Hi everyone!In this segment, we explore the upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Leo in Pūrva Phalgunī — an asterism associated with love, romance, creativity, pleasure, and the sacred creative force that flows through us when we are still, present, and at rest.We discuss practical strategies to consciously connect with and utilize this energy:Prioritizing rest as a creative actSoftening into receptivity rather than controlHealing wounds or authority, visibility, and recognitionReclaiming sensuality as ours to experience Meanwhile, Venus shifts into its sign of exaltation in Pisces, heightening emotion and awakening a longing for “higher love.” Romance may feel fated, spiritual, transcendent. But with heightened sensitivity comes potential illusion.There may be:Idealization in loveRose-colored glassesConfusion or mixed signalsKarmic themes surfacing in intimacy and partnershipWith both Saturn and Neptune influencing the field, we explore the tension between devotion and delusion, fantasy and maturity. The invitation is not to reject romance — but to balance it. To enjoy beauty and mysticism while remaining grounded and discerning.With the Leo–Aquarius axis activated, this eclipse also speaks to:Inner authority vs. collective influenceAncestral patterns around visibility and leadershipInvesting in causes we genuinely care aboutImpact doesn't have to be grandiose. It can look like:Small acts of generosityShowing up authenticallyChoosing integrity over applauseTune in to explore how this eclipse may manifest — and how to consciously work with its creative, romantic, and transformative potential.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

In this Thursday episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we bring an academic lens to bookish culture, genre fiction, and the conversations shaping romance and romantasy today. Our podcast blends literary analysis, cultural criticism, and emotional honesty. We treat romance, romantasy, and fanfiction as genres worthy of serious discussion, not just quick takes. This episode is part of our Subtext Society series, inspired by The Subtext Society Journal. The Subtext Society Journal is a collaborative publication dedicated to thoughtful essays on romance, romantasy, fan culture, and publishing ethics. We explore moral questions, genre evolution, power dynamics, and the real-world impact of stories, guided by values of literary rigor without gatekeeping, community over hierarchy, and ethics-first analysis. Today's discussion focuses on the article: “The Reader's Space" The article examines the evolving idea of the “reader's space,” tracing how traditionally reader-centered environments like review platforms have become more complicated with the rise of social media and BookTok, where authors are expected to market themselves and engage publicly. It explores the tension between readers wanting spaces for honest discussion free from author influence and authors navigating visibility, marketing pressure, and emotional vulnerability in a highly competitive publishing landscape. The piece argues that while authors should avoid inserting themselves into reader reviews, readers also play a role in blurring boundaries by tagging authors or drawing them into discourse. Ultimately, it calls for nuance, empathy, and shared responsibility, suggesting that online book communities function as hybrid spaces where both readers and authors must learn evolving norms and practice mutual respect.

Romance is great, but it's not what keeps a marriage strong. In this Love Month episode, we're shifting the focus from “be romantic” to “be selfless”—because most marriages don't fall apart from incompatibility… they fall apart from selfishness. If you've felt off-track lately, overwhelmed, or stuck in tension, this episode is a jolt back on track.DiscoverWhy “me over we” creates constant friction in marriageHow conflict is often about unmet desires, not the surface issueThe simple shift that makes love feel real again: you first = we firstWhat we learned from hosting a Love Challenge Date Night (10 fun challenges!)Why love is a verb and how your heart follows your actionsHow to build a “competition of honor” that makes marriage fun againPractical ways to say yes more often and short-circuit selfishnessA weekly Love Dare: one intentional act of selflessness every dayKey Points Discussed“Real love is not me first—it's you first.”“Marriage becomes fun again when it becomes a competition of honor.”“Love doesn't insist on its own way—so we interrupt selfishness on purpose.”Bible Verses MentionedJames 4:1Philippians 2:3Romans 12:10Ephesians 5:251 Corinthians 13:5Question for youWhere have you been putting me over we, and what's one small way you can put your spouse first this week?Call to ActionIf this encouraged you, like, subscribe, and share this episode with a couple who needs a reset.And drop a comment: What's your one act of selflessness this week?#MarriageMonthly #ChristianMarriage #MarriageAdvice #BiblicalMarriage #MarriageHelp #HealthyMarriage #RelationshipAdvice #SelflessLove #MarriageGoals #FaithAndMarriage

