Venus in Capricorn will be retrograde from December 19 2021 to January 29 2022 in a strong connection to Pluto and will in fact, swing back and forth over Pluto a total of 3 times during this transit.  This can feel like a confrontational transit as Pluto exposes your perceived flaws and shows you where you're in a prison of your own making when it comes to money and love. Look to that structured Capricorn energy for help in getting yourself out of that prison.

The Sun, Moon and Venus are some of our most personal planets, and they really influence and impact us. In this episode, Natha shares some personal stories of how exploring these planets in her own chart led to so much more self-awareness, and how learning about your own can help you too!

Whether your Sun is in Scorpio or not, this fixed water sign plays an important role in your life. Our Scorpio placements push us to be curious about our inner workings, and ultimately, to seek more self- awareness. Of course, our Scorpio placements can also make us resist self-analysis and emotionally repress instead.

Whether your Sun is in Libra or not, this cardinal air sign plays an important role in your life. Our Libra placements help us to seek and enjoy the beauty in life, not to mention keep things easy and smooth with the people we’re in relationship with. Of course, our Libra placements can make it hard to have good boundaries with people, so we must work to balance “being nice” with “being real”.

Whether your Sun is in Virgo or not, this mutable earth sign plays an important role in your life. Our Virgo placements help us to be discerning and hard working but can also make us feel irritated and agitated when things don't go as planned.  The Virgo archetype helps us understand all of the above. 

What are retrogrades and why do people make such a big deal every time one happens?  Join fellow astrologer Julia Mihas as we talk about what a planet in retrograde actually means to us here on earth, and how to make the most of the lessons it avails to us.  Seriously- we can use a retrograde planet to really shift the way we do things for the better!  work with Natha work with Julia 

Whether your Sun is in Leo or not, this fixed fire sign plays an important role in your life.  Do you know what pleases you creatively? Do you feel seen, acknowledged and recognized? Do you feel safe to express the real you? The Leo  archetype helps us deepen our alignment with all of the above. 

Whether your Sun is in Cancer or not, this cardinal water sign plays an important role in your life.  Do you show yourself the same love you show others? Is it safe to feel and acknowledge your emotions? Are you impacted by the experiences of your ancestors? The Cancer archetype helps us deepen our alignment with all of the above.

“Listening in and responding in the most loving way possible" is one of Taylor Elyse Morrison’s mottos, and one she often uses with clients and in her work as a wellness facilitator. In a culture that tries to convince us that wine, face masks and making ourselves as pretty as possible is “self-care”, Taylor empowers people to build real skills that cultivate a self-care support system. Join us as we talk about her strong Capricorn and Sagittarius placements, and how they support her in her leadership of a powerful movement that begins at the intersection of self-care and self-awareness.

Whether your Sun is in the sign of Gemini or not, it still plays a big part in your life. Gemini has the gift of curiosity and can relate to just about anyone for the sake of good conversation.  Gemini can be described as intelligent or inconsistent but it's a sign that always keeps things interesting.  www.nathacampanella.com

Do you feel like it’s selfish to put yourself first? It may be time to challenge that belief. My guest Alyssa Neill RDN, is an advocate of personal wellness, and believes that in order to cultivate an environment of health, vitality and self- love, we must each begin by putting ourselves first. This means that we tend to our diet and movement, yes. But even more important, we must nourish ourselves through improving our emotional wellness, cherishing our boundaries, supporting our sexual desires, and mothering our needs. But how? Listen in and find out as we talk all things nourishment along with Ceres, Taurus and Venus Find Alyssa website instagram 

Whether your Sun is in Taurus or not, this fixed earth sign plays an important role in your life.  Do you take good care of yourself? Are you kind to your body? Attuned to your needs and desires? Prioritizing of your comfort and nervous system? Building the kinds of resources that help you feel safe? The Taurus archetype helps us deepen our alignment with all of the above. 

