Taurus Season 2024 featuring The Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction
Breaking Free and Liberating Power
In this episode of The Cosmic Dispatch Cory Nakasue and Nate Speare cover the major transits of Taurus season. They give special treatment to one of the biggest transits of 2024, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. Disruptive change, rebellion, and power to masses are discussed at length, as well as experiential reflections on the sign of Taurus.
In the second part of the show, Nate and Cory discuss Nate’s work with astro-erotics, a course informed by archetypal psychology, astrology, bodywork, psychomagic and theatre/performance art. He has an upcoming workshop! They weave in Taurus themes of sensation, pleasure, and embodied knowledge.
In the third part of the show they are joined by Mandee Sheeler and the three of them discuss their Taurus placements and the experience of having Uranus and Jupiter transit them. As usual, Mandee shares Taurus-themed audience questions which produce some really deep meditations on astro consultations, Chiron, and the ego’s need to attach to “good” or “bad” outcomes.
Transits covered include:
The sun’s ingress into Taurus 4-19
Jupiter-Uranus conjunction 4-20
Multiple aspects to Pluto 4-21 through 5-17
Full moon Scorpio 4-23
Mercury’s station direct 4-25
Taurus ingresses: Venus 4-29, Mercury 5-15
Mars conjoins Neptune 4-29 and enters Aries 4-30
New moon Taurus 5-7
Uranus conjunctions: 5-13 sun and 5-18 Venus**
**There is also a Jupiter cazimi that takes place on 5-18 as well, that we did not cover. Apologies. There is so much going on in the sky! But May 18th is a day to circle on the calendar. Astro nerds, check it out!

In today’s episode Cory is joined by astrologer Camille Michelle Gray to tease out the many facets of this eclipse season, which happens to define this year’s Aries season. They discuss the relationship between the naked desire of Aries and the intellectual accoutrements of Libra, how we develop our sense of worth and agency, and all the ways we might manipulate the feedback we receive in our relationships.
This eclipse season is heavily toned by planets in Pisces, and the eclipses themselves are ruled by Venus and Mars in Pisces. This adds an enormity of sensitivity, idealism, and confusion surrounding bold actions we may want to take at this time. As if that weren’t enough, Mercury retrogrades through Aries during this season, adding more heat, demands, and (seemingly) urgent communications. The asteroid Chiron in Aries is also deeply influential in this series and points to places that could use some healing, especially around topics of force, conflict, and basic existence.
Towards the end of the show they answer some audience questions:
-What is the role of fate/free will in astrology and during eclipse season?
-How are the Aries-Libra eclipses different from the Taurus-Scorpio eclipses we just had?
-What are some recommended practices for this eclipse season, including helpful media to consume?
Transits covered include:
Vernal equinox 3-19
Mars enters Pisces 3-22
Lunar eclipse Libra 3-25
Mercury stations rx 4-1
Venus enters Aries 4-5
Total solar eclipse Aries (conjunct Chiron) 4-8
Mars conjoins Saturn in Pisces 4-10
Mercury cazimi 4-11
Media mentioned:
The Will to Change by bell hooks
Poor Things by Yorgos Lanthimos (spoiler alert)

Pisces Season 2024: Personalizing the Co-Presence of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces
Some alternative titles for this episode included: “The Wisdom in the Suck,” “You’re Over it Because it’s Over,” and “Reality and Illusion: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together.” All joking aside, this Pisces season is a murky, heavy wall of fog, with the crackling energy of disruption trying to break through.
Today, Cory is joined by astrologers Mandee Sheeler and Jillian Sweeney to talk about the ways that the big transits of the season might register in our personal lives. This episode is especially good for anyone with personal planets or angles in Pisces, people with strong Saturn-Neptune signatures, and people with strong Aquarius-Taurus signatures.

Topics discussed:
Saturn/Neptune conjunctions to natal suns/moons in PiscesThe Saturn-Neptune story for the next two yearsTransposing the traditional significations of Saturn and NeptuneFact, Dis(Illusion), and ProjectionOverwhelm, Malaise and EntropyEmotional Engulfment and Self-ParentingThe Organic-Synthetic, the Human-Machine, and Sustainable Designs for the future/collective

Aquarius Season 2024, featuring Pluto in Aquarius: Outsider Culture, The Interconnected/Fragmented Mind, Relationship Anarchy ...and more.
Hey Everybody, I’m excited to share this incredibly Aquarian conversation I had with Anastasia Wasko earlier this month. I felt that I had to put SOMETHING together for this milestone Aquarius season, and I think we found ways in, out, around, and through all of the exciting transits of the next four weeks.
We talked outsider culture, marginalization, decentralization, peer pressure, being the asshole in the room, dissenting, distance, objectivity, and how distance and objectivity can lead to greater care for ALL humans, an Aquarian take on mental health, parapsychology, psychosynthesis, neurodivergence, the interconnected mind, relationship anarchy, extended cognition, technology, media, Uranus, Saturn, and what happens when your license plate reads “UFO GIRL”
Transit coverage includes:
Sun-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn and their ingress into Aquarius 1/20
Mercury-Pluto conjunction 2/5
Mars-Pluto conjunction 2/14
Venus-Pluto conjunction 2/17
Full moon Leo (opposite Pluto, square Jupiter) 1/25
New moon Aquarius (square Uranus) 2/9
It’s an Aquarius season for the books! And speaking of books, Cory’s are open! She’s beginning booking for March. Please book through her website.
This conversation is up on The Cosmic Dispatch YouTube channel and on all streaming platforms in podcast version.
