A look ahead at the astrological forecast for December 2025, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first hour talking about the astrology behind news stories that happened since our last forecast, such as the major flight delays and internet outages that coincided with the Mercury retrograde conjunct Mars, and then in the second hour we do a deep dive into November's astrology. The astrology of December features a challenging square between Mars-Saturn-Neptune, and much of our discussion focuses on the potential for bubbles popping when that Mars transit pierces the Saturn-Neptune conjunction.

An introduction to an obscure but powerful timing technique called recurrence transits, which occur when specific planetary alignments in the birth chart are repeated by transits in the sky, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best. Unlike standard transits that form aspects to specific points in the natal chart, a recurrence transit occurs when a planetary alignment found in a birth chart repeats in the sky between those same two planets. For example, if a person was born with a Venus-Jupiter conjunction in their birth chart, then an important event will happen in their life in the future when Venus and Jupiter again form a conjunction in the sky. The episode uses the analogy that specific planetary alignments in the birth chart act like a personal theme song; when the planets repeat the same alignment in the sky, it is as if that music starts playing again, signaling a pivotal turning point where the natal potential of the birth signature becomes awakened through a resonance between past and future. The episode opens by exploring the history and transmission of the technique, which is relatively unknown in the English-speaking world at the present time. Nick shares how he learned the method from the late Michael Lutin in the 1990s, while Chris traces potential roots back to early 20th-century German astrology and ancient Hellenistic texts like Vettius Valens. A key point emphasized early on is how these mundane planetary recurrences operate independently of aspects to natal placements, forcing a conceptual expansion of what defines a transit, and demonstrating how planetary cycles can be tied into important turning points in a life narrative even without direct contact with birth chart placements. To demonstrate the technique in practice, most of the episode is spent presenting a wide range of biographical examples as case studies, and focusing primarily on conjunctions in order to keep things simple and compelling. Case studies include the technological breakthroughs of Steve Jobs and Max Planck, the artistic peaks of Vincent van Gogh and Madonna, and the political rises and falls of figures like Richard Nixon and Joe Biden. The workshop also examines how retrogrades can both extend and intensify the importance of certain recurrence transits, as seen in the lives of Edward Snowden and Charles Manson, and we also touch on shared recurrences in relationships, such as Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. The conversation concludes with a broader philosophical discussion on what this technique implies about the nature of astrology, touching on concepts like simulation theory and the definition of astrology as a map of time. This episode serves as a comprehensive foundation for understanding recurrence transits, providing astrologers and students with a powerful, empirically driven tool for predictive work and biographical analysis that complements traditional methods.

In this episode we discuss how in whole sign houses the degree of the IC acts as a sensitive point that floats around the bottom half of the chart, and that it imports 4th house significations and blends them with whatever whole sign house it falls in, with astrologers Pallas K. Augustine and Chris Brennan. While the IC is traditionally associated with the fourth house topics of home, parents, and roots, in the Whole Sign House system the degree of the IC can actually float to different sectors of the chart, most commonly falling in the third or fifth houses. We explore the astronomical distinction between the fourth whole sign house and the degree of the IC, and how the IC acts as an importer of fourth house significations into the house where it is located, creating a blending of themes between the two houses. In order to research this topic we sent out a survey to listeners to ask them how this placement has worked out in their lives when the IC falls in a whole sign house other than the 4th sign, and most of the episode is spent going through examples of the IC in the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th houses. We also discuss the role of the ruler of the IC and how its placement can further modify these significations, as well as how this approach helps to reconcile some of the distinctions between Whole Sign and quadrant house frameworks.

In part 3 of our series on the fifth house in astrology we look at examples of the ruler of the fifth house in each of the twelve houses in a birth chart, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim. As covered in our previous episodes, the fifth house is traditionally associated with topics such as children, creativity, pleasure, romance, sex and sexuality, games, and good fortune. When the ruler of the 5th is in different houses in a birth chart it exports the topics that it rules into the house that it is placed, both creating a link between those two areas of the life and also blending their significations. In this episode we systematically go through all twelve possible combinations of the ruler of the 5th house, with the goal of getting a better understanding of what the fifth house means.

In this conversation with astrologer Kira Rehberg, we explore the magic and precision of electional astrology - the branch that helps you choose the right moment to begin.

