Somatic Movement Meditation: Embodying Kate Bush’s Birth Chart Aug 14, 2025

Welcome to a brand-new series here on the Cosmic Cousins Podcast: Astro Somatix, a practice that bridges astrology and embodiment, bringing the wisdom of the stars down into the body through mindful, accessible movement.

Each Somatic Movement episode, I’ll guide you through a famous person’s birth chart or the current astrological weather, not just with words, but through movement, breath, energy work, and somatic imagery, so astrology becomes more than an idea you think about. It becomes something you feel in your bones, your breath, and your heart.

In this episode, we honor the iconic and otherworldly Kate Bush. You’ll journey through the entirety of her birth chart, exploring her planetary placements while being gently guided into movement. This is intended as a movement meditation, an invitation to bring this cosmic practice into your body through love, presence, and joyful motion.

If you’d like your own personalizedAstro Somatix Birth Chart Recording — a 20–30 minute somatic movement video crafted specifically for your unique birth chart, you can order one through my website at cosmiccousins.com/astrosomatix
If you'd like to watch the video of this, you can tune in on YouTube.

Leo New Moon w/ Lindsay Mack! Jul 24, 2025

In this Leo New Moon offering, I guide us through a grounding meditation for embodied health, tending to the heart, spine, and solar center of the body, all ruled by Leo. From this rooted place, we explore the potent cosmic currents surrounding this lunation: Mercury Retrograde invites deep reflection on self-expression and truth-telling, while Pluto in opposition to the New Moon stirs transformation through the mirror of relationships and power dynamics. We also attune to the slow-burning Saturn–Neptune conjunction, a long-term transit dissolving illusions while building new spiritual and creative structures. Together, we anchor into the present moment and reclaim the radiant courage to be fully, unapologetically ourselves.

Check out the new Cosmic Cousins Membership!!

Leo New Moon Ritual: Turn the volume up high and watch the music video for “Greatest Love of All” by Leo icon Whitney Houston. Leo lyrics “I believe the children are our future,” “I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows,” and “learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.” Let these words guide you home to your heart, your power, and your light.
Then we are joined by beloved tarot teacher and soul sibling Lindsay Mack. Together, we explore the shift from Cancer’s emotional depths into Leo’s playful warmth, reflecting on how comfort, creativity, and chosen family show up through astrology and tarot. Lindsay opens up about her journey as a parent with a Leo Moon, recent health challenges, and the healing magic of ritual, morning sunshine chill time, and yes, haircuts.
Our conversation also offers a deep dive into Lindsay’s forthcoming Soul Tarot Deck and book (publishing May 19, 2026), sharing behind-the-scenes insight into the creation process. Tarot archetypes like Strength, Queen of Wands, and the Sun are illuminated through a Leo lens, alongside collective themes from the Hermit Year and upcoming Pluto-in-Aquarius transits.

And finally, listeners are invited into joyful reflection, playful ritual, and pop-culture celebration, with film picks like What’s Up, Doc? and The Secret of NIMH, to honor Leo’s vibrant call to be seen, loved, and self-expressed. The episode closes with the heartfelt Leo affirmation: “You are enough as you are.”

Mercury Retrograde in Leo + the Strength card in the Tarot Jul 18, 2025

This episode is dedicated to Mercury Retrograde in Leo.
As Mercury Retrogrades through Leo, we’re invited to speak, listen, and reflect from the center of the heart, and from the gut. Mercury governs communication, thought, perception. Leo, ruled by the Sun, brings boldness, heat, drama, and the tender ferocity of the inner lion.

Together, they guide us into the territory of the Strength card in the Tarot, which is ruled by Leo. This card, often misunderstood as brute force or simple resilience, actually teaches us about compassionate power, embodied courage, and the holy act of taming our wild inner voices, not through control, but through intimacy.

Cancer New Moon – "Body As Home" – Conversation w/ Artist Barry Lee Jun 26, 2025

Cancer New Moon – Body As Home (feat. Barry Lee)

This Cancer New Moon episode is arriving a day late. I spent the New Moon in the hospital. I’m okay now, just in some pain and moving slowly, so thank you for your patience. In true Cancerian fashion, I was supported by not one but two Cancer Rising angels who showed up with rides, groceries, and medicine. Cancers to the rescue!

