Astrology with Andy Andy Bellatti

Sanjaya Malakar (Virgo sun, Capricorn moon, Virgo rising) competed on the sixth season of "American Idol" and, at just seventeen years of age, became one of the most talked-about and controversial contestants in the show's history. Now a 33-year-old man, Sanjaya joins Andy for an in-depth analysis of his birth chart and a look at what is ahead. In this candid conversation, Sanjaya talks about his often-volatile early childhood, his experience as a teenage celebrity in the "American Idol" machine, life "post-Idol," the consequences of instant fame on his personal relationships, why he closed the chapter on being a musical performer, and his transition to working in bartending, high-end pastry cuisine, and horticulture. Sanjaya also shares his experience living in rural Montana as a bisexual person of color. Learn more about astrology and Sanjaya Malakar in this chat & chart episode.

Arissa Hill (Taurus sun, Gemini moon, Capricorn rising) of MTV's The Real World: Las Vegas and various seasons of The Challenge (including season one of All Stars) joins Andy for a birth chart reading and interview. In this candid conversation, Arissa talks about her challenging upbringing that motivated her to make a life of her own at the age of 18, her experience filming The Real World: Las Vegas (including a disturbing discovery that almost paused production one month into filming), what it was like returning to "real life" after being on one of the most watched seasons of The Real World, and how her life path has evolved over the last decade. Andy points out the various innate gifts in her birth chart, which Arissa has recently started to delve into more deeply and, as she puts it, resulted in the death of old Arissa most fans know. Andy also takes a look at the current and upcoming astrological cycles affecting Arissa -- including what Andy describes as the "life-changing" two-year period Arissa is currently navigating.

Iconic scream queen — and model, singer, and author — Linnea Quigley (Gemini sun, Virgo moon, Aries ascendant) joins Andy for a birth chart reading and interview. A true multi-faceted Gemini, Linnea talks about her many careers and interests: acting, singing, animal rights, and even applying to be a Los Angeles police officer! Andy and Linnea also discuss her introverted and shy Virgo moon — and how she overcame its more challenging qualities to grace screens and stages around the world. Lastly, Andy reviews the astrological transits that have been at play in Linnea’s chart over the last decade — and takes a look at what the upcoming landscape looks like.

“The Real World: New York” alum and host of MTV’s “The Grind” Eric Nies (Gemini sun, Taurus moon, Leo ascendant) joins Andy for a birth chart reading and interview. Since gracing the television screens of tens of millions of people around the world in the 1990s, Eric has embarked on a decades-long spiritual journey that brought him face-to-face with his ego and inner demons — and provided an opportunity to heal himself through the powers of Ayahuasca and psychedelic mushrooms (and, in turn, become a shaman and assist others’ emotional and spiritual healing). In this “chart and chat,” Andy and Eric walk through Eric’s birth chart with a focus on his Gemini sun, his many tenth house placements, his Sun-Neptune opposition, his Aries Midheaven, and his South Node in Leo and North Node in Aquarius. Andy also highlights a significant Pluto transit in Eric’s near-future that signifies the beginning of an important new cycle. Learn more about astrology, and Eric Nies, in this latest episode!

This episode's "Big Topic" is synastry (the comparison of two people's charts to see how they affect one another). Andy breaks down three major components of synastry: planetary aspects, house overlays, and midpoints. What do they mean and what, exactly, do they tell you about a relationship? In the "Eye on the Stars" segment, Andy examines the synastry of two very good (and unlikely) friends: Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg. As odd as the pairing may seem, their charts clearly show why they have maintained a solid friendship for so long. In "Ask Andy," a listener wants to better understand what the sun, moon, and Jupiter represent in synastry.

Actress, singer, producer, author, iconic showbiz legend, and — let’s not forget — Miss America 1984 Vanessa Williams (Pisces sun, Sagittarius moon, Cancer rising) joins Andy for a birth chart reading and interview. In this chart and chat episode, Vanessa talks about: the evolution of her trusting, empathic, and helpful Pisces energy over time, how her Sagittarius moon’s hopeful and positive outlook helped her during tough moments, the inner conflict between her emotional Pisces sun and fiercely independent Sagittarius moon, and her experience living with a natal Venus that is challenged by idealist Neptune and restrictive Saturn. In addition, Vanessa talks about her love of travel, the person who served as an inspiration for Wilhelmina Slater, balancing parenthood with a thriving career… and accepts a public apology from Andy. Andy also analyzes the astrological cycles at play during Vanessa’s next two years — which include her second Saturn return and a transit from expansive and abundant Jupiter through her tenth house of career.
