We've been talking about the rare Saturn-Neptune conjunction for months—and in this episode, I explore it from a fresh angle: how this transit is showing up in your mental space, your relationship with your inner critic, and the path toward deeper spiritual clarity.You'll also hear: What the Saturn-Neptune dynamic can teach us about mental health, shame, and compassion Why Thunderbolts, the new Marvel film, gives us a surprisingly powerful metaphor for this conjunction How Jupiter's move into Cancer shifts the tone from analysis to empathy What Mercury out of bounds in Cancer means for communication, intuition, and emotional logic And key dates to work with the energy of June's major transits Whether you're navigating emotional overwhelm, craving spiritual structure, or just trying to make sense of it all, this month's astrology offers a mix of grounding insight and soulful perspective.

In this illuminating conversation, astrologer Mark Jones joins host Tony Howard to explore the profound philosophical contributions of Dane Rudhyar to modern astrology. They discuss how Rudhyar's humanistic approach transformed predictive astrology into a tool for self-actualization and spiritual growth.Mark explains how Rudhyar, influenced by 20th century psychology and his background as a classical composer, developed key concepts including the "seed principle" and cyclical time. They explore how Rudhyar viewed birth charts not as static deterministic blueprints but as symbolic representations of potential that unfolds through time—comparing it to an acorn containing the pattern for the oak tree it might become.This episode offers valuable insights into how Rudhyar's vision of astrology as "a yoga with one's destiny" continues to influence contemporary astrological practice, providing a framework that balances cosmic patterns with human agency. Perfect for both astrology enthusiasts and those interested in the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and cosmic symbolism.

Astrologer Demetra George describes how the planets were named while taking us back into ancient Babylonia and then Greece. She describes the historical context in which the visible planets were named and how well they matched the ancient mythology. Next we discuss the naming of the modern planets and the very different circumstances in which astronomers, now practicing their work mainly separately from astrologers, found themselves in the position of naming the newly discovered planetary bodies, including the asteroids. We end with reflections on the potentially mystical implications as planetary bodies seem to be named appropriately for the dynamics astrologers observe here on Earth.
