Cosmic Cousins: Soul-Centered Astrology

As a portmanteau of both of their offerings, Taylor Ursula of 'That's So Pisces' is joining forces with Jeff Hinshaw of 'Cosmic Cousins' to bring to you THAT'S SO COSMIC – a new monthly series, dropped at the start of each month, that offers you cosmic insights into the transits of the month ahead through a queer, non-binary, gender-expansive lens.   Each time we gather, we pull a tarot card for the month ahead, look at the sabian symbol of an outer planet, take a question from a curious caller, and listen to a song by a queer artist. On this week's episode, we breakdown the month of June 2025, listen to one's of Taylor's songs titled 'Swingtown Blues' and celebrate the start of this new collaboration.   Join me in New York City! If you are in the New York City area, honor Jupiter entering Cancer with me on Sunday, June 15 at Maha Rose – through celebration + ceremony, we will connect to the element of water, build a collective altar, and connect to Cancerian themes like home, family and belonging. One of the ways I do this is through connection to the plant world. So I will be bringing with me some plant allies from the Mojave desert to aid us in our ritual. Hope to see you soon. In addition, I'm also offering Deep Dive Astrology Readings and Tarot Soul Journeys. These sessions are available online, so you can join from anywhere in the world. I'm also opening up space for a few one-on-one mentorships for those seeking ongoing guidance and support on their personal or spiritual journey. If you're feeling called, I'd be honored to connect.   Welcoming Pride Month As we welcome the start of Pride Season, I'm honored to re-share something close to my heart. Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to publish an article in The Evolving Astrologer Magazine. The piece is titled “Zodiac Queers: Celebrating 12 LGBTQ+ Historical Figures through the Zodiac” — and it remains one of my favorite writings. This article uplifts the stories of 12 LGBTQ+ ancestors — each aligned with a zodiac sign. If you missed it last year, or if you'd like to revisit it with fresh eyes, you can read the full article on my substack or through virtual PDF format for free by clicking this link. My article is on page 92.

In this Gemini New Moon episode of Cosmic Cousins, we explore Gemini's dual nature as both playful messenger and sacred psychopomp, guiding us through themes of contradiction, transformation, and communication. Jeff weaves in mythic stories of Castor and Pollux and the grief of the Seven Sisters. We're invited to embrace inner contradictions through journaling, movement, and curiosity, grounding into uncertainty and reaching toward truth. The episode also reflects on Gemini Ryan Heffington's Self Portrait Photo Exhibition EMOTIONALANDSCAPES, and features a heartfelt conversation with musician Heirloome (Lilith O'Rourke) about their grief album Cycles, sibling loss, and art as a bridge between worlds, alongside tarot reflections on the Lovers, the Devil and High Priestess cards, and invitations for ritual, gathering, and deeper astrological mentorship. On this podcast episode, other queer artists mentioned include: Root Inward Studio  Lovejoy Paradise,  Felix III If you are in the High Dez, this Thursday night at Milk Thistle in Yucca Valley, we are gathering through ritual in honor of Gemini.

Happy Capricorn Solstice to you!  For those on the Northern Hemisphere, this is the shortest day of the year – a sacred invitation within.  For those on the Southern Hemisphere, this is the longest day of the year – a time of great illumination.  Either way, wherever you find yourself in the world, the Sun is conjunct the Galactic Center – the center of our Milky Way galaxy.  This is a potent time of the year to realign with your cosmic self, offering you wisdom for new beginnings. In honor of this special time of the year, Lindsay Mack and I gathered together at their home to record a special Year Ahead podcast episode for 2024.  In this podcast episode we reflect on this past year, 2023, as a 7 year – connected to both the Chariot (7) and the Tower (16 = 1 + 6 = 7); and anticipate the invitation of this new year, 2024, as an 8 year – connected to both Strength (8) and the Star (17 = 1 + 7 = 8).  We then offer intuitive insight for the coming year, pulling 2 cards for the Collective, and 2 cards for each element: Fire signs, Earth signs, Air signs, and Water signs.  The decks we use are: Tarot of the Holy Spectrum and the Cosmic Cousins Astro Oracle. ____________________________________________________________ Learn more about Lindsay and dive into all of their courses (including The Threshold and more)and free resources by going to tarotforthewildsoul.com   Sign up for the newsletter: https://www.tarotforthewildsoul.com/mailing-list   Got Q's for Lindsay to answer on the podcast and beyond?

Sagittarius New Moon blessings. Now is a time to quiet and reflect on life through the lens of this Transpersonal Collective Fire Sign. One way to do this is by connecting to Sagittarius' esoteric ruling planet – the Earth. This is not to be confused with the element of Earth, but rather the Planet as a whole. This encourages us to ask... how might we be of better service to our planet and her inhabitants? On this week's podcast episode, enjoy a new song by my friend Drew Daniels.  Located on the Big Island of Hawai'i, poetic punk folk reggae soul singer Drew Daniels shares his truth in his new single 'United States of Consciousness' exploring many Sagittarius themes: building bridges between religions of the world through fiery activism and the pursuit of a uniting Truth.  I hope it inspires you in that Sagittarius way.   In addition, on this weeks' podcast episode, in honor of the Sagittarius New Moon, we are joined in conversation with brilliant Sagittarius Rising Giulio Pellegrini – a Los Angeles-based astrologer specializing in esoteric, psychological, and evolutionary astrology.  A prominent lecturer, he's presented at major conferences and academic institutions like the Northwest Astrological Conference.  In addition, Giulio is the Publications Director for OPA's Evolving Astrologer Magazine.

