Episode 9

In this podcast, professional astrologers Chani Nicholas, Thea Anderson, and Eliza Robertson look to the sky to make sense of what’s happening here on Earth.

This episode brings you into the astrological group chat to talk through how recent transits (read: the Mars–Uranus conjunction, the Full Moon in Capricorn, and Mars’ ingress into Gemini) have shown up in the collective — and specifically, the US presidential election. Covering everything from the Trump assassination attempt to Biden’s decision to bow out, Kamala Harris’ “brat” summer, and the parallels between the upcoming DNC and the historic DNC of 1968, we look at how these key astro events have manifested IRL and could continue to play out.

Plus, we give you homework to get involved. After the episode, check out the work of Seed the Vote and the Working Families Party, take action with the Uncommitted National Movement by calling on Harris to do the right thing and end Biden’s disastrous policy of arming Israel’s ongoing genocide and occupation in Palestine, and support grassroots candidates and organize around down-ballot voting in the upcoming election.
