Frequency: 1 episode/7d. Total Eps: 6

Hi, hello! I'm Colin, a New York City-based Astrologer and host of What Time Were You Born?, an Astrology-as-permission structure interview series where I read a guest's birth chart just like I do at the club, because I'm nosy and can't mind my own business. You get to see how the desires of the heart rhyme with the details of the chart. For video episodes, including chart visuals, find me on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@colin.bedell

Preparing for Fall Retrograde Season with Astrologer Mecca Woods | What Time Were You Born?

Season 1 · Episode 6

Tuesday, September 29, 2026 • Duration 58:46

Between Venus stationing retrograde in just a few days, and Mercury and Mars gearing up for their turns, we are stepping into a massive season of retrograde transits.

The internet loves to treat retrograde season as cause for collective panic, but in this episode of What Time Were You Born?, I sat down with my dear friend, author, and incredible astrologer Mecca Woods to offer an empowering, grounded alternative to the doom-and-gloom.

Mecca was one of the very first astrologers to welcome me into this community nearly a decade ago, modeling what collaborative, zero-scarcity friendship looks like from day one. In this episode, we get into:

The "Law of the Re-": Why consecutive retrogrades invite a collective pause, and why fighting the slowdown only creates burnout.
Mecca’s Retrograde Medicine ("Reflect & Reset"): Somatic, practical ways to regulate your nervous system, step away from screens, and reconnect with the person behind all the roles.
When the Past Shows Up: How to handle exes, former colleagues, or old friends resurfacing during Venus retrograde (and why choosing not to respond is a valid response).
Neptune & Saturn in Aries: Creative bravery, stepping into the unknown, and why nothing new happens in the "known".
The Leo–Aquarius Axis: Balancing visibility and authentic self-expression with community care and dismantling hyper-independence.
The Power of Sincere Compliments: Why positive acknowledgment is the ultimate antidote to cynicism and isolation.

The Aries Sex Therapist Who Helped Me Reclaim Pleasure | Dr. Holly Richmond

Season 1 · Episode 1

Tuesday, September 22, 2026 • Duration 52:11

This week’s episode of What Time Were You Born? is one of the most personal, healing conversations I’ve ever had on camera. I’m joined in-studio by somatic psychologist, certified sex therapist, and author Dr. Holly Richmond.Content Note: In this episode, Holly and I explore the journey of reclaiming desire and bodily autonomy, including high-level, non-graphic reflections on survivorship and recovery from sexual trauma (between 12:00 - 24:00 if you would prefer to skip ahead). We approach this through an empowering, therapeutic lens. If you are navigating your own healing, please see the supportive resources linked below.Holly isn’t just a guest to me; she is someone whose clinical work and friendship fundamentally shifted how I understand safety, visibility, and my own body. Using her astrological blueprint, we dissect how the body speaks, how pleasure is reclaimed, and what somatic autonomy looks like.In this episode, we explore:

The Astrology of the Body: Holly’s powerful Taurus stellium (Saturn, Mercury, Venus, Mars) and how it anchors her grounded, somatic approach to healing.Does the Body Really Keep the Score? Holly’s take on emerging research, moving beyond the narrative that trauma is permanently “stuck,” and viewing the body as an expressive storyteller rather than a fixed verdict.
The Vulnerability of Being Seen: Why Leo energy can sometimes feel unsafe to express, the limbic survival wisdom behind the “fawn” response, and learning to loosen control without losing your footing.
Reclaiming Pleasure: What desire, eroticism, and imagination ask of us when we’re ready to step off the island and return to connection.

Get full video episodes with chart visuals early, ad-free, and uncensored on Patreon!

On episode four of What Time Were You Born? I read the birth chart of recording artist, entertainer, and RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13 finalist Ross (Rosé). Two Geminis born two days apart unpacking what it means to navigate a double-bodied sign: balancing the studious, hyper-organized perfectionist at home with the explosive performer who commands the stage.

Inside the Episode:

The Aquarius Moon: Why early experiences of feeling othered turned community and belonging into a lifelong search.
The Virgo Rising: How precision, detail, and Beyoncé became survival blueprints for mastery and self-protection.
The Gemini Sun & 10th House Stellium: The astrological engine behind public visibility, and why learning to be silly on purpose is the ultimate reclamation of joy.
Natal Mercury Retrograde: Moving from Scotland to Texas at nine years old, code-switching accents as a secret cosmic superpower, and what Hermes in Disney's Hercules explains about chart rulers.
The Artist’s Way & Sacred Medicine: The difference between sheet music and the song, what plant medicine opened up around conflict, and why taking ourselves too seriously kills the magic in the room.

The OG YouTube Astrologer Who Changed My Life - Maria DeSimone

Season 1 · Episode 1

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 • Duration 47:50

In the first episode of What Time Were You Born?, I read the chart of Astrologer Maria DeSimone, who gave me my very first reading in 2013. Full circle moment.

Maria DeSimone gave me my very first astrology reading in her kitchen when I was 21 years old. And I have never forgotten what it felt like to have someone read my chart with that much compassion, that much permission, and that much realness.

Maria is one of the pioneers of video astrology, a 23-year professional Astrologer, founder of Insightful Astrology School, and honestly just a girl from Ozone Park who answered a Craigslist ad during a divorce and ended up changing the game. In this episode we pull up her chart, trace how her Mars in Cancer in the third house shaped the way she teaches, and follow the thread of her career from a 19-year-old intern named Dan to syndicated video horoscopes watched by millions.

We also talk about her cousin John, who was an Astrologer in Manhattan, and Maria tells me a story about him that stopped me in my tracks.
