My all-time favourite movie is Tremors and I was thrilled to talk about it on the Soapbox podcast. This was a wonderful, rambling conversation about the movie itself, the astrology of why it bombed at the box office, movie magic, real magic, conspiracy, “the floor is lava” and more. Check it out and tell me if you agree or think I’m crazy.
Does astrology have a scarcity mindset problem? Mel recently went on the Dragonstone Podcast to talk about this issue with fellow astrologers Mat Dragonstone and Zamboni Funk.

We’ll start by taking a look at the major astrological transits of the decade to gain a broader perspective, then zoom in on some of the specifics of 2025 itself.
Annual profections are a simple yet powerful timing technique in traditional natal astrology. Using this technique, you can identify the specific planets and houses that will be activated for any given year, and therefore learn which themes and events might manifest during that time period.
