Description

STAR/CHILD is all about how astrology shapes us and all our closest relationships. On this weekly reading, get into the family dynamics we’re born into, how be bring those into the families we find and create for ourselves (whatever that looks like), and the relationship we have with our inner child — and how the contours of all of it get brought to light by the week's astrology.

It’s about unpacking how we were parented and how that affects every connection in our lives — not just with our kids but with friends, partners, and anyone who feels like family.

Each week, we’ll talk through the astrology of the upcoming week and what it means for us and the important relationships in our lives. From decoding a child’s chart to figure out what makes them feel safe and supported, to asking hard questions about how to break cycles and show up better for the people we love — this podcast is about using astrology to make sense of it all. Whether you’re a parent, thinking about your own parents, or just figuring out how to not ruin the people you care about, we're talking to you here.

This week feels like the sky breaking a glass bottle just to watch it glitter. Everything sharp, loud, and alive—Venus leaves her socialite villa in Libra and moves into Scorpio’s swamp, Mars trades his Scorpionic sniper rifle for a flamethrower in Sagittarius, and Mercury is already doing donuts in the parking lot before deciding to spin backward. There’s a full Moon in Taurus midweek that tries to keep us grounded, like, “touch some grass, please,” but even that’s happening while Mars and Uranus are throwing firecrackers across the mutable air-fire axis. It’s messy. But it’s the kind of mess that reminds you you’re in motion. You’re building something new out of what used to be structure. This is renovation season—not metaphorically; emotionally, mentally, logistically, everything’s under renovation.Key moments of the week:Sun, Nov. 2: Venus in Libra opposes Chiron in AriesSun, Nov. 2: Venus in Libra squares Jupiter in CancerMon, Nov. 3: Mars in Scorpio trines Neptune in PiscesTues, Nov. 4: Mars enters SagittariusTues, Nov. 4: Mars in Sagittarius opposes Uranus in GeminiWed, Nov. 5: Full Moon in TaurusThurs, Nov. 6: Venus enters ScorpioThurs, Nov. 6: Mars in Sagittarius sextiles Pluto in AquariusFri, Nov. 7: Venus in Scorpio squares Pluto in AquariusFri, Nov. 7: Uranus (retrograde) enters TaurusSat, Nov. 8: Sun in Scorpio trines the North Node in PiscesSun, Nov. 9: Mercury stations retrograde in SagittariusTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app
This New Moon carries the ghost of an ending. It’s the closing chapter of everything we’ve been sorting out in Libra season — how we show up for other people, how much we give, what we get back, and whether our relationships (romantic, familial, professional, parental — all of it) are still aligned with who we are now. Some of that balancing act is done. Some of those negotiations are over. This week, the astrology moves us from the theoretical part of that process into the actual consequence of it.Key moments of the week:Mon, Oct. 20: Mercury conjoins Mars in ScorpioTues, Oct. 21: New Moon in LibraWed, Oct. 22: Sun enters ScorpioWed, Oct. 22: Neptune (retrograde) enters PiscesThurs, Oct. 23: Jupiter in Cancer squares Chiron in AriesFri, Oct. 24: Sun in Scorpio squares Pluto in AquariusFri, Oct. 24: Mercury in Scorpio trines Jupiter in CancerSat, Oct. 25: Mercury in Scorpio trines Saturn in PiscesTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

