Host Christina Caudill speaks with psychotherapist and astrologer Margaret Gray about betrayal and the Scorpio/Pluto archetype. Both share Scorpio Moons, which brings depth to their exploration of this fascinating topic.Margaret explains that betrayal means something different to each person depending on their natal chart. She introduces a key distinction between bruising and rupturing in relationships—bruises are accumulating hurts while ruptures are deep wounds requiring significant repair.The conversation explores how trauma shapes responses to betrayal, and Margaret describes three types of relationship ruptures: Uranian (sudden and unexpected), Neptunian (gradual dissolution), and Plutonic (devastating and profound).Sign up for the Radiant Astrology free cosmic newsletter athttps://www.radiantastrology.com/signupFollow Radiant Astrology on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/radiantastrologySign up for the Astrology of the Heart certification course athttps://www.relationshipsandastrology.com/

This is a Full Pisces Moon at 15 degrees tightly conjoined to the North Node at 18 degrees and forming a harmonious trine to expansive Jupiter at 19 degrees Cancer!
The overwhelm is real - but so is the magic.As taskmaster Saturn is now retrograding back into Pisces, the urgent forward momentum has morphed into nostalgia for more peaceful times. The 'pedal to the metal' of Saturn in Aries has taken the foot off the gas for the time being, at least until Saturn re-enters the fire sign in February 2026.
At this Lunar Eclipse, we may find a cathartic emotional release, an extreme desire for escapism or a liberating letting go. To add to the energy of liberation, Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, stations retrograde in Gemini the day before the Lunar Eclipse, which is sure to bring surprises and perhaps some shocking news.I delve into the Pisces Lunar Eclipse with astrologer Celeste Brooks who I love to chat about how the headlines reflect the astrology.

In this episode, I explore the meaning of "people power" during Pluto in Aquarius, which began in March of 2023 and will last until 2044. I've spoken about Pluto in Aquarius several times before, but this time I want to give it some historical context as we can see some of the reverberations from not only the French and the American revolutions but also time of the English reformation during the reign of King Henry the VIII.

Lisa Pesnichak of The Dynamic Self Astrology has studied a variety of astrology styles and techniques, yet it was her use of Uranian astrology that she relied on to accurately predict the outcome of the 2024 US Presidential election. In this episode, she explains what Uranian astrology is and how the element of chaos that Uranus represents is rising at this time in our history, yet it also presents unique opportunities if we can become more adept at change.
And while much of the transformation in the coming years may at times be disruptive or unwelcomed, we can still hold a vision of humanity evolving into a more kind, just and supportive community.
If you'd like to explore more of Lisa's astrological analysis of the election in depth, I highly recommend watching her election recap video and checking out her full election paper, linked below.

In this episode, I reflect on the Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2nd which offers a transformation in our relationships, contracts and agreements. Eclipses are powerful periods of changes of consciousness and bring a disruption to the natural order of things. In Libra, the focus is on how we relate to others, find balance, equality and common ground. This is a South Node eclipse which suggests purging, as well as experiences and relationships from the past that return for resolution. Mercury is in the mix which suggests significant information that comes to light in the days around the eclipse which can be pivotal in our decision making. We may at first struggle to be heard or understood, yet it may be important to keep the peace.
Black Moon Lilith is tightly conjoined to the solar eclipse, signifying the need to reject oppression, even while we attempt to find a mutually beneficial solution in our agreements.The ruler of the eclipse is Venus in Scorpio so there is an undercurrent of profound depth, rawness and burning desire.Mars trine Saturn fuels action of working toward progress and rebuilding structures that support our goals.
“Most people die with their music still locked up inside them.”― Benjamin Disraeli
Carl Jung was very focused on the psychology of midlife, when a person begins to seek guidance from within more than the strivings of the ego. I have found the teachings of Jung and Jungians very insightful in my journey through midlife and beyond.
However, some of these teachings talk about a path that I don’t recognize in my own life. What if we have already been on a journey of liberation well before we reach midlife? What, then, are the opportunities that are present for us during this pivotal period in life?
I explore these questions in terms of midlife experiences, such as the Uranus opposition and the second Saturn return, as well as reflect on the question I often hear from astrology students such as what is “supposed” to happen during these times.

The first of three Jupiter-Saturn squares aligns on August 19. Not only that, but inflaming the collective transformation is Mars in conjunction with Jupiter, squaring Saturn.
In this episode, we'll take a look at the expansion and optimism of Jupiter in communication Gemini as it runs into a square with the restriction and reality check of Saturn in subconscious Pisces.
I'll also discuss how this relates back to the Jupiter-Saturn Great Conjunction of December 2020 and that we're seeing the first glimmers of potential from that monumental seeding moment.
