In today’s episode Cory is joined by astrologer Camille Michelle Gray to tease out the many facets of this eclipse season, which happens to define this year’s Aries season. They discuss the relationship between the naked desire of Aries and the intellectual accoutrements of Libra, how we develop our sense of worth and agency, and all the ways we might manipulate the feedback we receive in our relationships.This eclipse season is heavily toned by planets in Pisces, and the eclipses themselves are ruled by Venus and Mars in Pisces. This adds an enormity of sensitivity, idealism, and confusion surrounding bold actions we may want to take at this time. As if that weren’t enough, Mercury retrogrades through Aries during this season, adding more heat, demands, and (seemingly) urgent communications. The asteroid Chiron in Aries is also deeply influential in this series and points to places that could use some healing, especially around topics of force, conflict, and basic existence.Towards the end of the show they answer some audience questions:-What is the role of fate/free will in astrology and during eclipse season?-How are the Aries-Libra eclipses different from the Taurus-Scorpio eclipses we just had?-What are some recommended practices for this eclipse season, including helpful media to consume?Transits covered include:Vernal equinox 3-19Mars enters Pisces 3-22Lunar eclipse Libra 3-25Mercury stations rx 4-1Venus enters Aries 4-5Total solar eclipse Aries (conjunct Chiron) 4-8Mars conjoins Saturn in Pisces 4-10Mercury cazimi 4-11Media mentioned:The Will to Change by bell hooksPoor Things by Yorgos Lanthimos (spoiler alert)CAMILLE MICHELLE GRAY: Camille is an astrologer, musician, writer, civil servant from Washington, D.C. To her, Astrology is a marriage of the human condition with the cosmic condition. As above, so below.  As below, so above. Over several years, she has seen hundreds of clients and has built a practice that celebrates that connection to the cosmos. Her consults are steeped in the soulful concepts & archetypal poetry of Evolutionary Astrology & are informed by the technical & traditional techniques of Hellenistic Astrology.Camille on InstagramCamille on XCamille's WebsiteThe Show: The Cosmic Dispatch | Instagram | Newsletter The Creator: Cory Nakasue | Monthly Horoscopes | Instagram The Keeper of the Questions: Mandee Sheeler | Moon Report | Instagram