Venus can describe the things we long for, things we’ve fooled ourselves into thinking we don’t have.  Important things like worth, desire and depth.   We then seek out partners in hopes that they will mirror back to us, filling in our perceived blanks, proving that we do have those qualities we’ve assumed have been missing. Join me and my guest Olivia, as we discuss the ways that we’ve been led astray in our lives because we thought we weren’t enough, and how Venus has led us back into more power than we ever thought possible.  Find Olivia website instagram  Things I mentioned: Venus in Aries episode with Sondra Primeaux

While astrologers have been hypothesizing about the potential complications that the strong astrological transits of 2020 suggested, there was no way to really know what was going to happen, until it happened. So here we are! Join me and my guest, fellow astrologer Julia Mihas as we try to make sense of what we know astrologically, what we’re seeing in our world as a result, and most importantly, how to make our homes and lives as peaceful as possible as we remain under the influence of these transformational times.

Aries is the sign of drive, decision making and anger- and it’s where we either learn to advocate for ourselves, or we learn to balance what we need with what others need. Whether you love or dislike Aries, it’s definitely a polarizing sign.   Find Natha  

Are you connected to your heart? What does your spirit want? Can you hear the messages from your guides? These are largely Pisces things.  My guest Michelle Sinnette is a spiritual guide, teaching people how to listen, how to open their hearts and intuition (and she has a lot of Pisces in her chart!). How did she go from being an incredibly psychically sensitive child, into Type-A achiever as a young adult, into working right in “the sweet spot between soul and science”, as she does now?  Listen and find out.

Whether your Sun is in Pisces or not, this mutable water sign plays an important role in your life. If you're feeling sensitive and overwhelmed, this is Pisces. If you're feeling intuitive and mystical, this is Pisces.

What do breathwork, yoga and Ayurveda have in common? They’re all practices that can help us feel happier and healthier in our bodies. While modalities like these are gaining traction and becoming more mainstream, they don’t necessarily fit the traditional western medical model of “ways to get healthy”. My guest Regina, of Wolf Medicine Magic, is a practitioner of all three. She doesn’t think being happy and healthy in our bodies is all that revolutionary but she see's that we're more liberated than ever before in how we relate to our health. The freedom to experiment with, and utilize innovative modalities in our quest for wellness is associated with the planet Uranus, and so of course, Aquarius and Uranus make an appearance in our conversation Find Regina: Wolf Medicine Magic   

Whether your Sun is in Aquarius or not, this fixed air sign plays an important role in your life. If you're feeling stagnant or bored, you need Aquarius. If you're feeling different and rejected, you need Aquarius. If you're tired of conforming and want to dissent, you need Aquarius.   Listen in and learn some important things about yourself through the lens of this archetype.  nathacampanella.com

High standards are a mixed bag. On one hand, they help us keep our eyes on the prize; they drive us toward success and push us to skill-build. On the other hand, they limit us, making us feel fearful and never good enough. My guest Caitlin knows all about both sides. She opens up about what it’s like to experience this Capricorn archetype in a very personal way because her Moon is in the sign of Capricorn! Join us as we discuss “approval withdrawals”, anxiety and control. You might find yourself making important connection to your own experience with this responsible and apprehensive archetype.

Whether your Sun is in Capricorn or not, this cardinal earth sign plays an important role in your life.

Lisa Betts-LaCroix took up ballroom dancing at 49, fairly convinced that there was no way someone her age could do something like that. It was during this time period that she began to remember herself. This began a journey of exploration, regarding the concept of aging. Why do we believe that aging diminishes our capabilities and our value? Over the last several years, Lisa has stepped into a role of teacher, advocate and guide for women over 50 who are fully embracing their power and stepping into this time of life artfully, with wisdom and understanding of what it feels like to hold it all. This is what Sagittarius is all about- the drive to understand, and using what we learn, to help others understand too. Find Lisa: website SuperPower U Podcast facebook

Welcome to the final episode of Season 1. It’s just me, Natha on this one, sharing a little bit about my insights and my experience of starting a podcast and taking it through an entire year.  It’s been a good year, I’ve learned a lot about podcasting (and also about myself). Thank god I had my natal chart on hand to consult with through the process. Join me as I discuss my astrological strengths and weaknesses (this is fun!)  Also, what’s on the agenda for Season 2?

