STAR/CHILD: Astrology for parenting — Kids & Family
STAR/CHILD: Astrology for parenting

The STAR/CHILD podcast is about all things astrology and parenting: weekly readings about the astrology of the week, tailored for life with kids, plus deep dives into all the ways astrology can help us examine family relationships: with our kids, co-parents, with our own parents and siblings, and all the people in our lives who feel like family. What does our own astrology say about how we show up to these relationships, and how does a kid’s astrology speak to what they need to feel safe, secure, and supported? How do we not mess up our kids like we maybe got messed up as kids? And how does the astrology of each day set us up to get through it all together? That’s what we’ll get into here.

Weekly Reading for Nov. 3 - 10, 2024: Where do we go from here? Nov 03, 2024

The past few weeks (and kinda this whole year) have calling out any illusions you’re clinging to about control — over your household, your kids, even yourself — while showing us exactly where the tension and imbalances are putting so much pressure that things can't help but break. And now, following last week's New Moon in Scorpio, and in the middle of this early-week Mars-Pluto opposition, this week is asking us the next big question: OK, but what now? Now that a bunch of underlying truths about what isn't working has come to the surface, where do we wanna go with that knowledge?

Weekly Reading for Nov. 10 - 17, 2024: Full Moon in Taurus Nov 09, 2024

With this week's Full Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus, we're getting real about what we care about, what it is we're doing, who we're doing it with, and how we make it sustainable, how we keep our feet planted firmly on the ground for ourselves, for our kids, for the work that we want to do in honor of the things that we care about with the resources that we have.

And then the big question mark within all of this: What needs to change and how are we maintaining our resilience within all of it? That would be the end of this week in a nutshell. And on the same day, Saturn stations direct and tells us to get to work.

Weekly Reading for Oct. 20 - 27, 2024: Scorpio season begins Oct 20, 2024

Scorpio season is here, baby. Time to confront our fear of death and how it feeds our need to control everything. Very casual.

We're going deep into the heart of power dynamics and how we might tend to control or overprotect even in ways we don't realize. It's a time to reflect on what we are holding on to, whether it's expectations or fears, secrets and anxieties, and how those things shape our relationship with our kids and the things that we are teaching them by how we ourselves deal with nothing short of life and death and the intense emotional landscape in between.

Weekly Reading for Oct. 13 - 20, 2024: Full Moon in Aries, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Sagittarius Oct 13, 2024

This week is bringing everything to the surface and giving us no option but to finally sort out just how much of ourselves we're willing to compromise to keep everyone else happy. And then Venus finally lightens up (she's been kind of a drag lately).

Weekly Reading for Oct. 6 - 13, 2024: Into the deep end with Chiron Oct 06, 2024

What exactly is Chiron and what is his damage? This is a good week to get into it since this week’s astrology is all about deep healing and uncomfortable truths. With Mercury making intense connections to both Jupiter and Chiron, conversations are likely to stir up old wounds, but Jupiter’s influence offers a chance for growth and understanding. Pluto stations direct in Capricorn, marking the final push in a long-term transformation, while Jupiter begins its retrograde in Gemini and we all start looking at how we can expand inward. It’s a week of facing what hurts, digging into what’s unresolved, and finding ways to move forward — even when it feels messy. Let’s get into it.

Weekly Reading for September 22 - 29, 2024: The week between eclipses Sep 23, 2024

It's the start of Libra season, Venus is moving into Scorpio, Mercury is moving into Libra, and the planets are giving us a lot of homework to do in this week between eclipses. Here's the rundown through all of it.

Weekly Reading for September 15 - 21, 2024: Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces Sep 15, 2024

We just want to say up front, this is an especially good week to listen to the audio reading. There’s so much going on and it’s an eclipse week. Every day of this week really acts like a continuous story — each day is a distinct and connected chapter. We talk through the eclipse in detail in the weekly audio reading, and we have super-sized daily audio readings each day on the Today screen that we hope you’ll listen to.

This week’s Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is probably not going to rip us apart, but like all eclipses, it’s a powerful catalyst for change, transformation, and evolution on both personal and collective levels. It’s about beginnings, endings, unexpected pivots, and generally just a period where the kinds of changes that burn more slowly the rest of the year suddenly happen at warp speed. Oh, and we’re basically not in control of any of it. We kinda just have to sit back and see where the current takes us.

Again, this week’s audio is crucial listening, but one thing to know about Tuesday’s eclipse is that it’s our first taste of the Virgo-Pisces axis. This Lunar Eclipse marks the beginning of eclipses occurring along the Virgo-Pisces axis, which will take about 2 years to complete. This is the opening act of a longer story. In the short term, it’s unfolding over the next few weeks; in the longer term, there’s a story unfolding in this part of your chart (and life) over the next two years.

Weekly Reading for Sept. 8 - 15, 2024: The sweetest day of the year? Sep 16, 2024

Well, we're playing catchup on a few past weeks episodes. Mercury retrograde really got us by the throat and we completely failed to upload 3 weekly readings to the podcast platforms. They were still in the app (you should listen there, if only to enjoy our cute illustrations each week, but really so you can read your personal reading for each week) but they didn't make it over here!

This week has obviously passed already, but if you're a nerd like us, you always want to go back and reference past weeks astrology from time to time, so for good measure, we're going to post these missing episodes from the past few weeks.

