Podcasts about Full moon

On this week's episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw explores Virgo Season, the 7 days of the week and their associated planet, anxiety and overwhelm, the Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, the North Node of Fate in Aquarius conjunct Hekate, goddess of crossroads and liminal spaces. We also explore Astraea, asteroid of cosmic justice, also close to the Full Moon. In addition, we are joined by Dr. Branwen Schaub of True Will Studio.   A Pisces Sun astrologer, Branwen shares her wide-ranging relationship with astrology, mathematics, dance, and Tarot, exploring the surprising connections between infinity, imagination, pattern recognition, creativity, grief, surrender, lineage, and release. We discuss the death of her father and the complicated legacy of astrology and occultism within her family, reflecting on the Pisces esoteric phrase, “I leave my father's home and turning back I save,” and what it can mean to turn toward our histories through forgiveness, reclamation, integration, and self-ownership. Along the way, we read two poems from Heidi Rose Robbins' Ask Me, listen to “Surrender” by Branwen's teacher Sri Kala, sing a song together, pull the Six of Swords from the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot, and close with Hekate, goddess of the crossroads, exploring what it means to have a light beside us without someone else choosing the path.

Wondering about the lunar eclipse meaning as it relates to the August full moon in Pisces? Late night on August 27 and into the wee hours of August 28, we had a full moon and a deep lunar eclipse. If you’ve been hearing that this is intense or life-changing, relax. Here’s what’s actually happening in the sky and how to use this moment in a calm, practical way without drama or dire predictions. What Happened in the Sky The lunar eclipse and the full moon are just one event, happening within a couple of hours of each other. It’s called a deep eclipse, although still a partial one, because the Earth’s shadow covered about 96% of the Moon. Not quite total, but close. While this is visually striking, there’s no impending disaster or chaos. You are OK. You don’t need to do anything special for the event, but it’s a useful time to pause, take stock, and make one clear choice that supports your well-being. Full Moon in Pisces This full moon is in Pisces, a sign linked with feelings, imagination, your spiritual life, rest, and intuition. A full moon is traditionally a time to reflect with the aid of that bright moonlight. Take time to notice your current results and make decisions about where you might need to tweak things to improve your outcomes. This is a great time to have compassion for yourself. Take care of your own needs rather than just serving others, and let go of what no longer serves you. Pay attention to any repeated gut feelings or intuitive messages, then check the facts before you dive in and take action. This is especially for any big decisions. If you’re feeling more emotional or tired, eclipses can do that. Honor your feelings. So, if you’re tired, rest. Identify your feelings and work through them. Talk to someone supportive or address your concern as calmly as you can. This is also a time to surrender and admit that you can’t control everything. Loosen the grip and accept what is. Or you make a plan to work toward a goal and do your best without getting worked up about every step along the way. Think about any behaviors you could tweak. If you’re prone to people-pleasing or procrastinating, this is a great time to work on either one. Maybe you’re avoiding a conversation, or you need to work on your financial goals. Now is the time to be honest with yourself and take one strategic action step or simply ask yourself where you need greater clarity in your life right now. Shortcomings of Modern Day Astrology Astrology is meant to give you a snapshot of your life using your birth, or natal, chart. With your chart done, you can see how an astrological event impacts different aspects of your life and where your opportunities look the brightest. It was never meant to be a constant emergency warning system. Today’s modern astrology leans toward psychological or pop astrology, and considered to be a self-help tool. That’s why planetary movements get translated into the similar language. It’s so repetitive. Every event is a time for self-reflection, strengthening boundaries, releasing, and personal growth. That’s  why the celestial messages sound so generic, because they are written to appeal to everyone.  Back in the day, astrology offered monthly horoscopes which were still sort of general but at least were tailored to your sun sign. Each conjunction or alignment doesn’t impact everybody the same way. Fear, urgency, and anger attract attention and get shared, which is why astrology related headlines often sound so dire. many practitioners resort to catastrophic headlines like, “this eclipse will change everything.” The way I look at this, don’t we already have enough to worry about without piling on a dramatic or ominous astrological events every month. This just adds more negativity to an already overloaded nervous system. A planetary alignment is not an emergency alert. An eclipse is not proof that your life is about to fall apart. If astrology leaves you feeling uneasy, powerless, or convinced disaster is unavoidable, take a step back. That’s not astrological wisdom, it’s factually more like fear-mongering marketing. Many use dire language  simply to get your attention and make you click. The Hoax of Barbault’s Basket First, let me explain who André Barbault was. A French astrologer, he first identified the four planets aligning in this basket shape back in 1955. He studied how this configuration corresponded to specific turning points in history. The most recent “Barbault’s Basket,” just happened on July 15–24, 2026. Many writers pointed this being a dramatic time for a new world order and that created a lot of catastrophic headlines. Guess what I learned after reading several, very long astrological discussions about the Basket? Nothing! That’s right, these long articles never drew a conclusion about what it actually meant. I also did an international review of the news for that July period and NOTHING big happened in the news. Some things escalated but those events had begun earlier. It was just a lot of hype and no substance. Red Flags of Fear-Based Astrology When a video or post says a transit will definitely cause a breakup, financial loss, illness, or catastrophe, there’s no need to continue engaging with it. The same is true for content that insists you must do something or offers the same alarming prediction for everyone. If it leaves you feeling panicky, that’s a red flag. A responsible astrologer says, “this may be a demanding period,” then explain what area might need extra attention. That’s very different from “disaster is coming.” If a post makes you feel scared or helpless, turn away and return to the facts of your life. Think about what’s actually happening and one sensible action you can take to improve your situation. Practical Actions for this Eclipse Choose one action from this list of simple steps to take after the eclipse: Cancel, shorten, or delegate one unnecessary obligation. Make one appointment you’ve been avoiding, whether medical, financial, or emotional support. Send one clear message: “I can’t do that this week,” “I need time to think about that.” Limit draining activity like social media, news consumption, or responding instantly to texts. Schedule one replenishing activity for the week. Take a walk, a bath, listen to music, call a friend, or go to bed early. The stars and planets can invite you to pause and look inward, but don’t let them run your life. Keep your feet on the ground, use your own good judgment, and let astrology help you ask better questions rather than add to your stress. Right now, everything is OK, and when you focus on what’s good, take care of your needs, and find ways to enjoy life, you’ll land on your feet. So What Does This Eclipse Actually Mean? This was one combined event. A deep partial lunar eclipse (about 96% coverage) and a full moon in Pisces rather than two separate happenings. Pisces themes for this full moon is about feelings, intuition, dreams, compassion, and creativity. No special ritual is required. This is just a good excuse to pause and make one clear choice that supports your well-being. Feel your feelings first, then check the facts before acting, especially on big decisions. Watch for fear-based astrology online. If you encounter any absolute predictions, doom language, and content that leaves you feeling powerless, feel free to click away. FAQs What does a lunar eclipse mean astrologically? A lunar eclipse amplifies the themes of the full moon it coincides with, often marking a turning point tied to letting go, emotional release, or a shift in perspective. It’s considered a heightened moment for reflection, not a sign that anything dramatic or dangerous is about to happen. What does the Pisces full moon mean for me? The Pisces full moon highlights emotions, intuition, dreams, compassion, and creativity. It’s a good time to notice recurring gut feelings, reflect on where you need more clarity, and choose one grounded action that supports your well-being rather than reacting on impulse. Is a lunar eclipse dangerous or a bad omen? No. A lunar eclipse is a natural planetary event, not a warning of disaster. Fear-based predictions online are often designed to attract attention and promote shares rather than reflect accurate astrological guidance. If a post leaves you feeling panicked, that’s a sign to step back and check the facts of your own life instead. How can I tell if astrology content is fear-based? Watch for absolute predictions, doom language, pressure to act or buy something quickly, claims that a sign is “cursed,” and content that leaves you feeling powerless. A grounded, responsible astrologer points out a possible theme and practical ways to work with it. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What does a lunar eclipse mean astrologically?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "A lunar eclipse amplifies the themes of the full moon it coincides with, often marking a turning point tied to letting go, emotional release, or a shift in perspective.

