Ryan, Lisa, and Alexander close out their introductory series by getting personal about their craft: what drew each of them to astrology, how their own teachers and birth charts shaped their work, and what a session actually looks like when it's built around growth instead of prediction. They trace the difference between fatalistic and humanistic approaches, explore why conscious engagement with a moment matters more than knowing what's coming, and touch on what family constellation work and indigenous wisdom can teach us about structuring society. The conversation turns to the Barbault Basket, a rare alignment of four outer planets forming in July 2026 that some call a turning point for the collective, and what André Barbault's track record suggests it actually signals.

Ryan, Lisa, and Alexander dig into the astrological story of 2026: a rare minor grand trine between Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, three outer planets that have all recently changed signs at the same time. They trace the history of each planet's discovery and the revolutions that followed, explore the Barbault Basket forming in July 2026, and discuss why this moment represents a 500-year marker in collective human evolution. The conversation also touches on the soul energies of the outer planets, the difference between prediction and conscious participation, indigenous wisdom as a counterweight to Western paradigms, and what it really means to be a humanistic astrologer. Curious, wide-ranging, and grounded in lived experience.

Astrology Off the Charts is a podcast hosted by three professional astrologers: Alexander Mallon, Lisa Hagenbuch, and Ryan Barrett. As friends, lifelong students, and deeply curious humans, they explore astrology as a living language for understanding the self, relationships, and the patterns that shape a life.

Astrology is the lens they use to explore the human experience. The show is grounded in a humanistic and consciousness-based approach. Rather than chasing predictions or fixed answers, the conversations lean into reflection, meaning, and how people grow through lived experience.

If you've ever felt that astrology points to something deeper than your Sun sign, or wondered how the planets might speak to the texture of your life, you've found your podcast.
