Celestial Curiosities – Details, episodes & analysis

In the endless astrology topics that exist, today we dive into a new category: modalities!

We intentionally saved this topic for now because we are in Libra season, one of the 4 Cardinal signs.

In this episode, we talk about:

• what modalities are, and what they represent
• the characteristics of the Cardinal modality and how we use them when looking at charts
• the review of multiple charts, including people and events
• how Cardinal energies come thru us and we see them play out in our lives.

Now, check out your natal chart and see how much Cardinale energy you have and how you feel it shows up for you!

For our first year, each episode will follow the astrological calendar and focus on a different concept as our main theme.

Our goal is for these themes to build on each other, creating a living library of astrological sparks or knowledge and curious confabulation about the celestial realm.

We’ll weave in elements of personal evolution, herbalism, and a look at a chart that aligns with whatever topic we’re looking into that day.

Did you know that out of the 10 planets typically used in astrology readings, only 2 are represented by female celestial bodies?!

We owe it to a couple of amazing women who felt that was a bit out of balance, and started to work with certain asteroids to expand the feminine energies in our charts.

In this episode, we had a blast diving into:

• the history of the asteroids; when they were discovered, how many there are, etc…

• the mythology of the most popular of the asteroids and what each of their stories and definitions are

• on-the-fly interpretations of where each of those asteroids are in our charts; this was totally new to us, so it was really fun to consider how they show up for us

• some entertaining, and possibly controversial, tangents?! lol

A couple of links, as promised:

• Meli’s business astrology reading was with the lovely Sabrina Ourania << check out her offerings and let her know we sent ya!

• Demetra George’s book Asteroid Goddesses: The Mythology, Psychology, and Astrology of the Re-Emerging Feminine

Does anyone read newspaper horoscopes anymore?! If you do, then the one you look at, that sign you know and love - maybe the only zodiac sign you've ever known you are, is your Sun sign.

We know you're soooo much more than that, but the center of the universe of your self is pretty important.

We talk about this and:

• how it plays into your personality
• how to utilize it to help you be your most authentic self
• how working with the shadow and the light are equally important
• how we almost burned the farmhouse down...

To feeling illuminated and alive!!

By far one of the easiest parts of astrology for anybody to understand: the moon!

Whether you truly feeeel like you *get her* (and your own feelings!) is a different story... dependent on your personal moon!

If you don't know what that means, this episode will give you some things to think about. :)

• We break down our moons (all air moons!) and how they differ/show up in our lives
• What the moon is here to teach us as we move about in our human bodies
• How humans reflect the "lunacy" of la luna...
• A heavy emotional celeb birth chart
• A silvery plant
• and some good laughs, of course!
