Constellating Cosmos (an astrological lens)

In this show, Todd Elliott joins me to talk about his book The Cunning Farmer. I was so pleased to arrive back in Dartmoor to this book waiting for me in my office. It's truly beautiful and dense with practical magic you can apply not just to the land but to your life as well. It's been a while since I've done a Plants & Planets show, so hopefully it was worth the wait. enjoy order his book:   to...

Dan Waites returns to look at the minor grand trine forming this summer — what André Barbault once called the peak of greatness for the 21st century. We ask whether he was right, follow the long thread of the Pluto-Neptune cycle and the Yugas, and circle the questions everyone seems to be wrestling with around the dinner table right now. his site:   enjoy -adam       to learn Astrology: ....to sup...

In this pod, Gianni joins me to discuss current markets through the lens of Financial Astrology. He's been studying this branch of the astro-tree much longer than I, and it's always a treat to learn while having these conversations. He's an MMA analyst like Pouyan , who was recently on the show, so if you enjoyed that one, you'll really enjoy this one.   Gianni's site: https://www.themercator.com/...

In this pod, Amanda returns to talk about her NEW book Life by the Stars.  If you like victory tales--or stories that make you want to take more chances in life--you will love it.  If you aren't familiar with Amanda, she is the founder of Astrology Hub (which I'm sure many of you know by now).  Have a listen. Get the book.  Take a leap yourself. enjoy -adam pre-order here: https://www.amazon.com/L...

In this show, Andrea returns to discuss why the centaur is the mentor (in Chiron's case) and what she has planned in NM for the Equinox. We explore Eris and many other topics, as well.   And…if you'd like to attend Andrea's retreat, click the horse below (if you can't see it, visit her site or my substack for the link:           to learn Astrology: ....to support my work and learn astrology all at...

In this conversation, Christeen and I skip around the Financial Universe, touching on themes stretching from crypto to silver, Sedna to psychic dolphins. It was a fascinating hour—even though our internet was strained. I did my best to patch it up, but still, I think you will enjoy your listening. Let me know how it goes… Christeen's site: https://financialuniverse.co.uk/   to learn Astrology: ......

What happens when you spend your career studying ancient mysteries, stumble across a few artifacts offering clues to something like the Sumerian Zodiac, and apply AI to it? Well, I suppose you get this latest book from Graham Phillips. Whether you've read his previous books or seen him on Ancient Aliens, he was a great hang, and I learned loads from our conversation. I hope you enjoy your listen....

This conversation was a pleasant surprise. I reached out to Ray Merriman to return for a yearly conversation about Financial Astrology and the markets, and he pointed me instead to Pouyan. He works with Ray at MMA and was a treat to talk to. He shares his story of how he got involved in Financial Astrology, alongside many helpful anecdotes, and a little assessment of what's to come in Q4 with tran...

Each year, I try to make my way up to Wales to spend some quality time with Mark. We also try to record a sliver of our endless conversations. This year, we stumbled into the existential questions around astrology: Why did we get involved? Why are we still involved? And really, what is valuable about it…? Some of these ideas, along with many others, can be found in this short podcast. I hope you e...

In this show, Dan returns—this time solo without SJ—to discuss the state of the world and some attractive underground theories. I always learn from Dan. He's quite the investigator. With mundane astrology on his side, there is a cornucopia of ideas to explore that give that extra layer—or context—to everything that is happening. I loved this conversation. I hope you do as well. watch Dan's Youtube...

In this little solo pod, I reflect on 16 years (2 Venus cycles) of podcasting and doing astrology. It's been a journey. The show is part educational and a moment to check in with you all. A lot has changed in the 16 years of doing these, and I do feel there will be another 8, yet for now, I'm still pupating…. enjoy, adam       to learn Astrology: ....to support my work and learn astrology all at t...

In this episode, Gemini Brett returns for the 2nd part of our little astronomy discussions. It's an essential lesson around the lunar standstill. Something clicked for me in this conversation. I hope it does for you as well. enjoy, adam   his site: https://geminibrett.com       to learn Astrology: ....to support my work and learn astrology all at the same time   to work with me: ...to schedule a r...

