A Course in Miracles & Divine Assignments with Colin Bedell

Ep. 10

On episode 10, I spoke with Colin Bedell of QueerCosmos about A Course in Miracles and navigating divine assignments and soul connections. Colin is a horoscope writer at Cosmopolitan magazine and has a recently published book called A Little Bit of Astrology: An Introduction to the Zodiac as well as a forthcoming book called Queer Cosmos: The Astrology of Queer Identities and Relationships. Colin was a speaker at the 2017 Sister Giant in Washington D.C and at a recent online summit called Fresh Voices in Astrology. Besides being an astrologer, Colin works intimately with A Course in Miracles, and I invited him on the show to learn more about miracles and how we can develop a deeper connection to them. We talked about A Course in Miracles, and of course, astrology!

As promised, the review I wrote about A Little Bit of Astrology!


"I am stunned and proud of Colin Bedell's lyric reverie in his new book, A Little Bit of Astrology: An Introduction to the Zodiac. As I read through the pages of his book, I felt taken on an aesthetic journey where facets of reality were named and brightened - the personality and essences all around me. It felt like learning astrology again to read his writing and I got this feeling that I was going to be distinctly reanimated with astrology from these moments forward - the way I felt when I first began learning and started to see archetypes living in people and the world. It is the remarkably vibrant way that reality itself begins to take on more complex textures; brightens — and as though the soul of the cosmos becomes aware its finer details are being observed and it begins to reveal more of its beauty to the one whose vision courts it. I think that is one of astrology’s secrets that keeps me coming back to it every day - when approached as though a lover endlessly full of mysteries the study of astrology doesn’t reduce or put things into categories but rather opens up complex and novel forms of poetic understanding. Colin did this. His language is light and fluid and sparkling but the realities he points to are solid and robust. Reading him, my world became brighter. [...] Obviously I recommend his new book! ❤ Do yourself and your friends who don't know astrology yet a favor and get a copy!"

  • 359. Saturn at the Very End of Pisces: Meditations on "Dying Well"

    46:01|
    Saturn in Aries brings up meditations on being a beginner again… but before that, Saturn's transit through the end of Pisces brings up meditations on “dying well”. It's worth appreciating that this heavy, slow planet is moving through the very last degrees of the zodiac for the last time for the next 28.5 years, and re-entering Aries for good. The transition between the end of Pisces and the beginning of Aries is highly symbolic for death and rebirth. This segment of the zodiac (the end of Pisces transitioning into Aries) is rich with the very nature of transition/death itself, and the ways we seek to philosophically or existentially complete our lessons and recycle that as wisdom or resource into the next cycle, as opposed to carrying over unfinished business into the next cycle. This connects to the very nature of karma and reincarnation itself, but it's not just about one lifetime to the next. There are smaller cycles within this life that we complete, or don't. Saturn in the later degree of Pisces pressurizes the spiritual questions we have at 'the end of the story', wherever we are personally experiencing endings.connect more: www.sabrinamonarch.com

  • 356. The Belly of the Beast & the 8th House with Alisha Gore

    59:05|
    In this episode I speak with a student Alisha Gore who completed the evolutionary astrology intensive and subsequently the advanced yearlong salon DIVINER. I wanted to showcase some projects my students made in the salon and also give you a window into what it can be like to be astrologically fluent in a way that you cultivate your own visions, ideas, and voice. Alisha’s project was about the hero’s journey & its astrological correspondences- her connections here opened up an activating, alive way of contemplating not just the natal chart but also our own relationship to adventure - that mythic lens of reading our life experiences and getting to have a more generative story about what we’re "figuring out”, reconciling, becoming in this life.

    On episode 355, Sabrina and Ariana Felix talk about "the great defrosting" - a term Ariana coined about Saturn's transit through Pisces after five years of Saturn transiting its home signs of Capricorn and Aquarius. A perfect conversation for reflecting on 2025 in review (and a little deeper in time than that) and the ways you've spiritually matured -- to be wise and embrace your human experience (aka being a dumb bitch).