Timestamps [1:22] Mercury enters Virgo (Aug. 25, 4:04 am PDT) and stays in this sign until Sep. 10. Mercury is at its strongest in Virgo, in both its rulership and its exaltation. Here's a link to Vanessa Couto's article on Mercury as a psychopomp. [3:45] Mercury makes a conjunction with the Sun (Aug. 27, 10:04 am PDT) at 4°26' Virgo. When a planet is in a conjunction with the Sun within 17' of arc, it's called cazimi, or “in the heart of the Sun.” This cazimi period is exact at 10:03 am PDT, but is within orb of 17' arc  between 3:15 am-4:54 pm PDT. The Sun-Mercury conjunction is on the Sabian symbol 5 Virgo, A man dreaming of fairies. [6:15] Moon Report! The Pisces Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse (Aug. 27, 9:18 pm PDT) is 4°54' Pisces-Virgo. This is the Full Moon in the Aug. 12 Leo New Moon cycle. The Feb. 20, 2027 Virgo lunar eclipse in Virgo is the last eclipse on this axis for a while, and the last eclipse in Pisces until 2034. Embrace your feelings while grounding yourself to the material world. [9:38] This is the Full Moon (awareness point) in a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that began with the New Moon on Feb. 27, 2025 (9°40' Pisces). The First Quarter Moon (first action point) was on Nov. 27, 2025 (6°17' Pisces), and the Last Quarter Moon (last action point) is on May 28, 2027, 7°1' Pisces. [12:07] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon Periods. The Moon squares Venus (Aug. 23, 11:30 pm PDT). It's VOC for 1 day, 2 hours, 32 minutes, then enters Aquarius (Aug. 25, 2:02 am PDT). Use this VOC Moon to set feelings aside and take constructive advice to better manage your relationships and finances. [13:40] The Moon trines Venus (Aug. 26, 2:59 pm PDT). It's VOC for 21 hours, 5 minutes then enters Pisces (Aug. 27, 12:04 pm PDT). Use this VOC Moon period to participate in groups with a focus on topics that you would like to learn more about.

