Astrology & StuffSeason 2 Episode 3: Transcendental Glitter with Taylor KowaldThanks for being Here!Gemini season is here and happy! Taylor, who is also a Gemini Sun/Libra rising friend and client (same as friend Roxanne from last time), shows us what happens when Air and Fire come together - all the Love, all the Light, as well as a heady courage that fuels our abilities to take on the world, one smile at a time. (Seriously, her smile is megawatt- see for yourself on her Insta).Taylor Kowald is a woman, a mother, an actress, a meditator, and an all around passionate person moving...2025-05-301h 14

Astrology & StuffSeason 2 Episode 2: The Unbearable Lightness of Being an Air Sign with Roxanne StarnikHey, thanks for being Here!This episode treats us to a conversation I had with my friend and practitioner Roxanne Starnik. This is a Gemini/Libra-fueled convo, as there aren't many subjects we don't gleefully cover, and we finish almost all of them (my fault, not hers)! We discuss the fundamental importance of synchronicities in life, the necessary place for Pause, what it's like to have a Cancer moon and dumb guides, the abundant grace of the Gene Keys, and the absorbing magic of Small Nature. Roxanne Starnik is a guide for the tender-hearted, the...2025-05-161h 15
Astrology & StuffSeason 2 Episode 1: Plutonian Etiquette 101 (aka Yes, Mistress)Thanks for being Here!What a fantastic way to open Season 2- with a conversation about the transmutation that happens within our deepest selves, and the inherent creativity, beauty and liberation that resides there. As I've said before, this season is all about harmony, connection, and the relationships between our inner desires and their external manifestations. Going on this journey with us today is the inimitable Ms. Themis. Ms. Themis is an artist dominatrix, decadent disciplinarian, and distinguished keeper of the sacredly enslaved. She uses Domination as a pathway to soulful liberation and...2025-05-021h 11
Astrology & StuffWelcome to Season 2!Welcome back and thanks for being Here! Astrology & Stuff is returning very soon - with guests! I am so excited to get to share some of my favorite people with you. Each episode, they will share with us their own personal stories of astrological embodiment - how they relate to their astrology, and how the language has enabled them to connect with themselves as authentic individuals, as well as develop more enriching lives. I wanted to have these specific folks on because they have been such an inspiration to me at one time or another in my life, but...2025-04-2313 min
Astrology & StuffEpisode 31! From the Patreon: Why Debunk Spiritual Bypassing?Thanks for being Here! This is an episode from the Patreon, and as such it is different from the usual Astrology & Stuff episodes that I record and edit, as it's a bit more abrupt/raw. About halfway through recording it for the Patreon, I decided that I wanted to hear from a wider audience about this particular subject. Welcome to the family! ;)In this episode, I try to take a critical look at the subject of "Spiritual Bypassing." The concept and practice specifically, but also the general culture from which it has emerged. It's been my intention...2024-08-2951 min
Astrology & StuffEpisode 30! Planetary Embodiment: Jupiter, Planet of Open Minds & Curious HeartsThanks for being Here! This episode continues the mini-serious of planetary embodiment- or, how we can help bring all this astrology down to Earth a bit. Today we discuss Jupiter, Saturn's partner in teaching us the fundamental laws of universal reality. What does it feel like to move through a Jupiter transit? What forms can expansion take in living a conscious life? What happens when we conflate expansion with capitalism? These light and fluffy questions and more are discussed.Love the show? Leave a review, share on your socials, or simply tell a friend :)Want...2024-07-021h 13
Astrology & StuffEpisode 29! Astrological Permission Slips & Your SunThanks for being Here! In this minisode we take a quick-yet-deep dive into some possible mechanisms of our natal astrology- i.e. how our astrology actually expresses itself in our lives, with an emphasis on the "how." Today we focus on the Sun - planetary embodiment for creative self-expression - and where it sits in our chart. In doing so, we may divine clues as to which types of paths our creative fire prefers as it moves through and out of us. You can learn more about me and my offerings at my website, as well as...2024-04-2432 min
Astrology & StuffEpisode 28! Another Very Special Episode- This Pisces Season, things are a bit differentThanks for being Here! Here is another transit-specific episode, taken straight from this week's Patreon-exclusive Transit Talk. I didn't anticipate the Pisces-centered transits of this week to go so hard, but there it is. I also dive a bit deep into the significance of my Soulful Doula sessions, which is always fun for me :) As with all of these Patreon episodes that I make available to the public here on the pod, I'm a bit more casual in my delivery, and there's a bit less polish, editing-wise. Want to book a session in March? Head on over...2024-02-2858 min
Astrology & StuffEpisode 27! Pluto, Mars, and the Great UnconsciousThanks for being Here! This episode is a bit topical, but not really. Pluto has been on every astrologer's mind for quite a bit, and I'm no exception. This episode was recorded a mere few days before Pluto moves into Aquarius, and actually settles down there (with the exception of a few weeks in late 2024) until the 2040's. As we dive into the greater significance of Pluto, we explore the relationship the planet has with Mars, the mechanism of the Unconscious and how it relates to the body and human life, and how Capricornian values naturally evolve into Aquarian...2024-01-1656 min
Astrology & StuffA Very Special (26th) Episode: The Cancer Full Moon!Thanks for being Here! I've opened the Patreon vault for y'all just in time for tonight's Cancer full moon. If you can't listen before the moon, no worries, we will be benefitting from this transit for the next six months (moonths?). There's a lot of re-parenting going on this week, as well as welcoming in a greater sense of maturity and authority around spiritual evolution, and being in general. In short, if you want off The Healing Train, you're not alone, and it may just be time to pick a different ride altogether...Curious about what I...2023-12-2648 min
Astrology & StuffEpisode 25! Planetary Embodiment: Saturn, Planet of Truth & BeautyThanks for being Here! This episode begins a new series all about bringing the astrology a bit more down to Earth- and for that, we ironically need the planetary bodies. Today we discuss what Saturn is "in charge of," how they show up in our charts and lives, and what it may feel like in our bodies to move through a Saturn transit. Love the show?

