Cosmic Cousins: Soul-Centered Astrology

Hey Cosmic Cousins! Happy New Year 2019! And Happy Eclipse Season! Capricorn energy is connected to father and the patriarchal line. You may have remember if you’ve been listening to the show regularly, during Cancer season, we talked about mother and the matriarchal. So today on the show, we are going to be honoring father through a guided meditation for inner-father healing. Then, feel into the depths of Capricorn as we explore the symbol of the Sea-Goat, and how Capricorn incarnated to bring us magic through ambition and depth of emotion, also symbolized by the Unicorn. We also explore the importance of the polarity between Earth and Water by looking towards the polar signs Capricorn and Cancer.  This week's episode is shorter than normal as I am transitioning back from my cross-country road trip, so thank you for your very Capricorn-like patience.  We should be back to normal episodes starting next week.  Sending you all love during this Eclipse Season. Take sweet care cousins, and remember...deep breathes. ________________________________ Sign-up for Newsletter. Patreon for Cosmic Cousins. Instagram for Cosmic Cousins.

Hey Cousins! Happy Halloween. Happy Samhain! Happy Day of the Dead. Happy Witches New Year! All of it.  I am so stoked that it lined up for us to gather on this day, if you are listening live October 31, 2018. This is a very special time of year, and I think a lot of us in the astrology community and esoteric community really feel connected to this time of year, because it is all about going into the depths, the subconscious, exploring our shadows, and honoring death and rebirth and the cycles of nature and life.  And this is exactly what we do in an astrology practice. By honoring the cycles of the planets, we tune into the expansiveness of our souls.  And so thanks for being here today.   On this week’s episode, we will have a special Halloween meditation with a pumpkin theme. Then, I will update you on the transits for this week. We have quite a lot of movement happening in the sky, and some big build up for shifts. Next, I update you on the 'Queen of Scorpio tournament' we have going on.  And we’ll honor the life of Scorpio's Grace Kelly, KD Lang, and Tracee Ellis Ross.   And then finally, we’ll round out our time, with an incredible interview with Madre Jaguar, a shamanic reiki practitioner, a medicine woman, birth doula, and the founder and curator of LA’s very own, Mystic Bazaar. Jaguar is a Scorpio sun and is serving us some mad Scorpio high-vibes. And so we talk about death, rebirth, transformation, angel numbers, cocoa ceremonies, and how Scorpio connects to the earth.     ________________________________ Patreon for the show.
