Cosmic Cousins: Recent Episodes
Jeff Hinshaw
Cosmic Cousins is a ritual podcast released every New and Full Moon. Hosted by Jeff Hinshaw, Cosmic Cousins is dedicated to honoring the interconnectedness of our universal family through: embodied health, self-discovery, and deeper learning.
Pisces Full Moon I contemplate. I surrender. I release.
Particular to this lunation, this is the first Full Moon in the sign of Pisces since Saturn entered Pisces back in March of this year. This Full Moon offers an opportunity to reflect on what Saturn in Pisces is here to teach us. Whatever placements you have in Pisces are moving through an initiation of maturation, responsibility and slow-growth (from now until February of 2026). For those moving through their Saturn Return in Pisces, pay particular attention to the messages and occurrences that happen on and around this Full Moon. What are the bigger spiritual themes unfolding in your life? How might your more deeply commit to your magical, spiritual and creative gifts?
On this weeks Pisces Full Moon podcast episode, Luke Simon (Pisces Rising) reads a passage from their book Venus Juice. Luke recently opened up a new healing studio in Kingston, New York (just two hours upstate from New York City). The studio is called North Node, named after the North Node of Fate, a point in astrology that offers insight around your soul's evolution in this lifetime. Check it out!
In addition, on this weeks' podcast episode, my friend Dean Stahl (Virgo Sun, Pisces Moon) shares with us some sweet reflections on Pisces and it's connection to the Page of Cups in the tarot. If you don't know Dean already, I am excited to introduce you. Dean holds an MA in Clinical Psychology, and is an affirmative soul therapist, which means: POSTMODERN FEMINIST + GENDER & TRANS AFFIRMING + MULTICULTURAL + SPIRITUAL
And finally, on this week's podcast, Adriana Marie Rizzolo (Pisces Venus), shares with us their reflections on the Esoteric Phrase for Pisces –
"I leave my [Cosmic] Home, and turning back I save."
***In my own practice, I upgraded the phrase 'Father's Home' to 'Cosmic Home'. Adriana talks about both of these phrases and their relationship to soul-family and Pisces healing.
*New Offering: This upcoming Scorpio Season, Adriana has a new offering that I am playing a small collaborative role in. She is leading a 5-month Dark Goddess Doula Training for an intimate group of 6 humans who desire to expand their capacity for pleasure and business. At some point in the training, participants will get to work with me to learn more about Black Moon Lilith placement. If you'd like to learn more, check out Adriana's website.
Work with Jeff Hinshaw One-on-One: One of the most rewarding parts of my offering as an astrologer is connecting with students + clients from around the world. We gather for one-on-one conversations over Zoom. If you are looking for greater support on your journey, then I would be honored to hold space for you in this way, through a: * deep-dive astrology reading * tarot healing sessions, or * 12-week (3-month) mentorships starting this Autumn 2023.

Leo New Moon I create. I desire. I will.
This week with us on the Cosmic Cousins podcast, it is my complete honor to welcome the legendary astrologer, Arielle Guttman. Arielle has been a practicing astrologer for 40 years, and dedicated most of her astrology practice over the last 20 years towards studying Venus and her cycles. She is a master teacher and author on Venus Cycles, Venus Retrograde, the Venus Cazimi, and the 5-pointed Pentagram that Venus forms in the sky. She is the astrologer known for coining the widely used term "Venus Star Point".
In our conversation we discuss the following: * Venus Cazimi – "Cosmic Kiss" * Venus Star Points * The Pentagram in Venus’ Cycle * Venus Retrograde * Venus Headpoint * Venus + the Moon * Venus and the Star card * Practical ways to work with Venus * and much more!
In addition:
'Cosmic Cousins' listener Adrianne Blanks recently released an original song called "Appalachian Manifesting Song" with a music video to go along with it. The video is themed around a Lammas ritual filmed at golden hour on a mountain top in Marshall, NC. On this week's podcast episode, in honor of the Leo New Moon, we listen to this song to closeout a meditation. I hope you enjoy.

Cancer New Moon I feel. I transform. I move forward.
The Cancer New Moon is upon us. This powerful lunation, occurring on July 17.
How might you let go of the shackles that bind you to shame and fear and move forward with greater love, acceptance and healership?
One significant aspect to be aware of during this New Moon is its opposition to Pluto in Capricorn.
Adding to the intensity of this lunation, the North Node of Fate has just shifted into fiery Aries, signifying a new year-and-half of evolution around Aries themes.
Venus Retrograde in Leo
July 22 – September 3, 2023
Trust in the purifying power of fire to cleanse and restore. True love will reveal itself over time.
Cancer Affirmations:
To further anchor this energy, I offer you an affirmation to carry with you during this New Moon:
"I honor and nurture the ebb and flow of my emotions. I embrace my personal power and release what no longer serves my soul's growth. I trust in the divine guidance that flows through me and surrender to the transformative energy of this New Moon."
Special Guests:
– On this episode, Meire Santos brilliantly shares her perspective on the zodiac sign of Cancer through an esoteric, soul-centered lens.

Capricorn Full Moon I build. I plan. I overcome.
Hosted by Jeff Hinshaw
As a balance to Cancer Season, the Capricorn Full Moon offers a practical vantage point for wide contemplation. On this podcast episode we explore: Capricorn as a Collective Earth sign, Saturn in Pisces, and Pluto in Capricorn.
In addition, meet Shannon Watts, our guest this week on the podcast. Shannon is a mother of five and founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. Shannon was recently named Time 100 Most Influential People of 2023 for her work in gun safety advocacy leading one of the largest Mom activism groups on the planet. Over the past decade, this grassroots organization has changed the political calculus, sidelined the NRA, and passed hundreds of gun safety bills at all levels of government.
Shannon is living her truth as a powerful leader (Capricorn Sun) deeply connected to spirituality (Pisces Moon) looking out for the care and protection of families (Cancer Rising). On this week's podcast episode, enjoy an hour conversation in which we discuss Shannon's birth chart and dive into major transits. As an example, when Shannon founded Moms Demand Action, Pluto in Capricorn was conjunct her natal Capricorn Sun. So powerful! You are not going to want to miss this conversation.
Some of the other topics covered during our time: – Obstacles, Challenges & Perseverance as a Capricorn – Founders Syndrome: Separating One’s identity from an Organization – The Relational Awareness of Zodiac Signs, ex: Cancer as Personal Water – Cardinal signs as Activist: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn – Acting in the world with integrity – “Mid-Life Crisis” Points: Uranus & Saturn Oppositions – Asteroid Pallas conjunct Shannon's Pisces Moon Midheaven – Navigating Complex Family Dynamics – Setting boundaries with mom & family – Healing Intergenerational Trauma – The Intersection of Astrology, Spirituality & Social Justice – What is means to be a “Joyful Warrior” – Empowering Women to take Leadership Roles – and more!

This week there are two podcasts episodes for your listening pleasure. The usual Cosmic Cousins episode, and a bonus episode. This week I had the honor of being the guest on the Weaving your Web podcast with host Ashley River (Taurus Sun, Leo Moon, Scorpio Rising). The episode is titled "Weaving with the Cosmos: Honoring the Asteroid Goddesses with Jeff Hinshaw". In our conversation we talk all about the Asteroids and the current Leo energy lighting up some beautiful inner child and creativity expression healing for the collective.
Right now I have time-slots available for both deep-dive astrology readings and tarot healing sessions this July and August. I also have a few openings for a deep-dive mentorship for this Autumn. I would be so honored to hold space for your journey in this way.
Wishing for you an empowering Capricorn Full Moon.

Taurus New Moon
I ground. I receive. I stabilize.
Something particular to this New Moon is that it is occurring at 28º of Taurus. A little birdie shared with me this week that this is right with the Pleiades Star Cluster (found at about 29º of Taurus). So we explore the Pleiades on this episode, as well as the recent ingress of Jupiter entering Taurus.

Scorpio Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse
I process. I attune. I release.
On this podcast episode, we explore the Taurus-Scorpio polarity, talk about Fixed Water, listen to a poem read by Jolie Kobrinsky (Taurus Sun, Scorpio Neptune), owner of the Elektren Studio, who sent me this poem titled Well of Grief by David Whyte. We also discuss Pluto in Aquarius.
To read along with podcast episodes, you can always Sign-up for the Mailing List + Newsletter.
Here is a taste of some of what I write in newsletters:
The Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is upon us. Emotions may feel heightened. Psychological understandings may resurface. The desire for intimacy and transformation may feel strong. During this eclipse portal, we are offered the opportunity to process unresolved emotions, to heal and release that which longer serves, and to gain insight into our deeper motivations. Be gentle with the process.
With the Sun, Mercury, Vesta, Uranus and the North Node of Fate in polar sign of Taurus, we are also being invited into the body and into nature. From a somatic perspective, Scorpio, as a deeply feeling and intuitive water sign, connects us to trauma stored in the body. A holistic way to work with this is to tune into and heal the body through psychic awareness. Physical symptoms like chronic pain, headaches, and fatigue, emotional symptoms like anxiety, depression, and flashbacks, and behavioral symptoms like addiction, self-harm, and avoidance may all be exasperated at this time by the Scorpio Full Moon.
For some of us, this is a time of stepping into our power. If you are a facilitator, therapist, or healer, you may find that the individuals you are holding space for at this time are really moving through some deep unprocessed emotions. This may require you to call upon deeper resources within and around yourself, and to tap into creative potential in order to bring about transformation. Others of us may be moving through a deep soul purge. The image of a salamander being devoured by a snake comes to mind. Although a violent image, it is a natural process of nature. Either way, whatever it is you are moving through or experiencing this eclipse season, how might you trust that it is all here for the evolution of you?
Scorpio Question for Reflection:
How might I gift myself extra space to rest and process all that is arising?
Scorpio Affirmation:
I surrender and release all that no longer serves me.
I trust in the natural unfolding of life.
May this Full Moon bring you deeper healing and a renewed sense of self.

Aries New Moon
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
I advocate. I initiate. I uplift.
The Aries New Moon Eclipse is upon us. This is a potent time to embrace new beginnings and courageously blaze forward with purpose. With the Sun and Moon meeting at the Anaretic degree of Aries (29º), we are being called to connect to the most mature expression of Aries – the grounded warrior – one who takes bold action in the name of growth, love and expansion. Use the Emperor in the tarot to meditate on this soul-potential for Aries.
This eclipse is is the first eclipse in the sign of Aries in roughly 8 years. This eclipse marks the beginning of the Aries-Libra eclipse cycle, which will extend through 2025. This signifies the activation of the North Node of Fate in Aries. This is a reminder to pause. To take a deep breath. The Aries parts of our chart and our heart will be growing over the next 2 years, so there is no need to rush the process. However, you may find fateful realignments or sudden flashes of insight that come to you over the next two weeks that will indicate to you the ways in which you are being called to step into your personal power more now than ever before. The Aries North Node encourages you to persevere, to be the leader of your own life and to initiate change in the direction of greater consciousness.
*How might you more fully embrace your unique identity?
How might you be more true to yourself?
In what ways are you being called to take bold action
in the pursuit of greater healing?*
On this Aries New Moon podcast episode we are joined by special guest Bruna Maia. In our conversation we cover the following topics:
- Life as an Aries Sun in 9th House
- Chiron + Jupiter in Aries
- Understanding the Anaretic degree
- Aries North Node
- Aries Esoteric Phrase
- Lilith in Leo, and more!
A bit about Bruna: She has been studying Archetypal, Psychological & Esoteric Astrology since 2017 and has a full-time Astrology practice in Northern California. She was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and offers Astrology readings in 3 languages: English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Bruna is an Aries Sun, Leo Moon, Cancer Rising and is a member of Heidi Rose Robbins Astrology Team. You can follow Bruna on instagram at @bru_maia.
Readings: As far as readings, right now I have just a few more time-slots available for this Spring. So if you know you'd like a deep-dive astrology reading or tarot healing sessions over the next two months, you can use the links provided to book a session. Holding space one-on-one for readings is one of my most favorite parts of my job. It is always such an honor to get to connect with you in this way.
Mentorships: As far as 6-month mentorships, Spring and Summer mentorships are booked up! I am initiating those over the next month. If you filled out an application or sent me an email in regards to mentorships and you haven't heard back yet, thank you for your patience. I am a bit behind on emails because of the retreat and Eclipse season. I will be getting back to you by the end of the week.
I am also accepting applications for mentorships that will start this Autumn. If you know you would like to work with me long-term later this year, please send me an email or fill out an application to be put on the Wait List. Wishing for you an illuminating Aries New Moon Eclipse. OTHER LINKS

Libra Full Moon
I collaborate. I compromise. I choose.
On the Libra Full Moon podcast episode we are joined by 3 different practitioners who all have major Libra placements in their birth chart:
- *First up, my dear friend and soul sister Adriana Rizzolo (Libra Mars, Pallas, Saturn, and Pluto) joins us for a Libra conversation out in nature in beautiful, sunny Ojai. We reflect on our experience from this past week attending Heidi Rose Robbins' Radiant Life Retreat. We also talk about many Libra themes: polarities + extremes, rightful relationship, and spirituality through the lens of Libra.
Adriana is the founder of Body Temple Church – an ecstatic, emotional, and embodied somatic and spiritual approach to healing trauma, shame, and disconnect from our hearts, bodies, and souls’ purpose. 2. Also on this week's podcast episode, the incredible Rebecca Scolnick speaks on Libra through the lens of two numbers (7 & 11) and how they relate to the Libran theme of equanimity. Rebecca is a queer human lady (she/her) with Moon in Libra, who uses magic and storytelling to support unlearning work and inspire new meaning-making. Rebecca is the recent author of 'The Witch's Book of Numbers: Enhance Your Magic with Numerology'. Connect with her online at rebeccascolnick.com. 3. And finally, my dear friend, student, and teacher Leticia Kagan (Libra Sun) joins us on the podcast this week to reflect on the esoteric phrase for Libra. She also offers up a Libra Full Moon song of gratitude. Leticia is an Artist, a gifted Healer, a meditation teacher, and a certified & licensed Esthetician. She is based out of Chicago and I highly recommend her offerings. She is an angel in my life who offered caretaking to my dog Biji this past week while I was away on retreat. Here is a photo of her with Biji out at Multnomah Falls. :)*
Life UpdateS:
This past week I was gifted the incredible opportunity to attend the “Radiant Life Retreat” as a part of @heidiroserobbins astrology team. I am forever grateful + changed. To gather with others in a sacred circle. To explore past hurts, wounds, and traumas in a loving container. To be given the permission to create, express, and receive. To be held by community amidst death + transformation is crucial. I needed this past week for so many reasons. It has given me hope in the face of darkness. I am stronger now bc of the support of others. Thank you @heidiroserobbins, and to all the other incredible souls I met on the journey.
As far as offerings, right now I have availability for deep-dive astrology readings, tarot healing sessions, and one-on-one astrology + tarot mentorships. Please click these links to book a session or email me if you have any questions. It would be an honor to hold space for you in this way. Wishing for you an illuminating & healing Libra Full Moon.