Cosmic Cousins, I have returned to the breathtaking Big Island of Hawai'i, the birthplace of the Cosmic Cousins podcast and the starting point of my astrology career to celebrate 6 years!  Just 10 minutes upon my arrival, the powerful and awe-inspiring volcano, Pele, the majestic Kilauea, erupted! This week I was gifted the opportunity to witness the lava bursting from the volcano's Halemaumau crater. Gurgling fountains spewed lava high into air. The raw energy and intensity of the eruption was truly remarkable. The volcano has such immense transformative energy that permeates this sacred land.  As I celebrate 6 years of Cosmic Cousins, I find it deeply meaningful that this eruption coincides with this milestone. It serves as a reminder of the incredible lessons, creations, and experiences that have shaped our journey together. Throughout this time, we have learned the importance of community, the power of connection, and the healing energy of nature.  The Big Island has been a catalyst for my growth and healing, allowing me to tap into the wisdom of the cosmos and share it with you. It has been a place of inspiration, where the volcanic energy mirrors the creation, passion, and devotion within.  I am grateful for the opportunity to be back on this sacred land and reconnecting with both the community and the island that have supported me on this cosmic adventure.  As we move forward, I am excited to continue exploring astrology, deepening our connection with the cosmos, and fostering an even stronger sense of community.  Thank you, Cosmic Cousins, for joining me on this incredible journey. Your support and presence mean the world to me. Here's to many more years of growth, learning, and connection.  ___________________________________ Virgo New Moon I declutter.  I harvest.  I tend.

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?

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.   OTHER LINKS Podcast: iTunes, Spotify, or Podbean About Jeff Hinshaw Patreon for Cosmic Cousins Astrology Mentorship Astrology Reading Tarot Healing Session Sign-up for Mailing List + Newsletter

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 Podcast: iTunes, Spotify, or Podbean About Jeff Hinshaw Patreon for Cosmic Cousins Astrology Mentorship Astrology Reading Tarot Healing Session Sign-up for Mailing List + Newsletter

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.  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. 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.   OTHER LINKS Podcast: iTunes, Spotify, or Podbean About Jeff Hinshaw Patreon for Cosmic Cousins Astrology Mentorship Astrology Reading Tarot Healing Session Sign-up for Mailing List + Newsletter   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.   ♎ Libra Full Moon Wednesday, April 5, 2023 9:43 pm PST 16º Libra Body Parts: Lower-back, Kidneys, Adrenal Glands Libra Esoteric Phrase:  I choose the way that leads between the two great lines of force.

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 To help support my work and the work of those who join us on the podcast, please consider becoming a Patreon Supporter.   OTHER LINKS Sign-up for Mailing List + Newsletter Chariot Year - 2023:  A Return Back Home – Workshop Podcast: iTunes, Spotify, or Podbean About Jeff Hinshaw Patreon for Cosmic Cousins Astrology Mentorship Astrology Reading Tarot Healing Session

Pisces New Moon I 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...   Pisces teaches us to rest, flow, adapt and trust in the process. Our rituals, self-care and reflections are never limited only to the New and Full Moon 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 Moon Sunday, February 19, 2023 11:05 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 One Pisces 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.  :) To help support my work and the work of those who join us on the podcast, please consider becoming a Patreon Supporter.   OTHER LINKS Sign-up for Mailing List + Newsletter Chariot Year - 2023:  A Return Back Home – Workshop Podcast: iTunes, Spotify, or Podbean About Jeff Hinshaw Patreon for Cosmic Cousins Astrology Mentorship Astrology Reading Tarot Healing Session

A bit about Nick:  Nick Kepley is a white, queer, non-binary Tarot anarchist who believes in the power of words and their complete inability to describe reality. Since 2011, Nick has been working as a Tarot facilitator, utilizing the cards as a reflective tool, and witnessing the conversations that take place between clients and their deeper-knowing. In addition to this work, Nick is also the co-creator of the In Search of Tarot guided journal collection, the founder of The Searcher's Symposium for Tarot Education, and the host of the In Search of Tarot podcast. Beginning February 5, Nick will be facilitating a six-week immersive container called [RE]STRUCTURING TAROT, which will help people create and test their own system of interpretation.

Capricorn New Moon I 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! Congratulations to dear our friend Heidi Rose Robbins for creating a new book – Everyday Radiance.  Inspired by Heidi's Moon Notes on Instagram, Everyday Radiance: 365 Zodiac Prompts for Self-Care and Self-Renewal offers a daily dose of astrological encouragement that inspires us all to use the energies available to us in the most conscious, proactive, productive ways we can.

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! ***If you enjoy the Cosmic Cousins Newsletters and podcast, please consider becoming a Patreon Supporter.  This helps me as an independent practitioner support my life and work.  As a bonus, there is a 2-hour lecture on astrology and the body available for free for Patreon Supporters only.  OTHER LINKS Podcast: iTunes, Spotify, or Podbean About Jeff Hinshaw Patreon for Cosmic Cousins Astrology Mentorship Astrology Reading Tarot Healing Session Sign-up for Mailing List + Newsletter

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 LINKS Sign-up for Mailing List + Newsletter About Jeff Hinshaw Astrology Mentorship Astrology Reading Tarot Reading Podcast: iTunes, Spotify, or Podbean Patreon for Cosmic Cousins

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.   LINKS About Jeff Hinshaw Astrology Mentorship Astrology Reading Tarot Reading Podcast: iTunes, Spotify, or Podbean Patreon for Cosmic Cousins Sign-up for Mailing List + Newsletter

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   LINKS Sign-up for Mailing List + Newsletter Patreon for Cosmic Cousins Podcast: iTunes, Spotify, or Podbean.
