Episode 81 of the podcast features a discussion about the astrological outlook for July of 2016, with astrologers Austin Coppock and Kelly Surtees.
This month begins just after Mars stations direct in Scorpio after a long retrograde period, lunations in Cancer and Capricorn, the heliacal rising of Mercury and Venus in Leo, and Uranus stationing retrograde in Aries at the end of the month.
I also highlighted some auspicious dates for beginning different types of ventures and undertakings, using the principles of electional astrology.
We begin with some news and announcements at the top of the show.
As always, the cover art for this episode is from the 2016 PlanetWatcher Astrology Calendar.

In the same idea of seeing coming this Saturne/Neptune square years ahead, it would be nice to talk about Saturn entering Capricorn, and then moving into Aquarius, with Jupiter catching on, as it’s maybe the next huge thing that will shape the next 30 years. The last time Saturn was in Capricorn, we had the fall of Berlin wall.
I love the recap of events – “so reality was horrific but the television was good at being distracting // I read some great books”.. Saturn square Neptune? 🙂
I thought that both the U.S. Democratic race as well as the NBA Finals had an air of that Saturn/Neptune square. Both governing bodies (DNC and the NBA) seemed to deceptively play with the rules a bit in an attempt to “guide” the outcomes of both events. Both deceptions were such thinly veiled efforts that it was like professional wrestling (with foils and heroes and upstarts, etc.). I am biased, but I don’t think I am alone in my conspiracy theories. Hesitant to say that I’m glad June is over!
Really enjoying these monthlies. Not sure about the new inline adverts for the sponsors.
Thanks Chris, Kelly, and Austin!
Yeah, I was testing out something I read about in podcasting called doing “live reads” with the advertisements, as I thought it might allow us to work them into the conversation more naturally rather than just taking 10 minutes at the top of the show to do them. Not sure that it came off much better though, so I may just go back to doing them at the top of the show. We’ll see how it goes, as even having sponsors is still kind of a new thing that I’m experimenting with. Thanks for your feedback!
