Mercury Retrograde hitting you hard? The Have-You-Ever-Had-A-Dream Team, Wendi and Andrea got you covered. Panic not!Mercury retrograde happens a lot, and while it can feel like some big, big energy, it's all happening for your highest good!More a details guy? Mercury approves! Here's the deets:May 10: stations retrograde at 4 Gemini (review – receptive thinking) May 16-23: Aries Jupiter sextile Mercury Gemini rx (expanding review)  May 20-23: Sun into Gemini conjunct Mercury into Taurus (kiss and trade signs) May 22: enters Taurus in retrograde (review – commitment to being) May 20 – June 2: Capricorn Pluto trine Mercury Taurus rx (transformative review) May 25 – June 3: Aquarius Saturn square Mercury Taurus rx (evaluative review) May 26 – June 2: Pisces Neptune sextile Mercury Taurus rx (idealistic review) June 3: stations direct at 26 Taurus (process – commitment to being)  June 4-11: Aquarius Saturn rx square Mercury Taurus (evaluative process) June 3-12: Pisces Neptune sextile Mercury Taurus (idealistic process)  June 3-15: Capricorn Pluto trine Mercury Taurus (transformative process) June 18: returns to 4 Gemini (process – receptive thinking)  June 17-22: Aries Jupiter sextile Mercury Gemini (expanding process) In summary: Mercury pauses at the precipice of air, receiving information to consider, then returns to review her commitment to her physical self, kissing the Sun as they cross paths in opposite directions. Jupiter supports Mercury’s desire to initiate, to act on what she finds while turning her earth. Pluto lovingly reminds Mercury of the necessary transformation to come, what she must leave behind, the legacy of today’s decisions, and the work that has brought her this far. Feeling fortified, Mercury consults Saturn for resolution, to ensure there are no blind spots in her new plan, and to feel ready for what the next phase requires of her. Neptune provides a little sugar to help the medicine go down, and a salve for any stingers on the journey ahead. Pluto returns to test Mercury’s new process – one final adjustment period before Jupiter thrusts Mercury back into the fast lane, the big leagues, and catching up to her Sun. Synastry is the loving review of two or more natal charts in combination. Need that itch scratched but still working on your astrology basics? The Pattern will allow you to run your chart against friends, family, lovers and even celebrities!If you're attempting synastry on the fly, WitchFoot recommends analyzing the two mercury placements for a substantive starting point!And for those who listened all the way til the end...a gorgeous Adrienne Rich quote to support our Lover's year:From Dreams of a Common Language by Adrienne Rich"I choose to love     this time     for once / with all my intelligence" Support the showwww.tgwfp.com

Join us for a rousing discussion of the mediasphere, how to maintain your own power and for shits and giggles, the Johnny Depp v Amber Heard case.Can anyone STFU?The backlash to the backlash to the thing that's just begun.WitchFoot HIGHLY recommends Bo Burnham's Inside and Make Happy.Recorded court proceedings of Depp v. Heard There's a reason why cameras are rolling at Depp v. Heard but not other high-profile cases. As to whether Depp or Heard finds this invasive, sources range from "Depp fought to have them" to "Depp didn't publicly fight to block them." Whatever the truth is, the Judge made their decision and we have to agree that someone is the expert here! Creamy Tuscan Chicken Recipe (TikTok) (Warning: This recipe's title has not been approved by Tuscany or half of Tiktok. Andrea made it though, and it was bomb dot fucking com. Haters gonna hate.)The algorithm and modern marketing truly aren't working for your benefit or your best interest - you're a data point, and they're exploiting your feelings for profit. The Social Dilemma explains why in heartbreaking detail.

