Astrology forecast for April 27-May 3


Chris and Almie talk about this weekend's Mars-Neptune conjunction that might have us feeling groggy and spacey, but could also have us feeling inspired and romantic as well.

Speaking of home signs, Mars returns to its home sign of Aries on Tuesday, April 30th, which will stir our passions and bring us back in touch with our personal power.

Astrology forecast for April 21-27


Chris and Almie talk about the transformative Scorpio Full Moon that will be exact on Tuesday, April 23rd.

They also inform listeners that Mercury will end its retrograde phase on Thursday, April 25th! 


And they wish everyone a belated Happy Taurus Season as the Sun entered the sign of the Bull last Friday, April 19th, and over the next month the pace of life should ease a bit as Taurus will encourage us to slow down and appreciate the finer things life has to offer.

The planet of communication will officially turn retrograde on Monday, April 1st, bringing slowdowns and complications to our communications until April 25th.

This full moon could have us evaluating our social circle, feeling rebellious, as well as encouraging us to take some chances with our creativity and self-expression. 


A Mars-Jupiter Trine around the time the full moon is exact might have us feeling over the moon (no pun intended) with optimism and a belief that anything is possible. 


Chris and Almie also discuss the Mercury-Saturn opposition that we'll be feeling all week, which could put a strain on our thoughts and communications, and might have a lesson to teach us as well.


In "Ask A Scorpio," Chris challenges Almie to a trivia game where she needs to guess the names of famous people who were born with Mercury in Virgo.

The Sun has entered its home sign of Leo! 


With Mercury, Venus and Lilith already in Leo, there is indeed a lot of fabulousness in the air. 


Chris and Almie talk about what to expect while Venus is retrograde from July 22nd through September 3rd. Venus, the planet of beauty and love, will be asking us to review our relationships, as well as the areas of our lives where we'd like to bring some peace and harmony. 


With Black Moon Lilith traveling closely to Venus during this retrograde, we might find ourselves making some bold decisions, and a desire to reclaim our personal power.

Episode 163: Mars Enters Virgo: Are We Having Pun Yet?

Astrology forecast for July 8-15


Chris and Almie talk about the Mars-Pluto quincunx that might be adding some tension to this weekend's festivities. They also discuss Mars' shift from Leo to Virgo, which could create a party atmosphere this weekend, but we might also be a bit self-involved, and overly passionate about things as well. Chris gives listeners a heads up that Monday, July 10th could be a powder keg kind of a day in that Mars will be changing signs, Mercury will oppose Pluto, and if you're in the pacific time zone, Mercury will enter Leo that day as well. Fortunately the rest of the week settles down a bit, but don't be surprised if your work week starts off with a bang!


In "Ask A Scorpio," Chris asks Almie if she knows if there's any truth to the rumor that Tom Brady (Leo) and Kim Kardashian (Libra) might be dating.

Chris and Almie talk about the full moon in Capricorn, which will be exact around 4:30am pacific time on Monday, July 3rd. Themes around work and career could come into play with this full moon, and because it’s occurring at 11 degrees (the Aquarius degree) there could be some additional surprises to watch out for as well. Chris and Almie also discuss what Pluto and Saturn are up to, the Mars-Neptune quincunx on Thursday, July 6th, and the watery vibes that will permeate the end of the week when the moon enters Pisces. 


In "Ask A Scorpio," Chris challenges Almie to a trivia game where she needs to guess the names of celebrities who have Saturn in Pisces and are currently experiencing their Saturn returns.

Episode 161: Mercury Enters Cancer: Compassion and Empathy

Astrology forecast for June 24-30


Chris and Almie ask listeners how the start of Cancer Season has been for them. They talk about this weekend's Virgo Moon and how its attention to detail could feel a bit challenged as the planet Neptune will bring some fuzziness to the picture in the form of a Mercury-Neptune square on Sunday, June 25th. They discuss how Monday, June 26th has the potential for some very combustible energy as Mars will form a tense square with Uranus, leading to spontaneous, rebellious behavior. Mercury will form a quincunx with Pluto on Monday, bringing further tension to the mix, and Mercury will be in the last degree of Gemini, adding to the intensity. A Sun-Saturn trine on Wednesday, June 28th could help stabilize things if the week gets off to a bumpy start, and Neptune turns retrograde on Friday, June 30th, ending the week with some additional cloudiness and fogginess (and hopefully some inspiration too!) 


In "Ask A Scorpio," Chris challenges Almie to a trivia game where she needs to guess the names of celebrities who have Mercury in Cancer.

Episode 159: It's Time to Party! Full Moon in Sagittarius

Astrology forecast for May 28-June 3


Chris and Almie talk about the Sun-Saturn square that could have us feeling a bit challenged over the next few days. They also discuss the moon's passage through Virgo, which might have our minds on overdrive as it meets up with the Gemini Sun. They also talk about Mercury being fully out of its shadow period this Wednesday, May 31st (yay!). That, combined with Jupiter's conjunction with the North Node on June 1st, could have us moving full speed ahead, in new directions we hadn't previously considered. The Sagittarius Full Moon on Saturday, June 3rd will further encourage us to grow, expand, and push boundaries.


In "Ask A Scorpio," Chris asks Almie what it feels like to be a Sagittarius, since Almie's progressed chart shows she is now a Sagittarius, and no longer a Scorpio.

