Astrology & Stuff

Thanks for being Here!Gemini season is here and happy! Taylor, who is also a Gemini Sun/Libra rising friend and client (same as friend Roxanne from last time), shows us what happens when Air and Fire come together - all the Love, all the Light, as well as a heady courage that fuels our abilities to take on the world, one smile at a time. (Seriously, her smile is megawatt- see for yourself on her Insta).Taylor Kowald is a woman, a mother, an actress, a meditator, and an all around passionate person moving through the world! She likes to stay curious and find the magic in the mundane. Astrology has been a great tool for her on her awakening journey, and she can't wait to keep discovering more in the most playful ways possible.As for me, my June books are open, and I am so excited to be launching a new offering very soon - Safe Space: Easy Classes for Hard Subjects. Safe Space is a multimedia digital space for easeful practice and curious peeks into all the transformation that is taking place in our Root centers. This is where the evolution of our stories around money, sex & love, illness & healing, and reparenting all begin. We're all doing so much of that right now, I wanted to provide an additional space for softness and self-love. Safe Space goes live very soon!Also, come check me out on Patreon, where we have weekly Transit Talks, monthly Q&A's, and every New & Full moon we have practice-oriented livestreams. Come play with us!

Hey, thanks for being Here!This episode treats us to a conversation I had with my friend and practitioner Roxanne Starnik. This is a Gemini/Libra-fueled convo, as there aren't many subjects we don't gleefully cover, and we finish almost all of them (my fault, not hers)! We discuss the fundamental importance of synchronicities in life, the necessary place for Pause, what it's like to have a Cancer moon and dumb guides, the abundant grace of the Gene Keys, and the absorbing magic of Small Nature. Roxanne Starnik is a guide for the tender-hearted, the spiritually itchy, and the creatively uncontainable. She weaves music, mysticism, intuitive voice work, and the Gene Keys into a warm, subversive kind of medicine - one that doesn't fix you, but invites you back to yourself. Her podcast Pause Portal holds space for strange beauty, gut-truths, and the kind of laughter that comes only after crying. Roxanne believes in the transformational power of the pause and that intimacy is a form of time travel. Her work lives at the crossroads of tenderness and truth-telling, inviting people into deeper relationship with the honest, often contradictory rhythms of being alive.She can be found on Instagram: @Roxanne.StarnikPlease go visit her beautiful website: roxannestarnik.comDon't miss her on Patreon or at Pause Portal, where she releases episodes of wisdom on the Gene Keys transits.

Thanks for being Here!What a fantastic way to open Season 2- with a conversation about the transmutation that happens within our deepest selves, and the inherent creativity, beauty and liberation that resides there. As I've said before, this season is all about harmony, connection, and the relationships between our inner desires and their external manifestations. Going on this journey with us today is the inimitable Ms. Themis. Ms. Themis is an artist dominatrix, decadent disciplinarian, and distinguished keeper of the sacredly enslaved. She uses Domination as a pathway to soulful liberation and employs the art of BDSM to expand somatic sensation and self-awareness through bringing etheric fantasy into embodied reality, cultivating subtle spaces of deep and nourishing s u r r e n d e r...Her personal BDSM journey started as a submissive and her studies of KMRT® kundalini entrainment as well as schooling with a collection of world-renowned Dominatrices form the foundation of her unique expression of this ancient ant intimate art form.She can be found on Instagram: @houseofthemisas well as her website: www.houseofthemis.coIf you would like a bigger and badder experience of Astrology & Stuff, head on over to the PatreonWe're also on InstagramAs always, so much love, and thanks for being Here!

Welcome back and thanks for being Here! Astrology & Stuff is returning very soon - with guests! I am so excited to get to share some of my favorite people with you. Each episode, they will share with us their own personal stories of astrological embodiment - how they relate to their astrology, and how the language has enabled them to connect with themselves as authentic individuals, as well as develop more enriching lives. I wanted to have these specific folks on because they have been such an inspiration to me at one time or another in my life, but mostly because they, as well as their stories, are deeply, impossibly interesting! So stay tuned!You can find much, much more over on the Patreon. We have weekly episodes based on the present astrological transits, as well as practice-oriented livestreams twice a month. Come join us!You can also find me on Instagram and TikTok.Love you all!

