In episode 472 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock discuss the year ahead astrology forecast for 2025, and make predictions about the planetary alignments in the coming year!
2025 will be a big year of change, with all of the outer planets moving into new zodiac signs this year, marking the beginning of a new era.
This will be the first year that Pluto spends entirely in Aquarius, and then in March the planet Neptune will move into Aries, followed shortly by Saturn also entering Aries in May, Jupiter ingressing into Cancer in June, and finally Uranus beginning a long transit through Gemini in July.
This year also sees Venus and Mars retrograde periods, the last of the eclipses in Aries, and finally the beginning of a new series of eclipses in Virgo and Pisces.
We spend the first two hours giving a big picture overview of all of the major outer planet shifts in 2025, and then in the second half we transition into giving a more chronological breakdown of the astrology of the next year.

Episode 471 features astrologer Chris Brennan's year ahead horoscopes for 2025, with an astrology forecast and predictions for all twelve signs of the zodiac for the coming year.
These horoscopes are meant to take some of the major transits that we will discuss in our big year ahead astrology forecast and personalize them, by talking about them within the context of each sign.
I would recommend listening to the zodiac sign that matches your rising sign if you know your birth time, although you can also listen to your Sun and Moon signs as well.

In episode 470 astrologer Chris Brennan talks to listeners of the podcast who share stories about 4th house placements in their birth chart.
This is a followup to the two recent episodes on the meaning of the 4th house in astrology where we focused on looking at celebrity example charts, and in this episode the goal was to interview some listeners of the podcast and talk with them about their 4th house placements directly.
This episode was recorded on October 6, 2024 with a group of patrons of The Astrology Podcast who signed up through my page on Patreon, and it was recorded while I was still researching the 4th house episodes.
The webinar ended up being really helpful in getting to some core meanings of the 4th house, and each person shared some really interesting stories about the unique way the 4th house showed up in their life.

In episode 469 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock discuss the astrological forecast for December 2024, and talk about news and events from the past month through the lens of astrology.
For the first 90 minutes of the episode we talk about news that happened since our last forecast, starting with the outcome of the 2024 US presidential election, and then in the second half of the episode we do a deep dive into the astrology of December.
The astrology of December opens with the second half of a troublesome Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, plus a contentious Mars retrograde period beginning in Leo.
The middle of the month features some favorable aspects, such as Mercury stationing direct, and an auspicious trine between Venus and Jupiter.
December ends with major tensions building, as Mars and Pluto move into a difficult opposition, which will culminate at the very beginning of January.

In episode 468 astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best discuss what it means when the ruler of the 4th house is placed in each of the 12 houses in a birth chart.
This is the second episode in a two-part series on the meaning of the fourth house in astrology. In the previous episode we talked about the significations of the 4th house, and looked at examples of the ruler of the Ascendant in the 4th.
In this episode we continue that research by going systematically through each of the 12 houses and looking at examples to understand what it means when the ruler of the 4th house is in different houses in the chart.
When the ruler of the 4th house is located in different houses it will connect the 4th house with other areas of the person's life.
The 4th house is primarily associated with home, family, parents, private life, and end of life, and these are the main topics that we focus on in this episode.
In this episode we experimented with incorporating some listener submissions into the episode, to complement the celebrity examples.

In episode 467 astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best do a deep dive into the meaning of the 4th house in astrology, and examine the birth charts of more than 50 notable figures who have the ruler of the Ascendant in the 4th in order to demonstrate what the house means.
The fourth house is traditionally said to signify topics such as: home, parents, family, private life, secrets, the past, death, and matters after death.
We open the episode by talking about the significations of the fourth house in detail, and discussing the way that it was conceptualized both in ancient astrology and in more recent times.
Afterwards the rest of the episode is focused on looking at examples of people who have the ruler of the Ascendant in the fourth house, and these have been arranged into groups that concentrate on specific significations associated with the 4th house.
After that we have some brief concluding remarks before wrapping up.
Followup Episode on the Ruler of the 4th House
This is the first episode in a two part series on the 4th house in astrology, and part 2 will cover the ruler of the 4th house when it is placed in each of the 12 houses.