A look ahead at the astrological forecast for November 2025, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first hour talking about the astrology behind news stories that happened since our last forecast, such as the Louvre jewelry heist that took place on the Mercury-Mars conjunction in Scorpio, and then in the second hour we do a deep dive into November's astrology. The astrology of November features an explosive Mars-Uranus opposition at the top of the month, followed by Mercury stationing retrograde in Sagittarius conjunction Mars, and then finally late in the month Saturn stations direct for the final time in Pisces. We also discuss Uranus returning back to Taurus for the final time, and Jupiter stationing retrograde in Cancer trine Saturn. This is episode 510 of The Astrology Podcast.

In this episode I debunk the recurring media claim that your zodiac sign has changed by explaining the 2,000-year history of why western astrologers have deliberately used the tropical zodiac. Every few years, headlines circulate claiming that your zodiac sign has changed due to the precession of the equinoxes. Following a recent New York Times article making this claim, I decided to set the record straight. In this episode of The Astrology Podcast, I explain the history behind this recurring narrative and demonstrate why these claims are misleading. We'll explore the difference between the three zodiacs (constellational, sidereal, and tropical) and show how Western astrologers, starting with Claudius Ptolemy nearly 2,000 years ago, made a deliberate and conscious choice to use the tropical zodiac, which is aligned with the seasons, not the constellations. This is not a recent mistake or discovery; it's a foundational principle of the Western astrological tradition that has been understood for centuries by history's most prominent astrologers and astronomers. We will also touch on the issue of the so-called 13th sign, Ophiuchus, and why it doesn't apply to the system most Western astrologers use. My goal is to clarify the history so that you can better understand why your zodiac sign has not changed and feel more equipped to respond to these arguments.

A deep dive into the meaning and significations of the fifth house in astrology, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim, in episode 506 of The Astrology Podcast. This is the fifth installment in our ongoing series on the significations of the 12 houses, where we explore the meanings of each house in detail, going back to the earliest sources and conceptualizations in the astrological tradition. Our discussion on the fifth house will be broken into three parts, and in this initial episode, we focus on providing a comprehensive overview of its core significations and meanings. We begin by establishing the conceptual foundations for the meaning of the fifth house, which was known in ancient astrology as the Place of Good Fortune. Some of the principles we use to derive its meaning are the fact that it is a succedent house that follows the fourth, its positive trine aspect to the Ascendant, and the fact that Venus has her joy there. These concepts establish the fifth house as a place of bodily pleasures, the continuation of the family lineage, and generally positive and fortunate circumstances. The core significations of the fifth house that we explore in detail include: children, good fortune, pleasure and enjoyment, sex and sexuality, and creativity. This episode provides a detailed survey of the topics associated with the fifth house, drawing on both the traditional textual sources as well as our extensive research of hundreds of birth charts. In part two of this series, we will begin looking at some of these example charts in detail, starting with the ruler of the Ascendant in the fifth house. Then in part three, we will look at the ruler of the fifth house in each of the 12 houses.

In part 2 of our series on the 5th house in astrology we look at examples of famous people that have the ruler of the Ascendant in the fifth house in their birth chart, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim of The Astrology Podcast. The fifth house is traditionally associated with a wide range of topics in astrology such as children, creativity, pleasure, romance, sex and sexuality, games, and good fortune. In ancient astrology, the Ascendant was sometimes called the helm of the ship of the native's life, and the ruler of the Ascendant was said to be the captain. The house where the captain of the chart is located can tell you a lot about where the life is being directed, and in this episode we explore what happens when the life is directed towards the topics of the fifth house. Over the course of the episode, we explore more than 50 example charts of famous people who have the ruler of the Ascendant in the fifth house in order to demonstrate how this placement can play out in a number of different ways. Some of the charts we look at include those of actors, directors, musicians, comedians, athletes, writers, artists, and more. Through this survey, we are able to see many different concrete manifestations of the fifth house archetype, and develop a more well-rounded and grounded understanding of its meaning. This is the second of a three-part series on the fifth house, which is itself part of our larger series where I've been doing a deep dive on the twelve houses in astrology. In the next episode in this series we will explore the meaning of the ruler of the fifth house in each of the twelve houses, showing how the topics of the fifth house can be exported into other areas of a person's life.