James sits down with Harry, the host and victim behind The Rachel Cancer Scam, before sharing Episode One of his story. What Harry once believed was a twenty-year love story slowly revealed itself to be a long-term romance scam built on lies, emotional manipulation, and carefully constructed identities. Careers were invented. A pregnancy was faked. Crises were manufactured to keep multiple men emotionally tethered at the same time. This is a true story about a love scam that was never about money, but about control, devotion, and the power of belief. How does a relationship scam last for decades, and how does the truth finally come to light?

What if singleness and marriage were never meant to be opposing seasons — but invitations to the same deeper goal?In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Lisa Harper shares her personal story of not choosing singleness — and discovering that Jesus meets us fully in the life we didn't plan. Together, we explore the tension between longing for marriage and learning contentment, and unpack what Paul the Apostle truly meant when he wrote that singleness is a gift.Lisa opens up about grief, growth, unmet expectations, and the steady faithfulness of Christ. We look at the full context of 1 Corinthians 7, gently challenge cultural narratives, and reframe what it means to walk closely with Jesus in every season.Pray while you wait with Future Husband, Present Prayers and trust God with your love story with the Dear Future Husband Prayer Journal.

Where were you when the “Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?” article dropped? Late last year when the piece dropped, it immediately took internet discourse by storm and had a lot of people in heterosexual relationships questioning and taking a deeper look into their relationships.

This episode originally aired on October 22, and I'm bringing it back because this is a conversation we simply cannot ignore.As explicit “romance” fiction and erotic content continue to become normalized—especially among women—it's important that we talk honestly about what it's doing to our hearts and our marriages.In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, Elise Orozco shares how so-called “romance” fiction slowly drew her in, how it impacted her marriage and her walk with the Lord, and how God led her to freedom.This isn't about shame.

Romance scams are on the rise. New AI developments require you to be sharper than ever before. But the playbook's always the same. Know the play, and you'll know the con. Romance scams may look different today—especially with AI in the mix—but the structure never changes. Every con follows the same five steps, designed to build trust, create emotional dependency, and manufacture a crisis where money feels like love. Once you recognize the pattern, the illusion breaks—and the power returns to you.

We dig into why queer joy matters, how power dynamics shift when fame enters the room, and why it finally feels possible to tell coming-out stories without centering tragedy.We also chat about reading across genres, unexpected nonfiction rabbit holes, and Amy's favorite sapphic and bisexual romances to add to your TBR—especially if you love stories about ambition, community, and women figuring it out together.

On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, we prove once again that reality is undefeated.We kick things off with a story so unhinged it feels like it should be from Florida… but nope — Kentucky said, “Hold my deer.” A 32-year-old man was arrested after allegedly being caught in a roadside situation with a deceased deer. Yes. That sentence is real. Yes. We all regret knowing it. And yes, we break it down in the only way a funny podcast can — equal parts disbelief, sarcasm, and “how is this even a charge?”From there, we spiral (as we do) into a round of Fake News or Florida, where headlines about sword fights in pools and hurricane target practice somehow feel believable. If you've ever wondered how many times Florida residents need to be told not to shoot at weather systems… this is your moment.But it's not all deer chaos and noodle duels. We also dig into the BAFTA controversy involving a Tourette's-related incident that sparked a serious debate about intent vs. impact. It's one of those rare moments where this funny podcast pumps the brakes just long enough to have a real conversation — before inevitably derailing again.And of course, no episode would be complete without:Moon explaining why he listens to educational podcasts at 1.8x speed like he's training for the Mental Olympics.Rock & Roll Hall of Fame arguments that will absolutely upset someone.Concert etiquette breakdowns (stop elbowing people during “Give It Away.” We hear it too.)And a heartfelt but mildly chaotic discussion about going to concerts alone.It's celebrity news, weird crimes, pop culture commentary, music debates, and just enough sarcasm to keep it all barely under control.If you love daily humor, entertainment gossip, ridiculous real-life stories, and a crew that roasts each other as hard as they roast the headlines, this is your new favorite funny podcast.And remember — if you're buying someone festival tickets… maybe get two.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.A mother went missing in 2001.