This episode is a soft landing space for the Cancer New Moon. We explore the themes of

nurturing,
rest, and
emotional safety,

and I offer reflections on Cancer’s connection to the

body, spiritual care, and
feeling at home within ourselves.
especially with Jupiter now in Cancer, expanding our capacity for intuitive connection and healing over the next year.

I also share about my new offering, “7 Sisters” a 7-week journey beginning in July, rooted in the Pleiades, spiritual hygiene, and grief processing.

Then, I’m joined by the deeply intuitive and visionary Barry Lee, a Cancer Moon artist, illustrator, and writer based in Atlanta, Georgia. Barry is the creator of the Gentle Reminders Oracle Deck and Guided Journal, and their work centers emotional self-care, softness, and storytelling.

In our conversation, we explore:

The 6 of Cups & the power of nostalgia
A non-hierarchical approach to intuitive tools
Life as a Disabled artist with Nager’s Syndrome
Moving through spiritual bypassing
And learning to sit with the discomfort of the body

This one’s tender, honest, and full of heart. Thanks for being here.

Astrology of June 2025 – Upcoming Transits Jun 02, 2025

As a portmanteau of both of their offerings, Taylor Ursula of 'That's So Pisces' is joining forces with Jeff Hinshaw of 'Cosmic Cousins' to bring to you THAT'S SO COSMIC – a new monthly series, dropped at the start of each month, that offers you cosmic insights into the transits of the month ahead through a queer, non-binary, gender-expansive lens.

Each time we gather, we pull a tarot card for the month ahead, look at the sabian symbol of an outer planet, take a question from a curious caller, and listen to a song by a queer artist.
On this week's episode, we breakdown the month of June 2025, listen to one's of Taylor's songs titled 'Swingtown Blues' and celebrate the start of this new collaboration.

Join me in New York City!

If you are in the New York City area, honor Jupiter entering Cancer with me on Sunday, June 15 at Maha Rose – through celebration + ceremony, we will connect to the element of water, build a collective altar, and connect to Cancerian themes like home, family and belonging.

One of the ways I do this is through connection to the plant world. So I will be bringing with me some plant allies from the Mojave desert to aid us in our ritual. Hope to see you soon.

In addition, I'm also offering Deep Dive Astrology Readings and Tarot Soul Journeys. These sessions are available online, so you can join from anywhere in the world.

Welcoming Pride Month

As we welcome the start of Pride Season, I’m honored to re-share something close to my heart. Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to publish an article in The Evolving Astrologer Magazine. The piece is titled “Zodiac Queers: Celebrating 12 LGBTQ+ Historical Figures through the Zodiac” — and it remains one of my favorite writings.

This article uplifts the stories of 12 LGBTQ+ ancestors — each aligned with a zodiac sign. If you missed it last year, or if you’d like to revisit it with fresh eyes, you can read the full article on my substack or through virtual PDF format for free by clicking this link. My article is on page 92. 🌈

Gemini New Moon – Gemini as the Psychopomp – Queer Musician Heirloome May 26, 2025

In this Gemini New Moon episode of Cosmic Cousins, we explore Gemini's dual nature as both playful messenger and sacred psychopomp, guiding us through themes of contradiction, transformation, and communication. Jeff weaves in mythic stories of Castor and Pollux and the grief of the Seven Sisters. We’re invited to embrace inner contradictions through journaling, movement, and curiosity, grounding into uncertainty and reaching toward truth. The episode also reflects on Gemini Ryan Heffington’s Self Portrait Photo Exhibition EMOTIONALANDSCAPES, and features a heartfelt conversation with musician Heirloome (Lilith O’Rourke) about their grief album Cycles, sibling loss, and art as a bridge between worlds, alongside tarot reflections on the Lovers, the Devil and High Priestess cards, and invitations for ritual, gathering, and deeper astrological mentorship.
On this podcast episode, other queer artists mentioned include:

If you are in the High Dez, this Thursday night at Milk Thistle in Yucca Valley, we are gathering through ritual in honor of Gemini.
