Magic of the Spheres Podcast
Planetary Combinations of Venus with Becca Tarnas Part 1
Ep. 15
•
On episode 15, I interviewed Becca Tarnas, scholar and archetypal astrologer. She recently received a PhD in Philosophy and Religion at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and her dissertation is titled The Back of Beyond: The Red Books of C.G. Jung and J.R.R. Tolkien. She is a deeply imaginative intellectual and a talented astrologer. When we had this conversation I honestly felt like a portal to another universe opened up!
In this episode we talked about the nature of archetypes, the current Saturn-Pluto conjunction and how we’ve been seeing that manifest, the planetary combinations of Venus through the pairings she makes with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and so on all the way out to Pluto, and then at the end we wrapped back around to Saturn and Pluto by talking about the triple combination of Venus, Saturn, and Pluto (listen to part 2 of this episode for that). I honestly feel transformed by this conversation, and I imagine that any astrologers or astrology enthusiasts out there will also take something away from this episode that enhances your understanding of Venus.
To get into the juiciness of this episode, you probably need to know how to tell what planets you have in aspect to Venus - (those are things like Venus conjunct, sextile, square, opposition and trine). I’m guessing a lot of the listeners here are into astrology but can’t assume! So in case you don’t know off the top of your head what planets you have in aspect to Venus or what your friends’ and lovers’ Venus aspects are…. This would be a good time to geek out on astro.com, perhaps try their free chart called “astro click portrait” and take a look around, and the software on that site will tell you who Venus is touching in your chart.

Saturnian Full Moon ECLIPSE in Virgo
50:13|On episode 313 Sabrina forecasts the full moon eclipse on March 14, 2025 that features a Sun-Saturn conjunction in Pisces (on the north node) and the moon in Virgo on the south node. The Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo may offer us changes of heart and perspective when it comes to perfectionism and high, punishing, or unrealistic standards or fantasies therein. The desires in of themselves for success, ecstasy, excellence, or dreams materialized are not wrong, but we have likely picked up distortions along the way of holding these desires along with our attempts to control outcomes.MENTIONED:Eros & the Fixed Signs consultThe Evolutionary Astrology Intensive - now starting May 6, 2025: https://sabrina-monarch.squarespace.com/Email me sabrina@monarchastrology.com to inquire about 1:1 Mentorship or express interest in the next advanced alumni program✨💌✨ Sign up for my mailing list for forecasts, course openings & updates on when my books are open: http://eepurl.com/b2U6bPListen to Hungry Ghosts of Paradise, an original audio-novella by Sabrina Monarch: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LbzdxRIAxMpVkN34sYeBU?si=CFRU1DGfRZKjbbQD8zkKpwIG: @sabrinamonarchbe mindful of impersonator scammers on social mediaMusic by Danny Lampton of The Light & The Weight commissioned for Magic of the Spheres Podcast.hungry ghosts of paradise ad music includes samples from April Gloom used with permission312.

311. The Black Hole, the Fate & Trusting the Shape with Hawk
01:28:08|Sabrina talks with omen reader, magician, astrologer and friend Hawk - our conversation starts out casual and unravels into a metaphysical dialogue about black holes, the shape of reality and ‘conforming’ to the true shape of reality as a devotional spiritual act, the astrological Pluto, and more… so enjoy the full ride of us being weird to us really getting in the deep end.. I like the portrait it shows of our casual back and forth between the absurd and the profound that we also fall into off the air.Mentioned:The Evolutionary Astrology Intensive & Pluto masterclasses Symbols of Power and Tender DesireGLAMOUR MAGIChttps://www.hawkstrology.com/blog/theomenmodel - "why does astrology work? sinews in the body of god" article by HawkHawk's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hawkstrology/Hungry Ghosts of Paradise audio novella - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LbzdxRIAxMpVkN34sYeBU?si=CFRU1DGfRZKjbbQD8zkKpwThe Evolutionary Astrology Intensive - starting April 8, 2025: https://sabrina-monarch.squarespace.com/Email me sabrina@monarchastrology.com to inquire about 1:1 Mentorship or express interest in the next advanced alumni program✨💌✨ Sign up for my mailing list for forecasts, course openings & updates on when my books are open: http://eepurl.com/b2U6bPListen to Hungry Ghosts of Paradise, an original audio-novella by Sabrina Monarch: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LbzdxRIAxMpVkN34sYeBU?si=CFRU1DGfRZKjbbQD8zkKpwIG: @sabrinamonarchbe mindful of impersonator scammers on social mediaMusic by Danny Lampton of The Light & The Weight commissioned for Magic of the Spheres Podcast.hungry ghosts of paradise ad music includes samples from April Gloom used with permission
