Orbital Nonsense - A Space Magic Podcast

Episode 12: Healing from trauma, Hypatia & The Furies

In this episode, we explore how trauma healing can show up in astrological transits, and how longer cycles can reflect processes of integration, recovery, and deep personal change. We talk about the saturn half return and the 6th house/12th house axis once more. From there, we turn to asteroid astrology and history, diving into Hypatia, her life, her legacy, and what her asteroid can symbolize in a birth chart. We then call in the Furies, examining their asteroid and how themes of righteous anger, justice, and protection can manifest astrologically.

Episode 11: Energy healing recap, Rest, Trauma & Abuse

In this episode, we circle back to our recent bonus episode on energy healing. From there, we move into gentler cosmic territory: how you can use a birth chart and transits to recognize when you need more rest, and what rest actually looks like for you on a personal, embodied level. A big part of this conversation lives at the intersection of astrology, trauma, and healing, how the nervous system speaks through the chart, and how timing can support recovery instead of pushing productivity. We close with a careful, necessary discussion about ethics: whether, when, and under what circumstances it’s okay to look at the chart of someone who has hurt you, including abusive people, and what responsibility astrologers have when navigating that territory.

Episode 10: Sexuality, Life Purpose & How To Spoil Yourself

In this episode, we dive straight into the glittery deep end: how sexuality, especially any form of queerness, can show up in a birth chart. From there, we wander into the existential: how to find your personal meaning or life’s purpose through key chart placements. Then we pivot (dramatically, as always) to the question of luxury. Not the generic kind — your personal kind of luxury. The astrology of what feels indulgent, comforting, decadent, or soul-feeding, whether that’s silk sheets, silence, or a very specific queer café aesthetic. And for reasons unknown to science or the stars, this episode is absolutely riddled with tangents. We chase them all. Gleefully.

Episode 9 - Phobias, Family Charts & Themes of the Year

In this episode, Veda opens with a deceptively simple question: How do phobias manifest in a birth chart? From there, we tumble into the cosmic genetics of family charts, why relatives often share strikingly similar placements, sometimes across multiple generations. Lily gives a quick crash course on what an ephemeris actually is and how astrologers use it, and then we dig into the big one: how to figure out the major theme of your next year (or any longer stretch of time) using astrology. And, naturally, we end with Veda calling Lily out for reading their recommended book at glacial speed… and Lily attempting to defend herself.

Episode 8 - A Deep Dive into Business Charts

In this episode, we turn the astrological lens on ourselves. Or rather, on our podcast’s TikTok account. Yep, even social media has a birth chart! We break down how to read charts for businesses and projects, using our own as a living example. From branding energy to viral potential, we explore what the stars say about online presence, creative direction, and a little bit of internet chaos.
