  • Visiting Ikaria - the Island Where Icarus Fell From the Sky
    Jul 17 2025
    • One of the most famous Greek myths tells the story of a young Icarus, whose father Daedalus had built him wings to escape King Minos so they could fly to safety. It's said that while flying over the Greek island of Ikaria, Icarus flew too close to the Sun and his wings melted, pelting him to his death in the rocky sea below.

      In this podcast episode, astrologers Alicia Cielle Heiser and Lori Kaufman talk about their pilgrimage to the island of Ikaria, where they visited the rock where Icarus is said to have fallen. This island is also considered a blue zone, where many people live to be 100 and have healthier lives than much of the world. And it is a beautiful location with ancient wine, panagiria festivals, thermal hot springs and a slow-paced life.

  • Malefic-Ruled Luminaries and Angles
    Jul 10 2025

    There's such a strong focus on the negative aspects of having a strongly malefic chart in astrology, but the influence of malefics can bring great strength, resilience and determination to a nativity. In this podcast episode, astrologers Lori Kaufman and Alicia Cielle Heiser are joined by Matthew Oliver, the founder of Still Water Alchemy, to discuss what it means to have your luminaries and/or angles ruled by the malefic planets Mars and Saturn.

    We dig into the nuance of sect and how Mars and Saturn manifest in different ways through our charts. We share personal examples from all 3 of our strongly malefic-ruled charts to crystallize how these planets show up in real life and give some suggestions for how to productively work with malefic energy in your life. We also break down the difference between each angle and luminary to give nuance and depth to your chart interpretations.

  • Tropical and Sidereal Zodiac: Why We Need Both
    Jul 3 2025

    So often, the conversation around the tropical and sidereal zodiac is framed as an either/or debate about which zodiac is "better." In this podcast episode, Lori Kaufman and Alicia Cielle Heiser are joined by fellow astrologer Cameron Cassidy to discuss the importance of using BOTH the sidereal and tropical zodiac.

    We go over the philosophical differences underpinning each zodiac, as well as the constellational zodiac, to demonstrate the value that each system gives to astrological interpretations. We answer common questions such as which house system to use, and how to incorporate each zodiac with the astrology techniques you use.

    This episode is an invitation to think about each zodiac system in a both/and orientation that allows ample space for nuance and complexity. Cam is so fun to chat with and we really hope you enjoy this conversation!
