June 8 show Episode #115 The Three Aquarians (Neptune, Chiron & Jupiter, all at 26 degrees Aquarius) continue to hog the headlines: this week they receive a square from Mercury and magical quintiles from Mars and Venus. We also discuss a Venus-Pluto trine, Mercury's entry into Gemini, and a semi-sextile between Uranus and Neptune -- which will last almost two years! (There's also a lively discussion between Benjamin and guest co-host Spiritsong about how a semi-sextile should be interpreted.) * Part 2 includes a wide range of topics this week, including an announcement about how to win free consultations from Spiritsong, listener theories about the astrology behind the recent spate of family shootings, interpreting the nodes, and a long and enlightening listener email on the meaning and mythology of Chiron. * Finally, this week's much-anticipated Part 3 is the conclusion of Spiritsong and Benjamin's in-depth discussion of the astrology behind their decision to end their marriage. *** Overview: 3:08 / Monday: 4:15 / Tuesday: 6:25 / Wednesday: 15:58 / Thursday: 17:08 / Friday: 19:19 / Saturday: 19:47 / Sunday: 22:49 / Next Week's Transits: 24:27 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 26:54 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments, Plus Announcements): 37:58 / Part 3 (Spiritsong and Benjamin analyze the astrology behind the ending of their marriage, Part 2 of 2): 75:24
June 1 show (Episode #114) It might feel as if you're driving with the parking brake on this week, with major transits of both powerful initiation (Mars trine Pluto) and restriction (Sun square Saturn). Likewise, relationship is pulled in two directions, as Venus aspects numerous transformational outer planets while entering don't-rock-the-boat Taurus. And don't forget a Full Moon in over-the-top Sagittarius just to bring everything to a rolling boil! * In Part 2, you're invited to take a shot at answering a listener question that stumped Benjamin. And, in Part 3, Spiritsong and Benjamin begin an in-depth analysis of the astrology behind their marriage and individual relationship needs, in order to explain why they have chosen to amicably end their marriage. (This is a two-parter, concluding next week.) *** Overview: 2:05 / Monday: 3:03 / Tuesday: 3:52 / Wednesday: 5:30 / Thursday: 6:37 / Friday: 8:26 / Saturday: 9:09 / Sunday: 11:08 / Preview of Next Week's Transits: 12:25 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 15:00 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments, Plus Announcements): 21:46 / Part 3 (Spiritsong and Benjamin analyze the astrology behind the ending of their marriage, to be concluded next week): 32:18
May 25 show (Episode #113) It's another eventful astrological week, with Mercury going direct, Neptune and Chiron going retrograde, and Jupiter conjuncting Neptune! Mars also sextiles the triple conjunction in Aquarius and enters Taurus. Talk about a busy sky week! * In Part 2 we hear from a listener whose challenging Mercury retrograde snafus started early, and answ er questions about the wisdom of strategically locating yourself for each year's optimal solar return chart and whether it's ever a good idea to begin an important project during Mercury retrograde. *** Overview: 1:53 / Monday: 3:27 / Tuesday: 4:24 / Wednesday: 6:35 / Thursday: 14:57 / Friday: 17:14 / Saturday: 19:48 / Sunday: 24:19 / Preview of Next Week's Transits: 26:41 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 29:46 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments, Plus Announcements): 39:32
May 18 show (Episode #112) We have a dizzying variety of transits this week: a New Moon in Gemini, Jupiter conjuncting Chiron and semi-sextiling Uranus, the Sun conjuncting Mercury and entering Gemini, and Mercury squaring Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron. And that's just for starters! * In Part 2 we explore a complex question involving nodes and planets in intercepted houses, get detailed feedback from two listeners, and announce the surprise winner of a free one-hour astrology consultation with Benjamin! (If you've ever sent in your chart data, it could be you!) And our live Part 3 consultation looks at the astrological factors behind why a psychologist's house burned to the ground, and how she's dealing with the aftermath. *** Overview: 2:45 / Monday: 3:41 / Tuesday: 4:06 / Wednesday: 7:02 / Thursday: 9:47 / Friday: 10:45 / Saturday: 11:30 / Sunday: 14:47 / Preview of Next Week's Transits: 17:06 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 19:46 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments, Plus Announcements and FREE CONSULTATION GIVEAWAY!): 32:40 / Part 3 (Live Consultation): 55:40
