Scorpio Season 2026
Scorpio season begins October 23! In this episode, we’ll explore the major transits of Scorpio season, including the Venus and Mercury retrogrades in Scorpio, two cazimis, and both planets stationing direct on the same day. We'll also talk about the Taurus Full Moon, Scorpio New Moon, the Mars–Jupiter conjunction in Leo, and what that might mean for us as we (finally!) start moving from reflection toward forward momentum.Subscribe on Substack and get access to the Venus Retrograde Field Notes: stefaniekateboucher.substack.comInterested in my Scorpio New Moon gathering?

Why Do Some Signs Have Two Planetary Rulers?
If you’ve been listening to recent episodes of the show, you’ve probably heard me refer to Mars and Pluto as co-rulers of Scorpio. And if you’re fairly new to astrology, this may have left you wondering … Why is Scorpio ruled by both Mars and Pluto? Don’t most signs have just one ruler?In this episode, we’re exploring the history behind traditional and modern planetary rulerships, how the discovery of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto changed astrology, and why astrologers have different approaches to planetary rulership.We’ll also look at the role of the outer planets in our natal charts versus the collective experience, and how you can work with both traditional and modern rulers when interpreting your own chart.Subscribe on Substack and get access to the Venus Retrograde Field Notes): stefaniekateboucher.substack.comMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/serenity.

Mars Opposite Pluto: Force vs. Power
Later this week, on the same day that Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio (October 3), Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, potentially bringing up some big, loud questions around power, control, stamina and determination. In this episode, we'll talk about what happens when Mars and Pluto are at odds, plus some of the ways it can show up in ordinary life. We’ll also look at Mercury’s role as the apex of a fixed T-square with Mars and Pluto, adding another layer around communication, information gathering, and (possibly) a need for certainty.Subscribe on Substack and get access to the Venus Retrograde Field Notes): stefaniekateboucher.substack.comFind out more about the Venus retrograde cycle and how it's connected to the upcoming New Moon in Libra at my next New Moon gathering, The New Moon and You.

Signs or Houses? A Deeper Look at the Lunar Nodes
Interested in my my September workshop The Moon & Your Nervous System? Or my next New Moon gathering? Learn more or register here: https://stan.store/stefaniekateboucherIn this episode, I respond to a listener's question about what matters more when interpreting the Lunar Nodes: signs or houses. The short answer is both, but we’ll look more closely at how the sign axis describes the underlying developmental story, while the house axis shows where that story tends to play out in your life. We’ll also talk about what happens when your nodes change houses when you switch house systems, true vs. mean nodes, and why the South Node isn’t necessarily something you’re supposed to abandon.Want more astrology from me?

Understanding the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces
The Pisces lunar eclipse arrives on August 28th, and with a tight square to Uranus, it could bring some unexpected changes. In this episode, we’ll look at the astrological “nuts and bolts” of this eclipse, including the Uranus square, its opposition to Mercury in Virgo, a supportive trine to Mars, and how to make sense of a “final” eclipse in this sign for years to come. Finally I’ll also walk through two real-life charts to show how the exact same series of eclipses can play out very differently and how you can begin identifying the story in your own chart.Want more astrology from me?
