In this episode of the Radiant Astrology Podcast, host Christina Caudill and guest Melissa LaFara explore the evolving nature of the inner landscape through the study of progressions.

While the natal chart represents the fixed alignment of the planets at birth, progressions offer a way to step that chart forward to reflect our spiritual growth and individuation.T

his discussion illuminates how symbolic time, where one day of life after birth translates to one year of experience, allows us to track our internal evolution.

In this episode, Lisa Pesnichak joins the Radiant Astrology Podcast to dissect the planetary "labor pains" currently reshaping our global landscape. We dive into the profound Uranian alignment of Pluto and Vulcanus, a combination that historically signals industrial revolutions, financial shifts, and massive power consolidations. Lisa introduces us to Vulcanus, named after the mythic divine smith who forged the tools of the gods. In our modern world, this translates to the raw materials and resources—like the rare earth minerals in Ukraine and Greenland—that support today's power systems and fuel the AI revolution.Our discussion covers a wide range of upcoming shifts, specifically focusing on the February 17 Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. This eclipse triggers the Pluto-Vulcanus opposition exactly, highlighting a period of intense environmental and social pressure for the United States. We also explore the dissolving foundations of democracy as Saturn and Neptune meet at the Aries point, the rise of global "autocracy networks," and the potential 2027 "bubble burst" signaled by Uranus and Admetos.

In this week's episode of the Radiant Astrology Podcast, I'm joined by astrologer Gray Crawford to unpack the potent and transformative celestial landscape surrounding the Capricorn Solstice and Sagittarius New Moon.

This time of year marks a profound and sacred turning point in the solar cycle, signaling the light's return from the darkest night, a deep theme we explore. We dedicate time to major astrological and historical topics, beginning with the ancient roots, rituals, and profound themes of the Roman Saturnalia festival, which offer context for this season.

We explore the powerful New Moon in Sagittarius, noting its critical alignment with the Galactic Center, an influence that suggests an acceleration of collective awareness and a broadening of our visionary capacities.

We also discuss the significance of the transformative Venus square Saturn-Neptune alignment, investigating what this defining aspect means for our personal resources, the nature of our relationships, and the shifting foundation of collective reality.
Join us for this exploration of the turning of the year and the astrological energies guiding us forward.Learn more about Gray CrawfordWebsite https://graycrawford.net/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@UCGXOvd3a-mXqkNQjoePXlbw Follow Radiant AstrologySign up for the Radiant Astrology free cosmic newsletter at https://www.radiantastrology.com/signup Instagram https://www.instagram.com/radiantastrologyOriginal Music by Elisabeth Elektra https://elisabethelektra.bandcamp.com/

In this episode of The Radiant Astrology Podcast, I sit down with fellow astrologer S.J. Anderson to unpack one of the most significant transits of our era—the Uranus–Pluto trine in air signs—and what it reveals about the profound shifts happening in our world right now.S.J. and I first reflect on Uranus moving through Taurus offers its "parting gifts" as it wraps up it' 8-year visit to this Earth sign. Then we explore how Uranus moving into Gemini and Pluto's entrance into Aquarius are fundamentally reshaping our relationship to technology, power, and collective organization. We trace the historical cycles that brought us to this moment and examine how these outer planetary forces are dismantling existing structures while catalyzing something genuinely new.Our conversation ranges from the acceleration of digital culture to the reorganization of political systems, from information overload to the redistribution of authority itself. We look at how these cosmic patterns show up in daily life—the disorientation many of us feel wrapped in anticipation from the sense that we're navigating uncharted territory. It's a conversation about where we've been, where we are, and what might be emerging as these powerful planetary forces collaborate to remake our world.Sign up for the Radiant Astrology free cosmic newsletter at https://www.radiantastrology.com/signup Follow Radiant Astrology on Instagram / radiantastrology Original Music by Elisabeth Elektra https://elisabethelektra.bandcamp.com/Visit S.J.

Host Christina Caudill speaks with psychotherapist and astrologer Margaret Gray about betrayal and the Scorpio/Pluto archetype. Both share Scorpio Moons, which brings depth to their exploration of this fascinating topic.Margaret explains that betrayal means something different to each person depending on their natal chart. She introduces a key distinction between bruising and rupturing in relationships—bruises are accumulating hurts while ruptures are deep wounds requiring significant repair.The conversation explores how trauma shapes responses to betrayal, and Margaret describes three types of relationship ruptures: Uranian (sudden and unexpected), Neptunian (gradual dissolution), and Plutonic (devastating and profound).Sign up for the Radiant Astrology free cosmic newsletter athttps://www.radiantastrology.com/signupFollow Radiant Astrology on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/radiantastrologySign up for the Astrology of the Heart certification course athttps://www.relationshipsandastrology.com/

This is a Full Pisces Moon at 15 degrees tightly conjoined to the North Node at 18 degrees and forming a harmonious trine to expansive Jupiter at 19 degrees Cancer!

The overwhelm is real - but so is the magic.As taskmaster Saturn is now retrograding back into Pisces, the urgent forward momentum has morphed into nostalgia for more peaceful times. The 'pedal to the metal' of Saturn in Aries has taken the foot off the gas for the time being, at least until Saturn re-enters the fire sign in February 2026.

At this Lunar Eclipse, we may find a cathartic emotional release, an extreme desire for escapism or a liberating letting go. To add to the energy of liberation, Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, stations retrograde in Gemini the day before the Lunar Eclipse, which is sure to bring surprises and perhaps some shocking news.I delve into the Pisces Lunar Eclipse with astrologer Celeste Brooks who I love to chat about how the headlines reflect the astrology.