Here we find ourselves in the heart of Aries season. There is a tremendous amount of soul-growth occurring at this time. With the Sun, Chiron, Jupiter, Eris and Vesta all in Aries, we each are on an individual journey of deep healing. This Libra Full Moon is here to balance it all. Libra is here to remind you that you don’t have to do this alone. Aries' spiritual evolution unfolds through the interplay of Libra's interpersonal dynamics. Relationships are of primary importance.
How have you been connecting and collaborating
with others this Aries season?
Libra wants to help us evolve out of materialism and into a deeper understanding of life’s meaning. Libra offers us the grace to be decisive and calm in times of crisis. Libra reminds us the wisdom of resting, taking time to appreciate the beauty of nature, to ponder problem-solutions while relaxing and creating art. Libra acts as the balance between understanding and action. Life requires us to make decisions. At the same time each decision, once made, can not be taken back. Libra is connected to the Justice card in the tarot and encourages us to align with a greater Uniting Truth (Sword) while finding a sacred balance between contradictions (the scales). Libra in its highest uses the power of communication to advocate for the improvement of society through equality, social justice, and inclusion.
Libra Affirmation: I choose to focus on what connects us,
not on what separates us.

9:43 pm PST

Libra Body Parts: Lower-back, Kidneys, Adrenal Glands
Libra Esoteric Phrase: I choose the way that leads between
the two great lines of force.
Libra Tarot Cards: Justice, the Empress, the Knight of Swords
Aries New Moon
I am. I transform. I start anew.
This New Moon is the first of two back-to-back New Moon’s in the sign of Aries. This first New Moon (March 21) is found at 0° of Aries, while the second New Moon (April 19) is found at 29° of Aries. The second Aries New Moon, on the last day of Aries Season, is a partial Solar Eclipse, initiating a new year-and-half journey of evolution around Aries themes.
Now is the time for new beginnings. What is it that your soul longs to learn, grow and heal in this lifetime? With Chiron currently in Aries, there may be painful realizations and digging up of the past to better understand the present. For some, this may feel tender, raw and exposed. Be gentle with your heart and each other. We are moving through a re-birth portal together. Rapid conscious evolution is available to us. However, be mindful of the Aries sense of urgency. There is no need to rush.
Pluto in Aquarius
March 23, 2023 – January 20, 2044
It’s likely you’ve been feeling the shift of Pluto entering Aquarius building momentum over the last few weeks, even months. Pluto transits can bring with it a deep, slow churning: intensity, shadow work, soul purging, transformation, death & rebirth. New life themes and realizations may arise that challenge you to face your fear, pain, grief, and sorrow in a new way. There is no escaping these realities. As humans, we all will experience these themes at some point in our life: suffering, loss, and death. With Pluto in Aquarius, we are encouraged to be present with these themes collectively in order to awaken our capacity for greater love, humanity, and altruism.
Here is a list of ways Pluto in Aquarius may show itself:* community + friends gathering together to support each other through a collective death-rebirth * greater perspective on addictions, compulsions, and toxic abuse patterns, both within and without * the power of the internet is utilized to understand + heal intergenerational trauma * new vocabulary emerges to empower the collective towards greater freedom * strides in technology bring greater healing to chronic diseases through new vaccines and medicines * support networks emerge to facilitate healing and dialogue around sexual abuse and trauma * greater education on the history of humanity from the perspective of marginalized communities is supported through the uplifting of all voices * sudden breakthroughs and awareness around unconscious patterns create a ripple effect of healing * an emotionally detached vantage point allows one to face their inner-demons with compassion and understanding * new systems emerge that help to bring expansive awareness around the interconnectedness of trauma that is felt throughout humanity * the psychological repercussions of the internet’s ability to offer immediate access to information is revealed * the psychological repercussions of the internets ability to keep people bound to abusive peoples and toxic communities is revealed * New technologies and points of views help regulate our nervous systems * New technologies make alternative modes of healing and therapy available and easily accessible to ALL people * Superconscious rebellion advances society forward towards psychological freedom and liberation for all * Stronger alliances and inter-disciplinarian research emerges to build greater bridges between psychology and astrology

Pisces New MoonI surrender. I release. I flow.
Dear Cosmic Cousins,Thank you so much for your patience in receiving this New Moon newsletter. Due to many life happenings, I was unable to get this newsletter out by the New Moon. However, today on this very auspicious day 2-22, I have some spaciousness in my schedule to reflect and connect. I do believe this is a wonderful Pisces teaching opportunity... 1. Pisces teaches us to rest, flow, adapt and trust in the process. 2. Our rituals, self-care and reflections are never limited only to the New and Full Moon 3. We are a part of the great mysterious cycle of nature. The structures and rules placed on us by our modern patriarchal world shall not contain us.
♓Pisces New MoonSunday, February 19, 202311:05 pm PST
Pisces Esoteric Phrase: I leave my [Cosmic] home, and turning back, I save.Pisces Tarot Cards: The Moon, Page/Queen of Cups, the Hanged OnePisces Body Parts: Feet, Water in the Body, Auric Field
On the podcast this week we are joined by special guest Caitlin Muelder. In light of the Pisces New Moon, Caitlin shares with us deep-felt wisdom in a talk I titled: "Be Water, My Friend". In this mini-lesson, Caitlin starts out with an beautiful invocation to welcome-in Pisces. Then, she connects us to the three ruling planets for Pisces:
- Jupiter – Traditional ruling planet
- Neptune – Modern ruling planet
- Pluto – Esoteric ruling planet
A little bit about Caitlin: Caitlin's interest in astrology has been life long. She grew up in the midwest with lovingly pragmatic parents who both worked in education and academia. They’ve generously supported her interest in the Esoteric Arts while offering “a healthy dose” of skeptical analysis. This encouraged Caitlin to pursue occult interests while remaining grounded in reason. She endeavors to apply a scientific lens and bring “critical research perspective” to her work, with the goal of accumulating empirical evidence, in an esoteric field of study. Caitlin aims to help clients make the link for themselves between the profound and the practical. Mentored under Heidi Rose Robbins since 2016, Caitlin is immensely proud to be a member of Heidi's Astrology team. Caitlin has many different astrology offerings available through her website. And here is a link to Caitlin's instagram. :)

Capricorn New MoonI structure. I ground. I sustain.
Card 1 – How might I benefit from creating more structure in my life?Card 2 – What practices might I call upon to encourage grounding?Card 3 – How might I better manage my resources for greater sustainability?
On this episode we explore the invitation of the Capricorn New Moon through ritual, tarot connections and a light guided meditation. In addition, we check-in with Jupiter entering Aries and the end of the Saturn in Aquarius transit.
Then, we are joined for an hour conversation with special guest Lindsay Mann!
Lindsay Mann is an intuitive healing artist, author, and permaculture advocate who cares endlessly about this beautiful planet. We met years ago at Maha Rose in Brooklyn, New York. Since then, I have been staying in touch with their offerings through instagram. They channel clear guidance from other worlds in support of this one. As a healing artist, Lindsay has combined Vedic Meditation, their experience as a Reiki Master, Mediumship, and working in the Akashic Records to connect and communicate with the most profound, subtle energies.
In our conversation, titled ‘Vibrational Archives’, we discuss life as a Capricorn Sun with a Sagittarius Moon, the significance of the Solstice, the importance of organization and devotion, posting on social media as a spiritual practitioner, the esoteric phrase for Capricorn, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. One of the most exciting parts about our conversation: Lindsay graciously offered to open up the Akashic Records for the Cosmic Cousin's community for the year 2023. If you're interested in hearing our messages, tune into this week's podcast episode.
As an added bonus, on the Capricorn New Moon podcast episode, enjoy Yule song the Holly & the Ivy (with the original pagan lyrics) by Asheville, North Carolina based singer-songwriter Adrianne Blanks. As a long time listener of Cosmic Cousins, Adrianne reached out sharing that the podcast helped her get through a really tough transitional time in her life.
As a collaboration with 13 Asheville collaborators including Trollbinde Jewelry, and Mountain Flower Fantasies who make fantasy gowns, Adrianne recently released a full scale music video for this song. Offering more of a connection to Earth-based traditions of ancient past, Adrianne recorded this song in hopes to bring comfort to more people who don't fully resonate with the music of the season. I hope you enjoy!

Gemini Full MoonI listen. I communicate. I integrate.
Gemini Full Moon blessings to you! The final Full Moon of 2022 finds itself in the whimsical and communicative Mutable Air sign of Gemini.
Wednesday, December 7, 20228:08 pm PST16º 02'
On this episode we explore the invitation of the Gemini Full Moon through ritual, tarot connections and a light guided meditation. In addition, we check-in with Mars Retrograde and reflect on some other major transits. Then, we are joined for an hour conversation with special guest Pavanjeet!
As always, I am forever grateful for you and our community. Thank you to those of you who tune into the podcast and read the newsletters! Right now, I am offering both astrology and tarot readings. I am also currently taking applications for 2023 one-on-one mentorships. If you have already applied for a 2023 mentorship and you have not yet heard back from me, I will be getting back to you by the end of this week.
In case the Cosmic Cousin's Gemini Full Moon podcast episode isn't enough for you, I’m excited to announce that I have not one, but two (in that very Gemini way) podcast collaboration conversations to share with you!
The first one is with the incredible Jonathan Koe (Gemini Moon) host of the podcast Healing the Spirit. In our conversation titled 'Cultivating the Flame of Devotion'.
Then, the second podcast collaboration is with the insightful Nick of the 'In Search of Tarot' podcast. In our conversation titled 'Queering Astrology'.
Community Announcements:
Congratulations to Maha Rose! They just announced on this Gemini Full Moon that they will be re-opening in Brooklyn, NY in the spring of 2023. Maha Rose is the healing center where I first offered tarot and astrology readings, and I am forever grateful for the community, connections and opportunities that this loving community provided for me and so many others.
Yay! Congrats to Charlie Claire Burgess (Aquarius) of the Fifth Spirit Tarot. They are releasing a new edition of their tarot deck through Hay House. For those of you who follow my work closely you know I love this tarot deck. I am always using it in my teachings, as I love how it "“expands the traditional tarot archetypes beyond the gender binary, re-imagining the cards from a queer and inclusive perspective."
Lane Smith (they/them) recently released a list of paired books with tarot decks as gift ideas. Check it out here. I thought this was a really inspiring approach and it felt very Sagittarius to me – an interdisciplinary approach – building bridges between education and the tarot. Then, Lane communicated to me that they are a Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune in Sagittarius. That's a lot of Sag!

Sagittarius New Moon I expand. I uplift. I celebrate.
Embodied Health: If you are able, take a deep breath into your legs, thighs, hips, and circulatory system. These are some of Sagittarius' sacred body parts. As you breathe in, invite greater circulation, ease and flow into your life. As you breathe out, let go of any excess energy by shaking the legs or circling the hips. As you move the body in tandem with the breath, experiment by saying the Sagittarius New Moon affirmation.
Sagittarius New Moon Affirmation: I open myself up to new solutions for greater ease and flow. I am adaptable, versatile, and free.
Here is a 2-hour chanting meditation that Sagittarius Tina Turner created that I have been playing all week as I make Yuletide wands in preparation for the Winter Solstice.
In light of Sagittarius, we have the incredible honor of being joined by the radiant Rae Sapp. Yes, Rae is a Capricorn Sun, but in our conversation the Sagittarius Rising comes in hot!
Rae is the new owner and publisher of The Mountain Astrologer magazine. She is a second-generation astrologer but prefers the title “astromancer”— a witch holding space for sacred language play. You can find her between the of pages TMA or as the breathing corporal time machine at the Witch Way Cafe.
In our conversation titled "Sagittarius: the Erotic & Philosophical", we talk about the many different expressions of Sagittarius. From the witchy, nature-based side of Sagittarius, to the sexual and more spiritual side of Sagittarius, we talk all things Mutable Fire. We also explore Sagittarius' connection to the Temperance tarot card, group energy, publishing, and the expansion of consciousness.
Love,
Jeff Hinshaw (he/they) jeff@brooklynfools.com

Taurus Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse I ground. I illuminate. I go within.
Taurus Full Moon Questions for Reflection: How might I take a more grounded approach? What within me is ready to be illuminated? How might I more deeply go within?
Taurus Full Moon Affirmation: When I slow down my body, I slow down my mind. I communicate my truth with ease and grace.
If your are able, close your eyes. Place one hand on your Heart, one hand on your Throat. While connecting with the Earth and your body, breathe into the Third Eye.
Once you slow down your body, you begin to slow down your mind.
Open yourself up to gentle insight. Breathe light into areas of your body in need of healing. Quiet the mind in order to receive new insights on ways to invite practical love into your life.
If emotions arise, although them to surface. There is a lot of water in the heavens on this particular Full Moon. “Allow your heart to break open”, Renee Sills of Embodied Astrology said this to me earlier this week. We gathered in conversation for the Taurus Full Moon.
On this episode, enjoy a conversation with the brilliant Renee Sills of Embodied Astrology. Renee is a Double Leo with Taurus Moon. She posts free bi-monthly horoscope columns, podcasts and guided meditations which focus on how astrology manifests in our everyday experiences and through our bodies. In our conversation we talk about both Uranus and the North Node in Taurus, and much more!
The Lunar Eclipse is visible in many places late this evening and early morning (Tuesday, November 8, 2022). If the rainy skies of the Pacific Northwest clear up enough I plan to catch it. Perhaps you'll go out and observe it too? Below is a time table that I found from this website.
Wishing for you an easeful Full Moon and remainder of Scorpio Season. If you are interested in deepening your studies, I am taking applications for 2023 one-on-one mentorships with me. In addition, there are open slots available for deep-dive astrology readings. As always, it's an honor to be here with you.
Scorpio New Moon: Partial Solar Eclipse I ignite. I simmer. I brew.
On this episode of Cosmic Cousins, explore the invitation of the Scorpio New Moon – Solar Eclipse and the Libra Venus Cazimi. Enjoy ritual, tarot connections and a guided meditation.
Then, in honor of Scorpio's connection to emotional healing through esoteric and occult practices, enjoy a deep-dive conversation with Young Adult Novelist Kate Scelsa (Scorpio Moon). Our talk is titled "Stay Gently Empowered" and explores mental health, magical practices, and Kate's journey with queer parenting.
Kate Scelsa is the recent author to the book Luminary: A Magical Guide to Self-Care – "an anti-capitalist, pro-magic and pro-personal empowerment guide for teens on how to creatively combat stress and depression". Chapter 2 of this book is all about astrology and an extensive interview with me is included! It's available to preorder and is released on the Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse (November 8)!
In addition, Kate is also in a band called the Witch Ones. On this podcast episode we tune into the song The Tower inspired by the tarot card. Quite appropriate as The Tower connects us to Mars (Scorpio's traditional ruling planet).
*To support the production of the podcast, please consider becoming a Patreon Supporter. As a bonus, there is a 2-hour lecture on astrology and the body available for free for Patreon Supporters only.
Special Announcement – This week I was invited on The Spiritual Gayz hilarious and insightful podcast to talk about Scorpio Eclipse Season. We chatted about all things transformation, the importance of messiness and how to reclaim Scorpio elements in our lives through Taurus embodiment. To tune into this Spiritual Gayz episode, titled Your Eclipse Season Survival Guide, click here.
Updates: As of now, my books for astrology and tarot readings are filled for the year 2022! For those of you whom I worked with this past year, it has been such an honor to hold space for you during this transformational year. There are already a few spots available for astrology readings in January if you feel the call to work with me in 2023 (the Chariot Year)! I will also be opening up new spots for long-term mentorships in the coming weeks. Wishing for you an easeful Eclipse season.
Love,
Jeff Hinshaw (he/they) jeff@brooklynfools.com

