The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From November 2025. Today's 2 topics: - Throughout history small close approaching space rocks have been a part of our environment. Now, thanks to improved telescopes and cameras, asteroid hunters are routinely discovering these small asteroids as they pass closer than the Moon is to us. Since these tiny asteroids are only bright enough to detect for a few days out of their long, many month duration paths about the Sun, astronomers have had difficulty in determining how many of these small space rocks may exist in near Earth space. This effort received more emphasis when a house sized space rock exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013 releasing about 10 times the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. - Jupiter has been observed throughout human history and is so bright that you can even spot it under the artificial light dome of one of our cities. Even so it is less than 40 years ago that we were first able to view Jupiter in detail as the Voyagers streaked by it. Jupiter contains more than twice the mass of all of the other planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets in our solar system combined. Eons ago, our solar systems very own giant planet, Jupiter, appears to have cleared out the inner solar system leaving enough rocky debris to form Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

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.

Full Moon in Aquarius: A Unique ViewWhat I really like about Astrology are the clues this unique guidance system provides for daily life pointers, insight, and direction. Aquarius is said to be the sign of Astrology. The recent Full Moon in Aquarius occurred on July 29th at 6 degrees, though the effects will continue to be felt as the Moon energy connects with the Solar Eclipse in Leo around August 12. This is a sensational opportunity to “meet and greet others, and start the process of remembering who you are”. This is a great time to promote social groups and friendly encounters. During this Moon, people are eager to talk and exchange mutually beneficial thoughts and ideas.Saying Yes to Yourself: Remembering Who You areAre you ready and willing to trust that your vision, in some important area of your life, is calling you forward, and wants to be expressed through you? Aquarius is the sign of "Cosmic Consciousness". This means through the faculty of intuition each person has the ability to see and understand the future. The way this deep awareness occurs, is that you have to be willing to say "yes" to the most authentic version of yourself. Remembering who you are from the inside out.Saying yes to yourself means turning from all of the "naysayers" about who and what you are suppose to be or do. This is definitely a tall order, because we have been socialize to belief others outside of ourselves know more or better than we do about who we are. As indicated previously, trusting that you are enough, and acknowledging that how you see things may very well be different, but is no less viable than someone else's view of life.Every chart has its Uranus“Genius Zone” the planet guiding Aquarius. Find the Aquarius area(s) in your chart and draw a circle around the house cusps.What house(s) offers you space for your new vision and purpose through connecting with Aquarius?How do you feel the vital energy that's moving you toward your unique direction, and helping to break free from the mind “chains” .What gift, ability and/or talent are asking to be brought forth?In the sign of the “water-carrier” there's excitement in the air. As an air sign, Aquarius represents collective group awareness, in particular trends, mass movement and major societal changes. One major topic that heads the list of Aquarian concerns are questions of humanitarianism, a massive global dilemma affecting every country in the world. Check out the kinds of subjects that are trending on social media. Aquarius is ruled by the planet of “sudden and often disrupting happenings”, Uranus is also known as the sign of technology, specifically the Internet. Uranus co-ruler/guide with Saturn is currently in Gemini. This is a powerful placement because Gemini is aligned with communication, and Aquarius is connected with technology and revolutionary change. As you look around, the current "buzz" is fixated on AI, and yet the most powerful expression of technology is possessed by every being on the planet. The difficulty is that people have forgotten that we are the power... so the real technological revolution is when people start remembering who we are.In many ways, Aquarius is the messenger that is asking everyone, as part of the collective whole, to consider what she or he is willing to contribute toward a new and more just world vision, which includes all people? This is part of the remembering process that humanity is undergoing. Aquarius is an upfront sign. Its signature is about doing things differently from what has been done in the past. Much of the social, economic, and overall planetary upheaval has to do with the collective group acknowledging what is not viable, and how the “old order” has disavowed the differences and diversity of the branches on the“human tree”. Yes, the human tree. The designation of people by skin color groups, gender status, religious affiliations, socioeconomic worth, lineage, ancestors,nationality, etc, are used to keep from seeing our shared humanity. Seeing these categorizations for what they are, is part of the "remembering process"Where in your life are you experiencing the need to make major changes? At the same time, how and what can you contribute to the group effort to shift the world's energy toward more light, and real positive direction? What do you need personally, to feel comfortable,supported and nurtured in stepping out to share your unique visions and ideas?Aquarius as a fixed sign brings focus and often a single-minded direction to your life. This moon time offers a time of clarity, new ideas and inspiration.From planetary and natural world perspective, this is the “in between, liminal” space. Aquarius is the sign of the "Seer".This is a time that feels like a need to hide away, yet it can be truly empowering if you accept your “Aquarian Calling” and claim your special place in life. In essence, we each have to be willing to embrace self-love through “being totally enough” This Full Moon is shining on you, and your unique view. Is there something that you've been toying with for awhile? It's time to go for it ! Perhaps people around you may look at you with raised eyebrows, but there are others who are ready for the changes that you are offering, and are in full support of your vision(s)! Even though there are many topics and subjects that are weighty, and perplexing, connecting with others in a fun and enjoyable way makes everything easier. The summer Sun is sitting in Leo with support from Jupiter also in Leo, which in astrological terms is in the opposing position to Aquarius. Even though these signs are sitting opposite one another, I actually see them working together as complements. Leo calls for being in the spotlight of your own radiant self-knowing. One way to use this astrological partnering is for social connection and to have fun, where people can communicate and enjoy each other's company. When we play together, we create more “heart space”. With more “heart vision”, we can hear one another better, and see our way with more understanding, clarity, and wisdom. Embrace Your Freedom that's Waiting for You. Let's have an Astrology Conversation. I look forward to seeing you.

