In episode 460 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock look ahead at the astrological forecast for September 2024.
We cover news and events in the first hour, and then at 01:03:00 we start looking at September's astrology.
The astrology of September features the beginning of eclipse season, with a lunar eclipse in Pisces taking place in the middle of the month, followed by a solar eclipse in Libra in early October.
Early in the month Mars moves into the sign of Cancer, which is important because it will return to this sign after turning retrograde in early November, and thus September marks the beginning of an extremely long Mars transit that will last until the middle of next year.
Also notable this month is Pluto returning to Capricorn for its final transit through this sign, with it eventually departing for Aquarius for good in November.
The most positive alignment this month is a Venus-Jupiter trine in Libra and Gemini that goes exact around September 14

Astrology Forecast for June 2024
Thursday, May 30, 2024 • Duration
In episode 450 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock discuss the June 2024 astrology forecast, covering major transits like a stellium of planets moving through Gemini, Jupiter trine Pluto, Venus cazimi, Mars square Pluto, and Saturn stationing with Neptune.
In June a stellium of 4 planets transit through Gemini in the first half of the month, and Jupiter trines Pluto in Aquarius, which should expand and accelerate technological developments related to communications, artificial intelligence, and travel.
Venus plunges into the heart of the Sun around the same time early in the month, which marks the end of one synodic cycle for Venus and the beginning of another, marking a new epoch for relationships, equality, and the position of women in society in general.
Mars moves into Taurus mid-month, where it immediately forms a tense square with Pluto in Aquarius, raising issues related to the use and abuse of power, going overboard to achieve one’s ends, and dealing with dangers.
Late in the month Saturn slows down and stations retrograde in Pisces while conjoining Neptune, which will on the one hand in Pisces intensify ongoing themes surrounding dangers and fears that arise in connection with water, while with Neptune we will an intensification of the blurring between what is real versus what is not and the struggle to distinguish between the two.
The lunations this month are a new Moon in Gemini on June 6, followed by a full Moon in Capricorn on June 21.

Astrology Chat with Nick Dagan Best
Friday, July 15, 2022 • Duration 03:23:43
In episode 360 astrologer Nick Dagan Best joins Chris Brennan in the studio in Denver to talk about his work in astrology, including research on the Uranus return of the United States, Venus retrograde cycles, and more.
Nick flew out to Denver from July 7-11, 2022, and this was the first in a series of episodes we recorded. A lot of the episode ended up being biographical, talking about Nick's life and career in astrology.
We ended up spending a good chunk of the episode talking about the upcoming Uranus return of the United States when Uranus moves into Gemini in 2025 through 2033, and how that connects to the two previous Uranus returns that coincided with the Civil War and World War II.
Later in the episode we also ended up talking about some important new research Nick has done in tracking Venus retrograde cycles, and creating a new model for classifying different sequences.

Steph and Acyuta-bava’s credentials for this episode are that they both have prominent Cancer placements in their birth chart. Steph has the Sun and the Midheaven in Cancer, and Acyuta-bava has the Sun and Mercury together in Cancer.

Transiting Eclipses in Astrology
Friday, June 3, 2022 • Duration 02:01:02
Episode 355 astrologer Chris Brennan leads a workshop on how to understand the meaning of transiting solar and lunar eclipses based on where they fall in your birth chart, with a group of astrologers sharing stories of their past experiences.
This is a recording of a meeting of the Denver Astrology Group that took place on May 14, 2022 at the Mercury Cafe, a couple of weeks after a solar eclipse in Taurus, and the day before a lunar eclipse in Scorpio.
It was a followup to another meeting we did in 2019 that was released as episode 215 titled Interpreting Eclipses in Your Birth Chart, where we demonstrated how to interpret eclipses based on which houses they fall in your birth chart, and then attendees shared stories of eclipses in their lives.
For this meeting attendees were instructed to go back and watch the recording of that last meeting, and then come to this one prepared to share stories of how eclipses had worked out for them in the past.
Here is a handout that shows what signs the eclipses fell in from 2004 through 2025:
