Skies and Currents

This week marks the first anniversary of the Skies & Currents podcast! I’m astounded that an entire year has passed, and I am profoundly and sincerely grateful for the personal growth and opportunity this podcast has brought into my life. Sincerest thank you to every one of you who has listened and supported us along the way. Theresa and I never imagined we could grow and sustain this audience and...

Happy Holiday weekend! I don’t have much time to write today, but I wanted to get the new episode out to you all. Tomorrow is the new moon in Virgo, and next week heralds a transition to markedly new skies. Theresa and I talk in detail about what to expect as we head into the Mars retrograde cycle. I hope it’s helpful! Theresa and I will hold a live session for the Sun | Saturn opposition on Frida...

The Jupiter-Saturn square is nearly upon us, and of all the noise happening in the skies right now, it’s the conversation between these two planets that’s setting the stage for what’s next. In this episode, we talk a bit about why this moment feels so heavy, the nature of Jupiter-Saturn squares, and what Mercury might have to say about navigating the week ahead. Today is the Mercury cazimi; this o...

Dear Ones, We have arrived. August is arguably the most critical month of 2024, so strap in and prepare for the storm of activity ahead! Wishing everyone here big wins and clarity through the hurricane-force cosmic winds. I hope the episode provides a clear and helpful outline of the weeks ahead. We talk a great deal about the activation of the Jupiter-Saturn cycle. It’s not the sexiest astrology,...

Dear Ones, Today is an important day in the ongoing story of 2024. As Mars transits into Gemini, he activates his square with Saturn, as well as one of the most important configurations of this year: the Jupiter-Saturn square. Theresa and I spend most of this episode discussing what this means for the next six weeks. As Mars forces the conversation between these two heavyweights to the forefront,...

Dear ones, Welcome back to another episode! We hope everyone enjoyed the new moon in Cancer last weekend and had a great start to the summer. We are in a bit of an ominous astrological window. Below are some brief words to frame my thinking about the next couple of weeks + DEATH MEDITATION & T i b e t a n  C h ö SIGN UP INFORMATION! In the ongoing story of 2024, July represents a critical juncture...

Dear Ones, We’re back. Tess and I are here to tackle the astrology of July. It’s a doozy of a month—a mix of supportive and catastrophic astrology that will land differently for everyone. Wishing everyone here a hefty dose of the positive and tons of capacity to move through challenges with grace. We will be holding a group session for the Cancer new moon on July 6th at 10 am on Zoom. All are welc...

Dear Ones, How are the skies treating you? Theresa and I have a new episode for your beloved ears. Enjoy the week ahead and I hope everyone has a fun and insightful Mercury cazimi on Friday! ICYMI, I am offering a new donation-based “pay what you can” reading to the Substack community. We chat about it in the new episode, and I am including the description + details about how to sign up below. PAY...

Friends, How is everyone feeling? We’ve reached a major chapter break in the year, and I hope the predominant feeling is one of exhilaration as Jupiter opens up new pathways for communication and connection during his long-heralded ingress into Mercury’s excitable air domain. In this episode, we talk at length about the square between Jupiter and Saturn in the context of the much larger cycle at p...

Dear Ones, I hope this final week of Jupiter and Venus in Taurus brings each of you many sweet gifts and deep, embodied pleasure. This Thursday is the Venus and Jupiter conjunction, and I hope these two planets highlight a profound and fulfilling end to Jupiter’s long transit through Taurus. In this episode, Tess and I look ahead to Jupiter’s year-long transit through Gemini, which begins on Satur...

Dear ones, We are back after a short break. I hope you all are faring well. In this episode, we chat about the ongoing vibes of Taurus season, the relationship between Venus and pleasure, avoiding determinism in astrology, and fighting for the life you want. We also discuss the Venus workshop we are holding next weekend. Below, find a description of the workshop and a link to sign up if you’d like...

Dear Ones, Today is the full moon in Scorpio, and we are back with a proper forecast for Taurus season. I’m happy to report that we are moving into very auspicious skies. Tess and I wanted to spend a whole episode breaking down the astrology of late April and May so you have a wealth of information to use for taking advantage of the season. Love to you all, Christina & Theresa Work with us: Astrol...

