  • UPDATED WEEKLY

STAR/CHILD is all about how astrology shapes us and all our closest relationships. On this weekly reading, get into the family dynamics we’re born into, how be bring those into the families we find and create for ourselves (whatever that looks like), and the relationship we have with our inner child — and how the contours of all of it get brought to light by the week's astrology. It’s about unpacking how we were parented and how that affects every connection in our lives — not just with our kids but with friends, partners, and anyone who feels like family. Each week, we’ll talk through the astrology of the upcoming week and what it means for us and the important relationships in our lives. From decoding a child’s chart to figure out what makes them feel safe and supported, to asking hard questions about how to break cycles and show up better for the people we love — this podcast is about using astrology to make sense of it all. Whether you’re a parent, thinking about your own parents, or just figuring out how to not ruin the people you care about, we're talking to you here.

    Weekly Reading for Feb. 22 - March 1, 2026: Mercury about to station retrograde

    We're in the soupy middle of eclipse season, Mercury is about to retrograde in Pisces, and nothing — literally nothing — in your life is settled right now. Cool. Great. Love that for us. But actually, kind of, yeah. Because this week has this really specific arc that's genuinely useful if you work with it instead of white-knuckling through it. We start Sunday in this pocket of sweetness that feels almost suspiciously good — like the universe handing you a warm drink before it tells you something you need to hear. The middle of the week is quiet on the surface but rearranging underneath, like furniture being moved in the apartment above you at 2 AM. Thursday, Mercury stations retrograde and we officially stop pretending we've been communicating clearly. And by Friday, something electric and kind of feral kicks in — this restless, "I am so f*****g done tolerating the thing that doesn't work" energy that might be the most productive thing to happen to us all month. Key moments of the week: Sunday, Feb. 22: Mars in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries (11:12AM)Sunday, Feb, 22: Venus in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer (3:01PM)Thursday, Feb. 26: Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces (1:48AM)Friday, Feb. 27: Mars in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus (11:20AM)Friday, Feb. 27: Sun conjoins North node in Pisces (12:08PM)Saturday, Feb 28: Mercury conjoins Venus in Pisces (12:34AM)To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

    FEB 16

    Weekly Reading for Feb. 15 - 22, 2026: Saturn & Neptune conjoin

    This is one of those weeks where we would love to tell you it's chill and manageable and that you can just coast through it with your iced coffee and your Spotify playlist and your illusion that you're running this show. We cannot tell you that. This week is genuinely unhinged in terms of how much is happening, and — here's the part that's actually fascinating — the eclipse on Tuesday isn't even the headliner. The eclipse is the opening act. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction on Friday is the kind of astrology that hasn't happened since 1989. And it hasn't happened at this particular degree of the zodiac since seventeen-oh-three. So no, you don't have a frame of reference for this. None of us do. We're all just here, doing our best, with scrambled eggs for brains. Key moments of the week: Mon, Feb. 16: Sun in Aquarius squares Uranus in TaurusMon, Feb. 16: Mercury in Pisces trines Jupiter in CancerTues, Feb. 17: Solar Eclipse in AquariusTues, Feb. 17: Venus conjoins the North Node in PiscesWed, Feb. 18: Sun enters PiscesFri, Feb. 20: Saturn conjoins Neptune in AriesSun, Feb. 22: Venus in Pisces trines Jupiter in CancerSun, Feb. 22: Mars in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in AriesTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

    FEB 12

    Weekly Reading for Feb. 8 - 15, 2026: Saturn in Aries

    This week is a changing of the guard. Saturn is leaving Pisces on Friday — for good this time, not that little summer fling with Aries last year — and Venus is sliding into Pisces on Tuesday to take its place. The energetic difference between those two tenants is almost funny. It's like your most intense, boundary-obsessed landlord finally moving out after three years of structural inspections, and a gorgeous artist moving in with plants and a wine fridge. Same apartment. Wildly different vibe.

  4. Weekly Reading for Feb. 1 - 8, 2026: Full Moon hangover

    FEB 2

    Weekly Reading for Feb. 1 - 8, 2026: Full Moon hangover

    We're coming off a Leo full moon that was, let's be honest, kind of a lot. Full moons are always a lot. Full moons in fire signs are always a lot a lot. And this one had the Sun, Venus, Mars, and Mercury all piled up in Aquarius on the other side, staring it down, while the whole mess sat in a tense square to Uranus. So if this weekend felt like your emotional containment system just... gave up? If you said something you'd been sitting on for six months and then immediately thought "well that's out there now"? Yeah. That tracks. Here's the thing though: full moons are about release. About finishing something, saying the thing, letting it go. And sometimes that's chaos, but sometimes it's just... done. Finally done. Either way, we're starting this week a little hungover from all of that. Not drunk-hungover. Soul-tired. The kind of tired where you slept but you didn't sleep, you know? Key moments of the week: Sun, Feb. 1: Full Moon in LeoMon, Feb. 2: Mercury in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in AriesTues, Feb. 3: Uranus stations direct in TaurusWed, Feb. 4: Venus in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in AriesThurs, Feb. 5: Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in TaurusFri, Feb, 6: Mercury enters PiscesSun, Feb. 8: Venus in Aquarius squares Uranus in TaurusTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

