Moon to Moon

I share right away that the seasonal episode for Libra season is a little different this month because I offered a deep dive forecasting discussion of the Libra archetype over on Cosmic Cousins with host Jeff Hinshaw and my dear friend and collaborator Jonathan Koe. Please check it out on iTunes, Spotify, or PodBean.  Here I share some of my personal gnosis from working so deeply with Venus - Libra's planetary ruler - this year. This part of the episode will be especially meaningful to you if you listed to my Taurus season episode on The Emergent No when Venus was in Taurus as well as a the episode on Dumbo's Feather when Venus was in Leo. Now Venus is in Scorpio, opposite the former and square the latter.   I also get into my thoughts on the Mercury retrograde invitation - nestled as it is between a square to Pluto and an opposition to Chiron.  I share some downloads I've received on this from the Akashic space.  And finally I offer a collective tarot reading to support us with all we're learning this Libra season.  Thank you for listening!

Currently, I am only giving one-on-one readings to folks in my Patreon.   If you enjoy Moon to Moon, please leave a rating and review. Thank you so much!  

Wow wow wow this is such a rich, deep, and expansive conversation. I have admired Rachel's work for a couple of years now and in 2021 we have been growing a friendship in mutual admiration and respect. I'm so honored to be able to share her voice with you here on Moon to Moon.  Rachel Blodgett is an artist and poetic spellcrafter from Santa Rosa California. Working with botanical dyes and visual magic, she created the magical lingerie shop known as Serpent & Bow: serving as a channel to transformative and liberatory understandings of embodiment. Rachel also offers divinatory card readings through her tarot practice, House of Poets. She is devoted to courting Life as it moves through us: exploring the mystery of being here, surrendering to being human, and allowing artistic expression to deepen this exquisite spiritual experience in the material mundane. Follow Serpent & Bow on Instagram and visit her online store to select the piece that's meant for you.   In the episode, we dive into Rachel's chart. She is a Scorpio Rising, Sag Moon, and Taurus Sun. We discuss how Serpent & Bow unfolded and how her process has been shifting in 2021 as Uranus has been informing her Sun.  Rachel is a remarkable storyteller. Not only is the content of what she says incredibly authentic, deep, and wise, but also the somatic quality of her voice is slow, sensual, and grounding. There are many laters of weight to her words. You will be truly entranced by her Scorpio-Taurus embodiment here.  Thank you, Rachel, for connecting with me at so many levels and sharing yourself here! And thank you for everyone who has already said Yes to Charting Your Course and to those who will soon. Registration closes Sunday night, Aug 29. We begin on September 1!

We can't wait to begin!  +++ Podcast music by Jonathan Koe. Podcast art by Angela George.

Woohoo - 42 has been my lucky number since I was a kid.

I am blessed when it comes to magnetizing the right people! You know this if you join any of my groups. I bring in folks who are smart, creative, critical thinkers who are also old souls seeking something more mystical and heart-led from their lives. I bring in the clever and the witty, the earnest and the authentic, the kind and the good.

Welcome back to the next episode in this series Living the F**k Out of Your Chart. I hope you are loving these!  My guest is Kristin Layne Tucker. Kristin is an Emmy-nominated screenwriter and highly creative human being. I know Kristin as a client and student who is fearless about going to the deepest places in the chart. A Sag Rising, Aries Sun-Venus-Mars-Mercury, and Leo Moon, Kristin has learned to be an alchemist with so much FIRE in her chart.  Her life, as she shares, has been shaped by the Archer's desire to aim for a world she doesn't see yet. Her personal Aries stellium in the 5th House of creativity opposite the generational Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto in Libra in the 11th House of collectivity has been a powerful push-pull axis for her. She has been growing into how to serve her self-expression while also addressing and serving collective transformation and the calling in of new paradigms. We speak too about her Vesta-Moon conjunction in Leo in the 9th House. Tune in to hear about it!  The Emmy-nominated Kristin Layne Tucker began following her calling when she transferred from Georgetown University to the University of Southern California. It was there that she took her first screenwriting class and fell in love with the art form. After college, Kristin enrolled in graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin, where she received her M.A. in Screenwriting. Post-graduate school, she worked as an assistant to a television literary agent at WME while delving into her own writing pursuits. With the television scripts she wrote, Kristin was one of seven comedy semi-finalists in the Austin Film Festival, one of six comedy finalists for the Warner Bros. Television Writers’ Workshop and was one of eight writers accepted into NBC’s Writers on the Verge. Kristin’s small screen debut came as a writer on Disney Channel’s Dog With A Blog. Subsequently, she worked as a writers’ assistant on the Showtime series Black Monday, at Hartbeat Productions on a Kevin Hart project for Netflix, and as a writer on comedian Jo Koy’s animated series This Functional Family. Her most recent writing credits include season two of HBO’s groundbreaking, Emmy-nominated A Black Lady Sketch Show as well as season two of Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated The Flight Attendant on HBO Max. Kristin was also recently tapped to write a feature for Netflix, starring Jada Pinkett Smith. In the summer of 2020, Kristin was the graduation speaker at our alma mater. This is a HUGE honor. Toward the end of our conversation, I read excerpts of her speech to reflect back to her - and to you the listener - the power of her voice. You can literally feel her chart inside these words! So moving!  Enjoy!  +++ To learn about my upcoming 7-month journey to learning how to read your chart and cultivate fluency and intimacy with astrology and the planets, check out the Charting Your Course page on my website.

