Episode 143: Surfing the Wobble Board: Eclipse Portals & Emotional Tsunamis If last week felt like a "mild emotional tsunami," you aren't alone. Between the Lunar New Year, a once-in-36-years Saturn/Neptune alignment, and the ongoing eclipse portal, the energy is heavy, weird, and deeply dysregulating. In this episode, we talk about why February 2026 is one of the roughest astrological stretches of the year—and no, it's not the Year of the Fire Horse yet! We are in a fated moment of transformation meant to upend us. The goal this week? Hunker down, stay in your body, and keep the "doing" to a bare minimum. This Week's Survival Strategy Get on the Mat: Aim for 2–4 sessions. With zero planets in Earth signs, physical movement is your only exit ramp from the anxiety spiral. Double Check Everything: Mercury stations Retrograde this week. Expect "Systems Down" energy—tech glitches, schedule snafus, and communication hiccups. Embrace the "Pillow Fort": Friday brings deep emotional healing and potential "owie" moments with Mars square Uranus. Soften your edges. Mentoring Lite: Applications are now open for this transformative 6-month support container. Only 33 spots available. Daily Energy Forecast Mo(o)nday, Feb 23: The "wonky" portal continues. Remember: we can't control the storm; we can only weather it. Wednesday, Feb 25: UWS Workout: Fluid Solutions. Focus on spiritual hygiene—don't let the muck get stuck in your field. Thursday, Feb 26: Mercury Stations Retrograde. The universe asks: "Were you listening during the shadow phase?" Practice discernment over perfection. Friday, Feb 27: The Deep Heal. North Node squares Chiron. Expect tears and core-wound processing. It's "Goddess Day"—soothe yourself with Aphrodite Tapping. Saturday, Feb 28: Full Moon Eclipse Energy begins. The dimmer switch turns up as we head toward the March 3rd Virgo Eclipse. Ground yourself now. Sunday, March 1: New Monthly Meditation. We activate the Higher Heart Chakra to balance the heavy transitions of Pisces season. Weekly Mantra "Now is the moment my full crystalline codes reconfigure. My boundaries strengthen. My clarity is loading. My protections are bolstered, repaired, and amped. All is moving towards better. I am growing into more."

We're in the soupy middle of eclipse season, Mercury is about to retrograde in Pisces, and nothing — literally nothing — in your life is settled right now. Cool. Great. Love that for us.But actually, kind of, yeah. Because this week has this really specific arc that's genuinely useful if you work with it instead of white-knuckling through it. We start Sunday in this pocket of sweetness that feels almost suspiciously good — like the universe handing you a warm drink before it tells you something you need to hear. The middle of the week is quiet on the surface but rearranging underneath, like furniture being moved in the apartment above you at 2 AM. Thursday, Mercury stations retrograde and we officially stop pretending we've been communicating clearly. And by Friday, something electric and kind of feral kicks in — this restless, "I am so fucking done tolerating the thing that doesn't work" energy that might be the most productive thing to happen to us all month.Key moments of the week:Sunday, Feb. 22: Mars in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries (11:12AM)Sunday, Feb, 22: Venus in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer (3:01PM)Thursday, Feb. 26: Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces (1:48AM)Friday, Feb. 27: Mars in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus (11:20AM)Friday, Feb. 27: Sun conjoins North node in Pisces (12:08PM)Saturday, Feb 28: Mercury conjoins Venus in Pisces (12:34AM)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

When Love Gets Easy and Everything Else Gets Complicated This week opens with abundant love and generosity as Venus harmonizes with Jupiter, then shifts into revision mode when Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces on Wednesday.

