We explore the themes of nurturing, rest, and emotional safety, and I offer reflections on Cancer’s connection to the body, spiritual care, and feeling at home within ourselves. especially with Jupiter now in Cancer, expanding our capacity for intuitive connection and healing over the next year.

This Capricorn New Moon episode marks the first lunation of 2026, inviting a collective pause for reflection, steadiness, and intentional rebuilding. Recorded in the early morning hours of January 18, the episode opens as a ritual space, slowing the breath, honoring embodied resilience, and contemplating the “bones” of our lives: the structures, commitments, and practices that have sustained us over the past decade. Through Capricorn’s themes of devotion, endurance, and legacy, the conversation weaves together astrology and tarot, including the Devil card’s sober invitation to examine where fear, survival strategies, or inherited systems still hold authority over us, and where greater spiritual authorship is being called forth. The episode also offers a deep astrological lens on the rare and powerful Saturn–Neptune transition, as both planets prepare to leave Pisces and enter Aries, culminating in their once-every-36-years conjunction at 0° Aries on February 21, 2026. This threshold signals a profound reset of personal and collective structures, asking us to integrate spirituality with responsibility, vision with action. The New Moon reflection is grounded by an exploration of Capricorn’s sea-goat archetype, blending Saturnian discipline with Neptunian mysticism, and illustrated through the legacy of Alvin Ailey as an example of devotion turned into cultural architecture. The episode concludes in an intimate, ritual-lit space devoted to the Capricorn New Moon and its invitation into devotion, discipline, and long-term vision. Jeff Hinshaw is joined by composer, musician, and dancer Evan Hart Marsh for a wide-ranging conversation at the crossroads of astrology, artistry, and collaboration. Evan shares his unconventional creative path, beginning in music and movement, coming to formal dance training later than most, and ultimately weaving composition, choreography, and collaboration into a singular artistic language rooted in deep listening and care. The conversation expands into embodied listening, ritual, and mythic reflection, including a guided Mystic Meanderings journey with tarot, ancestry, and somatic imagination. Listeners are invited into Evan’s recent works:  a collaborative piece, ‘If You Wanna Come Closer’, that channels industrial transcendence with devotional intensity; the expansive, world-building score for ‘The Ocean World, Act I’ from The Little Mermaid ballet;  and “A Job Well Done” from the short film Yuri;  Alongside reflections on Capricorns Sade and Alvin Ailey, yoga, Ayurveda, and nature as sustaining forces, this episode closes with an invitation to honor one’s foundations, tend to creative and ancestral lineages, and practice embodied listening as a ritual of self-nurturance, especially under the quiet, powerful architecture of a Capricorn New Moon.

Jeff Hinshaw welcomes astrologer and author Lars Stars (Lars Mellis) into an intimate, at-home conversation recorded at Jeff’s home in Palm Springs while Lars’ visits from Los Angeles. The episode opens with a cozy, personal tone (dog underfoot, signed copies of Your Personal Horoscope 2026 freshly picked up from Barnes & Noble( and situates the discussion around reflection and nourishment. Lars shares his background as a certified professional astrologer deeply embedded in the LA astrology community, his Sagittarian-heavy chart, and the vision behind his new book: a month-by-month guide for 2026, complete with a unique totem archetype for each zodiac sign. The conversation moves into a lively rapid-fire round (Lars is the new reigning champion of Cosmic Slip N Slide, answering 13 questions in 60 seconds) and then deepens into the major astrological themes of 2026, which Lars names in our conversation as “the year of confronting reality.” Key transits include the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries, Jupiter’s opposition to Pluto as it enters Leo, Uranus moving into Gemini, and a strong Aquarius–Leo axis emphasizing voice, power, and collective change. Jeff and Lars outline each sign’s 2026 totem—from Aquarius as the Spokesperson to Virgo as the Exorcist—framing the year as revolutionary, catalytic, and demanding honest self-reckoning. The episode closes with invitations to engage the book, reflect on personal totems, and stay connected through community, activism, and shared astrology as the new year unfolds.   Cosmic Cousins Links Newsletter 6-Month Online Fools Tarot Journey Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey  Cosmic Cousins Substack & Memberships Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III

