The Cosmic Dispatch

The Cosmic Dispatch is a weekly astrological weather report about bodies: the celestial and the earth-bound. Join astrologer and body-mind therapist Cory Nakasue as she guides us through the ever-changing astrological weather and uses the tools of astrology to help us connect to our bodies and communities. At its heart, astrology is about relationships: to time, nature, and change. How can we best understand different qualities of time? How can we deepen our relationships with ourselves and others? We’ll use the week’s astrology as a jumping off point to discuss topics such as current events, health, personal development, and more! We’ll also speak with guests and listen to music that embodies the current astrology, and answer audience questions.

The astro-weather in this episode gives a run down of the Month of January and starting January first. The month of January helps set new things in motion - eventually. This month we have Mars, Mercury and Uranus all stationing direct. This will create a tonal shift, though it may be slow to start. The astrology of the week includes: Venus conjunct Pluto (in Capricorn), Venus’s ingress into Aquarius, Cancer full moon.

Questions answered in this episode:

I’d like to talk about the difference (and overlap) between the primordial tidal waters of Cancer and the amniotic fluid that is Pisces. Is this just… water element stuff? Cancer - ebbs and flows Pisces - less “ebb and flow” more, “just is”.

I have heard astrologers say things like “there are no bad placements” and “there are no bad aspects”, but then I hear words like “opposition” and “tension” and that makes me think “bad”. Which is it?

I have Mercury and Saturn both retrograde in my natal chart. I feel like I have a pretty decent grasp on the Mercury retrograde thing as it relates to the collective, but I am curious what it (and Saturn retrograde) represent in a natal chart?
