Join Wendy Pleydell and host Lisa Aston Michael for a warm, insightful, and wide-ranging conversation that weaves together astrology, life experience, and our deep connection with animals.

The episode opens on a personal note, touching on shared health experiences, the quirks of technology, and even a nod to Mercury retrograde—setting the tone for an honest and relatable discussion.

With over 50 years of experience, Wendy shares her remarkable journey through astrology—from the days of hand-calculated charts and rigorous FAA accreditation, to today’s digital tools like Solar Fire. She reflects on how astrology has evolved over the decades, and why its wisdom is more relevant now than ever.

Together, Lisa and Wendy explore powerful current astrological influences, including Pluto’s return and the Neptune–Saturn alignment, and how these major transits may be shaping both global events and personal life paths. They discuss how astrology was once embraced by leaders, and how it is now re-emerging as a tool for guidance during uncertain times.

A unique highlight of this episode is Wendy’s fascinating work with animal astrology. Drawing on her experience as a dog breeder and registered judge, she shares how birth charts can reveal personality traits in dogs—from the bold presence of Leo types to the sensitive, home-loving nature of Cancer dogs. This opens up a meaningful conversation about working with an animal’s natural tendencies rather than trying to change them.

The discussion also explores how astrology can support life direction and transformation, particularly during key phases such as Saturn returns and midlife transitions. Wendy shares real client stories, illustrating how these cycles can lead to profound personal growth and new beginnings.

For those curious about learning astrology, Wendy offers practical guidance; from understanding sun, moon, and rising signs to the value of community learning, group work, and ceremony. The conversation gently bridges astrology with intuition, animal connection, and spiritual development.

This episode is a beautiful blend of grounded wisdom, lived experience, and intuitive insight, inviting you to stay open-hearted, trust your path, and explore the deeper connections between the cosmos, yourself, and the animals in your life.
