This week is quite impressive for Space Weather!

• Saturn Conjunct Neptune in Pisces
• Venus returns as the evening star and forms a gateway activating the Base Chakra
• Planetary parade with Pluto, Mars, the Sun, Mercury, Venus and the Moon all in a line
• Uranus in Taurus
• Jupiter in Gemini

In this episode, we explore the powerful astrological and numerological influences shaping the current moment. We unpack the idea of “astrological space weather” and how these cosmic patterns interact with the energetic themes of the year, offering a broader lens for understanding both personal and collective experiences.

The conversation introduces key foundations, including the Wheel of the Year, an overview of sidereal astrology, and how it differs from the tropical system many people are familiar with. We also look at the role of both personal and generational planets—from Mercury and Venus through to Pluto—and how their movements reflect shifts happening within individuals and across society.

A central focus of the episode is the journey of Venus and its symbolic connection to the divine feminine, alongside reflections on current planetary alignments and what they may signify in this time of change. Themes of societal transformation, the unraveling of outdated belief systems, and the growing importance of personal sovereignty weave throughout the discussion.

We close with an invitation for listeners to cultivate discernment in an era of information overload—encouraging curiosity, self-education, and direct observation as tools for forming grounded, independent perspectives.

Hello beautiful people, every time this year we are inspired to have this conversation, to question why do we hook line and sinker take on the festival of Halloween in October without questioning why?

In this conversation, we explore the cultural significance and historical origins of Halloween, particularly in the context of the Southern Hemisphere where it coincides with Beltane.

We discuss the transition from ancient Celtic traditions to modern celebrations, the commercialisation of Halloween, and the disconnect between seasonal changes and cultural practices.

Our dialogue emphasises the importance of being conscious of traditions and encourages embracing local celebrations that align with nature's cycles.

We hope you enjoy our contemplations and we'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

  Listener Questions

  57:57 Listener Question: What's with Christianity rejecting anything "witchy"? And the belief that the serpent/snake must be cast out.

• 01:03:57 Listener Question: Why does the health services industry as a whole seem as so unaware of perimenopause and its varying presentations. Why it's so mis-diagnosed. Missed. Dismissed. And why there is so little information and genuinely helpful help around this.
