Welcome to this edition of the EP podcast on “Pisces Season 2024” - where host Melissa LaFara flies solo to take you on a journey through mutable waters! This year’s season of the fishes is a pre-cursor to the Aries/Libra eclipses that are headed our way, and the Universe is ready to throw us in the spin cycle of the celestial washing machine. All planets are still direct, and nearly everyone has a say in this preparatory lead-up, especially the relationship planets. Before it’s Aries go time, we must check in and align with our higher selves. So the question is, are you ready to climb into the spiritual incubator?

Welcome to this edition of the EP podcast on “Capricorn Solstice Season 2023” - where Shu Yap and I lead you into the turning of the light from a northern and southern hemisphere viewpoint! This year’s Capricorn period is dynamic in its own right, with Mercury RX and Mars hijinks, Neptune kerfuffles, and the always monumental mid-way activation point between eclipse seasons.

Welcome to this audio-only version of a special Mercury RX livestream I recorded on Dec 6th, 2023. As some of you may know from the last podcast episode, I’ve been dipping my toes in the YouTube livestream waters! Some juicy content was shared, and I didn’t want you audio-preferred listeners to miss out! In this special, I’ll discuss the ins and outs of the upcoming Mercury RX cycle in Capricorn and Sagittarius. Due to this being a live program, it will have a different dynamic than the usual podcast! I do hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

This podcast is an audio-only recording of my first live stream I hosted on YouTube on Sunday, Nov 19th at noon Pacific.

Welcome to this edition of the EP podcast on “Scorpio Season 2023” - where C ‘Vivi’ Henriette and I break down the compost vibe that the season of the Scorpio has for us this year! Are you feeling like butterfly goo too?? We begin with the acknowledgment that we are deep in eclipse season and that the astrological current is clearing the way for the emerging dynamics of next Spring. Scorpio season has no shortage of impactful transits, as we finish up the Taurus / Scorpio eclipse cycle, Saturn stations direct, the new moon opposes disruptive Uranus, and the Sun / Mars synodic cycle starts all over again! So get ready… we’re headed for the transmutative force that is Scorpio!

Welcome to this edition of the EP podcast on “Libra Equinox Season 2023” - where Rachel Lang and I talk all things Libra as we do a detailed breakdown of the season ahead. This year’s equinox ushers in the next round of eclipses, and we can already feel the lead-up to what I’m deeming “The Great Rebalancer.” We talk about relationships being extra highlighted with Venus’ presence in the Aries full moon and Libra solar eclipse, and how the Sun / Mercury cazimi conjunct the south node and square Pluto will most certainly turn the death/rebirth tides. No stone is left unturned during the season of the scales… so get ready to return to equilibrium by initiating your new version of harmony!

Welcome to this edition of the EP podcast on “Virgo Season 2023” - where Nicholas Polimenakos and I give you the skinny on the varying qualities of this mutable earth sign and the role that Mercury plays as ruler. There are many shifts taking place as it’s the month of planetary stations, so there is no doubt that the back-and-forth nature of the messenger planet will be emphasized! Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus will all change direction in the skies and this will influence the twists and turns in what is already a transitioning narrative. It’s a big month, so adaptability will be needed, especially as we get closer and closer to the next eclipse season!

Welcome to this edition of the EP podcast on “Leo Season 2023” - where Spencer Michaud and I do an in-depth treatment of this lit up period that doesn’t have a lot of aspects but still packs a planetary punch. We start with our overview of Leo and its relation to the Taurus squares it will perform, and how that could place emphasis on environmental awareness… with the big question, what can we do as individuals to nurture the planet so all flora and fauna can thrive? Next, we go step-by-step through the transits, tackling the nodal shift, Venus RX, the lunations, and the eventual lead-up to an almost stationed Mercury. It’s gonna be a hot one!

Welcome to this edition of the EP podcast on “Mid-Year Recap + Venus RX In Leo” - where Gray Crawford and I reconvene to do a mid-year check-in with our 2023 year ahead forecast and do an in-depth treatment of the coming Venus RX in Leo transit. In the first third of the program, we recollect how January - June’s astrology played out in real time and what we think are the hot spot transits to come for the remainder of the year. We then dive into Venus’ summer retrograde in Leo and the characteristics we believe it will manifest based on cycles, myth, and planetary alignments. We concluded that Venus & Mars are running the rest of the 2023 show! Ready to get personal?

Welcome to this edition of the EP podcast on “Cancer Solstice Season 2023” - where Catherine Urban and I discuss the turning of the quarterly seasons and this year’s solar journey through the moon-ruled crab territory. We talk about the significant shifts that are in sight - cardinal lunar quarters, a Mercury / Sun (+ Saturn & Jupiter!) cazimi, the nodes ingress into the Aries / Libra axis, and Venus stationing RX while Pluto activates the bending of the nodes. We both agreed that the meat of Cancer season is at the very end, so get ready for the dynamic celestial configurations headed our way!

Welcome to this edition of the EP podcast on “Gemini Season 2023” - where Jo O’Neill and I go Mercurial and break down all the bits and pieces of this year’s solar passage through the twins! First, we address how Taurus isn’t done with us yet as Jupiter gets settled, Mercury gains speed, and we start the season fresh off a new moon in the bull’s territory. We then walk you through a play-by-play of the transits in store, including the mutable moon cycles and Venus entering Leo for an extended stay. To wrap up, we address the bigger picture of Jupiter separating from the north node to make the opening sextile to Saturn in Pisces. The story is moving forward so it’s time to dial in our narrative!

Welcome to this edition of the EP podcast on “Jupiter in Taurus” - where Wade Caves joins me to dive into the big event of the great benefic moving into the bull’s fixed earth! First, we muse on what Jupiter represents on a personal and mundane sphere and how a passage through the slow but steady territory of Taurus will color the larger-than-life nature of this planet. Next, we take a trip back in time to reminisce on past chapters of Jupiter in Taurus, eventually landing in 1857-58 when Jupiter last shared the sign with Uranus. Lastly, we wrap up the segment by dissecting a handful of notable transits that will take place during this year-long transit and what we could expect to see under their influence. Settle in… Jupiter in Taurus is taking us somewhere with the reminder that patience is a virtue!

Welcome to this edition of the EP podcast on “Taurus Eclipse Season 2023” - where Taylor Shuler joins me to engage in a deep dive discussion on this year’s solar dip into the bull’s terrain! Prepare for a juicy setup when the sun ushers us into the land of fixed earth with a 29° Aries solar eclipse just hours before a 0° square to Pluto in Aquarius. Follow along as we dissect this catapulting eclipse that’s paired with Mercury stationing RX, followed by Pluto stationing RX and a lunar eclipse in Scorpio, only to end this zodiacal month with a larger-than-life season finale as Jupiter ingresses into Taurus to square both Pluto and Mars.
