Saturday Feb 10, 2024
Happy New Year everyone! It's the Lunar New Year of the Wood Dragon which falls on the new moon in Aquarius. It's the true beginning of Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere, as the planet continues its dance around the Sun in its place among the Stars. I chat with visual artist, painter and teacher Divya Marie Kato about "dragon hunting" and connecting to Source, and a powerful Hindu Goddess has got our future all sorted. Thanks for listening!

Gemini Full Moon - Strive for Clarity/Sarah Furuya Interview
Monday Nov 27, 2023
Monday Nov 27, 2023
This episode is a rather cathartic one. The Gemini Moon astrology wants us to THINK before we act, and make sure we've done enough research to support our perspectives on things. The Tarot is warning against apathy and laziness of mind, and we are being asked to seek answers within our deepest, most sensitive selves. I interviewed the enigmatic Sarah Furuya about her pheonix journey into sobriety and peri-menopause, and there's a piano song that will pull at the heart strings for you as well. Thank you for listening this year. Bring on 2024.
Original Piano Instrumental - "Lady Lagonda"

Taurus Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse - S**t or Get Off the Pot
Friday Oct 27, 2023
Friday Oct 27, 2023
Hello Friends in Near and Far Away Places, tis a full moon eclipse in the sign of the Bull. No BS. Literally. Taurus hates change, but recognizes that it's no good to stay stuck, no matter how bull-headed one might be. It's time to own it like you mean it, face up to your own BS and see it as something to compost! Carnage, carnival and carne (pleasures of the flesh) are the themes of this moon. Halloween/Samhain is the traditional time of the ancestors, and a time to enjoy the skin you're in, so live it up my pretties and your little dogs too! Hee Hee Hee!!!
Original song: "Sing the Land"

Hey all, it's a Capricorn Super Moon which is bleating at us to get on with the Work, but also to take a moment and take in the view from the top of the mountain that is YOU - what's ahead, sure, but more importantly, how far you've come.

Hey there my beautiful beasts, it's a Beltane full moon lunar eclipse in sexy, strange, seductive Scorpio! My birthday happened to fall on the same night as the full moon so I decided to do a random party recording and some dear friends dropped in for some deep musings on this powerful Sabbat. I hope this lunar eclipse assists you in your transformation from scuttling Scorpion to exultant Phoenix!
