While you might have already heard of and had a dive into the major aspects, Martha and Mimí are here to bring even more chart investigating possibilities through the minor aspects! Minor aspects include semi-sextile, semi-square, quintile, quincunx, and sesquiquadrate. Do you have any of these minor aspects in your chart?
Do you get a new (re)birth chart when you become a vampire? What sign would you label hockey as? Which two signs would you choose to do an escape room with you? All that and more, including a classic 'Am I the A**hole?' in the latest edition of our astro ramble!
Happy Virgo season! Do you know and love a Virgo Venus? Or are YOU a Virgo Venus? These placements sure do love when things are respectably tidy and clean, but even more than that they are the ones who notice the little, often forgotten, details. Valuing dependability over bold statements, and Venus in Virgo (or 6H) is definitely the one to look to when we need to feel securely taken care of.
Let's talk about s*x baby! Welcome to the spiciest installment of our Arabian Parts series...the Part of Eros! While Part of Fortune and Part of Spirit are calculated using the moon and the sun (respectively), Part of Eros is calculated using Venus and is often referred to as the Part of Love. While having to do with all aspects of Venus, including creativity and pleasure, Eros, also known as Cupid, really has to do with the more erotic side of passion and pleasure. In this episode we dive into ...
While not everybody has one...MANY charts are categorized by different shapes! In this intermediate episode we use YOUR charts to chat about the most well known astrology chart shapes: seesaw, bowl, bucket (funnel), bundle, splash, splay (tripod), and locomotive (choochoo.....). Chart shapes give another layer of the overall energy of a chart and can change depending on which housing system you use. Does your chart have one of these shapes?

It only took us 158 episodes to FINALLY get into a deeper discussion about a topic we are constantly chatting about...placidus versus whole sign housing systems! Between the three of us, this firestorm is well-rounded in the use of both systems. But what is the difference? Whole sign is a more traditional system that simplifies one sign per house, and placidus is a more modern system that allows 1-3 signs per house. Join us in this long-awaited chat on the best uses for both systems and how, whe...

We're so used to hearing people ask: "What's your sign???" However...once you've had a tased of astrology that questions quickly evolves into asking for someone's top three! So what does top three even mean? Your top three is your sun sign, your moon sign, and your rising sign (also known as your ascendant).

Did you know that some signs are really well qualified for the characteristics of certain planets? If the moon had a list of job requirements, Taurus would be THE SIGN for the job. Each planet has a sign that does its job really well, and we called these placements exalted. On the other hand, the opposite signs of those exalted signs (signs in fall) work in different ways than what the energy might call for. Exaltation and fall are placements don't match up like planets in their ruling signs (or...
Happy Gemini season! This episode comes to you in the seasonal spirit of #stopgeminihate! Gemini, one of the signs ruled by Mercury, has a LOT to say...and oh how we love to listen (and discuss)! This airy and mutable Mercury needs to be able to bounce their ideas around on their own terms and time-frame. Although Gemini loves being social, with so many thoughts happening, those with Gemini Mercury can definitely benefit from some calm, alone time. Laura, OG fan and former Leo Moon guest, saves ...
Get ready for this part 2 coming at you with all the info on houses 7-12!
