In this episode, I sit down with the radiant Colin Bedell of QueerCosmos to spill the cosmic tea on astrology, queerness, and why connection (and a good laugh) is soul medicine right now. We unpack shadow work, divine love, and what it really takes to thrive in the Age of Aquarius—no fluff, no filters, just truth, joy, and astrology that actually breathes.

Colin Bedell is an astrologer, author, and artist who explores identity and relationships through his work. As co-founder of QueerCosmos, he creates accessible resources for LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies. Featured on Good Morning America, Cosmopolitan.com, and Discovery+'s Written in the Stars, Colin blends spirituality, scholarship, and creativity to inspire connection and belonging.
