On this episode of the Star Love Podcast, we welcome astrologer Terry MacKinnel. We discuss Terry’s pioneering work that rectifies the astrological ages (just what age(s) are we in? you’ll be surprised!). A man interested in epochal historical and cultural development, we discuss everything from maritime discoveries to Lucretius to the printing press. Perhaps my favorite part of the interview is the elucidation of Terry’s parallel occupation that dives into the deeper aspects of spirituality. If you’re interested in spirituality, the astrological ages, history, and how to get into the mood of loving life, this is an interview not to be missed!

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. 

This episode was recorded February 20, 2020.

Star Love Podcast Launch: Episode 1 Featuring Tracie Storey

On the debut episode of the Star Love Podcast, we welcomed Tracie Storey. I met Tracie at the Astrological Association of Great Britain’s 2019 Conference, and we became fast friends under an intense Scorpio full moon. On the show, we discussed how Tracie fuses astrology, sound therapy, and more through her practice Elemental Resonance. We also explored how early on she studied classical music while also making mix tapes from what she heard on the radio. She was then inspired to pursue a career as an international DJ but later, wanting to find peace from the beats, Tracie transitioned to her current career, and on this podcast, we offer a few examples of her sound work that you can experience yourselves, live. Visit her website to explore Tracie’s offerings including meditation events, unique products, and her album, also entitled Elemental Resonance. Visit here youtube page to start working with some of her techniques.

Full Moon in Bed

Original Link from Elephant Journal

I awoke blissfully broken. Over the weekend the moon screamed but now finds herself waning in the mansion Purva Phalguni, the former reddish one. This Nakshatra symbolizes a bed where rest and relaxation reside, but as I surfaced, I found anger and frustration, the red fire raging and warning. This Nakshatra bestows abundance and marital happiness that leads to solipsism. Western astrology would say today’s moon indicates an emotional need to purge. East meets West, pleasure and purity merge. As the moon declines over the next couple weeks, empty yourself, make time for reasonable comforts, and remember that the moon symbolizes moodiness, but the Chinese hold that the moon creates order.
