| The Original Zodiac with Graham Phillips | 03 Dec 2025 | 01:10:38 | |
What happens when you spend your career studying ancient mysteries, stumble across a few artifacts offering clues to something like the Sumerian Zodiac, and apply AI to it? Well, I suppose you get this latest book from Graham Phillips. Whether you've read his previous books or seen him on Ancient Aliens, he was a great hang, and I learned loads from our conversation. I hope you enjoy your listen. https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8BjG!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe834481c-1932-45de-b2ed-edfaea65a3cd_802x324.png https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FofR!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4bd0d027-6a93-4d35-998f-7342627ec4df_636x322.png to learn Astrology: ....to support my work and learn astrology all at the same time http://www.patreon.com/adamsommer to work with me:...to schedule a reading | |||
| Financial Astrology with Pouyan Zolfagharnia | 09 Oct 2025 | 01:31:03 | |
This conversation was a pleasant surprise. I reached out to Ray Merriman to return for a yearly conversation about Financial Astrology and the markets, and he pointed me instead to Pouyan. He works with Ray at MMA and was a treat to talk to. He shares his story of how he got involved in Financial Astrology, alongside many helpful anecdotes, and a little assessment of what's to come in Q4 with transits to be aware of. I think you'll enjoy his story.

| The Red Books with Becca Segall Tarnas | 30 Nov 2018 | 01:21:20 | |
In this show, Becca Segall Tarnas revisits the show to take a deeper dive into the Red Books. Both Tolkien and Jung had their own Red Books, which are an unbelievably deep exploration of the Imagination. To Tolkien, it is a Fae Realm, which he recorded for us in all of his books; With Jung, it is the Collective Unconscious. There is also an astrological component present in all the synchronicities between the two men which relate to the cycles between Neptune and Uranus. Being that Becca did her dissertation on the subject, there is no better person to talk to about such a rich and mind-expanding topic. We hope you enjoy our chat. https://beccatarnas.com/ | |||
| Astrocartography with Moses Siregar III | 12 Nov 2018 | 01:31:19 | |
In this show, Moses Siregar joins me to talk about Astrocartography. Also known as Locational Astrology, it is one of the more fascinating branches of Astrology that helps us understand how place awakens different parts of our chart. Moses takes it incredibly seriously, so much so, it has even changed my relationship to it as well. I hope that it inspires you to go deep with the maps. www.Astrologyforthesoul.com | |||
| The Birth of Venus | 31 Oct 2018 | 00:37:28 | |
In this show, I share the story of the Birth of Venus. If you have never heard it before, it will be a treat. If you have, you may not recognize it, and that is because it's my own. She wanted me to tell it this way. I also talk about all the transitions in the sky: Nodes switching signs, Jupiter moving into Sag, etc. I do hope you enjoy it. www.Holestoheavens.com | |||
| Kosmos. Mythos. & Psyche | 15 Oct 2018 | 00:48:22 | |
This is the first show of the new Podcast. Rebranded from Exploring Astrology into Holes to Heavens, the net has been extended to include both Myth and Psyche. This extension to the topics should allow for ample room to explore for the next decade. In this one, I explain why. I also share my stories of Crete, Martin Shaw, Venus Rx in Scorpio, and I even share a story. Enjoy www.Holestoheavens.com | |||
| Exploring Neptune with Maurice Fernandez Pt. 2 | 23 Sep 2018 | 01:27:33 | |
In this show, Maurice Fernandez returns to talk about his second attempt at writing his book on Neptune. It's no easy task to write about the elusive gas giant, let alone make sense of it, but Maurice has done just that. So, we talk all about it. I hope you enjoy it. https://mauricefernandez.com/ | |||
| Exploring Cycles with Adam Gainsburg | 22 Aug 2018 | 01:19:28 | |

I'm not sure how many times Adam has been on the show, but what I can say is that all his appearances have taught me something new about these synodic cycles. I hope you enjoy and learn something new as well from listening. Adam's site: www.soulsign.com

| Exploring the Celestial Art with Austin Coppock | 07 Aug 2018 | 01:35:57 | |
In this show, Austin Coppock and I meet again in dragon territory to talk about the Celestial Art. Recent centuries have not been kind to both Astrology and Magic, in fact, it's been so brutal that the two have somehow even been separated. Well, not anymore. These kinds of conversations will change the tides for certain. Enjoy. www.Austincoppock.com | |||
| Exploring Astrology with Richard Tarnas | 23 Jul 2018 | 01:30:31 | |
In this show, I finally get the chance to sit down with Richard Tarnas. As many of you know, Rick is the reason I do this work. His book Cosmos & Psyche changed my life.