In this episode, I welcome Teagan West back to Moon to Moon to explore the invitation of "living emergence" and its connection to ancestral traditions. This is an incredibly powerful conversation that felt electric to both of us at the time. We discuss how colonial agendas have disrupted natural lineage connections and the importance of re-establishing these relationships through ritual practices. We examine various aspects of ancestor work, including the creation of ritual altars, the role of offerings and music in guiding ancestors, and the need to address and heal ancestral wounds caused by colonization. We also talk about contemporary approaches to ancestral connection and the value of ancestor circles as a way to learn from each other's experiences and rebuild traditional practices in a modern context. Teagan West (she/they) is a Ritualist, Astrologer, Artist and Ancestral Lineage Healing Practitioner on Haudenosaunee Land, home of the Seneca Nation. Her work exists at the intersection of Ancestral Reconnection, Cultural Repair, Astrological Storytelling, and Community Ritual. Teagan is passionate about recovering Animist ways of relating to Earth + Sky as a vital form of decolonial remembrance, reweaving our collective cosmologies through communal vision. Teagan devotes much of her personal time to land tending, lineage stewardship + animist ceremony, as well as creating ritual tools such as Drums, Rattles, and Ceramic Altar Vessels. She offers Astrological Readings, Mentorship, and guides Ancestral Lineage Healing in both 1:1 and group spaces. Her Substack is home to weekly readings, teachings + storytelling!

This conversation was a pleasant surprise. I reached out to Ray Merriman to return for a yearly conversation about Financial Astrology and the markets, and he pointed me instead to Pouyan. He works with Ray at MMA and was a treat to talk to. He shares his story of how he got involved in Financial Astrology, alongside many helpful anecdotes, and a little assessment of what's to come in Q4 with transits to be aware of. I think you'll enjoy his story.

This is a big one folks. In this episode, I introduce what I've been working on the last many months from vision to design to structure: your home-world Living Emergence. I share how this vision came through, the philosophy that underpins it, and what it will feel like to live inside it.

In this episode, I go deep with the wonderful Mariola Rosario on the topic of Living Emergence. The third episode in this new series, this conversation is rich, vast, and deeply moving. Some of the references from the episode: Film: Fire of Love (2022) Essay: Under the Sign of Saturn by Susan Sontag Book: Underland by Robert Macfarlane Poem: Caminante no hay camino by Antonio Machado Mariola Rosario (she/her) is an artist, astrologer, writer, teacher, and independent researcher from Puerto Rico, currently based in Paris, France. She explores visual and material culture in relation to terrestrial and celestial practices and mythologies, tracing how images, objects, and language shape cultural memory, origins, and political imaginaries. She is committed to co-creating anti-extractive spaces of learning and mutual aid that honor both the magical and the material conditions of our time. Mariola also has a lot of fun writing on Substack, where she shares reflections on myth, art, monstrosity, astrology, politics, and the magic of language. You can subscribe and read her latest here: https://substack.com/@lasfloresdelmal Her books are also open for Astrology consultations online and in person, in Paris. https://mariolarosario.com/ Her upcoming course, Chthonic AF: Unearthing Myths of Power, Sacred Rage, and the Monstrous Feminine, runs through Scorpio season. In this course we turn toward the underlands where gaze and voice cut across fear, desire, and resistance. Guided by Medusa and the Sirens, figures of fear and allure, they surface again and again in feminist, queer, and decolonial retellings. We will explore why they are returned to, reclaimed, and reimagined, and why we cannot seem to let them go. We ask what is it that they may be demanding from us now, here in 2025? We will dive into the chthonic and its relationship to monstrosity, ritual, art, astrology, and collective memory. We begin on October 22nd and spend four weeks in the underworld together, through the heart of Scorpio season. All genders, experiences, and learning styles are welcomed.