In episode 466 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock look ahead at the astrological forecast for November 2024.
We spend the first hour talking about news and events since our last forecast, and then in the second hour we transition into talking about the forecast for November.
This month opens with a tense Mars-Pluto opposition that coincides with an optimistic Venus-Jupiter opposition, and then by later in the month there is a surprising Full Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus.
Saturn slows down and stations direct in the watery sign of Pisces, while Pluto departs from Capricorn and makes it final ingress into futuristic Aquarius where it will stay for the next two decades.
By the end of the month Mercury slows down and stations retrograde while squaring a misleading Neptune, and this configuration leads us into the dramatic Mars retrograde station in Leo that happens in early December.

In episode 465 astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim do a deep dive into the meaning of the third house in astrology, with a comprehensive workshop analyzing over 100 birth charts of notable figures, revealing surprising insights into how the third house shaped their lives.
The third house is associated with topics such as siblings, extended family, short distance travel, early education, and communication.
We open the episode by talking about the significations of the third house, and then afterwards the bulk of the episode is divided into three main parts:
The Ruler of the Ascendant in the third house
The ruler of the third house in each of the 12 houses
Each of the planets in the third house
After that we have some concluding remarks and then wrap up our deep dive into the third house!
This is essentially three separate episodes, but we decided to release it as one long episode because then you can really see the totality of what the third house means by looking at all of the different ways it has manifested in people's lives.

In episode 464 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock do an in-depth exploration of the astrology forecast for October 2024.
We spend the first hour of the show talking about news stories since our last forecast, and then at 57 minutes we jump into the forecast for October.
The major highlight of the month is the solar eclipse that happens in the signs of Libra on October 2, which is the last in a series of eclipses in that sign that began one year ago.
The middle of the month features a lot of tense aspects between Mars and the inner planets, which the benefic planets Venus and Jupiter are attempting to offset with helpful configurations.
By late in the month the Mars-Pluto opposition begins to loom large, and we start to get sense for what that tough aspect will look like over the next several months, since Mars will station retrograde and oppose Pluto three times.

In episode 463 astrologer Kirk Little joins the podcast for an in-depth discussion about the life and work of Geoffrey Cornelius, and his argument that astrology is a form of divination.
Geoffrey passed away recently on August 27, and so Kirk and I got together to talk about his work and the impact of his thinking on our understanding of astrology.
One of the central themes of our discussion is Geoffrey's groundbreaking thesis that astrology should be understood as a form of divination rather than a science based on causal relationships. Kirk and I explore how this perspective shifts the way we approach astrology, emphasizing that the symbols and signs in a chart serve as omens rather than direct influences. This re-framing opens up a richer understanding of how astrology can provide insights into our lives.
We also delve into the importance of symbolic thinking in astrology, particularly how it relates to the interpretation of horoscopes. Kirk shares how Geoffrey's work encourages us to think about astrology in a more fluid and dynamic way, where the meanings of symbols can evolve and resonate differently for each individual. This approach not only enhances our practice but also deepens our connection to the cosmos and the messages it conveys.
Throughout our conversation, it becomes clear that Geoffrey Cornelius was not just an astrologer but a philosopher who continuously sought to understand the deeper truths of astrology. Kirk highlights how Geoffrey's commitment to exploring the philosophical underpinnings of astrology remains an unfinished journey, inspiring us to keep questioning and expanding our understanding of this ancient practice. His work encourages us to engage with astrology not just as a tool for prediction but as a profound means of self-discovery and reflection.
Kirk is the author of a paper on Geoffrey's book The Moment of Astrology:
Kirk Little, "Defining the Moment: Geoffrey Cornelius and the Development of the Divinatory Perspective" (2006)
He hosts a website on astrology and divination that contains a number of other resources related to the subject:

In episode 462 astrologer Chris Brennan hosts a live birth chart reading session with listeners to talk about second and third house placements in their birth chart.
This is a followup to episode 461 of the podcast where we talked about the meaning of the 2nd house in astrology and focused on looking at example charts of celebrities, and in this episode the goal was to interview some listeners and ask them about their placements directly.
Originally this was intended to just be an episode talking about the 2nd house, but as we went through the examples the 3rd house kept coming up and we kept being pulled in that direction, so I decided to just go with it and see where it took us.
It ended up being really fruitful, and we ended up learning a lot about the 2nd and 3rd houses in the process, and each person shared some really interesting and powerful stories that helped to make the meaning of those houses really come alive.
This episode then will act as a precursor to the one on the 3rd house that I'm currently putting together.

