The fifth house in astrology for many of us is a door we pass through rather than a driving force in our lives. As our lives become more practical and more result driven, we let go of our basic creativity and the lightheartedness that comes with the fifth house. But what exactly is it that we are letting go of? In this episode we explore the power of creativity.

Welcome, dear listener, to Podcast 5/Episode 1 of Modern Astrology Radio. 

Tonight, we'll be peering through the cosmic looking glass to explore the hidden rhythms and unique energies of retrograde planets in your natal chart. So, prepare to unlock the cosmic secrets that shape your inner world and your journey through the stars. 

 From Mercury's introspective musings to Venus's enchanting reverie, from Mars's introspective battles to Jupiter's expansive contemplation, we'll journey through the retrograde universe together. 

 So, tune in, dear cosmic companions, and get ready to embrace the cosmic rewind. Our exploration of retrograde planets is about to begin, and the celestial symphony awaits your presence.

"Saturn comes back around - Lifts you up like a child - or drags you down like a stone..."

For those who languish in the lobby of Saturn - one of the two great malefics of the zodiac - these words will have personal and palpable meaning. Is Saturn the appendix of the zodiac or does it represent something much deeper. For us and for humanity?

We explore this question in episode 4.

Some say that time moves in a straight line while others say it moves in every direction. Some say all opportunities only ever happen once and all other possibilities end the moment choice is made. Others say that all outcomes exist and live their own lives in a multiverse. 

Does the way we as individuals experience time also shape the way we perceive that natal astrology chart? 

Let's talk about it.

There's a lot to be learned about faith and hope from the dark old days of psychology. How does an experiment involving drowning rats and ballroom dancers connect to the concepts of faith and hope? And do we ever truly understand Neptune on the natal chart?