The Sabian symbol for Mercury and the Sun is 6 Virgo, A merry-go-round. Uranus is on 6 Gemini, Drilling for oil. Break the cycle of circular patterns.

This is the week Pisces eclipses end, and they are not leaving through the gift shop. Friday's full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces is the last one we'll have in this sign for many years, and it's going out in a direct square to Uranus, which is a bit like a houseguest who's been staying with you since 2023 announcing their departure by pulling the fire alarm on the way out.If you've been here a while, you know the Pisces corner of your life has been under construction for years. Saturn moved through and made you grow up there. Neptune finally left after nearly a decade of fog. Last year stacked a Venus retrograde and a Mercury retrograde on top of it all, and eclipses have been detonating in this same territory the whole time. Whatever delusions, romantic thinking, or too-dreamy assumptions you were running in this part of your life, they've been getting stripped out one by one. It has not been comfortable. It has, however, made you extremely hard to rattle here. Give me what you got. We were raised in this asylum.So yes, an eclipse squaring Uranus means all bets are off. Eclipses are unpredictable by nature; Uranus is the planet of the plot twist; putting them together means something changes this week, full stop. Life speeds up around eclipses, the landscape shifts in a matter of days, and you look up on the other side going, wait, when did all of that happen. That's the deal. You don't get a vote on the timing.Key moments of the week:Sunday, August 23: Sun in Virgo trine Chiron in Taurus (3:29PM)Tuesday, August 25: Mercury in Leo opposite North Node in Aquarius (2:57AM)Tuesday, August 25: Mercury enters Virgo (7:04AM)Tuesday, August 25: Mercury in Virgo trine Chiron in Taurus (2:56PM)Thursday, August 27: Sun conjoins Mercury in Virgo (1:03PM)Friday, August 28: Lunar eclipse in Pisces (12:14AM)Friday, August 28: Full Moon in Pisces (12:18AM)Friday, August 28: Mercury in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini (3:24AM)Friday, August 28: Sun in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini (6:18PM)To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

What if your greatest spiritual guide isn't outside of you but already within you?In this inspiring episode of the Modern Mystic Soul Podcast, Therese sits down with Lynnsey Robinson, certified hypnotherapist, spiritual teacher, and intuitive guide, to explore how hypnotherapy can quiet the analytical mind and reconnect us with the deeper wisdom of our soul.Lynnsey shares her journey from traditional clinical hypnotherapy into a spiritually expansive practice, where she guides clients through past-life regressions, Life Between Lives sessions, dream exploration, and subconscious healing. Together, Therese and Lynnsey discuss how the subconscious mind can become a bridge between psychology and spirituality, opening the door to profound healing, greater intuition, and authentic self-discovery.Their conversation also weaves through a shared love of lifelong learning, nature, consciousness, and the importance of staying curious rather than believing we have all the answers. It's an invitation to trust your own inner authority while remaining open to the mysteries that continue to unfold.Whether you're new to hypnosis, fascinated by reincarnation, or simply seeking a deeper relationship with your intuition, this conversation offers practical wisdom, heartfelt stories, and plenty of inspiration for your own journey.

Introduce yourself to your former self and don't let pride stop you from getting acquainted.x

