This lunation arrives alongside Jupiter’s shift into Leo, beginning a year-long cycle of creativity, courage, and heart-led expression, even as Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer, inviting reflection on family, memory, and emotional patterns. With Jupiter completing its final degree in Cancer and Saturn in Aries emphasizing self-leadership and responsibility, this Full Moon asks us to balance forward momentum with reflection, ambition with emotional honesty, and vision with patience. Then, we are joined by Corinna Rosella, a Capricorn herbalist, artist, and community organizer whose work weaves together astrology, tarot, plant medicine, analog photography, and ecological care. Grounded in years of tending both people and place through their beloved Yucca Valley apothecary, Milk Thistle, Corinna shares how the recent closure of the space became an invitation to honor grief, reclaim their identity as an artist, and imagine new forms of community rooted in reciprocity rather than burnout. Together, we explore the Cancer–Capricorn axis as a landscape of ancestry, legacy, accountability, and collective care, as Jupiter completes its yearlong journey through Cancer and prepares to enter Leo. Together we reflect on ecological grief, herbalism as a practice of resilience, and the role of creativity in times of personal and collective uncertainty. We discuss what Capricorn truly teaches beyond its stereotypes: devotion through practical care, sustainable systems, and the courage to face difficult realities without losing hope. We then close with a Whimsical Wanderings channeled message for the collective for the Capricorn Full Moon, where we prepare dandelion root coffee, sew together two tanned hides at sunset, receive guidance from Eartha Kitt, and end with an oracle pull reminding us that healing our future begins with the small acts of care we choose today.   Cosmic Cousins Links Sedna Workshop Cosmic Mix Tape Newsletter Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey  Cosmic Mix Tape Cosmic Cousins Substack Instagram Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III

    Venus + Jupiter Align in Cancer, Chiron at 29º of Aries, Venus enters Leo, Gemini New Moon

    In this week’s episode, recorded under the influence of a rare Venus–Jupiter conjunction in Cancer at 25°, we explore a powerful “wish point” for emotional fulfillment, abundance, and nourishment. We reflect on themes of love, belonging, home, and memory, weaving in the tarot imagery of the Nine of Cups and the larger year-long arc of Jupiter in Cancer as it magnifies both joy and emotional complexity within family systems and chosen kinship. The episode also moves through Chiron’s final days in Aries, highlighting closure and healing around identity themes that have been unfolding since 2018, alongside the shifting landscape of Gemini season, Mercury’s entrance into Cancer, and the emotional rhythms of the waning Moon. Looking ahead, we cover Venus entering Leo, Mercury’s upcoming retrograde shadow, Jupiter’s shift into Leo, and the Gemini New Moon on June 14th. This episode invites you to notice what is completing, what is beginning, and where life is quietly offering you abundance to receive.

    Sagittarius Full Moon: Neo-Catholic Mysticism, Tarot, and Ancestral Fire – Conversation with Sagittarius Cesar Gutierrez

    In this episode, Jeff Hinshaw explores the Sagittarius Full Moon , a luminous culmination in Gemini season that illuminates the dynamic polarity between Gemini’s curiosity and Sagittarius’ quest for truth and expansion. In this episode we weave through the embodied astrology of Sagittarius (connected to the legs, hips) and Gemini’s (hands, lungs), highlighting how this axis teaches us to integrate thought with lived experience. With Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius and Uranus beginning its seven-year cycle in Gemini, we are collectively awakening to deeper truths, breaking ancestral patterns of shame, and reorienting toward more liberated ways of thinking and being. Through personal reflection, teaching stories, and somatic practices like drishti and body awareness, this episode offers a grounded yet expansive invitation to integrate, reorient, and illuminate what is emerging in your life. Then, we are joined by Cesar Gutierrez, also known as Soul Centaur, a Sagittarius astrologer, tarot reader, and devotional spiritual practitioner whose work bridges astrology, tarot and energy healing. Rooted in both Catholic upbringing and spiritual practice, Cesar now identifies as a Neo-Catholic, weaves together devotion to Santa Muerte, intuitive tarot, and lived experience of transformation through loss, identity, and awakening. Together, we explore ancestral reverence, queer spiritual reclamation, what it means to move through Gemini Season and the approaching Sagittarius Full Moon, with Uranus newly in Gemini illuminating themes of duality, perception, and spiritual expansion.   Cesar shares their journey into astrology and tarot beginning in 2018 during a Uranus transit, and how their practice deepened through COVID, personal loss, and the alchemy of becoming “Soul Centaur.” We explore the origin of this name as a fusion of Sagittarius symbolism and lived transformation, and how Sagittarius teaches the art of blending modalities while still staying grounded in discernment. We then close with a Mystical Meanderings journey into the realm of Sagittarius, where we meet a twin reflection in the forest, receive a symbolic toy airplane as expanded vision, are visited by an ancestor musician with a message of resilience, and end with the a tarot pull and a reminder that everything is cyclical.