What happened the last time Mercury went retrograde in Pisces? Mid-February to mid-March 2020. Lockdowns. Misinformation. People couldn't leave their homes. Toilet paper shortages. Surrender because you had no choice. Now we're entering another Mercury retrograde in Pisces cycle—and nobody's talking about what's coming.This episode is about the patterns astrology reveals when you know how to read them. It's about the existential crisis AI is about to trigger when people realize their professions don't exist anymore and their entire identity (Aries) was wrapped up in what they did for work (Saturn). It's about the chasm between 1996-2026 that can never be replicated—from pre-internet to AI—and why people born in that window understand something nobody else will. It's about Uranus forcing the uplevel, human design gate 44 (smelling talent), and why 2020's "return to work" policies were actually disguised layoffs to avoid vesting stock options.Also: Perimenopause brain fog, Mercury retrograde privilege (being born with it), the delulu vs. salulu of Neptune, and why professionalism as we knew it is over.This episode covers:Mercury retrograde in Pisces last cycle: mid-Feb to mid-March 2020 (COVID lockdowns)The AI existential crisis nobody's discussing (identity wrapped in profession)What happens when your job doesn't exist anymore and you don't know who you areUranus forcing upleveling and systematizing creative chaosHuman design gate 44: the ability to smell talentThe 1996-2026 chasm (pre-internet to AI) that can't be replicatedWhy "return to work" policies were disguised layoffs (vesting stock options)Misinformation, delusion (Neptune), and surrender (Pisces)Being born with Mercury retrograde = thriving during retrogradeProfessionalism and leadership being redefined in real-timeSaturn Neptune conjunction: entering new territory (no precedent since 1989)Intuition and jumping (moving to California on in early 2011 when Uranus entered Aries)Perfect for:Anyone who lived through 2020 and feels the parallelBusiness owners preparing for AI-driven upheavalPeople whose identity is wrapped up in their professionListeners who understand astrology reveals patternsAnyone navigating the death of "professionalism" as a conceptKeywords: Mercury retrograde Pisces, 2020 parallels, AI existential crisis, professional identity, Uranus upleveling, human design gate 44, Saturn Neptune conjunction, COVID lockdown astrology, misinformation cycles, redefining professionalism, existential crisis Aries, 1996-2026 chasm, internet to AI, intuitionMentioned in This Episode:Mercury retrograde shadow begins tomorrowMercury retrograde in Pisces (mid-Feb to mid-March 2020 parallel)Eclipse readings (expire 6 PM EST Friday 2/13)Deep dive on Mercury Pisces retrograde (coming next week for email list)Rick Rubin (creative devotion)Human design gate 44 (conscious 2-line Uranus)Saturn Neptune conjunction (new territory since 1989)Uranus in Taurus (2020) - work from home, nature, Silicon Valley exodusCalifornia labor laws and return-to-work disguised layoffs

We can't avoid the AI conversation, and honestly, pretending it's not happening is the worst possible strategy. So instead of speculating or panicking, I want to have a really open, frank chat about what it's doing to our brains, and how we can control it.So I started looking for an expert who was actually thinking seriously about this space, not in a hypey way or a doom way, but in a thoughtful, academic way. Then I came across one of Shae O Ominijo's videos, and immediately knew she was exactly the person to have this conversation with.If you want to actually learn about AI without fear mongering, how it's fuelling anti intellectualism, and what we can all individually do about it to use it in a more thoughtful way, stick with me, because Shae is doing a Harvard PHD on exactly that! I hope you love this conversation as much as I did. +SHAE OMONIJOIG: https://www.instagram.com/iamshaeo/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamshaeoSubstack: https://shaeomonijo.substack.com/ +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpo...+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

You can do all the glowing up in the world, but here's the thing, if you don't actually trust yourself, none of it means anything.I've worked really hard on my self confidence and self assurance over the last few years, and honestly, it's been way harder than I expected. Even now, there are days where if someone questioned me enough, I'd genuinely start doubting things I know are true. And that's not because I'm incapable, it's because I've learnt that self belief does not come naturally to most of us, and is something you have to actively build.So today, I want to talk about what a real glow up actually looks like, not just externally, but internally too. This isn't about being nice to yourself all the time and saying it's self care, it's about discipline, boundaries, structure, and self worth, and how those things actually work together in reality.I'm chatting to Dr Ewoma to break this down properly, from building self assurance without losing self awareness, to tightening up your routines, elevating your everyday habits, and yes of course, getting your skincare right without overcomplicating it.+DR EWOMAIG: https://www.instagram.com/drewomaukeleghe/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skndoctor?lang=en +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpo...+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

Join Digital Education Committee Member and podcast host Deep Chandh Raja, MBBS, MD, PhD , and his guests Georgios Leventopoulos, MD, and Muthiah Subramanian, MD, CCDS, CEPS-A, for this week's Lead episode. This Heart Rhythm article investigates the Bachmann bundle as a target for pacing by using retrograde electrical mapping and correlating findings with underlying myocardial microstructure. The piece provides detailed insights into how Bachmann bundle activation pathways relate to tissue architecture, with implications for optimizing physiologic pacing strategies. These findings may help refine pacing techniques that aim to better mimic natural conduction and improve clinical responses. Learning Objectives Describe the anatomical and electrophysiologic characteristics of the Bachmann bundle and its role in atrial conduction. Explain how retrograde mapping and microstructural correlation can identify optimal pacing targets within the atrial conduction system. Evaluate the potential clinical implications of Bachmann bundle pacing for achieving more physiologic atrial activation. Article AuthorsDaniel L.