Virgo and Pisces...the Virgin and the Fish That Don't Give a Fuck (slash give all the fucks)...welcome to Divinity!The Basics: Virgo is a mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury and traditionally at home in the sixth house. Pisces is a mutable water sign, ruled by Jupiter and most at home in the 12th house.The Pisces energy is indeed strong with Johnny Cash and Kurt Cobain...RIP you legendary fishes. It's important to give ourselves grace and laugh at ourselves. We think John Goodman's character Walter in The Big Lebowski is a Virgo run wild - enjoy his antics! And speaking of The Big Lebowski, we're not the only ones who see The Dude's Pisces energy! If you love the film and want to immerse yourself in the divinity polarity even more, we recommend The Dude and the Zen Master. Pisces Mitch Hedberg embodies that divinity vibe in comedy form. Another artist gone too soon, but you can still enjoy the laughs he gave us. We also talked about Mercury ruling Virgo, and Mercury in Virgo or Pisces having a particularly irreverent sense of humor. We found this article on debilitated planets, which includes Mercury in Pisces (opposite its rulership) and sheds more light on the clown in all of them. With all of that in mind, enjoy the hilarity of Mercury on the divinity polarity: - Bo Burnham- Jenny Slate + Pete Holmes (how did we forget Pete?!)- Trevor Moore (RIP whitest kid)- Eddie Murphy- Bernie Mac (RIP king of comedy)- Steve Martin- John MulaneyAnd a Dan Cummins bit because we talk about his Taurus Mercury so much. (Even more Cummins, why not?)Carolus Linnaeus (a white guy! shocking!) introduced animal taxonomy, and Wendi isn't even close to the only one who lives in a world where bats are birds. Support the showwww.tgwfp.com

Venus is the ruling planet of the signs Taurus and Libra, and transits the entire zodiac every 225 days (roughly spending two-and-a-half to three weeks in each sign).Having a relationship with Venus can help you to better understand what you value, how you connect and relate to others and even your own sense of self worth. The best way to form that relationship? Understand her in your own chart, and how she impacts you as she traverses the zodiac.Join WitchFoot for this audio tour into Venus. If you want to follow along with the text, visit our in-depth blog post about Venus. Want even more action? Follow you own transits with our in-depth Natal Venus worksheet (PDF).Show Notes:Find your natal Venus.Understand the 12 houses.Learn about aspects and orbs (the degrees away from an exact aspect that will maintain the influence of that aspect). For example, a square is a 90 degree aspect and we traditionally maintain that the influence is felt as early as 87 degrees and as late as 93 degrees.Use an ephemeris to track transiting planets.Dive into the cosmic magic that is a Venus return.Become intimate with Venus in your life using our Natal Venus worksheet (PDF).Support the showwww.tgwfp.com

Aries and Libra...did I just hear someone stir the pot? Who's here for the ram and the scales, masters of Integrity?The Basics: Aries is a cardinal fire sign, ruled by Mars and traditional ruler of the first house.

We first mentioned this complicated and rewarding system in Episode 2 but here we add some flavor and nuance. There are levels of health and unhealth within the types, but then also the possibility to integrate through the entire circle, until you land back at your own type. The ever expanding circle of compassion is discussed in Grandmothers of the Light which I highly recommend, especially if goddesses and wisdom traditions fascinate you.Time is made up! Wendi shares a hack for folks who grew up with the 12 hour clock rather than 24 hour clock - try switching it over and really mess with your own sense of what's real and what's merely useful.Daylight savings time SUCKS.A Course in Miracles (book) - Andrea quotes from the text: "The purpose of time is to enable you to learn how to use time constructively. It is thus a teaching device and a means to an end. Time will cease when it is no longer useful in facilitating learning." Mic drop.Wanna trip? Time isn't even real.Support the showwww.tgwfp.com

Cancer and Capricorn...nom nom nom. Have we just hit on Andrea's favorite polarity!? Not for the faint of heart, these two are concerned with Legacy.The Basics: Cancer is a cardinal water sign, ruled by the Moon and queen of the Imum Ceoli (IC)/fourth house. Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign, ruled by Saturn and supreme leader of the MC/10th house.Show Notes:We used to live and plant by the synodic calendar - moon-based instead of the sun-based Gregorian calendar we're used to today. The Great WitchFoot Project website is LIVE! And it's gorgeous folks.We be riffin on bricks, yo! That Brick House performance never left me. Not Brian Boitano! Kurt Browning for the win.The fourth and tenth houses are oft-studied in the astrology world. They form a cross with your first and seventh, perhaps speaking to the challenges you'll undergo to find yourself in this lifetime. The fourth house cusp is called your Imum Coeli and the tenth house cusp is your MC or Midheaven. If the fourth is your foundation, the tenth is the outgrowth of all you are and how the world sees you.Are you part of the creepy mom's club?