Weekly Reading for August 12 - 18, 2024: Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury conspire to annoy us Aug 11, 2024

Well, we warned you last week that this week would be considerably more frustrating, and it definitely is. We've got a Mars-Jupiter conjunction, a Mars-Saturn square, and that's seriously just the beginning. It's long, it's draining, and it's forcing us to slow down whether we want to (we won't) or not. Oh and then we have a Mercury cazimi square Uranus on Sunday, so truly who knows what the f*** is going to happen.

Weekly Reading August 5 - 11, 2023: Why Mercury Retrograde in Virgo is Low-Key So Useful For Parents Aug 04, 2024

This week, Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo, and then later this week makes a conjunction to Venus. Here's why this is actually (hear us out) good news for parents, whether we like it or not.

Weekly reading for June 24 - 30, 2024: Saturn Retrograde begins Jun 23, 2024

Here's your rundown of the week to come, including a deep dive into what Saturn retrograde wants parents to re-examine. There's a little bit of revisiting the emotional blueprints of our family life right now and looking at what deep structural repairs we might need to make to the ways in which we are providing emotional support to ourselves, to our kids. How do we respond to our kids' emotional needs? Are there old patterns or wounds that need revisiting in order to maintain and to build a healthier emotional environment for them? Over the coming months while Saturn is stationed retrograde, expect to do a bit of house cleaning and a bit of an audit when it comes to the load bearing structures of your life, when it comes to reviewing your commitments and shoring up your boundaries and getting a reality check about how you consistently honor the responsibilities that come with all the things that you intuitively know to be true for you and your kids

Weekly reading for June 17 - 23, 2024: Full Moon in Capricorn + Cancer season Jun 17, 2024

This week is about as much of a vibe shift as it gets: We have Venus, Mercury, and the Sun all moving from Gemini into Cancer (in that order), immediately followed by a Full Moon in Capricorn. On the heels of a Gemini season that wanted to run outside and play, Cancer season is a little more about turning to our inner selves, nurturing our foundations at home, and for parents, doubling down on all the wonderful Cancerian traits that are so intimately woven into the experience of caring for kids and cultivating a home for our families (both literal and emotional).

We're also talking about what the Capricorn/Cancer axis has to say about parenting. (It's a lot. Maybe everything.)

This week’s astrology promises both stops and starts, breakdowns and breakthroughs. That’s Gemini season, baby: sometimes erratic, always dynamic, and never boring. And all the action of the week feels designed to excavate the way we’re thinking and taking action in our lives and relationships, all leading up to a little ah-ha moment on Friday.

BONUS: Sunday's Daily Reading From The App Unlocked Jun 09, 2024

We don't call Saturn "Sky Daddy" for nothing. Today, we're publicly posting our daily reading from the app for two reasons: First, it's just a rough weekend of astrological weather out there and we want to talk about what it means for parents, and also we wanted to just show everyone what our daily audio readings in the app are like. This is what we do every day, alongside brief written readings that are specific to you and unique daily readings for each of your kids based on their astrology. This is what the audio part of that sounds like!

Weekly reading for June 3 - 9, 2024: New Moon in Gemini Jun 03, 2024

Gemini is extremely Gemini-ing this week. Here's what we're talking about in this episode:

Mon, June 3: Mercury enters Gemini
Tues, June 4: Venus cazimi in Gemini
Tues, June 4: Mercury in Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius
Tues, June 4: Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Gemini
Thurs, June 6: New Moon in Gemini
Sat, June 8: Venus in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces
Sun, June 9: Sun in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces
Sun, June 9: Mars enters Taurus

The weekly reading for May 27 - June 2, 2024 May 27, 2024

Why is the 2nd half of this episode so much better than the first half? Gemini season, baby — it took a minute to get focused. This week, we've got:

Mon, May 27: Mercury in Taurus sextiles Saturn in Pisces
Wed, May 29: Mars conjoins Chiron in Aries
Fri, May 31: Mercury conjoins Uranus in Taurus
Sun, June 2: Jupiter in Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius

Note from Jessica: "During that whole "your kid's Pluto sign is such a big deal" rant, I definitely didn't make it clear enough that it's not a huge signifier of their personality individually, but rather a major part of what defines them as a generation collectively. Or maybe that was clear! Tis the season to over-explain yourself!"

Full Moon in Sagittarius + Gemini parenting: Weekly reading for May 20th, 2024 May 20, 2024

We're talking about how Gemini season is a masterclass in all the things that make parenting so challenging — and all the skills that we need most to get through it. We'll also unpack in detail exactly why this week's Full Moon in Sagittarius is so extremely nice? This week is a total vibe shift in the year. If you've been kinda bored up until now, prepare for that to stop this week.

Full Moon in Sagittarius + the Jupiter/Venus conjunction starts around 13:00.

Weekly Reading for Oct. 27 - Nov. 3 2024: New Moon in Scorpio Oct 27, 2024

This week’s astrology is basically handing you a shovel and saying, "Hey, wanna dig up all the sh*t you’ve been avoiding?" Spoiler: you might not want to, but you’ll probably end up doing it anyway. Between Venus squaring off with Saturn, a New Moon in Scorpio, and Mars picking a fight with Pluto by Sunday, there’s no running from the deeper emotional truths lurking under the surface. This is the week where pretending everything’s fine isn’t gonna cut it — especially with your kids, co-parents, and your own internal monologue.