Thanks for being Here! This is an episode from the Patreon, and as such it is different from the usual Astrology & Stuff episodes that I record and edit, as it's a bit more abrupt/raw. About halfway through recording it for the Patreon, I decided that I wanted to hear from a wider audience about this particular subject. Welcome to the family! ;)In this episode, I try to take a critical look at the subject of "Spiritual Bypassing." The concept and practice specifically, but also the general culture from which it has emerged. It's been my intention to do this in as coherent and logical a way as possible, but as I state in the beginning, this particular a-ha has only recently presented itself, I"m still gathering vocabulary to make it a bit more linear. Have fun trying to keep up lol. CW: I reference, but do not describe, familial and ritualistic abuse as they relate to the Satanic Panic. If you would like to weigh in on this subject, please do so! Simply follow this link to my Patreon page, where you can join as a free member, then find the episode in the feed, and comment to share your perspective/experience. Hope to hear from you!Want to work one-on-one? I offer services in personal astrology, Human Design, and KMRT®, you can find out more at my website. And sometimes you can find me lurking on Instagram...I reference to more resources regarding moral panics, the Satanic Panic, and psychology/therapy culture of the 70s, 80s, and 90s: The amazing podcast You're Wrong About, created by my amazing friend Sarah Marshall.

Thanks for being Here! This episode continues the mini-serious of planetary embodiment- or, how we can help bring all this astrology down to Earth a bit. Today we discuss Jupiter, Saturn's partner in teaching us the fundamental laws of universal reality. What does it feel like to move through a Jupiter transit? What forms can expansion take in living a conscious life? What happens when we conflate expansion with capitalism? These light and fluffy questions and more are discussed.Love the show?

Thanks for being Here! In this minisode we take a quick-yet-deep dive into some possible mechanisms of our natal astrology- i.e. how our astrology actually expresses itself in our lives, with an emphasis on the "how." Today we focus on the Sun - planetary embodiment for creative self-expression - and where it sits in our chart. In doing so, we may divine clues as to which types of paths our creative fire prefers as it moves through and out of us. You can learn more about me and my offerings at my website, as well as my Insta. And come check out the sweetest and smartest astrological community in these here parts on my Patreon!

Thanks for being Here! Here is another transit-specific episode, taken straight from this week's Patreon-exclusive Transit Talk. I didn't anticipate the Pisces-centered transits of this week to go so hard, but there it is. I also dive a bit deep into the significance of my Soulful Doula sessions, which is always fun for me :) As with all of these Patreon episodes that I make available to the public here on the pod, I'm a bit more casual in my delivery, and there's a bit less polish, editing-wise. Want to book a session in March? Head on over to my site! There you'll find some fun options- natal chart and transit sessions, Human Design, astrocartography, and the above-mentioned Soulful Doula work. And if you haven't checked out the Patreon yet, it's so much fun. What a great community! We're gearing up for this month's open Q&A episode, so if you have some Q's, go check it out. And of course, you can always find me on the Gram. Love you all, and again, thanks for being Here.

Thanks for being Here! This episode is a bit topical, but not really. Pluto has been on every astrologer's mind for quite a bit, and I'm no exception. This episode was recorded a mere few days before Pluto moves into Aquarius, and actually settles down there (with the exception of a few weeks in late 2024) until the 2040's. As we dive into the greater significance of Pluto, we explore the relationship the planet has with Mars, the mechanism of the Unconscious and how it relates to the body and human life, and how Capricornian values naturally evolve into Aquarian ones. This one is a two-parter, and goes deep :)

Thanks for being Here! I've opened the Patreon vault for y'all just in time for tonight's Cancer full moon. If you can't listen before the moon, no worries, we will be benefitting from this transit for the next six months (moonths?). There's a lot of re-parenting going on this week, as well as welcoming in a greater sense of maturity and authority around spiritual evolution, and being in general. In short, if you want off The Healing Train, you're not alone, and it may just be time to pick a different ride altogether...Curious about what I do, or want to book a session?