In part 2 of our series on the 5th house in astrology we look at examples of famous people that have the ruler of the Ascendant in the fifth house in their birth chart, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim. The fifth house is traditionally associated with a wide range of topics in astrology such as children, creativity, pleasure, romance, sex and sexuality, games, and good fortune. In ancient astrology, the Ascendant was sometimes called the helm of the ship of the native's life, and the ruler of the Ascendant was said to be the captain. The house where the captain of the chart is located can tell you a lot about where the life is being directed, and in this episode we explore what happens when the life is directed towards the topics of the fifth house. Over the course of the episode, we explore more than 50 example charts of famous people who have the ruler of the Ascendant in the fifth house in order to demonstrate how this placement can play out in a number of different ways. Some of the charts we look at include those of actors, directors, musicians, comedians, athletes, writers, artists, and more. Through this survey, we are able to see many different concrete manifestations of the fifth house archetype, and develop a more well-rounded and grounded understanding of its meaning. This is the second of a three-part series on the fifth house, which is itself part of our larger series where I've been doing a deep dive on the twelve houses in astrology. In the next episode in this series we will explore the meaning of the ruler of the fifth house in each of the twelve houses, showing how the topics of the fifth house can be exported into other areas of a person's life.

In episode 506 of The Astrology Podcast astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim do a deep dive into the meaning and significations of the fifth house in astrology. This is the fifth installment in our ongoing series on the significations of the 12 houses, where we explore the meanings of each house in detail, going back to the earliest sources and conceptualizations in the astrological tradition. Our discussion on the fifth house will be broken into three parts, and in this initial episode, we focus on providing a comprehensive overview of its core significations and meanings. We begin by establishing the conceptual foundations for the meaning of the fifth house, which was known in ancient astrology as the Place of Good Fortune. Some of the principles we use to derive its meaning are the fact that it is a succedent house that follows the fourth, its positive trine aspect to the Ascendant, and the fact that Venus has her joy there. These concepts establish the fifth house as a place of bodily pleasures, the continuation of the family lineage, and generally positive and fortunate circumstances. The core significations of the fifth house that we explore in detail include: children, good fortune, pleasure and enjoyment, sex and sexuality, and creativity. This episode provides a detailed survey of the topics associated with the fifth house, drawing on both the traditional textual sources as well as our extensive research of hundreds of birth charts. In part two of this series, we will begin looking at some of these example charts in detail, starting with the ruler of the Ascendant in the fifth house. Then in part three, we will look at the ruler of the fifth house in each of the 12 houses.

Send us a textThis episode dives deep into the Pisces lunar eclipse and how its energy pulls back the curtain on illusions, overindulgence, and the fantasies we've been clinging to. I share a client's story (with her permission) that perfectly captures the moment when the fairy tale fades, and reality shows up with clarity you can't ignore. Pisces is the dreamer of the zodiac—but during an eclipse, the dream collides with truth.We'll explore what this eclipse means for you: where wishful thinking has been clouding your judgment, where hypocrisy may be hiding in plain sight, and how sudden realizations can set you free. If you've ever held onto a story that felt magical but didn't quite match reality, this episode will help you understand why the eclipse is asking you to wake up—and how to move forward with more honesty, alignment, and spiritual clarity.

We talk about what Virgo looks like when they're balanced (service-oriented, wise, health-conscious, grounded AF) and what happens when that energy tips into the unbalanced side (overly critical, stressed, nitpicky, and trying to fix everyone else's life instead of their own). Spoiler alert: Virgo energy can be medicine if we let it.✨ Crystals for Virgo Season We dish on the stones that vibe with Virgo's earthy yet thoughtful energy:Peridot – the green spark of joy and abundance.Lapis Lazuli – truth serum in crystal form.Moss Agate – grounding healer, like walking barefoot through a forest.Amazonite – the “chill pill” stone that helps soften Virgo's inner critic.
In episode 503 of The Astrology Podcast astrologer Rod Chang joins me to discuss the long and fascinating history of comets in astrology, how astrologers viewed them as omens in ancient times, and creating a new foundation for interpreting them today. While comets are a notable astronomical phenomenon and are famous in legends from ancient times as powerful omens, there has been very little discussion about their meaning or use in modern astrology. Part of the reason for this is that they appear so infrequently, are difficult to calculate, and are not included in most astrology software, which has led to them being largely overlooked by contemporary astrologers. We begin the discussion by exploring the long history of comets in astrology, noting the contrast between the Western tradition and the Chinese tradition. In the West, research into comets was set back for centuries by Aristotle's mistaken belief that they were merely atmospheric phenomena. In the Chinese tradition, however, comets were meticulously documented for thousands of years, where they were often referred to as "broom stars" that could sweep away the old government or indicate the need for reform. This eventually led to a rich history of astrological interpretation, which we are only now beginning to recover and understand. During the course of the episode we talk about what comets are from an astronomical perspective, as well as how their erratic and unpredictable nature became a key part of their astrological interpretation. Traditionally comets were interpreted as omens that signified major disruptions, the death of prominent people, and important turning points in history. Their meaning was often derived from their visual appearance, such as their color or the shape of their tail. While often viewed as negative omens that coincided with natural disasters or the death of rulers, there are also instances where they were interpreted positively. Towards the end of the episode we discuss how contemporary astrologers are now in a much better position to study comets, with new tools that allow us to calculate their positions and go back and research what was happening in the world when major comets appeared in the past. This is a large part of the focus of Rod's new book titled Comets in Astrology, where he identifies some of the most important "Great Comets" in history and documents the events that coincided with their appearance. We hope that this discussion provides a good foundation for a subject that will become an exciting new area of research in astrology in the years to come.