Aries Full Moon I heal. I embark. I start anew.
On the latest episode of Cosmic Cousins, we explore the invitation of the Aries Full Moon. We check in about the current astrological transits, talk some tarot, and of course connect to our bodies. Aries rules the head, brain, and face.
Also on this episode, enjoy an Aries–Libra reflection and song by one of my current mentorship students Racheli Wercberger. Racheli (they/them) is a queer, nonbinary, white Jewish somatic practitioner currently practicing and living in San Francisco, California, on occupied Ramaytush-Ohlone land.
Here's a quote from Racheli: "Libra and Aries together remind me that being in relationship doesn't require sacrifice of myself. On the contrary, it requires me to be my full entire beautiful self."
In addition, we are joined on the Aries Full Moon podcast episode by friends Brandon Alter and Angel Lopez, also known as The Spiritual Gayz. In our conversation Brandon uses the phrase "Living the Rainbow of Pain" – which is what I chose to title our conversation. We explore Aries, Chiron, Mars in Gemini, grief, identity, and much more.
Announcement – Recently I had the honor of being on Tandy Gutierrez's podcast The Magic Spark. Quite in alignment with Chiron's themes, we get intimate discussing my own wounds and journey with healing. It felt very vulnerable to share in this way, however Tandy held space in such a loving and supportive way. If you are in need of extra reflection on your own healing journey, perhaps you’ll check out this episode titled:The Wound of Body and Abandonment.
Aries Full Moon Questions for Reflection: Who am I? What do I desire? How am I being invited to more lovingly stand in my power?
Aries Full Moon Affirmation: It is safe for me to be an individual. I have a right to be on this planet. I am a teacher and student of life.
Aries Full Moon Sunday, October 9, 2022 1:54 pm PST 17º 41'
Perhaps you place out on your altar the Emperor card for the Aries Full Moon and the Lover's card in honor of Mars in Gemini. Then begin to reflect on 2022 through the lens of the Lovers. If you have any profound connections, stories or synchronicities with the Lovers in 2022 and you feel called, please reach out to me through email letting me know. Then, come the Gemini Full Moon (December 7, 2022), we will reconvene and I will share a couple of our community's stories. I look forward to connecting and playing with you in this Gemini way. Full Moon Blessings to you!

Libra + Justice
As we move closer toward election day here in the United States, this New Moon calls to mind the soul-growth for Libra – Justice. It is important when working with Libra that the desire for peace does not become just a mere concept of idealism, but rather is a principle to strive for (Cardinal Air). In what ways are you taking action and standing up for Truth and Equality? How does Justice play a role in your life? If you are in the United States, and you are not yet registered to vote, you may still have time. Click here to learn more.

Libra + Justice
As we move closer toward election day here in the United States, this New Moon calls to mind the soul-growth for Libra – Justice. It is important when working with Libra that the desire for peace does not become just a mere concept of idealism, but rather is a principle to strive for (Cardinal Air). In what ways are you taking action and standing up for Truth and Equality? How does Justice play a role in your life? If you are in the United States, and you are not yet registered to vote, you may still have time. Click here to learn more.

Aquarius Full Moon I know. I hope. I inspire.
︎ Aquarius Full Moon Thursday, August 11, 2022 6:35 pm PST 19º 21'
Happy Aquarius Full Moon to you! Aquarius is a sign connected to energy and vibration. If you look at the glyph for Aquarius you will see there are two energy waves running parallel to one another. If there was ever a Full Moon to charge your crystals under, this is the one. Perhaps make it part of your ritual. Let your crystals breathe and feel free. Charge them up for a full 24 hours – under the light of the Sun during the day (while the Sun is in it’s most powerful sign of Leo), and under the light of the Full Moon during the night. The Full Moon light of Aquarius holds great potential to amplify your intentions for a future of greater interconnectedness and freedom. It also holds the power to amplify the healing power of your crystals and their spiritual significance and meaning to on your healing journey.
On this episode of Cosmic Cousins, we explore the invitation of the Aquarius Full Moon. Enjoy ritual, tarot connections and a guided meditation. We also explore Saturn in Aquarius, Uranus + North Node in Taurus, and more!
In addition, enjoy a conversation with Tandy Gutierrez the founder of Unicorn Wellness – an online subscription based wellness center that offers physical exercises, energy healing, tarot reading, and astrology. In our conversation we talk about Tandy's birth chart, the Leo-Aquarius polarity, the pleasure principle, Leo's need to be seen, physical training to the rhythm of the moon’s cycles, and much more!
Exciting Announcement!
I am excited to announce that I have the great honor of now being a member of the Heidi Rose Robbins’ Astrology Team. Many of you already know Heidi. She is an incredible esoteric astrologer who weaves poetry, embodiment, and community facilitation together with warmth and compassion. She is the host of the Radiance Project and the Chart Your Career Podcast. She has also built an entire online platform called Luminosity, geared towards helping others learn and practice astrology in community. I am now offering Sun-Moon-Rising Snapshots and Transit Snapshots. These are 15-20 minute audio recordings, which also come with a wealth of other information, links and resources from Heidi. If you are interested in receiving an audio Snapshot from me visit this link and scroll down to Snapshots. When filling out the form on Heidi's website, be sure in the notes to request Jeff Hinshaw as your astrologer. Looking forward to this new way of connecting with you.
New Offering – Join Ashley River and Jeff Hinshaw for a full day of healing and embodiment in Portland, Oregon. This is an intimate, deep community immersion. The focus of this Healing Day Retreat is a journey within the Self. This retreat is centered around the energy of the Star card in the traditional tarot. The Star is the card that follows the Tower, our calm, clear morning after a destructive storm. With much chaos, trauma, and turmoil in recent years, becoming raw and enduring great challenges both personally and collectively, the Star's energy brings us renewed hope, faith, trust, and purpose on our evolutionary journeys. The Star will guide our journey as a community to replenish, let go of anything needing to be left behind in the realm of the Tower, connect to our generous healing spirit, and let our lights shine brighter than ever.

Leo New Moon I create. I empower. I will.
Each New Moon offers the opportunity to go within, to shed layers from the previous cycle, to quiet the mind and realign with intention. With the New Moon in the sign of Leo, I invite you to pause with purpose. As the world around us gears up for radical breakthroughs (Mars + Uranus conjunction), pressure may feel like it's building. Whatever shifts and changes are taking place have been building momentum for sometime (North Node of Fate). Stand your ground. Sometimes you have to fight for what you love. Ground into your power. Slay the inner saboteur. Quiet the mind by placing your hands on your heart. Bask in the light of the Sun. Allow old versions of yourself to melt away. Invite greater joy into your life. Own your right to love fully and authentically with compassion and conviction. Breathe new life from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Open yourself up to love.
Leo New Moon Questions for Reflection: How might I invite greater joy and love into my life?
Leo New Moon Affirmation: I have the right to be loved. I have the right to love.

Capricorn Full Moon I build. I commit. I endure.
On Wednesday (July 13), the moon will arrive at its closest point to the Earth for 2022, making this Full Moon a Supermoon. In the sign of Capricorn and conjunct Pluto, this Full Moon brings an intensity of emotional awareness. Structures (both within and without) are moving through a portal of death and rebirth. Asteroid Ceres is in Cancer in opposition to this Full Moon, encouraging the cultivation of family, intuition, and healing. With ruling planet Saturn in Aquarius, freedom and humanitarian ideals may feel restricted and under review. Be patient with yourself and the process.
As a balance to Cancer Season, the Capricorn Full Moon offers a practical vantage point. If your emotions feel overwhelming, reconnect with your environment. Honor the parts of you that are hardworking and perseverant. How might you shift your awareness away from the need for recognition and more toward living in alignment with your values? What structures need to be put in place in order to ensure greater overall health for your body and the environment? In what ways might you commit to using your public offerings to offer greater healing to the Earth?
Capricorn Full Moon Affirmation: I listen to the ancient wisdom of my work.
♑ Capricorn Full Moon Wednesday, July 13, 2022 11:37 am PST 21º 21'
Capricorn Full Moon Reflections
In my birth chart I have Venus, Neptune and Juno in Capricorn in the 12th House of the Unknown. My relationship to business and career (Capricorn) is spiritual, otherworldly and mysterious (12th House). My process does not always follow the traditional rules of business, however I am hardworking and I consistently show up. My personal relationship to Capricorn (Collective Earth) is the commitment toward living in alignment with the planet. Being an astrologer allows me to lessen my environmental impact, while also it gifts me the opportunity to be my own boss. This ensures that I am able to make decisions that are in alignment with my values. Every day I am grateful and humbled to be of service in this way.
One of my favorite and most rewarding ways to be of service is through offering one-on-one mentorships. This year, one of my students who completed the deep dive mentorship is the incredible Branwen Schaub. She recently launched her astrology practice, and I highly recommend her services. She is incredibly intuitive and insightful. Her offerings include both tarot and astrology readings. Below you will see a breathtaking photograph of her taken on the Sagittarius Full Moon last month.
In addition, I am excited to announce that this September I will be collaborating with Taurus Ashley River, author of Tending to the Sacred. We will be hosting an in-person Day Retreat in Portland, Oregon. All of the details of the event and how to sign-up will be announced in my next newsletter in two weeks on the Leo New Moon (July 28). Ashley recently posted about the Capricorn Full Moon on her instagram and I really resonated with what she wrote. Perhaps you'll check it out.
Also, I enjoyed a recent post on aging by spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson (Marianne is a Cancer Sun with a Capricorn Moon – the same combo as the energy of this Capricorn Full Moon). She posted a video of her from afar walking along the ocean. The first sentence of her post read, "I took a long walk with God along the beach on my 70th birthday yesterday." Cancer is the connection to the ocean, reflection and memory. Capricorn is the connection to aging and the long walk with God.
I hope you are able to carve out space this Cancer season to allow for deep contemplation and rest. If you are in need of a sacred container for reflection, it would be an absolute honor and joy to hold space for you through an astrology or tarot reading. Blessings to you on this Capricorn Full Moon.

Taurus New Moon – Solar Eclipse I stabilize. I empower. I love.
Eclipse Season is upon us! This is the time of the year when we are offered opportunities to grow and evolve. With the North Node in Taurus we are being invited to trust our intuition when it comes to our desires. Stay connected to what brings you pleasure. Listen to your body's wisdom. If able, spend time alone and in nature to ground. Reconnect to the Earth. Come back to your source of inner-security. Now is the time for a new level of embodiment.
On this Taurus New Moon Solar Eclipse eclipse enjoy a conversation with embodiment teacher Adriana Rizzolo (Taurus Sun. Pisces Venus) we explore shame, pleasure, joy, beauty, poetry and more.
In addition, Uranus is bringing it this Taurus Season! ⚡ There are a 2 new episodes of Cosmic Cousins available! And 2 new episodes of me on other podcasts! As far as Cosmic Cousins, I am trying out a new format. Instead of releasing 2 hour long episodes, I will be breaking up the same content offering into smaller episodes. I hope this makes it easier for you to digest.
I recently had the pleasure of being invited on the The Magic Spark podcast (hosted by my new friend "wellness witch" Tandy Gutierrez). In our conversation we dive deep into the magic, messaging and healing of Black Moon Lilith. If you are interested in learning more about this placement and her recent ingress into Cancer, I highly encourage you to check this podcast episode out!
And finally, I was offered the immense honor of being on the Modern Witches podcast! Join Casey Zabala and me at a digital altar for an inspiring conversation. We chat about our relationship to magic and our tarot practice, as well as dive into the upcoming eclipse charts for both the Taurus New Moon and Scorpio Full Moon. This conversation is available both on YouTube and as a Podcast.
Updates: I have had a few people ask me if I am offering readings in person in Portland, Oregon. Right now, I do not currently have a space set up for in person readings. Hopefully, at some point in the near future, I may team up with a healing center here in Portland to offer readings in person. If and when that ever happens, I will be sure to announce it in a newsletter and on the podcast.
In the meantime, I am offering both astrology or tarot readings over Zoom video. It would be an honor to connect with you in that way.
In addition, there are a few spots open for one-on-one Summer mentorships. If you are interested in learning more, please email me at jeff@brooklynfools.com