On August 5, Jonathan Koe and I hosted a free webinar titled Living the F**k Out of Your Chart. In this episode, I share the audio recording from that spirited hour together. Click here if you would like to watch the video recording.  In the webinar, we court the notion of "living the f**k our your chart" by asking three introductory questions:  - What is astrology?  - What is the birth chart?  - What is not-astrology?  This brings to the our super provocative thesis as well as our suggested technique for getting closer to living the f**k out of your chart in your own chart analysis.  To learn about our upcoming 7-month journey to learning how to read your chart and cultivate fluency and intimacy with astrology and the planets, check out the Charting Your Course page on my website.

It is my honor to introduce the first of a series of episodes under the very fun title: Living the F**k Out of Your Chart.  The origins of the phrasing are discussed in this episode, as Jonathan was the person who first said this as their intention for learning astrology in my astrology class Charting Your Course.  Jonathan and I met initially when they booked a series of astrology readings with me in 2019. Across 2020, Jonathan became one of my most active students and community members, and in 2021 Jonathan has become my trusted teaching collaborator. Jonathan is also the creator of the beautiful music here on Moon to Moon! They are also my very, treasured dear friend.  Jonathan is a queer multi-hyphenate mystic. Using the languages of music, astrology, tarot, energy, and statistics, Jonathan's work aims to empower fellow seekers through compassionate discernment, to nurture communities, and to shift our collective relationship to limitations. You can find Jonathan on IG at @nate_qi and book readings on their website.  Join me and Jonathan for a free webinar on Living the F**k Out of Your Chart on Aug 5. If you see this after that date, you can still catch the replay for what will be a very juicy conversation. Sign up from receive updates on Charting Your Course, which begins again September 1 and runs to mid-March. The course page will be ready very soon. I only open the doors to my astro class once a year - this is it! The course is a life-changing experience to teach you how to read your chart and learn the language of astrology.

In this special episode, I share an interview with my astrology teacher Adam Sommer.  Adam has been working in the realm of astrology for 13 years now. That's a long time! He is a trove of information and leaps between concepts and modalities with ease. Adam is a Virgo Rising with a Gemini Sun and Scorpio Moon. His mind is quick, sharp, and agile. He is a wordsmith, a trickster, and a storyteller. And he intuits deeply and bravely into the hidden and mysterious.  Before our conversation begins, I share some thoughts on teachers, teaching, learning, and influencing here in this Hierophant year (I define that in the episode) as a bridge to my talk with Adam.   In our conversation, we cover the following:  How I came to choose Adam as my teacher (sneak peek: it has to do with Chiron) How Adam encouraged me to develop personal intimacy with the planets through personal gnosis, magic, and tracking patterns in my life Astrology as soul-making Astrology as a journey of trust to find connections between people: friends, students, clients, teachers, and other companions Adam’s wild, unexpected journey since Uranus entered his 9th House that he’s called The Wyrd Road Refining what you love about astrology over the years How to answer the question: “What kind of astrologer are you?” Adam’s story of getting claimed by astrology despite early resistance - thank yous to Bob Dylan, Richard Tarnas, and Ari Moshe How in 2009 Adam started his podcast Holes to Heavens, previously known as Exploring Astrology Why he loves working with the synodic cycles and tracking patterns over the years Inviting in magic to work with your astrological practice Adam’s affinity with Mercury as the planet to which he feels most naturally connected (Adam is Virgo Rising with a Gemini Sun!) The importance of locating stories and rewriting stories with their chart - including recognizing that “we aren’t our stories” Living with and appreciating the paradox and mystery in the chart and in astrology genrally His love for bringing people together at retreats that weave his diverse, multi-disciplinary (Gemini) interests How the Gemini-Sag lunar nodes seem to be teaching Adam now (that’s his 4th & 10th House axis) His current project to write the astrology book for The Wooden Book series If you haven't already, please go find Adam Sommer through his podcast Holes to Heavens, at his website, through his Patreon community, and on writings on Medium.

In this episode, I share the deep and powerful teachings of Leo, the Sun, & the Strength card. This is important because it's about heart-tuning for your vitality and radiant contentment.

And in this way, Leo teaches you how to serve as you lead and lead as you serve.  Leo heals scarcity.  Leo is central to your chart. Look to yours for the house where you have Leo and consider the themes of your Leo domain when listening.  We also discuss the particular thematics of this Leo season 2021.
