Chronic illness doesn’t appear out of nowhere — and in medical astrology, the birth chart often shows why the body begins to struggle long before symptoms are fully visible.

In this episode, medical astrologer Heather Eland explores the core astrological patterns linked to chronic illness, including conditions that are difficult to diagnose or poorly understood. You’ll learn how vitality, immune function, nervous system regulation, emotional patterns, and long-term stress are reflected in the birth chart — and how these layers interact over time.

This conversation is especially relevant for:
• Astrology students studying medical astrology
• Practitioners working with chronic or invisible illness
• Anyone curious about the deeper body–mind connections in astrology

Heather also shares personal insight from her own experience with chronic illness and explains why no single placement causes illness — instead, health challenges arise through layered patterns, environment, and timing.

⚠️ Important Note: Medical astrology does not diagnose, treat, or cure illness and is not a substitute for professional medical care.

February 2026 brings some of the most powerful astrology of the year.

In this episode, astrologer Heather Eland breaks down the rare, high-impact transits shaping February, including the annular solar eclipse in Aquarius, the long-awaited Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries, and the first Mercury retrograde of 2026 in Pisces.

These alignments mark a turning point—one that can feel destabilizing, emotional, and fast-moving, but also deeply meaningful and fated.

You’ll learn:

• What the Aquarius solar eclipse is revealing ahead of the upcoming nodal shift.

• How the Saturn–Neptune conjunction signals a collective and personal reset.

• Why Mercury retrograde in Pisces changes how we think, communicate, and decide.

• How this astrology may show up for you based on your sun, moon, and rising sign.

This episode includes a full forecast for all 12 signs and guidance on how to work with February’s intensity rather than resist it.

Listen now to get oriented, grounded, and prepared for the month ahead.

Astrologer Heather Eland sits down with mundane astrologer Dan Waites to unpack the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries (2026) and why it marks a turning point for the collective.

This episode explores long historical cycles, global power shifts, borders, belief systems, and the growing sense that old structures are dissolving while something new takes shape. We also discuss themes of liminality, disillusion, and why this transit can feel like reality itself is becoming less stable.

A grounded, non-sensational look at one of the most important astrological alignments of the decade.