Erudition, learning, seeking, exploring...help us out folks! We landed on Processing as the signature energy for the Gemini/Sagittarius polarity. The optimists of the zodiac are worth knowing.The Basics: Gemini is a mutable air sign, ruled by Mercury and natural ruler of the third house. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign, ruled by Jupiter and the natural ruler of the ninth house.Show Notes:"Facts don't care about your feelings" - most closely associated with Ben Shapiro! Who has prominent Gem AND Sag placements. We nailed it. P.S. Fuck Ben Shapiro.Alice Sparkly Kat discusses the mutable cross brilliantly and with loads of insight around squares and oppositions in the other modalities as well. Sidenote: It sent Andrea down a wild rabbit hole...the Thema Mundi!? I never knew...Andrea references cadent signs and apparently, not a thing! Cadent houses represent the third, sixth, ninth and 12th houses in the zodiac. I would argue the energy is still relevant to the signs that rule them!Colin Bedell - Queercosmos - Incredible Gemini astrologer!Wendi pulled out all the stops with quotes today:Nicki Minaj - "Barbie Things""Sagittarius so you know I'm an optimist"Jim Morrison quotes"I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones.

Wendi and Andrea dive into another fixed polarity: Taurus and Scorpio! For this pair we discuss the energetic signature of Security. *And special note: this is where the North and South Nodes of the moon currently reside in the night sky.The basics: Taurus is a fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus and ruler of the second house. Scorpio is fixed water, ruled by Mars and oversees all affairs in the eighth house.Show Notes:Let's hear it for Generation Scorpio Pluto!Scorpio is synonymous with transformation. Wendi cites the cycle of scorpion to dragon to phoenix. This lovely article discusses it with a slight twist, an eagle as the middle stage. The four fixed stars: Antares (Scorpio), Aldebaran (Taurus), Regulus (Leo), Fomalhaut (Aquarius)Want to go on Andrea's favorite Scorpionic underworld journey?

(Rant on Episode 130 - Casey Anthony)A few times during this episode we reference our previous polarity episode - Leo & Aquarius and their signature energy: Identity. You can hear both Wendi and I extrapolating identity into a broader concept of freedom, because in a world that has very definite ideas about who is allowable, embodying your identity fully is a powerful freedom. So again we say: Find out who you are and do it on purpose.If you're a male-identifying-being born with a significant Taurus signature and you do not love military history, give us a shout.Taurus love to Qveen Herby!Wendi has a beautiful Taurus puppers.Kelly Clarkson and Danielle Fishel - Taurus beauties!Support the showwww.tgwfp.com

Wendi and Andrea share their take on astrological energies and how the polarities shape the wisdom behind the zodiac.Leo and Aquarius are the first pair we tackle in honor of Aquarius season. For this pair we've deemed the predominant desire or energetic signature as Identity.The basics: Leo is a fire sign ruled by the sun, traditionally rules the fifth house and opposes Aquarius on the zodiac. Aquarius is an air sign ruled by Saturn and traditionally rules the 11th house. Both are fixed signs.Andrea's Note: Thank you for loving my beautiful, just-emerging-from-illness voice.

Christ. We read the 1986 edition which contains a foreword that describes many of her techniques in bringing these types of ideas to groups of women. We highly recommend any edition you can find!Carol discusses the four stages of a woman's spiritual and social quest: Nothingness, Awakening, Insight, Naming. WitchFoot discusses "nothingness" and "naming" in this episode. Nothingness being a quality of invalidation and lack of discussion around major themes and prominent feelings and values that many people experience. Lacking templates for the life you were born into. Naming, the final stage, as a response to the understanding, integration and healing that's blossomed into a creative naming process - bringing stories into being by applying new and old words in ways otherwise unseen. Stories that shed light on the vast array of beauty and suffering on earth and allow the shadows to be given space and language. Stories that name women and their complex, beautiful, painful lives so that the patriarchy can't define it for us.Nothingness and naming help to illuminate topics close to our hearts like, why horror can be good for everyone (kids too!) - There is a way that horror addresses power dynamics, feelings of alienation and fear and lots of complex societal ills that has made loyal fans out of both of us. More horror in episode 4!Carol has a PhD from Yale! She's an absolute incarnation of the goddess and this obituary on her is a gift. Also, check out that website (blog and main site)!
