STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family

Well, we're playing catchup on a few past weeks episodes. Mercury retrograde really got us by the throat and we completely failed to upload 3 weekly readings to the podcast platforms. They were still in the app (you should listen there, if only to enjoy our cute illustrations each week, but really so you can read your personal reading for each week) but they didn't make it over here! This week has obviously passed already, but if you're a nerd like us, you always want to go back and reference past weeks astrology from time to time, so for good measure, we're going to post these missing episodes from the past few weeks. As always, to read your and your kids' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

We just want to say up front, this is an especially good week to listen to the audio reading. There’s so much going on and it’s an eclipse week. Every day of this week really acts like a continuous story — each day is a distinct and connected chapter. We talk through the eclipse in detail in the weekly audio reading, and we have super-sized daily audio readings each day on the Today screen that we hope you’ll listen to.This week’s Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is probably not going to rip us apart, but like all eclipses, it’s a powerful catalyst for change, transformation, and evolution on both personal and collective levels. It’s about beginnings, endings, unexpected pivots, and generally just a period where the kinds of changes that burn more slowly the rest of the year suddenly happen at warp speed. Oh, and we’re basically not in control of any of it. We kinda just have to sit back and see where the current takes us. Again, this week’s audio is crucial listening, but one thing to know about Tuesday’s eclipse is that it’s our first taste of the Virgo-Pisces axis. This Lunar Eclipse marks the beginning of eclipses occurring along the Virgo-Pisces axis, which will take about 2 years to complete. This is the opening act of a longer story. In the short term, it’s unfolding over the next few weeks; in the longer term, there’s a story unfolding in this part of your chart (and life) over the next two years.To read your and your kids' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

Well, we warned you last week that this week would be considerably more frustrating, and it definitely is. We've got a Mars-Jupiter conjunction, a Mars-Saturn square, and that's seriously just the beginning. It's long, it's draining, and it's forcing us to slow down whether we want to (we won't) or not. Oh and then we have a Mercury cazimi square Uranus on Sunday, so truly who knows what the f*** is going to happen.To read your and your kids' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

This week, Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo, and then later this week makes a conjunction to Venus. Here's why this is actually (hear us out) good news for parents, whether we like it or not.To read your and your kids' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

This week, we're going deep into how to NOT rip our kids to shreds with Virgo perfectionism. That sounds really intense. It's actually a pretty chill astrology week (finally).To read your and your kids' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

We go beyond the superficial takes on Leo as a sign and dig super deep into how it's low-key one of the most important signs (and seasons) for parenting and letting your inner child play. Sounds corny; is actually super essential.

Here's your rundown of the week to come, including a deep dive into what Saturn retrograde wants parents to re-examine. There's a little bit of revisiting the emotional blueprints of our family life right now and looking at what deep structural repairs we might need to make to the ways in which we are providing emotional support to ourselves, to our kids. How do we respond to our kids' emotional needs? Are there old patterns or wounds that need revisiting in order to maintain and to build a healthier emotional environment for them? Over the coming months while Saturn is stationed retrograde, expect to do a bit of house cleaning and a bit of an audit when it comes to the load bearing structures of your life, when it comes to reviewing your commitments and shoring up your boundaries and getting a reality check about how you consistently honor the responsibilities that come with all the things that you intuitively know to be true for you and your kidsTo read your and your kids' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

This week is about as much of a vibe shift as it gets: We have Venus, Mercury, and the Sun all moving from Gemini into Cancer (in that order), immediately followed by a Full Moon in Capricorn. On the heels of a Gemini season that wanted to run outside and play, Cancer season is a little more about turning to our inner selves, nurturing our foundations at home, and for parents, doubling down on all the wonderful Cancerian traits that are so intimately woven into the experience of caring for kids and cultivating a home for our families (both literal and emotional).We're also talking about what the Capricorn/Cancer axis has to say about parenting. (It's a lot. Maybe everything.)To read your and your kids' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

What could be more appropriate for a Mercury cazimi than unlocking content for everyone?

This week’s astrology promises both stops and starts, breakdowns and breakthroughs. That’s Gemini season, baby: sometimes erratic, always dynamic, and never boring. And all the action of the week feels designed to excavate the way we’re thinking and taking action in our lives and relationships, all leading up to a little ah-ha moment on Friday.

We don't call Saturn "Sky Daddy" for nothing. Today, we're publicly posting our daily reading from the app for two reasons: First, it's just a rough weekend of astrological weather out there and we want to talk about what it means for parents, and also we wanted to just show everyone what our daily audio readings in the app are like. This is what we do every day, alongside brief written readings that are specific to you and unique daily readings for each of your kids based on their astrology. This is what the audio part of that sounds like!To read your and your kids' daily horoscopes for today, along with the detailed weekly overview, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the website: https://starchild.app/iPhone and iPad apps: https://apps.apple.com/fm/app/star-child/id6475495211Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starchild.starchild

Gemini is extremely Gemini-ing this week. Here's what we're talking about in this episode:Mon, June 3: Mercury enters GeminiTues, June 4: Venus cazimi in GeminiTues, June 4: Mercury in Gemini trines Pluto in AquariusTues, June 4: Mercury conjoins Jupiter in GeminiThurs, June 6: New Moon in GeminiSat, June 8: Venus in Gemini squares Saturn in PiscesSun, June 9: Sun in Gemini squares Saturn in PiscesSun, June 9: Mars enters Taurus

Why is the 2nd half of this episode so much better than the first half? Gemini season, baby — it took a minute to get focused. This week, we've got: Mon, May 27: Mercury in Taurus sextiles Saturn in PiscesWed, May 29: Mars conjoins Chiron in AriesFri, May 31: Mercury conjoins Uranus in TaurusSun, June 2: Jupiter in Gemini trines Pluto in AquariusNote from Jessica: "During that whole "your kid's Pluto sign is such a big deal" rant, I definitely didn't make it clear enough that it's not a huge signifier of their personality individually, but rather a major part of what defines them as a generation collectively. Or maybe that was clear! Tis the season to over-explain yourself!"

We're talking about how Gemini season is a masterclass in all the things that make parenting so challenging — and all the skills that we need most to get through it. We'll also unpack in detail exactly why this week's Full Moon in Sagittarius is so extremely nice? This week is a total vibe shift in the year. If you've been kinda bored up until now, prepare for that to stop this week.Full Moon in Sagittarius + the Jupiter/Venus conjunction starts around 13:00.

The STAR/CHILD podcast is about all things astrology and parenting: weekly readings about the astrology of the week, tailored for life with kids, plus deep dives into all the ways astrology can help us examine family relationships: with our kids, co-parents, with our own parents and siblings, and all the people in our lives who feel like family.What does our own astrology say about how we show up to these relationships, and how does a kid's astrology speak to what they need to feel safe, secure, and supported? How do we not mess up our kids like we maybe got messed up as kids? And how does the astrology of each day set us up to get through it all together? That's what we'll get into here.Hosted by STAR/CHILD founder, Jessica Blankenship.Download the STAR/CHILD app on iOS and Android:https://apps.apple.com/fm/app/star-child/id6475495211https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starchild.starchildOr sign up on our website (and get all the same stuff as the app!)https://starchild.app/