Lauren shares her journey, from surviving ovarian cancer to navigating a demanding corporate career and how astrology became a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing. We talk about the importance of understanding our subconscious patterns, listening to our bodies, and embracing vulnerability—sometimes even learning to ask for help. Lauren's insights on the sun, moon, and rising signs offer a practical way for moms to check in with themselves and foster self-acceptance. Ultimately, this episode is about supporting each other, embracing our unique journeys, and committing to self-mastery. You're not alone, Mama—together, we can grow, heal, and reclaim our confidence.

If you've ever stood in front of a full wardrobe and still felt like you had nothing to wear, let me tell you, you are not alone. I'm going to be really honest with you, I find deciding what to wear SO hard, not only do I never give myself enough time, but my neurodivergent brain makes it very difficult to visualise outfits beyond my go-to items, but at the same time I really want to be creative and enjoy getting dressed, and nothing makes me feel better than a great outfit!So, I made it one of my new year's resolutions this year is to be more intentional about my outfits, and find an easier way to do so when I'm busy and stressed. So I've gone down a rabbit hole and looked through all the advice from the experts, and I wanted to make is a busy girl's guide to how to dress better, for all of us who get that wardrobe paralysis! I hope you love it. +NANA ACHEAMPONG Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/styledbynana/?hl=en +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpo...+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

Another 14-transit week as we shift from Capricorn season into Aquarius season. The Sun, Mercury, and Mars all enter Aquarius, joining Venus and Pluto to create a five-planet alignment in Aquarius — something we haven't seen since February 1791.Monday, January 19th is the epicenter, with six exact transits including the Saturn-Uranus sextile that's been building since late December. This week asks us to take one final look at the guilt, shame, regret, and blame that Saturn and Neptune in Pisces have been excavating — and meet it with compassion before these planets leave Pisces for good.We explore what it means to be an authority who distributes knowledge rather than hoards it, and how to stand out as an individual while still contributing to the group. Plus, a self-driving car on train tracks offers an unexpected lens on Mercury conjunct Pluto.(8:08) The Sun in Capricorn Sextile Neptune in Pisces 29° – January 17 – 20 (Saturday – Tuesday) – Monday, January 19.(19:14) The Sun in Aquarius – January 19 – February 18The Sun transits through Aquarius every year from January 19 or 20 – February 18 or 19, depending on where you are and the time.(27:01) Venus Conjunct Pluto in Aquarius 3° – January 17 – 20 (Saturday – Tuesday) – Monday, January 19.(29:27) Mars in Capricorn Sextile Saturn in Pisces 27° – January 16 – 21 (Friday – Wednesday) – Monday, January 19.(33:04) Mars in Capricorn Trine Uranus Retrograde in Taurus 27° – January 16 – 21 (Friday – Wednesday) – Monday, January 19.(36:01) Saturn in Pisces Sextile Uranus Retrograde in Taurus 27° – December 28, 2025 – February 8, 2026 – Monday, January 19.(40:00) Mercury in Capricorn Sextile Neptune in Pisces 29° – January 18 – 21 (Sunday – Wednesday) – Tuesday, January 20.(42:43) Mercury in Aquarius – January 20 – February 6.The dates below are times when Mercury has previously transited through Aquarius.January 27 – February 14, 2025February 4 – 22, 2024February 11 – March 2, 2023February 14 – March 9, 2022January 2 – 25, 2022 (1° – 10° Retrograde in Aquarius)(45:43) The Sun Conjunct Mercury in Aquarius 1° – January 20 – 22 (Tuesday – Thursday) – Wednesday, January 21.(50:24) Mercury Conjunct Pluto in Aquarius 3° – January 21 – 23 (Wednesday – Friday) – Thursday, January 22.(53:56) Mars in Capricorn Sextile Neptune in Pisces 29° – January 19 – 24 (Monday – Saturday) – Thurdsay, January 22.(58:49) Mars in Aquarius – January 23 – March 2.The dates below are times when Mars has previously transited through Aquarius.February 12 – March 22, 2024March 5 – April 14, 2022March 30 – May 12, 2020(1:03:04) The Sun Conjunct Pluto in Aquarius 3° – January 21 – 24 (Wednesday – Saturday) – Friday, January 23.(1:04:59) The Sun in Aquarius Square the Moon in Taurus 06°13' at 8:46 PM PST – Sunday, January 25.Check out my conversation with Dallisa Hocking about the astrology for January, 2026Get the 2026 Astrology GuideJoin my Substackhttps://www.theweeklytransit.com/