A Collective Initiatory ThresholdThis week carries one of the most significant astrological events of the year. A total solar eclipse at 20 degrees of Leo. Rather than walking the week strictly in date sequence, we move through the eclipse as the gravitational center, with the supporting cycles named as what prepares the field before it and integrates what it seeds after.This is not primarily a personal transformation moment. It is a collective initiatory threshold.Before the Eclipse — The Field Is PreparedMonday, August 10: Venus in Libra trines Pluto in Aquarius and opposes Neptune in Aries. Deep encounter becomes possible in the relational field. The kind of connection that touches something beneath the surface and reorganizes rather than merely confirms. Venus opposing Neptune brings emotional porousness and openness to what the collective imaginal field is carrying. Together these contacts prepare something in the relational field for what the eclipse will seed.Tuesday, August 11: Mars enters Cancer. Mercury in Leo opposes Pluto and trines Neptune in Aries. Venus in Libra trines Uranus in Gemini. A significant day of preparation. Mars entering Cancer moves the instinctual force from mental agility into feeling-body intelligence, acting from attunement, protecting what it loves, moving from ancestral knowing. In Cancer, Mars will quickly activate Saturn and Neptune in Aries, bringing instinctual protective intelligence to bear on what communities genuinely need in order to survive and flourish. In a time when shared meaning and collective care are under pressure, this is Mars in Cancer making itself known.Mercury opposing Pluto asks what truth, spoken from genuine conviction, carries the power to reorganize rather than merely inform. Mercury trine Neptune opens the creative voice to something larger than the personal. Venus trine Uranus completes the preparation, something genuinely new becoming possible in how connection forms.The Solar EclipseWednesday, August 12: Total solar eclipse at 20 degrees of Leo. Mercury in Leo sextiles Uranus in Gemini. A solar eclipse seeds a six-month arc of development. This one falls on the South Node in Leo, asking for release and integration of what has been organized around personal recognition and individual performance, so that what is genuinely creative can be offered more freely in service of the collective becoming the North Node in Aquarius is calling toward.Jupiter has been amplifying the Leo field for weeks. The solar eclipse moves through that field, asking that the generosity, warmth, and creative aliveness Jupiter has been cultivating be offered not in service of the personal story but in service of something larger.Watch what surfaces in collective life around this eclipse window. Eclipse seasons often bring what has been operating in shadow into sudden undeniable visibility. Mercury sextiling Uranus on the same day brings a quality of sudden mental clarity, a shift in understanding that may be one of the most durable gifts the eclipse carries.After the Eclipse — Integration and ArrivalThursday, August 13: Mercury in Leo sextiles Venus in Libra. The creative voice and the relational field in warm easy alignment. What was seeded at the eclipse finds its first point of genuine human contact.Saturday, August 15: Mercury conjuncts Jupiter in Leo. A genuine arrival. What has been understood becomes meaningful. What has been articulated finds its larger significance. The creative voice offered in service of something beyond the personal finds its fullest most generous expression.The Eclipse PortalThis solar eclipse opens a portal that closes with a companion lunar eclipse, the Full Moon at 5 degrees of Pisces on August 27. What is seeded on August 12 will be illuminated and begin its first completion on August 27. Between the two eclipses, a compressed arc of development unfolds. Let what moves in you this week be fully seeded before reaching for its completion.Reflection QuestionsWhat does this solar eclipse on the South Node in Leo ask you to release so that what is genuinely creative in you can be offered more freely in service of something larger?As Mars enters Cancer, where is the instinctual body's protective intelligence being activated — what community or shared field is asking for your fierce and grounded care?In the days around this eclipse, what shifts in understanding feel like they belong to the longer arc of what is being seeded?Podcast poem: A Brave and Startling Truth by Maya Angelou(Trigger warning–the poem carries some strong imagery of violence)If the depth of these cycles is stirring something in you, a desire for grounded support in understanding how they are moving through your own unique chart, I offer astrology sessions designed for exactly that.You can find the link to schedule under What's Open Now at ontheedgesofchange.com.Support the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comThis episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

The 8/8 Lions Gate Portal is open, and this year it doesn't simply open and close. It opened with a powerful Full Moon, peaks on August 8th, and carries us straight into the Total Solar Eclipse on August 12th and the new eclipse cycle beginning. In this video, the 3 key things you need to know to make the most of this eclipsed Lions Gate, plus a card pull for the collective.

The hysteria concludes this week as we cover the remaining entries in Full Moon's best-selling movie ever, PREHYSTERIA! We're covering parts two and three of the tiny dino epic, as our cute, scaly buddies team up with a spoiled rich kid and a Scotland-obsessed little girl to wreak havoc and mend hearts. Author Lowell Greenblatt is back to chime in on this seminal Moonbeam series, and obviously there's lots of Freddy talk.  Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli  Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck  Logo by Doug McCambridge  Email: puppetmasterscastlefreaks@gmail.com Instagram/Threads: @puppetmasters_castlefreaks  YouTube: @PuppetMastersCastleFreaks  Next week's episode: Josh Kirby...

Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan who enjoy teaching astronomy classes and showing the public views through their telescopes. actualastronomy@gmail.com   Episode 545 of the Actual Astronomy podcast features hosts Chris and Shane discussing the observer's calendar and planetary visibility for August 2026. Throughout the month, skywatchers can track key planetary positions, including Venus in the morning sky and Jupiter rising around 3:00 AM. Notable astronomical highlights include the Perseid meteor shower, multiple lunar feature viewings, and a partial lunar eclipse accompanying the Full Moon on August 28th.   Planet Positions & Visibility: - Mercury: Very close to the Sun. Superior conjunction on the 27th. - Venus: In W, evening sky all month. - Mars: Rises at 3 AM in ENE. - Jupiter: Hidden behind the Sun at the start of Aug. Will rise around 5 AM by the end of month. - Saturn: Rises in E around midnight, transits around 5:00 AM, high in SSE at dawn.   Astronomical Events by Date: - August 2 - Mercury at greatest morning elongation (19° from Sun) - Comet 10P/Tempel 2visible at 2:25 AM - Image for when moon leaves in second week of Aug.   - August 3 - Lunar Feature (Mare Orientale) visible at 4:45 AM - Carbon star RS Cyg best in evening   - August 5 - Last Quarter Moon at 22:21 ***August 5 Falcon 9 Upper Stage lunar impact anyone?***   - August 9 - Mars 4° SW of crescent Moon before dawn. - Star cluster NGC 6791 well placed this evening   - August 10 - Moon at perigee - Wild Duck Cluster (M11) well placed this evening   - August 11 - Mercury 2° South of Moon, just before dawn. - Globular clusters M22 and M28 well placed this evening   - August 12 - New Moon at 13:37 — Partial solar eclipse for US east coast. - Perseid meteors (ZHR=100), late evening, but best seen after midnight   - August 16 - Venus 9° W of Moon   - August 19 - First Quarter Moon at 22:46 - Lunar feature Barrow Ray visible at 8:30 PM - Carbon star S Sct best in evening   - August 23 - Lunar feature Jeweled Handle visible at 12:00 AM - Carbon star V CrB best in evening   - August 26 - Crater Bailly visible at 10:00 PM - 57 Aql (colorful double star) visible   - August 28th - Full Moon: Occurs at 0:19. - Partial (96%) Lunar Eclipse - 9 Metis at Opposition: Visible at magnitude m = 9.3 The asteroid was discovered on April 25, 1848, by Irish astronomer Andrew Graham. It was his only asteroid discovery and holds historical significance as the only asteroid ever discovered from an observatory in Ireland (the Markree Observatory). Scientists believe 9 Metis has a cataclysmic history. It is highly dense and rich in metals, leading researchers to conclude that it is likely the core remnant of an ancient, much larger primordial asteroid. This parent body was completely destroyed and stripped of its outer crust by a colossal space collision billions of years ago.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of CosmicRX Radio, Tasha Beg and Madi Murphy explore the cosmic significance of recent and upcoming astrological events, including the full moon in Aquarius, the lunar cycles, and the influence of planetary alignments on societal and personal transformation. They discuss how understanding these patterns can help us navigate change with grace and insight.Tasha Beg is an evolutionary astrologer, intuitive storyteller, and pop culture pundit. A graduate of Wellesley College with a degree in Economics and Middle Eastern Studies, Tasha spent nearly a decade in finance, eventually rising to Vice President of Institutional Sales. However, a profound personal awakening during her Saturn Return led her to leave the corporate world in 2022 to fully dedicate her life to the sacred language of the cosmos. When she isn't analyzing soul plans for clients, she moonlights as "The Pop Astrologist," analyzing celebrity culture and forecasting cosmic weather through her weekly Substack newsletter. 

