Skies and Currents

The much-feared and long-debated month of July 2026 is finally here. In a way, July began two days early. If you felt a jolt of psychic whiplash course through your mind and life early this week, you’re not imagining it. Mercury stationed retrograde on Monday, Mars moved into Gemini, and Jupiter has finally exited Cancer after a long residence in our moon’s tidal kingdom. Each of these shifts is s...

Deep breath in… we’ve made it to June. I am coming to you with good tidings, as Venus and Jupiter reach toward each other in the final days of their luminous embrace. The Great Benefic and the Planet of Love will perfect their conjunction on June 9th, and we are headed into a very special weekend as the Moon and Jupiter enter into a state of special reciprocity in honor of the occasion. I am a lit...

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of talking with Brandon Alter of the Spiritual Gayz about the month ahead! We begin the month with the Sun and Moon in opposition, reacquainting themselves with the Scorpio-Taurus axis newly vacated by the chaotic and fickle Uranus, who has finally completed his 7-year stay. You may find that this lunation feels purgative; we are expelling subtle attachments to old wa...

Dear Ones, I am back after a long break with the April forecast. Brandon of the Spiritual Gayz joined me for this conversation and, as always, their voice is a gift and a refreshing treat. We are skyrocketing headlong into the Mars+Saturn conjunction, which dominates the skies for several weeks in mid-April. Unfortunately, Mars is likely to ramp up the tension and confusion in an already challengi...

Theresa and I are back with a new episode covering the action-packed final weeks of February 2026 Today is a big day! Saturn made his final ingress into Aries, where he joins Neptune at zero degrees until they perfect their conjunction on Friday, February 20th. As we move through this collective distortion field, realities will crumble, old dreams will die, and visions of new worlds emerge within...

Happy New Year. I am back after a long pause, and very happy to share the 2026 year-ahead forecast, which I recorded with the wonderful Theresa Ulfa on January 1st. There is so much to say about the year ahead, which is sure to bring twelve months of hurricane-force beginnings and endings, but I am going to try to condense the most essential message I’d like to share about 2026 into a few imperfec...

As I write this, Mercury is about thirty minutes from his station, and we are about to ride along for the messenger’s third and final retrograde journey of 2025. Mercury’s retrogrades always bring the potential for delays, cancellations, and communication mishaps, and, as the lovely Brandon mentions toward the end of the episode, shopping inefficiencies. (This is not the year for Black Friday deal...

Dear Ones, Eclipse season is finally behind us. As the season of shadows abates, Mercury and Jupiter line up to generate an atmosphere of enthusiasm, and if we’re lucky, maybe even a spate of good news. Brandon and I got together last week to record the Libra Season / October Forecast, and as always, the conversation was good medicine for my heart and soul. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I...

Happy New Moon, everyone! As promised, the Skies and Currents Virgo Season podcast is here. I am super excited to share this with you! As always, I had so much fun talking with Brandon, and I so appreciate their perspective and support. I hope it helps each of you navigate the shadowy season ahead. More information about my practice can be found on my website: Skies of Grace Astrology For more inf...

Theresa and I got together this week to discuss the new outer planet configuration. These are tectonic shifts, whose energies will be conspiring and impacting us acutely over the next 2 to 3 years. I hope this conversation helps guide, ground, and orient you to the changes that are unfolding. I hope to write more about these dynamics soon! With love, Christina As a reminder, this is my first year...

Hello, the July forecast is finally out! I was lucky to be joined again by Brandon Alter of the Spiritual Gayz and, as always, feel blessed to have the opportunity to chat with them about the astrology of the month ahead. As of yesterday, Uranus has officially moved into Gemini. The planet of disruption, innovation, and eccentricity will remain here until November, before his brief retrograde back...

We are finally here. Tomorrow evening, Venus moves out of her painfully long stay in Aries and into her home sign of Taurus. Then, on Monday, June 9th, Jupiter departs Gemini for the sign of his exaltation, Cancer. These transits mark a major departure from the difficult and often discouraging astrology that has characterized 2025 so far. While no single transit can magically resolve the real-worl...

