Lunar Lover: The Podcast
In Conversation: Shadows, Visibility & a Lil Self-Reflection
Mel is back for another In Conversation episode, and this week we're revisiting Venus Retrograde to see whether it lived up to the hype (and what we're glad to leave behind!).
We're also diving into Scorpio Season's fascination with the shadow, the taboo and all things hidden, before exploring the Leo and Chiron energy that's asking us to rethink our relationship with confidence, attention and being seen.
Expect personal stories, a few confessions and plenty of food for thought as we ask: at what point does wanting to be seen turn into needing to be seen?

625. Scorpio New Moon: The Stories We Tell Ourselves
35:56||Season 6, Ep. 625Just because you feel something strongly doesn't necessarily mean your interpretation is the whole truth.The Scorpio New Moon on November 9 is inviting us to question the stories we tell ourselves, recognise familiar emotional patterns and rethink how we respond when something touches a nerve.With Mars and Jupiter in Leo adding fuel to the fire, Mercury retrograde encouraging reflection, and the Lunar Nodes highlighting old habits, this New Moon is all about creating space between what happens, what we think it means and what we choose to do next.In this episode, I'll explore the astrology behind this powerful lunation, its shadow and invitation, practical ways to work with it, and how to personalise it using your own natal chart.Want to learn how to interpret your entire natal chart?

624. You Don't Have To Burn It All Down This Scorpio Season
38:37||Season 6, Ep. 624Scorpio Season is here, and with both Mercury and Venus retrograde, the internet would have you believe we're all heading for some sort of cosmic reckoning. But what if transformation doesn't have to mean total destruction?In this episode, I'm exploring the deeper themes of Scorpio Season (October 23 to November 22), why two simultaneous retrogrades aren't necessarily bad news, and what Pluto's return to direct motion means for the weeks ahead.We're also diving into our complicated relationship with control, the difference between surrender and giving up, and why sometimes the most powerful transformation is simply learning to loosen your grip.Plus, practical ways to work with Scorpio Season, a little personal reflection, and affirmations to carry you through the month.Want to learn how to interpret your entire natal chart?

623. Your Venus Sign Isn't Your Love Language (It's More Complicated Than That)
33:01||Season 6, Ep. 623We're in week two of Venus Retrograde, so I thought it was the perfect time to explore love and relationships through the lens of your natal chart. And this week, you chose the topic!Your Venus sign might reveal what attracts you, but does it tell you what you actually need to feel loved?In this episode, I'm exploring the difference between attraction, emotional security and desire through Venus, the Moon and Mars. I'll use my own placements (Venus in Gemini, Moon in Virgo and Mars in Scorpio) to show you how our relationship needs can sometimes seem contradictory, and why that's not necessarily a bad thing.We'll also explore how to use your natal chart to better understand your own needs in love, and why there's so much more to your relationship story than one planetary placement.Want to learn how to interpret your entire natal chart?

621. Introducing... Lunar Lover: In Conversation
01:06:17||Season 6, Ep. 621Welcome to the very first Lunar Lover: In Conversation, a new monthly episode where I’m joined by Melissa for a more conversational look at the astrology we’re actually living through, using our own lives and charts as the case studies.For our first conversation, we’re going back through our Venus Retrograde histories to see what was really happening each time Venus changed direction. Relationships ended, exes resurfaced, money arrived, values shifted and, in hindsight, the astrology is rather hard to ignore.Then we travel back to 2018, the last time Venus retrograded through this same part of Scorpio and Libra, to explore our eight-year echoes and ask: what would 2026 us tell our 2018 selves?We also share what we’re watching as this Venus Retrograde unfolds, so we can come back next month and find out whether the echo actually echoed.Go and give Mel a follow and connect with her: @the.numbersmiths and www.thenumbersmiths.comPurchase the Venus Retrograde 2026 MasterclassHow To Find Any Degree In Your Natal ChartThe Ultimate Manifestation Visualisation MeditationSubscribe to the Lunar Lover newsletterBook in for a Natal Chart Reading with JordannaOrder a copy of All Signs Point To YouInternational readers order here.

619. Aries Full Moon: Instinct or Impulse?
