[5:27 ] Mercury squares Uranus on Wed. Sep. 3 (12:40 AM PDT) at 1°27’ Virgo- Gemini.  If you've been looking for a breakthrough in any project you're working on, it will probably show up today.

[7:06 ] The Moon squares Mars on Wed. Sep. 3 (4:19 am PDT) at 17°31’ Capricorn-Libra. There’s a high probability of waking up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

[7:30 ] The Moon opposes Jupiter on Wed. Sep. 3 (5:50 am PDT) at 18°19’ Capricorn-Cancer. Grumpiness is in the air and this transit can make mountains out of molehills. If you can get through the morning unscathed, the rest of the day looks productive and inspirational.

[7:57 ] Interview with Psychological Astrologer, Margaret Gray. Check out Margaret’s first appearance on the podcast in Episode 142.

[9:55 ] What is Psychological astrology?

[12:10 ] How is Psychological astrology different from conventional therapy?

[16:05 ] What kind of training or certification should we expect of someone who calls themselves a Psychological astrologer?

[17:38 ] How might a typical Psychological astrology reading differ from a regular astrology reading?

[19:53 ] What do you think regular astrologers should do when we find ourselves in an intense consulting situation?

[24:09 ] What are some helpful astrological tools that come from the Psychological branch of astrology?

[25:57 ] What would an astrologer get from Chiron that they are not getting from other planets?

[31:04 ] Resources for people at the beginning of their journey of learning more about Psychological astrology: Howard Sasportas, Liz Green, Melanie Reinhardt, Erin Sullivan, Lynn Bell, Marcia Ferreira, Alejo López, Yvonne Smith Tarnas, and Barış İlhan. (April also got a very kind shout-out, but she is not technically a Psychological astrologer.)

[33:20 ] Margaret can be reached at Relationshipsandastrology.com. Check out Margaret’s Centre for Relationship Astrology and the new program, Astrology of the Heart. Alex Trenoweth was mentioned.