If there is one full moon to stay at home and rest, it's likely the Cancer Full Moon. And lucky for us, 2026 starts out with this nurturing and caregiving energy, that is here to wrap us in a blanket of deep remembering. In the introduction of this episode we explore: Jupiter in Cancer, Chiron in Aries, the Capricorn Stellium, the Venus + Mars Capricorn Cazimi's, and Neptune at the final degree of Pisces.   Then, astrologer Jeff Hinshaw and movement educator, death midwife, and ritualist Anastasia Baratta explore Cancer as the keeper of memory, ancestry, care, and embodied wisdom. Opening with a somatic ritual honoring the Cancer-ruled body, they weave astrology, land-based spirituality, and personal myth-making, reflecting on Anastasia’s Cancer Rising, Aquarius Sun, and Sagittarius Moon as a lifelong dance between freedom and belonging. The dialogue moves through the Cancer–Capricorn polarity, mother/father archetypes, relationship dynamics, and the importance of guiding others toward self-care rather than dependency. Throughout, the Cancer Full Moon is framed as an invitation to come home—to the body, to the land, to emotional truth, and to the ancestral lineages that shape us. A central thread of the episode is grief, soul family, blood family, and healing during Jupiter in Cancer, including stories of profound loss, ancestral visitation, health crises, and acts of care that reveal how growth can arrive through tenderness as much as abundance. Jeff and Anastasia reflect on death through a queer lens and death as a sacred threshold, discussing astrology’s role in understanding the spirit realm, the 8th/12th house, and ritual approaches to dying that reconnect modern culture with ancient practices. Anastasia shares her vision for community-based death care, including the Desert Death Care Network and monthly Death Cafes in Joshua Tree, while both emphasize the necessity of self-nourishment for caretakers and healers. The conversation closes with practical rituals, listener reflections, and an invitation to use the final months of Jupiter in Cancer to honor ancestors, tend home and body, and prepare—individually and collectively—for the times ahead.

In this Year Ahead episode, Lindsay Mack and Jeff Hinshaw explore the following: 2025 Reflections: 2025’s deeply Piscean tone—shaped by Neptune in Pisces since 2011, the Hermit archetype, and themes of grief, waiting, and dissolution. A year of initiation: 2026 is a universal 1 year, aligned with the Magician, Wheel of Fortune, and Sun in the Tarot, pointing to beginnings, clarity, momentum, and reclaimed spiritual authority. Major astrological shift: Saturn and Neptune move from Pisces into Aries, ushering in a fire-driven era focused on action, identity, and leadership. Key February activation: Saturn enters Aries, an Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse coincides with the Chinese New Year // Year of the Fire Horse, and Saturn conjuncts Neptune at 0° Aries—marking the birth of a new cycle of imaginative, embodied leadership. Fire expands through the year: Jupiter’s entry into Leo later in 2026 amplifies creativity, joy, and heart-led visibility. Tarot themes: 2025’s patience and preparation (Hermit, Knight of Pentacles) give way to 2026’s initiators—the Knight of Wands, Magician, Wheel, and Sun—emphasizing bold action and authorship. Long-cycle beginnings: Reflections on 2017 highlight how Magician/Sun years often launch projects and identities that shape an entire nine-year cycle. Working with grief: The episode emphasizes transforming grief into tools, talismans, and creative practices rather than bypassing it. Reclaiming agency: 2026 invites a redefinition of relationship to spirit, community, and collaboration, guided by the mantra “allow your mind to be the wand.” Choose your own adventure: Listeners are encouraged to clear unhelpful patterns, choose aligned collaborations, and ask: What is your tool? What is your name? Who are you ready to become?   Cosmic Cousins Links Newsletter 6-Month Online Fools Tarot Journey Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey  Cosmic Cousins Substack & Memberships Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III

