Turning Points with Mark Jones

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!

This is the final podcast of 2023.  Instead of doing a recap of the year, I've decided to choose the top 3 themes of 24' I've been thinking about, and share what I think about them.  It's also a solo show.  I know, I attempted to do all of them as solo shows at the start of the year, but had to squeeze a few conversations in there.  I felt lonely.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.  See you next year!!!   Eudaimonia, 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  

In this show, I share one of my favorite theories of how astrology works and how such a simple technique can change your life forever.  It relates to dreaming.  The overlap between dreams and transits has intrigued me from the beginning; I have learned so much from the interplay between the two that I feel it's now time to share a few of my findings.  I hope it inspires you to do the same.

In this show, Tansy returns to talk about the Soul.  We speak about what it is, why it's important to tend to it, and what must be done to retrieve parts of it if it goes wandering.  It's not the most astrological of my pods, yet it's still a valuable conversation.  I hope you find some meaning in it and get inspired to work with Tansy as well.

This show is more of a check-in than an entertaining podcast, yet it's an important one.  The podcast is nearing it's Saturn opposition and it's bringing up a lot.  I share where I'm at but also open the floor up to all of you to assist in dreaming up the future of this little hole to heaven.  I do hope you listen.

Amanda Walsh returns to the show for the second time to share with us some good insights about the Maui fire and explore with me the incessant concern of AI for our field.  We do have a chart for the fire, but if you have a more accurate chart, please email it to me.  I hope you enjoy our conversation.

In this show, Mark Jones returns!  We could consider this one to be the 10th anniversary for us; it was back in 2013 when we first met via the pod, having finally met in person in 2019 to deepen our rapport.  Now, officially an IRL ally, I try to make it up to Wales as often as possible to hang and record if it's in the air.  This visit it was definitely in the air.  Enjoy   Eudaimonia, Adam   to work with me: https://www.adam-sommer.com/ ...to adventure deeper into kosmos, mythos, and psyche   to learn Astrology: www.Patreon.com/adamsommer ....to support the creation of my writings/podcasts and be showered with gifts as well   my writing: The Dragon Hole (my Substack): https://kosmognosis.substack.com/