Astrologically, the time around our 50th year is particularly potent, and this is because of an asteroid called Chiron. Chiron is the “wounded healer” and describes the quality of our childhood traumas, and also shows us the unique medicine we need to heal them. In our 50th year, we have an opportunity to create a bridge between our past and our future, by healing our Chiron wounds.  As we do this, we unlock essential things within ourselves, and ultimately, we use what we learn to teach others how to heal themselves. This is called the Chiron Return. My guest Lori Massicot, a Sober Lifestyle Coach pulled off some miracles during her Chiron Return, things that paved the way for what she does now. Listen in as we talk about it, you may get some great Chiron insights of your own!

How do you jump into the perspective of someone and make it believable? According to author Claire Rudy Foster, the key lies in an ability to listen. There are subtle and unrefined truths of experience that drip into our conversations with others but a keen ear is needed to pick up on the what those truths really are. Foster can hear them. In his new book Shine of the Ever, Foster melds his own experiences with gender fluidity with the stories and deep truths of other queer folx, infuses them with magic, and alchemizes them into a rich mélange of human experience. As Foster says, “We all have such nuanced perspectives, and I wanted to show that”.

With a background in accounting and finance, Bill Gee knew all about expectations. Money and numbers are pretty straightforward after all. As he developed more self-awareness and began to appreciate his psychic sensitivities, he realized that calculating money made sense- but basing his actions on the projected reactions of his family and loved ones didn’t. And so, he embarked on a journey of learning how to live outside of the expectations of others so that he could experience a more satisfying life.  As a certified SRT consultant, speaker and author, Bill uses helps others identify their own limiting beliefs, and move past them. It wouldn’t be a conversation about expectations and sensitivity without a little Libra and Pisces thrown in. Find Bill LOAToday Website Facebook Instagram   Find Natha website instagram facebook

Is it possible to totally heal ourselves of our trauma? There isn’t’ really an answer to that. What we do know (whether we’ve learned it from an expert or whether we’ve experienced it ourselves) is that our bodies house and hold the impact of our trauma, long after the actual incident has passed. So how do we heal that? Can we?   My guest Asher Pandjiris is a NYC based psychotherapist, doesn’t presume to have the answer to that question, but certainly has a wealth of wisdom and insight to share on the topic. Listen is as we discuss the messy offerings that our bodies bring us, most especially as it relates to trauma, illness, presence, and embodiment.  Pluto shows up in the conversation along with a handful of astrological teachings to lend knowledge on the subject.

How much influence does a planet really have in our chart? Well, a lot. Each planet represents a complex human archetype. We’re all unique, but it can’t be denied that we all desire and struggle, rejoice and love. This is human nature, and astrology gives language and context to all of it. Neptune shows up strongly in my personal natal chart and for my first solo-cast since episode 1, I thought I’d talk about it because I'm now offering private mentorship where we delve into each planet in your chart and explore the potential pitfalls and the gifts of each, as they apply to you. Neptune is a planet of spiritual connection and imagination, but also describes where we lose our agency, where we get depleted, confused, and ultimately how we come back into connection with all of the magical, mystical things that are greater than ourselves.

