2024 Year Ahead Horoscopes for Each Zodiac Sign
In episode 431 astrologer Chris Brennan presents a set of year ahead horoscopes and astrology forecasts for all twelve signs of the zodiac for the entire year of 2024.
Timestamps for each sign are available on the podcast website.
This is meant to take some of the general transits that we will talk about in our big year ahead forecast and personalize them, by discussing them within the context of each sign.
I would recommend listening to the zodiac sign that matches your rising sign, although you can also listen to your Sun and Moon signs as well.
These horoscopes were originally made for YouTube and do contain some visuals, so I would recommend watching the video version if you can.

2024 Year Ahead Astrology Forecast
In episode 430 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock discuss the year ahead astrology forecast for 2024!
Some of the highlights of this year include Pluto moving into Aquarius for the next 20 years, the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Pisces coming within 10 degrees, and Jupiter conjoining Uranus in Taurus.
Jupiter will also move into Gemini where it will trine Pluto in Aquarius, there will be eclipses in Aries, Libra, and Pisces, Uranus will form a close trine with Pluto, two comets will appear in the sky, and Mars will go retrograde in Cancer and Leo.
We spend the first two and a half hours giving a big picture overview of all of the major planetary alignments and trends in 2024, and then we transition into giving a more granular month by month breakdown of the astrology of the next year.
As we wrap up, we ponder the historical significance of the decade and the astrological markers that suggest we’re at the cusp of a new era.

Saturn Returns and Music Eras
In episode 429 astrologers Camille Michelle Gray and Lindsey Turner join me to discuss how different eras in music can be seen through the zodiac sign Saturn is transiting, and how those eras can be studied by looking at the Saturn returns of musicians.
Saturn spends about three years in each sign of the zodiac, and during the course of the episode we go through all twelve signs of the zodiac and discuss how the sign Saturn was in often characterized the music of that era.
Lindsey has made a special study of how the archetypes associated with each sign manifest very specific ways in the themes expressed in different musical eras, while Camille shows how the Saturn return of musicians often coincides with a very distinctive era in their individual discography.

Astrology and Death
Episode 427 features a conversation between astrologers Madeline DeCotes and Chris Brennan about astrology and death, where we discuss the relevance of astrology in understanding and dealing with issues surrounding mortality, as well as related topics such as how astrologers cope with grief and loss.
We open by addressing the question of whether astrology can speak to the topic of death, and talk about some of the different ways that it can, both by looking at a person’s birth chart and the charts of people who are close to them.
Eventually the conversation delves into the complexities of interpreting astrological indicators of death, as well as the need for caution, sensitivity, and ethics when discussing such topics.
The episode is meant to provide a broad exploration of the topic of astrology and mortality, highlighting the ways in which astrology can offer insights into the experience of death and the grieving process, and this lays a foundation for doing more detailed treatments of specific subtopics in future episodes.

Astrology Chat with Madeline DeCotes
In episode 426 astrologer Madeline DeCotes joins Chris in the studio for a wide-ranging discussion about astrology that covers eclipses, fate vs. free will, and the future of astrological research.
We open the episode by discussing the intense past month of astrology with eclipses and world events, the significance of eclipses in ancient times, and the origins of astrology.
We also explore the broader topic of negative transits, and how tragic events can sometimes lead to positive outcomes or new beginnings. The conversation delves into the nature of transits and how their manifestation may not always be immediately obvious, but can have long-lasting effects on our lives.
The discussion also touches on the personalized almanacs created by the Honeycomb Collective, which provide individualized astrological information and transits. Madeline shares her background in communication and information design, and how she aims to make astrology more accessible and digestible through visualizations and simplified data.
Later we explore the different approaches and traditions in astrology, and the challenges faced by new students in navigating the vast array of resources available.
The episode concludes with a thought-provoking discussion on the implications of astrology and its worldview. We explore the idea that the universe is alive and imbued with meaning and symbolism, contrasting it with the modern scientific view of a dead and meaningless universe.
We also touch on the tension between fate and free will, and how astrology can provide comfort and guidance in navigating life’s challenges. The conversation ends with a glimpse into the future of astrology research and the potential for innovation in studying personal charts and experiences.

Customer Reviews
Increasingly impressed with this podcast
I found this show a few years ago and rarely miss an episode. The host Chris Brennan has great guests. I learn so much with every episode. I started learning astrology 30 years ago, and this podcast has helped to change how I do astrology. Incorporating more traditional techniques into my practice has had amazing results. Astrology is not my day job, and with few astrologer friends to talk shop with, this podcast helps me keep the instruments sharp. Mr Brennan is doing a great service to the field!
So wonderful
Thank you Chris (and Lisa, Austin, where did Kelley go!) plus so many amazing guests (more Adam, nick, Patrick, and Demetra, too !)
Your wisdom and teaching is a gift. Thank you for shining your light!
As far as woke- I want one person saying that to actually define that and specify what is bad about it.
fading fast
[update below] there is a lot of great information on this podcast, and a lot of free information — though the host is very quick to limit and try to capitalize whenever possible, and that seeps out very clearly in a rather off-putting fashion — but the editions are really tanking lately with mediocre guests, as the host himself becomes more and more overtly political. perhaps the planetary light that once shined brightly here is dimming, speedily. [update] I don't know why i keep listening to this; maybe it's just habit since i have for so very long. but some of the episodes are just so screechingly awful — and barring the occasional visit by someone like say demetra george, most of the guests are frankly unlistenable — that the podcast now is, sadly, mostly garbage. the one saving grace is austin coppock, who tactfully toils to provide reasonable commentary to a sea full of dimwits. but that's not really why i'm adding this addendum. what i really want to say is that it really, really sounds so phony when chris now tries to use the "she" pronoun for venus all the time lol i mean, did "she" send you an email with a pronoun sig or something? better start with 'he/him" for mars right away! and maybe "ze" for mercury 🤣🤣 bro, you sound like such a poseur lol