On this weeks' episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw first guides you through a deep dive exploration of the current transits connected to this Gemini Full Moon.  Then, Jeff is joined by one of his cosmic siblings, the incredibly talented Gemini, Mary Evans of Spirit Speak. Together, they flutter into the mutable magic of Gemini through storytelling, curiosity, and duality. Mary and Jeff explore Gemini archetypes across astrology, popular culture, and personal experience, including butterfly symbolism inspired by Dolly Parton’s “Love Is Like a Butterfly.” The conversation also delves into personal and spiritual experiences, from Mary’s childhood encounters with death and spirit guides to reflections on how these formative experiences shape creativity, art-making, deck creation, and teaching. Mary is the founder of Spirit Speak Tarot, and the creator of six tarot and oracle decks, so naturally the conversation also explores tarot and divination.  This includes Temperance and the Lovers, reflecting Gemini’s adaptability, duality, and relational dynamics. She also discusses her work with children and adults through school programs, art workshops, and community-based “Witch Craft" arts and crafts nights, highlighting the spiritual and creative development fostered through art. And towards the end of their conversation, we listen to the song "Oh My God" by Gemini Ryan Allen Gray’s, providing a lens on Gemini themes of queerness, religious trauma and integration of self. Listener questions spark final discussions on fashion as archetypal expression, navigating 2025 as a Hermit Year, and twin/soul-sibling dynamics. Recorded for the Gemini Full Moon, this episode is a playful and illuminating journey through mutable skies, offering insight, inspiration, and guidance for creating in a world of multiplicity. __________________________________________________ The Online Fools Tarot Journey 6-Month Ritual Immersion through the Major Arcana The next evolution of the Online Fools Tarot Journey — a six-month ritual immersion into the living wisdom of the Major Arcana — has arrived!

On this week’s episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by the radiant co-hosts of The Universe Called podcast — Courtney Sauls and Natalie Burtney. Together, we drop into the deep waters of the Scorpio New Moon, exploring its themes of emotional alchemy, intuition, and rebirth — especially poignant as this is the first Scorpio New Moon since Pluto’s definitive arrival into Aquarius. In our conversations we explore  the intersection of astrology, identity, yoga, creativity, and collective change. Courtney shares about her work in I Am an American via Los Angeles and how acting, embodiment, and shadow work weave through her Scorpio Rising experience.  Natalie opens up about her Scorpio Moon and its connection to artistic cycles, trauma-informed yoga, and we listen to a song from her music project with her partner Smoke Red Sun. Together we explore Pluto in Aquarius, the shifting landscape of creative industries, and how breakdown often precedes innovation. We close with Scorpio New Moon practices, from somatic rituals to intentional releasing, along with reflections on yoga, nature, and how to honor transformation in both quiet and cathartic ways. It’s a rich, soulful conversation that I’m so excited to share with you. __________________________________________________ The Brooklyn Fools Tarot Journey 6-Month Ritual Immersion through the Major Arcana The next evolution of the Brooklyn Fools Tarot Journey — a six-month ritual immersion into the living wisdom of the Major Arcana — has arrived! For years, this pilgrimage has unfolded as an intimate passage through the 22 archetypes, guiding seekers into embodied relationship with the tarot’s deepest teachings. This year marks a powerful turning point: for the first time ever, participants are invited to step not only into the role of seeker, but also into the role of facilitator and practitioner. This expansion represents a widening of our circle, a passing of the flame, and an opportunity to carry this sacred storytelling lineage into your own communities. Whether you’ve walked the Fool’s path before or you’re stepping into it for the very first time, you are warmly invited to apprentice yourself to mystery in a whole new way. I’m honored to be joined by two extraordinary guest co-facilitators — Lindsay Mack of Tarot for the Wild Soul and Mary Evans of Spirit Speak Tarot — who will support and enrich this year’s journey with their unique perspectives and magic.

On this week’s episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by Taurus Sun Feng Shui Master and energy healer Gui Hayashi of Healing Home with Gui for a grounded, soulful conversation exploring the Taurus Full Moon and the alchemy of embodiment. Together, we explore the intersection of Taurus and Feng Shui, discussing how activating the five senses opens the sixth — intuition. Gui shares stories from his multicultural roots in Brazil, Japan, and Lebanon, his transition from corporate life into sacred space design, and how rearranging energy in our homes mirrors transformation within ourselves. We also dive into the spiritual and practical rituals for this Taurus Full Moon — from creating ancestor altars and prosperity affirmations to tending the “health sector” of your home and connecting with nature. Along the way, we touch on numerology and the upcoming 11:11 Portal, a gateway to release the old and plant intentions for a new nine-year cycle. This episode is an embodied invitation to slow down, savor beauty, and align your values with the rhythm of the Earth. Tune in for a guided meditation, reflections on emotional embodiment, and an invitation to deepen your journey through the upcoming Brooklyn Fools Tarot Journey Training.  Enrollment opens on 11.11 Big love!   Cosmic Cousins Links Cosmic Cousins Memberships Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey
