Turning Of The Wheel Podcast

Saturn has long been regarded by astrologers as the heavy.  Often seen as the taskmaster, Saturn is the time keeper and the essence of responsibility, duty, and sobriety.  While this planet espouses all those characteristics, it is also there for us when we need to do the right thing.  In many cases Saturn, may be our best friend and closest ally.  In this segment, astrologer and host, Chris Flisher, discusses this and other related topics with world-renowned astrologer, Erin Sullivan.  

The "tao" is an ancient term used to describe the fundamental foundation of the universe.  In short, it is how we exist and inter-relate with all that surrounds us.  Do we engage and live in the now?  Are we too pulled by distraction to understand the here and now?  What could we gain from being more filly present?  All of these questions and more are part of host and astrologer, Chris Flisher's discussion with author Derek Lin whose book, "The Tao of Happiness" explores these concepts in an effort to enlighten and engage the human need for connection to reality.

Following in the footsteps of her legendary father, Jeffrey Wolf Green, Deva Green has taken up the mantle of evolutionary astrology.  Using Pluto as the entry point and working with the North and South nodes, Evolutionary astrology traces back the origins of the individual to a point in time where the past and the present intersect.  Listen as astrologer and host Chris Flisher discusses this deep conversation with Deva.

Much has been written about the coming age of Aquarius.  The topic dates back to the late 1960s when the concept was immortalized in the Broadway production of the controversial theatrical production of "Hair."  However, for all of its commercial appeal and success, little has been discussed regarding the actual shift into that age.  What does this new age involve?  What can we expect to see?  Do we evolve into something new?  Based on the precession of the equinoxes, the gradual shift into this epoch occurs over great expanses of time.  However, it is on its way and astrologer and host Chris Flisher speaks with colleague and astrologer Adrian Duncan in this segment about this momentous event.

When we think of astrology, many of us defer to our Sun signs as the first point of discovery.  And rightfully so.  The Sun sign is the primary indicator of the individual.  It stands as the marker of the personality, the attributes of distinction and the full embodiment of the character.  In this segment, astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with colleague and astrologer, Frank C. Clifford about this primary cornerstone of our individuality. 

The Nodes are important indicators in the individual astrology horoscope.  They signify the past and the future of an individual and carry great information regarding each personal journey.  In this segment astrologer ad host, Chris Flisher speaks with evolutionary astrologer Mark Jones about the significance of these points in the study of astrology.  

Relationships may be the single most important influence of our time on earth.  How we connect and with whom can leave a major imprint on our hearts, our lives, our paths.  Are the people we meet supposed to show up?  Do we have relationships to learn?  Does our ideal match exist?  Why do some people leave a bigger footprint on our hearts than others?  Are quick dates meant to enlighten us?  What about those we don't like?  These and many more questions are the subject of this podcast with your host and astrologer, Chris Flisher as he speaks with author and astrologer, Jessica Shepherd about her book titled, "Karmic Dates & Momentary Mates."

Many of us watch the markets with a unnerving sense of concern.  We have seen huge gains and just as large losses.  They seem to happen with a definitive pattern, and yet, they also appear out of nowhere.  What causes these swings?  Is there a cyclical pattern to the trends of the financial markets?  Does the motion of the planets have an impact on the markets?  Astrologer and world-renowned financial expert, Bill Meridian believes there is a distinct connection.  Listen as we discuss the current financial climate and what we might expect to see in the coming years.  As the world reels from dramatic events across many cultures we may be primed for a massive unparalleled correction.  Are we ready?

The occult practices have captured the imagination of countless people down through the ages.  Whether it be witchcraft, tarot, Ouija, runes, mysticism, or even astrology; the human mind's capacity for the intrigue of the unknown remains boundless.  There is a fascination that penetrates deep into the psyche of each person who has ever asked the question, why.  In this archived segment, host, Chris Flisher, speaks with author Mitch Horowitz about his book, "Occult America."

Humankind has been fascinated with the supernatural since time began.  Are we alone in this universe?  Do external powers and creatures exist?  Have we data to support the paranormal?  Whay are we interested in this unknown realm?  These and many more questions are the subject of this discussion between host Chris Flisher and author Richard Smoley.

In this archived segment from 2010, host Chris Flisher discusses the presence of these two influential planets as they combine their energies in the most expressive and expansive manner.  While the location of the planets by sign is not currently accurate in 2015, the influence and effect of them should be readily apparent to all.  We should use this time with these planets to express our collective desire to make things right in the world. 