I'm excited to share with you the long-overdue conversation with Ray Merriman. He's been on my radar since the beginning, I just never felt the time was right to invite him on…until now. I'm glad I waited. I was able to keep up and we had an engaging chat about all things related to financial astrology. Even if you aren't interested in the topic, I'm sure there is something in this conversation fo...

This show was meant to be about lunar standstills, yet that's not quite what happened.  It often happens with Brett and I.  Lots of Gemini between us.  What ended up being discussed were the three main zodiacs, some astronomy, and a hint of the lunar standstill.  We will treat this one as part 1; part 2 will cover what we originally set out to explore.  It's more lecture than anything, but I think...

In this show, Andrea Michelle joins me to discuss her fascinating work with fusing the Goddess Asteroids with the Venus synodic cycle.  It's a novel approach, and one that I learned a lot from in talking with her.  If you are a student of either, you are going to enjoy her insights tremendously. -adam her site: https://andreamichellehaeckel.com to work with me: https://www.adam-sommer.com/ ...to a...

Mark Jones returns to the show to exploring the state of the Outer Planets with me.  I recently made my seasonal visit to Wales to hang with him and record a slice of our constant stream of philosophical conversations.  It's always a pleasure to share these with you.  I hope you learn something from being a fly on the wall with this one. Enjoy to work with me: https://www.adam-sommer.com/ ...to ad...

In this podcast, Joe Landwehr joins me to talk about this Age of Uncertainty—which is also part of the title of his latest book.  He has over 50 years of experience with Astrology and takes a similar mythopoetic approach as I do.  I'm glad he found me and reached out.  It was a real treat to speak with him.  Enjoy...and check out his book as well. his book:  https://www.joelandwehr.com/ to work wi...

Adam Gainsburg returns! It's been years since he was last on the show, but after quite the journey, he and I pick up right where we left off: talking about planetary cycles.  I'm not sure how many times Adam has been on the show, but what I can say is that all his appearances have taught me something new about these synodic cycles.  I hope you enjoy and learn something new as well from listening....

Ray Grasse returns to the pod to discuss his new book of essays So, What Am I Doing Here, Anyway? Ranging beyond the astrological into the philosophical, it's a thought provoking collection of the questions we've all asked before, like: How does synchronicity relate to astrology? How in the world do charts still work once a person has already died? Or, Why is it that we are pattern-seeking creatur...

In this pod, I give some time to explain the latest changes to the show.  For many of you, nothing may seem to change; for others, it may be confusing or abrupt.  Inspired by the Jungian concept of constellating psyche, this new title borrows some of its spirit around fully engaging with "archetypes" and leans more into the planetary side of the equation.  There will be more focus on cycles moving...

This is the first show under the new banner/name Constellating Cosmos.  It's the third name and hopefully the last.  To set off on this new journey, I've decided to share this conversation I recently had with Jonathan Fredette.  He's a fellow mycophile out in Oregon and also has a mushroom company called Evolved Mushrooms.  I really enjoyed meeting him.  It reminded me that I've never met a mushro...

In this show, I try to reconcile the differences between Stoicism and Astrology.  There was a time when they existed side-by-side, and it seems they are doing so again today.  Both have seen a generous climb in popularity in recent years and I feel they need eachother—well, one needs the other more than the other.  I make a case for this in the pod.  It's a solo one.  I hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, Jenn returns to share with us some intel from the outer edges of our solar system.  You see, in the early 20th century, there was a school of German astrologers who became fascinated in these "hypothetical" planets beyond Neptune.  This was before Pluto's discovery and gained much momentum in certain circles.  If you have ever seen the option to put Cupido or Hades in your chart,...

This is the final podcast of 2023.  Instead of doing a recap of the year, I've decided to choose the top 3 themes of 24' I've been thinking about, and share what I think about them.  It's also a solo show.  I know, I attempted to do all of them as solo shows at the start of the year, but had to squeeze a few conversations in there.  I felt lonely.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.  See you next year!!...

In this show, I share one of my favorite theories of how astrology works and how such a simple technique can change your life forever.  It relates to dreaming.  The overlap between dreams and transits has intrigued me from the beginning; I have learned so much from the interplay between the two that I feel it's now time to share a few of my findings.  I hope it inspires you to do the same.