Teachers don’t know everything. Not the good ones anyway. My guest Kat Fowler is a teacher of many things including yoga and meditation, but is beginning to see that the very things that once excited her enough to dedicate her life to teaching, are shifting and changing.  She’s becoming aware of a very strong calling to expand her teachings. She explains in our interview what that means. Like any teacher worth their salt, Kat has had to step right out of her comfort zone. She has been once again called to become the student in order to pursue the next incantation of what she feels she’s meant to teach.  It wouldn’t be a conversation about teaching and learning if Sagittarius didn’t come into the picture. We also talk about Libra. To Find Kat: Website Soul Awakening Podcast Instagram To Find Natha: website instagram facebook  

What does physical health mean to you?  My guest Zach Moyer is a health coach, but he sees physical health as so much more just physical. He describes our bodies as highly individualized systems that require not just healthy food and exercise, but an intimate attention to our thoughts and emotions.  It wouldn’t be a conversation about the body without a little bit of Taurus and Ceres thrown in, and we talk about how bringing mindfulness into what’s happening in our actual physical bodies, helps cultivate consciousness around what we think about our bodies, our health, and our self-value.

Raven Rose acts as a guide between the body and the soul. She teaches women how to heal the womb from the wounding and heavy energies we’ve taken on in this lifetime. We're talking about the traumas that have actually been passed down through our DNA through the female line. So much of our personal health is connected to the experiences of our mothers, their mothers, and all of the grandmothers that came before us. It takes sensitivity, spiritual connection, community and ritual to unravel what is ours, and what is theirs, but we can enlist their help. In fact, doing so can be a necessary and empowering step toward awakening to who we are. This episode is not just for people that have a uterus by the way, understanding our ancestral trauma and remedying ourselves of the pain passed down through our family line is relevant to every human, regardless of how we identify.  Find Raven: MoonMedicine.com Instagram   Find Natha: website instagram facebook  

Sometimes seeking a deeper understanding of ourselves leads to more struggle or strife. In fact, it usually does.  But questioning, doubting, wondering and judging, (while not super satisfying), are really the very touchstones we must work with in order to self explore.  My guest Andrea Catherine is hooked on personal growth. She loves to navigate the murkiness of her emotional and physical experience, and help her clients do the same.  Of course, this is a conversation that has to involve Pluto right? And Pluto indeed shows up in this conversation all about anchoring, centering and balancing... in the midst of being totally uncomfortable with uncertainty.  Find Andrea + things we talked about: Grounded here.com  Fearless Self Love Podcast  The Body Awake Podcast  Sarah Hughes Zabawa Fearless Self Love Retreat  Instagram Pema Chodron   Find Natha: website instagram facebook

Are you happy? Do you know what makes you happy? My guest Ellen Atkins was busy living her life (and it was a good life), when she began to question it. She came to understand that while she had achieved success, she didn't know what actually made her come alive, or what truly brought her happiness.  Fast forward, and she's made it her mission to discover the very things that light up her heart. This is no small order of course, but in seeking out that which makes her love and laugh, she's cultivated incredible wisdom about it all, and is helping others find the same for themselves.

Is it possible to be "assertive in a likeable way"? In a culture where tone policing is normal and we’re relentlessly taught as children to “be nice” but not taught how to hold our boundaries, any inclinations to be assertive often dissolve into being pleasant instead, and we end up doing things we would rather not do. Lea Morgan is a psychic medium who finds that her clients tend to struggle with boundaries in the same ways she did (and still does). We bring Aries and Pisces into the conversation as we discuss an imbalance that many of work with: being nice vs being clear.    Find Lea Instagram Facebook website Find Natha Instagram Facebook Website

What’s this “restoring ourselves to wholeness” thing everyone’s always talking about? Is it possible to truly become whole or will we always feel emptiness where the little pieces of our souls have splintered off along the way?  Raven Mardirosian has some wisdom to share about the pieces we've lost. She’s been on a lifelong mission to recover the parts of herself that were left behind and discover the pieces she never even knew were there in the first place. Home and belonging, secrets and betrayals, and the fear of truly seeing ourselves… Raven shares a little bit about all of that.

What happens when we have a natural drive to rebel, but the freedom that we seek doesn't come easily? Will we find ourselves in a constant state of working for our liberation, or will we allow ourselves to bury our restlessness and douse our need to innovate? My guest Africa Brooke has chosen the former. She's a true powerhouse, tackling subjects like sexual pleasure, self-development and sobriety.
