Magic Of The Spheres Podcast

I had a conversation with Téo Montoya of Human Design Readings about human design, which is a channeled system that offers people insight into their unique makeup and strategy for life.If you haven’t heard of Human Design, you can look up your human design chart at jovianarchive.com . This episode is directed at people new to human design or anyone who just wants more perspective on the human design aura types: human design is a fairly complex system and in this episode we focused on the basics of the different types - generator, manifesting generator, projector, reflector, and manifestor. So if you don’t already know your human design type, you can go look it up at jovianarchive.com.. and maybe dive down a research rabbit hole after this episode!Téo Montoya is a Lipan Apache(Ndé) Writer and Human Design Analyst. He was first initiated into the Human Design system 7 years ago by his mentor Jagruti,  who was taught by and worked with the Human Design founder Ra Uru Hu. In 2019 Teo launched his HumanD

We’re making magic this week when we engage with the generation of novelty. The Sun enters Gemini, and all of our exact transits this week (save for a Mars-Uranus sextile at the end of the week) involve aspects to the Sun, Mercury, and Venus which are all in Gemini, and we’ve got a New Moon in Gemini! Not only this, but there is a stellium of Venus, Mercury, fire and temple priestess Vesta, and the North Node of the Moon in Gemini. This translates to poet-priestess-magician energy flooding the planet this week, and we can tap in by doing something magical with our word.✨

Arakai Moon and I have a conversation about daily self-pleasure

Fellow astrologer Maren Altman and I speak about creativity, and really creativity at a deeper level - beyond a specific project or the categories that creativity fits into like art-making, but creativity in terms of what it is cosmologically. We spoke of the process of actualizing one’s life and following one’s excitement as a kind of creativity. We also speak of how we, as fractals of the cosmos, participate in the expansion of the cosmos through our creative 'offspring' of all kinds.Maren Altman is an astrologer living in New York City as she finishes her undergraduate degree at New York University. Her practice centers around combining ancient traditional Hellenistic techniques with modern psychological counseling dynamics in order to provide practical guidance to her clients. She is interested in the long-term research of astrology as learning about the structure of reality, and she has plans to combine her astrology with her path of Philosophy graduate school in order to become a cosmological thoug

I’m excited to bring you a conversation I had several weeks ago about the astrological centaurs with an evolutionary astrologer who specializes with the centaurs, David Leskowitz. We discussed Chiron, Pholus, Chariklo and Okyrhoe. Chiron is the most well-known of these, but even so it’s worth exploring Chiron deeper than the keyword “wounded healer” - what does that really mean?I loved learning more about the centaurs and also feeling the energy of the centaurs directly in the conversation. David and I share a perspective that the archetypes are not just abstract ideas but beings. Pluto for example, is one of the archetypes I do the most work with. In my way of looking at it, Pluto is both a concept and a being. Venus is a concept, and a being. So it was a real pleasure to talk with someone whose like an intermediary between us and these beings, these centaurs - someone who has really spent time with them. I think you’ll find that David has a door-opening perspective on these centaurs.David Leskowitz works at

Cello Carpenter-Pierce and I discuss the astrology associated with social distancing, isolation/solitude, and some thoughts for working with isolation.Cello is a queer astrologer who uses astrology to help anchor and make sense of life.

Diana Rose and I discussed the language we use in astrology (especially concerning Hellenistic/traditional concepts like “exalted”, “detriment”, “fall”, or the strength or weakness of a planet) and unpacking the layered meanings involved here in terms of connotation, how these words are misinterpreted, and what these words are more earnestly pointing to. We discussed how the astrological concept of essential dignity can be a tool for meaning-making, confronting personal challenges, and discovering how to connect with our inherent resources that our chart points to. We also talked about the connection between notable people and how they tend to be intensely embodying their natal chart, the twelfth house, and archetypes Diana’s been connecting with lately!Diana Rose is an astrologer, tarot reader, reiki master, writer, & workshop facilitator currently based in Los Angeles, California, and serving clients worldwide through the magic of the internet.

I spoke with Jeddy Azuma, men's mentor and fellow podcaster, of the Rising Man podcast. I find his voice particularly soulful and see him as someone who is full of aliveness in his path. I also find him to be consistently sharing poignant ideas on his podcast and instagram, and have been especially touched by his reflections on creating safety for women. I invited him on the show because I wanted to learn more about what men’s work is & discuss some philosophy around it like what are we talking about when we say masculine and what kind of impact men's work can create.As a newly minted college grad and healthcare professional, Jeddy soon began to experience the pain of having no sense of higher purpose or meaning in his life. A life-changing run-in with the law and his own deep personal reflections sent him on a 3,000 mile journey across the country to discover meaning.From silent meditations to fasting in the wilderness for 4 days and nights, Jeddy discovered the importance of men’s circles and Rites of P

I had Becca Tarnas back on the show to discuss the planetary combinations of Mercury after we last discussed the planetary combinations of Venus.

I interviewed Kirah about her research on the astrology of the Millennial and Gen Z generations (astrologically we’re looking at Pluto in Scorpio and Pluto in Sagittarius) as well as how these generations interact with the older generations, or the generations that their parents are part of. This conversation gave me so much to think about and I think you’ll find it illuminating as well! Whether you are part of these generations or witnessing those who are, it’s so cool to get the perspective of how the outer planets correlate with generational themes. This astrological lens to perceive cultural trends creates a lot of insight.More about Kirah - Shakirah of The Strology and NFLUX Mag is an astrologer, writer, and creator.