May 11 show (Episode #111) Saturn goes direct this week, providing fresh energy for new accomplishments. We also examine a Mars-Uranus quincunx, Mercury's entry into Taurus and the Sun aspecting most of the planets beyond Mars! * In Part 2 we cover astrological considerations on timing the sale of a business, early Mercury Retrograde phenomena, and how I incorporate transitsinto my life. And our live Part 3 consultation probes deeply into a complex Yod ("Finger of God") and even gets into a bit of medical astrology. *** Overview: 1:36 / Monday: 2:05 / Tuesday: 2:45 / Wednesday: 3:34 / Thursday: 4:04 / Friday: 4:30 / Saturday: 5:27 / Sunday: 8:15 / Preview of Next Week's Main Transits: 9:59 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 10:41 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments, Plus Announcements): 17:48 / Part 3 (Live Consultation): 37:04
May 4 show (Episode #110) Mercury Retrograde is the week's hottest event, followed by the Scorpio Full Moon. (A Sun-Saturn trine runs a distant third.) * There's no Part 3 this week, but an unusually rich Part 2 features a dozen listener emails. Questions addressed include whether there are astrological signatures for childhood autism, atheism and homosexuality, how to find the transits that drive a roomful of preschoolers into hyperdrive, working with difficult natal aspects (such as a Mars-Pluto opposition) and much more! *** Overview: 2:55 / Monday: 3:25 / Tuesday: 4:09 / Wednesday: 5:11 / Thursday: 5:55 / Friday: 7:48 / Saturday: 8:59 / Sunday: 11:27 / Preview of Next Week's Main Transits: 12:15 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 14:38 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments, Plus Announcements): 19:05
April 27 show (Episode #109) Venus square Pluto, one of astrology's most formidable relationship challengers and the week's most powerful transit, sets the stage for a bolt-from-the-blue announcement from Benjamin and Spiritsong (his wife and co-host this week)! * Part One's Listener chart features a thorough explanation of the North and South Nodes of the Moon, and the Part Three Listener Question of the Week looks ahead to a stunning event three years hence: the transiting Uranus-Pluto square challenging all four angles of a listener's chart! *** Overview: 2:06 / Monday: 2:50 / Tuesday: 3:03 / Wednesday: 6:38 / Thursday: 6:45 / Friday: 8:14 / Saturday: 9:04 / Sunday: 16:40 / Preview of Next Week's Main Transits: 17:30 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 19:34 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments, Plus Announcements): 34:19 / Part 3 (Listener Question of the Week): 53:22
April 20 show Mars squares Pluto this week (stay calm, everybody!) on the heels of a New Moon in Taurus. The relationship and creativity planets Venus and Mars are also spotlighted, both by their conjunction and because they're both entering Aries. * This episode is shorter than usual. I had to record it (with limited time available) a week early because of my trip to California to teach at the 6th Annual Astrology Retreat put on by the Organization for Professional Astrology. * Therefore, Part 2 is announcements only, including a final reminder about the upcoming appearance of my mentor (and Cosmic Weather podcast host) Kelly Lee Phipps on this week's April 24 episode of ABC's Wife Swap reality show. There is no Part 3 this week, but we do conclude with something special: a brand-new composition from our frequent musical contributor Pierre: "Taurus Twelve-Tone." *** Overview: 1:55 / Monday: 4:25 / Tuesday: 4:30 / Wednesday: 6:21 / Thursday: 9:51 / Friday: 11:06 / Saturday: 15:35 / Sunday: 16:43 / Preview of Next Week's Main Transits: 17:54 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 20:43 / Part 2 (Just Announcements This Week): 28:13 / BONUS MUSIC: "Taurus Twelve-Tone" by Pierre: 35:30
