. Listen as astrologer Chris Flisher speaks with colleague astrologer and psychologist Glenn Parry in this archived radio show from 2009.
Eclipses are major events in the cosmos. The exact alignment of distant orbs brings logic to the complex world and universe. With mathematical precision, the alignment often shows an accuracy that is uncanny and breath-takingly real. Join astrologer Chris Flisher, and he speak with The Leo King about eclipses and what they bode through the lens of astrology.
This archived show from 2008 features psychologist and author, Dr. Betty Kovacs who discusses our contemorary approach to the prospect of death. What happens at the end? Is it a new beginning? Is it a release? How do those who are left behind cope? Dr. Kovacs is a world-renowned expert on the topic of facing this innate human journey. Her insights, commentary, and suggestions are key to addressing this topic in the gentlest, yet compassionate and positive manner. Join astrologer, Chris Flisher as he speaks with Dr. Kovacs about the miracle of death.
In this segment, astrologer Chris Flisher speaks with the director of the CIA, the Cosmic Intelligence Agency, Julija Simas. The mind is a fascinating repository of images, memories, impressions and inherent knowledge. How do we tap into that? What does astrology say about your ability to do so? With such a wealth of information at our disposal why do we ignore it? Astrologer and radio host, Chris Flisher, hosts this interesting segment on Turning of the Wheel weekly podcast.
Fire, earth, air and water represent the four major points of the astrological wheel and indicate a basic chemical compatibility between people as well as the tone of the individual. When you understand the elemental vibration of an individual you can appreciate their thought process and characater. In this archived segment from 2011, astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with collegue, Eric Myers about this important data point in astrology.
The Ascendant in astrology is the point in the chart that illustrates our outward appearance to the world. This is also known as the rising sign. The rising sign indicates which sign the Sun was in at the moment of birth. For two hours each day the Sun occupies a position of the zodiac. As the day progresses the sign changes on the horizon. In this discussion, astrologer, Chris Flisher discusses this topic with the late world-renowned astrologer, jeanne Avery. This interview was recorded in April of 2009, shortly before her passing.
In astrology, a progressed chart is one of the key indicators for predictions. In this method, Sun moves forward one dgree per year of life. A person may start out as one sign but they "progress" to another sign over the course of their lives. By contrast, the progressed Moon oves one degree forward each month. Both of these points offer significant insight into the role of the individual at the time. Astrologer, Chris Flisher discusses this with Janet Booth, astrologer and author of "Janet's Plan-its ~ An Astrological Planner."
In this segment, astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with author John Martineau about his book on coincidence. We are all witnesses to such events and yet when they occur with such stunning relevance we have to wonder how and why. Are they simply random taps from the universe or do they foretell of something else? Should we pay special attention to them, or simply laugh them off as novelties? Author John Martineau has done considerable research on this topic and is no stranger to coincidence. Listen and learn about this facinating subject and perhaps you'll witness more coincidences in your life.
Often considered to be a more accurate form of astrology, the Vedic approach to the alignment of the planets also has a far more fore-boding quality to it. And although it is technically more in line with the actual position of the plants in our cosmic neighborhood, based on the precession of the equinoxes, it can often reveal the troubles that may lie ahead for an individual. This raises the question of whether or not an individual, in fact, follows that route based on the subconscious understanding of the potential of the chart. While this precision is indeed amazing, it can also be somewhat overly relevatory. Nonetheless, the subject is fascinating. Listen as Chris Flisher interviews world-renowned Vedic astrologer Joni Patry. Joni has a unique position becauuse she started out understanding western astrology before migrating to the Vedic method.
What if you were given a set of forecasting tools that enabled you to link events past and present with uncanny accuracy? What if these tools could be applied to your relationships, business, and daily affairs? Dietrech Pessin's pioneering volume, Lunar Shadows III, offers student and professional astrologers a series of remarkably simple, yet effective, tools for predicting events. This is an inspiring book packed with invaluable observations, accurate forecasting aids and practical real-life case studies. In this much-anticipated revised and expanded work, you will discover how to plan work projects, recognize relationship patterns, and identify major life events as they unfold. You'll learn how events in our lives are seeded at eclipses and develop into predictable, interlinking moon phases. You'll discover the predictive power of moon phases and eclipses.
Mercury has been given a bad rap. Blamed for all sorts of mis-haps three times a year, is Mercury the devil? Or does he simply force us to re-consider our choices? What looks like danger might be what saves you. Listen as Chris Flisher and Erin Sullivan discuss this controversial little planet.
Galileo was the well-known Italian physicist who played a major role in the forward discovery of the universe. He is considered the father of modern observational astronomy. Although this is not the real Galileo it is Michael Galileo, an explorer who has spent a life devoted to understanding time, motion, space, and distance. His remarkable discoveries are indeed valuable and hence he has adopted the psuedonym, Galileo to emphasize his work and interests. In this fascinating segment we discuss time and effect.
The afterlife has been a mystery to humankind since time began. Since we don't really know what is on the other side, we can't prepare ourselves completely for the journey. In this segment astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with colleague and author, A.T. Mann about reincarnation and its presence in the astrology of an individual. Mann's research draws conslusions based on what appears in the astrology charts of individuals. This intriguing conversation sheds new insights into what we might expect and whether or not we have returned from beyond.
When events occur, there is a distinct corelation between what happens and how the events unfold. Is this synchronicity or is this the result of a divine order manifesting? How do time and place have an impact on the outcome? What repeats and what doesn't? These and many more topics come up in this interesting talk about the order of the universe. Listen as Chris Flisher interviews fellow astrologer, Laurence Hillman in this intriguing interview.
Synchronicity is often mis-labeled as serendiptity or coincidence, when in fact, the presence of synchronistic events in your life are largely tied to a collection of sequential events that may be far more meaningful and relevant than we imagine. Listen as astrologer and radio host Chris Flisher discusses this topic with accliamed author and astrologer, Ray Grasse
