Really enjoyed Claire's interaction with Chris and Austin. She fits right in and is fun and knowledgable.

[PipsPsyche]

Claire did a great job!! she gave me a reading a few months back and she was amazing

[zitapuskas]

The thing is with eclipses... you CAN'T avoid it. It pulls you in. Last fall my mother died between the two eclipses. In my experience, you have to go with the flow. Trying not to make decisions is like trying to hold onto something. However, eclipses are here for a course change. So if you don't go with the flow, you go against the current of the universe.

You guys are beyond aweome - thanks so much for sharing these podcasts so generously, and with so much excellence!

[legony]

Yay for the Auspicious Election with libra asc c: Loved this! I always love Chris and Austin together and Claire was such a lovely addition for the episode, thank you guys!

[jekalambert]

Nice synergy between the 3 of you. I hope Claire will return!

[erinmacro]

Thanks to Austin for that specific comment about the third decan of Aries, I have my natal Jupiter at 26 Aries and it resonates so much!

[BeataTarotTutorials]

Thank you, excellent discussion as usual! As a Taurus Sun I can't wait for all the good times in Taurus land! Yay! 🥳

[nelliedrew]

( Note to self: Mercury direct and Jupiter in Taurus timestamp. ) Great episode, comprehensive and insightful. Thank you Chris, Austin, and Claire.🙏

[LightbodyCodeLinks]

From Australia, I love every minute of 2 1/2hours!❤🎉

[candicek.]

You guys are the best astrological teachers and analysts! So appreciative of your work in bringing your interpretations of the energies for the month and providing historical perspectives. I’m in awe of your talents and love and enjoy the sense of humor each of you have. You make a great trio. ✨💫💖

[felixvandriem]

After watching many podcasts on this and Keppler College site it dawns on me that the complexity in any one horoscope is way too much to be covered in the average one-hour natal reading. What would you consider necessary ingredients for a deep-dive into the natal horoscope? In other words, what should/could I ask an astologer to look at in my chart? Fixed stars? Non-platonic aspects? I mean there's so much to look at. I had a very good natal reading but would like to gain deeper insight into the natal promise.

[Beverly]

Claire, I'm excited to see you, just booked my birthday reading with you.

[riqo]

Js…Uber, perfect research tool for astrologers. People are evolving and I’m providing them resolution & more peace

[robertgeraldwalker]

Listening to this late, a few days after the eclipse, the forecasting of the emotional tenor of this dragon's taill lunar eclipse, the churning up and pooping out of feelings, the dark water element, is spot on. A great deal of churning in my own and others' lives, and not always provoked by external events. Lots of watery processing going on all around during this period, more than usual.
