Postcolonial Astrology

Joined by psychic medium and intuitive coach, Ilka Pinheiro, we chat about medical astrology, and the powerful benefits of Chinese medicine and plant-based remedies, like cannabis. We also discuss the themes of the upcoming Pisces-Virgo eclipses and what they mean for our personal, collective, and spiritual growth. Ilka also chats with us about her feature in the new, critically acclaimed documentary Look Into My Eyes (directed by Lana Wilson); a captivating film that delves into the lives of seven NYC psychics as they work to help people through uncertainty, grief, and heartbreak. You can find Ilka and book a reading with her at: https://ilkapinheiro.com/Look Into My Eyes (the trailer): https://youtu.be/mBM7lIMxTe8?si=P93rm0UhADr4A1Kd

Mecca and Janelle return to chat about Roe vs Wade being overturned, the messiness of Taurus-Scorpio nodal transits, tips for surviving Cancer season, new house music, films and much more.

In this episode, just in time for a revealing full moon Scorpio eclipse, Janelle and Mecca discuss the problem with spiritual scammers, particularly the ones impersonating legit diviners and readers on Instagram and social media. They offer some insight on how to spot a spiritual scammer and steps to take so you don't fall prey to their bullsh*t. The ladies also take some time out to discuss the trippy entertainment they've been indulging in lately like Moon Knight, Better Call Saul, and Russian Doll. They also chat a bit about the astrology of the current number of documentaries and TV shows focused on scammers like The Tinder Swindler, Inventing Anna, and Bad Vegan.

Janelle and Mecca discuss a bunch on this episode. They talk about: Elon Musk and his Twitter buyout as well as the April 30 and May 15/16 spring eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio. They also discuss: the upcoming Mercury retrograde in Taurus and Gemini, the climate crisis and extreme weather and their effect on public transit and supply chain issues, and the removal of COVID travel mandates and its implications for the ongoing public health crisis. The girls also pose the question as to whether we're really living in a post-pandemic world and if the recent spike of celebrity health issues (as with Bruce Willis and Hailey Bieber) can be traced back to COVID.

Mecca & Janelle are back to discuss the astrology behind the Oscar night slap heard around the world.

Janelle returns with friend and astrologer Antony Wilson (@antastcio). Together they dig into the astrology charts for Zelenskyy, Ukraine, Russia, Putin, and Venezuela. They cover the influence of Mars and Venus’ recent entry into Aquarius, how and how 2022’s eclipses hit all of the above, the potent synastry between Zelenskyy and Ukraine, and more.

In this mid-summer episode, Janelle and Mecca discuss the current environmental crisis and what's next in terms of weather, safety, and food security. They also discuss self-care tips for dealing with the stress under the current Saturn-Uranus square as well as the absurdity of the Billionaire Bastards, and a brief glimpse into the Pluto Return of the United States.
