Podcasts about Hamlet

For this week's main podcast review, Megan Lachinski, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, and Brendan Hodges join me to discuss the latest film from Academy Award-winner Chloé Zhao, "Hamnet," starring Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn, Jacobi Jupe, and Noah Jupe. The historical drama film co-written by Maggie O'Farrell, the author of the title novel this film is based on is a largely fictional story dramatizing the marriage between Anne Hathaway (Agnes Hathaway in the novel and film) and William Shakespeare, and the impact of the tragic death of their 11-year-old son Hamnet on their relationship, which inspired Shakespeare's iconic play "Hamlet." The film had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival and has been drawing tears from audiences everywhere it plays, including the Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the People's Choice Award. What did we think of it, though? Please tune in as we discuss the story, performances, cinematography, score, whether it made us as emotional as intended, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

Since it was penned more than four hundred years ago, Shakespeare's “Hamlet” has been in production nearly continuously, and has been adapted in many ways. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider why this story of a brooding young prince has continued to speak to audiences throughout the centuries. They discuss the new film “Hamnet,” directed by Chloé Zhao, which recasts the writing of “Hamlet” as Shakespeare's response to the death of his child; Tom Stoppard's absurdist play “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”; Michael Almereyda's 2000 “Hamlet,” which presents the protagonist as a melancholy film student home from college; and other adaptations. What accounts for this story's hold over audiences, centuries after it was written? “I think it endures because every generation has its version of the incomprehensible,” Cunningham says. “It's not just death—it's politics, it's society. Everybody has to deal with their own version of ‘This does not make sense and yet it is.' ”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Hamnet” (2025)“Hamnet,” by Maggie O'Farrell“Hamlet,” by William ShakespeareKenneth Branagh's “Hamlet” (1996) Michael Almereyda's “Hamlet” (2000)“Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” (1990)John Gielgud's “Hamlet” (1964)Robert Icke's “Hamlet” (2017, 2022)“Every Generation Gets the Shakespeare It Deserves” by Drew Lichtenberg (The New York Times)“Hamlet and His Problems" by T.

Hamnet, the acclaimed novel by Maggie O'Farrell, is now a major film. The story imagines the life and death of Shakespeare's son, Hamnet, whose loss would later echo through one of his most famous tragedies, Hamlet. O'Farrell joins director and co-writer Chloé Zhao to reveal how they adapted the novel for the big screen. With Jessie Buckley as Agnes and Paul Mescal as William, the film reframes the Shakespeare family story as one of deep love, rupturing grief, and artistic creation. O'Farrell and Zhao discuss developing the screenplay together, interpreting Shakespeare as a husband and father, building the film's immersive natural world, and shaping an unforgettable Globe Theatre sequence that anchors the emotional arc of the story. O'Farrell and Zhao talk about adaptation, artistry, and how a 400-year-old loss continues to inspire new ways of imagining Shakespeare's life and legacy. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.

The return of Sarah Spring!Sarah returns to the show to dissect more Shakespeare, this time we look at the most famous speech in the world, “To be, or not to be” and the brilliant dialogue between Beatrice and Benedick in Much Ado about Nothing. We look at what makes “To be, or not to be” so famous as well as so beautiful. In Act 3 Scene 1 of Hamlet, the young Danish prince tormented by the suspicious death of his father and his mother's quick remarriage to his uncle Claudius, contemplates whether to face his “sea of troubles” or remove himself from the face of the planet. Hamlet asks is it worth facing this awful situation in his family or should he take his own life and be free of the burden? Begging the question, is it worth facing our demons or do we risk flying to an “undiscovered country” that we can't return from and know nothing about in the hope it will relieve us from our torments? Special mention to Benedict Cumberbatch and his interpretation at the Barbican in 2015 which we look at in a lot of detail!Done so many different ways with actors of both genders and a multitude of life experiences, this soliloquy speaks to every human being before us, right now and for those to come. Hence why it is so famous!Sarah and I take a deep dive into the speech and find what it means to us individually and the many ways it can be interpreted. As well as the emotional connection she has to Much Ado about Nothing and why it means so much to her. Check out her socials for more information and how to get in touch!Pleasure as always Sarah thank you!Oliver GowerSpotlight Link: https://www.spotlight.com/9097-9058-5261Instagram: @ollietheuncensoredcriticFor enquiries and requests: olliegower10@gmail.comPlease Like, Download and Subscribe ✍️Thank you all for your support!Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name.

