Energetic Principles - Weekly Astrology & Tarot Podcast

Welcome to this week’s EP podcast on “Pisces Season 2020” - where special guest, Michigan based professional astrologer Spencer Michaud joins me to cover the slew of transits that will be happening in this more than packed Pisces season! We start with some musings on the sign of Pisces and Jupiter’s involvement there and then dive into a chronological account of how we see the transits going down for this year's mutable water season. We also spend a lot of time looking into the tarot correspondences for significant transit placements, which helped pepper in added insight to what this next 30 day period is likely to look like. We are going through a process of emergence, but first, we have to solidify the goop!

Welcome to this week’s EP podcast titled “Let’s Talk Pluto” - where I, Melissa LaFara, host a solo episode by taking on the topic of the Lord of the Underworld and its generational influence through the signs. Inspired by recent social media threads posing the question of if we should even use Pluto in chart work any longer, I decided I want to look at the demoted dwarf planet further in-depth. In this broadcast, I share NASA’s changing view on Pluto’s planetary status, the underlying traits of Pluto in regards to the transpersonal experience, and where I think the Pluto generations (Leo - Capricorn) will carry out their collective destiny. All with the conclusion that we most certainly should be looking at this planet… dwarf or not!

Welcome to this week’s EP podcast on “Trash Astrology” - where special guest, Salt Lake City professional astrologer, author, lecturer, and historian Christopher Renstrom joins me in a discussion on the history of popular astrology and how the art of the stars was mainlined into the public and helped to influence our modern connection with an ancient practice.