April 13 show Mars and Uranus form a volatile fusion (emphasis on fuse), Venus turns direct (to the relief of relationships everywhere) and the Sun enters Taurus this week. The Sun also sextiles Chiron and Neptune, and Mercury forms a businesslike trine to Saturn. * In Part 2, you'll learn about the upcoming appearance of my mentor (and Cosmic Weather podcast host) Kelly Lee Phipps on the April 24 episode of ABC's Wife Swap reality show. And we feature a live Part 3 consultation that demonstrates how to engage a client who knows big things are happening, but has no specific questions! *** Overview: 1:43 / Monday: 2:18 / Tuesday: 2:56 / Wednesday: 3:18 / Thursday: 6:24 / Friday: 6:30 / Saturday: 8:56 / Sunday: 9:03 / Preview of Next Week's Main Transits: 10:59 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 13:37 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments): 20:45 / Part 3 (Listener Question of the Week): 29:39

March 30 show A relationship-challenging Venus-Pluto square is this week's headliner, followed closely by a Mercury-Sun conjunction and an "Energizer Bunny" Mars-Saturn opposition. (Pluto also goes retrograde, but I don't generally get too concerned about outer planet retrogrades.) * We explore the Part of Fortune and "Will this happen to me?" questions in Part 2, and feature our first-ever astrologer interview in Part 3! I speak with Mayan astrologer Clare Coriell about her unique way of working with the galactic powers, and also introduce the joint Mayan/Western consultation that she and I are doing! * I also introduce the free class downloads available at the new Virtual Astrology Conference site, and proudly announce the everyday discounts I'm offering on Astrolabe software (including Solar Fire) as a new dealer. *** Overview: 2:14 / Monday: 2:45 / Tuesday: 4:30 / Wednesday: 4:36 / Thursday: 5:26 / Friday: 5:58 / Saturday: 8:05 / Sunday: 10:09 / Preview of Next Week's Main Transits: 11:31 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 12:14 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments): 20:03 / Part 3 (Interview with Mayan astrologer Clare Coriell): 36:14
March 23 show An Aries New Moon provides strong kick-start energy this week. Other notable sky events include Mercury's entry into Aries, the Sun and Mercury both squaring Pluto, and the same two planets conjuncting retrograde Venus! * Part 2 features a broad variety of intriguing topics, including one listener's ultra-challenging Full Moon experiences, a precise dissection of why last Saturday was such a hoot (for one listener at least), and astrology and past lives. Plus, we announce the winner of our one-hour astrology consultation giveaway! * Our live Part 3 consultation features an 18-year old who has made a miraculous recovery from life-threatening injuries -- after nearly dying twice in one week. (You might survive the traffic accident, but watch out for those hospital infections!) Plus, you might learn a thing or two about working with skeptics, since he doesn't believe in astrology! *** Overview: 2:25 / Monday: 2:57 / Tuesday: 7:02 / Wednesday: 7:50 / Thursday: 9:28 / Friday: 15:21 / Saturday: 17:05 / Sunday: 18:05 / Preview of Next Week's Main Transits: 18:23 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 19:10 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments): 24:32 / Part 3 (Listener Question of the Week): 49:55
March 16 show The Spring Equinox (the Sun's entry into Aries) highlights the week, with a Mars-Pluto sextile and an intuitively flashing Mercury-Uranus conjunction adding their own brands of awakening! Saturn's conjunction to Mercury and quincunx to Jupiter round out the week's major sky events. * We have an especially interesting Part 2 (including a listener's fascinating variation on the Divine Saturation Snap Meditation), and we explore the astrology behind the recent devastating Australian bush fires and last week's string of mass murders (three of them on three consecutive days!). * This is your last chance to email your natal data (date, time and city of birth) to info@ItsAllGoodAstrology.com for a chance to win a free private one-hour consultation with me on next week's show!