    Taurus New Moon: Grounding in the Midst of Change

    This episode is just me, Jeff Hinshaw, offering a reflection on the Taurus New Moon and the larger collective shifts we are moving through. I explore how this lunation marks the first Taurus New Moon without Uranus in Taurus since 2019, and what it means to begin integrating years of disruption and innovation around money, the body, stability, technology, and the Earth itself, while Uranus now in Gemini shifts the revolution into language, communication, and perception. I share observations from the collective field around simplification, mobility, and changing life structures, alongside increasing relational and mental intensity as different worldviews meet. From there, I move into Taurus embodiment practices, including a somatic grounding meditation through the body and third eye “bull’s eye” center as a way of reconnecting intuition with physical presence and nature. We also touch on the archetypal image of “The Lightning” from the Marseille tradition of the Tower card and how it reframes disruption as revelation. I also explore how Sedna and the Pleiades are part of this wider collective shift into Gemini, highlighting how mythic and celestial bodies are participating in this reorientation of voice, memory, and perception. Then, we close with grounding reflections for this new cycle.   Workshop Announcement Sedna Workshop: Enrollment opens on Friday, May 1st (Scorpio Full Moon) for a three-hour deep-dive workshop: Topics: Sedna’s myth, altar building, tarot associations (notably, The Hanged One/The Tethered One), astrological significance, personal and collective healing.

    Mutual Reception: Mercury in Taurus + Venus in Gemini – Special Guest Mary Evans

    Mutual Reception: Mercury in Taurus + Venus in Gemini Hey cosmic cousins! On this week of Cosmic Weekly Weather, for the week of May 4–10, 2026, Mary Evans joins us unexpectedly. We light a candle she gifted, and drop into the living ritual of the moment together. Notable Transits of the Week Mutual Reception: Mercury in Taurus + Venus in Gemini Mutual reception is an astrological condition where two planets are in each other’s ruling signs, creating a reciprocal exchange of energy. It’s as if each planet is hosted by the other, so even if they’re not in their most natural placement, they gain support, access, and understanding through that relationship. This often creates a feedback loop where the planets can “help” one another express more fluidly. This week, we are experiencing a mutual reception between Mercury and Venus—meaning they are in each other’s signs, creating a supportive, reciprocal relationship. Mercury (the mind, communication) is in Taurus (ruled by Venus), while Venus (love, beauty, pleasure) is in Gemini (ruled by Mercury). This creates an energetic “infinity loop” or feedback system, each planet strengthening and softening the other. We were likening this specific combo of Mutual Reception to the ‘2 of Pentacles’ in the tarot. Themes of the week include balance, harmony, and learning how to integrate thinking with feeling, and value with curiosity. Mercury in Taurus invites us to slow down, speak from embodied truth, and tend to practical, sensory realities (like finances, food, touch). Venus in Gemini encourages play, connection, curiosity, and finding joy in conversation, collaboration, and “fun in pairs.” Together: where Taurus may feel fixed, Gemini brings movement; where Gemini may feel scattered, Taurus offers grounding. Reflection Questions for the Week: How can I speak what I value? How can I stay curious about what I love without rushing to define it? Song of the week: “Goddess Code” by Lizzie Jeff This track is a mantra for the current astrology and mutual reception of Mercury in Taurus + Venus in Gemini —calling in abundance, friendship, greater alignment, purpose and joy. Lyrics about manifesting finer things, embodying what you preach and traveling with friends. Let this be a soundtrack for pleasure, self-worth, and intentional creation. Cosmic Summer Bundle Special! Purchase my upcoming workshop on Sedna + Iris Oracle deck by Mary Evans and receive two free Mary Evans original beach towels. If you’ve been wanting to deepen into myth, astrology, and intuitive practice, this is a beautiful entry point.