Under the expansive and illuminating light of the Full Moon in Aquarius, Therese Tucker channels a transmission from the Golden Circle Council of Sirius and the Arcturian Council of Light one that opens with a powerful cord-cutting meditation and deepens into one of the most quietly revelatory teachings this circle has received.Therese guides participants through an energy-cleansing visualization, releasing self-limiting beliefs and cutting cords to the negative stories that keep us small. From that cleared space, the Councils arrive with answers to three questions brought forward by the group questions about how to love deeply, the secret to inner peace, and why some people dream vividly while others wake with no memory of dreaming at all.The thread running through all three answers is the same and it may shift something fundamental in how you understand what you have been reaching for. Because what the Councils reveal is that the experience of lacking love, peace, or happiness is not a condition. It is an illusion. A hallucination, even. And once you hear how they explain that and why it is very difficult to unsee.This transmission is an activation for releasing the belief in lack and remembering that what you have been searching for has never actually been absent.✨ Continue your spiritual journey with Therese Tucker:

Episode 294In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.The astrology of the week of August 3rd, 2026, gives us a moment to process and prepare for the upcoming eclipse season. When Chiron (the minor planet of healing) stations retrograde in Taurus, it calls us to slow down and tend to any wounds that surfaced during last week's Full Moon. Thankfully, we have support from Venus (the planet of love and beauty) as it moves into Libra (its home sign), encouraging balance, fairness, and cute moments of connection. And the Sun's trine to Saturn (the planet of boundaries and systems) also helps us to find the structure and stability we need to feel secure. Use this time to soften and sift through what you're ready to shed with next week's South Node eclipse.This episode covers:The start of Chiron retrograde on Monday, August 3rdVenus' entrance into Libra on Thursday, August 6th The Sun's trine to Saturn Rx on Thursday, August 6thMercury's entrance into Leo on Sunday, August 9thThis episode was recorded on 06/22/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.ICYMI: For no reason whatsoever, we're offering new and expired CHANI app users 30 days of human-centered astro tools and insights for free.

I made you a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE companion guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for this episode! This FREE instant access PDF will give you 11 easy and enjoyable ways to celebrate Lammas (the halfway point between Summer Solstice & Autumn Equinox) + 8 journal prompts to help you reflect and process the inspiration of this season. ⁠⁠Download it now!⁠⁠⁠After the Summer Solstice, we officially entered the Dark Half of the Year, though it probably didn't feel like it. Subtly we started waning in hours of sunlight each day, and as we approach the Autumn Equinox, it'll grow more and more noticeable. Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a festival often celebrated on August 1st, marking the halfway point between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox, as well as the first harvest of the wheel of the year. Lughnasadh is the old Irish name for the festival - and the old spelling too. Fun fact: Lúnasa is actually the Irish word for August! Lammas is the more English Anglo-Saxon name.It's not too late to celebrate! Lammas is not just one day, but a portal, a Season. Time is hyperlocal, and traditions vary. While some celebrate on August 1, some celebrated much earlier on "Lunar Lammas" with the 8th Full Moon after the Winter Solstice, which fell on July 29. "Solar Lammas" is on August 6 this week!