This week is about control: the ways we reach for it, the ways it slips through our hands, and the ways we convince ourselves it’s a noble act when it’s really just ego in a better outfit. Monday’s Full Moon in Aries drags something to the surface that’s been brewing since spring, the kind of emotional laundry day where you suddenly realize half your resentment pile belongs to you. And Mercury sliding into Scorpio on the same day? That’s your brain turning into a crime lab. Everything gets dissected, decoded, autopsied for truth. Which would be great, except the truth might not want to be found through cross-examination. This whole week is one long test in discernment: when is “following your gut” just intuition doing its job, and when is it you trying to manipulate reality into agreeing with your storyline? Spoiler: you’ll know by how exhausted you are.Key moments of the week:Mon, Oct. 6: Mercury enters ScorpioMon, Oct. 6: Full Moon in AriesTues, Oct. 7: Mercury in Scorpio squares Pluto in AquariusWed, Oct. 8: Venus in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in CancerSat, Oct. 11: Venus in Virgo opposes Saturn in PiscesTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app
Mercury's about to peace out of Virgo, Venus is ditching Leo, Mars is limping through Libra, and we're heading straight into our second eclipse of the season. This is that specific flavor of exhausted where you're simultaneously done with everything but also weirdly ready to burn it all down and start fresh. It's giving "confidence camel heading into the desert of uncertainty" energy, which sounds insane but is actually exactly right.By the end of the week, three personal planets plus the Sun will all be in new signs. The vibe goes from spreadsheets and checklists to negotiations and optics, from maximalist Leo romance to Virgoan maintenance love, from Mercury’s red pen in Virgo to its scales in Libra. The whole story is: you can’t keep doing it the old way, and you definitely can’t keep doing all of it.Key moments of the week:Mon, Sept. 15: Venus in Leo sextiles Mars in LibraTues, Sept. 16: Venus in Leo trines Chiron in AriesTues, Sept. 16: Mars in Libra opposite Chiron in AriesWed, Sept. 17: Mercury in Virgo opposes Saturn in PiscesThurs, Sept. 18: Mercury enters LibraThurs, Sept. 18: Mercury in Libra opposes Neptune in AriesFri, Sept. 19: Venus enters VirgoFri, Sept. 19: Mercury in Libra trines Uranus in GeminiFri, Sept. 19: Mercury in Libra trines Pluto in AquariusSat, Sept. 20: Venus in Virgo squares Uranus in GeminiSun, Sept. 21: Sun in Virgo opposes Saturn in PiscesSun, Sept. 21: Solar Eclipse in VirgoTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app
This week starts with an eclipse on Sunday and is mostly about learning how to be steady while the ground’s wobbling: keep the soup on the stove, the calendar elastic, and trust that the clarity you’re waiting for shows up on Saturday like a knife finally slicing clean through the knot.Key moments of the week:Sun, Sept. 7: Lunar Eclipse in PiscesWed, Sept. 10: Sun in Virgo opposes the North Node in PiscesThurs, Sept. 11: Mercury in Virgo opposes the North Node in PiscesFri, Sept. 12: Mercury in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in CancerFri, Sept. 12: Sun in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in CancerSat, Sept. 13: Mercury cazimi in VirgoSat, Sept. 13: Sun in Virgo conjoins Mercury in VirgoTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app
Alright, everybody lock in. Remember months ago when Saturn was like "I'm going to Aries!" and then immediately was like "actually, wait, I forgot something in Pisces"? Well, Monday it's officially going back to check its work. This isn't Saturn being indecisive - it's Saturn being Saturn, making sure you actually did your homework from March 2023 instead of just shoving it under your bed and hoping no one would notice.And because the universe has a sense of humor darker than mine, we're also getting a lunar eclipse in Pisces on Sunday. So while Saturn's like "let me just review your rough draft," the eclipse is like "cool, but also let's emotionally purge everything you've been avoiding since early last year." It's giving group therapy session meets tax audit, but make it cosmic. At least Mercury's entering Virgo on Tuesday, so our brains will be sharp enough to handle whatever emotional debris we're about to excavate.Key moments of the week:Sun, Aug. 31: Mercury in Leo trines Chiron in AriesMon, Sept. 1: Saturn (retrograde) enters PiscesTues, Sept. 2: Mercury enters VirgoWed, Sept. 3: Mercury in Virgo squares Uranus in GeminiWed, Sept. 3: Jupiter in Cancer trines the North Node in PiscesThurs, Sept. 4: Mars in Libra squares Jupiter in CancerSat, Sept. 6: Uranus stations retrograde in GeminiSun, Sept. 7: Lunar Eclipse in PiscesTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