In today's episode I'm joined by Yvette Mayer (HD Transits Expert) and Lauren Hansen (Resident Astrologer) for the August energy update, and the whole month turns on one question: who are you building it with? In Human Design we move out of the throat-centre gates and into the quarter of duality, so the focus shifts off what you're making and onto your relationships. In astrology it lands from the same direction, with Venus moving home into Libra and Mars dropping into Cancer. It's a relational, reflective and at times emotional month, with two eclipses reshaping who's in your corner. The gates and dates we cover are listed below, so you can check them against your own chart.KEY DATES FOR AUGUSTAstrology (with Lauren)23 Jul: Mercury stations direct, carrying easier communication into August.Late Jul into early Aug: Venus square Mars (Venus in Virgo, Mars in Gemini), over-stimulation and a pull toward discernment, quality over quantity.6 Aug to 9 Sep: Venus at home in Libra, collaboration, harmony and easier relating.6 to 11 Aug: Venus trine Uranus and Pluto, opposite Neptune. Surprising new people and real chemistry, with a reminder to check the details before you idealise anyone.11 Aug to 28 Sep: Mars in Cancer, driven by what and who you care about, protective of home and family, with a passive-aggression risk to watch.12 Aug: Leo solar eclipse (new moon) with the south node and Jupiter. Confidence, creativity and identity, letting go of an old way of leading to grow into the next.15 Aug: Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Leo, a strong day for announcements, pitching, launching and sharing your voice.19 to 22 Aug: Venus opposite Saturn in Aries, defining relationships, setting boundaries and keeping what lasts.23 to 29 Aug: Sun square Uranus, restlessness and aha moments, so ground yourself before any big impulsive calls.28 Aug (AUS): Pisces lunar eclipse (full moon) near the north node, squared by Uranus. Big emotions, with surrender and boundaries needed at once.Human Design (with Yvette)Throughout August: Gates 30 and 41 (root centre and solar plexus), fantasy and quantum possibility, grounding what is possible into reality.Throughout August: Gate 33 moving into Jupiter, reflective, looking-back and storytelling energy.First half, around 11 to 12 Aug: Gate 7 (leadership by invitation) with Gate 29 in the south node (commitment, and what to release).Mid month: Gate 4 in the ajna, creative problem solving and spotting your patterns.Late Aug: Gate 59 (intimacy and trust built over time) with Gate 57 through Venus (intuition and instinct).End of month: Gate 40 (boundaries and discernment) and Gates 39 and 55 turning on (the channel of emoting).I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxLauren's Details:Website: https://www.astrobetch.comInstagram & TikTok: @astrobetchYvette's Details:Website: https://www.yvettemayer.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yvettemayer_YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@humandesignformarketingFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/humandesign4marketingPodcast: https://www.yvettemayer.com/podcastBodyGraph Chart SoftwareCreate your own Human Design chart tool with BodyGraphChart!

