Stoicism & Astrology

This show was meant to be about lunar standstills, yet that's not quite what happened.  It often happens with Brett and I.  Lots of Gemini between us.  What ended up being discussed were the three main zodiacs, some astronomy, and a hint of the lunar standstill.  We will treat this one as part 1; part 2 will cover what we originally set out to explore.  It's more lecture than anything, but I think you will learn loads from listening. enjoy -adam his site: https://geminibrett.com   to work with me: ...to schedule a reading: www.adam-sommer.com

In this show, Andrea Michelle joins me to discuss her fascinating work with fusing the Goddess Asteroids with the Venus synodic cycle.  It's a novel approach, and one that I learned a lot from in talking with her.  If you are a student of either, you are going to enjoy her insights tremendously. -adam her site: https://andreamichellehaeckel.com to work with me: https://www.adam-sommer.com/ ...to adventure deeper into kosmos, mythos, and psyche   my writing: The Dragon Hole (my Substack): https://kosmognosis.substack.com/   to learn Astrology: www.Patreon.com/adamsommer ....to support the creation of my writings/podcasts and be showered with gifts as well evolvedwellness.org soma: 15% off

Mark Jones returns to the show to exploring the state of the Outer Planets with me.  I recently made my seasonal visit to Wales to hang with him and record a slice of our constant stream of philosophical conversations.  It's always a pleasure to share these with you.  I hope you learn something from being a fly on the wall with this one.

In this podcast, Joe Landwehr joins me to talk about this Age of Uncertainty—which is also part of the title of his latest book.  He has over 50 years of experience with Astrology and takes a similar mythopoetic approach as I do.  I'm glad he found me and reached out.  It was a real treat to speak with him.  Enjoy...and check out his book as well. his book:  https://www.joelandwehr.com/ to work with me: https://www.adam-sommer.com/ ...to adventure deeper into kosmos, mythos, and psyche   my writing: The Dragon Hole (my Substack): https://kosmognosis.substack.com/   to learn Astrology: www.Patreon.com/adamsommer ....to support the creation of my writings/podcasts and be showered with gifts as well

Adam Gainsburg returns! It's been years since he was last on the show, but after quite the journey, he and I pick up right where we left off: talking about planetary cycles.  I'm not sure how many times Adam has been on the show, but what I can say is that all his appearances have taught me something new about these synodic cycles.  I hope you enjoy and learn something new as well from listening.

Ray Grasse returns to the pod to discuss his new book of essays So, What Am I Doing Here, Anyway? Ranging beyond the astrological into the philosophical, it's a thought provoking collection of the questions we've all asked before, like: How does synchronicity relate to astrology? How in the world do charts still work once a person has already died? Or, Why is it that we are pattern-seeking creatures?  I had a great time reading many of these essays and I'm excited to share this conversation with you.  Enjoy.

In this pod, I give some time to explain the latest changes to the show.  For many of you, nothing may seem to change; for others, it may be confusing or abrupt.  Inspired by the Jungian concept of constellating psyche, this new title borrows some of its spirit around fully engaging with "archetypes" and leans more into the planetary side of the equation.  There will be more focus on cycles moving forward.  There will also be many more shows that may seem unrelated to astrology but will be essential for our exploration of all these wyrd ideas.  Glad I've still got you along for the ride. -adam to work with me: https://www.adam-sommer.com/ ...to adventure deeper into kosmos, mythos, and psyche   my writing: The Dragon Hole (my Substack): https://kosmognosis.substack.com/   to learn Astrology: www.Patreon.com/adamsommer ....to support the creation of my writings/podcasts and be showered with gifts as well

This is the first show under the new banner/name Constellating Cosmos.  It's the third name and hopefully the last.  To set off on this new journey, I've decided to share this conversation I recently had with Jonathan Fredette.  He's a fellow mycophile out in Oregon and also has a mushroom company called Evolved Mushrooms.  I really enjoyed meeting him.  It reminded me that I've never met a mushroom person I didn't like.  They are all fun guys and gals. watch a FREE class of his HERE: https://www.evolvedmushrooms.com/challenges Support the pod HERE: www.patreon.com/adamsommer work with me HERE: www.adam-sommer.com

In this show, I try to reconcile the differences between Stoicism and Astrology.  There was a time when they existed side-by-side, and it seems they are doing so again today.  Both have seen a generous climb in popularity in recent years and I feel they need eachother—well, one needs the other more than the other.  I make a case for this in the pod.  It's a solo one.  I hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, Jenn returns to share with us some intel from the outer edges of our solar system.  You see, in the early 20th century, there was a school of German astrologers who became fascinated in these "hypothetical" planets beyond Neptune.  This was before Pluto's discovery and gained much momentum in certain circles.  If you have ever seen the option to put Cupido or Hades in your chart, it's these Uranian planets we explore.  Fascinating material.  Jenn is always a treat to talk to.  I learn something new every time—without fail.  Enjoy!