Something about November just makes it difficult to get episodes done. So re-doing, here, a Thanksgiving episode, in its way, from a few years back. This is the second Redux with it - last time was two years ago. I thought I had written about this elsewhere, but this appears to be the closest I had done: https://crisis.generationalize.com/2014/06/plague.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osarseph - A possible second view of Exodus involving a priest who became the leader of a band of lepers, who managed to ally with the Hyksos to take over Egypt for a short time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhenaten - Pharaoh of Egypt who temporarily replaced the polytheistic Egyptian religion with a monotheism based around Aten, the "sun disc."  Father of Tutankhamen, whom you may have heard of.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Hymn_to_the_Aten -Written by Akhenaten, it bears some resemblance to Psalm 104, indicating at least some cross pollination between Jewish and Egyptian holy writ.   https://thefounding.net/pilgrims-identified-israelites/ - a short essay built around Bradford http://www.gutenberg.org/files/24950/24950-h/24950-h.htm Project Gutenberg version of the History of Plymouth Colony They called Dutch a strange and uncouth language, which raises the possibility that their attitudes towards "savage" natives might have been similar in Holland… For no obvious reason, perhaps worth noting that this is contemporaneous with Hamlet, first performed around 1602.

Tim and Andrew head to Blockbuster and expound profusely on 2000's version of Hamlet. It won't help you pass the test, but it is interesting.

History has not graced us with many details about Shakespeare as a person, but we do know that he and his wife had three children, including a son named Hamnet who died at the age of 11 in 1596, four years before Shakespeare went on to write his great tragedy “Hamlet.”Maggie O'Farrell's novel “Hamnet” — one of the Book Review's 10 Best Books of 2020, and the source of Chloé Zhao's new movie of the same name — starts from those scant facts, and spins them into a powerful story of grief, art and family steeped in the textures of late-16th-century life.In this episode of the Book Review Book Club, host MJ Franklin discusses “Hamnet” with his colleagues Leah Greenblatt, Jennifer Harlan and Sarah Lyall. Other works mentioned in this podcast:“Hamlet,” “King Lear,” “Macbeth,” “The Winter's Tale,” by William Shakespeare“Little Women,” by Louisa May Alcott“Grief Is the Thing With Feathers,” by Max Porter“Lincoln in the Bardo,” by George Saunders“Fi,” by Alexandra Fuller“Things In Nature Merely Grow,” by Yiyun Li“The Accidental Tourist,” by Anne Tyler“Will in the World” and “Dark Renaissance,” by Stephen Greenblatt“Gabriel,” by Edward Hirsch“Once More We Saw Stars,” by Jayson Greene“The Dutch House,” by Ann Patchett Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Esta historia pretende acercar los paisajes y cultura de Menorca bajo el prisma de una historia universal; La obra Hamlet, escrita por William Shakespeare a comienzos del siglo XVII, es una de las tragedias más influyentes de la literatura universal. Su historia gira en torno del príncipe Hamlet de Dinamarca, cuya vida da un giro decisivo cuando el fantasma de su padre se le aparece para revelarle que fue asesinado por Claudio, hermano del rey y ahora nuevo monarca, además de esposo de la reina Gertrudis. Esta revelación desata en el protagonista un profundo conflicto interno que constituye uno de los rasgos más destacados de la obra.Uno de los elementos más notables de Hamlet es la exploración psicológica del personaje principal. Hamlet se cuestiona constantemente la justicia, la moralidad, la venganza y el sentido de la existencia. Su famoso monólogo “Ser o no ser” resume esta lucha interna y se ha convertido en un emblema del dilema humano. La obra destaca por su complejidad emocional y por la manera en que la duda paraliza a Hamlet, mostrando la tensión entre pensamiento y acción.Asimismo, la tragedia profundiza en temas como el poder, la corrupción, la traición y la apariencia frente a la realidad. Claudio representa la ambición desmedida y la hipocresía, mientras que Gertrudis aparece envuelta en la ambigüedad moral. Ofelia, víctima de las manipulaciones políticas y afectivas, simboliza la fragilidad del individuo ante fuerzas que no puede controlar.Shakespeare utiliza un lenguaje poético excepcional, cargado de metáforas, ironía y juegos de palabras, lo que enriquece la comprensión de los conflictos internos y sociales presentes en la obra. Además, la estructura teatral combina escenas de humor con momentos de profunda tragedia, creando un equilibrio que potencia el impacto dramático.En conjunto, Hamlet destaca por su retrato de la condición humana, su profundidad filosófica y su capacidad para cuestionar las certezas del espectador. Es una obra que trasciende su época y continúa siendo objeto de estudio por su riqueza literaria y su vigencia temática.

