In this episode, Jody and Mari take a deep dive into Neptune, one of the most mystical and often misunderstood planets in astrology. After spending about 14 years in Pisces, Neptune is now shifting into Aries. This change brings a powerful shift in how we dream, heal, create, and reconnect with who we are.We explore what Neptune represents including intuition, imagination, spirituality, compassion, and the longing to connect with something sacred. We also talk about why Neptune can feel confusing at times and how uncertainty can actually help intuition grow. You will hear us compare Saturn and Neptune, discuss why Neptune dissolves certainty, and explore how Neptune transits can bring both healing and discomfort.We also cover Neptune’s shadow expressions such as projection, escapism, blurred boundaries, and spiritual bypassing, along with practical ways to stay grounded and supported.

In this episode, we explore one of the most powerful tools for understanding emotional growth and life timing in astrology: the progressed chart, with a special focus on the progressed Moon.Progressions reveal how we evolve internally over time. While transits describe what’s happening around us, the progressed chart shows what’s changing within us emotionally, psychologically, and at the soul level. It tells the story of who we are becoming.We dive into how the progressed Moon moves through signs, houses, and lunar phases, creating distinct emotional seasons across the lifespan. Through both teaching and personal examples, we explore how these cycles correspond with major life milestones such as relationships, marriage, healing and identity shifts.Click HERE to calculate your current progressed moon sign and house. Click HERE to calculate your current progressed moon phase.  Have a question or topic you'd love us to explore?

Ever look back on a year of your life and realize it had a very specific theme? A year centered on relationships. Or work and health. Or deep inner change.That is not random. It is timing.In this episode of As Above, So Within: Conversations Under the Stars, we explore one of astrology’s most powerful and clarifying timing techniques: Annual Profections.This traditional method reveals the main area of life activated each year. Instead of feeling like life is chaotic or unpredictable, profections show us that every year has a focus, a classroom, and a purpose.We move through all 12 houses as lived experiences, not just keywords, helping you recognize your own storylines through themes like identity, relationships, work, healing, joy, closure, and growth.If you’d like to follow along and find your own Annual Profection chart, you can use this free calculator. 🔗 https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/annual-profections-astrology-calculator ✨ View chart example here.This episode is beginner friendly and deeply validating. You do not need to know every detail of your chart. Just listen for what resonates.Because when you understand the storyline of your year, the question shifts from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What is this year teaching me?”🌙 Perfect for anyone wanting clarity, timing insight, and a deeper sense of trust in their personal journey under the stars.

In this episode, we explore what a Saturn Return actually is, when it happens, and why it often coincides with major life shifts and moments of reckoning. We reframe Saturn’s “heaviness” as the weight of incarnation itself, looking at Saturn as the force that brings spirit into form and makes wisdom lived rather than imagined. We discuss Saturn Returns as ancient rites of passage—moving through the archetypal phases of Maiden, Mother, Crone, and Elder—and expand the conversation to include Saturn’s ongoing checkpoints throughout life, including the opening square, opposition, and closing square, which act as moments of alignment review with our soul’s agreement. We also explore natal Saturn as a karmic contract, briefly touching on Saturn through each of the twelve zodiac signs, and close the episode by sharing our own personal Saturn Return stories—how Saturn reshaped our lives, clarified our priorities, and ultimately gave us something enduring on the other side.

Have you ever noticed that the same months feel harder… lighter… busier… or more emotional every single year?It’s not random and it’s not “just the season.”In this episode, we explore how tracking the Sun through your personal birth chart can help you understand your energy, focus, emotional patterns, and life themes throughout the year.As the Sun moves through the zodiac, it also moves through your twelve houses, activating different areas of your life each month.
