This potent episode, recorded on a New Moon, shines a light on your natal Moon phase's importance and how it acts as a continual tonal interplay throughout one's life. Rose discusses the beauty of each moon phase as it pertains to the process of illumination and growth.
The astrological Elements of Fire, Earth, Air, and Water are fundamental to the human experience. Somehow we've become disillusioned with perfection or wholeness, forever seeing the negative aspects of loss, fear, and lack–allowing them to dominate our lives rather than remedying our perception. Rose, in this episode, gives several examples of how to work with alchemy–to apply the lacking elements of a relationship, security, clarity, emotions, and or prosperity–through an understanding of our relationship to the astrological elements as states of consciousness.
The revolution. An inevitable presidential election perfectly aligns with a climatic astrological landscape, Mercury Retrograde, Mars Retrograde, Mercury Square Saturn, and a blue Moon. Rose reminds the listener that amongst political change, a tense social and economic climate, there is always a comforting narrative of truth and liberation found in the arts.
The art of Libra is to create harmony out of duality. The misconception of what comprise means–to sacrifice one's self in favor of keeping the peace–that we realize true compromise is to remedy our internal disharmony, to sacrifice our attachment to our stories and instead, to commune with the perfect balance eternally demonstrated in nature. This episode explores the symbolism and function of Libra as the halfway point in the zodiac, initiated by Autumn Equinox.
Virgo, the Vestal Virgin, the purifier of the body and mind to objectively intake only that which is a necessity for the soul. In this episode, Rose unconventionally unpacks the sign Virgo, how it applies to each of us, and why the precise, detailed nature of Virgo is healing and Negentropic.
A comparative narrative of how astrology came to be and was an integral part of ancient civilizations, and used to stabilize society during the Roman and Greek empires. Rose touches on ethics and opens a discussion for how astrology should and should not be used. This episode probes the purpose of astrology for everyday life and makes the listener curious about their very own relationship to it.
The planet Mars relates to the expression of our will, libido, and how we take action and assert ourselves. In this episode, Rose unpacks the meaning of your natal Mars and how the upcoming Mars Retrograde is climatic given the pandemic, U.S. presidential election, and social unrest. This episode is loaded with important dates, a short commentary on Donald Trump and Joe Bidens's natal Mars placements, and what that could mean for the election–tips on how to tap into your Martian nature healthfully, and to harness and heal aspects of the warrior planet.
The First Episode of Season II explores the sign Leo, and what it means to have a deep reverence for life. Leo is one of the most misunderstood signs in the zodiacal wheel of life. Rose beautifully unpacks the rarely talked about qualities of Leo and reminds us that everyone has the sign, Leo, somewhere in their natal make-up. Understanding Leo is fundamental to our creative self-expression and helps us to find confidence in what it means to be human.
A digestible synthesis of the past twelve episodes. This season finale is intended as a way to time travel through the last five months–of what we've experienced collectively–COVID, BLM, a tense political global climate, uncertainty, and personal transformation through Eclipse Season, Retrograde season, and planetary returns. A poetic astrological coalescence of the material and spiritual.
Alchemy has been linked to astrology since the early Hellenistic era and physicians such as Hippocrates. This episode is focused on the practical aspects of alchemizing planetary transits through the human faculties of imagination, intuition, perception, memory, will, and reason. Rose touches on the importance of integrating what's happening in the world through the process of alchemy as a healing modality and tool for empowerment.
Your Solar Return chart is cast for the year ahead on your birthday. In this Episode, Rose details what your birth-day truly means, how you should spend it based on your natal Sun and house placement, and where tapping into your innate Solar Power is inevitable. This Episode is unique, in that, it can also be used as an audio workbook to better understand your natal Sun placement, and transiting Sun phases.
The Planet Venus as an indicator of prosperity consciousness–where Venus is placed natally, denotes your money-making abilities, love and relationship style, your natural ability to create harmony and flow and to attract abundance. This episode is Part II of the Prosperity Episodes (Part one is Episode 7). Rose details what each Venus placement means as a love and money signature, and goes into detail about how to utilize Venus to experience more love and financial flow.
An exploration of the zodiac sign Cancer, its meaning and significance in the astrological wheel of life. Each of us has Cancer somewhere in our natal chart. Collectively we are all experiencing an annual Cancer season this year, on June 20, Summer Solstice, A Solar Eclipse, and Mercury Retrograde–all in Cancer, making the sign a focal point in our spiritual development. Themes of emotional intelligence, nourishment, maternalism, and the creative process of life.
The current circumstances demand our attention; a pandemic, protests, riots, our fight for justice, and the dismantling of systemic racism. We are awakening as a human race. Our ability to ascertain the truth despite mass confusion may be our greatest ally. This Cosmic weather report so relevantly outlines the astrological aspects that are at the forefront of change. Rose unpacks the United States' Pluto and Chiron return, while also making it personal to the listener.
Thriving during this transitional time will require that you employ your innate gifts by being of service to your soul. Aligning to prosperity consciousness now means doing what you love, being innovative, and creating a service or product that will support others. In this episode, Part I of a two-part discussion–Rose discusses practical examples of how you can work with the astrological alignments as we transition from a Capricorn to an Aquarian era.
Rose discusses the meaning of Eclipse season and how adaptability and a willingness to relinquish control, to assess goals, and to realign to the natural rhythm of Earth is essential for success.
