#16: Conjuring Beauty + Balance, & Making Aesthetic Magic: The Unbearable Lightness of Libra
Oct 7, 202101:18:07Tap to summarizeIn this LUSHIEST episode ever, we talk about libra season archetypes and misconceptions, Libra glamour & beauty rituals and the dark, seedling power of the new moon. We also chat about the dark academia aesthetic (who wants to solve a mystery with the help of an old book?), Libra poets, and get drunk as fuck on both red & white vino. There’s also a little Cardi B, Rumi, & Cisneros. This is probably our drunkest episode ever, and the lush starts right off the bat. Lots of laughing, and tangents, and messiness. It went on way too long (not sorry) and it’s very, very weird, but we promise it will be worth it. You are welcome.

We also get into our personal journey with the Virgo archetype, ancestral magic, Saint work, crystals and pop-culture. We are so excited to be back for the 2021 season and we hope that you will dive in with us!

Transcribe →#12: Creating & Manifesting The Life You Want & Preparing for Autumn Virgo Magic
Aug 29, 202000:58:22Tap to summarizeOur most controversial episode yet! Lots of feelings, thoughts and sass. In this episode we discuss Virgo season and all that it entails — work, showing up to processes, building rituals for yourself, and making sacrifices for what you want. We also get into Cusps (are they real? Are they nonsense? Oh gosh—who knows!). In our “We Call Bullshit” segment we talk about folks who don’t wear masks during COVID, plus slimy “manifestation” gurus who scam people out of their money. We end with rituals for autumn — plants, crystals, and self-care — and ways to connect with Virgo’s earthiness. Lastly, we chat about saying goodbye to summer and welcoming in the magic of autumn.

Jul 24, 202000:56:13Tap to summarizeIn this first episode of the second season of Astrolushes, we offer you: all the insights and magic of Leo season, and how to use Leo energy for confidence, loyalty, and embracing your self-worth. We then delve into your moon and rising signs (and how to use them in your life). Afterward, we get into a new segment called “we call bullshit,” in which we gossip about “hexing the moon,” MLM influencers preying on vulnerability, and so much more. We finish off with a list of things we’ve been loving, including books of poetry and magic. This episode is brought to you by a big summer energy and orange juice and Prosecco. We missed you. Welcome to season 2 of Astrolushes!
Transcribe →BLM + COVID Statement 🖤
Jul 24, 202000:08:16Tap to summarizeAfter a hiatus of a few months, we want to touch base with our listeners and let you know where we’ve been and where we are going. It’s important to us that we speak out about the Black Lives Matter movement and about the COVID-19 pandemic. We missed you.
Transcribe →#10: Increasing Intuition, Water & Dream Rituals & Pisces Magic
Mar 7, 202000:57:22Tap to summarizeIs this our most watery, magical, dreamy episode yet? We think yes. In this episode, we open with poetry, go into Pisces Season magic, mythology (Persephone, Hypnos, the river Lethe in the underworld), explore water and dream magic, ways and reasons to increase intuition, our favorite untranslatable words, and then we decode recurring dreams. This is a delicious, juicy, and star-studded conversation about the importance of liminality and dream state, and the plurality of Pisces. It’s a DREAMY one.
Transcribe →#9: Romantic Compatibility, Lipstick for Your Zodiac Sign, & Aquarius + Capricorn
Feb 12, 202001:04:48Tap to summarizeIn our Capriquarius episode, we dive into Aquarius + Capricorn traits, our recent book faves, Glam Witch (Herkes) and Astrology for Real Relationships (Lanyadoo, Greenaway), glamour magic (lipsticks for each sign!), and then we get into Valentine’s history, Lupercalia, and how to use your chart to approach Valentine’s. Also, happy Valentine’s to everyone — coupled, single, polyamorous, asexual—everyone! 💜
Transcribe →#8 Sagittarius Season: The Most Confessional Episode Ever?
Dec 22, 201900:59:51Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we get rum drunk (too rum drunk, one might say?) and super confessional (we even smash a glass —oops!) about what Sag season means to us personally (a lot, apparently). We talk ideas to bring into Winter Solstice, and we explore the poetry of the Sagittarius. Expansion! Charm! Optimism! Disappearing acts! What does it all really mean? There’s also a long rambles about Taylor Swift, Tina Turner, and other pop culture icons. If you’re looking for deep, intense water sign conversation around fiery goodness, this is it. 🔥
Transcribe →#7 Full Moon Fever & Scorpio Power: Do YOU Feel It?
Nov 13, 201901:08:19Tap to summarizeIn this episode we get DEEP on Scorpio season (is it all sex and death?), intentional book reading (Duras and poetry), full moon magic rituals, shadow work, and automatic writing, Chiron aspects, and our guessing game “who’s a Scorpio?”with SZA & Helena Bonham Carter. Also, we deal with all sorts of lushery and intense feelings. Warning: Very drunk by the end of the episode.