A Compassionate ReturnAfter last week's culmination, the Full Moon activating all three great cycles, the nodal shift, Lammas marking the first harvest, this week offers a more interior quality. Three personal planets on the move. A significant healing threshold turning inward. And the week ahead already gathering its own considerable activation.But first, this week. Which is asking something particular of us.Key Cycles This Week:Monday, August 3: Chiron stations retrograde at 1 degree of Taurus, retrograding back into Aries and turning direct in early 2027. When Chiron entered Taurus in June we named a new era of healing work beginning — the wounds of body, earth, and resource. But Chiron is not yet fully committed to Taurus. It is turning back to complete what was not yet fully metabolized in Aries since 2018. The wounds of identity, agency, the right to exist and take up space. The armored individualism that mistakes isolation for strength.This retrograde is not a setback. It is a deepening. And Chiron does not return to Aries empty-handed. It has touched Taurus, briefly, but genuinely. The wounds of scarcity, of distorted relationship to resource and embodied worth, are now being carried back into the Aries review. What would it mean to act and assert from a place of genuine embodied sufficiency rather than the chronic survival-level scarcity that dominator culture has installed in so many? The two wound territories are informing each other through the retrograde.You might notice this as a revisiting of something you thought you had moved through. Let it be a compassionate return rather than a discouraging one. The Shamanic tradition knows that the deepest healing rarely happens in a single pass.Thursday, August 6: Venus enters Libra. Sun in Leo trines Saturn in Aries. Venus moves into her home sign, where she will remain for just over a month. After Virgo's careful discernment, Venus in Libra breathes into the relational field with greater ease and natural grace. Beauty as a value. Fairness as a felt sense. The recognition that relationship at its best is a genuine art form.On the same day the Sun in Leo trines Saturn in Aries. Creative expression meets honest reality. What has been alive and expansive in Leo season finds the grounded commitment that gives it genuine form and staying power. A good day for clear-eyed recognition of what is genuinely sustainable and worth building further.Sunday, August 9: Mercury enters Leo, remaining about two and a half weeks. Mercury in Leo squares Chiron in Taurus. Mercury moves from Cancer's careful feeling-toned interior processing into Leo's warmth and creative conviction. The Communicator now speaks from the center rather than the periphery. More direct, more vital, more willing to be seen in what it knows.On the same day Mercury squares Chiron freshly retrograded toward Aries. Where has the voice been shaped by survival rather than authentic expression? Where has it learned to be smaller or more deferential than what is actually true? You might notice something you want to say meeting an old hesitation you did not know was still there. Stay curious about that hesitation. It may be pointing to exactly where the voice is ready to grow.Looking AheadNext week Venus in Libra activates the air planets, moving toward opposition with Saturn and Neptune in Aries and making contact with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini. Mercury in Leo activates the fire planets, trining Saturn and Neptune in Aries and moving through Jupiter in Leo. Let what this week offers be genuinely received before the next wave of activation arrives.Reflection QuestionsAs Chiron retrogrades back into Aries, what wound around identity, agency, or the right to take up space is asking for one more honest and compassionate look?Venus entering Libra invites genuine relational intelligence. Where in your relational field is the cultivation of real balance and right relation most needed right now?Where does the wound around speaking from genuine conviction still shape your voice, and what wants to be said that has not yet found its full expression?If the depth of these cycles is stirring something in you, a desire for grounded support in understanding how they are moving through your own unique chart, I offer astrology sessions designed for exactly that.You can find the link to schedule under What's Open Now at Sheila's website: ontheedgesofchange.com.Support the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comThis episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

On this episode, Jared and Jen introduce a new Full Moon Parasite Cleanse Protocol designed in conjunction with Cellcore Biosciences, to make parasite cleansing simpler, more affordable, and easier to follow than a comprehensive 90-day program. They explain why timing a cleanse around the full moon matters, discuss the role parasites may play in common symptoms like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, cravings, and digestive discomfort, and walk through each phase of the protocol - from drainage support and binders to rebuilding the gut afterward. They also compare this protocol to their original 90-day parasite cleanse, discuss who may benefit from each approach, and share practical tips for minimizing discomfort during a cleanse. They also explain the included symptom quiz, companion eBook, and how to choose the approach that best fits your health goals.Products:Full Moon Parasite Cleansing Protocols3 Month Parasite Cleansing ProtocolCellCore CoreMend GI Constipation Support Additional Information:Parasite Burden Quiz359: Comprehensive Detoxification of Parasites, Lyme, and Other Toxins With Dr. Todd Watts of CellCore Biosciences431: Are Parasites Part of Your Health Concerns?

