Janet Booth

The Astrologer Who Helps You “Plan-It”!

For the opening episode of the second season of the Star Love Podcast, we welcome astrologer Janet Booth! I met Janet through my involvement with the Astrological Society of Connecticut, and we’ve kept up the connection ever since. We discuss her soon to be famous “Libra” shirt, our mutual love of Connecticut pizza, her business background, and the unique astrological techniques she employs in her work. The majority of the interview is spent exploring the transits of 2020 into 2021 and how you can apply these energies for your sun and/or rising sign.

Astrologer, Musician, and Hiker Bruce Scofield.

On episode twelve of the Star Love Podcast we welcome astrologer Bruce Scofield. I’m thrilled to have Bruce on to discuss his wide ranging interests including different forms of astrology and music. We talk about how he moved from playing trumpet to rock music, ultimately becoming an astrologer after seeing the accuracy of some personal transits. From traditional astrology to correlating weather patterns with Saturn transits, Bruce is one of the most original and learned astrologers you will find.

Link to One Reed Publications, Bruce’s extensive website for all things astrology and Mesoamerican Astrology. You can get a free Maya-Aztec personality report that, I have to say, especially in a pressing, divinatory moment, is spot on!

Below is Bruce’s book on Election Astrology, or the astrology of selecting an opportune moment to start something. Also his other book mentioned in the podcast. Last, Margaret Atwood’s book Surfacing provides a literary path to some of the concepts explored in the podcast.
