As we enter August I, Tansy Baigent,  am joined once again by Astrologer Amanda Simon to discuss some of the energetic frequencies of the month as we enter Leo and meet with the Strength card from the Tarot.

In sync with the playfulness that this time can bring Amanda and I came together for this one in the pure joy of creating and conversing and in that we are not trying to capture but conjure the experience of Leo and Strength within you.

In this episode host, Tansy Baigent reconnects with Amanda Simon to explore and discuss our move into June and the energies of Gemini. This episode forms part of an ongoing exploration of the energies we experience as the sun moves through each month and zodiacal sign. 

In this June episode we are exploring the micro and macro feelings of Gemini (Astrology) and The Lovers (tarot) to help to recognise what is at play in the atmosphere of this month (other transiting planets aside).

There's personal anecdotes, a little politics and lots of play around the feelings of the sun making it's way through Gemini, and June, towards it's highest point and longest day on the 21st June.

We encourage you to let go of pre-conceived ideas and just let the conversation flow through you and look for examples of how the energies of the month may be showing up in your life.

In this episode podcast host, Tansy Baigent, is once again speaking with Astrologer Amanda Simon about the themes and energetic threads of this month, May, as they are seen and felt in the context of its' astrological sign, Taurus, and it's associated Tarot cards, The Hierophant and The Empress (Venus). 

Amanda and Tansy return to discuss how we all may be feeling as we live through the month, how we can find a sense of placement as we come to recognise what energies are affecting us at this time. We play with themes of nourishment, nurture, upheaval, value, and (real and perceived) deprivation. We also ask of you what type of bull are you when you are suddenly contained and when the gates finally reopen.

This is our first in-person conversation, we hope you enjoy it.

It would be impossible to be unaware of the trials of the past year and the tangible weight of that experience upon all of our shoulders, in different ways of course, but everyone has felt the impact. And as we move into Spring, with the sun rising higher each day there is a feeling of force emerging both outside and within. This force is entwined with the energy of the sign which rules over this month (April), and that is Aries. And in Astrology the zodiacal calendar begins here. Aries leads the procession of zodiacal creatures.

In this episode Amanda Simon and I return to our place in front of the microphone to discuss how it has felt to carry the energy of the new zodiacal year, and the passions and pursuits and in equal amounts to hold the exhaustion and the grief.

We hope you enjoy this exploration of Aries and The Emperor and their effects upon us at this time.