Beslutet att börja bygga de första husen fattades för 150 år sedan och var ett sätt att lösa bostadsbristen.

La littérature nous en apprend parfois beaucoup plus sur l'âme humaine et sur la gestion des situations difficiles que les meilleurs livres de management. C'est notamment le cas du célèbre monologue « être ou ne pas être » de Hamlet, qui explore le défi de l'incertitude qui peut conduire à la paralysie.

Show Notes What if Hamlet, but lions. We watched the 1994 classic The Lion King and enjoyed the emotions inherently available in animated faces that simply cannot be duplicated in “live action.” Elton John thought the movie was ruined because his beautiful song was sung by a meerkat, but joke's on him, it was a genius move.  Sometimes you gotta have a creepy little guy sing to the main characters to get them to fall in love.  Lemuel's top Godzilla Recommendations: The original Gojira from 1954 available on HBO Max and Godzilla Minus One available on Netflix - and to get an even better viewing, watch Godzilla Minus One Minus Color.  Next up: Pocahontas (1995) Email us at latecomers@gmail.com Our Facebook group is here for those who consent: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1754020081574479/ **

Episode 195 Last time I completed my review of ‘Hamlet', although it is probably wrong to say that one's thoughts on Hamlet are ever complete. I am not alone in finding that every time I see the play, and it is I think, as it is for many, the Shakespeare play I have seen most often, I find something new in it to think on. To complete this quartet of episodes on the play we have the second part of my conversation with Colin David Reese about the play and in this segment, which is much shorter than the previous conversation, we focussed on the character of Polonius, although as you will near Colin also brought in other thoughts generated by the play and his knowledge of other Shakespeare plays. I certainly was not expecting to hear about ‘The Taming of the Shrew' in the context of this conversation, but I'm glad we went there and it just illustrates how any Shakespeare conversation can lead you to all sorts of places. Before we get to Colin's thoughts, I thought I would share with you some of the views of the play and Polonius from critics and commentators from the past. This is, of course, a tiny selection given the vast amount that has been written about Hamlet, but they are pieces that I have come across and found particularly interesting. If this piques your interest in Shakespeare criticism through time I have produced a series on that very subject for members on Patreon where I traced criticism and praise for Shakespeare from the praise poems in the First Folio to the 19th century romantics.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 14, 2025 is: heyday • HAY-day • noun Heyday refers to the period of one's greatest popularity, vigor, or prosperity. It is usually used in the singular. // In its heyday, the circus was a major form of entertainment for the small town. See the entry > Examples: "In its heyday, there were more than 200 Chi-Chi's nationwide; the last restaurant closed in 2004." — Nicole Hvidsten, The Minnesota Star Tribune, 1 Oct. 2025 Did you know? The day in heyday originally had nothing to do with the kind of day that's made up of 24 hours. Heyday was first used in the first half of the 16th century as an extended form of the interjection hey, used since the 13th century to express elation or wonder, as it still often is in phrases like "hey, look at that!" The day part was most likely just an extra syllable tagged on for effect. By the end of the 16th century heyday had developed noun use with the meaning "high spirits," as when Shakespeare's Hamlet tells his mother, "You cannot call it love; for at your age / The heyday in the blood is tame …” It wasn't until the 18th century that the day syllable's resemblance to the word day likely influenced the development of the now-familiar use referring to the period when one's achievement or popularity has reached its zenith.

Episode 194: Last time I left things hanging for Hamlet as, having seen the ghost of his father and resolved on revenge, he had seen his planning go awry as he mistakenly killed the old councillor Polonius while he hid behind a wall hanging. We have seen his daughter Ophelia begin her descent into madness, school friends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern become embroiled in Hamlet's feigned madness and Claudius prompted into a desire to pray, having seen the players perform a piece that replicated his actions in the matter of his brother's murder. That quick summary in no way does the play any sort of justice so please do listen to the previous two episodes on ‘Hamlet', my look at the first half of the play and my conversation with Colin David Reese about the language in the play, if you have not done so already. I'll be here waiting for you when you get back.Continuing a summary of the play picking up from the murder of Polonius, with Hamlet leaving and dragging the body behind him.The Character of GertrudeThe female characters and the players who portrayed themThe rise of boy playing troupes reflected in ‘Hamlet'The political position of Claudius in the Danish nationThe character of Osric and his role in the playThe themes of death and decay The character and actions of HamletHamlet as a tragic heroThe graveyard sceneA brief overview of the performance history of the playSupport the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

