Episode 170 of the podcast features a discussion between Chris Brennan, Kelly Surtees, and Austin Coppock where we provide an overview of the major planetary alignments happening in September of 2018.
This month a number of planets are finally moving direct again, after a period where several were retrograde at the same time over the past few months.
Other major alignments this month include Mars squaring Uranus for the third and final time, Venus moving into Scorpio and preparing to turn retrograde next month, and Jupiter making an exact sextile to Pluto.
At the top of the episode we discuss the recent Vox Explained episode on astrology that appeared on Netflix recently, and also talk about some other astrology podcasts that have been launched over the past few months.
Below you will find the show notes, followed by links to download the recording of this episode, which is available in both audio and video versions.
First, we have a bunch of news and announcements.
New Professional Astrologer Course
Chris just launched a new course on how to become a professional astrologer and create a successful astrological practice.
It is called The Professional Astrologer Course.
The purpose of the course is to help students make the transition into practicing astrology professionally, so that you can eventually make it your primary vocation.
We also focus on some different strategies for growing your audience and business, in order to achieve success and financial stability in your chosen career field.
The course was just launched this week, and you can get in now at the introductory price.
New Shirts from The Astrology Podcast
Listeners of the podcast have been asking for merch for a couple of years now, and I’m excited to announce that we have just launched a new line of branded t-shirts!
We have about a dozen different shirt designs up now, and there will be more coming soon. You can see all of the shirts we are currently offering on our page on Amazon:
The Astrology Podcast T-Shirts
The shirts come in a variety of different colors and sizes, and they are printed on super soft premium quality t-shirt blanks from Bella + Canvas. They tend to have a slimmer fit, so you may want to order one size larger than your normal size to get the right fit.
We are also actively soliciting new shirt designs and ideas, so if you want to pitch one please email Chris at astrologue@gmail.com.
If you end up getting a shirt then please send in a picture of yourself wearing it, and we will probably build a gallery of listener submitted pictures in the next few weeks!

Neptun opposing planets in Virgo (concerning the election chart) makes the precision of virgo more blurry or let us say Neptune is the fogginess or fog and weakens the clear orientation of virgo…
sugar, strings and sextiles
get them ready for venus retro
send me one plz
nice show
big up
A Mars profected year for me – when he stationed direct last week (Aug 28) it felt like a blast off. The third Mars Uranus square on the 18th think will bring relief ?(hoping). Those two still finishing up (sept 9th) T square but now without Venus’s struggle to let go. Interesting. 2 early spring events, the new Moon in Aries and this Mars Uranus square series are now concluding and are concurrent with the Saturn retro in April now back on track. September looks to be a very ” finish in the Fall what was started in the Spring” kind of month. Very much holding true for me as insane as it is. Also, the last Full Moon in Aries in a way finishes up the 7 year Uranus in Aries cycle. Hope so – it was a bear in natal house 8. Uranus will be in Taurus for 7 years by the next lunation in Aries 2019. Thank the Stars !!!
Just wondering if you have any plans to offer tank style t-shirts?
Thanks
I don’t think that option is available at the moment through the printer I’m using, although I’m hoping that it will be at some point.
I suggest contemporary instead of modern. Modern (capital M) astrology is confusing because it refers to an historical time period (also, Modernity) and modern as an adjective has the meaning of up-to-date or current. But as a time period, Modern is late 19th to mid to late 20thC, especially in art and literature and critical theory, and it seems, astrology. One also finds ‘Early Modern,’ which some have said extends from the 17th Century. I like contemporary as an adjective for current or now.
