Episode 55: Astrology for the Week of December 29th

The Smart Witch Podcast ·

2024/12/30

In this week’s episode, we’re unpacking the astrology of the last week of 2024 (and the first week of 2025) — and there’s a lot to discuss! We have a tense Mars-Pluto Opposition mid-week (activating dormant resentment and general and unrest), but a stabilizing New Moon on Tuesday makes this the perfect week to set intentions for the next 12-month cycle.

The Smart Witch Podcast ·

2024/12/23

In this week’s episode, we’re unpacking the astrology from December 22nd — December 28th, 2024. We begin the week with a lovely sextile between sensual Venus and complex Chiron, a gentle invitation to feel seen, known and accepted. Mid-week, we have our second square of the year between Jupiter and Saturn, a larger influence promoting many of us to restructure our boundaries and/or our ability to be spontaneous (and possibly bringing up themes from August of this year. ) Later in the week, Mercury

Episode 53: Astrology for the Week of December 8th

The Smart Witch Podcast ·

2024/12/09

This week, we have a number of supportive transits although the chatter amongst the planets remains quiet. We have the sun trine Chiron on Tuesday — a supportive opportunity for a moment of healing and confidently engaging with activation — and later in the week, Venus opposes Mars retro and forms a sextile to Mercury (whose also currently retrograde.)

Episode 52: Astrology for the Week of December 1st!

The Smart Witch Podcast ·

2024/11/30

In this episode, we’re unpacking the astrology of the week of December 1st, starting with a pragmatic yet productive New Moon in Sag on Sunday, squaring Saturn and trine vivacious Mars. It’s a climactic week for Mercury Retrograde — the Trickster God stations direct on December 15th, but much of the mayhem is likely to happen THIS week if it’s going to. With the Mercury Jupiter Opposition, exact on Wednesday December 4th, our words hold weight this week, and information circulates rapidly (and

2024/11/24

In this episode, we’re breaking down the astrology for the week of November 24th, starting with Mercury turning retrograde on Tuesday the 25th until December 15th in Sagittarius. Mid-week, a challenging Venus transit to Chiron actives our core wounding around our sense of self-worth, relationships and/or finances, but a supportive sun/Mars trine provides the energy and empowerment we can lean into to navigate it. Over the weekend, we have the final days of the moonwane — aka the Dark Moon. First in

Episode 50: Astrology for the Week of November 17th

The Smart Witch Podcast ·

2024/11/17

This week is a MOMENT! Pluto enters Aquarius on Tuesday, marking the climactic beginning of a new era which brings us into 2044 (if you’re feeling a little anxious or uneasy this week, you’re not alone. The first few months of Pluto in Aquarius will be challenging — the Underworld God opposes Mars on and off through May of ‘25, leading to turbulence and tension — but as Pluto gets settled later in the year, the intensity will start to dissipate!) On Monday, we have the first of three oppositions

2024/11/10

In this episode, we’re diving into the astrology for the week of Sunday, November 10th to Saturday the 16th of 2024. Venus enters stately Capricorn for the month and on Tuesday, Mercury squares Saturn in the shadow of their retrograde (and just as Saturn prepares to move direct on Friday, coinciding with our first post-election FM on the 15th.) Friday’s Uranian Full Moon intensity carries us into the weekend with an Opposition between the Scorpio Sun and Uranus in Taurus, stirring restlessness and a

The Smart Witch Podcast ·

2024/11/03

In this episode, we’re discussing the astrology for the week of Sunday, Nov 3rd. This includes a tense opposition between Mars and Pluto, stirring conflict and building momentum toward something to be developed more fully in the spring of 2025. Mars moves into Leo until January, shifting the dominant element in the cosmos from primarily water to fire, and Venus forms several aspects this week including a supportive trine to Chiron and an opposition to Jupiter (plus a square to Neptune later in the

2024/09/25

We’re trying something new this week! In this episode, I’m breaking down the astrology from Wednesday the 25th to Tuesday October 1st, transit-by-transit. We’ve got Mercury Opposite Neptune casting a veil of mental fog over the week, but thankfully, Mercury trine Pluto brings intuitive insight and psychic-level tracking skills. We finish the weekend with a burst of clarity and illuminating dialogue with Mercury conjunct the Sun on Monday the 30th, and if you have to deal with a Saturnine dilemma,

In this episode, we talk about the moon in the birth chart by aspect to the inner and outer planets.

The podcast is back! In this episode, we’re unpacking the energy of today’s Solar Eclipse and the upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28th, breaking down their respective astrology and the astrology of eclipses generally. We discuss how to work with eclipses from the modern witch’s perspective as well as what their role is astrologically, and in the latter portion of the episode I teach you how to determine where these eclipses are happening in your birth chart and whether they’re forming

2022/06/12

In this episode, we discuss the technique of tapping/EFT as an emerging (and highly effective!) witch’s healing/creation/wellness tool. We discuss how to tap/why it works, how to use it in conjunction with other tools and, most importantly, why it’s worth adding to your existing toolkit.

In this week’s podcast episode, I go through the astrology highlights relevant from February 16th — March 2nd (including a thorough exploration of the Leo Full Moon, this week’s steamy conjunction of the Cosmic Lovers and a fun Uranus/Jupiter sextile!) We finish the episode with my crystal recommendations for the Leo Full Moon and a very short interpretation of Justice, which I pulled as our collective guide for this full moon.

Episode 41: The Five of Swords

The Smart Witch Podcast ·

2021/05/28

In this episode, we dive into the Five of Swords of the tarot — comparing it to the other fives, breaking down the different ways it can show up, and discussing real examples of how the energy expresses itself. In addition to the usual interpretations, I argue that the Five of Swords is actually an important card for teaching self-love and personal integrity, and can even serve as a relationship cleanser and deepen the relationships in our lives that are worth continuing to nurture.

Episode 39: Ask a Witch ~ Bad Astrology, Fear v....

The Smart Witch Podcast ·

2021/04/11

In this episode, I address three listener questions, including where there is such a thing as “bad” natal astrology (are any aspects or placements inherently ill-fated? Should you fear getting your birth chart interpreted?), how to tell the difference between fear or anxiety and intuition, especially after pain or trauma, AND how to deal with post-spellwork boredom or malaise, why it’s actually a GOOD thing to feel this (as opposed to anxiety or attachment to outcome) and how we can actually use our

In this episode, we break down the different terms which refer to manifestation (mainly, setting a “goal” versus setting an “intention.”) We discuss what these words mean and how their processes are fundamentally different, and how each approach to manifesting is uniquely powerful and preferred depending on the respective desire or area of life concerned. We then discuss HOW to set goals and/or intentions this Creation Season to ultimately upgrade every area of your life (and become a badass

The Smart Witch Podcast ·

2021/03/25

In this episode, I give my thoughts on a listener’s question of how to direct creative energy into specific projects. We talk about why I think the phrase “creative energy” is slightly redundant, whether or not creativity is something we can always access, and the ideas we develop about what our relationship to our creativity “should” look like which are often counterproductive and unrealistic.
