TRIGGER WARNING: Stalking & R*pe PLUS CONTAINS SPOILERS! Please don't continue reading/listening if you are yet to watch the show. Everyone's talking about Baby Reindeer, so I thought it was time to join the conversation. Of course, I am looking at things from an astrological edge, and when they gave specific dates in the show, I just had to note t…

Today I talk about the current astrology and the general feel of things. Mercury is stationed ready to enter his direct motion, the Jupiter–Uranus conjunction perfected on Sunday 21st, and the recent Eclipses from Late March to early April. What does it all mean? How is it manifesting? What can you do to make the most of it? And how has it impacted…

OK, so I'm a bit late publishing this one, but Cara, my patron, asked me an interesting question: What does the Jupiter–Uranus conjunction in Taurus mean for those of us born with Chiron in Taurus? Here are my thoughts – I hope you find the episode useful. Please let me know what you think, and whether I missed anything! MENTIONED OUCH! Uranus on M…

Following on from last week's episode, inspired by Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, I recorded some thoughts I had about the method in which the Ego makes itself known and communicates with us. Of course, the Ego in our horoscope is the Sun, but where would he be on his journey of becoming, without his diligent but oh-so-biased PA: Mercury, colouring e…

A few weeks back I was reading a book called A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and found myself relating the content to planetary transits and astrological placements. I talked about the transpersonal planets, or as they're commonly known: the Gods of change. This is all coinciding with a Pluto transit that I am currently having to my natal Mercury plac…

Something I’ve wanted to explore on this show for a very long time is a popular predictive technique called Secondary Progressions. I’ve always been intrigued but have spent most of my time focussing on other techniques because they came more naturally to me. So I decided to get my friend and astrological colleague, Fernanda Paiva, on the show to t…

Help us with our Juno research: https://forms.gle/12mhRWTFMBQ1ygkC7 I remember some time back in 2015, clicking around the additional objects on astro.com and discovering asteroid Juno who happened to be sandwiched right between my tight Mercury–Venus conjunction. Of course I was intrigued, but I was deep in the throes of a Pluto transit, so I had …

When in the mindset of reading the horoscope, we access in a different state of mind. This state allows us to be in touch with a peripheral field of information. So what exactly is it we're doing when working with astrology and how does it produce such accurate results? To quote today’s guest, Richard Swatton: “you can’t predict technique – you can…

Cerebral Mercury has entered his shadow period in preparation of his retrograde motion in his Virgo on 23/24 August (depending where on Earth you are). During this time there is a magical Grand Earth Trine forming in the skies, comprising of Mercury–Mars in Virgo, Jupiter–Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn! The whole period is triggered into a…

The time is upon us –once again– to revel in the glory of Venus retrograde. During this period Venus meets with Lilith, Mercury, squares Uranus, and is instigated by a triggering grand-cross configuration with the Sun opposite Pluto both square to the North and South Nodes, all at the 29th “crisis” degree of the cardinal signs. Not so subtle. You w…

Many Moons ago when I was a lost soul seeking understanding of this Earthly realm, I decided to do something completely wacky and outside-the-box: Much to the dismay of my friends and family, I booked a reading with an astrologer – heaven forbid! That astrologer was Mary English and it was the best decision I ever made – it changed my life forever.…

During my recent research into Venus Retrograde, the Barbie movie appeared in my feed labelled ‘feminist icon’. Naturally, my thought process was triggered – particularly with Lilith’s role in Venus’ retrograde period fresh in my mind. Suddenly I found my self in a Barbie-shaped rabbit hole, perfectly pink and full of fascinating symbolism which re…

I was brainstorming the horoscopes for Venus retrograde recently and decided rather than endlessly scribbling my thoughts down it makes more sense to record a short (LOL) session exploring my thought process. Mostly because I can see the story of Lilith playing out: this could be an incredibly powerful time for each of us individually and collectiv…

Rolf Harris was a celebrity artist and musician whose life took a very dark turn. A household name once loved by many, at the height of his career he was commissioned to paint a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. His loveable reputation was irreparably damaged when charges of indecent assault were made against him during Saturn’s time trawling the dep…

On Tuesday May 16th, Prince Harry, Meghan and her mother were in a “near catastrophic” car chase, pursued by paparazzi following the Women of Vision Gala in New York. This is deeply disturbing considering Harry’s beloved mother, Diana Princess of Wales, lost her life in a high speed car chase in Paris while being pursued by paparazzi, on 31 August …

The passing of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth III was viewed on the world stage. As the longest reigning Monarch in history, her son Charles, successor to the throne, must have felt conflicted about his time in the spotlight, knowing it would follow the death of his mother. His time has come, and King Charles III will be crowned at his coronation …

March 2023 has some pretty major planetary transits: Saturn in Pisces on the 7th, and Pluto in Aquarius on the 23rd. Lots of my listeners, viewers and clients have been in touch with concerns about what these major shifts could mean for them and whether it's 'bad'. Having encountered some foreboding astrological predictions about these planetary tr…

Pluto enters Aquarius on 23rd March 2023 and it’s a pretty big deal – the last time he entered Aquarius was 1777, and the next will be 2269! In fact the last time Pluto was in Aquarius, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) – which is the same time measurement as Universal Time (UT) – was yet to be established! Time prior to 1884 was measured in Local Mean Tim…

Saturn enters Pisces on 7th March 2023 which is the first time he’s not been in a sign he rules since 2017. His move into Pisces signals a huge shift which coincides with the ingress of both Pluto in Aquarius and Mars in Cancer – both occurring in the same month (more on these in future shows). Saturn was last in Pisces between May 1993 and April 1…

