The Cosmic Dispatch

This last episode of the year is all about time: doing time, being a slave to the clock, jumping timelines, time travel, decolonizing time, being a “time millionaire”, liberating ourselves from time, maturation, death, lineage, ancestry, reclaiming time, time served, linear time, time as political tool, time warps, divine timing, and the time that transformation demands. In the first part of this...

VIRGO-PISCES ECLIPSE SPECIAL (featuring a Uranian deep dive). The month of September is host to two eclipses on the Virgo-Pisces axis. The day before the first eclipse, Uranus stations before going retrograde. In this episode, Cory draws the experiential parallels between eclipses and Uranus transits. Mandee Sheeler joins Cory to talk about their personal Uranus transits, and reflect on its recent...

Reality is shaped by our tacit and explicit agreements. Our social systems, codes and organizational constructs only exist because they’re agreed upon. To a large degree, if we experience it, we’re cooperating with it. There is so much creative power, collectively and individually—interpersonally and socially, in owning our decisions about what we agree to. But, deciding well means understanding h...

In today’s episode Cory delivers a short forecast for February; a squishy, sensitive, and romantic month filled with feeling, but shot through with dazzling moments of Aquarian clarity. She follows that with a segment on understanding the sign of Pisces. Other topics covered include: Emotional bias in a world that thinks it’s objective The chasms and bridges between imagination and reality Nationa...

January 2025 + Capricorn Deep Dive | Myths of Structure Today Cory and shea in the catskills explore the embodied experience of Capricorn, and delve into the less-talked about expressions of that zodiac sign. Especially as Saturn (planetary ruler of Capricorn) spends its last months in Pisces and comes into a landscape-shifting square with Jupiter on Christmas Eve, they consider the mystical natur...

It’s been a long time since I’ve done an “OTC” episode! These episodes are less structured and more illustrative. I invited Anastasia Wasco, writer, editor, and psychospiritual guide to talk about her experience of the Gemini-Sagittarius axis. Not only does she have a Sagittarius stellium (including Mercury in Sadge), but she’s also a Gemini rising. She’s pretty much the embodiment of the current...

In this episode Cory gives a quick and dirty breakdown of the major transits of December, with an introduction to Mars’ upcoming retrograde through Leo.

Book a consultation or private group class with Cory, and buy gift certificates: www.astrologyb...

Charles Bukowski’s oft quoted “Find what you love and let it kill you,” always felt very Scorpionic to me. Especially lately, as I witness so much all-or-nothing behavior in the lives of friends, clients, and multiple groups of people. Whether its through martyrdom, power-hoarding, compulsive behavior, or ecstatic surrender, this Scorpio season is probably the most exacting Scorpio season I’ve liv...

Today Cory walks us through the Gates of Hades (aka the autumnal equinox) with an October forecast, and a breakdown of the ultimate Libra solar eclipse and full moon in Aries. This solar eclipse is conjoined with the south node, Mercury, and Lilith. The asteroid Juno hangs out with this eclipse as well. That’s a lot of Libra material begging to be reckoned with. When do things like diplomacy, the...

In today’s episode, Cory and shea in the catskills do a deep dive into the sign of Virgo and talk about their latest offering, Getting Through it Together, an astrology and tarot container designed to help everyone work creatively with the intense astrology of the upcoming eclipses and the sociopolitical pressure-cooker we’re in.  *Also, I have some Mercury Rx corrections for the beginning of the...

LEO SEASON PART 2: THE CENTER CANNOT HOLD I love love love this conversation about Leo that I had with Joselia Hughes. It might be my favorite conversation that I’ve had about Leo so far, because we talk about what is NOT visible with this sign. Of all the people I work with, people with strong Leo signatures are the ones who consistently report that they don’t resonate with the pop-astrology sign...

LEO SEASON PART 1: Royal Reversals and A Meaningful Conversation with Possibility You are getting your Leo season content in 2 parts this season.

In today’s episode Cory is joined by astrologer Camille Michelle Gray to tease out the many facets of this eclipse season, which happens to define this year’s Aries season. They discuss the relationship between the naked desire of Aries and the intellectual accoutrements of Libra, how we develop our sense of worth and agency, and all the ways we might manipulate the feedback we receive in our rela...

Pisces Season 2024: Personalizing the Co-Presence of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces Some alternative titles for this episode included: “The Wisdom in the Suck,” “You’re Over it Because it’s Over,” and “Reality and Illusion: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together.” All joking aside, this Pisces season is a murky, heavy wall of fog, with the crackling energy of disruption trying to break through....

Aquarius Season 2024, featuring Pluto in Aquarius: Outsider Culture, The Interconnected/Fragmented Mind, Relationship Anarchy ...and more. Hey Everybody, I’m excited to share this incredibly Aquarian conversation I had with Anastasia Wasko earlier this month. I felt that I had to put SOMETHING together for this milestone Aquarius season, and I think we found ways in, out, around, and through all o...

This impromptu, casual discussion is an attempt to encapsulate the many features of the dramatic eclipses of October. No script, no notes, no plan.

We say good-bye to a Leo season that explores one type of passion, and we welcome a Virgo season that invites a different kind of passion.
