    Astrology of April 13 – April 19, 2026: Final Week of Aries Season

    This week opens in deep, emotional waters and gradually ignites into bold, initiatory fire. With a powerful blend of Pisces sensitivity and Aries activation, we are asked to surrender, listen, and then courageously act on what we feel.

    Libra Full Moon, Weekly Astrology: March 30 – April 5; Special Guest Celeste Brooks

    The first part of this episode is a reflection on March 30 through April 5, 2026—a sacred window of time where the cosmos invites us into deep embodiment, relational awareness, and soulful recalibration. As we move through Aries season and toward the Libra Full Moon, this opening segment is meant to help you attune to the energetic landscape of the week ahead, grounding you in the planetary movements so you can consciously walk with them—rather than feel swept up by them. Think of it as a threshold moment: a chance to arrive, to listen, and to align your body, heart, and spirit with the rhythm of the sky. We cover: Venus in Taurus Juno in Aquarius White Moon Selena in Virgo Mars in Pisces Then, in honor of the Libra Full Moon, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by magical astrologer Celeste Brooks for a rich and multidimensional conversation that begins with personal myth-making and unfolds into a deep exploration of her chart. Through the lens of Celeste's Taurus Sun, Aries Moon, and Cancer Rising, we trace a story of embodiment, courage, and homecoming, woven with pivotal life transitions, including her shift from a 25-year corporate career into full-time astrology. Together, we explore timing techniques like progressions, the awakening influence of Uranus in Taurus, and the importance of structure in astrological practice, grounding intuitive insight with disciplined study. From there, the conversation opens into the wider astrological landscape of 2026, reflecting on the collective impact of Neptune’s ingress into Aries, the Saturn–Neptune conjunction, and the North Node’s passage through Pisces. Jeff and Celeste weave together advanced techniques, discuss asteroids like Juno, Ceres, and White Moon Selena, and share intuitive practices like Libra Full Moon channeling and tarot symbolism. The episode moves between the cosmic and the personal, inviting you into themes of truth-telling, spiritual compassion, and collective healing, while emphasizing the importance of grounding rituals and tending to the body as we navigate a rapidly shifting world.

    Pisces New Moon: Unreliable Narrators w/ special guest Rochelle Voyles

    On this Pisces New Moon episode of Cosmic Cousins, we begin by arriving in the liminal space this lunation creates—a threshold between the dream that has carried us for over a decade and the new reality beginning to emerge. This is a moment to feel deeply, to notice the currents beneath the surface, and to honor both the surrender and the subtle stirrings of action that this closing cycle invites. Then, Jeff Hinshaw  is joined by Pisces Moon artist Rochelle Voyles. Returning to the podcast for the first time since 2017,  we dive into Rochelle’s solo exhibition Unreliable Narrators that just opened at 81 Leonard Gallery in Tribeca. Through pieces like “Slithering Ruin” and “Defense and Entrapment,” we contemplate nonlinear time, archetypal storytelling, and the duality of distance, and how beauty invites us closer to truths that may otherwise feel unbearable.  Music becomes a co-conspirator in this process, with two songs from Pisces Moon artists Anna Olivia Eve and Lindsey Mills guiding emotional resonance and collective reflection. We reimagine collage as a spiritual technology (one that mirrors astrology, tarot, and memory itself) where meaning is not prescribed but discovered through feeling.  In a closing “Mystical Meandering,” Rochelle journeys through a surreal Pisces Dreamscape, and receives a visit from a crab on the seashores, looks up through a telescope to cloudy skies, and receives ancestral guidance from the Six of Cups and an invocation of healing from past trauma. We seal the episode with reflections on water as conduit, reminding us that to trust the dream, to honor the unseen, and to create from the depths is itself an act of healing, connection, and quiet revolution.

    Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse – Neurodivergent Feminism w/ special guest Bee 'The Zine Witch'

    On this episode, Jeff Hinshaw guides you through a somatic meditation and energy update connected to the Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of 2026—a fated turning point unfolding over months, not just a single night. With the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo, a story that’s been developing for over the past decade begins to crest, inviting release, discernment, and a return to embodied, practical wisdom. Then, Jeff is joined by Double Aquarius, Virgo Rising  Bee—The Zine Witch. Recorded amid a rare eclipse sequence linking Aquarius and Virgo by quincunx rather than polarity, they explore what it means to be cycle-enders. They reflect on collective PTSD, grief surfacing through clients and communities, and Virgo’s sacred task of digestion. Together tracing larger cycles—the 18.5-year eclipse rhythm and the 35-year Saturn–Neptune arc—as thresholds of generational review, asking how we tend the details of our healing while history turns. We also dive into Internal Family Systems with Virgo's esoteric phrase “I am the mother and the child” as a guide. We re-frame astrology as a tool for re-parenting, especially for neurodivergent folks who learned to self-manage and mask in order to survive. In a playful Virgo improv, Virgo stays home to tend to the mundane, receives a protective ward at a threshold, and invokes ancestral courage through shufflemancy with Amy Winehouse—opening a dialogue on feminism, the meaning of the word “Virago,” and embodied service. We close our time pulling the “Fearless” card from the Wild Kuan Yin oracle, Bee offers a candle ritual for courage and protection, sealing the episode with a direct blessing to those stepping into autonomy, reminding us that devotion to healing, detail, and love is itself a revolutionary act. Mentorship & Sessions Cosmic Cousins!  I have openings for one-on-one mentorships for those seeking ongoing guidance and support on their personal or astrological journey. As well as openings for Deep Dive Astrology Readings and Tarot Soul Journey sessions. These are available online, so you can join from anywhere in the world.   Cosmic Cousins Links Newsletter Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey  Cosmic Cousins Substack & Memberships Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III

    Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse – Special Guest Chef Stephanie Shershow

    On this episode, Jeff Hinshaw guides you through a somatic meditation and energy update connectd to the Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse (February 17, 2026), a powerful threshold moment inviting radical freedom, collective liberation, and visionary action. As we stand between major shift, Neptune newly in Aries (since January 26), Saturn entering Aries on February 13, and their historic conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20, we’re asked to merge dream with discipline and take courageous steps toward a new 29-year cycle. With the North Node set to enter Aquarius in July and the Year of the Fire Horse igniting bold momentum, this eclipse offers a preview of emerging collective storylines around collaboration, mutual aid, and shared vision. In addition, on this Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse episode, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by Chef Stephanie Shershow for a conversation on friendship, service, ritual, and soul evolution. We reflect on meeting in India in January 2024 as Pluto entered Aquarius, the karmic bond that formed between us, and the many initiations Stephanie has moved through since—losing her home in a hurricane, the passing of her father, relationship endings, and her cross-country move west. Through it all, she shares how decades of sobriety, Kundalini yoga, and daily spiritual practice have become a non-negotiable anchor. Together we explore the Aquarian archetype of the water bearer—the outsider who returns to nourish the collective—and how Stephanie embodies this through her Aquarius Sun, Taurus Moon, and Libra Rising: the friendly humanitarian in a field of rolling greens, ensuring the revolution is well fed. We also dive into the power of food as ritual and how feeding someone can be an act of dignity and devotion. Stephanie shares stories from her work in recovery centers and her intuitive relationship to nourishment, while we preview our upcoming Aquarius New Moon gathering in Joshua Tree celebrating the launch of the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot. Inspired by tarot archetypes, Morocco, Kyoto, and shared global journeys, the evening weaves together mocktails, cherry blossoms, cacao, music, and collective intention. This episode is ultimately an invocation: to practice radical service, to make meaning through personal myth, and to remember that gathering around food and ritual is ancient. Plus, we celebrate the launch of the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot at  Maha Rose in Brooklyn, New York on February 20 with special guest Lindsay Mack—a gathering aligned with this rare cosmic turning point.   Mentorship & Sessions Cosmic Cousins!  I have openings for one-on-one mentorships for those seeking ongoing guidance and support on their personal or astrological journey. As well as openings for Deep Dive Astrology Readings and Tarot Soul Journey sessions. These are available online, so you can join from anywhere in the world.   Cosmic Cousins Links Newsletter 6-Month Online Fools Tarot Journey Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey  Cosmic Cousins Substack & Memberships Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III