Pisces New Moon Portal

Here on this Pisces New Moon we find ourselves at the end of a massive karmic cycle. On this episode, Jeff Hinshaw offers you ways in which to connect to the energy of Pisces and the New Moon.
____________________________________________________________
Podcast Season Finale
Dear Cosmic Cousins,
After three and a half years of podcasting, it is with the utmost mixed feelings of gratitude and sadness that I have decided to put this sacred offering on an indefinite pause.
Launching the podcast during the Virgo New Moon of 2017 (Virgo Sun – Virgo Moon) and closing out on the Pisces New Moon of 2021 (Pisces Sun – Pisces Moon) feels like a deep honoring and poetic close out to what has been a truly rewarding and fulfilling experience.
This decision comes with a great deal of surrender and trust in the Unknown. In order to grow in new ways, I know I need extra space to rest and reflect. This certainly isn’t a goodbye. It's very likely the podcast will continue on in new ways in the future — perhaps this Autumn I will be ready to relaunch with a whole new vision— but for now it is uncertain. On this Pisces New Moon, it’s my hopes that we all gift ourself permission to eb and flow with the tides of our soul, even if that feels scary or unknown.
With this new space created in my life I am hoping to immerse myself in writing. There are a number of books inside me on both tarot and astrology that are ready to be birthed – and spirit is starting to get loud! So, I must heed the calling.
I am also looking forward to spending extra time bonding with my new puppy Biji Cazimi and cultivating new relationships in my life. This Pisces New Moon is reminding us all to connect with the more emotional realms of this human existence.
In addition, I am not going away – just putting a pause on podcasting. if you’d still like to learn from me in 2021, I am still offering one-on-one deep-dive astrology readings all year – and I am also hosting a monthly gathering live on Zoom called COSMIC SHIFT on the first Saturday of each month.
If you'd like to stay in touch: follow me on Instagram, and stay subscribed to my newsletter and the podcast. I will keep you up-to-date on what’s going on with me through these platforms. And it is likely I will release an episode here-and-there when I feel the call. Again, thank you for your support. It means the world to me. It has truly been an honor to be of service for you in this way. If you are a Patreon supporter, THANK YOU so much for your generous support. Without you, the podcast would not have been possible. Your monthly donation has been put on pause for the time being, and I will be reaching out to you personally with more information in the coming weeks.
Wising for you all a magical and restful Pisces New Moon.
Love, Jeff & Biji
💙🐶🌀🌌🙌

Aquarius Season ♒︎ January 19 – February 18, 2021 ♒︎
Happy Aquarius Season to you! For some of us this is the most Aquarian energy we will have ever experienced in the sky at one time... particularly on the Aquarius New Moon (Feb. 11) — the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Pallas, Jupiter and Saturn will all be in this Collective Fixed Air Sign of the Humanitarian.
To make use of all this Aquarian energy, it’s highly recommended to channel your genius into a creative project or healing modality, or to commit to a structured community/collective that is focused on freedom + empowerment through nonhierarchical intellectual discussion and/or consciousness raising practices.
If you’re looking for community support right now, I have a new monthly virtual astrology + embodiment offering I’m super stoked about: COSMIC SHIFT. I’m co-leading it with my friend + powerful teacher Adriana Rizzolo. The first gathering is set for Saturday, February 6, and is all about honoring AQUARIUS.
There’s also a few spots left in the FOOLS JOURNEY — 6-month tarot ritual! Enrollment will be closing this Monday, January 25. So if you were considering signing up, please be sure to do so this week!

UPDATE FROM ME:
Cosmic Cousins! We are all on the precipice of some radical shifts and changes. Both Saturn and Jupiter shift into Aquarius this week. As an Aquarius Sun/Rising, I am feeling really inspired. I am making use of this energy in the New Year by shifting my focus toward writing – with the hopes of finishing and publishing two new books. Because of this, I am unfortunately unable to offer mentorships or courses in 2021. I know this may be disappointing to quite a number of you who I have been in communication with about this potential, and I do hope you understand.
However, I plan to continue to release the podcast so that I can offer you support, and I, of course, will still be offering both astrology and tarot readings. If you are hoping to work with me more regularly, I encourage you to book follow-up readings.
If a reading doesn't call to you right now, and you value the time and energy I put into the newsletter and podcast, please consider leaving an iTunes review, sign up to become a Patreon member, or purchase a Workshop Download. This helps support me as I continue to offer my work to you and the community free of charge. Big love to you! I am wishing for you a restful Sagittarius New Moon. – Jeff Hinshaw

Reproductive Justice is NOT just "a women's cause". It is important that this statement be upgraded and inclusive of non-binary folx and trans men who also need access to uterine reproductive care. If you are interested in learning more about how childbearing affects people all across the gender spectrum, Alice Arden (@mebooandhoneytoo) personally reached out to me and suggested we follow King Yaa on instagram @queerbirthworker. They’re content is extremely comprehensive and they have helped Alice, a trans masculine person, to better understand how birth is truly non-binary.

Gemini rules over siblings. This extends to all people, especially our Native Sisters, Brothers, and Two-Spirit Community.
On this Gemini Full Moon, in honor of Native American Heritage Day, and in deep remembrance of the history of this land here in the United States, I have spent time familiarizing myself with Native American Youth and Family Center (@naya_pdx). They are a really important organization located in Portland, Oregon that advocate for our Native and Two-Spirit community.
If you are looking for a way to give back at this time of year, you can check them out by clicking the above links or visiting the linktree on my instagram bio (@cosmic.cousins). If you'd like to donate to them, even a little bit can really help out.

With one hand on your belly and one hand on your heart, give yourself permission to slow down and to reassess. Call to mind a sunset – this is the time of day that Libra rules over. Slow down to honor the beauty in transition from Day to Night. We are in a pivotal moment of the year. This Libra New Moon reminds us of this and encourages recalibration.
On this week's episode: * Exploration of the Libra New Moon * Libra and Justice * Venus in Virgo * Eris in Aries, * Mercury Retrograde, and * Conversation with Cassandra Solano –
a licensed social worker in the state of California, and a conscious relationship coach. Cassandra has a Libra Midheaven with Mars, Saturn, and Pluto in Libra. Check out Cassandra on Instagram!
In our 1-hour conversation we get intimate with Cassandra. We discuss:
+ Breaking Cycles of Trauma through Relationship
+ Spiral Dynamics and the Healing Journey
+ Conscious Relationships
+ Libra Midheaven
+ Saturn in Libra
+ Pluto in Libra
+ Mars in Libra, and much more!

We are right here at that perfect delicate balance between Light and Dark. Day and Night are in equal measure – the scales of Libra. It’s such a delicate time of year. Libra, ruled by Venus, inspires us to shift gears toward the more relational and social justice oriented realms of life.

Pisces Full Moon I surrender. I pray. I release.
♓︎ 10° 12' Tuesday, September 1 10:22pm PST
This Pisces Full Moon offers a time to really sit with the emotion of the devastating occurrences happening on our planet. The world we live in often causes us to numb or suppress our emotions, often out of self-preservation. However, Pisces grants us the wisdom to know that it is safe to feel our emotions and that they are sacred. When we can really sit with and tune into them, they offer us a deeper sense of empathy and clarity. If you feel able, truly honor and get to know the many Black individuals who have been killed this year by police. I will be lighting a candle on my Pisces Full Moon altar, and saying the following names:
Breonna Taylor. George Floyd. Atatiana Jefferson. Aura Rosser. Stephon Clark. Botham Jean. Philando Castille. Alton Sterling. Michelle Cusseaux. Freddie Gray. Janisha Fonville. Eric Garner. Akai Gurley. Gabriella Navarez. Tamir Rice. Michael Brown. Tanisha Anderson.

Also on this week's podcast episode, enjoy a conversation with the extraordinary Edgar Fabián Frías – a nonbinary, queer, indigenous (Wixárika) and Brown multidisciplinary artist, curator, educator, and psychotherapist.

Mars: Divine Ambition 'An intuitive journey of self-realization'
To fully understand the impact of the year 2020 from an astrological perspective it is important to take into consideration the planet Mars. At home in the sign of Aries for the entire second half of 2020, we are gifted the opportunity to get intimate with this fiery planet of action.
In this workshop download, we will dive deep into Mars’ archetypal symbolism. Learn how Mars encourages us (both as individuals and in the collective) to evolve through the shadow manifestations of violence, aggression and war – and into the higher attributes of courage, self-realization, and radical love.
In my own practice, I refer to Mars as the planet of Divine Ambition. If you’re longing to ground down into a deeper understanding of soul-centered Mars through ritual and learning, then this Workshop Download is for you. During our time, you will discover how to utilize the energy of Mars to harness your cardinal birth rights. Mars is here as an ally to empower us to show up as individuals to this life – bigger, bolder, and more aligned with our innate capacity to create new life in alignment with the evolution of our planet.

Cancer New Moon 🌊
I process. I reset. I return back home.
This Cancer New Moon closes out eclipse season and marks the official end of the Cancer/Capricorn Nodal Axis – both the end and the initiation of an 18 year cycle. There have been massive opportunities for karmic release over the past year and half around Cancer and Capricorn themes. This New Moon acts as a moment to reflect on these transitions as we pass the threshold of this final Cancerian release. Whatever upgrades and shifts you've experienced in your life begin to settle into place. Now is a time for processing the changes occurring in your life and in the collective. Allow whatever emotions want to arise to surface. Imagine them like waves swelling upon the shore.

I feel. I nurture. I cradle.
The Cancer New Moon Solar Eclipse this weekend is special, as it is the last Eclipse of a series in the sign of Cancer – fateful realignments with home and family. In order to fully understand the invitation of this eclipse portal, it is important to connect with the Gemini North Node 29° and it’s relationship to the Cancer New Moon 0°.
🦋 The Butterfly is a beautiful image to help connect us to Gemini. The Butterfly is a sacred symbol for Gemini: light + ethereal, Divine Messenger, social and connected to the immediate surroundings, and an migration activist symbol of freedom of movement + hope (check the ♊️Emoji Story Archives for more on this). 🦋 Butterfly is also a sacred symbol that helps to build a bridge to understanding our next sign in the Zodiacal Wheel — Cancer. Butterflies are often used at memorials and funerals to commemorate the passing of a loved one. Even at my own grandmother’s funeral, we all wore Butterfly pins to connect us to her spirit and love of nature + gardening. Cancer connects us to our grandparents, messages from ancestors, and the grief of loved one’s passing.
On this Cancer New Moon, feel into the invitation of coming Home to yourself, while also sensing into the initiation of fateful realignments with the Gemini North Node. In this podcast episode, I talk about the life and work of Cosmic Cousin’s ‘Queen of Cancer’ and how we can use her art to help us feel into the embodiment of Cancer, while also exploring the energy of Gemini. In her work she often paints butterflies 🦋 and even has a self-portrait of herself as Twins. Her Venus + Pluto are in Gemini.
If you found this helpful please like, share, and comment. Blessings!

This podcast episode is dedicated to the 'Black Lives Matter' Global Protests occurring in our world. For those of you protesting, I hope you are staying safe. For those of you who are not, I hope the information provided allows you deeper insight into the energy of these times.
Due to the wrongful murder of George Floyd and many others, it's important to say right out that the Cosmic Cousins Community supports 'Black Lives Matters' and stands in solidarity against racial injustice and police violence. In accordance with 'Amplify Melanated Voices', I am not posting any original content to instagram: June 1 - 7. Instead, I am sharing work and information from Black + BIPOC activists and healers who are speaking directly from their lived experience. If you are seeking resources on ways to be more involved, I encourage you to visit the Story Archives on my instagram for more information.

Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse
Fires of Great Change
Eclipse energy offers a time of heightened emotional awareness with opportunities for exponential growth and evolution. During this portal, life can feel like it is moving at a more rapid pace. Sudden new insights into the world around us come flooding through, gifting us the extra encouragement to release outdated modes of existence no longer in alignment with the evolution of our planet. Simultaneously, the energy available to us offers us an equal opportunity to push us toward expanding beyond our comfort zone.
During Gemini Season we become very conscious of contradictions within our immediate surroundings. The Sagittarius Full Moon seeks to balance the duality of Gemini by expanding our perception of reality to include the entire global stratosphere through collective vision. What started out as a protest in the Twin Cities (Gemini the twins) has now sparked a revolution around the world (Sagittarius the world traveler). So far, all 50 states plus 18 countries have participated in the 'Black Lives Matter' protests making it the largest Civil Rights Movement in the world to date.
This particular Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse starts off a year and a half cycle of Eclipses along the Gemini/Sagittarius Axis. The last time we experienced this axis was during the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center: The Twin Towers (Gemini) – World Trade (Sagittarius). This invites us back to themes of this time period. For instance, the United States' police force acquired military grade equipment because of the terrorist attacks of 9-11. Now, we are revisiting this theme, with much discussion around how arming our police with more powerful weapons has led to more violence against Americans.
As the first Sagittarius Eclipse in a series, this eclipse offers us a clue into the themes that will carry us through 2021. Fateful realignments occur along the Sagittarius-Gemini axis. This shifts the "usual" invitation of the Sagittarius Full Moon. Instead of a focus on the big picture vision, it indicates a major opportunity to release outdated Sagittarian energy. With the South Node in Sagittarius, we may experience a pull toward the shadow of this archetype.
🏹
Lower Manifestations of Sagittarius
Sagittarius in a lower form can be heated, argumentative, and ignorant to other's world views. We may experience individuals exuding low-form Sagittarian traits at this time (especially during the Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse). We can expect aggressive tendencies, restlessness, erratic behavior, and even violence. We may exude these qualities within ourself, so be mindful of anger. If you feel your blood boiling, come back to mindfulness through your breath within your immediate surroundings.
Sagittarius rules over religion, philosophy, and higher education. Many people may be falling into outdated dogmatic religious and world views, while we also have the opportunity to clear out old limiting beliefs around these themes. If you are coming from a religious perspective, do not push your agenda. Now is not the time to preach. If you have received an education from an institution of "higher learning", how are you utilizing your degrees to further advance your neighborhood and immediate surrounding toward greater social understanding and intellect?
Sagittarius, the archer, is optimistic and idealistic, aiming its arrow toward a uniting philosophical or spiritual goal. However, the Sagittarius South Node indicates a heavy pull toward blind idealism and "spiritual bypassing". This can be problematic as it does not address the facts presented within one's own immediate surroundings. I have witnessed this lower form Sagittarian trait by observing white New Age spiritualist posting pictures of themselves at a waterfall with their crystals, while in reality the world around us is showing up to protest racial discrimination and police brutality for social change.
Sagittarius is connected to world travel and global affairs. With a global pandemic as a backdrop to global riots, we may also find new information or evolutions reveal itself in relationship to Covid-19. With the South Node in Sagittarius, we also can expect major changes and releases with global affairs and travel. On a very literal level, the Sagittarius South Node indicates little to no world or longterm travel, with an emphasis toward short-term immediate travel (Gemini). Perhaps the Sagittarius South Node will finally encourage us to release outdated energy we have as a collective toward air pollution and frivolous travel?
🏹
How is this Lunar Eclipse affecting the United States?
For the United States of America, the Gemini-Sagittarius Axis is important. Using July 4, 1776 at 4:50pm as the birth time, this makes the U.S.A a Sagittarius Rising with Uranus and Mars in Gemini in the 7th House. As a nation the U.S is encouraged in a fateful direction toward radical change (Uranus) and activism (Mars), particularly as it relates to duality (Gemini) and the Other (7th House). This duality is reflected in issues arising around racial divides, political party lines, and socialism vs. capitalism. The goal of Gemini is to build bridges between duality through change. The United States does this through collaboration and partnership.
Interestingly enough, the United States' president Donald Trump has major energy along this astrological axis. Donald Trump is a Gemini Sun with a Sagittarius Moon, indicating a year and a half of major eclipse change for the Nation's 45th President. The Sagittarius Solar Eclipse this December is at the 23°, and Donald Trump's Sun is at the 22° of Gemini, and his Moon is at the 21° of Sagittarius. In Ancient Astrology, astrologers would look to a Nation's leader to determine the fate/karma of it's people. The eclipse this December indicates the culmination of a deep karmic release for the president (such as an impeachment) and for the Nation's people. This eclipse season offer clues around changes in leadership in the United States.
For the U.S., and the whole world, the Gemini North Node continually beckons us to go toward building bridges between duality. This encourages white people to listen to the view points of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. For those individuals who have experienced discrimination because of racism, the Gemini North Node encourages you to speak up, to write and share your point of view. For those individuals who have not, the Gemini North Node asks you to acknowledge this through reading, journaling, discussion, education, and learning.
✊💙 Mars in Pisces
Another major aspect important to consider is Mars in Pisces 15° – forming a T-SQUARE with Gemini Sun 15° and Sagittarius Moon 15°. When two or more planets form a 90° angle this is called a SQUARE. This type of aspect is considered to be full of tension, with the potential for a major breakthrough. When planets form a T-SQUARE, it indicates that share modality. All three of these planets are Mutable signs, indicating change and adaptability.
Mars is the planet of Divine Action and rules over activism, physical activity, and ambition. Pisces is the sign of Universal Compassion, peace, and the end of karmic cycles. As a Collective Water sign, Pisces connects us to the emotions of groups of people. We feel this reflected in the peaceful protesting taking place (Pisces Mars), while also a deep well of emotion that has been building for centuries is coming to a head.
With Pisces Mars forming a SQUARE with the Gemini Sun, this creates an atmosphere for tension with words and communication, while also the opportunity for breakthrough. The information we are receiving around duality (Gemini Sun) is coming up to a stand off with the action we are ready to take for karmic release and peace. Pisces Mars also SQUARES the Sagittarius Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. A sudden spark of realization, the great fires of change, the deeper desire for a more expansive uniting vision (Sagittarius Eclipse) forms tension with the deeply emotional and spiritual warrior energy of the Pisces Moon.
🗣 Gemini North Node
With the North Node in Gemini, this is the direction we are heading for evolution over the next year and a half. So although we have a Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse, we are reminded to reorient toward Gemini. For some, this may have us focusing on the children in our lives and their education. For others of us, perhaps we are working on writing and sharing information, while others may be utilizing their multi-tasking skills to organize within their neighborhoods. Looking at the Gemini-Sagittarius axis in your own birth chart will help to offer you clues into how this might manifest for you. This particu If you would like help reflecting on this from an esoteric soul-centered astrological perspective, I would be honored to connect with you through a deep-dive astrological reading.
Question for reflection: how might we call upon Sagittarius to help us aim in a conscious direction towards hope for the future? How might we better use the fuel of Sagittarius to activate the Gemini North Node? How are we swiftly adapting to our ever changing immediate surroundings by connecting to our neighborhood through social engagement? How might we stay better informed and connected? Gemini reminds us to build bridges between duality. If you have a spiritual practice, how are you directing that toward your neighborhood? How are you utilizing your philosophies to build bridges between duality?

Gemini New Moon I ponder. I process. I write.
Can you cradle Darkness with Light? The Gemini New Moon is upon us. Today and this weekend offers us a time to recover and restore. We are invited inward into a place of adaptability. As the world around us continues to take new shape, simply notice what emotions this has brought up for you. Gemini energy may have us wanting to socially scatter, yet the New Moon beckons us to use this time to ponder.
What movement and changes have been brought into your life? What synchronicities and chance happenings have you encountered? Do you feel a certain charge of alignment with those individuals who have come into your life? Have you met your other Self? What new you is emerging at this time? Gift yourself space to process your ever changing reality through writing, journaling, lyricism, or spoken-word.
Gemini connects us to polarities. The contradictions in the world are illuminated over these 30 days. This New Moon is the time to get really clear on your own Truth within duality. Beyond the buzzing information and misinformation, what are you left with? Be mindful of the podcasts, media, and news sources you are engaging with. Be curiously discerning with who you interact with socially and intellectually. What starts out as an innocent conversation, can spin around into a space of confusion. Remember, Gemini can be a trickster.
Gemini asks, "should we go this way? or that way?" Gemini responds to its own question, "I think...both ways?" In a lower-form, we may find ourselves becoming split, traveling in entirely two different directions. We may say something untruthful to subconsciously create division of the Heart. Or perhaps we agree to something out of alignment, and as soon as the coast is clear, we run off! "Now you see me, now you don't".
Gemini the Twins – the Divine Messengers – often bring us new information. As our Mutable Air sign, the messages can often be surprising, contradicting, and even life changing. In my own life, I have received disheartening news, and there is nothing I can do with this information but to simply be. I have also met new neighbors (Gemini rules over the neighborhood) who also traveled up to Mount Shasta from Los Angeles. There are two of them, like twins, and they are younger, inviting me into a place of innocent presence and play. Tonight we are playing a board game, and they are the first people I have hung out with since before the pandemic. I feel heavy. I feel light. Gemini is duality. How can we hold them both?
"Poverty stole your golden shoes, But it didn't steal your laughter, And heartache came to visit me, But I knew it wasn't ever after” – Jewel (Gemini Sun + Moon).
Go on a walk with your contradictions. Play patty-cake with your Truth. Dance with all of the information and messaging you are receiving both from within and without. Then bring it into harmony. Gemini rules the hands – an extension of our Heart. Bring both sides of yourself together in a prayer position. Propose a marriage between Yin & Yang. When you bring together the contradiction of Self, a loving presence and understanding of Truth emerges.
On this Gemini New Moon, anchor in your uncertainty. Reach out and embrace the world from a place of Truth. Open yourself up to being a loving channel of Divine Communication – build bridges between duality.
I ponder. I process. I write.
Gemini New Moon Blessing to you all!

In the world around us, this Scorpio Full Moon may have us all feeling a bit more intense or sensitive, as we are highly attuned to unseen forces at play. This makes us quite adept in our ability to peer into the mysteries of it all. New information is likely to emerge around themes of sexuality and power, particularly as it relates to government, authority, career, and the environment (Scorpio's ruling planet Pluto is in Capricorn).
Be mindful of who you interact and engage with around these topics. You may be more magnetically drawn toward outdated patterns: self-sabotage, drugs and alcohol, power dynamics, sexual compulsion, co-dependency, obsession, conspiracy, secrecy and even manipulation. With sharp discernment and precision, consciously focus your energy on healing. By doing so, you hold space (Fixed) for the emotional transformation (Water) to occur. *Use the 'King of Cups' in the tarot to meditate on the Fixed Water embodiment.
The Fixed Water modality of the Scorpio Full Moon can have of us holding on to emotion. This lower vibration of Fixed Water manifests as depression, repressed rage, jealousy, holding grudges, seeking revenge, or trying to gain control or power over our emotions. If this is the case, spend time with or around water to help you release any stagnation. We may also be more susceptible to storing other people's emotions or energies. Be weary of "energy vampires" or toxic individuals or environments. Practice spiritual hygiene. Set clear boundaries. Be sure to cleanse your space and call upon assistance from your guides.
What parts of yourself are ready to die? Tune in and acknowledge these parts. But be gentle. Death is a slow and sensual process. Find a healthy outlet for processing the grief of this death-rebirth cycle. Ritual, ancestral work, altar building, tarot reading, journaling, therapy, deep conversations with a trusted friend, sexual healing, and ceremonial expression like painting, poetry, chanting, or music are all highly recommended at this time.
This is also a great time to be alone. Scorpio energy invites us into a more internal landscape. What would Georgia O'Keeffe do? (Cosmic Cousin's 'Queen of Scorpio'). O'Keeffe left New York City and moved to the middle of the desert where she transformed her grief into beautiful portraits of bones, landscapes, and flowers–reflecting on themes of Life & Death. Allow her life to be a metaphor of how to navigate the energies of the Full Moon. Deepen your esoteric studies or creative pursuits. Engage with and honor the four elements. Light a candle. Take a bath. Massage your body. Take deep breathes. If able, spend time in nature. She is here to help us with this transformation. Blessed be!

NEW WORKSHOP DOWNLOAD “SATURN LESSONS: COMMIT TO YOUR HIGHER-SELF”
PRE-ENROLLMENT OPEN
In my own practice, I refer to Saturn as the “Planet of Spiritual Adult-ing”. Saturn’s placement in your Birth Chart will indicate where soul-growth occurs throughout your lifetime, encouraging you to step up to the podium of your “Higher Self”.
I believe this workshop to be quite timely, as Saturn has now moved into the Collective Air sign of Aquarius. We have strongly been feeling this transition globally, as the world has shifted due to Covid-19.
Saturn in Aquarius is an invitation for us to commit to humanity, take responsibility for community, and to use the internet like an adult. Aquarius also rules over astrology, offering us a deeper invitation toward engaging with astrology as a tool to be taken seriously.
If you are longing to go deeper with Saturn, this workshop is for you. In this 3-hour Download we cover + review the following: * The mythology of Saturn * Saturn as the ‘Higher Self’ * Saturn + Tarot Ritual * Saturn Return * Saturn Retrograde * Saturn in Aquarius 2020 - 2022 * Saturn + Jupiter conjunction * Saturn through all 12-signs
All of this comes to you through a soul-centered holistic astrological perspective. This 3-hour Workshop Download is released on May 11, 2020. To find out why I chose this date intentionally, click here. Pre-enrollment is now open. Receive a discounted rate if you purchase on or before May 11, 2020.
What an honor to be here with you in this way! ⏳

Hey Cosmic Cousins!
In my own tarot practice, I use music to awaken a deeper connection to my intuition. In honor of Beltane, I present to you a multi-media tarot meditation collaboration with two incredibly gifted artists, both from different mediums. Enjoy the music of Michael Anticoli (@michael.anticoli) paired with the art of Claire Burgess (@the.word.witch) from Fifth Spirit Tarot. How does the music deepen your connection to the tarot? I would love to hear from you.
Michael Anticoli is an incredible musician and is very prolific with his composing. He’s releasing an album for each of the four elements: Air, Water, Fire, and Earth. Michael always wanted to create his own Tarot deck, but he’s not as much as a visual artist as he is a sonic creator. So he thought to himself, "Why not make a sonic Tarot deck?" Michael is a Taurus Sun, Gemini Moon, Scorpio Rising, and he says this about his work, “This is a meditation, a journey, the fruits of investigating my own inner archetypes, my own stories, my own experiences. Not having lyrics attached to the work helps others listen to it and paint their own stories onto it, use it for their own divination and meditation.”
Claire Burgess is a queer and non-binary tarot reader, educator, illustrator, writer, podcaster, and witch. Claire is an Aquarius Sun, Gemini Moon, and Scorpio Rising. They're the person behind The Word Witch Tarot and the host of The Word Witch Podcast, and now of course, the Fifth Spirit, which is a modern and inclusive tarot deck for a world beyond binaries. This deck is truly remarkable. It’s images are vast and really speak to my queer heart, so I wanted to share it with you on today’s episode in an effort to support the kickstarter for Fifth Spirit Tarot.
You can check out my website, as well as my instagram @cosmic.cousins, where I will also be posting the images of Fifth Spirit Tarot as a video with Michael’s music in the background.

Taurus New Moon I ground. I nourish. I share. Earth Day brings us a beautiful Taurus New Moon. This offers us a time to go within and express gratitude for the practical and reliable in our lives. Some of the themes Taurus connects us to, include: agriculture, service occupations, manual labor, and anything else that we consistently rely on (but often overlook and take for granted because of Taurus' unwavering Fixed Earth dependability). This feels particularly resonant for us all right now.
In my own life, because of the precautions we are being asked to make due to COVID-19, I have (for the first time in my life) cooked all of my meals at home for over a month. This has slowed me down considerably. A new sense of awareness is emerging. I feel much more connected and grateful for all of the farmers and workers that help me stay nourished and grounded. Without them, I would not be able to support you through astrology. We are all so interconnected. 💚
This Taurus New Moon SQUARES (makes a 90° angle to) Saturn (responsibility, structure, and time) in Aquarius (community and interconnectedness). We may feel our capacity to ground, nourish, and enjoy is coming into conflict with the restrictions that have been placed on humanity.
For those of us who are more privileged, we are encouraged to realign with our most generous and humanitarian side: donating money, time, resources, or food to those in need. Last year on the podcast, we crowned Cher 'Queen of Taurus'. I find it quite appropriate the play on words: Cher and "share". Taurus is a sign of great charity, generosity, and altruism.
For those of us who may feel constricted or lacking, this New Moon could bring up deeper emotions around self-worth and lack thereof. Slower nourishing movement is encouraged. Practical decisions that take stock and inventory of your resources are preferred. Now is a time to reintegrate simple, organic, or nature-based practices into your life.
This Taurus New Moon is also CONJUNCT (hanging out with) Uranus – the planet of radical change and revolution. There will likely be unexpected opportunities to evolve in exciting new ways. In a lower-form, Uranus is connected to urgent decisions. If the desire arises to make sudden and erratic choices, take a step back and reconnect with your body and breath. In a higher-form, Uranus inundates us with new information to propel us forward into a Future aligned with our ever-evolving Higher Self. I refer to this as "Cosmic Downloads". Be open to progressive new thoughts and ideas, particularly in relationship to the more practical and reliable parts of your life.
When connecting with your body: breathe into your throat. Massage your neck. Relax your lips and jaw. Open your mouth and stretch out your tongue. Take gentle sweet care of your skin. These are all of the Taurean parts of the body. Taurus is also connected to all 5 senses, particularly sound. Hum a sacred tune. Listen to the world around you. Feel it in your body. Open yourself up to the radical unknown by grounding down in nature. All of these help to activate and awaken your 6th sense of Intuition. Taurus New Moon blessings to you all! If you'd like to learn more, there's a new podcast episode out today that goes deeper into all of these themes.

