#078 Having Mercury Retrograde in Your Natal Chart
01/07/22 • 36 min
This is a pre-recorded show as this week it’s my birthday! Hooray!
It’s one of the more commonly known aspects of astrology these days – even Taylor Swift has talked about it publicly. We like to blame our misgivings on it, and know we have to be extra careful whenever we find ourselves on the run up to, or in the midsts of: Mercury Retrograde.
But what does it mean if you were born during one of these periods? To start with, it’s fairly common as Mercury moonwalks roughly 3-4 times per year about 3 weeks at a time. So not too remarkable. But it is still an interesting phenomena which impacts the native, especially if they have Gemini or Virgo in their big three.
It’s also worth taking into consideration a technique called secondary progressions as you may find yourself experiencing a retrograde period over a much longer period of time through your progressed chart (I’ll definitely have to cover this in another show).
Hopefully this episode will enlighten you on the ins and outs of Mercury’s meaning when moonwalking through the natal chart.
Do you have Mercury retrograde in your natal chart? When did it turn retrograde? Was it stationing to turn retrograde or direct? Did anything I say in this show resonate, or did I miss something you feel is important?
Let me know!

#077 NYE Episode: The Astro-Highlights of 2022
I know it's cliché, but I can't believe how quickly the time flies.
We are already saying goodbye (and good riddance) to 2021, and moving on to 2022 with high(ish) hopes that this year will be at least a little bit better than the last.
And by the looks of the astrology, it will be.
During this episode, I look at the North and South Node plus the Taurus–Scorpio eclipses, the FOUR Mercury Retrogrades of 2022, a brief look at the transpersonal planets: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, and the Jupiter–Neptune conjunction in Pisces which occurs in April.
If you'd like to take a deeper look at Jupiter in Pisces, I've done a walkthrough for each of the signs which will be going up on my Patreon page in the next few days. There's a Venus Retrograde interpretation for each of the signs as well.
Thank you so much for supporting The Stellium Astrology Podcast over the past year. Without you this podcast would be nothing!
Wishing you all a wonderful 2022! xx

#079 Where To Start | How To Interpret The Birth Chart
FYI Ewan was with me during today’s episode and being rather noisy but as my life is a little crazy I have to seize my moments where I can. This podcast is very important to me and I want to continue putting it out for you all. Hence Ewan is playing with toys, chatting, sneezing and farting (pooping?) during today’s episode!
Hopefully it isn’t too distracting. Please let me know if you find it difficult to concentrate on what I’m saying or if you enjoyed Ewan’s first appearance on the show!
So you’ve listened to all the foundation episodes of the podcast. You’ve absorbed the information like the thirsty little astro-nerd you are (you’re in good company here!) and you’re almost ready to go.
Except, you aren’t quite sure how to pull it all together? It’s all good and well knowing how everything works separately, but how do you put it all together and give the chart a voice?
There are generally two approaches a couple of methods with astrology which help to understand the chart.
Firstly you can find your way in using a methodical approach using the ’big three’ – the Sun, Moon and Ascendant. The Ascendant is a great place to start as the figurative ‘front door’ of the chart.
Then there’s the an intuitive approach, allowing the chart to speak to you and following the most enticing thread you find.
It seems like other people can just glance at a chart and see the story behind it. And they probably can, but it takes practice.
An ultimately, there is no right or wrong way to start reading the natal chart, just do what feels right to you!
Hopefully this episode helps you to understand how to pull it together if you’re not sure how to approach interpretation.
Do you have a way of reading the chart that I’ve not mentioned? How do you approach it? Share with me in the comments!
