Play Pause

28d ago1:31:03

1:31:03

This conversation was a pleasant surprise. I reached out to Ray Merriman to return for a yearly conversation about Financial Astrology and the markets, and he pointed me instead to Pouyan. He works with Ray at MMA and was a treat to talk to. He shares his story of how he got involved in Financial Astrology, alongside many helpful anecdotes, and a l…

Why Astrology with Mark Jones 1:08:47

2M ago1:08:47

1:08:47

Each year, I try to make my way up to Wales to spend some quality time with Mark. We also try to record a sliver of our endless conversations. This year, we stumbled into the existential questions around astrology: Why did we get involved? Why are we still involved? And really, what is valuable about it…? Some of these ideas, along with many others…

4M ago1:14:25

1:14:25

In this show, Dan returns—this time solo without SJ—to discuss the state of the world and some attractive underground theories. I always learn from Dan. He's quite the investigator. With mundane astrology on his side, there is a cornucopia of ideas to explore that give that extra layer—or context—to everything that is happening. I loved this conver…

In this little solo pod, I reflect on 16 years (2 Venus cycles) of podcasting and doing astrology. It's been a journey. The show is part educational and a moment to check in with you all. A lot has changed in the 16 years of doing these, and I do feel there will be another 8, yet for now, I'm still pupating…. enjoy, adam to learn Astrology: ....to …

We were snowed in, so we decided to do a remote episode. We didn't record during all of 2024, our resolution was to record one episode in 2025. So now we can relax for the rest of the year. Thank God.

Financial Astrology with Ray Merriman 1:12:07

1:12:07

I'm excited to share with you the long-overdue conversation with Ray Merriman. He's been on my radar since the beginning, I just never felt the time was right to invite him on…until now. I'm glad I waited. I was able to keep up and we had an engaging chat about all things related to financial astrology. Even if you aren't interested in the topic, I…

Understanding the Zodiac with Gemini Brett 1:27:47

11M ago1:27:47

1:27:47

This show was meant to be about lunar standstills, yet that's not quite what happened. It often happens with Brett and I. Lots of Gemini between us. What ended up being discussed were the three main zodiacs, some astronomy, and a hint of the lunar standstill. We will treat this one as part 1; part 2 will cover what we originally set out to explore.…

In this show, Andrea Michelle joins me to discuss her fascinating work with fusing the Goddess Asteroids with the Venus synodic cycle. It's a novel approach, and one that I learned a lot from in talking with her.

Mark Jones returns to the show to exploring the state of the Outer Planets with me.

1:16:50

In this podcast, Joe Landwehr joins me to talk about this Age of Uncertainty—which is also part of the title of his latest book. He has over 50 years of experience with Astrology and takes a similar mythopoetic approach as I do. I'm glad he found me and reached out. It was a real treat to speak with him. Enjoy...and check out his book as well. his …

Adam Gainsburg returns! It's been years since he was last on the show, but after quite the journey, he and I pick up right where we left off: talking about planetary cycles. I'm not sure how many times Adam has been on the show, but what I can say is that all his appearances have taught me something new about these synodic cycles. I hope you enjoy …

Deep Astrological Questions with Ray Grasse 1:39:26

1:39:26

Ray Grasse returns to the pod to discuss his new book of essays So, What Am I Doing Here, Anyway? Ranging beyond the astrological into the philosophical, it's a thought provoking collection of the questions we've all asked before, like: How does synchronicity relate to astrology? How in the world do charts still work once a person has already died?…

Constellating Cosmos: an introduction 53:09

1+ y ago53:09

53:09

In this pod, I give some time to explain the latest changes to the show. For many of you, nothing may seem to change; for others, it may be confusing or abrupt. Inspired by the Jungian concept of constellating psyche, this new title borrows some of its spirit around fully engaging with "archetypes" and leans more into the planetary side of the equa…

This is the first show under the new banner/name Constellating Cosmos. It's the third name and hopefully the last. To set off on this new journey, I've decided to share this conversation I recently had with Jonathan Fredette.

Stoicism & Astrology 36:24

1+ y ago36:24

36:24

In this show, I try to reconcile the differences between Stoicism and Astrology. There was a time when they existed side-by-side, and it seems they are doing so again today. Both have seen a generous climb in popularity in recent years and I feel they need eachother—well, one needs the other more than the other. I make a case for this in the pod. I…

The Trans-Neptunian Planets with Jenn Zahrt 1:17:31

2y ago1:17:31

1:17:31

In this episode, Jenn returns to share with us some intel from the outer edges of our solar system. You see, in the early 20th century, there was a school of German astrologers who became fascinated in these "hypothetical" planets beyond Neptune. This was before Pluto's discovery and gained much momentum in certain circles. If you have ever seen th…

1:22:41

This is the final podcast of 2023. Instead of doing a recap of the year, I've decided to choose the top 3 themes of 24' I've been thinking about, and share what I think about them. It's also a solo show. I know, I attempted to do all of them as solo shows at the start of the year, but had to squeeze a few conversations in there. I felt lonely. Anyw…

Being Dreamt: An Astrological Observation 42:33

42:33

In this show, I share one of my favorite theories of how astrology works and how such a simple technique can change your life forever. It relates to dreaming. The overlap between dreams and transits has intrigued me from the beginning; I have learned so much from the interplay between the two that I feel it's now time to share a few of my findings.…

In this show, Tansy returns to talk about the Soul. We speak about what it is, why it's important to tend to it, and what must be done to retrieve parts of it if it goes wandering. It's not the most astrological of my pods, yet it's still a valuable conversation. I hope you find some meaning in it and get inspired to work with Tansy as well. Enjoy.…

We could consider this one to be the 10th anniversary for us; it was back in 2013 when we first met via the pod, having finally met in person in 2019 to deepen our rapport. Now, officially an IRL ally, I try to make it up to Wales as often as possible to hang and record if it's in the air. This visit it was definit…

In this show, we revisit the Leo star point of the Venus cycle. The last one on the subject was 8 years ago—in the Summer of 15'. They could be listened back to back, or stand alone. It's my hope that this exploration helps build some wyrd context for when Venus gets close. Eudaimonia, Adam to work with me: https://www.adam-sommer.com/ ...to advent…

Jules Cashford joins me for this conversation. It's a welcome interruption to the solo shows I've been doing this year. We had planned to talk back in 22', so I was pleased to have that plan come full circle, and manifest. We talk mainly about Eleusis.

Every year, at least 4 times it occurs, and this year is going to be another exciting one in regards to eclipses.

Soon, Saturn will sail into Pisces, leaving his home turf behind. For the past 5 years, it's been Saturn-ruled signs and now we return to what it was like in the early 90's.

This show is all about Pluto's transition into Aquarius. With all the hype around this "non-planets" ingress in March I thought it a good idea to take some time and spend it in the 18th and 16th centuries to see if I could find anything new. It was an educational thought experiment and I hope it's educational for you as well. Let's take a look a th…

In this show, Olga joins us to share her W. D. Gann obsession with us. I've been studying Gann for six months, and I can confirm, that her 'obsession' is warranted. The legendary Wall st. trader used astrology, numerology, geometry, and many other esoteric methods to beat the market. We recorded this just as Mars was sitting on his Gemini Sun. Perf…

This show came together in a wyrd way. I was planning on inviting each of them on for separate podcasts, yet before I could, on Twitter we were all tagged in a post asking when I was going to have them on.