Thanks for being Here! This episode begins a new series all about bringing the astrology a bit more down to Earth- and for that, we ironically need the planetary bodies. Today we discuss what Saturn is "in charge of," how they show up in our charts and lives, and what it may feel like in our bodies to move through a Saturn transit. Love the show?

Thanks for being Here! Today's journey/mild rant into the Astroverse takes us into the subject of all things eclipse: Season, energy, etc. Without giving too much away, I do my best to argue that most eclipses...aren't that big of a deal, astrologically speaking. And with eclipse season underway, perhaps we can benefit from being a bit more choosy with where we point our attention/intention/energy! Interested in being a guest on the pod? I'm looking for guests who have a connection to astrology in general, their own astrology in particular, and a desire to talk about it with me in public lol.

Thanks for being Here! Wowzers, Penny, there is some fire in the atmosphere, and it's not just because its summer in the South! I was about halfway through recording this week's Patreon-exclusive Transit Talk when I realized this info was just too juicy not to share. We've got major empowerment, major clarity, major (r)evolution vibes. I promise I will be back next week (read: probably the week after) to continue our journey through those all-powerful Retrogrades, so hang tight! Also, be on the lookout at my website for some exciting new offerings!Want in on this sweet transit action each and every week? Go check us out on Patreon.Slide into my dms on Insta. Nerding out not necessary, but it is appreciated.

Thanks for being Here! So, just what in the Gay Hell is a retrograde?! How does it work? Why do they happen? Should we even pay attention? In this first retrotastic episode, I do my best Miley impression and talk about the why's, wherefores, and hows of this incredible time to be alive :)

Thanks for being Here! Here's a bit more about the impending (at the time of this recording) Nodal ingress of Aries and Libra. But first, we begin to say goodbye to Taurus and Scorpio. What can we expect from this transit? What have we learned/gained from the last one? Does it even matter?! (that last question typed as I remembered that we will be experiencing 8ish planets retrograde all at the same time very soon).Like the show? Perhaps you would like to support!Check out my offerings or book a reading hereFind me on Insta

Hey thanks for being Here! This week we dive into an upcoming transit- that of the lunar nodes (North Node and South Node) moving from the signs of Taurus and Scorpio into Aries and Libra, respectively. This is a 90-minute recording that felt like 45 minutes, so get ready for a lot of information coming your way! Check out my offerings here.And then maybe head to my Insta.Support the Pod on my Patreon!I talked about Jeffrey Wolf Green a bit...as well as Deva Green.Still yammering on about Josh Schrei's The Emerald Podcast...and I mention one of his amazing guests, Báyò Akómoláfé.

Thanks for being Here! In today's episode, we definitely explore the "and Stuff" part of "Astrology and Stuff." And I love it. I take you through some major resources that have come my way over the past year (!) to help formulate a growing cohesiveness of my experience in "Embodiment."

Thanks for being Here! My gawd it took a minute, but finally we can wrap on my natal chart. The vulnerability is not sitting well per usual, but damn there's a lot of juiciness here! Let me know what it opens up for you!Book a sessionFind me on Insta

Thanks for being Here! This week holds another Very Special Episode, all about this week's Sagittarius Full Moon and even more about Jupiter in Taurus. In typical Jovian fashion, Jupiter is once again hogging the spotlight. Thanks for your patience as I have had a few very hectic weeks, and my energy has just not been aligned with producing the third and final installment to my own natal chart composition. Things should be back to normal next week, whatever normal is. ;)In the meantime, you can find me:at my Website:on Instagramand my PatreonLove you all!