Leo season starts this week, which means we're entering that time of year where we're supposed to figure out who we are, except this time Mercury's already retrograde in Leo so we're doing it with half our brain offline. It's like trying to have a personality crisis while your mental browser has 47 tabs open and they're all frozen.After spending the last nine months getting our asses handed to us by various planetary configurations that made us look at all our defensive patterns and power struggles, we're finally at the part where we actually have to integrate all those lessons. The universe is basically like, remember all that shadow work you did? Time to actually change now. And we're like, cool cool cool, except everyone in our life is used to the old version of us and now we have to have awkward conversations about how we're different now.The week opens with Mars sitting on the South Node while Venus squares the whole situation, which is astronomical speak for "your growth is about to make your relationships weird." Because here's what happens when you change: everyone has opinions about it. Some people are going to be genuinely supportive and update their mental files about who you are. Others are going to act like you personally betrayed them by evolving. It's going to be a whole thing.Key moments of the week:Sun, July 20: Mars in Virgo opposes the North Node in PiscesMon, July 21: Venus in Gemini squares the North Node in PiscesTues, July 22: Sun enters LeoWed, July 23: Venus in Gemini squares Mars in VirgoWed, July 23: Sun in Cancer sextile Uranus in GeminiThurs, July 24: New Moon in LeoThurs, July 24: Sun in Leo trines Saturn in AriesThurs, July 24: Sun in Leo trines Neptune in AriesFri, July 25: Sun in Leo opposes Pluto in AquariusTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app
This isn't your standard retrograde clusterfuck. This is more like realizing you've been speed-running a major life transition since March and now someone's asking to see your work. The spring was a whirlpool of identity crisis when Mercury and Venus were retrograde together while Saturn and Neptune were literally changing signs. Now we're in the summer slowdown, except it's less "lazy river" and more "mandatory performance review of your entire sense of self."Key moments of the week:Sun, July 13: Saturn stations retrograde in AriesFri, July 18: Mercury in Leo sextiles Venus in GeminiFri, July 18: Mercury stations retrograde in LeoSat, July 19: Sun in Cancer squares Chiron in AriesSun, July 20: Mars in Virgo opposes the North Node in PiscesTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

This week is prepares to jinx us all pretty quiet by 2025 standards, but that doesn’t mean it’s a throwaway week. Sometimes we just get a week to play catch-up with all the changes that are happening — and that often comes with at least one punctuating moment to remind us just how deeply we’re in the middle of change.Key moments of the week:Sun, June 29: Mercury in Leo opposes Pluto in AquariusFri, July 4: Venus conjoins Uranus in TaurusFri, July 4: Venus enters GeminiFri, July 4: Neptune stations retrograde in AriesSun, July 6: Venus in Gemini sextiles Saturn in AriesTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app
Since today's astrology is both super special and extremely layered, we ended up with our longest daily rundown ever (by far) — and we thought we'd make it available to everyone. If you want a deep dive into what today's Jupiter cazimi plus tomorrow's New Moon in Cancer mean on both personal and collective levels, here you go.
Listen, we said Jupiter in Cancer would be a year of abundance and healing and all that good shit, but if we’re being honest, the first two weeks were hot trash — but not this week, baby. This week, we get to see what Jupiter in Cancer (an objectively wonderful transit) has going for it, finally.Key moments of the week:Sun, June 22: Sun in Cancer squares Saturn in AriesSun, June 22: Mars in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in CancerMon, June 23: Sun in Cancer squares Neptune in AriesTues, June 24: Jupiter cazimi in CancerTues, June 24: Mercury in Cancer squares Chiron in AriesWed, June 25: New Moon in CancerThurs, June 26: Mercury in Cancer sextiles Uranus in TaurusThurs, June 26: Mercury enters LeoThurs, June 26: Sun in Cancer sextiles Mars in VirgoThurs, June 26: Venus in Taurus sextiles the North Node in PiscesFri, June 27: Mercury in Leo trines Saturn in AriesSat, June 28: Mercury in Leo trines Neptune in AriesSun, June 29: Mercury in Leo opposes Pluto in AquariusTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app