When we bump into the same people again and again over a brief course of time what does that mean?  When we are reminded of a subject repeatedly, what does that indicate?  Coincidences, random events and serendipity are all events that startle us into paying attention.  What is the reason?  Why are we reminded?  Is there an astrological profile that fits these types of events?  Listen as astrologer and host, Chris Flisher discusses this subject with astrologer Elisabeth Grace.

Saturn has long been a strong indicator of the health of financial markets.  Any time this planet of responsibility comes into a tight angle with any other outer planet, the financial markets begin to tremble.  Angles to Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto, present a dangerous mix for a re-ordering of the fiscal world.  Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with financial astrologer Mitchell Lewis about this ominous alignment.  Is there more to come?  When do we see the bottom?  Is this a necessary correction or a sign of a sinking collapse of capitalism?  Lewis is known for his keen observations about financial markets and planetary alignments.

Are we immersed in a far more intense time than our parents?  Is time moving faster or have we simply turned up the volume?  In this segment astrologer and host Chris Flisher speaks with astrologer Armand Diaz about this complex time and what it looks like and why.  Is this simply Uranus in Aries or are we truly coming undone?  Is Pluto reconstructing our whole pattern of life?  Listen, learn and discover why.

Even though we may consult our astrology on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, many of us may not know when or why the forecast is so accurate.  In this discussion astrologer and host, Chris Flisher discusses the roots or historical basis for astrology with astrologer, Chris Brennan.  Over 5000 years ago stargazers could only see as far as Saturn with the naked eye.  Yet today we have a much broader view of our solar system and incorporate Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in our consideration of human character.  Yet Hellenistic astrology only considers the planets out to the original grouping which ends with Saturn.  Is that enough of a view to provide accuracy?  Many argue that astrology has become too cluttered with data which clouds the true image of the individual.  Is that true?  Listen and learn.

In this segment, host and astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with spiritual advisor, Selina Maitreya on the use of astrology for spiritual growth.  Astrology is one of the oldest divination tools known to humankind and its time-tested information can be incredibly useful in expanding one's outlook regarding their spiritual journey.  Listen and learn about this side of astrology.

Do individual signs of the zodiac have certain health issues?  Does a Taurus have unique qualities over a Gemini?  Do Aries concoct more cerebral injuries than say a Capricorn?  These and many more questions will be discussed in this segment as host Chris Flisher interviews medical astrologer, Diane Cramer.  In addition, they will discuss the use of cell salts as they apply to the individual signs.  Do the cell salts address the health challenges of each sign appropriately?  Learn what works best for your sign.

The planet that brings us harmony and the essesnce of love and affection turns retrograde every 18 months and remains in that direction for approximately 40 days and 40 nights (sound familiar.)  Like most retrogrades it is not a time of panic or hand-wringing, but rather an opportunity to reflect on relationships, projects, and how we love each other.  Listen as astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with Arielle Guttman, author of "Venus Star Rising" on this cyclical event that allows us to reconsider our options and act accordingly....or not.

We are standing on the cusp of a major shift.  The shift is occuring on all levels; socially, politically, financially, environmentally, and spiritually.  How do we mitigate this shift?  What does it take for us to survive AND thrive through these enormous changes headed our way.  There is a price to pay for all of us, but there is also redemption woven into the fabric of recovery.  When we are best informed, we are best prepared to adapt and evolve.  Living, acting, investing, maintaining, and sharing locally may be the secret to our individual growth and survival.  Listen as host and astrologer, Chris Flisher speaks with astrologer and visionary Michael St. Clair about this remarkably broad and far-reaching subject.  Be prepared.

In this archived podcast, astrologer and host, Chris Flisher speaks with astrologer and author, Joseph Crane about surviving Pluto.  This coming week NASA will arrive within viewing distance of the illusive planet, Pluto for the first time in history.  This is a momentous occasion and worthy of our collective attention.  Over 3 billion miles away, Pluto has never been within our grasp--until now.  The New Horizons spacecraft was launched in 2006 and has been traveling since to reach this destination where it will send photos and data back to earth.  In this segment Joseph and Chris talk about the astrological ramifications of Pluto and its archetypal relevance.  Pluto is no small planet within the realm of astrology and our arrival at this planet, at this point in time, is indeed noteworthy.  What will this bring to us?  How will we view the universe from this point forward?  What does Pluto offer?  How will it affect you?
