Cosmic Cousins: Soul-Centered Astrology

Hey cousins! Welcome back to another week of soul-centered astrology. It’s a big week for us all, as the cosmic wheel turns and brings us right into the beginning of the new cycle with Aries season.  So Happy New Year! Happy Equinox! And Happy Aries Season.   For the season finale, we first start off touching base with the theme for Season 2, Saturn in Capricorn, and how that influences this Aries Season, as Aries Ruling Planet Mars is also in the productive and resourceful Capricorn.   Then, you’ll enjoy a meditation for embodied health based off the current transits for the next month, which will be a super grounding way to come into this season.   Then, we’re gonna talk about the Spring Equinox, Aries Season, and the soul-invitation of Aries, as well as what it means to be an Aries Sun, Moon, and Rising.  We will talk bout what transits will be happening over the coming weeks, including Full Moon in Libra and Venus entering Taurus. And of course, we all know, Mercury goes Retrograde tomorrow, Thursday March 22. So we’ll dispel the fear round Mercury Rx, and talk about practices you can integrate into your life during this transits.      Then, after we’ve grounded our ass, we’ll be looking at the birth chart and honoring the life of the great Dr. Maya Angelou.  Maya Angelou is beyond an inspiration as a living embodiment of the pioneering energy of an Aries Sun. Her birth chart is an incredible representation of this, so I can not wait to get into the astrology components of her life.   And then we round this episode off, with a steamy conversation with the double fire, water rising Zac Monday. Zac @monzeez is an Aries Sun on the Pisces Cusp, Aries Moon, and Scorpio Ascendant. We talk about how an Aries on the Pisces Cusp might differ from another Aries; what it’s like to date an Aries, Taurus, and Geminil; and cover the following astrology topics: Pluto on the Ascendant, Aries Moon, Scorpio Rising, Aries as the Emperor + Magician in the tarot, and what it means to have your Sun and Moon in the same astrological sign. We also enjoy two hot tracks by Zac. All of this and more!   And if you stick around towards the end of the episode, I announce the new theme for Season 3, which will premiere on Wednsday, April 18.   If you'd like to book a reading, or work with me one-on-one in mentorship for the Spring-Fall cycle, or if you are interested in private astrology or tarot lessons, visit astrologycousins.com or email me at jeff@brooklynfools.com.

Hey cousins! Welcome back to another week of soul-centered astrology. Whether you are new to astrology, or are well seasoned, it doesn't matter. Because this show is intended for you to carve out time to be with yourself, through some guided meditation, to learn about and be inspired by the life of someone who is ushering in the New Age with their radical offerings, and then to create dialogue with other Cosmic Cousins who vibe with this astrology vocabulary. So we’re gonna do all that and more on this special episode.     So on this special episode, we are honoring the work and life of Pisces Goddess Erykah Badu, as voted on by you all on Instagram, you spoke loud and clear and she won by like 70% of the votes, so we will be talking all the planets in her chart, she’s hella pisces.   We will also be talking and meditating a bit on the Pisces New Moon, to give us a little sweet taste of embodied health.   And then to round out this episode we have the first ever Cosmic Cousins Astrological Panel, with a dream team Pisces Panel, with a Pisces Sun, Moon, and Rising. We’ve got NYC based Teva Livne, our pisces sun rep, giving us some fierce otherworld pisces vibes through her artwork and outlook, we got Miami based Adrienne Fisher of Meraki Nomad giving us Pisces Moon vibes with her deeply empathetic nature and mystical ritual business offerings, and then of course the high vibe Risces Rising, Luke Simon, reiki master, queer sex magician, mystic musician, Sex Crystals, Softer Image, Pisces Rising King.   So all of that and more! I couldn’t be more thrilled to be here with you all for another week, and riding this last wave of Pisces Season. I had originally said the this was gonna be the season finale. But I have exciting news, even though this is a 2.5 hour episode and I planned it to be super epic, like a season finale should be, I got lots of fiery feedback from Aries (big surprise there), being like “WHAT ABOUT ME?!”  So, we will do one last episode for this season. The season finale will be NEXT week on Understanding Aries and honoring the Spring Equinox.     A few updates from me... I’m Trash Canyon aka Canyon Rainmaker aka Jeff Hinshaw aka Jeph Norman Fox. Yes, I have lots of names, because I have lots of offerings and projects. But it’s all good. One of the offerings I am most excited about is my one-on-one mentorship program.   This is a 12-week mentorship program in which we will dive deep into astrology. Each week we will gather through the lens of an astrological sign, going from Aries to pisces. You will learn how to be an astrologer, how to utilize it in your healing practice, how to read others charts, you’ll learn about transits, sextile, trines, conjunctions, progressed astrology, all of it and more. It’s a 12 week deep dive immersive.   I also have another offering I am super excited about, for those looking for more of a group therapy vibe format. I am offering a Year Course Called Cosmic Cousins: Astro Soul Journey. Which is a group that meets online twice a month, for a total of 24 gatherings. This starts in April and goes all the way until March of 2019.    I also offer private Astro soul .mp3 readings as well, and there’s some new openings up for that.       Love you cousins!