NEW WORKSHOP DOWNLOAD “SATURN LESSONS: COMMIT TO YOUR HIGHER-SELF”
PRE-ENROLLMENT OPEN
Originally, I had planned on calling this workshop “Become your own Daddy”. However, every time I went to type this phrase out, I felt a strong “No.” So, I did as Saturn would inspire, I took a step back. I gave myself the space and time to reinvestigate my intentions for holding this workshop. I placed Saturn’s tarot card out, ‘The World’, and I dropped into a meditation. That’s when I heard the whisper: “Commit to your Higher Self”.
Traditionally, Saturn is the planet of restriction + limitation. Saturn’s themes include: responsibility, obstacles, hard work, commitment, authority, structures, tradition, old age, time, and yes, “daddy” or father.
In my own practice, I refer to Saturn as the “Planet of Spiritual Adult-ing”. Saturn’s placement in your Birth Chart will indicate where soul-growth occurs throughout your lifetime, encouraging you to step up to the podium of your “Higher Self”.

Libra Full Moon Justice Will be Served
I balance. I relate. I recalibrate.
Under the light of this Libra Full Moon, remember: everything happening in and around you is a balancing act bringing you and our planet into a deeper state of peace and harmony. If you resist the natural rhythms of this process, you may encounter frustration or irritation. Instead, how might you soften? Invite beauty into your life.
You can first start with yourself. Breathe the lunar light of the moon into your body. Visualize yourself in loving balance with both the Masculine + Feminine principles within and without. Take inventory. Have you been pushing yourself too hard? Do you need deeper rest and relaxation? Have you been holding yourself back? Or do you need to activate and stand-up in your life?
Either way, this Libra Full Moon gifts you the opportunity to recalibrate. In what ways can you bring greater balance to your life? Be gentle with yourself. Slow-down and listen. Create space for a more harmonious relationship between the Active + Passive, Yin + Yang energies in your life.
Aries Season inspires us to focus on our individual self. The Libra Full Moon is here to remind us that we cannot do this alone. Once you’ve recalibrated yourself, you’re ready to consider the Other. Reflect on your relationships and connections. Perhaps you write a list of the most sacred relationships in your life. How do they bring you a deeper sense of love and joy? Are your relationships balanced? This Libra Full Moon may bring hidden emotion up to the surface, shining a light to your interpersonal connections.
If something needs to be communicated in relationship, the Full Moon is here to illuminate. If an opportunity naturally arises, trust in the eb and flow. However, you may find this is not the time to reach out or initiate conversation around these themes, as emotions may be heightened. Instead, it might be wise to simply witness the surge of energy arising within you. Pause, wait, reflect — feel into it all — what wants to be revealed? This is a great time to journal your deeper thoughts and emotions around relationships in your life. Do you need more space in relationship? Do you desire more intimacy, support, and connection? What Truths needs to be communicated in order to bring a more loving balance to your relationships?
For those of us not in loving partnerships, this is the Full Moon to connect with your desire for deeper love and connection. Open yourself up to receiving. Allow the feeling of mutual respect, intimacy, and adoration to permeate your auric field. Connect with the love you feel for yourself. Feel the love of Spirit wash over you. Take time to reflect on the shifts you’ve made in your own life and how this is creating space for you to receive deeper love. If physical traits arise, let them go. Instead, focus on the desires and emotions underneath.
Once you’ve spent time with relationships, you’re ready to expand once more. The Libra Full Moon gifts us a bigger, more objective perspective. Aries Season hits the light switch on to our Conscious Awareness. Sometimes this can have us very intent on the immediate response, the here-and-now. Libra is here to remind us to take a more logical and detached approach. In its highest, Libra activates and awakens Peace, Justice and Liberation for All.
Reflect on and visualize a world that is balanced and fair, where Justice is served at all costs. Invite greater clarity and discernment around these themes into your life. Connect with principals of Universal Truth. How are you using your life force to ensure equality for others? In what ways can you help bring greater balance to your community? Are you being called to take more action? Or are you being asked to slow down and reduce harm through quiet stillness?
If you are unsure, that is totally okay and actually quite aligned in Libra energy. Connect to Spirit instead. Open yourself up to messages from birds, particularly: the dove, owl, egret, swan or stork. Call upon the peaceful union of God and Goddess within and without. Place your Justice and Empress tarot cards out. Visualize a healing + harmonious world. Light a candle. Say this to yourself three times: “I am a conduit for Universal Peace and Love. Allow this energy to flow through me like pure water and white light.”
To learn more about the Libra Full Moon check out the latest 'Cosmic Cousins' podcast episode, released this morning. Libra Full Moon blessings to you all!

Oh my goddess! Venus in Gemini is here. And I just realized, this episode is 55 minutes and 55 seconds. I did not even plan that, but this feels so divinely aligned with Gemini– Divine Sacred Messages from Spirit! Be open to receiving them!
In this episode we talk about the Empress, Lovers, and Queen of Swords in the tarot. All of these cards will connect us to the energy of Venus in Gemini. Then, I dive into the 4 months of Venus in Gemini, highlighting important transits during this period of time. I also look at the United States birth chart, to see how these energies might manifest for the collective.
Be sure to leave some comments and love! Thanks as always for being here!
Aries New Moon
I am. I initiate. I heal.
We are gifted an opportunity to bring deep healing to the parts of our identity repressed by our modern patriarchal society. Honor individuals of the past who carved out a path for you to be where you are today. In the words of ‘Queen of Aries’ Maya Angelou, “bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. So I rise.” Call upon the energy of the sun rise, the sprouting seed, and of New Life. Aries rules over the head and brain. Breathe into these parts of your body. Quiet the mind. Carve out alone time to listen to the soulful wisdom of your body. Reclaims respect through this intuitive journey within yourself. Aries New Moon Blessings to you all!

Pisces New Moon Portal I believe. I forgive. I release. We find ourselves here at the end of a karmic cycle. You’ve most likely been feeling this shift, perhaps in ways you are unable to articulate. Pisces plummets us into the depth of emotion, while simultaneously expands us into super-consciousness – the deep well of the ocean meets the power of Spirit realms.
Here, under the energy of the New Moon – the dark night – during Mercury Retrograde, we are reminded to soften – a gentle pause – a surrender to the Unknown. Whether through song, prayer, meditation, or writing, reach out to the Spirit world to assist you in this time of transformation and release. Keep hope and faith alive. "You are ten thousands reasons to rejoice". There is a rainbow at the end of the storm.
☔️🌈 🌊
Pisces New Moon blessings.

Cancer Full Moon Eclipse I remember. I nurture. I feel. The world is moving through structural transformations. You are likely sensing this both within and without. Major shifts and outdated patriarchal constructs are being worked through at this time. Our collective relationship to government, authority, responsibility, business, and the environment is changing. You may feel the pendulum swing from "fear and contraction" as you cling on to old modes....with an equal swing toward "expansion and release" as you surrender to the new and unknown.
This Cancer Full Moon brings to the surface the emotional undercurrents taking place underneath the surface of the structural changes. Dreams or thoughts are likely to be very heightened this week, particularly ones that connect you to your grandmother or the matriarchal line of your family. Be open to messages from the subconscious realms. Invite peace into your heart around themes of family, home, mother, and ancestral healing. If your body is achey, ask yourself, "is this mine or am I holding on to ancestral pain?"
Either way, both serve as an invitation to drop in with self-care and breathe deeply. Cancer teaches us to love the pain of the past and present with all our heart. The oyster transforms an irritant into a magnificent pearl. And so it is....
On this week's episode we explore the invitation of the Cancer Full Moon Eclipse by connecting with the tarot cards associated with Cancer: the Knight of Cups, The Chariot, and the High Priestess. We also go in deep on the Saturn-Pluto conjunction taking place this Sunday, January 12, 2020. This planetary alignment occurs only once every 36 years, starting us off on a brand new cycle around Capricorn themes.

Scorpio Season has been offering us a time to intuitively honor death and rebirth. Today, as I record this it is 11:11 – November 11, which is a powerful day in the New Age community to take a moment of silence for global peace. It’s also the Cazimi, which is when Mercury passes over the Sun. This is the moment where lessons from the Mercury Retrograde click into place. So this week on the show we cover all of this, and talk about how all of it is illuminated and amplified by the Taurus Full Moon. We also dive deep in about the Taurus–Scorpio Polarity, and connect with the tarot cards associated with these signs. Here are some links to clips of Queen of Scorpio – Georgia O'Keeffe talking about her life and work; and Queen of Taurus – Cher Breaks Down 22 Looks From 1965 to Now. By honoring these two legendary women's lives and work, we can deepen our connection to and understanding of Scorpio and Taurus.

Hey cousins! Here we are, Mercury Retrograde, right at the Capricorn Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. There are a lot of opportunities for deep healing, release, and spiritual upgrades at this time. If you are listening to this live, it is Tuesday, July 16, 2019, and the Sun is in Cancer, and the Moon is in Capricorn. So in other words we have a Frida Kahlo Sun, and a Michelle Obama Moon! So we will touch base with both of these Zodiac Queens, so we can meditate on the high-vibe invitation for this time. On this week’s episode, to-be-sure, we explore the invitation of the current transits and this Capricorn Lunar Eclipse. We talk about the Cancer-Capricorn polarity, mercury Rx, and then we round out by exploring the birth chart of Marianne Williamson, spiritual teacher and author of ‘Return to Love’ and many other books, who is also seeking the Democratic nomination for the 2020 United States presidential election. Marianne Williamson is a Cancer Sun and Capricorn Moon, so offers us a window into understanding this Full Moon. So we’ll take a look at her chart on this episode!

'Cosmic Cousins' is back with Season 6 of the show! And it’s a full on maturation and deepening of our normal astrological flow! Get ready to go even deeper than before. I feel so much more grounded and rejuvenated after taking some much needed time off since the “Queens of the Zodiac” project.

To reflect that, this will now be a bi-monthly podcast, released on both New and Full Moons. On this episode, we talk about the Gemini New Moon, and I also lead you through a Gemini New Moon Shadow-work Meditation for Integration. We discuss Gemini’s esoteric ruling planet Venus.

Saturn, the planet of authority and commitment, and Uranus the planet of revolution and change. So it’s quite a juxtaposition that Aquarius energy is inviting us into. We will also being honoring the life of legendary performance artist Yoko Ono (Saturn in Aquarius/Uranus in Aries) and the syndicated radio show host Delilah Rene (Saturn in Capricorn/Uranus in Leo) both incredible examples of the Aquarian spirit.

We also talk about the Queen of the Zodiac of course, and she also shares that Aquarius is most likely to go to a Libra for advice, to find out why tune into the end of the show.

Hey Cosmic Cousins! Happy New Year 2019! And Happy Eclipse Season!
Capricorn energy is connected to father and the patriarchal line. You may have remember if you’ve been listening to the show regularly, during Cancer season, we talked about mother and the matriarchal. So today on the show, we are going to be honoring father through a guided meditation for inner-father healing. Then, feel into the depths of Capricorn as we explore the symbol of the Sea-Goat, and how Capricorn incarnated to bring us magic through ambition and depth of emotion, also symbolized by the Unicorn. We also explore the importance of the polarity between Earth and Water by looking towards the polar signs Capricorn and Cancer. This week's episode is shorter than normal as I am transitioning back from my cross-country road trip, so thank you for your very Capricorn-like patience. We should be back to normal episodes starting next week. Sending you all love during this Eclipse Season. Take sweet care cousins, and remember...deep breathes.

Hey Cousins! Happy Halloween. Happy Samhain! Happy Day of the Dead. Happy Witches New Year! All of it. I am so stoked that it lined up for us to gather on this day, if you are listening live October 31, 2018. This is a very special time of year, and I think a lot of us in the astrology community and esoteric community really feel connected to this time of year, because it is all about going into the depths, the subconscious, exploring our shadows, and honoring death and rebirth and the cycles of nature and life. And this is exactly what we do in an astrology practice. By honoring the cycles of the planets, we tune into the expansiveness of our souls. And so thanks for being here today. On this week’s episode, we will have a special Halloween meditation with a pumpkin theme. Then, I will update you on the transits for this week.

I am so excited to be here with you all, as always, but particularly this week because it is the finale of Season 3. We’ve now reached up to 50,000 downloads, and this season has averaged more downloads per episode than the previous two seasons. So we are growing here together. . So let’s go ahead and get into it. What we have lined up for you today, it’s a really special episode. We are going to first just kinda touch base about the current transits, and also what the next 6 weeks has in store for us, because it is Mercury Retrograde. And so if you are newer to the show, Mercury Retrograde marks the end of a season here on this podcast. Which is why today is the finale, because mercury goes retrograde next wednsday. July 25. So we’ll break down mercury retrograde first. . Then second, we are looking at our final 2 cancer queens birth charts. We are gonna look at and honor the life of Frida Kahlo’s by looking at her birth chart. She is a cancer sun- taurus moon- Leo rising. . And then, we are gonna honor the life of and look at the birth chart of Princess Diana. She is a cancer sun- Aquarius moon- sagittarius rising. . And so even just by looking at their triple tier, we can really feel how differently their flavor of cancer is expressed. Frida’s coming in through the earthly taurus and vibrant Leo. And Diana’s coming through the lens of humanitarian Aquarius and visionary sagittarius. So beautiful. So yeh, we will honor both of these incredible cancer legend’s lives today. . And then finally, to round this very heart-felt episode off, y’all better get your tissues ready, because we are sitting down with three soul-centered Cancers. And my heart literally melts when I think about the conversation and dialogue we created. These three Cancer’s are a true living embodiment of the resiliency and strength of the Crab. It’s a very diverse panel, and all three have experienced their own adversity throughout life, but have manage to rise above, becoming more embodied and compassionate than before. . On our panel we Jungle Julia who is the founder of Goddess in Recovery, Doug Peck who is multi-genre musical director and runs a free summer musical theatre program for high school-age artists. And Katie McCarthy a Cancer survivor, mother, and makeup artist based on the Big Island of Hawai’i who just lost her home to the recent volcanic activity. .And so, just by these slight introductions, you can probably already sense that our conversations revolve around some deeply personal and healing topics.
In our time together, we talk about the following:
Cancer’s relationship to Health, Food, and the Body Blood as a symbol of Cancer and how it links us to all women and the past Cancer + Mommy Issues “Kinky Crab;” Dispelling Myth’s around Cancer's Sexuality Cancer as a Cardinal Sign Pele the Volcano Goddess Privilege + Access in Art
How Cancer is Recharged through Giving The Moon + Mysticism of Cancer Queen of Cancer Virtual Cancer Altar A led Emotional Freedom Technique Meditation
We also listen to two very Cancer themed songs during our time together. One of which Doug arranged for the stage version of Disney’s The Jungle Book. And the other song, Katie’s husband Drew wrote recently, about their home being taken by the lava. I literally can not wait for you to listen to this panel. It’s so deeply rich. . Then of course at the end of our convo, the Cancer Panel casts their vote for the Queen of Cancer. And then at the end of this episode, we will crown either Princess Diana or Frida Kahlo, the first ever queen of cancer . Again, I am so grateful to have the podcast as a creative outlet, to channel my energy towards something that may be bringing benefit to you and your life. So let’s go ahead and get into it!