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
https://spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2608/a-blazing-hot-world-with-a-buzzing-secret/ Hosted by our editor, Richard Drumm. Far, far away from Earth, over 300 light-years away, is an incredible exoplanet called WASP-189b, in the constellation Libra, the scales. It lies a bit to the NW of Beta Librae, or Zubeneschamali, and almost exactly due north of the Libra star with my favorite star name: Zubenelgenubi! WASP-189 is the star & 189b is the planet. It has about twice Jupiter's mass and about 1 1/2 times its diameter. It orbits its star in 2 days & 17 hours, so it's really close in! But this isn't just any old planet. 189b is a giant, blazing-hot world with a secret that has astronomers buzzing with excitement! Ah, that's where the buzzing in the title comes from!

Venus moves into Virgo at the beginning of August, following its conjunction with Ketu in Leo, the South Node and ‘remover of obstacles'. Yet Ketu can also remove things we would prefer to hold onto. In the end, whether of this life or a chapter within it, we must let it all go if we are to evolve. The Ketu part shows where we might hold on, or revert back to something familiar, while Rahu, the North Node, points us forward to where we must try something new. As we have seen in recent weeks, wars have ramped up, reflected in Venus' conjunction with Ketu. Venus' ingress into Virgo, a sign it's fallen in, does not bode well for peace in the more immediate timeframe. The mood is likely to dip, and things you would usually appreciate may lessen in your eyes somewhat. Venus does not have the support of Mercury in Virgo, which, following its retrograde in July, slowly returns to Cancer in August, where Jupiter remains exalted.Venus is opposite Saturn and squared by Mars while in Virgo. With Venus under such scrutiny, it would be far too easy to complain about whatever Venus represents for you. Generally, we're all likely to complain about the lack of accord and goodwill in the world.The concerns are also likely economic, as well as diplomatic. Diplomatic failure may trigger economic issues, of course.Jupiter offers hope that all may yet be well, despite the challenges ahead. However, Jupiter is combust in August as the Sun moves through Cancer, making it difficult to see the results we are hoping for. This is where faith becomes important. We must have faith in the process, even when progress is not immediately visible.An uprising or revolutionary movement may struggle to gain traction or make a meaningful impact on entrenched systems, as Jupiter continues to oppose Pluto in Capricorn. Positive changes (Jupiter in Cancer) you know you must make may not be as easy to implement when there's so much else to adjust to.The biggest adjustment we must make is the eclipses in Cancer and Aquarius. Time can feel warped and events more fated. The positive vibes will return in September, so use August to be open to the change that must happen.Jupiter continues to aspect Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, so this can bring more of a sense of what's the right thing to do, despite Saturn's and Neptune's retrograde in the depths of possibility, asking us all to keep an open mind about eventual outcomes.Whatever form the astrological weather takes for you in August, hold firm to whatever gives you a sense of meaning, while remaining realistic about the issues that must be addressed.
Send us Fan MailIn this episode I speak about the Sun conjunct Jupiter in Leo, a full Moon in Aquarius, and how to use this cosmic energy to bring people together. It is a time of expanding to the SUPER MIND...and beyond. Venus is also squaring Mars during all of this- so you have your test before you- can you learn how to get along? I think you can! Especially if you can discover your funny bone.

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.

In April, engineers had to shut down one of the scientific instruments aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft. The device had been studying charged particles in the interstellar medium – the space between the stars. But Voyager is slowly losing power, so the instrument was shut down to help extend the craft’s life. Voyager 1 is the most-distant object ever sent into space – 16 billion miles from Earth. At that range, it takes almost 24 hours for its radio transmissions to reach Earth. The craft and its twin, Voyager 2, were launched in the summer of 1977. Their mission was to study the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 continued on to Uranus and Neptune. Since then, both craft have just kept on going. In 2012, Voyager 1 became the first craft to leave the solar system. It passed outside the magnetic “bubble” generated by the Sun. Voyager 2 followed in 2018. Both Voyagers are powered by the radioactive decay of plutonium. Today, that generates less than half as much energy as it did at launch. So as the power levels have dropped, engineers have shut off most of the scientific instruments. Two instruments are still going on Voyager 1 – studying the space between the stars. In 300,000 years, the craft is expected to fly about one light-year from a small, faint star that’s 47 light-years away – a dead emissary from the people of Earth. Script by Damond Benningfield
Welcome to Messages from the Universe. I'm Laurie Wondra, and August brings one of the most powerful energetic periods of 2026—a month of activation, opportunity, and conscious transformation. Numerologically, August carries the energy of the 8, inviting us into greater personal empowerment, balance, abundance, and authentic leadership. Combined with the collective 1 Universal Year, this is a time to step confidently into new beginnings while creating a strong foundation for the future.This month features several significant celestial events. The Lion's Gate Portal, peaking on August 8, encourages expanded awareness, heart-centered living, and a deeper connection with your soul's purpose. The Solar Eclipse on August 12 opens the door to fresh beginnings and courageous choices, while the Lunar Eclipse on August 28 helps us release what no longer serves our highest good. Alongside these eclipses, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune continue shaping the balance between inspiration, personal growth, and practical action.In this episode, we'll explore these energies, discuss how to work with them in your daily life, and finish with guidance for each zodiac sign. Wherever you are on your journey, August invites you to trust your intuition, embrace meaningful change, and remember that your greatest transformation begins with the choices you make today.Send us Fan MailSupport the showThanks for listening - For questions or comments email Laurie at Laurie@yourlifecore.comInstagram @yourlifecore or Twitter @yourlifecore Facebook https://www.facebook.com/YourLifecoreWebsite www.yourlifecore.com

