AstroCast with Astro Phil

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.Chart ReadingsAstroCartography ReadingsThe blogSun (0:03:56); Moon (09:41); Mercury (0:14:29); Venus (0:18:35); Mars (0:20:00); Jupiter (0:24:24); Saturn (0:29:13); Uranus (0:37:28); Neptune (0:42:52); Pluto (0:48:00)

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.

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.Check out the website.

In this episode of Astrocast, Astro Phil shares his findings on the Black Moon. Lilith is not evil or amoral, but rather a deviant in truth, someone hardwired to honor their own internal code and destined to live on the fringe and maintain the edges of the human experience. Phil traces the Lilith archetype through its youthful obsession with extremes (poison, fire, blades, theft) to its mature expression in metalwork, sweat ceremonies, body art, DMT and the therapeutic testing of limits. He then surveys seven cultural manifestations of the Lilithian sacred clown: the European court jester and Hopi Mudheads to the Japanese Tengu, Dogon Yurugu, Aztec Tlazōlteōtl, Shakespearean fool, and Pueblo Koshare.

From the front porch on a drizzly day, Phil pushes back against the popular astrological notion that the South Node is a past life to jettison and the North Node is a future to pursue. Through plumbing metaphors, clogged chimneys, and the myth of King Erysichthon, he reframes the lunar nodes as a paired system that only works in balance. He critiques the North Node’s capitalist undercurrents, questions the spiritual pressure to constantly “evolve” away from our roots, and invites listeners to consider the quiet power of receptivity, the South Node’s grace, and the wisdom of the middle ground.

In Episode 4 of AstroCast, we move beyond the conventional interpretation of the asteroid Ceres as the "divine mother" and explore a much more complex and timely archetype: Ceres as the keeper of principle, and with Chiron, the wounds we carry when our principles clash with our need for each others. Against the backdrop of a rare Ceres-Chiron conjunction, host Phil weaves together personal homesteading stories, the Greek tragedy of Antigone, and a meditation on the inescapable hypocrisy of modern life. The episode asks a hard question: when standing on principle costs us our relationships, our community, or our belonging, was it worth it?

In this AstroCast, Astro Phil traces the historical split between astrology and astronomy, arguing that these long separete fields are beginning to overlap. Using the hypothetical planet Maldek—a theorized world that exploded to form the asteroid belt—as a central example, Phil connects the 18th-century Titius-Bode law with channeled histories from figures like Edgar Cayce and a surprising modern paper that models the solar system as a quantum superconductor. This model suggests Maldek's destruction was a catastrophic rupture in spacetime itself, leading to a profound philosophical question: is our solar system, and by extension the human experience, incomplete?

In this episode, Phil debunks the viral myth that your zodiac sign has "changed" and explores why modern astrology often feels vague and confusing. He then delivers his Astro Manifesto, introducing the concept of "spacetime coding," a precise method that moves beyond sun signs and fuzzy houses to reveal the specific, subtle truths of your personal makeup and timing.
