In the Season 1 finale of Planetary Princesses, Kate and Ashlee step into the emerald glow of Wicked to explore the astrology woven through the world of Oz. Using Elphaba, Glinda, and the other characters as archetypes, they unpack the cosmic themes of good and evil, illusion and truth, power and vulnerability, and the shadow work that shapes each character’s path and illustrates the story of Wicked.
They talk about the astrological signatures of Wicked, from Elphaba’s Lilith-coded outcast journey to Glinda’s Venusian charm and the illusion of goodness, to Fiyero’s flirtatious Mars energy and deeper emotional layers. Along the way, Kate and Ashlee explore the duality of friendship and rivalry, the tension between community and exile, and how power, corruption, sacrifice, and healing play out through house themes, planetary lessons, and mythic storytelling. Their conversation illustrates how Wicked mirrors our own cosmic journeys, and why these characters feel so deeply human.
The episode closes with a heartfelt Season One wrap-up, personal vulnerability, and a sparkling look ahead at the future of Planetary Princesses!
