The first part of this episode is a reflection on March 30 through April 5, 2026—a sacred window of time where the cosmos invites us into deep embodiment, relational awareness, and soulful recalibration. As we move through Aries season and toward the Libra Full Moon, this opening segment is meant to help you attune to the energetic landscape of the week ahead, grounding you in the planetary movements so you can consciously walk with them—rather than feel swept up by them. Think of it as a threshold moment: a chance to arrive, to listen, and to align your body, heart, and spirit with the rhythm of the sky. We cover:

• Venus in Taurus
• Juno in Aquarius
• White Moon Selena in Virgo
• Mars in Pisces

Then, in honor of the Libra Full Moon, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by magical astrologer Celeste Brooks for a rich and multidimensional conversation that begins with personal myth-making and unfolds into a deep exploration of her chart. Through the lens of Celeste's Taurus Sun, Aries Moon, and Cancer Rising, we trace a story of embodiment, courage, and homecoming, woven with pivotal life transitions, including her shift from a 25-year corporate career into full-time astrology. Together, we explore timing techniques like progressions, the awakening influence of Uranus in Taurus, and the importance of structure in astrological practice, grounding intuitive insight with disciplined study.

From there, the conversation opens into the wider astrological landscape of 2026, reflecting on the collective impact of Neptune’s ingress into Aries, the Saturn–Neptune conjunction, and the North Node’s passage through Pisces. Jeff and Celeste weave together advanced techniques, discuss asteroids like Juno, Ceres, and White Moon Selena, and share intuitive practices like Libra Full Moon channeling and tarot symbolism. The episode moves between the cosmic and the personal, inviting you into themes of truth-telling, spiritual compassion, and collective healing, while emphasizing the importance of grounding rituals and tending to the body as we navigate a rapidly shifting world.

These immersive readings can be created for your natal chart, solar return, or current transits, blending music and astrology into a deeply felt experience.

Alongside this, the podcast’s new weekly format offers a consistent space to stay in rhythm with the cosmos, supported by reflections, affirmations, and invitations to embody the astrology in your everyday life.

On this Pisces New Moon episode of Cosmic Cousins, we begin by arriving in the liminal space this lunation creates—a threshold between the dream that has carried us for over a decade and the new reality beginning to emerge. This is a moment to feel deeply, to notice the currents beneath the surface, and to honor both the surrender and the subtle stirrings of action that this closing cycle invites.

Then, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by Pisces Moon artist Rochelle Voyles. Returning to the podcast for the first time since 2017, we dive into Rochelle’s solo exhibition Unreliable Narrators that just opened at 81 Leonard Gallery in Tribeca. Through pieces like “Slithering Ruin” and “Defense and Entrapment,” we contemplate nonlinear time, archetypal storytelling, and the duality of distance, and how beauty invites us closer to truths that may otherwise feel unbearable.

Music becomes a co-conspirator in this process, with two songs from Pisces Moon artists Anna Olivia Eve and Lindsey Mills guiding emotional resonance and collective reflection. We reimagine collage as a spiritual technology (one that mirrors astrology, tarot, and memory itself) where meaning is not prescribed but discovered through feeling. In a closing “Mystical Meandering,” Rochelle journeys through a surreal Pisces Dreamscape, and receives a visit from a crab on the seashores, looks up through a telescope to cloudy skies, and receives ancestral guidance from the Six of Cups and an invocation of healing from past trauma.

We seal the episode with reflections on water as conduit, reminding us that to trust the dream, to honor the unseen, and to create from the depths is itself an act of healing, connection, and quiet revolution.