Astrology & StuffEpisode 24! One Astrologer's Argument to Normalize Eclipse SeasonThanks for being Here! Today's journey/mild rant into the Astroverse takes us into the subject of all things eclipse: Season, energy, etc. Without giving too much away, I do my best to argue that most eclipses...aren't that big of a deal, astrologically speaking. And with eclipse season underway, perhaps we can benefit from being a bit more choosy with where we point our attention/intention/energy! Interested in being a guest on the pod? I'm looking for guests who have a connection to astrology in general, their own astrology in particular, and a desire to talk about it...2023-10-0548 min

Wowzers, Penny, there is some fire in the atmosphere, and it's not just because its summer in the South! I was about halfway through recording this week's Patreon-exclusive Transit Talk when I realized this info was just too juicy not to share. We've got major empowerment, major clarity, major (r)evolution vibes. I promise I will be back next week (read: probably the week after) to continue our journey through those all-powerful Retrogrades, so hang tight!

Astrology & StuffEpisode 19! The Nodal Shift, Part 2: Hello & GoodbyeThanks for being Here! Here's a bit more about the impending (at the time of this recording) Nodal ingress of Aries and Libra. But first, we begin to say goodbye to Taurus and Scorpio. What can we expect from this transit? What have we learned/gained from the last one? Does it even matter?! (that last question typed as I remembered that we will be experiencing 8ish planets retrograde all at the same time very soon).Like the show? Perhaps you would like to support!Check out my offerings or book a reading hereFind me on Insta2023-07-1353 min
Astrology & StuffEpisode 18! The Nodal Shift and How Everything Might Not Be All About YouHey thanks for being Here! This week we dive into an upcoming transit- that of the lunar nodes (North Node and South Node) moving from the signs of Taurus and Scorpio into Aries and Libra, respectively. This is a 90-minute recording that felt like 45 minutes, so get ready for a lot of information coming your way!

Things should be back to normal next week, whatever normal is. ;)In the meantime, you can find me:at my Website:on Instagramand my PatreonLove you all!2023-05-3135 min