Hey cousins! Welcome back to another week of soul-centered astrology. I’m super happy to be here as always. It’s such a privilege to be on this journey of self-discovery through the lens of astrology. We’ve got a deeply powerful Pisces episode for you this week. We’ll first start talking about some of the current transits, with a little Venus Transit meditation for grounding our ass during this expansive time of year.   Then, for deeper study, we will look at the ruling planet for pisces, the great and mysterious Neptune. We really go in there, look at Neptune in the following generations:  Neptune in Libra. 1942-1957 Scorpio 1955 - 1970 Sagittarius - 1970 - 1984 Capricorn - 1984 - 1998 Aquarius - 1998 - 2012 Pisces - 2011 - 2024   And we also explore what it means for Neptune to be in Pisces now, and over the next 6 years.   Then, we're celebrating the birthday of honoring the life of the incredibly emotional, evocative, and dreamy Anais Nin. Anais Nin is a famous novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica, and she has helped inspire confidence in the expression of emotionality, femininity, and sexuality through written word. She was a multiple conjunct Pisces (Sun, Jupiter Venus) with Libra Rising and her Mars and North Node are close to her Libran Ascendent, so to be sure we’re gonna get into all of that! We'll listen to some clips of her work and interviews.   And then this episode rounds off with another Pisces Sun, and another Anais. Too perfect. Anais Mystical Mandrake Root, who is a gifted astrologer, root priestess, and mystical herbalist based in New York City and New Orleans. She sheds some incredible light to the multi-dimensional nature of Pisces, she shares tips on how to cleanse the aura and ground the energy as a Pisces, and then we talk what life is like growing up as one of four siblings in a family with a Double Taurus Mother.   In addition, I just launched open enrollment for working with me one-on-one. If you’re interested in deepening your astrology practice, I now have a 12-week mentorship immersion available, as well as a 6-pack and 3-pack study package. These study sessions will be remotely over video chat online, so they are available no matter where in the world you are. I have room to work with four different individuals who feels the call to deepen their practice. So to find out more, visit astrologycousins.com   I hope you enjoy!

