S2E22 | Gemini Season: The Power of the Question (full moon prep)Today, Cory and astrologer Mandee Sheeler discuss the power of "the question," Gemini's power tool. In a couple of week's Cory will discuss the art of "the question." More than any absolute truth, or correct answer, our lived experience depends on what, how, and why we ask; something to consider as we prepare for a full moon next week.Today is also an audience question show! Mandee selected some questions that have to do with personality tests and philosophy. Ask a different question, become a different person. Ask a different question, live a different truth. If life has no inherent meaning, maybe our only job is to create meaning with rich, textured and exciting questions.This week's astro-weather includes: the sun's square to Saturn, Jupiter's conjunction with the north node, and Venus' trine to Neptune.Questions answered in this episode:What are your thoughts on “personality tests” and where/how does astrology fit into them? I have always struggled to get the same answers on personality tests… would something like astrology maybe be more helpful? I feel so out of the loop not knowing my myer briggs or enneagram type.  What is the point of “philosophy”? Is it possible to over philosophize or intellectualize the human experience? We love answering your questions! Each full moon episode features questions from the audience.

She explores these transits in light of astrologer Michael R. Meyers work on the phases of Mercury and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.

Topics include the nature of fixed water, the ubiquity of death, emotional blocks, and what eclipses feel like in the body.Questions answered in this show: Can we flesh out fixed water? Water is fluid, how can it be fixed? I’ve heard it described as a river, a waterfall and an iceberg…What does that look like in a person or situation? There’s this idea that “mini deaths happen all the time”.... What are your thoughts about that and how has astrology informed your thoughts? I have heard people almost boast about this idea that they “can’t” or “don’t” cry. Do you feel there are unintended negative consequences to this resistance? Have you noticed astrological signatures that speak to someone resisting the urge to cry?Can we discuss the difference between solar/lunar eclipses - in real life? How do each manifest on the earth plane?The show airs live on Radio Kingston in Kingston New York every Sunday at 4pm est.

Something that sounds better than "mid-life crisis?? - KRScorpio Sun/Aries Rising and Aries Sun? Compatible? What do I need to know? -MTAny advice for dating a Gemini sun/Virgo Moon/cancer rising? -ABI have never really felt any physical attraction towards anyone. I am a 34 year old cis-het man and I feel like an alien around my dude friends. They have all settled down and had kids now. It's getting to the point where it's "weird" that I haven't and I don't really know what to do or even really say about it. I have had girlfriends in the past, but it's really always been just because I thought that's what I was supposed to do. I can enjoy myself during sex, but it's hardly ever on my mind and every relationship I have had has ended because I wasn't able to satisfy my partners sexual needs. It would be nice to have a companionship but I'm not sure how to go about that. I haven't seen many alternative relationship arrangements in my smaller Midwest big city. I've done a little digging into my own chart but I'm curious what you think. I have Mars in Aquarius in my 12th house inconjunct Venus in Virgo in my 7th. Thank you for considering my question. - JW I'm wondering if there is a connection the LGBTQ movement relating to this "age of Aquarius" thing. Thanks. -LLThe show airs live on Radio Kingston in Kingston New York every Sunday at 4pm est. The show is then re-broadcast on KMWV 98.3fm in Portland, Salem & Eugene Oregon at 7pm pt.

It was sudden but also an itch I'd been investigating for the last 15-20 years. My question is what advice do you have for this new state without alienating people? I can explain it but most I talk to cannot relate or they label it wrong. I'm not saying I'm 100% liberated, probably more like 80-85-90% 😀. But fear disappeared, making decisions unburdened from self-doubt, even the attraction to drugs/alcohol has lost its power. Your show is v inspirational and consistently thought-provoking.” - KH"What's the best thing to look for in an astrology chart to best understand what kind of self-care is best?" - JN"What is one way to remediate Leo full moon energy?" - NP“I have an Aquarius sun. I have heard many things about what this Pluto transit could mean for me, most of it has been intense and made me a little nervous… Any advice?” - MSYou can read Cory’s Monthly horoscopes here. A full version of Mandee’s moon report and prompts can be found here. The show airs live on Radio Kingston in Kingston New York every Sunday at 4pm est.

Season 2 Episode 4 - Aquarius Season: Freaks, Conformists, and Prismatic VisionCory starts this episode with an invitation for listeners to take a moment and come up with one thing they can do to help us move on from violence, help ease suffering, or help to shift the paradigm. This week Cory introduces Aquarius season with a little Aquarius 101, music, and the weekly astro-weather. This week's big transits include Uranus' station direct, Venus' conjunction to Saturn, Venus' ingress into Pisces, the Aquarius new moon phase, and a Mars-sun trine with the sun squaring the lunar nodes. This week starts off with big Saturn energy, but Cory reminds us that's not all that's on the menu for the week ahead.  Spotify PlaylistAquarius New Moon Playlist:Rebel Girl - Bikini KillPeople Are Strange - The DoorsI Want to Conquer the World - Bad ReligionUtopia - GoldfrappWeird Science - Oingo BoingoChildren of The Revolution - T.

Season Two, Episode Three: The Many Faces of Saturn: Elders, Somatics, and MythopoeticsThe astrology of the week ahead covered in this episode is Mercury’s station direct in Capricorn and the sun’s annual conjunction with Pluto (also in Capricorn). There’s some weight or meat to the energy this week. While it’s not always fun, Cory invites listeners to use this time to befriend the Pluto process. During the second part of the show Cory is joined by astrologer Nate Speare for a conversation about all things Saturn. Cory and Nate discuss the Saturnian archetype, Capricorn, Aquarius, somatics, age and elderhood. We also hear more about Nate’s consulting practice, which includes mythopoetics and astro-erotics. Nate Speare (he/they/firebird) is an astrologer, vocal artist, storyteller, mythologist, and educator based in Brooklyn. Nate began their public astrological journey as Montgomery Taylor’s teaching assistant at the CG Jung Institute of NYC (at the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism). Nate’s background in avant garde performance, experimental voice work, bodywork & mythopoetics shape their experiential approach to astrology. For years they’ve led therapeutic storytelling circles, in settings ranging from public schools to Rikers Island to the United Nations. Two key threads in their astrological practice include Astro-Erotics- a tool for using the chart to deepen into relationships & sexuality- and Ancestral Patterns in Astrology, a journey into the wounds & gifts of ancestry. They strive to aid everyone who works with them in the journey toward pleasure, beauty, integrity, myth & magic. Nate directs Mythopoetic Astrology, a consulting practice that integrates experiential therapy, astro-drama, body work, sound healing & counseling. Nate is a certified Urban Tantra practitioner, a student of the Wheel of Consent and holds a MFA in Contemporary Performance. Clients have described working with Nate as “working with an artist and magician into a journey of depth, transformation and self-compassion.
