In this episode of CombustAstrology, I’m joined by Rich Kiska for a grounded, reflective conversation on pop culture astrology and what we think is happening behind the headlines.

We unpack the current cultural climate, from the redacted saga circulating the collective consciousness to the deaths of political leaders and cultural icons. This isn’t just about covering gossip in astrology it’s about how transits at a point in time can have life altering effects to people.

We explore duality, endings, and what it means to transit the end—both personally and societally. From conversations around mortality to why certain deaths hit harder than others, this episode asks what astrology can teach us about closure, meaning, and transformation.

Heavy themes, honest dialogue, and necessary reflection.

In this episode of CombustAstrology, I’m joined by Bekah of Breaking Reality, where we explore astrology as a tool for evolution, healing, and reclaiming identity. Bekah shares her background growing up in a Christian cult and her journey toward becoming the truest version of herself. Work she now shares openly with others.

From there, we dive into progressed charts, breaking down how progressions work, the timing differences between planets, and why progressions matter just as much as the natal chart. Using Bekah’s chart, I teach how to read progressions alongside the natal to track growth, maturity, and internal change.

This episode is about really stepping back and looking how far one can grow and then at the same time being ready and open to the journey ahead as we all progress our souls in this life!

In this episode of CombustAstrology, we get to know Kackada’s chart, layer by layer. We explore what it actually feels like to live with an Aquarius Moon paired with a heavy dose of Leo energy, and how those internal opposites shape emotional expression, identity, and relationships.

We talk about stepping back, observing the self, and the balance between performance and privacy. Then we dive into the light & the cave metaphor what it means to come out of hiding, confront truth, and trust timing even when things feel stalled.

From alignment to favor, fame, self-perception, and big-hearted fire sign energy, this episode moves through both humor and depth before wrapping up with questions and a final breakdown of Aquarius Moons.

A warm, reflective conversation on astrology, identity, and becoming.

In this episode, I sit down with astrologer Jasmina Brozović to explore astrology beyond labels — as a way of understanding life itself. Jasmina shares her story of learning under Steve Judd Astrology, her adventures attending astrology conferences, and how she sees astrology as an evolving art form that helps us navigate meaning and growth.

We dive into the shifting tides of Saturn and Neptune, the closing of the Age of Pisces, and the dawn of Pluto in Aquarius — what this new era means for how we define daily life, community, and identity.

After a short break, we get into the heart of study: the books and thinkers that build better astrologers. From Frank Clifford’s insights on astrology and acting to Claire Nakti’s Vedic discography research, Jasmina brings a grounded yet imaginative approach to learning. She even walks me through parts of my own chart using Georgia Stathis’ “Business Astrology 101”, teaching me something new about my South Node in Pisces and my Neptune influence.

We close with Jasmina reflecting on her Saturn–Mars placement, its definitely something that has shaped her to be an awesome person that she is!

In this introspective episode of CombustAstrology, we take a breath—literally—and step into the SPOOKY SZN. Beginning with a pause to inhale, we ground ourselves before diving into transformation, shadow work, and the what the season means for you.

We explore Scorpio’s archetype as both destroyer and revealer, tracing how this sign demands honesty, emotional depth, and radical self-acceptance. Then we move into the idea of taking off the mask—the moment you stop performing and start being your true self..

I cover some stuff about the next episode "The Winter Arch" and show you how to best utilize this upcoming Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius this Nov 2025.

Thank you for listening friends!

In this episode of CombustAstrology, we step into the Winter Arch of 2025—a season defined by power struggles, shifting systems, and personal awakening. I open with reflections on the current transits shaping the collective tone of the year and how 2025 continues to test endurance, conviction, and clarity.

We talk hegemony—what it means in both the political and psychological sense—and why astrology can reveal where control and conformity silently operate. Then, it’s about the stand-up moment: the times life demands we reclaim authority over our own narrative.

Finally, we move through the Winter Arch itself—its symbolism, tension, and invitation to act with integrity before closing with updates on what’s unfolding next for the show and beyond.

A bold, reflective episode for those navigating heavy skies and searching for meaning in the movement.

In this episode of CombustAstrology, we center the Sun—the heartbeat of the chart—and explore what the 2025 solar return reveals about purpose, vitality, and self-direction in the year ahead. I share a few personal life updates before diving into aspects to the Sun, how they shape identity, and what happens when other planets influence your core light.

We break down what the Sun’s relationships to other planets can tell you about creativity, tension, and drive—then move through the houses to see where these energies express themselves most clearly.

We close with an exploration of “that planet” — the one that always seems to define your year, no matter what you plan.

A reflective and fiery episode on becoming, being seen, and learning to radiate with intention.

In this special episode of CombustAstrology, I’m joined by my first guest—my wife, my partner, the one and only. Together, we dive into a rich conversation on psychology, astrology, self-development, and the real work behind reading charts.

We explore the Sun as a symbol of identity and radiance, and the 3rd house as a portal for voice, thought, and childhood environments. From working with kids to working with clients, we reflect on what it means to show up in service, navigate value, and charge for the spiritual work we do.

Whether you're learning astrology or stepping into your calling, this one’s all about growth, grit, and grace.