Super excited to share this May forecast with Brandon Alter of the Spiritual Gayz! I found the conversation extremely grounding and always appreciate the rich insights Brandon brings to their interpretations. I am looking forward to May, which I hope will bring steadier, more stable skies for all of us. If you are interested in learning more about Brandon and their practice, they can be found at w...

Welcome to the first day of Neptune in Aries. I hope everyone is well! I have missed talking to you all. I am back with a new collaborator, Brandon Alter, and together we tackle the astrology of April 2025. I’m so excited to welcome Brandon into this space. They bring a soothing, soulful and poetic take to their astrological perspective, while still managing to imbue a direct, incisive clarity int...

Beloveds, Mars has officially stationed direct. With the direct station, we feel conflict and tension, but also a renewed sense of forward momentum and change. We drop this episode with bittersweet news. This will be the final episode with Theresa as my regular co-host. We discuss this news in the podcast, but to make a long discussion short; Theresa will be relinquishing her role as host of the S...

We are deep in it. This is a relentless Mars retrograde, and I hope each of you is faring as well as possible in the pressure cooker. Theresa and I had a really fun time in this episode, meandering down a long tangent about our love for David Lynch. However, I do feel that his life and birth chart offer some hope and relevant instruction for these challenging times. I hope this episode offers some...

Hello from Kansas! Theresa and I are together, enjoying our tradition of visiting one another in person at the New Year. Last night, we recorded the Year Ahead Forecast, which has been our tradition since 2021 (and was, in fact, the inception of the podcast itself!). In this forecast, we break down the main themes of the upcoming year and offer a brief summary for each month. We hope this overview...

Mercury has stationed direct—thank god—because his retrograde was not easy on our podcast. Between Tess falling ill and a series of technological mishaps, we’ve been off the air for a few weeks. Unfortunately, Mercury’s hijinks aren’t quite resolved yet. We had a problem with this recording that forced me to use the backup audio, so there’s a bit of fuzz in the background. Hopefully, everything wi...

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone had an enjoyable and peaceful holiday week. I’m getting the podcast out a little later than I’d hoped. We recorded the episode on Monday, Nov. 25, the evening of Mercury’s retrograde station. But luckily, most of what we discussed pertains to the astrology of next week, beginning with the new moon in Sagittarius tomorrow morning, Sunday, Dec. 1. The first week of De...

Tomorrow, Nov 15th, Theresa and I will hold a live session on Zoom at 4 p.m. All are welcome. Please consider this a safe space to ask questions, process feelings, and receive support as we navigate these unsettling times. The Moon has just moved into Taurus, and the Full Moon will occur tomorrow midday. This lunation has a disruptive feeling, conjoining Uranus, which brings the potential for surp...

We’re back! Tomorrow morning is the long-awaited Mars-Pluto opposition. We’ve been feeling the build-up to this aspect for many weeks, so if this weekend feels incredibly heavy or charged, give yourself tons of grace and know that the skies are adding significant pressure to the collective psyche. This is a short episode, and I apologize for not managing to post it sooner; it was an unusually busy...

Starting off with an apology because I was hoping to get this episode out to everyone over the weekend! We spend a considerable amount of time talking about Thursday’s disruptive full moon in Aries, and I believe we are already feeling the build-up to that lunation. The moon has just moved into Aries as I’ve been writing these episode notes, so we are off to the races. Take special care of yoursel...

We are back with a new episode, and I’m happy to report that I think we’re heading into a relatively bright week. The second week of October feels like a hopeful reminder of our big-picture plans and an opportunity to receive a bit of nurturance from the great benefic as he stations retrograde. In this episode, we outline the week ahead and project into some of the more challenging aspects of the...

We are back with part two of our eclipse series. We tackle the upcoming solar eclipse in Libra, as well as the Mercury cazimi and the ongoing conversation between Mars, Venus, and Saturn. Look out for an email from me this week with October updates, including live session dates and reading discount codes for paid subscribers. Wishing everyone a restful week. Take extra care of yourselves as the ec...