The Cosmic Basket continues to illuminate our path this week as the radiant Sun in its home sign of Leo activates this extraordinary planetary pattern. Through its dynamic relationship with Pluto and harmonious connections to Uranus and Neptune, the Sun shines a brilliant light on our personal growth, creative potential, and the profound transformation unfolding both within and around us. Midweek, the Sun joins Jupiter in their annual celebration of optimism, abundance, and possibility, encouraging us to expand our vision and embrace the next chapter with courage and confidence. As the week unfolds, a powerful Full Moon in Aquarius brings the Sun and Jupiter into opposition with the Moon and Pluto, creating an extraordinary opportunity to set intentions, release old limitations, and step more fully into the person you are becoming. This Full Moon also serves as the gateway to the upcoming eclipse season, as the Nodes of Destiny have shifted into Aquarius and Leo, signaling the beginning of a new evolutionary story that will unfold over the months ahead. Join me on this week's episode of The Golden Astrologer Podcast as we explore this remarkable cosmic turning point and discover how to consciously work with the transformative energies guiding us toward the future.
Sometimes the hardest person to be honest with is ourselves. In this episode I explore why we cling so tightly to the stories we've created about love, success and spirituality, and why gratitude is not simply something we feel but something we practice. I speak about non-dualism, the Bhagavad Gita, Ram Dass, Hermetic philosophy and why loving another person is ultimately an invitation to become more of who we truly are. We also look at why life doesn't give us what we want, rather it gives us the lessons that shape us into the person capable of receiving it. Finally, I unpack the Aquarius Full Moon conjunct Pluto opposite the Sun and Jupiter in Leo, and what it reveals about individuality, society, projection and the courage it takes to become yourself. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – IIntroductions & catching up 03:21 – Why do we do what we do 05:28 – Gratitude is a verb 11:11 – Love is our greatest teacher 19:29 – You can't build a relationship who is ot ready for a relationship 25:09 - The main law of life 31:59 - Full Moon in Leo 37:29 - Growing Pains as you enter a Better Life
The Moon reaches its brightest in sidereal Capricorn on July 29 at 15.35 BST/ 10.35 EDT, conjunct Pluto and opposite an exalted but combust Jupiter in Cancer. This Full Moon may bring resolution and mark a significant turning point.It occurs in Śravaṇa, the lunar mansion associated with listening and tradition. This is a time to tune in and hear what matters, as Saturn, Capricorn's ruler, begins to backtrack. Ruled by Viṣṇu, Śravaṇa seeks balance and harmony, although this must sometimes be restored through major events that require more adjustments.Globally, tensions may emerge between the profound changes underway and how leaders respond. Important steps are likely to be taken, which will affect the world in various ways. This Full Moon also coincides with Guru Pūrṇimā, a Vedic festival honouring teachers and commemorating the birth of Sage Veda Vyāsa. This year's observance is especially significant, as Jupiter (Guru) is exalted directly opposite the Full Moon.It is a powerful time to reconnect with teachers and teachings that clarify what is right and true, inspiring us to act for the good of all. Emotions may run high as we dig beneath the surface and listen for the deeper truth.
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!