| Deep Astrological Questions with Ray Grasse | 28 May 2024 | 01:39:26 | |
Ray Grasse returns to the pod to discuss his new book of essays So, What Am I Doing Here, Anyway? Ranging beyond the astrological into the philosophical, it's a thought provoking collection of the questions we've all asked before, like: How does synchronicity relate to astrology? How in the world do charts still work once a person has already died? Or, Why is it that we are pattern-seeking creatures? I had a great time reading many of these essays and I'm excited to share this conversation with you. Enjoy. Ray's site: Support the show and learn astrology with me: www.patreon.com/adamsommer | |||

Enjoy. art "Hermes" by Martina Hoffman | |||

We contemplate Neptune in Pisces under the Virgo Full Moon, take a look at long stretches of time through the quaking dynamic between Pluto and Uranus, and much more.

| Exploring Astrology & Qi Gong with Paul Fraser | 16 Jan 2018 | 01:18:51 | |
In this show I have a conversation with my Medical Qi Gong teacher, Paul Fraser. You may not think this has anything to do with Astrology, but you may be surprised. If Astrology is the study of Time, Light, and Energy, then Qi Gong is the practice to keep us radiant in all three. It's fundamental. It's healing. It's more than words can capture. I do hope you enjoy listening. And if you find yourself wanting to learn, Paul and I both teach it. www.Holestoheavens.com | |||
| Exploring Spagyrics with Sajah Popham | 08 Jan 2018 | 01:25:16 | |
In this show, I have a chat with Sajah Popham of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism about Spagyrics. If you aren't familiar with the idea, you probably already are to an extent. If you've listened to any of my Plants & Planets shows, that's essentially what Spagyrics is. It's old, it's magical, it's essential to the work we are all doing. I'm excited for you to listen to this. Enjoy | |||
| Exploring Mugwort & the Solstice with Sheri Hupfer | 21 Dec 2017 | 01:23:00 | |
In this show, Sheri returns to talk about the Winter Solstice and Mugwort. As the Sun stands still up here in the North, the nights are long and perfect for dreaming.

| The Saturn Podcast "Another look at the Old Devil" | 12 Dec 2017 | 01:35:45 | |

| Exploring Astrology with Chris Brennan pt. 2 | 02 Dec 2017 | 01:50:31 | |
In this show, Chris and I pick up from where we left off on his show where we set off to answer our listener questions and only got to the Nodes in our first attempt. This time, we cover a few more, like Time Lord Techniques, Mutual Reception, and a couple other interesting Q and A dynamics. Lots to learn in this one my friends. Enjoy! www.Holestoheavens.com | |||
| Exploring Jupiter cycles with Adam Gainsburg | 19 Nov 2017 | 01:53:56 | |
In this show, Adam Gainsburg returns to talk about Jupiter's synodic cycle. It's likely this is the only show on Earth covering the topic. It offers an alternative understanding--yet a primary one--to Jupiter's ingress into Scorpio. If you have been jiving with this Jupiter in Scorpio situation, you will love this. If you haven't been jiving, well, here is more context to your resistance. Enjoy.

| Constellating Cosmos: an introduction | 24 Apr 2024 | 00:53:09 | |
In this pod, I give some time to explain the latest changes to the show. For many of you, nothing may seem to change; for others, it may be confusing or abrupt. Inspired by the Jungian concept of constellating psyche, this new title borrows some of its spirit around fully engaging with "archetypes" and leans more into the planetary side of the equation. There will be more focus on cycles moving forward. There will also be many more shows that may seem unrelated to astrology but will be essential for our exploration of all these wyrd ideas. Glad I've still got you along for the ride. -adam to work with me: ...to adventure deeper into kosmos, mythos, and psyche

I talk a bit about this in the show, and much more. This is also the first part of a two part series on him. The next will be released sometime in 2018 before his ingress into Aries. Enjoy www.Holestoheavens.com | |||
| Exploring Chiron with Alec Brogan | 21 Oct 2017 | 01:30:25 | |
In this show, one of my closest friends Alec Brogan joins us to talk about Chiron. We get into some charged territory with shamans and some unbounded terrain as well as we search for the core truth of this relatively new archetype. We use the discovery chart as our pivot to understanding the essence of Chiron. We hope you enjoy it. Take what is useful, discard the rest....oOo www.Holestoheavens.com | |||

| Exploring Venus Mars conjunctions "Wild Connections" | 24 Sep 2017 | 01:09:04 | |
In this Podcast I explore the Venus and Mars conjuction. A meet up that excites everything in nature, yet, something that confuses everyone who tries to understand it. In all my years of studying Astrology, there is no planetary combo that has proven to be more elusive than this....until now. Right on time, in that they are coming together on October 5th. I hope you enjoy this listening experience.
