What to Do When the Astrology Scares You
6d ago00:40:01Tap to summarizeHave you ever looked ahead at your transits and worried that something upsetting was about to happen? In this episode, we're talking about how fear or anxiety can distort the way we read our charts, why astrology can’t predict one inevitable outcome, and what to do when or if a “daunting” transit sends you spiraling. I'll also share an experience I once had worrying about a distant transit, and how it played out much differently than I initially imagined.Subscribe to my Substack: stefaniekateboucher.substack.comInterested in a reading or want to check out my New Moon Circle?

Wait...How Can a New Moon Be Void of Course? A Listener Question Answered
2w ago00:21:16Tap to summarizeA listener recently asked a question that seems like a contradiction: How can someone be born on a New Moon if their Moon is also void of course? Doesn't a conjunction with the sun mean that the moon isn't void? In this episode, we unpack what each of these astrological concepts means and how both can be true at the same time. You'll also find out how these concepts apply to the upcoming New Moon in Cancer, what having a void of course new moon might feel like in a natal chart, and how this concept is being reflected in my own solar return (and life) this year.Want to prepare for the New Moon in Cancer?