On this episode: Actor and dialect coach Steve Corona joins Linda to pull back the curtain on the fascinating world of accents, performance, and character transformation. Steve explains how he studies and analyzes dialects—breaking them down into unique sounds, rhythms, and cadences—and how actors can integrate those nuances into authentic, believable performances. From Scottish and Irish to Texan and Turkish, Steve shares his process for “hearing” the music of a dialect and translating it into emotional truth. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories from working on major film sets with stars like Gerard Butler and Helen Mirren, offering a glimpse into the art and psychology of coaching actors under pressure. Along the way, he drops practical tools for any performer or storyteller—like using anchor phrases, shadowing native speakers, and finding emotional connection through voice. Beyond Hollywood, Steve talks about how he's taken his craft into new arenas—narrating audiobooks, helping business professionals improve their presence, and inspiring others to discover their authentic voice. About Steve: Steve Corona has always been fascinated by psychology and human behavior. Growing up as the fourth of five kids, he had plenty of personalities to study—and plenty of opportunities to perform. His natural empathy and love of storytelling became the foundation for a career built on both acting and coaching. After earning his Master's in Theatre, Steve launched his on-camera career, landing roles in film and television while also teaching dialects. A chance referral from a casting director led him to coach Gerard Butler on a major action film, sparking a new chapter as a sought-after dialect coach for A-list talent including Helen Mirren, Jason Isaacs, and Amber Midthunder. As an actor, Steve has appeared in projects spanning every genre—from Hamlet 2 and Breaking Bad to The Lone Ranger and Army of the Dead. His on-set experiences deepened his understanding of performance psychology, which he now channels through Corona Productions—where he helps professionals master communication, presence, and storytelling on stage, on camera, and in life.

The end is here! Well, the end of season 5 at least. That's right, after over twelve months the season is finally over (making it, I think, the longest season of The Film Scorer yet), and what better wait to celebrate than to chat with Max Richter? Max's (Ad Astra, The Leftovers) latest score is for the incredible historical drama Hamnet, a fictionalized account of the death of William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes's son Hamnet and how it inspired the creation of Hamlet. Unsurprisingly, we spend most of our conversation on Hamnet, but despite the quick interview we manage to cover a lot of other ground too, such as the use of "On the Nature of Daylight" over the years, the troubled production of Ad Astra, and how a musician's intent goes only so far once their music reaches an audience. Max's score for Hamnet is forthcoming (though having heard an advance version, I can vouch that it's great) and the rest of his music is available on all major platforms. You can find out more about Max on his website. In addition to Hamnet's pending release, Max just announced some 2026 tour dates.

We taught Hamlet and Ophelia all about soundboards while they taught us all about the mortality of their characters! Taz Whaley and Harley Dauma joined us this week to talk all about their roles and experiences in UNA's production of Hamlet Abridged. Lets all cheer for this episode actually being up on time and not be riddled with a ton of issues. Give a big thumbs up in the comment section for this awesome work!

Creativity through the lens of a singer/songwriter"Creativity, it's all about your imagination"Tom Ciurczak (Sir-Zak) offers up an infectious blend of energetic rhythms, danceable beats and powerful storytelling lyrics that make you think you are listening to a crossbreed of Bruce Springsteen, Warren Zevon and Steve Earle, complete with Eagles-esque harmonies and hook-laden Eric Clapton style guitar work. Tom learned, early on, about music's complex and distinct sounds and rhythms as well as the imagery that great storytelling can evoke.  In his mid 20's, Tom moved to the West Coast where he soon found work in the Specialty Lighting industry. Marriage and 2 young children meant putting his musical ambitions on hold, although he continued to write songs almost daily as he traveled the world to seek out the newest innovations in lighting. His career established him as an outstanding businessman, as he built three very successful Specialty Lighting Companies: Osram, Ushio and his own company, BLC International. Through it all, he continued to hear the siren's song as songwriting provided the creative outlet in his life.  Things changed in 2014, when Tom decided to dust off his prodigious arsenal of songs and put them to the test. When he attended recording artist Steve Earle's Songwriters Master Class and Retreat, he knew that he had found his people. From there, he turbo-charged his songs, taking them to a whole new level.  On June 26th 2025 the Album YORICK was released, highlighted by the title track Yorick based on a character from Shakespeare's Hamlet. It also included critically acclaimed singles, The Watcher and On Top Of The Rainbow.Tom performs regularly at music venues throughout Southern California to promote his own brand of Heartland Rock.  Singer/songwriter/recording artist Tom Ciurczak is proof that, once lit, the musical spark never dies – it's just waiting for the right time to blaze its magic.www.tomciurczak.comhttps://music.apple.com/us/artist/tom-ciurczak/1523602233https://open.spotify.com/artist/4kSCXkEUWwUq5ykqyEf1Dnhttps://www.instagram.com/tokyotommy58/https://www.youtube.com/@tomciurczak8782Tom Ciurczak Band: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092202082226Tom Ciurczak: https://www.facebook.com/tom.ciurczakSend us a text