Author Meg Ripley joins us for this excursion into Area 51, and more importantly, into the psyche of one Mr. William Shatner. We're talking about GROOM LAKE, a completely forgotten 2002 passion project (vanity project?) written and directed by Shatner. We dig into the wild history of this film, which turned out to be one of the most challenging and expensive of Full Moon's early-aughts output, as well as dissect some of the film's more... interesting choices.  Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli  Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck  Logo by Doug McCambridge  Email: puppetmasterscastlefreaks@gmail.com Instagram/Threads: @puppetmasters_castlefreaks  YouTube: @PuppetMastersCastleFreaks  Next week's episode: PreHysteria! 2 / PreHysteria! 3

August has arrived—and according to intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista, this isn't just another month. It's one of the most pivotal energetic periods of the year.After July's Mercury retrograde invited us to slow down, reflect, and reset, August accelerates the journey with two powerful eclipses, major planetary shifts, and an invitation to shed old identities in favor of something far more authentic.If you've been feeling like life has been nudging or pushing you toward change, you're not imagining it.In this episode, Stevie walks us through the astrological themes week by week, explaining what each major transit means, where to focus your energy, and how to navigate the month with greater clarity, trust, and intention.IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:Why August 2026 eclipse season marks a major turning point filled with endings, beginnings, and soul-level course correctionsHow Saturn in Aries continues challenging us to release old identities and discover who we truly areThe meaning of Lammas (Lughnasadh) and why early August is the perfect time to celebrate gratitude, abundance, and the harvest in your own lifeHow Chiron retrograde invites deep healing while helping you recognize just how far you've already comeWhy Venus entering Libra encourages more balance, beauty, connection, and harmony in your relationships and daily lifeWhat it means as Mercury finally leaves its retrograde shadow and begins moving into new territoryHow Mercury in Leo inspires creativity, confidence, self-expression, and reconnecting with your inner childWhy Mars entering Cancer asks us to slow down, nurture ourselves, tend to home and family, and reconnect with our emotional rootsThe significance of the August 12 Solar Eclipse in Leo and how it may close important chapters while opening your heart to a new version of yourselfWhy this eclipse is less about forcing outcomes—and more about trusting where your soul is already leading youThe caution around Mars square Neptune, and why it's important to avoid making emotionally reactive decisions during the third week of the monthWhat Virgo season brings as we transition into healthier routines, organization, productivity, and grounded momentumHow the Mercury cycle reaches an important midpoint, offering an opportunity to reflect, refine, and adjust projects or ideas that began in JulyThe meaning of the August 28 Pisces Lunar Eclipse, and why surrender, intuition, and trusting the unknown become your greatest strengthsWhy 2026 continues to feel like a year of brand-new territory—and how to embrace the uncertainty instead of resisting itThroughout the conversation, Stevie reminds us that astrology is a powerful tool for understanding the larger cycles unfolding in our lives, helping us work with the energy instead of against it.If August feels intense, know that you're not alone. This month's astrology is inviting all of us to release what no longer fits, reconnect with our hearts, and step into a more authentic version of ourselves—one choice at a time.MORE WITH STEVIE CALISTAVisit steviecalista.com to learn more about Stevie's astrology readings, classes, and current offerings.Follow Stevie on Instagram: @farmhousemoonSubscribe to Stevie on Substack: @farmhousemoonSOLAR ECLIPSE VISIBILITYPath of Totality: Greenland, Iceland, Spain and Portugal, Russia:Partial Eclipse Regions:North America: Parts of Alaska and northeastern Canada/U.S. see a minor partial eclipse. i.e., New York will have about 9% coverage and Detroit roughly 3%.Europe + Africa: Much of Europe and northwestern Africa experience a deep partial eclipse near sunset Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

We're in the muck, but you've always got to excavate the gems out of the dirt, before you can get them shined up. The Full Moon in Aquarius this week had us revisiting the seeds we planted in 2020. At the same time, the Full Moon opened the portal of eclipse season, just as teh Nodes moved into Aquarius and Leo for a new 1.5 year cycle. What is being brought to your awareness now is pushing you to grow and evolve as we enter this new era.Join my email communityCome to YogaSign up for Cosmic Conversation 00:00 Welcome and Big Sky Energy02:16 Rest Month and Listening03:43 Aquarius Full Moon Breakdown10:06 Pluto Return and Revolution11:38 2020 Seeds and Jupiter Pluto Cycle16:50 Eclipse Season Begins21:10 Nodes Shift Leo Aquarius24:18 Saturn Retrograde Responsibilities27:16 Void Moons and Chiron Retrograde28:28 Eclipse Season Advice and Wrap Up

 by Patrick BromleyChicago's biggest and best horror convention returns!One of my favorite weekends of the year is Chicago's annual Flashback Weekend, the horror convention created and run by Mike and Mia Kerz that takes place in Rosemont, Illinois. It's three days of panels, parties, contests, vendors, celebrity guests, live music -- everything you could want as a horror fan. This will be my sixth year hosting panels at the convention, but I've been going to Flashback much longer than just these six years. I love it.This year's Flashback features a salute to 30 years of the Scream franchise, celebrates Halloween II, a Night of the Creeps reunion, features first-time Flashback appearances from Henry Thomas, Steven Weber, and the Silent Night, Deadly Night Santas, and even has Obsession co-star Megan Lawless making her convention debut (I get to host her panel on Sunday! Come on out!). Plus, this year sees the world premiere of a brand new Full Moon movie (relevant to my interests!), in-costume photo opps, Alan Howarth playing the score to Halloween II LIVE along with the film, a tribute to Svengoolie (the greatest horror host of all time), and so much more.One of my favorite things about Flashback -- besides all the cool guests and the chance to spend the weekend surrounded by horror stuff and horror fans -- is that it's a family-run convention and really feels that way. All of the proceeds from the con go into supporting the Midway Drive-In located in Dixon, IL -- the nicest and best drive-in in Illinois -- which they bought in 2007. I love that Flashback is dedicated to preserving the big-screen theatrical experience.From this year's press release:Flashback Weekend Chicago Horror ConventionJuly 31 - Aug. 2, 2026Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago, Rosemont, IL  60018 Tickets now on sale at www.flashbackweekend.comFlashback Weekend Chicago Horror Convention celebrates its 25th year with a MASSIVE Celebrity guest line-up, amazing evening events, luxurious after-parties, an enormous vendor room, and special Celebrity costume Celeb Photo-Ops.All of this and more, taking place in one of the largest and most beautiful Convention hotels in the World!FLASHBACK WEEKEND 2026 SALUTES;-30 years of SCREAM! Horror Icons! Tribute to the 1980's Golden Age of Horror!"OBSESSION" (2026)!!!