On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, we once again prove that reality is the most unhinged writer in America.We kick things off with a story that made the entire studio question everything: a 32-year-old Kentucky man arrested after being caught having sex with roadkill. Yes. A deer. On the side of the road. At 7pm. In public. Pants around the knees. Covered in fur. It's the kind of headline that makes you pause and whisper, “We can't make this up,” because legally and emotionally, we shouldn't have to. The mugshot breakdown alone turns into a full forensic roast session, complete with thumb comparisons and psychic-level suspect sketch predictions.From there, we try to cleanse our brains with a round of Fake News of Florida — because nothing says healing like emotional support squirrels, hurricane target practice warnings, inflatable dolphins for morale, and drive-thru confessionals absolving tacos. Moon flexes his suspiciously solid Florida knowledge, callers put their dignity on the line, and we once again confirm that Florida doesn't need our help being weird.We also get unexpectedly wholesome when the conversation shifts to roadkill heartbreak and why some of us get genuinely sad over animals on the side of the road. (Yes, even the big biker truck driver dudes. We see you. We feel you.) It's emotional growth… immediately followed by someone saying “deer eye for the psycho guy.” Because balance.This episode is everything you expect from a funny podcast that thrives on weird news, sarcastic humor, and daily chaos. From Kentucky criminal headlines to Florida's annual “don't shoot the hurricane” reminders, it's your daily dose of absurdity wrapped in a comedy show that somehow airs on actual radio.If you love a funny podcast that blends unusual news stories, St. Louis attitude, and the kind of banter that feels like hanging out with your most unfiltered friends — welcome home. This is your daily comedy fix, served with zero dignity and maximum commentary.We're The Rizzuto Show — your favorite funny podcast that somehow keeps getting away with this.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review! ABOUT THE STARS BETWEEN US Seven years ago, Kim made a connection with a stranger during an eclipse event. Now a fledgling news reporter, Kim returns to Illinois for this year's eclipse, unaware that their paths may cross again. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE STARS BETWEEN US February 21, 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF THE STARS BETWEEN US Sarah Drew as Kim Matt Long as Malcolm BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS 7 years ago, we're in Carbondale, Illinois and it's eclipse time! Malcolm is on top of a hill with his telescope, totally nerding out. His girlfriend isn't nearly as pumped as he is and she heads down the hill to snag some Rocket Dogs. While she's gone, a woman named Kim shows up. She's drawn to his telescope. They start talking and bond over their love of space. Right before the eclipse happens, her boyfriend Blake calls her. He's finally arrived, so she scurries off to meet up with him. 7 years later, Kim is now working for a news station. The person who was gonna go back to Carbondale to cover the eclipse bails so she volunteers to take on the case. Who knows, maybe she'll bump into the hunk from 7 years ago. And wouldn't you know it, they're both actually there. But somehow they keep missing each other. At a masquerade party, they get to talking but obviously they're rocking masks. Her first news spot is rocky but goes kind of viral. She ends up getting the invite for her eclipse spot to go national! She's freaking out! Her camera person and Malcolm's best friend end up meeting and really hitting it off. You'd think that would mean that Malcolm and Kim would end up meeting. Nope. They sure don't. They end up going multiple days without realizing they're both there. It's the day of the big eclipse and they were able to secure this GIANT scientist to come and be interviewed. When he ends up getting lost, they go and snag Malcolm. Naturally, they don't chat at all until they come face to face live on air. The chemistry is NUTS! After they go off air, they promptly go and chat and kiss and miss the eclipse. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

This season is created for readers who want more than quick takes and star ratings, offering space to explore how and why stories work on the page. This is not a traditional book review podcast; it's an analysis and conversation. Each week, we share flash literary analysis that examines themes, authorial intent, character arcs, symbolism, world-building, and key plot devices. Our discussions move beyond initial impressions to unpack narrative choices, emotional resonance, and the craft behind fantasy and romantasy storytelling. We aim to bridge academic literary insight with the modern reading experience shaped by BookTok and online reading communities. This week, we discuss As Many Souls as Stars by Natasha Siegel.