Celebrating the 500th episode of The Astrology Podcast, and reflecting on how the podcast got started and what I learned from doing the past 100 episodes! In the first part of this episode I talk a bit about how the podcast got started, I look at the founding charts for the podcast, and discuss the outline of what I said that I wanted to accomplish with the show in the very first episode back in 2012. I reflect on how ambitious my original outline for the podcast was, and that I've actually ended up accomplishing quite a bit of what I originally set out to do at this point. Later in the episode I reflect on some of the things I've learned in the process of doing the past 100 episodes in particular, especially over the past couple of years, mainly from a technical standpoint. Finally I conclude by thanking some people, and talking a bit about the future. Thanks for watching or listening to the podcast for the past 500 episodes!

In episode 497 astrologer Chris Brennan analyzes predictions made about Iran on The Astrology Podcast over the past year, and discusses what we can learn from those predictions in terms of mundane astrology. Starting with the eclipse season that happened last year in April 2024, I began seeing seeing astrological indications that implied a conflict with Iran would escalate over the course of the next year, and we ended up making a number of predictions to that effect in from mid-2024 to early 2025. After those predictions were fulfilled in June of 2025 when Israel and the United States launched a surprise attack on Iran, I went back and looked at the statements we made over the past year in order to see how we did, and ended up making a clip compilation from different episodes. During the course of this episode I present 10 clips from different episodes of The Astrology Podcast over the past year where we talked about Iran and made different predictions based on the astrological alignments we were seeing, and in between each clip I add some commentary in order to contextualize the clip and explain the different stages in our thinking. Putting together all of the clips and statements we made like this is really useful because you can see the evolution of our thinking, as we discovered new things and as new developments took place, and I think there are a number of useful lessons that can be learned from studying the things we got right as well as the areas where we could have done better. My hope is that astrologers can use this as a case study, and apply some of the lessons we learned from this to making other world astrology predictions in the future.

In episode 496 astrologer Chris Brennan talks about the transit of Uranus in Gemini, and how astrologers came to associate it with major wars in United States history. The first part of the episode discusses how the astrologer Luke Broughton (1828-1899) seems to have been the first astrologer to have observed the correlation between Uranus in Gemini and major wars in US history, and he used this in order to make predictions in the early 1860s about the start of the Civil War. Later I discuss the astrologer Evangeline Adams (1868-1932), who used the Uranus in Gemini transit to predict the start of US involvement in World War II, in a book that she published in 1931. Later I reflect on one of the earliest episodes of The Astrology Podcast, episode 11 titled The Astrology of Uranus and the United States, where I discussed this transit with Nick Dagan Best and the implication that it predicted another major war after Uranus enters Gemini again in 2025. This is also a followup to episode 376, titled The Uranus Return of the United States, which delves more into what Uranus in Gemini has coincided with in the past in US history. This episode was recorded late in the night of July 6, 2025, just hours before Uranus went into Gemini on July 7, and then released shortly after the ingress took place, with early Gemini rising. My goal was to reflect on the history of astrologers studying this transit and using it for predictions, and to mark the occasion as we head into what is clearly shaping up to be another very important turning point in US history.