March 9 show An intense Full Moon in Virgo tops the bill this week. A Sun-Uranus conjunction throws a wild card into the deck, Mars' entry into Pisces radiates a "peaceful warrior" vibe, and a Venus-Jupiter sextile helps promote relationship harmony. A content-rich Part 2 features an in-depth look at the Jupiter-Saturn "Great Conjunction" cycle (including how it influences the character of Barack Obama). There's a fleeting opportunity for you to save $300 on next month's OPA Astrology Retreat (start listening at 38:59), and a non-interactive Part 3 listener chart with its own Great Conjunction! *** Overview: 1:59 / Monday: 2:43 / Tuesday: 3:30 / Wednesday: 8:04 / Thursday: 9:54 / Friday: 10:58 / Saturday: 11:36 / Sunday: 12:26 / Preview of Next Week's Main Transits: 13:02 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 13:41 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments): 19:24 / The Saturn-Jupiter "Great Conjunction" Cycle: 34:50 / Save $300 on the OPA Astrology Retreat!: 38:59 / Part 3 (Listener Question of the Week): 50:57
March 2 show Venus Retrograde, always a testing time for relationships, is the week's top transit. There's also a flurry of conjunctions in late Aquarius involving Mercury, Mars, Chiron and Neptune. The Sun-Saturn opposition is definitely worth noting, as is the transiting quadruple conjunction on the Mars of our Part 1 listener chart! I give a behind-the-scenes look at how I select the transits for Part 1 of the show, and we have one of our most fascinating Part 3 live consultations ever -- a bank IT analyst contemplating a new career as a psychic investigator! Plus, there's Pisceanally (is that a word?) peaceful bonus music from Benjamin's vocal CD. *** Overview: 2:12 / Monday: 3:08 / Tuesday: 3:18 / Wednesday: 5:10 / Thursday: 6:21 / Friday: 9:03 / Saturday: 12:42 / Sunday: 13:14 / Preview of Next Week's Main Transits: 17:31 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 20:26 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments): 34:24 / Part 3 (Listener Question of the Week): 52:24 / BONUS MUSIC: "Such Bliss" by Benjammin (a/k/a Benjamin Bernstein): 55:20
February 23 show Perhaps it's the dark of the New Moon in Pisces that's making Mercury so nervous -- the winged messenger is skittering about and aspecting four different planets this week! Also, we announce the winner of a free 100-minute consultation with Benjamin -- to celebrate the fact that this is Episode 100 of This Week in Astrology! -- and look at the astrology behind California's current budget crisis. Plus, Benjamin shares one of his compositions on the show -- the very Piscean meditation piece "The Sound Beyond the Sound." *** Overview: 1:44 / Monday: 2:18 / Tuesday: 5:17 / Wednesday: 9:01 / Thursday: 9:26 / Friday: 10:53 / Saturday: 11:51 / Sunday: 12:48 / Preview of Next Week's Main Transits: 14:56 / Part 1 Listener Chart: 17:52 / Part 2 (Listener Questions & Comments): 23:51 / Part 3 (World Event of the Week: California's Budget Crisis): 37:55 / BONUS MUSIC: "The Sound Beyond the Sound" by Benjamin Bernstein: 55:20
February 16 show The conjunction of Astrology's two main initiators -- Mars and Jupiter -- highlights the week. Relationship harmony is potentially amplified by a Venus-Mars sextile, and the Sun enters Pisces (and sextiles Pluto!). And this week's Listener Question of the Week, recorded live in consultation, shows a woman's chart being powerfully affected by the upcoming triple conjunction of Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron in Aquarius! Be sure to email us your chart info this week (your name along with your date, time and city of birth to info@ItsAllGoodAstrology.com) if you haven't already done so.

kicks off the week (and wait until you hear its wild Sabian Symbol!). A
spiritualizing
Sun-Neptune conjunction and
Mercury's entry into
Aquarius -- which makes six planets and
a node in Aquarius at the same time! -- round out the week's highlights.
We also look at the astrology behind
Olympic swimming champ
Michael Phelps' marijuana scandal (the clock of destiny strikes a
resounding bong!), and have a
wide-ranging Part 3 live consultation based around the Saturn-Uranus

February 2 show One of the year's most powerful transits -- the second of five paradigm-shifting SATURN-URANUS OPPOSITIONS -- perfects this week.
