• 3 Questions with The Mercuranians - Stella Mowat and Cameron Cassidy
    Jan 11 2024

    Another interview from last years 2023 NORWAC conference. This time with Stella Mowat and Cameron Cassidy of The Mercuranians. This was recorded in one of the hallways of the hotel. I was a bit tired at this point but they were both good sports and up for the impromptu recording. The astrology conference world has changed over the 7 years and it is great to see a younger generation that is studied and contributes to the community. Check out their podcast and youtube channel.

  • 3 Questions with Astrologer Melissa LaFara
    Dec 7 2023

    Did not plan on this episode but when you have a chance to ask "3 Questions" in person and carry a recorder ...you Press Record. That is what Melissa LaFara and I did in a room that was alive and talking to us through sound creaks and clicks. Not really surpised though, it seems we attract the "energy."
    I had a great experience talking with Melissa and we covered many topics. She is a human with many talents and gifts. Astrologer, Tarot Practitioner, Writer, Musician and much more. The Coyotes call us...

  • Oct 31 - Nov 6th 2023 Weekly Surprise Astrology Forecast
    Nov 1 2023

    Hello! Welcome to November 2023! In this episode I battle barking dogs and roof hammering to bring you words connecting the transits of the week. Coming from a lingering Full moon Eclipse weekend. Venus in Virgo will connect to the outer body planets within one week. In the middle of that story Saturn in Pisces stands still ending its retrograde cycle. We now answer to Saturn and face the reality it brings. A special message for my Scorpio, Scorpio Rising and Moon humans towards the end of the episode.

  • 3 Questions with Astrologer Pixrtea
    Oct 27 2023

    Greetings! Back from a podcast break with an episode of 3 Questions with Astrologer Pix Wilder from Pixrtea Astrology. This recording is from May 2023 from the Northwest Astrological conference. We found a quiet room to talk, which if you have listened to my other interviews from the conference you'll notice the public noise in the background. It was nice departure.
    I've been watching Pixrtea's work on social media and their Youtube channel. She has built up an amazing community and I respect her astrological takes. We talk about several books in the episode. One being "Come as you Are" by Emily Nagoski. We mixed up the author with Esther Perel which is something Gemini's do because we are reading multiple books at the same time! LOL.
    Thanks for being on the podcast Pixrtea. See you back in Valisthea...

    I suggest you follow Pixrtea on her TikTok, IG and other channels!

  • 3 Questions with Astrologer and Publisher Rae Sapp
    Sep 23 2023

    Another edition of the 3 questions podcast this time with Astrologer and Publisher Rae Sapp. Rae was attending the Northwest Astrological Conference representing The Mountain Astrologer Magazine where she is Director and Publisher. I met Rae in 2022 at the ISAR conference where she sat behind the vendor table for the magazine. I distinctly remember her smile and huge bouquet of flowers on the table. The energy of her and the TMA Crew. I felt the vibrant creativity again at the NORWAC conference. I hope you enjoy her thoughts and answers to the "3 Questions".

  • 3 Questions with Astrologer Becca Tarnas
    Aug 5 2023

    This interview with Becca Tarnas was recorded during the 2023 NORWAC gathering. I remember the first time Becca spoke at the conference years ago. Happy to see her evolution as a speaker over the years. I was especially engrossed with her lecture called:

    "Astrology and Psychedelics: A Symbiotic Relationship

    Is there a connection between astrology and psychedelics? At Esalen Institute in the mid-1970s, Stanislav Grof and his doctoral student Richard Tarnas were trying to solve the mystery of the inter- and intra-individual variability of LSD sessions. The radical suggestion that astrology might be the answer opened up a vast new domain of research. As the biographer of Grof, archetypal astrologer Becca Tarnas is uniquely positioned to present on this topic of the mutually illuminating relationship between psychedelics and astrology." You can purchase the video recording here: https://norwac.net/downloads/tarnas-becca-permutations-of-venus-video/

    Safe travels to you Becca and may Hermes guide you.
