#6 Mean Tweets: Which signs do you hate?
Oct 4, 201901:34:02Tap to summarizeIn this very lush-ous episode, we get into our ‘Mean Tweets’ segment, spurred on by a simple tweet we asked, “Which sign do you hate and why?” So, we discuss astrological bias, archetypes, and resistance to aspects of the self. Basically, we get into the petty gossip, and share some of those mean tweets. (Does Lisa hate Virgos? Gasp!). We also chat about “the elements of the elements,” which is our attempt to explore how the elements play out in each sun sign. We also play our guessing game (what sign is Meghan Markle?). Tune in and get the fresh gossip.
Transcribe →#5: Zodiac Fragrances + Astro Houses
Jul 17, 201901:22:26Tap to summarizeDuring this full moon, partial lunar eclipse, cancer season, Mercury RX recording the Astrolushes get into the Astrological houses, which fragrance notes work best with each sign (to help you build your own scents), pop culture (including Tiffany Haddish + a focus on foster care), Lana Del Rey as a cancer, plus lots of wine (it’s cancer season!). We also tackle astrological cultural appropriation and some of our future episode plans around astrological history and culture. Plus a bonus segment on why cancers are freaks in bed!
Transcribe →#4: Your Planets + Our Secrets: A Deeper Look At Our Charts & Ourselves
May 16, 201901:06:17Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we discuss what each and every planet means in relation to astrology, giving you a glimpse into which planet rules which sign, and what lessons the planets can teach us. If your Venus is in cancer, for example, what does that mean? We also go in-depth about our personal backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences + how we came to astrology, magic and ritual. Did Lisa lead a ritual to call upon the dark lord at 13? Take a guess! How did Andi come to Stregheria? Find out! It was important to us that our listeners got to know us a little better, and because we're two SUPER emotional water signs, we really didn't hold back here. You were warned! In short, this episode deals in the heavy topics — like poverty and trauma — as much as it deals in the cosmos. So grab a cup of tea or a glass of red and tune in.
Transcribe →#3. Your Sun, Moon & Rising Signs: What do They Say About You?
Apr 19, 201900:58:13Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we get into the depths with the Big 3: your sun sign, your moon sign, and your rising sign. We talk practical applications for this knowledge (dating! Job interviews! Parties! Shadow work! Writing!). We chat about our Twitter fans’ charts, and our recent favorites, including The Astrological Grimoire by Shewolfe & Gravesguard, the Sanctuary World app, Baron Fig, Light Magic for Dark Times and Billie Eilish. We also do a rapid-fire celebrity sign guessing game round and, of course, enjoy our fine red wine. And lots of it (but not too much like last time!).
Transcribe →#2. What Are The 4 Elements? + Aries Season Magic
Mar 23, 201901:09:28Tap to summarizeAries season is upon us! We talk about Aries qualities and Aries season lessons and the elements! Are you earth, water, air or fire? Join us as we get chat cities as signs and Hogwarts Houses. We also guess the signs of Aidy Bryant and John Keats, among others. We get into astrological ‘compatibility’, and why we think it could be reductive. . Also more wine. Also more Rihanna lyrics. And a shout out to author Colin Bedell.

Transcribe →#1: AstroLushes: The Birthing
Mar 10, 201900:50:03Tap to summarizeIn which we discuss what astrology means in the contexts of our REAL lives, reductive astrology memes, pop culture, folk magic and trauma. We also do a Rapid Fire Round of Guess That Sign & discuss future episodes. Background noises includes a warm roaring fire & distressed cat whining (he’s okay, he just wants attention). We also mention the podcast That’s So Retrograde, which has a great episode of Drunk Astrology, as well as a new podcast called Drunk Astrology + we send lots of love to Apothic Wine, and the new books HausWitch: Transform Your Home With Witchcraft. We also mention Luna Luna Magazine (lunalunamagazine.com) and the book Light Magic for Dark Times. You can follow us at @lisamariebasile @anditalarico @astrolushes!