They also discuss the Sun's transition to Gemini where it will remain until June 21st. Gemini Season always brings with it more socializing, networking, and outside-the-box thinking. They also take a look at Mars' recent transition to Leo and how that can fan the flames of our creativity and personal style over the next several weeks. 


In "Ask A Scorpio," Chris asks Almie what her favorite Indiana Jones movie is, and challenges her to a game of Indiana Jones-themed astrological trivia.

Episode 157: Mercury is ALWAYS Retrograde

Astrology forecast for May 14-20


Sometimes it does seem like Mercury is always retrograde, but as of Sunday, May 14th, it no longer will be! Sure, it might take a couple more weeks for Mercury to get back up to its usual speed, and our communications could still suffer a bit between now and the end of May, but at least we're trending in the right direction. Chris and Almie talk about Mercury stationing direct, plus the numerous planetary shifts this week that include, but are not limited to: Jupiter entering Taurus, Mars entering Leo, a New Moon in Taurus, and a Mars-Pluto opposition. This will be an eventful week full of highs and lows, so fasten your seat belts and hold on tight!

Astrology forecast for April 29-May 5


With Pluto turning retrograde on May 1st and a Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on Friday May 5th, this week will not be short on intensity, with great potential for breakdowns and power struggles, but also the opportunity for transformation and reinvention. Chris and Almie discuss the challenging Plutonian energy that will shake things up, but hopefully empower us as well. Be prepared to let some things go this week as there will be a strong push to release relationships and situations that no longer serve us.

This week starts off fairly quietly, but picks up plenty of steam starting Wednesday! Chris and Almie talk about the upcoming Aries New Moon (which is also a Solar Eclipse) that will take place in the evening of Wednesday, April 19th. This is impulsive energy that could lead to some major shakeups. Thursday, April 20th, the Sun enters Taurus and will immediately square off with Pluto, leading to power struggles and the need to dominate or control. Mercury goes retrograde on Friday April 21st, and will remain retrograde until May 14th- as always we can expect our communications to suffer as a result!In "Ask A Scorpio," Chris asks Almie if she's found herself socializing more now that Venus is in Gemini.

Episode 151: Mars Exits Gemini: Sagittarians Rejoice!

Astrology forecast for March 26-31


Chris and Almie talk about Mars finally leaving Gemini, after a 7-month stay in the sign of the Twins. Now that Mars has entered Cancer, we might find our emotions will be especially charged over the next several weeks. Themes around family and the home can intensify, and we might become more internally driven if the go-go-go pace of Mars in Gemini left us exhausted. Chris and Almie also discuss this week's Mercury-Jupiter conjunction that could have us feeling incredibly optimistic on Monday and Tuesday, as well as the Mars-Saturn trine on Thursday that could bring us endurance, as well as rewards for long-term projects we've been working on.  


In "Ask A Scorpio," Chris asks Almie what she thinks about the new Donald Glover show "Swarm" and if she's excited for Season 2 of "Yellowjackets."

Episode 149: Two Words For This Week: "Holy Buckets!"

Astrology forecast for March 11-17


This weekend we're experiencing a lovely Venus-Mars Sextile and a Jupiter-Chiron Conjunction. Both aspects can have us feeling upbeat and empowered. The Scorpio Moon, coupled with the Pisces Sun, could have us deep in our feels this weekend, and we might find ourselves in need of a heart-to-heart conversation, or a hug. Tuesday through Thursday of this week looks to be a bit chaotic with Mars squaring both the Sun and Neptune. Venus could have a little edge to it on Thursday when it transitions from Aries to Taurus and we might be feeling a bit defensive as a result. Friday, March 17th, Mars moves to 26 degrees Gemini, the first time it has advanced that far since it entered the sign of the Twins way back in August of 2022.

In "Ask A Scorpio," Chris asks Almie who she thinks will take home the gold at Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony.

Episode 148: Saturn Enters Pisces: Big, Big Changes!

Astrology forecast for February 26-March 4

Chris and Almie talk about Saturn entering Pisces, its first trip through the sign of Pisces since 1994. Saturn in Pisces brings with it changes to our social structures and over the next two years, there's a good chance certain systems that have outworn their use will be dissolved, eliminated, or restructured. It represents a big transition period for society and will be felt on a global level. In the short term, the moon will pass through outgoing, chatty Gemini Sunday through Tuesday, favoring communications and socializing. Mercury will enter Pisces on Thursday, March 2nd, but not before it forms a serious conjunction with Saturn. Friday, March 3rd the moon moves into Leo, encouraging us to enjoy life and party this weekend (or just stay home and revel in our own awesomeness!)

In "Ask A Scorpio," Chris asks Almie who she thinks will win big at this year's Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Astrology forecast for February 18-24

Chris and Almie talk about Pisces Season and what we can expect as the Sun journeys through the 12th and final sign of the zodiac between now and March 20th. They discuss the Pisces New Moon which will be exact around 11pm pacific time on Sunday, February 19th, and how many of us might be feeling downright exhausted and groggy, but also determined to get things accomplished as there is a Saturn influence to this particular new moon. They also talk about Venus entering the sign of Aries, where it's technically in its detriment, and they give an overview of what to expect this coming week as we leave Aquarius Season behind and start swimming with the fishes. (Or is it "fish?")

In "Ask A Scorpio," Chris asks Almie if she has any final thoughts to share about Aquarius Season, and he also challenges her to a trivia game where she needs to guess the names of famous people who have a Pisces Moon.
