Lunar Lover: The Podcast
Introducing... Lunar Lover: In Conversation
Season 6, Ep. 621
•
Welcome to the very first Lunar Lover: In Conversation, a new monthly episode where I’m joined by Melissa Byrne 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.com

Virgo New Moon: The Next Useful Step
17:34||Season 6, Ep. 617Eclipse season is officially behind us, and the Virgo New Moon feels like an invitation to put our hands gently back on the wheel.In this episode, I explore the September 11 New Moon at 18º Virgo, its supportive sextile to Mars in Cancer, and why this lunation isn’t asking you to overhaul your life or perfect your routines. Instead, we’re looking at the small, useful adjustments that can make life work a little better. You don’t need the whole map. You just need the next useful step.The 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.616. Before Venus Goes Retrograde Listen To This

Venus has officially entered her pre-retrograde shadow, beginning a journey through Libra and Scorpio that will take us all the way to December.In this episode, I’m breaking down what a retrograde shadow actually is, why Venus will travel the same degrees three times, and what to start paying attention to now when it comes to relationships, money, desire, intimacy and what you truly value. Think of this as the opening chapter. We don’t know the whole story yet, but the clues may already be appearing.The 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.615.
