Magic of the Spheres Podcast
Planetary Combinations of Mercury with Becca Tarnas Part One
On episode 39, I had Becca Tarnas back on the show to discuss the planetary combinations of Mercury after we last discussed the planetary combinations of Venus. This episode is part one of our conversation and we’ll make it out through Saturn, so check back next week for part 2 where we will discuss Mercury’s combinations with Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
Becca is a scholar, artist, and counseling astrologer, and an editor of Archai: The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology. She received her PhD in Philosophy and Religion at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco and her dissertation is titled The Back of Beyond: The Red Books of C.G. Jung and J.R.R. Tolkien.
Speaking with Becca and getting to otherwise interact with her work is a real pleasure one reason of which is that she combines such deep intellect and scholarship with the numinous and the mythic, which I feel becomes a doorway to making new connections about the magic of the world around us. Archetypes, after all, are everywhere. We explored Mercury as it expresses in people’s communication styles but also some of the esoteric qualities of Mercury like spell-casting, etymology, and “dead languages”.

The Romance of the 11th House with Maeg Keane
01:00:25|In this episode I’m joined again by Maeg Keane to talk about the 11th house — Maeg is an astrologer who I really admire, I find them deeply inventive. Astrology is, or it can be, very animistic - where the planets, signs, and all of their correspondences - plants, myths, stones, etc - are alive and sentient and we can talk with them. Maeg, I feel, is continually having unique and inspired conversations with *the beings* and then bringing something scintillating back to instagram or substack or 1:1 readings, coming from a foundation of technical skill in astrology but always with these added dimensions of magic and connection from their own process. The 11th house is about ideals, hopes, dreams, and wishes, social networks, friends - to start. It was known in ancient astrology as the house of “good spirit”. In Evolutionary Astrology, the 11th house includes these associations with networks, friends, community, but also relates to trauma or trauma signatures. In our conversation here we unpack the 11th house and especially explore how it corresponds with 5th house topics like creativity, play, and romance, but in a more diffused or decentralized way.We spoke last on this podcast about the opposite house, the 5th house, a few years ago — and it was up there as a beloved episode on this podcast.
