Episode notes

This week we’re diving into the intersection of astrology and pop culture, where the transits in the sky are lining up with the headlines we can’t stop talking about. We’ll explore the current cosmic climate—Pluto’s shifts, eclipse themes, and Leo season energy—and how it’s shaping everything from creativity to collective change.

From there, we zoom in on Taylor Swift: her Scorpio rising chart, the astrology behind her latest album announcement, and why her timing always feels so cosmically aligned. We’ll also unpack The Summer I Turned Pretty through an astrological lens, decoding Conrad vs. Jeremiah archetypes (which are you!??!) and the deeper lessons about love, choice, and destiny. We are talking Justin Bieber’s doppelgänger that fooled the world in Vegas!

And of course, we can’t ignore “Brain Rot Summer”—the chaotic, overstimulated cultural vibe that’s actually right on cue with Uranus and Neptune transits.

If you’re craving a blend of cosmic forecast, cultural analysis, and all things synchronicity, this episode will make you see pop culture in a whole new way.