Hey cousins! Happy July. We have a deep felt, powerful Cancer episode for you all this week. We’re gonna first start with exploration of Independence Day here in the US today by exploring Cancer themes of patriotism, nationalism, ancestors, family, tradition, and home, and what this day may bring up for minorities, mystics, and queers, and how to work with this energy when you are committed to a path of expansion and evolution through the practice of astrology. Then, I am offering you a guided meditation for embodied health that is connected to astrology and ancestral healing, offering of love and forgiveness, clearing out spiritual debris within our karmic and ancestry line, which is part of the soul-centered cancer. I also introduce the idea of the pearl being a symbol for the soul-centered cancer. And then, this week, instead of looking at an actual human’s birth chart, we are looking at the birth chart of the United States. So yes, you can look at and study the birth chart of entities as well. Events, collective energy, anniversaries, partnerships, all of that, so I explain what it is like to do a reading for something that is non-human as well, and then, we will look at some history, which is very cancer and honor the United States by looking at her birth chart. The United States is a Cancer sun, Aquarius Moon, Sagittarius rising. And then finally, we round this episode off chatting it up with inspiring cancer sun, pisces moon, taurus rising, Kelsey Bee of Deep Sea Astrology. Kelsea is a radical queer femme astrologer, whose practice incorporates an anti-oppression framework. In our convo we cover many rich topics including: -anti-capitalism -acknowledging whiteness in astrology -queering astrology -life as a foster parent for queer child -North Node in cancer; South node in Capricorn The history of queer revolution through uranus transits -social justice and astrology -queer astrology conference -“cancer is more than crying” -pisces moon, taurus rising -and the moon as ruling planet of cancer
Sun is in Princess Diana. And the moon is in Michelle Obama. That’s right, you heard me. Sun is in Cancer and Moon is Capricorn, Full moon early this Thursday morning, June 28.
And so we talk about this Full Moon in Capricorn Energy, and in addition we explore the polar energy of Cancer-Capricorn. How Cancer allowing themselves to leave their shell for the qualities of Capricorn brings this crab from a hard shell to a beautiful cherished pearl. Then, we explore the incredible legend, feminist, humanitarian, and singer songwriter Cyndi Lauper’s birth chart. Cyndi is serving us all kinds of cancer feels with four planets in this emotionally crabby, yet nurturing sign. So we look at her birth chart, honor her life, and talk about her triple tier Cancer Sun-Scorpio Moon- and Aquarius Rising, and how that has manifested through her life and work. And then, to round this deep-felt, but also fierce episode off, we have the opportunity to sit down with Tess Giberson, City Witch, a nonbinary anarchist tarot slinging witch from Canada serving us some double Cancer, sun and moon, Aries Rising high vibes. So it’s a packed out episode as always, SUCH an honor to be here.
For starters: the cover-art for this week's episode is by Stefanie Caponi. If you aren't familiar with her artwork and tarot deck please check her out. I forgot to announce this at the beginning of the episode, so please send her love and go follow her!
For this week's episode: In light of the recent suicide of Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade, and feeling moved by more people opening up talking about their depression, I felt inspired to add to the conversation.
And so, we first start off talking about the Grand Trine we will be experiencing this Cancer Season between Sun in Cancer, Jupiter in Scorpio, and Neptune in Pisces. And how this is a wonderful invitation to deepen our connection to ourself and spirit, but also how this energy could make us feel a bit more depressed or tend towards escapism at this time.
We also go deep in on depression. Viewing it through the lens of the chakra system and how it may manifests through the different zodiacal signs of astrology. And we have 13 special guests on the show today. One person for each astrological sign, and a representative for saturn return. And they will talk briefly about their experience with depression and what they have done to move through it.
We then honor the life of Anthony Bourdain, who’s birthday is this week. He is a cancer sun, with a sagittarius north node and he traveled the world building bridges with other cultures through food, but he also struggled with profound loneliness and depression.
And then we also sit down and go deep into the waters of Cancer with my soul-sister Katie Watkins (@atltopdx). In our conversation, we cover many deep topics around depression and Cancer.
Oh and i announce the 16 new queens for the "Queen of Cancer!"
Namaste Cosmic Cousins!
We narrowed down 16 queens to our final two. So we have the fairy godmother of rock n roll Stevie Nicks heading up against the legendary blonde-bombshell Marilyn Monroe. So, today on the show, we crown the first ever Cosmic Cousin’s “Queen of Gemini.” Also on this episode, I share with you the five traits of a soul-centered Gemini, we honor both Stevie Nicks and Marilyn Monroe by looking at their birth chart. And to round it all off, there is an easy breezy Gemini panel, with 4 super rad gemini's. 1. Aiden Arata: TV Production by day, Meme Queen by night, Wordsmith & Poet, Cannabis Advocate 2.

We’re gonna first start out with an overview of what the chakra system is, and how we can utilize it in our astrology practice, I’ll lead you through a little guided meditation with that based off of the current transits. Then we will talk about the Queen of Gemini bracket, which we are down to the final 4 queens. We also create dialogue around Gemini’s ability to synthesize information through fluid movement and kinesthetic awareness. Then, we look at the life and birth chart the great legend Josephine baker. Josephine baker was the first person of color to become a world-wide entertainer and to star in a major motion picture.

This episode we go into a deep dive of Understanding Gemini. We discuss Gemini as the "paperboy" deliving life's messages, we talk about it's polarization to Sagittarius, and how this activates it's soul-centered attributes of being the Divine Messenger.
Then we honor the life of Judy Garland, and how her first prominent role as 'Dorothy' is so profound as a symbol of Gemini through her innocence, intelligence, and curiosity. Judy Garland's unique triple tier combo of Gemini Sun, Sagittarius Moon, Cancer Rising is seen through this fictional character. Dorothy is open with wide eyed wonderment, the girl next door (Gemini) but she is subconsciously drawn to life beyond the rainbow and because of this desire for expansion she is propelled to a far off land (Sagittarius Moon) where she is exploring new friends in a playful way (Gemini) but coming into contact with a new world view (Sag moon). But the overall storyline here is that she is lost and longs to go back to Kansas, “there’s no place like home.” And through this hero’s journey, she reawakens to her sensitive, caring nature (Cancer Rising), providing support for her new friends, and expands into her potential to more deeply understand and appreciate her very own sense of home within herself and her surroundings (Cancer Rising). The lost little girl in a far off land trying to find her way home. Gemini-Sagittarius-Cancer. This character is a metaphor for Judy Garland's entire life, and we go into this and more, on this incredible chart analysis of Judy Garland!
And then we have an amazing conversation with Edgar Fabian Frias, a well-renowned public figure in the mystic community of Los Angeles, serving us some magic mutant, multi-tasking, crystal witch, high-vibe Gemini energy.
In this conversation we cover so many fresh topics including dialogue around: decolonization, cultural appropriation, being non-binary, reclaiming power as a queer, angels and fairies, synchronicities, psychic powers, the polarization of Gemini and Sagittarius, mutable energy, how to restructure your life as an artist, somatic therapy, balancing ambition with receptivity, and of course, who their pick is for QUEEN OF GEMINI!!!! Such an incredible conversation! I can’t wait for you to tune in!
It’s Gemini Season. And as I sat down to write out some notes from this show, a bird flew in the window of my home. I talk about this, and how it's a message for us all this Gemini Season. There's a mini-gemini meditation, and we talk about how to work with this energy over the coming month.
We also have an intimate and hillarious conversation with Colin Bedell, Gemini Sun Capricorn Moon, Leo Rising. Colin is the creator of Queer Cosmos, and is an actual Gemini Twin from the South Shore of Long Island, New York. He is a weekly horoscope writer for Cosmopolitan and a contributor for Astrology.com.
In our conversation, we cover a myriad of rich content, including: Natal mercury rx, Astrology and Fashion, life as a Gemini Sun with a Cancer Mother, Leo risings, Part of Fortune in the 8th House, and the United astrology conference. Colin also explains how to really show love to a Gemini and why Gemini is most compatabile with Pisces. I enjoyed this conversation so much, naturally as he's a Gemini, but really because he has found a way to bring the playfulness and seriousness of astrology together.

When Uranus enters a new sign, it indicates transformational shifts in our lives, both in our individual lives and on a collective scale. We will be talking all about this new huge transit that only happens once every 80 years or so, of Uranus entering Taurus. I'll introduce you to this planet, this transit, and we’ll talk about it’s deeper meaning, and what this means for you and for the collective.
Also, on this episode, the first ever Cosmic Cousins: "Queen of Taurus" is crowned! The Final 2 Taurus Queens are Cher and Coretta Scott King, and it’s literally neck and neck. The winning Queen won by ONE VOTE. #canyoubelieve? Anyways, we look at both of their charts and honor both of these great legends on this episode! But you will have to wait until after the Taurus panel to hear who wins!!! On our taurus panel, we have three earthy cosmic cousins, Jordyn, a hedgewitch, herbalist, and tarot reader from Forida. We have Michael, a composer, avid gardener, and astrologer from Los Angeles, and incredible spoken word poet, performer, and permaculture enthusiast, Jasper from Amsterdam. . . On this panel we listen to ""Ultra Ecosexual Polyamory. Permaculture ASAP" a spoken word performance by Jasper, and we are graced with a beautiful song composed by Michael on the piano called "2nd House Slow Down." We also go deep, covering Taurean budget advice, Taurus’ connection to nature, depression and shadow work, Uranus in Taurus, Venus as Taurus’s ruling planet, and many more topics. It's a long panel discussion, and we joked that Taurus like things to linger. And to be sure, this convo not only lingers, but it’s super cozy and warm, we talk about food and home, giving us the Taurus feels before we move into Gemini Season next week.
Welcome back to another week of the show. A lot has happened since we last hung out. And so I’d like to apologize for getting this episode out to you late this week! But sometimes volcanoes erupt and files become corrupt.
The first part of the episode we honor the earthquakes and volcano activity on the Big Island of Hawaii that has displaced many people, by exploring and honoring Pele, the Hawaiian Volcano Goddess, and how we can utilize one of her fables to work with our emotions and volatile and destructive energy in our life. I also share my favorite Rumi poem that is related to this!
And then we explore the I.C. or the Imum Coeli in your birth chart, and how you can use it as a point of reference to understanding the deep well of emotions that you may have brewing up deep within you. And how that is also connected to your mother! With mother’s day right around the corner, it’d be silly for us not to talk about and honor our mom’s so yes, we are gonna be talking about the IC!
And then we sit down and have an incredible powerful talk with Taurus Sun, Tirrell Cherry, a soul-cycle instructor and motivational youtube personality based in San Fransico. In our conversation we cover Taurus sun, Aries Moon, and Virgo Rising. And we chat it up about living fearlessly, angel numbers, and interconnectedness, and we create dialogue around the words brown and queer, and also there’s a little bit of talk on the Part of Fortune, the point in our chart that shows where we are fortunate and abundant. We even get to listen to an 8 minute Law of Attraction lesson from Tirrell, that is super in alignment with the energy of the Taurus New Moon, which is this Tuesday coming up, May 15.
I hope you enjoy! Love you cousins!
Hey cousins! Welcome back to another week of soul-centered astrology. *If you tuned into this episode within the first 1.5 hour of it being uploaded, there were some complications with the fade out of audio during the Audrey Hepburn section, but it has been fixed and a new file has been uploaded. I am so sorry about that. :( On today's episode, we define what "soul-centered astrology" means, as well as talk about the term "turbulent" and "intense" that gets tossed around often in the astrology world. Then, we explore an overview of the current transits and your need-to-know for the week ahead. We also honor the energy of Taurus by doing a deep dive into this Venus-ruled archetype. We talk about everything you need to know about the evolution of the soul-centered Taurus, including going into the underworld. Then, we honor the life and celebrate the solar return (May 4) of the incredible humanitarian and fashion icon, Audrey Hepburn. Audrey is a Taurus Sun, Pisces Moon, serving us some mad Aquarius Rising vibes. So to be sure I’m excited to share with you about her incredibley fascinating life and birth chart. And then to round this very elegant episode off, we get the wonderful opportunity to sit down with the incredible musician and reiki master, Erika Spring. Erika is a Taurus Sun - Aquarius moon- and Pisces Rising, which is almost he same combo as Audrey Hepburn. Their moon and risings are swapped, but yeh Erika is mad chill and super sweet and down-to-earth. We also listen to three or Erika's songs, that I think are perfect for a spring-time anthem! And also, shout out to the amazing image for this episode! It is by sister astrologer and incredible human @etshipley the foudner of Tack Healing Arts. if you get a chance, check out her astrology work. She offers incredible soul-centred astrological updates that I think would definitely resonate with you all! I hope you enjoy cousins.

First up on this sensual Taurus episode, we have a mini intro to understanding Taurus. But because the Scorpio Full Moon is this week, on Sunday, April 29, we mainly will be exploring how Scorpio is a polar energy to Taurus. We talk about what the full moon invites us into over the coming week. And focus on the soul-centered aspect of the balance between Taurus and Scorpio. Then, we honor the great legend, Barbra Streisand, Taurus Sun, who's birthday is on April 24. We cover Taurus Sun, Aries Rising, and Venus in Pisces in the 12th House. And then to round this sensual episode off, we get a chance to talk to Adriana Rizzolo. In our heart-felt conversation, Adriana explains how being a Taurus has been a painful and pleasurable well-worth journey of coming back home to her body. It’s also a convo very in alignment with the energy of the Scorpio Full Moon, including: shadow work, deep transformation through sexuality, sobriety, and healing her relationship with her father after his death.

