Astrology Chat with Patrick Watson
In episode 357 astrologers Patrick Watson and Chris Brennan answer some questions about astrology from listeners of the podcast, and discuss some miscellaneous astrological topics, ranging from understanding significant transits to the meaning of planets in detriment.
We start the episode by talking about how we met on an astrology forum in 2005, and our experience going from being the youngest astrologers at events to becoming solidly middle aged astrologers.
Then we begin with a discussion on the hidden but significant ways in which eclipses and other transits can manifest, and then eventually answer some questions from listeners.
We recorded this episode together in the studio in Denver while Patrick was here to record a new course we are creating on rectification.

Gemini in Astrology: Meaning and Traits
In episode 356 astrologers Camille Michelle Gray and Nicholas Polimenakos join the podcast to talk about the meaning of the zodiac sign Gemini in astrology, and some of the traits and characteristics of people born with that sign prominent in their birth chart.
Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac, and it is a masculine or diurnal sign, mutable, airy, and ruled by the planet Mercury.
This is the third in a series of episodes where we do a deep-dive into each of the signs of the zodiac, one per episode, in order to really understand their core meaning and significations.
Camille and Nicholas’s credentials for this episode are that they both have prominent Gemini placements in their birth chart. Camille has Mars in Gemini in the first house, and Nicholas has the Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Gemini.
During the course of the episode we talk about various keywords and traits associated with Gemini, and also look at some birth charts of famous people who were born with different planets in that sign.
Some of the keywords we discussed were drawn from a Twitter survey:

Transiting Eclipses in Astrology
Episode 355 astrologer Chris Brennan leads a workshop on how to understand the meaning of transiting solar and lunar eclipses based on where they fall in your birth chart, with a group of astrologers sharing stories of their past experiences.
This is a recording of a meeting of the Denver Astrology Group that took place on May 14, 2022 at the Mercury Cafe, a couple of weeks after a solar eclipse in Taurus, and the day before a lunar eclipse in Scorpio.
It was a followup to another meeting we did in 2019 that was released as episode 215 titled Interpreting Eclipses in Your Birth Chart, where we demonstrated how to interpret eclipses based on which houses they fall in your birth chart, and then attendees shared stories of eclipses in their lives.
For this meeting attendees were instructed to go back and watch the recording of that last meeting, and then come to this one prepared to share stories of how eclipses had worked out for them in the past.
Here is a handout that shows what signs the eclipses fell in from 2004 through 2025:

June 2022 Astrology Forecast
In episode 354 astrologers Chris Brennan, Austin Coppock, and special guest co-host Catherine Urban look ahead at the astrology of June 2022.
The astrological forecast for June begins with Mercury coming out of its retrograde and stationing direct in Taurus, while squaring a stationary Saturn in Aquarius.
Later in the month there is a Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 14, and a New Moon in Cancer on June 28.
Mid-month, the mood shifts after Mercury’s return to Gemini, when we get four planets in their own domiciles: Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Saturn.
We open the episode by talking about the recent eclipses and other world events, and then transition into talking about the forecast for June.

Taurus in Astrology: Meaning and Traits
In episode 353 astrologers Mo and Pao of the Fixed Astrology Podcast join me to talk about the meaning of the zodiac sign Taurus in astrology, and some of the traits and characteristics of people born with that sign prominent in their birth chart.
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, and it is a feminine or nocturnal sign, fixed, earthy, and ruled by the planet Venus.
This is the second in a series of episodes where we do a deep-dive into each of the signs of the zodiac, one per episode, in order to really understand their core meaning and significations.
Mo and Pao both have Taurus placements prominent in their birth chart. Mo has her Taurus Sun and South Node in Taurus, and Pao has Taurus rising with the Moon in the first house.
During the course of the episode we talk about various keywords and traits associated with Taurus and also look at some birth charts of famous people who were born with different planets in that sign.
Some of the keywords we discussed were drawn from a Twitter survey:
