A Scheme of Heaven with Author, Data Scientist, Science Historian and Curious Skeptic Alexander Boxer

This is a Cosmic Confidence Hypnotic Guided Meditation. You will be guided into visualising then merging with your perception of someone who represents the confidence you want to embody. It could be general confidence or confidence and ability in a specific area like self expression, business acumen, public speaking, or just putting yourself out there (in love, groups, on camera etc). You are worthy, you deserve to shine and live your best, most purposeful life. 🌞 Also see episode 4 for my experiential guided meditation on the solar and heart chakras. 🌟Learn more with my book Cosmic Power, to ignite your light, eg step into, own, and express your Sun Sign at full force as well as understanding others and what they’re here to express, they’re cosmic m.o Cosmic Power (book) —> https://bookshop.org/a/87040/9781787135758 or order into your local bookstore (and request they stock them if they don’t already) 🌞Find me at https://astroallstarz.com to schedule your 1 to 1 bespoke astro consultation with me. 🌟

In this episode I share the article ‘It’s all about you, I mean me, I mean WE!’ Originally published in the FAA Magazine, March 2023. Commissioned and edited by Brian Clarke. Hoorah!—We’re finally talking about the Libra in Pluto generation. Let’s take a look at the transiting Pluto in Aquarius as it trines the Pluto in Libras natal placements over the next 20 years. Look forward to powerful opportunities and gifts the Pluto in Libra gen is ready to express. Neptune is in Sagittarius for this gen so they’ve got to keep their spirits up and manifest positivity! Ignite Neptune (since it’s in sextile to natal Pluto) and look at possibilities as well as inspirational examples of late Pluto in Virgo people, a Pluto in Libra example from history (last time around) and Pluto in Libra people this time. We go over the Pluto sextile, to the square to the trine to figure out how this cycle unfolds. *note > blog article up soon with the list and meme mentioned.  Find me - Vanessa Montgomery  ⁠⁠astroallstarz.com⁠⁠ to schedule your astro consult/reading.

Tune in for a very Taurus episode with Taurus rising represented by Micheal J. Morris and myself. We explore eco-sexuality, eco-sensuality, the erotica in natures forms and how we respond if we allow ourselves to—a topic close to Micheals heart, on which they have lectured extensively and focused their academic dissertation on. Micheal talks about their involvement with performance activist Annie Sprinkle and her partner Beth Stephans, and their take on nature as Mother and lover, as a way of calling back respect and care for our environment in their Love Art Laboratory. The Love Art Laboratory’s Green Wedding chart referenced is set for May 17, 2008. 3pm. Santa Cruz. We dive into eco-feminism, a topic I’m particularly fascinated with, ‘queerness, the parts of ourselves that exceed systems of categorisation, domination, and control’, then move through Taurus in Uranus, post humanism and trans-humanism and why its adherents are chasing a delusion. Michael's impressive background as a Dr. of Dance with a PhD in Dance Studies, BFA in Dance, traditional astrologer, yoga instructor, writer, educator, facilitator, tarot reader, and witch, makes them a well-rounded and fascinating guest. They bring a depth of knowledge and sensitivity to our conversation that will leave you informed and inspired to go out and smell the roses.

Rise and Shine, Starlings!!! We’re talking with Pro Astrologer & Author Christopher Renstrom about how to decode your rising sign with his new book, Rise & Shine, an Astrological Guide to How You Show Up in the World.  I also wanted to hear about Renstrom's process as a 3x published author, so you have some insight into how he decided on this topic, his motivation, and more—to demystify the process. And I hope to encourage you if you are ready to write but procrastinating or don’t know where to begin.  Rise and shine takes us through an intro to astrology is a timing mechanism or cosmic clock, the rising signs, and a breakdown of each rising sun with sun sign combo.  At the end of the podcast, I read out my combo to give you an idea of how it rolls, and I must say, of course, it was accurate. I love Renstrom's seasoned synthesis, and I know you will too!  Got a comment, please share or drop me a line to let me know what you think, like and please subscribe to catch every episode.  Find Christopher Renstrom www.rulingplanets.com & schedule a 1:1 Find Christopher's books HERE  IG @christopherrenstrom Find me - Vanessa Montgomery  astroallstarz.com to check out your free birth chart and schedule your astro consult/reading.

