Astrology Talk
The Astrology Talk podcast is a monthly conversation between two dear friends and fellow astrologers, Christina Rodenbeck & Sally Kirkman. We take a look at the month ahead, discuss what’s happened and generally chew the astrological fat. The main podcast is broadcast on the 18th of every month. Our style is friendly and fun, light and informative, yet our astrology is deep and incisive, accurate and relevant. We also host a sister podcast — Astrology Talk Investigates — in which we discuss a specific question. That comes out on the 8th of every month. You can find Astrology Talk on all good platforms, watch it on YouTube or listen to it here. Please subscribe so you don’t miss out, leave us a glowing review, share the podcast far and wide and, most importantly, join us as we talk about our favourite topic, astrology.

Christina & I, Sally, met at the sublime Watts Chapel in Compton, Surrey to record the latest podcast. The chapel is an arts & crafts masterpiece, an ideal setting to talk about the perfectionist, attention-to-detail star sign, Virgo.There was a lot to reflect back on – discussing Mercury retrograde, the eclipse season and Mars returning to earth sign Capricorn.We both agreed that it's an exciting month coming up and one we're more than ready for. With a strong emphasis on earth signs, an ideal time to get productive, be creative and secure strong foundations.Mars-ruled signs, Aries & Scorpio, also get their power back once Mars turns direct at the end of August. All star signs can finally take their foot off the brake.[n.b. What we hadn't taken into account was the fact that we were recording while Mercury was still retrograde. Thus, we ended up with three separate sections of recording which Christina spliced together beautifully. In the last seven minutes or so of the recording, we forget to close the windows, so you can hear the background murmur of people and traffic. Also, in the podcast, I state that Roger Moore was a Sun Virgo, when obviously I meant to say Sean Connery (Roger's a Sun Libra). I mixed up my Bonds! Plus, we omitted to mention the date of the Jupiter-Pluto sextile aspect is September 12th. Other than that, everything went seamlessly - lol!]We still think you will enjoy listening to what we hope is an informative and insightful guide to your month ahead. Our overriding aim is to bridge the gap between Sun signs and the complex yet beautiful art of astrology.Please do send us your comments and feedback and let us know, in true Virgo fashion, whether we make the grade.Our astrology websites:**Christina Rodenbeck:** [The Oxford Astrologer](https://www.oxfordastrologer.com)**Sally Kirkman:** [Sally Kirkman Astrology](http://www.sallykirkman.com)Want to know more about Virgo?

To get in a regal, Leoish sort of mood before this podcast, we looked at the castle and had cake at Madame Posh's tea rooms in Windsor. Then, in traditional podcast mode, we sat in a car -- with air-conditioning -- and recorded our conversation about the month ahead.It's quite a juicy one. With two interesting eclipses and two inner planets turned retrograde, there's a lot to discuss. What is more those eclipses and those planets become curiously entangled -- creating ripples around the Zodiac.Oh and then there are the outer planets -- stimulating some flow and creating tension…As always, we talk about what the big events over the next month mean for your individual star sign. There's something for everyone.Next month, we'll be hanging out at the glorious arts and crafts chapel in Compton -- that's Surrey not LA - in honour of that perfectionist's sign, Virgo.Our astrology websites:Christina Rodenbeck: [The Oxford Astrologer](https://www.oxfordastrologer.com)Sally Kirkman: [Sally Kirkman Astrology](http://www.sallykirkman.com)Want to know more about Leos?

We record the latest podcast on a narrow boat rocking gently back and forth on the canal sipping cups of tea, a fitting tribute to the Sun's move into Cancer, one of the water signs and lover of all things cosy and traditional.In our talk about Cancerians, we discuss their sensitivity, their talent at mimicry and how the reflective nature of their ruler, the Moon, draws them towards the artistic realm. They are the keepers of the past.The month ahead isn't geared up for push and shove or rushing in any direction. In fact, the astrological climate necessitates a change in pace. Slow down or life may step in to halt you in your tracks.That's not to say the next few weeks won't be without drama, thanks to a frustrated Mars and a new eclipse cycle. The influence of the past is a key theme in Cancer's birthday month.As always, we talk about what the big events over the next month mean for your individual star sign. There's something for everyone.Next month, we're donning our best hats as we head to Windsor to talk about the regal sign, as the Sun enters Leo. We do hope you'll join us.**Our Astrology Websites:** Christina Rodenbeck: [The Oxford Astrologer](https://www.oxfordastrologer.com)Sally Kirkman: [Sally Kirkman Astrology](http://www.sallykirkman.com)**Want to know more about Cancerians?** Click here to purchase your star sign guide: [http://www.sallykirkman.com/books/](http://www.sallykirkman.com/books/)Support the show Hosted on Acast.

With some pretty Italian footballers to watch in one direction, and a frighteningly muscled Russian strongman in the other, we recorded this month’s podcast in the beating heart of the metropolis — London’s busy Regent’s Park on a hot, sunny spring day. It seemed appropriate to soak up the atmosphere of a famously Gemini town while we talked to you about this month (rather lovely) ahead.Listen out for the local colour and the many distractions — so Gemini!Retrodiction: Sally spills the beans on Mars and Uranus from her Scorpio perspective.Sun Sign: Gemini is the sign of the month — of course. Christina is in the swim thanks to her Gemini Moon, and a certain fairytale young lady of her close acquaintance, and Sally explains why Geminis make the most intriguing friends.Don’t worry though, it’s not all about the Twins, every single Sun sign gets a mention from Aries to Pisces, and for everyone, this month has some unmissable gorgeous moments.**Our Astrology Websites:**Christina Rodenbeck: [The Oxford Astrologer](http://www.oxfordastrologer.com)Sally Kirkman: [](www.sallykirkman.com)[Sally Kirkman Astrology](http://www.sallykirkman.com)**Want to know more about Gemini?** Click here to purchase your star sign guide: [http://www.sallykirkman.com/books/](http://www.sallykirkman.com/books/)Support the show Hosted on Acast.

Lots to explore and debate and, as always, we talk about what the important events mean for the key star signs.[n.b.

Astrology Talk Podcast
We are Sally Kirkman www.sallykirkman.com & Christina Rodenbeck www.oxfordastrologer.com, two well-known astrologers chatting over a cup of strong coffee or tea about our favourite topic – the language of the stars. Once a month, we take astrology by the scruff of its neck and give it a good shake out.
Our starting point is the star sign of the month and the major astrological events coming up.
As the conversation develops, we connect the astrology to what’s going on in the world. Most importantly, we highlight the significance of the month’s celestial manoeuvrings so you can find out what's coming up for you. Our aim is to bridge the gap between Sun signs and the language of real life astrology.
Our new venture is Astrology Talk Investigate with astro-detectives Kirkman & Rodenbeck. Short sharp snippets using the power of astrology to find out more.
We’d love you to listen in so do make yourself a cuppa and join us.
