Professional astrologer Janet Booth joins Ryan, Lisa, and Alexander to unpack Moon Grooves, her original discovery of how new and full Moons repeat at the same degree for months at a time, and what that means for your progressed chart over a lifetime. Using Carole King's chart and her own as case studies, Janet shows how these grooves connect to career, health, and major life turning points. The conversation also digs into the USA's birth chart, comparing the Sibly chart to Washington's inauguration chart.

Ryan, Lisa, and Alexander are joined for the first time by Sheila Budd, Alexander's partner and the show's usual off-screen producer, for an impromptu, unscripted conversation about humanistic astrology and what it feels like to actually live through a transit. They dig into seasonal astrology and Jung's shadow, why wintertime signs default to function over feeling, and why the shadow of a sign is its opposite on the wheel. Ryan and Lisa each walk through their current transits, from progressed Moon and Saturn to a North Node activation tied to a big life move, while Sheila shares her own story of a decision that came from instinct rather than the chart. The conversation closes on something more personal: Alexander opens up about a three-year health struggle and his own distress over current events, both read through the same Saturn-Neptune square, as a live example of astrology's core idea that inner and outer are never separate. Honest, unfiltered, and very human.

Alexander, Lisa and Ryan dig into the Mars-Uranus conjunction that turned exact on the morning of July 4th, right on America's own birthday, and trace its echoes back through four passes in Gemini during the 1940s, including the lead-up to Hiroshima. They ground the astrology in a real story: a couple who survived a lightning strike and near house fire the night before, and how that single event showed up in both of their charts. Along the way, they touch on Mars and Venus as creative partners, why retrograde Mercury is amplifying the moment, and what Carl Jung's idea of synchronicity has to do with any of it.