I felt inspired to discuss family synastry this week. It's not a deep analysis, more of a nudge to get you all to explore your own. It may shed some light on areas of your life where you feel as though you don't fit in with your family, or perhaps highlight a pattern that goes back through generations. As I was inspired by the holistic psychologist…

On a personal update I recorded for my patrons in December, I mentioned that the Sun is on my South Node on Christmas Day every year so I normally have to deal with "South Node stuff". One of my lovely patrons, Julie, asked me if I could explain a little bit more about that. So this week I touch on the Lunar Nodes which are considered a karmic/fate…

I recently watched the Netflix Docuseries: Ancient Apocalypse with Graham Hancock – it wasn’t the first time I’d been introduced to his theories and ideas (I’m an alternative podcast nerd from the mid-noughties) – however, it was the first time I’d taken a look at his birth chart. What I find most interesting is not his theories, but how his mind i…

Billie Eilish has a captivating essence which has fascinated millions of people since her discovery as an artist at the age of 15.

This week I wanted to touch on the fact we're between eclipses, while looking at something pretty major that's finalised during this volatile period: Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter.

This week one of my Patrons asked me about the difference between the 10th house cusp and the Midheaven – a phenomena that presents itself if you use the equal house system in astrology. For some this system is aggravating as it adds an extra point to interpret, for others like myself it adds an exciting added layer of detail about career and vocat…

As eclipse season for the late part of 2022 approaches, I share my thoughts on the symbolism of both eclipses and how I think this will manifest on a human level. It certainly seems as though we have to stand our ground on important matters, but will we alienate ourselves, or switch people on to our perspective? Is the eclipse hitting your chart? T…

I've had an interesting time during Mercury retrograde. It would seem I posted last week's episode up without even uploading the recording!! Anyway, whatever! I have Covid this week and feel very tired. I've had a lot of time to think about my own transits and what they mean for me. But I thought I'd make sure you had something to listen to/watch t…

This week’s episode was recorded a week ago but I wasn’t able to edit and publish it in time because I got ill and so did everyone in my house! Plus I had my presentation for the AA conference so I was really under pressure. I decided in the end to publish this episode for the following week and allow myself some time off to deal with all the press…

I had such a great time talking to Anne Whitaker – we haven’t met before but you’d never guess – our synastry is tangible! Anne has written for Dell Horoscope and also the Astrological Journal, and was kind enough to send me a copy of her brilliant book: Postcards to the Future, Mercurial Musings 1995-2021. Nothing could prepare me for how binge-wo…

We've all heard people using the terminology, but what exactly is the retrograde shadow period and is it exclusive to Mercury? According to astrologers, there is more than one definition for a shadow period and I attempt to clarify this for you all – as Mercury is in his pre-shadow and entering retrograde motion! As this is the case, apologies if I…

This week I decided to explore a listener chart as Karis is having a bit of a difficult time and I thought it would a a good chart to look at and try to shed some light on the planets currently transiting her chart. I also look at her Solar Arc directed chart and her progressed chart – we’ve looked at Solar Arc before but have’t explored progressio…

Following on from last week's episode, the first part of this Spiritual Toolkit segment of TSAP, I decided to try something new and record a guided meditation. It’s by no means perfect but as it’s the first time I sat down to record anything like this for you guys I think I did a pretty good job! It's probably advisable to be in a comfortable and r…

I was inspired to record this week's episode after a conversation I had with a friend of mine who has a Pisces stellium including her Moon. We discussed some cleansing, grounding and protecting techniques that she could use to 'protect' her super absorbent lunar placement. I saw this great quote when sourcing the links for this episode which pretty…

Thank goodness I decided to record this podcast episode in advance – I’ve lost my voice and sound like Lemmy from Motorhead! As explained in today’s episode, I received an email a few days ago which immediately inspired me to record an episode and I just so happened to have the free time. Wonderful! Have you ever noticed yourself fired up and it co…

Prince Harry has always been my favourite royal. When his engagement to Meghan Markle was announced I was intrigued – other than the fact she was an actress on a show called Suits I didn't really know much about her (so of course I did a lot of googling). When cooing about his romance with Megan, Harry stated "the stars were aligned" and he wasn’t …

How has it been TWO YEARS since the launch of The Stellium Astrology Podcast?! So much has happened since then! One of the great things about astrology is the ability to look back over the charts of the past with hindsight. This is a particularly interesting thing to do when looking at Solar Returns (basically birthday charts). During this episode …

Once upon a time on a celebrity reality TV show, two of the UK's cheesiest celebrities crossed paths, and cupid's bow struck them hard. Fast forward to this podcast episode where the celebrities of discussion – Katie Price and Peter Andre – have been married, had babies, got divorced, and somewhere during all this, found time to record a studio alb…

Today's episode took me on a thought journey! My original plan was to stick to a rough structure but I let the mood of the moment carry me into a ponderland of mundane* astrology peppered with moments of synastry and sensory exploration. Yes I went on a waffly one, but listening back it was so much better that I thought it would be (this is always …

We all feel the affects of other people in our lives; the love, the laughter, the stress, the frustration! But other than being aware of others physically and how they make us feel, have you ever wondered if it's possible to hear synastry? It’s an area I’ve been interested in for quite a while as something very magical happens when people collabora…

Just recently I've been binge-watching Stranger Things and I have a bit of a thing for David Harbour. On a Googling spree I discovered he's married to UK pop star Lily Allen. Of course from that point onward my Scorpio Moon and Mercury–Venus square Pluto went into overdrive delving into Lily and David's relationship, discovering lots about them bot…

One of my lovely patrons, Laci C, asked me recently: "Is there any merit to attracting specific signs? Like let’s say all you do is attract air venus’ or air moons? Would you say that means you lack something and should try to focus on those qualities more? Or is that just pop astrology playing with my heart?" I thought this was an interesting ques…
