The Old Orchard Fall Festival is back—and bigger. This week on The STL Bucket List Show, host Luke Farrell sits down with Madeleine Wiering, of Papillon Press, and Lexie Toomey, of First House, to share how Webster Groves' Old Orchard District is turning Big Bend into a two-day neighborhood celebration.Festival at a glance:
A winter window, three drops of blood on snow, and a mirror that refuses to flatter—this is where our journey into the Seventh House begins. We take Snow White out of the nursery and into the soul, reading the fairy tale as a precise map of relationship, projection, and the parts of ourselves we meet in the other. If the First House says I am, the Seventh answers you are, and the tension between them powers the entire story.We follow the thread of red, white, and black through alchemy's negredo, albedo, and rubedo, then trace how a single name—“Snow White”—exiles desire and descent to the edges of the chart. The queen's mirror speaks truth and sparks envy; the huntsman escorts us to the threshold; Artemis steadies our instincts as we run into the wild. In a spotless cottage, seven miners—echoes of the seven traditional planets and Saturn's seven-year cycle—teach the slow craft of integration: daily work, small rooms, and long nights that turn darkness into gold.Temptations arrive as teachings. Laces steal breath when beauty constricts. A comb slips poison through tangled thoughts. And the apple—half white, half red—reveals the cost of splitting innocence from eros. The glass coffin becomes an alchemical vessel where owl, raven, and dove keep vigil, holding intellect, underworld wisdom, and rebirth in balance. Awakening doesn't come with a kiss but with a stumble that dislodges what choked the voice—proof that real change often arrives through life's imperfect bumps rather than perfect moments.We close with the coniunctio, the inner marriage that makes love generative again, and the queen's fiery exit once her necessary trials are complete. Along the way, we connect these symbols to Libra's scales, boundary-setting, and the lived experience of Seventh House planets: how to read the mirror without losing yourself, how to honor desire without abandoning discernment, and how to mine your own darkness for gold. If you're ready to see relationship as a sacred laboratory rather than a battlefield, press play and step to the window with us.Enjoyed the journey?

This wasn't a planned episode, but when a client and friend messaged me on Instagram this morning asking about Uranus through the first house, I felt the nudge to record something personal.If you've been wondering what the shift of Uranus into Gemini might mean for you – or you're already feeling it – this episode is for you.As someone who's had Uranus moving through my first house in Taurus for the past 7-8 years, I've lived through the disruption, identity shifts, and liberation that this planet brings.

Esperanza and Irwin reflect on the Lost Montauk, from a terrific article written by Henry Osmers for the Montauk Historical Society. Curiously, Montauk often doesn't get the historical respect, for lack of a better term, than other East End villages or hamlets do. We'll visit First House, the Montauk Island Club, Sandpiper Hill and the Wyandanee Inn and more in this homage to Montauk's rich history.
In this sidecar episode, we enter the strange and potent dream of Rumpelstiltskin, one of the darker Grimm tales — a story of impossible expectations, survival bargains, and the long road to reclaiming one's name.Told in three acts, this tale speaks directly to themes of the First House: identity projected too early, the mask we learn to wear, the persona that helps us survive but at a cost. We explore the alchemical pressure to turn straw into gold, the demonic helper who extracts a price, and the mercurial magic of naming what was once hidden.As the tale unfolds, we meet the shadow side of the daimon, dance around the fire with the trickster, and reflect on how the voice of Mercury — the messenger, the devil, the guide — helps us reclaim our sovereignty.A story for anyone who's ever felt the weight of someone else's expectations, or bargained with a part of themselves just to get through.Podcast Musician: Marlia CoeurPlease consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.
In this opening episode of the new series, we take our first breath—together—into the mystery of the houses.We begin at the threshold: the Ascendant, the eastern horizon, the moment of arrival. Before the name, before the role, before even the voice—there is presence. The First House is where the self enters the world, where the daimon is born alongside you, and where the mask you've crafted begins to take shape.We explore the house not as a concept but as a temple: a soul-place with doors, rooms, and echoes. Along the way, we travel with Hermes, Artemis, Chiron, and Dionysus through their birth stories, reflecting on the archetypal imprint left by our own. What were we rewarded for? What mask did we learn to wear? And what name—spoken or unspoken—have we carried since?This is the house of beginnings, of first impressions, and of the great “I am.” But like all things in astrology, it casts a shadow: the seventh house whispers “You are” or even “You are not.”This episode invites you to remember the feel of that first doorway. To re-enter the house of your rising sign. And to meet again—perhaps for the first time—the part of you that's always been becoming.

“Tiny” investments with BIG upsides? Today's guest turned a $12,000 down payment (all the money he had) into four rental properties and a unique real estate investing business. After an injury from his time in the Army left Manny Reyna with altered life plans, he had to decide what to do next. He didn't have much money but wanted to provide for his wife and young son. The best option: use his VA loan to buy a house. With every dollar he had, he bought a home, knowing it could one day be a rental, but little did he know that it would kickstart a very different real estate investing journey. Fast forward a few years later, and Manny has a glamping/tiny house business that he started with just $20,000. This tiny home brings in some respectable cash flow but wasn't without its struggles. In this episode, we're going through the big ups (and big downs) of Manny's journey, from having to literally move a house to bad guests ruining his first short-term rental, installing utilities on completely raw land, and managing his properties from very far away (he's in Japan right now!). In This Episode We Cover: Why every veteran or active duty military member should use THIS loan to buy a house How to start investing without much money by buying “tiny” investment properties Whether you should hire property management or self-manage your first property Why lowering your rent price is worth it to avoid prolonged vacancies (don't make Manny's mistake!) How much it cost Manny to install utilities (electrical, septic, etc.) on a raw land for his glamping properties And So Much More!

Big Thank you to 'Wendy' for volunteering her chart. This week I am answering 'Wendy's' question: "I have wondered whether having Pluto in my first house makes me think often about death and matters relating to death. I don't necessarily think about death in a negative or morbid way but I do feel I'm more aware of death, and my own mortality, than other people I know. I feel like it's a positive trait because knowing and accepting death allows me to enjoy the beauty and briefness of life. When I was a child, if I had an accident and saw myself bleeding I always thought I was "dying" (lol). Also, growing up at one point I wanted to become a mortician. Instead I became a registered nurse.

This week, Jason is joined by standup comedian, actor, TV Host, and executive producer Howie Mandel! Having remained a constant force in showbiz for decades, he has diversified his skillset by wearing as many different hats as possible in TV, film, and even the podcast space hosting his own show with his daughter, Jacqueline, Howie Mandel does stuff. Throughout his illustrious career, Howie has notably been very open about his mental health, including his diagnosis with ADHD, OCD, and misophonia. Although there have been many difficulties that come along with those diagnoses, Howie has continued to remain an advocate for mental health awareness and strives to be an example for those struggling with their mental health in any capacity. Howie reveals why he believes that thinking can be the downfall, why he never says “no,” how he ended up starting stand up comedy thanks to a dare, the importance of finding at least one thing in life to be excited about, why he is always investing with his money philosophy, his interest in real estate and learning from Monopoly, how he was making hundreds of thousands of dollars in the 80s, and working as his own agent to bring in extra income. Howie also gives insight to why he would negotiate IP over more money which evolved into creating his own company, the need to adopt and adapt, how he wishes he said yes to more movies, developing coping skills, and podcasting with his daughter. Howie reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