    JAN 26

    Weekly Reading for Jan. 25 - Feb. 1, 2026: Neptune in Aries

    Okay so here's the thing: we've been marinating in a kind of collective fog since 2011. Neptune in Pisces had us all doom-scrolling through our own lives, curating little custom realities, checking out because checking in was just... too much. Boundaries? What are those. Clarity? Couldn't find her. We've spent fourteen years soaking in this soup where the line between fantasy and reality got so blurry that honestly, who even knows anymore what's real and what's just the story we've been telling ourselves to cope. And now that's over. Monday, Neptune enters Aries for good — like, until 2038 good — and it's not a gentle transition Key moments of the week: Mon, Jan. 26: Neptune enters AriesTues, Jan. 27: Mars conjoins Pluto in AquariusThurs, Jan. 29: Mercury conjoins Venus in AquariusTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

    Weekly Reading for Jan. 18 - Jan. 25, 2026: Aquarius season begins

    This week is one long, meaningful, hard-hitting, liberating, game-changing conversation. We’re not being dramatic. Okay, maybe a little dramatic, but also: accurate. We're talking about a week where on any other week, any one of the things happening would be the headline. Instead we've got like twelve headlines fighting for space, and by Friday they're all screaming at once. Key moments of the week: Sun, Jan. 18: Mercury conjoins Mars in CapricornSun, Jan. 18: Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in PiscesSun, Jan. 18: New Moon in CapricornMon, Jan. 19: Sun in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in PiscesMon, Jan. 19: Mercury in Capricorn trines Uranus in TaurusMon, Jan. 19: Sun enters AquariusMon, Jan. 19: Venus conjoins Pluto in AquariusTues, Jan. 20: Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in PiscesTues, Jan. 20: Mercury enters AquariusTues, Jan. 20: Mars in Capricorn trines Uranus in TaurusTues, Jan. 20: Mars in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in PiscesTues, Jan. 20: Saturn in Pisces sextiles Uranus in TaurusWed, Jan. 21: Mercury cazimi in AquariusThurs, Jan. 22: Mercury conjoins Pluto in AquariusFri, Jan. 23: Mars in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in PiscesFri, Jan. 23: Mars enters AquariusFri, Jan. 23: Pluto cazimi in AquariusTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

    JAN 12

    Weekly Reading for Jan. 11, - Jan. 18, 2026: New Moon in Capricorn

    This is our last week of Capricorn season, and somehow it feels like both an eternity and not nearly enough time—which is extremely on brand for January, the month that somehow manages to be twelve months long while also flying by. We've been doing so much work in the Capricorn part of our charts. Like, Mars has been there since December doing its exalted little "I'm gonna build something" thing, Venus just finished its cazimi moment, and now we're being asked to commit. To actually decide what we're building and who we're building it with. Key moments of the week: Sun, Jan. 11: Venus in Capricorn squares Chiron in AriesMon, Jan. 12: Sun in Capricorn squares Chiron in AriesTues, Jan. 13: Mars in Capricorn squares Chiron in AriesWed, Jan. 14: Mercury in Capricorn opposes Jupiter in CancerThurs, Jan. 15: Venus in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in PiscesThurs, Jan. 15: Venus in Capricorn trines Uranus in TaurusFri, Jan. 16: Mercury in Capricorn squares Chiron in AriesSat, Jan. 17: Venus in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in PiscesSat, Jan. 17: Venus enters AquariusSat, Jan. 17: Sun in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in PiscesSat, Jan. 17: Sun in Capricorn trines Uranus in TaurusSun, Jan. 18: Mercury conjoins Mars in CapricornSun, Jan. 18: Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in PiscesSun, Jan. 18: New Moon in CapricornTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

    JAN 6

    Weekly Reading for Jan. 4, - Jan. 11, 2026: The cazimi of it all

    This week is as Capricorn as it gets, and it’s kinda the best week of the year for getting shit done and laying the foundation for our future (which sounds dramatic to the point that it can’t possibly be true, except it really just…is true this time). We have the Sun, Venus, Mars, AND Mercury all crammed into the same sign, and that kind of stellium doesn't mess around. Every personal planet we have is sitting in sky daddy's house right now, wearing sensible shoes and asking pointed questions about our five-year plan.