First Harvest at the ThresholdWe have been building toward this week for a month. Three great cycles named and tracked. Jupiter weaving through all three. The Sun following. This week they culminate, not in abstract outer planet contacts alone, but in the most personal luminaries available. The Sun and Moon activating all three great cycles simultaneously at Wednesday's Full Moon.And at the end of the week, the ancient Celtic festival of Lammas arrives, the first harvest. The earth's own wisdom confirming what the sky is saying. Something has been growing. It is time to begin gathering what it has produced.Key Cycles This Week:Monday, July 27: Sun in Leo trines Neptune in Aries and sextiles Uranus in Gemini. Lunar Nodes change signs: North Node enters Aquarius, South Node enters Leo.The Sun opens the week touching two of the three great cycles in flowing alignment. Vision becoming feelable. Sudden clarity about what is genuinely new in how you understand yourself and the world.On the same day the Lunar Nodes shift, an eighteen-month change in the direction of collective evolution. North Node in Aquarius calls the collective toward genuine community, collective intelligence, and the kind of power that arises from interconnection rather than concentrated authority. With Pluto already moving through Aquarius, the North Node arriving here deepens and confirms that direction.South Node in Leo asks what we are integrating and moving beyond, not Leo's genuine gifts of authentic creative expression and open-hearted generosity, but its shadow. The over-reliance on individual performance. The hunger for recognition that substitutes for genuine contribution. The leadership organized around the singular charismatic figure rather than the nourishment of the collective field. Where have I been performing rather than genuinely contributing? That is the South Node question.Wednesday, July 29: Venus in Virgo squares Mars in Gemini. Full Moon at 6 degrees of Aquarius conjunct Pluto, opposing Jupiter in Leo, sextile Neptune in Aries, trine Uranus in Gemini. Venus in Virgo's careful tending meets Mars in Gemini's speed and variety in friction. There may be tension between what you need in order to feel genuinely attended to and what the pace of the moment is actually offering. Name that honestly rather than adapting around it.And then the Full Moon, the culmination of everything this arc has been building toward. The luminaries activating all three great cycles simultaneously. Conjunct Pluto in Aquarius: what is ready to be released and transformed at the root, not only personally but collectively; what systems and inherited structures of power are ready to be genuinely transformed? Sextile Neptune: vision and inspiration present alongside the reckoning, the imaginal field open to what genuinely new collective life might look like. Trine Uranus in Gemini: something that has been building for weeks finds its moment of sudden clear arrival.The Full Moon falling on the newly activated nodal axis, North Node in Aquarius, South Node in Leo, the luminaries holding the direction of collective evolution in their light. This is not only an ending. It is a revelation. Pay attention to what you see. And ask honestly how what is being illuminated wants to be offered in service of the larger web rather than the personal story.Saturday, August 1: Lammas. In the ancient Celtic tradition, Lammas is the festival of first harvest, the midpoint between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox, when the first fruits of the growing season are ready to be gathered. The body knows this threshold even when the mind has forgotten it.The particular quality of this Lammas, held within the nodal shift toward Aquarius, asks a specific question. Not only what has ripened in you, but what has ripened that belongs to the larger field. The first harvest in earth-based tradition was never only personal abundance. It was shared. Brought to the community. Offered in gratitude to the web of life that made the growing possible.Name what has ripened. Hold it with gratitude. And begin asking how it wants to be offered as genuine contribution to the larger web.Larger FrameThe direction confirmed this week is toward Aquarius. Toward genuine community. Toward the collective intelligence that arises when individual gifts are offered in service of the whole rather than hoarded for personal recognition.The breakdown of dominator systems continues. The reckoning is not complete. But something has moved, in you, in the collective field, in the long arc of what is being born. An elder perspective does not require the completion of the transformation to recognize the reality of the harvest.Name what has ripened. Ask how it wants to serve. Trust the arc, even from inside it, even when its end is not yet visible.Reflection QuestionsAs the Lunar Nodes shift into Aquarius and Leo, where is the invitation to move from performing your gifts toward genuinely offering them in service of something larger than the personal story?What is the Full Moon illuminating that has been quietly present but not yet fully seen?At Lammas, what is the first fruit of your own long growing during this threshold time, and how does it want to be shared rather than kept?Podcast poem: For the Artist at the Start of the Day by John O'DonohueIf 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 my 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.