Episode 193For today's guest episode it is a very welcome return to the podcast for Colin David Reese, who I last spoke to in early 2023, when we discussed his play ‘Shakespeare Unbound: A Gift to the Future' and Shakespeare in general. If you missed those episodes you will find them as part of season five, first released in February and April 2023.On this occasion I asked Colin to discuss Shakespeare's use of language, with particular reference to Hamlet, and how that language is used to create character. Colin goes in some depth into two of Hamlet's most famous speeches from the play, so, although it is not essential you might find it useful to have a copy of the speeches to hand to follow along. You will need ‘To be or not to be', from Act three scene one and ‘O what a rogue and peasant slave am I' from act two scene two. We also spoke about the differences between the quarto and folio versions of the play with examples of the language from them, and as this have become a long, but very richly detailed episode, I have split it into two and will share the part dealing with characterisation and particularly Polonius after my second episode discussing the play.Colin David Reese has not only a lifetime of acting experience behind him, but a lifetime of Shakespeare study too. That started in his family life where his actor father had a Shakespeare quote for every occasion and continued with his first professional engagement when aged twelve, he played Shakespeare's illegitimate son. Along with his many acting roles he has run his own acting company and undertaken in depth study of Shakespeare and the Commedia Dell'arteLink to RSC To Be Or Not to Be sketch on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEs8rK5Cqt8Link to Colin's website: https://shakespeareunbound.orgSupport the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

In Versailles with Kids & the Grand Ball: A Magical Family Adventure, host Annie Sargent talks with Katie Danger, an American mom who has lived in Versailles for more than a decade. Katie knows the palace and its surroundings inside and out — and she shares all her best tips for families who want to enjoy this iconic destination without the stress. Listen to this episode ad-free Together, Annie and Katie explore how to make Versailles fun and manageable with children. They talk about stroller-friendly paths, when to visit to avoid crowds, and why the gardens are often a better choice for kids than the formal palace rooms. Katie recommends favorite picnic spots, like near the Grand Canal or the Queen's Hamlet, where families can relax and feel the magic of French history in a natural setting. The conversation also touches on local life in Versailles — the lively markets, neighborhood cafés, and parks that most tourists miss. Katie shares practical advice about buying tickets, timing your visit, and how to add a touch of sparkle by attending the Grand Ball of Versailles, one of the most extravagant costume events in France. If you're planning a family trip to Versailles, this episode is packed with insider ideas to make it both educational and enjoyable. You'll come away inspired to slow down, explore beyond the palace walls, and experience Versailles like a local.

This is a very special episode because we are joined by good friend of the show Rob Lloyd for the first time this year to discuss a Shakespearean-ish comedy by playwright Tom Stoppard. It's called Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, and presents an alternative version of Hamlet from the perspective of two minor characters, played by Gary Oldman and Tim Roth.Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow Rob Lloyd!Shakespeare's Fool tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/shakespeares-fool-tickets-1568799855599Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/roblloydactor/Twitter: https://twitter.com/futurerobbyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/futurerobby/Follow the show!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldiebutagoodiepod/Facebook: https://fb.me/oldiebutagoodiepodPodcast Platforms: https://linktr.ee/oldiebutagoodiepodGot feedback?

In this episode we do our best to dissect the question: Why is horror so wildly popular in media as a whole but disproportionately underrepresented in fanfiction? We also explore what makes horror so beloved as a genre in the first place, diving into horror as parable, subversion of expectations, catharsis, social and moral commentary, response to global crisis, queer allegory, and more. 

Are you watching Blue Lights? If not, why not? On this episode is one of the stars of the Belfast-based cop drama. She's a star of stage and screen at the peak of her acting prowess.