Hey hey cosmic cousins! Welcome back to another week of soul-centered astrology. I am currently couch surfing at the moment, in Thai Town in Los Angeles, so definitely riding the ocean wave’s of Pisces Season. What an incredibly magical and mysterious time of year. Now is a time for us to stay focused and grounded in our rituals. This is super important during Pisces time of year, and it’s something the Virgo Moon invites us into this week. So we’ll talk about that on the show today. You can look forward to a deep dive into understanding of the Virgo Moon, how it balances Pisces energy, and ritual and meditation you can partake in to make the most of this transit.    We’re also going to be honoring the life of and celebrating the birthday of the incredible Pisces Sun, Nina Simone. As a trained musician, jazz vocalist, and social activist in the civil rights movement, Nina Simone helped to usher in a world in alignment with the higher virtues and values of universality. So to be sure, she is a Cosmic Cousin we can all look up to. Her chart is off the wall, with 5 planets in the first house, and her Sun Moon and Rising are the last three signs of the cosmic wheel of expansion, Capricorn Moon, Aquarius Rising, Pisces Sun. So we’re gonna get into all of that! And listen to some clips of her songs for research purposes, including: 'Mississippi Goddamn,' 'Sea-Line Woman,' 'Feelin' Good,' and of course the great 'Young, Gifted, and Black.' If you are familiar with Nina Simone, you know her voice and music is filled with an Ocean of Emotion, so it’s no surprise she’s a Pisces Sun!   And then this episode rounds off with an incredibly intimate and sweet interview with incredible Pisces Sun Birth Doula, Catalina Clark. Which her birthday is today. Happy Solar Return Catalina! She shares her journey transitioning from working in Night Life in NYC, to finding yoga, moving into pre-natal yoga, and then working with pregnant women and mothers as a doubla. Which is super cool, because she’s a Cancer Rising, so we see that being reflected there too. Beautiful beautiful Pisces woman, and it was such an honor to interview her. So I hope you stick around for that too! Check her instagram out at @catalina.clark   Now that I am in Los Angeles, I have more time and space for astrology readings. I will also be adding space for some deep dive one-on-one mentorships in the weeks to come. You can find out more informtion on that at www.astrologycousins.com.

Hey cousins! A super witchy episode for you this week. First up we talk about the Eclipse Season as a powerful opportunity for soul re-alighment. I share with you my practice with spirit animals and how the Snow Owl, the higher octave of Aquarius, is a great energy to concentrate on during this next week.   We then look at the birth chart of great mystic and legend Pamela Colman Smith’s birth chart. She is an Aquarius Sun and Leo moon and is the illustrator of the world famous Rider Waite tarot, which is now since been upgraded to the Smith Centinneial Tarot. So we’ll be honoring her life and her work and of course looking at her birth chart.    And then we’ll round this episode off with the incredible Full Time Witch, Erin Aquarian, Aquarius Sun, Scorpio Moon, Capricorn Rising. Erin is a super bad ass tarot reader and the lead lungs to a matriarchal rage doom pop band. We talk Divine Feminine, tarot, Capitalism, life as an Aquarius and Capricorn rising, and we even get to listen to one of her invocations, oh and also her anti-commerercial.     **Please note, the interview with Erin was not the best receptive, so the interview is spliced in some parts. So if the conversation doesn’t Segway correctly, It’s because I was cutting out static. I am so sorry about that.   ***Also, I promised I would do some of my spoken word and rap via @thewelltarot ’s request to know what “bleep bleep I’m a fucking black sheep” was about. But I forgot to add it at the end of this episode, lol, so I will have to do it next time. :* LOVE YALL! 

Riding the wave of this Lunar Eclipse to bring you another jam packed episode, Cousins! On this episode we go deep into the invitation of this Leo Supermoon Lunar Eclipse. We talk about the three tiers of Leo's consciousness, as well as the connection Aquarius and Leo share. This is also a powerful episode for understanding Leo Moon, not just in transits, but in your own chart, if you yourself are a Leo Moon. Then, I'm literally brought to tears when talking about the life of and looking at the birth chart of great legend, Bob Marley @bobmarley (birthday February 6).

On today’s episode, we’re gonna be grounding our ass with the New Moon in Capricorn. It’s a potent one because not only does it mark the beginning of Eclipse season, but it is also the first New Moon of a three year cycle with Saturn in Capricorn. So we’ll be talking self-discovery and New Moon ritual. I’ll lead a little meditation for embodied health inspired by this, and we will also be looking at a tarot spread for this new moon as well.

This Thanksgiving we may have a lot of uncomfortable but urgent things to talk about at our dinner tables, including misogyny, sexual violence against women, white supremacy and xenophobia. With Jupiter in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn, we have the opportunity to confront these aspects both within ourselves and on a collective. But perhaps in a much more light-hearted Sagittarian way. On Episode 10, we go over the invitation of Sagittarius Season, as well as talk a little bit about Shadow Work. Mercury Retrograde is also introduced. Enjoy!
