The Stellium Astrology Podcast

Imagine having a deep and difficult conversation with your loved ones which enables acceptance and forgiveness while freeing you all from shame, sadness, and dysfunction. Imagine what it would feel like to be the chain-breaker in your family. But what if you don’t want to have that conversation? Or it isn’t possible due to bereavement, estrangement, or adoption (or any other reason for that matter)? Family Constellation Therapy makes it possible to do the work regardless of the many reasons you might not want, or be able to broach difficult issues with your family. You don’t even have to...

The Stellium Astrology Podcast

“Symbols move in and out of people’s lives as realities. To skirt through symbolism into real life and then back and forth, is the art of the symbol. Moving in and out, making sense of it, weaving tales around the astrological placement, that’s what we do with dreams, as well. And the underlying element is that this stuff is real. Real information, real guidance, whether it’s your dreams, whether it’s astrology” Mesmerising words from Richard Swatton, who was kind enough to give up his time to record with us during Pisces season.  This was a special episode featuring my lovely...

TRIGGER WARNING: Stalking & R*pe   PLUS CONTAINS SPOILERS! Please don't continue reading/listening if you are yet to watch the show.   Everyone's talking about Baby Reindeer, so I thought it was time to join the conversation.   Of course, I am looking at things from an astrological edge, and when they gave specific dates in the show, I just had to note them down to take a look.   The show was launched on 11 April 2024, during a highly volatile and compelling period of planetary transits (eclipse season, Mercury retrograde, and the Jupiter–Uranus...

OK, so I'm a bit late publishing this one, but Cara, my patron, asked me an interesting question: What does the Jupiter–Uranus conjunction in Taurus mean for those of us born with Chiron in Taurus? Here are my thoughts – I hope you find the episode useful. Please let me know what you think, and whether I missed anything! MENTIONED   📍Everything you need to know is here:

EP147 Mercury as the voice of the Ego show art EP147 Mercury as the voice of the Ego

The Stellium Astrology Podcast

Following on from last week's episode, inspired by Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, I recorded some thoughts I had about the method in which the Ego makes itself known and communicates with us. Of course, the Ego in our horoscope is the Sun, but where would he be on his journey of becoming, without his diligent but oh-so-biased PA: Mercury, colouring every ounce of info he receives with his perspective?

EP146 Pluto and the Gods of Change show art EP146 Pluto and the Gods of Change

The Stellium Astrology Podcast

A few weeks back I was reading a book called A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and found myself relating the content to planetary transits and astrological placements. I talked about the transpersonal planets, or as they're commonly known: the Gods of change. This is all coinciding with a Pluto transit that I am currently having to my natal Mercury placement, so I wanted to share the insights I am having. Are you, or is anyone you know, having a transpersonal planetary transit?   📍Everything you need to know is here:

The Stellium Astrology Podcast

Something I’ve wanted to explore on this show for a very long time is a popular predictive technique called Secondary Progressions. I’ve always been intrigued but have spent most of my time focussing on other techniques because they came more naturally to me. So I decided to get my friend and astrological colleague, Fernanda Paiva, on the show to talk about this incredible predictive technique, while sharing the knowledge with you, too! Two phrases Fernanda used which were particularly evocative were “mining for meaning” and “the inward-facing eye” to describe the function and...

The Stellium Astrology Podcast

Help us with our Juno research: I remember some time back in 2015, clicking around the additional objects on astro.com and discovering asteroid Juno who happened to be sandwiched right between my tight Mercury–Venus conjunction. Of course I was intrigued, but I was deep in the throes of a Pluto transit, so I had limited focus for distractions at that time. Recently by chance, I got talking to today’s guest: Lianne McCafferty, about her peacock-inspired workspace – relevant for me over recent months as my little boy and I have been obsessed with them! We regularly have to visit the local...

When in the mindset of reading the horoscope, we access in a different state of mind. This state allows us to be in touch with a peripheral field of information. 

So what exactly is it we're doing when working with astrology and how does it produce such accurate results? 

To quote today’s guest, Richard Swatton: “you can’t predict technique – you can have techniques of prediction but the prediction arrives in the moment”

During this episode Richard and I discuss the other-worldly aspects of astrology, delving into the eighth house depths of a subject already coaxing us deeper into the realms of the subconscious.

Richard has lead many different paths in this lifetime: Musician, Occultist, Psychotherapist, Astrologer and Tutor at the London School of Astrology.

He is also the Author of Symbol to Substance and his new book The Horary Process: A Magical Approach to an Ancient Art, is due to be published at the end of 2023. 

You'll understand why I feel so blessed to have learned at the LSA when you hear how fascinating, intelligent and inspiring Richard is.

Without wanting to sound like Hannibal Lecter, what I wouldn’t give for a slice of that brain... LOL.

 

How do you feel viewing astrology as a divinatory art?