Hey cousins! Welcome back to another week of soul-centered astrology. It’s a big week for us all, as the cosmic wheel turns and brings us right into the beginning of the new cycle with Aries season. So Happy New Year! Happy Equinox! And Happy Aries Season.
For the season finale, we first start off touching base with the theme for Season 2, Saturn in Capricorn, and how that influences this Aries Season, as Aries Ruling Planet Mars is also in the productive and resourceful Capricorn. Then, you’ll enjoy a meditation for embodied health based off the current transits for the next month, which will be a super grounding way to come into this season. Then, we’re gonna talk about the Spring Equinox, Aries Season, and the soul-invitation of Aries, as well as what it means to be an Aries Sun, Moon, and Rising. We will talk bout what transits will be happening over the coming weeks, including Full Moon in Libra and Venus entering Taurus.

So we’ll dispel the fear round Mercury Rx, and talk about practices you can integrate into your life during this transits. Then, after we’ve grounded our ass, we’ll be looking at the birth chart and honoring the life of the great Dr. Maya Angelou. Maya Angelou is beyond an inspiration as a living embodiment of the pioneering energy of an Aries Sun. Her birth chart is an incredible representation of this, so I can not wait to get into the astrology components of her life. And then we round this episode off, with a steamy conversation with the double fire, water rising Zac Monday. Zac @monzeez is an Aries Sun on the Pisces Cusp, Aries Moon, and Scorpio Ascendant. We talk about how an Aries on the Pisces Cusp might differ from another Aries; what it’s like to date an Aries, Taurus, and Geminil; and cover the following astrology topics: Pluto on the Ascendant, Aries Moon, Scorpio Rising, Aries as the Emperor + Magician in the tarot, and what it means to have your Sun and Moon in the same astrological sign.

Hey cousins! Welcome back to another week of soul-centered astrology. Whether you are new to astrology, or are well seasoned, it doesn't matter. Because this show is intended for you to carve out time to be with yourself, through some guided meditation, to learn about and be inspired by the life of someone who is ushering in the New Age with their radical offerings, and then to create dialogue with other Cosmic Cousins who vibe with this astrology vocabulary. So we’re gonna do all that and more on this special episode.
So on this special episode, we are honoring the work and life of Pisces Goddess Erykah Badu, as voted on by you all on Instagram, you spoke loud and clear and she won by like 70% of the votes, so we will be talking all the planets in her chart, she’s hella pisces. We will also be talking and meditating a bit on the Pisces New Moon, to give us a little sweet taste of embodied health. And then to round out this episode we have the first ever Cosmic Cousins Astrological Panel, with a dream team Pisces Panel, with a Pisces Sun, Moon, and Rising. We’ve got NYC based Teva Livne, our pisces sun rep, giving us some fierce otherworld pisces vibes through her artwork and outlook, we got Miami based Adrienne Fisher of Meraki Nomad giving us Pisces Moon vibes with her deeply empathetic nature and mystical ritual business offerings, and then of course the high vibe Risces Rising, Luke Simon, reiki master, queer sex magician, mystic musician, Sex Crystals, Softer Image, Pisces Rising King. So all of that and more! I couldn’t be more thrilled to be here with you all for another week, and riding this last wave of Pisces Season. I had originally said the this was gonna be the season finale. But I have exciting news, even though this is a 2.5 hour episode and I planned it to be super epic, like a season finale should be, I got lots of fiery feedback from Aries (big surprise there), being like “WHAT ABOUT ME?!” So, we will do one last episode for this season. The season finale will be NEXT week on Understanding Aries and honoring the Spring Equinox. A few updates from me... I’m Trash Canyon aka Canyon Rainmaker aka Jeff Hinshaw aka Jeph Norman Fox. Yes, I have lots of names, because I have lots of offerings and projects. But it’s all good. One of the offerings I am most excited about is my one-on-one mentorship program. This is a 12-week mentorship program in which we will dive deep into astrology. Each week we will gather through the lens of an astrological sign, going from Aries to pisces. You will learn how to be an astrologer, how to utilize it in your healing practice, how to read others charts, you’ll learn about transits, sextile, trines, conjunctions, progressed astrology, all of it and more. It’s a 12 week deep dive immersive. I also have another offering I am super excited about, for those looking for more of a group therapy vibe format. I am offering a Year Course Called Cosmic Cousins: Astro Soul Journey. Which is a group that meets online twice a month, for a total of 24 gatherings. This starts in April and goes all the way until March of 2019. I also offer private Astro soul .mp3 readings as well, and there’s some new openings up for that. Love you cousins!
Hey cousins! Welcome back to another week of soul-centered astrology. I’m super happy to be here as always. It’s such a privilege to be on this journey of self-discovery through the lens of astrology.
We’ve got a deeply powerful Pisces episode for you this week. We’ll first start talking about some of the current transits, with a little Venus Transit meditation for grounding our ass during this expansive time of year. Then, for deeper study, we will look at the ruling planet for pisces, the great and mysterious Neptune. We really go in there, look at Neptune in the following generations: Neptune in Libra. 1942-1957 Scorpio 1955 - 1970 Sagittarius - 1970 - 1984 Capricorn - 1984 - 1998 Aquarius - 1998 - 2012 Pisces - 2011 - 2024 And we also explore what it means for Neptune to be in Pisces now, and over the next 6 years.
Then, we're celebrating the birthday of honoring the life of the incredibly emotional, evocative, and dreamy Anais Nin. Anais Nin is a famous novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica, and she has helped inspire confidence in the expression of emotionality, femininity, and sexuality through written word. She was a multiple conjunct Pisces (Sun, Jupiter Venus) with Libra Rising and her Mars and North Node are close to her Libran Ascendent, so to be sure we’re gonna get into all of that! We'll listen to some clips of her work and interviews.
And then this episode rounds off with another Pisces Sun, and another Anais. Too perfect. Anais Mystical Mandrake Root, who is a gifted astrologer, root priestess, and mystical herbalist based in New York City and New Orleans. She sheds some incredible light to the multi-dimensional nature of Pisces, she shares tips on how to cleanse the aura and ground the energy as a Pisces, and then we talk what life is like growing up as one of four siblings in a family with a Double Taurus Mother. In addition, I just launched open enrollment for working with me one-on-one. If you’re interested in deepening your astrology practice, I now have a 12-week mentorship immersion available, as well as a 6-pack and 3-pack study package. These study sessions will be remotely over video chat online, so they are available no matter where in the world you are. I have room to work with four different individuals who feels the call to deepen their practice. So to find out more, visit astrologycousins.com I hope you enjoy!
Hey hey cosmic cousins! Welcome back to another week of soul-centered astrology. I am currently couch surfing at the moment, in Thai Town in Los Angeles, so definitely riding the ocean wave’s of Pisces Season. What an incredibly magical and mysterious time of year. Now is a time for us to stay focused and grounded in our rituals. This is super important during Pisces time of year, and it’s something the Virgo Moon invites us into this week. So we’ll talk about that on the show today. You can look forward to a deep dive into understanding of the Virgo Moon, how it balances Pisces energy, and ritual and meditation you can partake in to make the most of this transit.
We’re also going to be honoring the life of and celebrating the birthday of the incredible Pisces Sun, Nina Simone. As a trained musician, jazz vocalist, and social activist in the civil rights movement, Nina Simone helped to usher in a world in alignment with the higher virtues and values of universality. So to be sure, she is a Cosmic Cousin we can all look up to. Her chart is off the wall, with 5 planets in the first house, and her Sun Moon and Rising are the last three signs of the cosmic wheel of expansion, Capricorn Moon, Aquarius Rising, Pisces Sun. So we’re gonna get into all of that! And listen to some clips of her songs for research purposes, including: 'Mississippi Goddamn,' 'Sea-Line Woman,' 'Feelin' Good,' and of course the great 'Young, Gifted, and Black.' If you are familiar with Nina Simone, you know her voice and music is filled with an Ocean of Emotion, so it’s no surprise she’s a Pisces Sun! And then this episode rounds off with an incredibly intimate and sweet interview with incredible Pisces Sun Birth Doula, Catalina Clark. Which her birthday is today. Happy Solar Return Catalina! She shares her journey transitioning from working in Night Life in NYC, to finding yoga, moving into pre-natal yoga, and then working with pregnant women and mothers as a doubla. Which is super cool, because she’s a Cancer Rising, so we see that being reflected there too. Beautiful beautiful Pisces woman, and it was such an honor to interview her. So I hope you stick around for that too! Check her instagram out at @catalina.clark Now that I am in Los Angeles, I have more time and space for astrology readings. I will also be adding space for some deep dive one-on-one mentorships in the weeks to come. You can find out more informtion on that at www.astrologycousins.com. You can also follow @astrology.cousins. And please remember to rate, subscribe, follow, and share. Happy Virgo Full Moon, y'all!

This week, we dive deep into the universal oceans of Pisces. We cover the forecast for the coming month! We’ll also tune into our bodies, using the current transits as inspiration. And we discuss Saturn in Capricorn, as well as Saturn in Retrograde.
Hey cousins! A super witchy episode for you this week. First up we talk about the Eclipse Season as a powerful opportunity for soul re-alighment. I share with you my practice with spirit animals and how the Snow Owl, the higher octave of Aquarius, is a great energy to concentrate on during this next week. We then look at the birth chart of great mystic and legend Pamela Colman Smith’s birth chart. She is an Aquarius Sun and Leo moon and is the illustrator of the world famous Rider Waite tarot, which is now since been upgraded to the Smith Centinneial Tarot. So we’ll be honoring her life and her work and of course looking at her birth chart. And then we’ll round this episode off with the incredible Full Time Witch, Erin Aquarian, Aquarius Sun, Scorpio Moon, Capricorn Rising. Erin is a super bad ass tarot reader and the lead lungs to a matriarchal rage doom pop band. We talk Divine Feminine, tarot, Capitalism, life as an Aquarius and Capricorn rising, and we even get to listen to one of her invocations, oh and also her anti-commerercial. Please note, the interview with Erin was not the best receptive, so the interview is spliced in some parts. So if the conversation doesn’t Segway correctly, It’s because I was cutting out static. I am so sorry about that. Also, I promised I would do some of my spoken word and rap via @thewelltarot ’s request to know what “bleep bleep I’m a fucking black sheep” was about. But I forgot to add it at the end of this episode, lol, so I will have to do it next time. : LOVE YALL!
Riding the wave of this Lunar Eclipse to bring you another jam packed episode, Cousins! On this episode we go deep into the invitation of this Leo Supermoon Lunar Eclipse. We talk about the three tiers of Leo's consciousness, as well as the connection Aquarius and Leo share. This is also a powerful episode for understanding Leo Moon, not just in transits, but in your own chart, if you yourself are a Leo Moon.
Then, I'm literally brought to tears when talking about the life of and looking at the birth chart of great legend, Bob Marley @bobmarley (birthday February 6). Bob Marley is more than just a world-renowned musician. Bob Marley is a powerful Aquarian that serves as symbol of world peace. We dive deep into his chart and honor this incredible humans life! “One love” to you all!
And then finally this dynamic episode is rounded out with another powerful Aquarian Musician, Drew Daniels! He brings such a powerful dose of Leo Full Moon Magic. Leo rules over the heart, and the cover to his album, “Live from the

We also talk about Saturn Return, specifically Saturn in Capricorn’s moving through their Saturn Return now.
Then we look at the incredible Cosmic Aquarius, Ellen Degeneres’s birth chart! But more so than that, this episode is great for learning about transits! We look at the three most significant events in Ellen’s life. (1. The first time she aired on tv on Johnny Carson’s late night show. 2. When she publicly came out. 3. And when she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Obama) and how that lines up with her Saturn Return’s and also how her ruling planet Uranus influences her life! Exciting discoveries!
Then finally, we sit down with Lynn Casper of queer music podcast homoground! We talk life as an Aquarius, and what the “New Age” means. Which led into an intimate discussion about gender pronouns and being queer.
Jam packed y’all! Sending you love blasts!
On today’s episode, we’re gonna be grounding our ass with the New Moon in Capricorn. It’s a potent one because not only does it mark the beginning of Eclipse season, but it is also the first New Moon of a three year cycle with Saturn in Capricorn. So we’ll be talking self-discovery and New Moon ritual. I’ll lead a little meditation for embodied health inspired by this, and we will also be looking at a tarot spread for this new moon as well.
Then we honor the life of Michelle Obama. Michelle is a Capricorn. Her birthday is January 17th (which is today if you are listening to this episode when it aired). So we will celebrate our former first lady’s birthday by looking at this powerful Capricorn Sun, Aries Rising's birth chart for some deeper learning.
Then here is a super fun and informative interview for anyone interested in ritual and plant spirit medicine. We have the honor of riding a cosmic slip n slide with founder of As Above Herbals, Jacqueline Zajdman, @asaboveherbals a Capricorn Sun, Leo Rising herbalist based in Los Angelos. In this interview she shares herbs great for this New Moon, as well as her relationship to astrology and ritual. It’s also a super great interview for anyone interested in reading birth charts, as we break down all 12 houses in the chart.
This is a powerful episode for Capricorn Season, of course. An in-depth, soul-centered investigation into Saturn in Capricorn. I share ways to use astrology as a tool for evolution, as well as how to utilize it to bring healing into the body. Then, we look at the incredible spiritual leader Aquarius sun, Sagittarius-Capricorn Cusp Rising, Oprah Winfrey's birth chart and talk about her latest acceptance speech. Then, this dynamic episode is rounded off with an incredibly heart-felt interview with double Capricorn, Lisa Levine, mother and spiritual business owner.

Happy New Year Cosmic Cousins! On this episode, I introduce the house system I work with, the placidus house system, and my eco-documetary project "Trash Canyon: Year of No Waste." I also share a really practical way of understanding the current transits through the lens of soul-centered astrology. With just one question for each planet, you can allow your intentions and energy for the week ahead and the New year to be informed by the current astrological transits. So I am really excited to share that with you. Below you will find these questions listed out.
Also, on this episode, I had the great opportunity to interview bad ass tarot reader and healer, Lindsay Mack.

This Thanksgiving we may have a lot of uncomfortable but urgent things to talk about at our dinner tables, including misogyny, sexual violence against women, white supremacy and xenophobia. With Jupiter in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn, we have the opportunity to confront these aspects both within ourselves and on a collective. But perhaps in a much more light-hearted Sagittarian way. On Episode 10, we go over the invitation of Sagittarius Season, as well as talk a little bit about Shadow Work. Mercury Retrograde is also introduced. Enjoy!
On this very special episode of Cosmic Cousins, you will be guided through a soul-centered Scorpio New Moon Chakra Meditation inspired by the current transits. This is an episode to listen to when you are able to carve out sacred time for coming home to yourself, through presence and intention.