If you're really lucky you may have even seen her break-out theatre role as Ophelia in Hamlet at London's Barbican. Sian rarely does podcast interviews - so what an honour to share a couple of glasses of wine and a really lovely chat about the confidence gained from early drama classes, the women who've reached down to help her on her journey, and the illness that nearly ended her career before it really began.

Long before Shakespeare became a household name, there was Richard Burbage. As the first actor to play Hamlet, Macbeth, Richard III, and King Lear, Burbage helped define what it meant to be a Shakespearean actor. A commanding performer, he became one of early modern England's first celebrities—celebrated for his emotional power and versatility, as well as his entrepreneurial savvy as an early theater owner. In her new book "Richard Burbage and the Shakespearean Stage: A ‘Delightful Proteus,'" scholar Siobhan Keenan explores the actor's remarkable career and his pivotal partnership with Shakespeare. Together, they transformed the English stage. Siobhan Keenan is Professor of Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature at De Montfort University, UK, and the author of several books on early modern theatre history and performance culture, including Richard Burbage and the Shakespearean Stage: A ‘Delightful Proteus' (2025), The Progresses, Processions and Royal Entries of King Charles I, 1625-1642 (2020), Acting Companies and their Plays in Shakespeare's London (The Arden Shakespeare, 2014), and Travelling Players in Shakespeare's England (2002).

This week, a nostalgic Cancer Last Quarter Moon is a time to reflect on what we've accomplished in our recent New Moon goals. Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, glides into her elegant home sign of Libra, and promptly meets up with idealistic Neptune, unpredictable Uranus, and probing Pluto. Power issues rise to the surface as Pluto stations direct. The Sun and Jupiter bring a fresh start, but might bring up conflicts in all types of relationships. Words can get a little hurtful as Mercury and Mars come together in Scorpio. And a listener question about houses in the horoscope that are ruled by the same planet - how are they connected? Plus: Calming tea, an autumn leaf, and a trip to Disneyland. Read a full transcript of this episode. It's eclipse season! Order your copy of my “Followed by a Moonshadow” eclipse report!

Timestamps: [01:44] Moon Report: Cancer Last Quarter Moon (Mon., Oct. 13, 11:13 am PDT, 20º39' Cancer-Libra). Reflect on what you've built since September's Virgo Solar Eclipse. Balance your personal spotlight (“A prima donna singing”) with collective harmony (“A crowd upon the beach”). [04:05] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC) Connects back to the July 17, 2023, New Moon in Cancer — a long-term story about power, control, and emotional authenticity, with peaks at the First Quarter Moon on April 15, 2024, and Full Moon on Jan. 13, 2025. [06:02] Void-of-Course Moons. Mon., Oct. 13, Moon in Cancer trines Saturn at 10:05 pm PDT. It's VOC for 5 hours 42 minutes, then enters Leo on Tues. Oct. 14 at 3:47 am.

A reality check — do what you can, then let go. [09:31] Venus enters Libra (Mon., Oct. 13, 2:19 pm PDT, until Nov. 6). Venus in Libra delights in beauty, grace, and harmony — but expects manners and mutual respect. It's a time for refinement, art, music, and creating peaceful surroundings. [10:56] Venus opposes Neptune (Mon., Oct. 13, 6:16 pm PDT, 0º12' Libra-Aries). Beautiful illusions or confusing emotions? This transit heightens creativity and longing. Lean into art and inspiration, but beware of wishful thinking in love or finances. [12:52] Pluto stations Direct (Mon., Oct. 13, 7:52 pm PDT) at 1° Aquarius on the Sabian symbol “An unexpected thunderstorm,” an awakening to change and empowerment. With Venus and Uranus in the mix, expect surprising revelations and renewal. Pluto has been retrograde since May 4. [14:33] Venus trines Uranus (Tue., Oct. 14, 7:09 am PDT, 0º52' Libra-Gemini). Fresh energy in relationships, art, and finances — and maybe a glimpse beneath the surface.

[21:12] Mercury conjunct Mars (Sun., Oct. 19, 11:51 pm PDT, 19º11' Scorpio). Sharp minds and sharper tongues. Productive for research and problem-solving, but watch out for heated words. Speak with care and precision. Sabian symbol: 20 Scorpio, A woman drawing two dark curtains aside. [23:02] Listener Question: Houses with the same ruler. Listener Michelle asks how life areas ruled by the same planet connect in the birth chart.