In episode 461 astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim do an in-depth exploration of the meaning of the second house in astrology, and explain what it signifies in a birth chart by looking at dozens of celebrity examples.
In traditional astrology the second house is associated with the material world, and encompasses topics such as money, possessions, livelihood, and financial stability.
It represents the descent into the material realm, because the second house is the sign that follows the rising sign, and in the whole sign house system it is the first sign after the Ascendant that is fully submerged under the earth.
We open the episode by talking about the significations of the 2nd house in general, and then move into looking at example charts starting with planets in the 2nd house, followed by looking at the ruler of the Ascendant in the 2nd house, and then finally looking at the rulers of the houses in association with the second house.

In episode 460 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock look ahead at the astrological forecast for September 2024.
We cover news and events in the first hour, and then at 01:03:00 we start looking at September's astrology.
The astrology of September features the beginning of eclipse season, with a lunar eclipse in Pisces taking place in the middle of the month, followed by a solar eclipse in Libra in early October.
Early in the month Mars moves into the sign of Cancer, which is important because it will return to this sign after turning retrograde in early November, and thus September marks the beginning of an extremely long Mars transit that will last until the middle of next year.
Also notable this month is Pluto returning to Capricorn for its final transit through this sign, with it eventually departing for Aquarius for good in November.
The most positive alignment this month is a Venus-Jupiter trine in Libra and Gemini that goes exact around September 14

In episode 457 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock look ahead at the astrological forecast for August 2024.
We spend the first hour of the show discussing recent news and events surrounding the Mars-Uranus conjunction over the past few weeks, and then in the second hour we jump into looking at the astrology of August.
The first part of the month is dominated by Mercury going retrograde in Virgo and Leo, and then in the second week Mars moves into a tens conjunction with Jupiter as well as a square with Saturn.
The biggest outer planet alignment of the month is Jupiter squaring Saturn in the third week, and around that time Venus in Virgo swings in to square Mars and Jupiter and then oppose Saturn.
By the end of the month Mercury finishes its retrograde period and stations direct, while Venus departs from Virgo and moves into its home sign of Libra.

In episode 456 of the podcast Chris Brennan does a retrospective analysis of predictions made about the Mars-Uranus conjunction in mid-July 2024, and how that worked out in light of the attempted assassination of former President Trump.
During the course of this I play some clips from past episodes of The Astrology Podcast over the past year where we talked about the Mars-Uranus conjunction and predicted the types of events we expected to align with it, and then providing some commentary in between clips.
The purpose is to study and understand the process of making our predictions about the conjunction, and what we can learn from it in retrospect.

In episode 455 astrologer Chris Brennan does live chart readings with listeners to talk about the meaning of 1st house placements in their birth chart.
This workshop was recorded a few weeks ago in preparation for the longer episode on the 1st house in astrology that was released last week, titled The First House in Astrology: Planets in the Rising Sign.
The purpose of the livestream was to gain a deeper understanding about what the first house means by interviewing some people with prominent 1st house placements about their life.
During the course of the livestream we discuss some examples of people with planets in the first house, those who have the ruler of the Ascendant in different houses, and also some people who had major transits through the first house.
I also put out a call for examples from Twitter/X, and read a number of examples that were sent in live at different points.
By the end of the episode we ended up learning a lot about what the first house means by hearing about the lived experience of people with prominent placements involving that house in their chart.
This episode is available in both audio and video versions below.

In episode 454 astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best explain the meaning of the first house in astrology, and explore its significations by looking at different planets in the rising sign and Ascendant.
We open the episode by talking about the general meaning of the first house, and then we transition into discussing each of the planets in the 1st house, starting with the Moon and then working our way through the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
We also spend some time talking about the ruler of the Ascendant in the houses, the rulers of other houses in the 1st house, and planets transiting the first house.
This is the start of a new series where we will do a deep dive into the significations of each of the 12 houses of the birth chart, explaining what each house means and showing how different placements in that house have manifested in the lives of individuals.
Astronomically the 1st house is the rising sign in the whole sign house system, which is the zodiac sign that was rising over the eastern horizon at the moment a person was born.
The first house is associated with the degree of the Ascendant, which represents the dividing line between sky and earth, and acts as a particularly powerful and personal point within the first house.
Here are some of the significations of the first house:
Self
Body
Health
Appearance
Spirit
Character
Helm
Life direction
The which arises from you
This episode is meant to act as a foundation for the rest of the houses series, which will be made over the course of the next year.

July opens with Saturn and Neptune stationing in Pisces within 10 degrees of each other, then in the middle of the month Mars conjoins Uranus in Taurus, and finally at the end of the month Mercury moves into a square with Mars as it begins slowing down in preparation for a retrograde.