What's up, losers? Stassi and Taylor are ready for their show premiere—which just so happens to fall on a full moon. Channeling their inner witches, manifesting miracles (and maybe a few hexes), they discuss navigating the madness of upcoming press tours. Plus, Stassi reveals why she's been spiraling about movie theater seating, discuss elevated travel styles, and Taylor revisits some celebrity beef that she still hasn't quite shaken. They also talk about some of the cringe of being public figures and why Stassi will be automated cars' #1 fan.Thanks for supporting our sponsors:Amazon Music: Your one app for music, podcasts, and audiobooks — Amazon Music Unlimited subscription now includes access to audiobooksBoll and Branch: For a limited time, get 15% off sitewide at BollAndBranch.com/stassi with code Stassi.

A Full Moon in Aquarius landing right in the middle of the Lion's Gate Portal. This energy is everything y'all. (Mercury went direct July 23, but post-retrograde shadow is through August 6). In this episode Audrey breaks down why this Sturgeon Full Moon is the perfect energetic bridge between everything you've been releasing and everything you're calling in — and why this specific combination of cosmic energy is one of the most powerful reset moments of the entire year. Mercury is also coming back direct right around this time which means the clarity is coming back online just in time for the final push through Lion's Gate.In this episode you'll learn:What the Sturgeon Moon is, where the name comes from, and why it's considered a symbol of abundance and harvestWhy Aquarius energy is specifically designed to help you shed old versions of yourself and step into who you're actually becomingHow this full moon and the Lion's Gate Portal work together to create one of the most powerful manifestation and release windows of the yearWhy Mercury coming back direct right now is the best timing possible — and what that means for your clarity and communicationThis is a harvest season. Everything you have been working on, dreaming about, showing up for — it's time to honor it, release what's blocking the next level, and get really clear on your next aligned step. The universe isn't asking for rushed results right now. It's asking for intentional ones. Reflect, release, celebrate, and call it all in.The timing of everything happening right now is honestly wild. The Lion's Gate Portal opened on July 28th — meaning the manifestation energy is already fully activated and the veil between the physical and spiritual world is already thinning. This Full Moon in Aquarius on July 29th is dropping right in the middle of that open portal, making it the perfect moment to release the old version of you that's been blocking what you're trying to call in. Mercury is still in its shadow period through August 6th, so you may still be feeling some of that foggy, murky, communication-is-off energy — but clarity is coming. Once Mercury is fully direct, expect things to click into place fast. Then we hit 8/8 — the peak of the Lion's Gate — which is the single most powerful manifestation moment of the year, where your intentions, your energy, and your soul's blueprint all align with the universe in a way that only happens once. And we ride that all the way through August 12th when the portal closes. This is not a coincidence. This is a window. And it is wide open right now.FREE GIFTTTSSSS: 8/8 Sound Bath — go to www.helloaudreyrose.com/lionsgate to grab it.

Episode 293In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.The astrology of the week of July 27th, 2026, is packed with potential for profound transformation. When Venus (the planet of love and connection) squares off with Mars (the planet of action), it surfaces the friction in our relationships, especially around communication. But when Jupiter (the planet of luck and good fortune) enters the heart of the Sun, we're gifted an opportunity to plant seeds for expansion and abundance — at the same time that the Full Moon in Aquarius illuminates our need to confront the fears blocking our creative expression. Now is the time to commit to working through any issues lurking in the shadows and making space for the goodness in your life to grow.This episode covers:The Sun's trine to Neptune Rx on Monday, July 27thThe Sun's sextile to Uranus on Monday, July 27thVenus' square to Mars on Tuesday, July 28thThe Jupiter cazimi in Leo on Wednesday, July 29thThe Full Moon in Aquarius on Wednesday, July 29thThis episode was recorded on 6/22/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.The music featured in the podcast was created by Latashá.

This week the Sun opposes Pluto, but Neptune and Uranus are there to help as we move towards a Sun conjunction to Jupiter, opposing the Moon, which sits on top of Pluto. It's a powerful Full Moon to write home about – but you should totally wait until after the transit is over because everyone's likely to be pretty jumpy this week!
