Kosmic Tonic Jasmine Richardson, Eliza Robertson, Kestrel Neathawk

That’s a wrap on 2022. Happy New Year! In this episode, Jasmine, Kestrel, and Eliza unpack the astrology of 2023. With Mercury and Mars both retrograde at the top of the year, we begin on a slow note. But this year has a few huge changes in store. Like, generationally huge. In March, Saturn enters Pisces for the first time in 30 years. (That means if you have Saturn in Pisces, you’re entering your Saturn return. And if you have Saturn in Aquarius, your return is officially ending.) Then Pluto enters Aquarius for the first time since the 18th century. 2023 is all about cultivating supple boundaries with yourself and others and co-creating the reality you want to exist in. Tune in for a detailed breakdown of these transits and more.

In this episode, we invite Vanessa Montgomery on the show to talk about astrology and creativity. Vanessa is author of Star Power, Cosmic Power, and Astro Power, as well as the resident astrologer for Glamour Magazine. Together, we explore how different houses and planets relate to creativity. We also talk about gendering (or not) the planets and "self-objectification theory.” And we discuss art of all kinds, from writing to fashion to pole dancing — as well as what it’s like to be a creator after your Chiron return.

We are thrilled to welcome astrologer, artist, and teacher Kelsey Rose Tortorice to the podcast to discuss human design. Human design draws from several distinct traditions of knowledge, including astrology, the Qabalah, the chakra system, and the I’Ching. The result? A system that offers eerily concrete information on your natural tendencies, patterns, and the ways you can live in greater alignment with yourself. 
In this episode, we go over the main components of human design, including how to live by your specific “strategy” and “authority."  
We talk about what happens when you subscribe to the rules, morals, and projections of other people, and the process of de-conditioning from those conventions. We also explore different patterns of shame and judgment and how to transmute them. 
Kelsey is also offering a discount code to Kosmic Tonic listeners: use the code “kosmictonic” to receive 20% off their course, “Fundamentals of Human Design for the Astrologically Minded."

Loli Moon is a diviner, healer, conjurer, astrologer, and 3rd generation medium. We met Loli on the Missing Witches panel for Imbolc (link below!). We appreciated Loli's wisdom so much we invited her on the show. In this episode, we talk about astrology and the revolution.
Together, we explore: Pluto in Capricorn (entering Aquarius next year), as well as Jupiter entering Aries on May 10th. We also talk about Uranus in Taurus and women returning to the land — and returning to ancient / African practices. 
Other topics include: natal revolutionary signatures, your place in the revolution if you’re a sensitive being, birth as a portal, being an “eclipse witch,” and dream as a way to connect with your ancestors. 
AND SO MUCH MORE. Here’s a teaser: “Collective Spiritual ascension is the same as the apocalypse.”