The Disrupted team is welcoming the new year by choosing a couple of the episodes we loved from 2025. We have so many favorites that we couldn't reair all of them, but these are some of the ones that we wanted to listen back to. This week, producer Kevin Chang Barnum chose our episode on student journalism. Student journalists have been in the spotlight in recent years. In 2024, amidst massive on-campus protests, people turned to student outlets like Columbia University’s WKCR for the most up to date reporting. But practicing journalism as a student comes with risks. Tufts University graduate student Rümeysa Öztürk was detained in March after the Trump administration revoked her visa. U.S. District Judge William Sessions ordered her release on May 9th, saying the only evidence given for her detention was an op-ed she had written for her school paper. This hour, we’re talking about the role student journalists play in covering campuses and the communities around them. We discuss the risks student journalists face and they way their role is sometimes overlooked. GUESTS: Gary Green: Executive Director of The Student Press Law Center, an organization that supports first amendment rights for student journalists Anika Arora Seth: Editor in Chief of the Yale Daily News from spring 2023 to spring 2024 Maria Shaikh: Managing Editor at The Retrograde, an independent student newspaper at the University of Texas at Dallas Macy Hanzlik-Barend: News & Arts director at WKCR, Columbia University’s independent student-run radio station This episode originally aired on May 16, 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An introduction to an obscure but powerful timing technique called recurrence transits, which occur when specific planetary alignments in the birth chart are repeated by transits in the sky, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best. Unlike standard transits that form aspects to specific points in the natal chart, a recurrence transit occurs when a planetary alignment found in a birth chart repeats in the sky between those same two planets. For example, if a person was born with a Venus-Jupiter conjunction in their birth chart, then an important event will happen in their life in the future when Venus and Jupiter again form a conjunction in the sky. The episode uses the analogy that specific planetary alignments in the birth chart act like a personal theme song; when the planets repeat the same alignment in the sky, it is as if that music starts playing again, signaling a pivotal turning point where the natal potential of the birth signature becomes awakened through a resonance between past and future. The episode opens by exploring the history and transmission of the technique, which is relatively unknown in the English-speaking world at the present time. Nick shares how he learned the method from the late Michael Lutin in the 1990s, while Chris traces potential roots back to early 20th-century German astrology and ancient Hellenistic texts like Vettius Valens. A key point emphasized early on is how these mundane planetary recurrences operate independently of aspects to natal placements, forcing a conceptual expansion of what defines a transit, and demonstrating how planetary cycles can be tied into important turning points in a life narrative even without direct contact with birth chart placements. To demonstrate the technique in practice, most of the episode is spent presenting a wide range of biographical examples as case studies, and focusing primarily on conjunctions in order to keep things simple and compelling. Case studies include the technological breakthroughs of Steve Jobs and Max Planck, the artistic peaks of Vincent van Gogh and Madonna, and the political rises and falls of figures like Richard Nixon and Joe Biden. The workshop also examines how retrogrades can both extend and intensify the importance of certain recurrence transits, as seen in the lives of Edward Snowden and Charles Manson, and we also touch on shared recurrences in relationships, such as Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. The conversation concludes with a broader philosophical discussion on what this technique implies about the nature of astrology, touching on concepts like simulation theory and the definition of astrology as a map of time. This episode serves as a comprehensive foundation for understanding recurrence transits, providing astrologers and students with a powerful, empirically driven tool for predictive work and biographical analysis that complements traditional methods. This is episode 513 of The Astrology Podcast.
