In this episode of AstroCast, I sit down (literally, on my front porch) to talk about the planets, not as abstract symbols, but as living, breathing energies that shape our daily lives. I walk through each planet, from the Sun to Pluto, sharing my own understanding of what they represent, how they function, and why they matter.

This isn't a surface-level rundown. It's a grounded, personal take on the fundamentals of astrology, the kind of thing I wish someone had told me when I was first learning. No buzzwords. No fluff. Just the planets, as I've come to understand them through years of observation, study, and client work.

If you've ever wondered what the Sun actually does, why Saturn gets such a bad rap, or what it means to have a "Neptunian" experience, this episode is for you.

In this crossover episode, I was honored to sit down with Nev on his show, FACE IT with Nev (Practical Psychology), to talk about space, time, and the subtle forces that shape our lives. We explore why being born at a particular moment in a particular place matters, and how I developed the framework of Spacetime Coding.

We also get into the planets that get a bad rap—Saturn (or "Grandpa Saturn," the one who prunes us for our own future flourishing) and Uranus (the planet of chaos and the present moment). Whether you're curious about relocating, understanding your past, or just looking for a new lens on your own life, this conversation offers perspective that sticks with you.

Find me as always at my website. And I have been building an extensive library of writings detailing my philosophy and methodology of AstroCartography, indexed at the bottom of this page.

Check out FACE IT with Nev. Lots of good information here.

Astro Phil is porch-sitting and talking all things AstroCartography: how he got into it, how his practice developed, and some of the things he's learned along the way. He shares a few stories, reflects on the rise of AstroCartography's popularity, and talks about what it means to treat place like something you can shop for.
