Retrograde - The Unusual Suspects
The 50/50 Astrologer
Mercury retrograde gets the blame. It always does. Miscommunication, glitches, mixed signals, unexpected messages from the past — Mercury has become the public face of everything that goes wrong. But while everyone is watching Mercury… The rest of the solar system is getting away with far more. In this episode of The 50/50 Astrologer, we step away from the usual focus and look at what’s been happening just outside the spotlight. Venus quietly reshaping how we see people. Mars triggering reactions that feel certain in the moment and questionable the next. Jupiter expanding things beyond...

Death And The Wheel
The 50/50 Astrologer
Can astrology see death in a chart? It's one of those questions that gets asked quietly — in workshops, in readings, in the margins of conversations that started somewhere else entirely. And it deserves a serious answer. This episode begins with a question from community member Melissa, who reached out recently after others had been raising the same thing. Whether physical death can be seen in a chart. Whether the conditions surrounding it can be identified, timed, or predicted. The honest answer is complicated. And following it honestly leads somewhere unexpected. We look at what...

Nobody Taught You This (and nobody truly can...)
The 50/50 Astrologer
There's a stage in learning astrology that nobody warns you about. You've done the work. You know the planets, the signs, the houses. You can sit with a chart and identify what's there. But when it comes time to actually say something meaningful — to bring it all together in real time, with a real person waiting — something stops you. Most people assume the answer is more study. More detail. A better grasp of the symbolism. It isn't. In this episode I explore the moment where knowledge ends and interpretation begins — and why that transition is the most important shift an astrology...

Neptune - Dead Rats And Dreamers
The 50/50 Astrologer
In 2026, Neptune moves into Aries for the first time in over a century. It may prove to be the most psychologically potent ingress of the year — not because of dramatic external events, but because of what it represents in the inner life of the collective. Neptune is notoriously difficult to define. It governs belief, faith, illusion, projection, and collective consciousness. It operates diffusely, often invisibly. We don’t see Neptune directly — we see its effects when something dissolves, when certainty fades, or when life interrupts the narrative we thought we were living. Aries, by...

The 50/50 Astrologer
Many astrologers delay working professionally because they believe they don’t know enough yet. In this episode of The 50/50 Astrologer, we unpack where that fear actually comes from — and why it’s often misplaced. Professional astrology isn’t just about technique, symbolism, or knowing more chart mechanics. It’s equally about who you are in the room with another person. This episode explores the idea that astrology is a 50–50 process: half structure, language, and skill — and half listening, communication, boundaries, and lived experience. We talk about: Why new astrologers...

In this episode of The 50/50 Astrologer, we unpack where that fear actually comes from — and why it’s often misplaced. Professional astrology isn’t just about technique, symbolism, or knowing more chart mechanics. It’s equally about who you are in the room with another person.
This episode explores the idea that astrology is a 50–50 process:
half structure, language, and skill — and half listening, communication, boundaries, and lived experience.
We talk about:
-
Why new astrologers feel pressure to perform
-
The myth that you should be able to “tell everything” from a chart
-
The role of listening and asking better questions
-
Why clients don’t come for astrology — they come to talk about themselves
-
How trust is built through dialogue, not information
-
What professionalism really looks like in practice
This is an episode for astrologers, students, and anyone thinking about working with people — not from a place of mastery, but from presence, honesty, and relationship.