Dear Ones, Today is the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus! For those of you who missed our episode on the subject, this is a very special aspect representing breakthroughs, innovations, and achievements that last. This is the culmination of the year-long transit of Jupiter through Taurus, as well as a blessing upon innovations and changes we’ve been enacting in the Taurus aspect of our lives since...

Friends, The intention behind this episode was to begin our series on the Zodiac by discussing the qualities and significance of Aries, but it morphed into a very different conversation. We will circle back to the discussion of Aries this week, and this episode gives an important primer for understanding the zodiac and the signs. But the bulk of this conversation discusses the role of the planets...

Dear ones, Apologies for the delay in releasing this episode. Theresa and I recorded it earlier this week, but we encountered some unusual connection issues, which required additional editing to navigate the sound problems that arose. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to address it until yesterday. While the sound quality may be a little spotty in places, I've implemented some fixes to prevent thi...

Friends! Many apologies for our long, unintended absence from the airwaves. Theresa and I were both hit with a wave of illness last week that we simply could not overcome. We actually tried to record over the weekend and had to call it quits after about 15 minutes because our bodies said no. But through all of it, we’ve missed you!! We were finally able to record on Monday, and we spent the time t...

Hi Friends, I hope everyone is well this first week of March. I'm looking forward to sharing this week’s episode with you and shifting the conversation from Saturn to Jupiter. Apologies that my audio is a little rough at the outset of this episode, but it clears up about 15 minutes in. Starting next week, I am going to be offering special readings on the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction. I will send out...

Dear Friends, We are super excited to share this week’s episode. We did a deep dive into Saturn and his powerful role in mediating our experience of Divine light through materiality and shadow. We love Saturn and are looking forward to the wisdom and shifts that emerge from its conjunction with the Sun and Mercury tomorrow. We are holding a live meeting on Zoom tonight to discuss this event. If an...

Happy Pisces Season! We have an appropriately mushy Piscean conversation for you all this evening. I’d hoped to get this out yesterday, but it’s been a week of moving a little slower than usual and prioritizing my family’s needs as my mom recovers from surgery. I hope all of you are faring well and navigating this dual Aquarius/Pisces energy with plenty of grace and forgiveness for yourself and ev...

Dear Friends, Beginning with a Pluto/Mars conjunction, this is a week Theresa and I flagged as potentially tumultuous in our year-ahead forecast. However, as with most challenging astrological moments, the same energy that triggers the potential for tumult is available to each of us as individuals to work with as we choose. Mars is likely to inspire a desire to take action this week or to move thr...

Hi Friends, Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is well. I'm excited to share this episode with you, and I hope everyone enjoys the Aquarius Stellium we are heading towards. This month has the potential to be intense, but I hope we can all channel the energy and momentum into projects that are positive and productive for our lives. Theresa was recording from a house full of sick children, so there's a...

Welcome to the announcement phase of Pluto in Aquarius. I am excited to share this conversation with you and wade into this new territory together! This conversation looks ahead to the next 20 years, as well as covering the most immediate impact of the transit over the next month as Mercury, Mars, and Venus pay their respects to the newly ingressed planet. We didn’t get to revisiting the Pluto in...

Dear Ones, Pluto shifts into Aquarius in a few hours! This is a huge shift with implications for the next two decades, but before we jump into an analysis of what’s to come we wanted to look back at the 16-year transit of Pluto in Capricorn. This conversation is split into two parts. Enjoy Pt. 1, we will be recording Pt. 2 tomorrow. A quick reminder that we will be hosting an open conversation on...

Dear Friends, Tess and I have a brief, lighthearted episode for you this week, following last week's extensive three-hour year-ahead forecast. This episode focuses on the week ahead, delving into the new moon in Capricorn, the third iteration of the Mercury Neptune square, and the personal and generational impacts of Pluto in Capricorn. Thank you, as always, for listening. Substack subscribers are...

Happy New Year! It’s become a tradition for us to look at the trends of the coming year together. Because we’re covering a much larger length of time than usual, it’s much longer than our typical podcast. Next week we’ll resume looking more in-depth week by week. Thank you to all our listeners! May you all have a joyous year ahead! With Love, Christina & Theresa Skies and Currents is a reader-supp...