A Full Moon in Aquarius lands on Wednesday 29 July, and it's sitting directly opposite the Sun meeting Jupiter in Leo, which is the once-a-year biggest expansion day in the calendar. Same day, same axis. Which changes what the week is actually asking of you. This is THE HANDOVER. The biggest opening of the year is genuinely on the table, and it's directly opposite something you're gripping. You can't take it with your hands full. Monday is the dress rehearsal, when the Sun runs into Pluto and shows you what's actually in your hands before Wednesday asks you to let go of it. Tuesday you work out what fills the gap, because the reason people don't let go isn't that they want to keep the thing, it's that they've got no plan for the hole it leaves. Wednesday you make the exchange. Then the sky empties out for three days so the thing can land. Inside this episode: Why Monday's friction is information, not the week going wrong The tell that shows you exactly what you're gripping (it's defensiveness) How to price the thing before you trade it, because you can't make a trade with one side unpriced Why Thursday is when people quietly take it back Your element briefing: fire, air, earth and water each have a different job this week The card pull, and why you're guarding a win rather than a burden This is the most lopsided week in months. Two days matter. Protect those, and let the rest be light. The question to carry: what am I holding onto that I'd have to put down to take the bigger thing? Chart-based operations for founders.

In this podcast, we talk about Guru Purnima and the relationship between the guru and the soul. Guru Purnima occurs every year... but THIS YEAR, Jupiter will be in the exact degree as the Sun. For some, there can be spiritual confusion. However, it can also be time of profound insight and awakening. This is a powerful time to honor our teachers, connect with the guru within, and reflect on the wisdom guiding our path.We also discuss Saturn retrograde and how this transit may take us on spiritual journeys, deepen our spiritual practice, and bring awareness to our commitments. Saturn may also bring karmic lessons to the surface... Not to punish us, but to help us gain the wisdom and maturity needed to move forward.Mars in Gemini creates intensity around travel, communication, media, and the United States. As we move toward eclipse season, things may feel increasingly unpredictable. Eclipse energy can rock the boat for world leaders while highlighting themes connected to the homeland, security, and national identity.Finally, we talk about Venus debilitated in Virgo while receiving the influence of both Saturn and Mars. This can create intensity around love, relationships, finances, creativity, and self-worth. Venus in Virgo may become perfectionistic, critical, or overly focused on what needs to be fixed. However, we can lean into the positive qualities of this transit by practicing discernment, tending carefully to what we love, and using our awareness to create meaningful healing.Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we invite our friend Julian the Philosopher back on the show to discuss the mythic source material from which Christopher Nolan's new film is based: The Odyssey. We discuss not just Nolan's new film, but Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, quite a bit of the historical context around these works of epic poetry, how these stories were thought of initially, criticized by Plato, recontextualized by Virgil, translated countless times and transformed into Nolan's new blockbuster film. As part of our larger conversation, we discuss the dichotomy between the Homeric hero and the Platonic Hero of the mind, considering how each incarnation of the story fits into this framework or not.

Two hot Jupiters presented at the 248th American Astronomical Society meeting push our understanding of exoplanet atmospheres to the extreme. Research Scientist Tiffany Kataria from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory shares new JWST observations of HD80606 b, the "Roasted Planet,”a gas giant on one of the most eccentric orbits ever discovered. Assistant Professor Lisa Dang of the University of Waterloo joins to discuss CoRoT-2 b, a young, inflated hot Jupiter whose hottest point shows up in an unexpected location on the exoplanet, possibly because the planet hasn't fully tidally locked with its star yet. Then Chief Scientist Bruce Betts joins for What's Up to explore atmospheric super-rotation, winds that outrun the worlds they ride on.

Welcome back to MU! In our continuation of Emanuel Swedenborg's works, he claims that for years he spoke with spirits from Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, the Moon, and even worlds beyond our solar system. We follow his incredible cosmic travelogue, exploring how each civilization lives, worships, and contributes its own unique role in what he called the "Universal Human"...his vision of a living, inhabited universe, unlike anything else written in the 18th century. Welcome to your Plus Extension and thank you for joining us on Plus+! Today we happen upon some freaky happenings on, in, and around the strange area of a ceremonial county in Northwest England known as Lancashire. The Woo Woo concentrated in the area was enough for Author Terrence W. Witaker to fill a book with. This charming 1980 release is populated with priest holes, stacks of murders and therefore stacks of ghosts, unscrupulous Boggarts and, of course, screaming skulls that come included with the purchase of your new manor.