This episode is about Aqueerius, arguably the queerest, ok, let's say, embodying queerness in the true and new sense of the word.  If anyone is out to queer the world, it‘s those bold, fixed air, transpersonal/super social Aqua placements we love so much. Consider where Aquarius is in YOUR natal chart, and come at me!  Please join my card-carrying solar Aquarius guests, Rose Blakelock and Alyssia Osario, as we talk about: Aqua vital stats: We qualify our Aquarian placements and see if we create a stellium in Aquarius. I ask my guests, Q. ‘Do you relate to the Aqua archetype?’ What the memes get right, what they don’t, and why.  Aquarius and Queerness The Saturn handover to Pluto going into Aquarius Aquarians and books (or pop cultural musical/film touchpoints) that were influential, pivotal, or we related to and why.  I LOVE the sign of Aquarius - so smart, always keeps me on my toes and always has plenty to say, interesting perspectives to share and a passion for contributing to society at large. They make fabulous friends, perfect pod guests, enquiring intellectuals and successful social agitators + reformers.  Enjoy this episode as much as I did. Go catch up with Blakelock and Ossario and let us know your thoughts on this episode, and any comments or additions. ✨ References and links for this episode are in the dedicated blog post on my website HERE Find Alyssia Osario www.alyssia.space IG @alyssiaofcups Find Rose Blakelock roseblakelock.com Big Dyke Energy Podcast  IG @mutable_cross Find me - Vanessa Montgomery  astroallstarz.com to check out your free birth chart and schedule your astro consult/reading.

Principle of the Mayo School of Astrology, based in London, originally from New Zealand, WENDY STACEY brings her Sagittarius Moon/Neptune conjunction for a very Sagittarian conversation. Three decades of Astrology through modern, mundane, financial and more, teaching quite early on, a social sciences degree under her belt, financial and property background, PHD in the making and a couple of books to add to two already published.  Wendys knowledge is broad, and we talk about a LOT. With a special focus on Pluto moving into Aquarius and what to expect. There’s a multitude of ways this transit can express, so here’s a few that are positive if you’re willing to see the silver lining and roll with the punches. Sagittarius is a mutable sign, long form and focussed on the horizon so what better subject than prediction.  Between us we have 13 planets in fire, and a blazing grande fire trine which I could feel in the synastry, reminding me why it’s so essential to touch base with your element!

The original space race….“They say the scientific revolution was driven by astronomy, but you could just as easily say it was driven by astrology”. Let’s find out! Our special guest is Alexander Boxer ‘a data scientist with a PhD in Physics and degrees in the history of science and classics + a healthy grasp of Latin. In a perfect storm, or in this case his first book, these skill sets came together to create A Scheme of Heaven: Astrology and the Birth of Science.  I found Alexanders recent book in our library system here in Australia, and the freshness of his cross disciplinary approach to the history of Astrology as a driving force of science and early technology intrigued me. So here we are. For his research Boxer was able to read texts in their original Latin, so nothing was lost in translation. Astrology, Astronomy and mathematics were originally the same bag with various applications. ‘Astrology was the ancient worlds most ambitious attempt to fathom the heavens, an epic data-analysis enterprise sustained by some of history’s most brilliant minds. Humans are pattern-matching creatures, and astrology is our grandest pattern matching game.  Find out what ‘A scheme of heaven’ referred to, what the ‘horoscope’ previously meant and how astrology, (and it’s underlying search for meaning) has impacted our world more than most people realise.  Find ALEXANDER BOXER   https://alexboxer.com (and try out the digital astrolabe here https://alexboxer.com/astrolabe/) Pick up a copy of A scheme of Heaven  Find ME, VANESSA MONTGOMERY astroallstarz.com to schedule a reading/consult Learn astrology with my books; △ASTRO POWER a simple guide to prediction and destiny for the modern mystic (pre-order) △STAR POWER a simple guide to astrology for the modern mystic △COSMIC POWER ignite your light, a simple guide to sun signs for the modern mystic IG @astro_allstarz https://astroallstarz.com

Fresh from her astro dating show (and social experiment) on Amazon, AstroTwin Ophi Edut (Astrostyle.com) chats about the astrology of relationships and her newest book SUPERCOUPLE: Astrology Secrets For A Sexy, Soulful And Satisfying Relationship With Any Zodiac Sign.  Co-written with identical twin sister Tali, SUPERCOUPLE breaks down the composite chart, which is the chart of your relationship.  Tune in to learn about composite charts (the supercouple chart) and go behind the scenes of the Cosmic Love series. Ophi has Sagittarius Sage Wisdom, Scorpio Soul and decades of experience. I love her warmth, humour and quotes like ‘astrology is a tool not a rule’, ’relationships are on a big IOS upgrade, there’s got to be a better model’ — I second that! Listen in for the AstroTwins well aimed intentions for Cosmic Love and SUPERCOUPLE.  *Post script~I spontaneously ended up copy editing/proofing Supercouple (after this pod was recorded) so having read the entire book I will say it’s so amusing, found I was reflecting on many relationships and found a few interesting patterns in composite charts of my most significant relationships ie lots of 7th and 9th house stelliums (bunches of planets in one zone and sign).  Check out our individual natal charts, and the Supercouple composite here.
