No one: Chris Brennan: "Sure"

Chris has the perfect amount of give & take in a discussion. Honestly a goal of mine.

As a Gemini, i feel that rather than flipping opinions, i feel that I always need to be learning. The curious nature is a constant urgency. I may learn quickly but may also forget information quickly as well!

I very much appreciate Chris’s use and overall balancing energy of the word “sure”, Austin’s passive aggressive jokes on bs modern takes and poetic wording and Kelly’s adorable laugh and overall light and ability to make closing statements. Really great energy coming from all three and collabs beautifully!! So grateful for y’all and this channel

Basic Gemini, listening to the Gemini part while scrolling through the comments...

Mutable signs also represent the end of a season and preparation for the next. Gemini (end of spring prepares summer) Virgo (end of summer prepares fall) Sag (end of fall prepares winter) Pisces (end of winter prepares spring) changeable, adaptable, flexible.

These are the best zodiac sign videos there is on youtube, i love how the three of you work together, such great combined energy. Having a natal retrograde mercury, i find it hard for things to sink in straight away, i feel like my minds a sieve at times, i have to go over and over things repeatedly, but these videos have helped me more than any zodiac sign books i've read.

Taurus is incredibly artistic with animal quality, sensual, straight to the heart. I’m so tired of the references to plodding, stubborn, as if they’re slow witted.

As a Gemini, I have had multiple careers from being a flight attendant to a sales manager. So on point.

I’ve watched this and the house series so many times now as a jump off essential to my very new study of astrology. Thank you all so much for this gift.

Following the podcast for almost 1 year! I started out with close to 0 understanding of astrology and it's language. The seeds - directions - insights - and knowledge I've gained from this podcast and collab goes out to you three! Cheers and much appreciation!! - Marhgo

Gemini splits in two so it has someone to talk to. I feel very called out here, Austin!! Any other Geminis here really enjoy their own company??

I love this! Thank you. I'm a Virgo, and do experience "paralysis by analysis". A great, helpful mantra for me, that I learned from Bob Proctor, is "Start before you're ready."

The thoughts on Cancer are really interesting, and I like how one of them mentions that crabs will move in a zig zag or indirect route to get where it's going and I thought about water and how it doesn't always move in a straight line but it always takes the path of last resistance. It shows us that these aren't always the same thing, many times a straight line is the path of *most* resistance, and much of eastern philosophy centers on this idea. If a straight line is through a brick wall, Aries will go straight through it, but Cancer wil flow around it, and encompass it, and have conserved all of its energy in the process.

Geminis see duality (as opposed to Libras who see balance). We see the male and female aspects of things, which is why we can come across as duplicitous. This male-female duality is the source of the androgynous quality of Gemini (in addition to the androgynous quality of Mercury). Prince, for example, was a Gemini with Scorpio rising, and he said on Oprah once that he had two people inside of him- one male and one female.To me that is the essence of Gemini- this awareness of both sides of the coin at all times.

"Over to you, Dark Angel" I love Kelly's alternative transitions haha

"Gemini- "hack everything"" yep, applies to me. I'll just start trying to do stuff without even reading one page of the manual lol

I was hooked at the introduction of Aries, "the cardinal fire sign" and I've binge-watching since. Didn't expect to go this video in one sitting. You guys are so clear, I enjoyed sitting through... now for part 2.

Aries: 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds Taurus: 0 to 60 ....... eventually (I love my Taurus hubby)

Yes, Virgo are very aware of their positive and negative aspects and they work very hard to become a better version of themselves. Cheers to all Virgo people 🥂💃🏾

Virgo sun here and I never understood why I'm so "good" in procrastination. This podcast help me understand it so much. And it's soooo true!!! I never related to a video this much lol

The three of you work so beautifully together! Ive been interested in astrology for years but now it’s all starting to come together for me. Looking forward to more. Much appreciation.

I really like it when Austin contributes. He seems to have such interesting takes on things and has a way of phrasing things to make them interesting. Great production

The segment about Leo was so accurate - to add to what you said, Madonna a person with Sun and Venus in Leo wrote the song "Spotlight" where she sings "everybody is a star, everyone is special in their own way..." which are almost the exact words you used for Leo! And many of her songs have this theme of how we are all special and how to shine... Also, Austin, thanks so much for putting in question the constant use of gender words to describe planets and signs in astrology - so refreshing and I think we should all start using the words Ying and Yang rather than feminine and masculine to take the emphasis off physical gender... language is so important to thinking!

It's so awesome how open the three of you are about your placements, and then to watch them active in the conversation...The explanations are amazing, but getting to watch them play against each other in the conversation gives them life...Love it!

From what I understand re: Virgo, the glyph MP stands for "materia prima" which means raw material, not necessarily about chastity but definitely about unaltered or purity

My Aries Dad, when asked his secret to winning gin rummy tournament, replied, "He who hesitates is lost."

I appreciate so much that Austin is a cancer rising (as am I) because he will often talk about a planet in a particular house and that helps me understand it for me so much more. Love, love, love these videos! I feel like I’m home watching them. I don’t know if that makes sense but I do. ✨

With ever new podcast you three do together, the chemistry and flow gets better!! waiting for part 2!

Cancer Sun and Moon here. Great analysis. I'm very protective of the vulnerable and defenceless- something swells within me when I see them being abused and I can't allow them to go unprotected. This extends all the way down to very mundane situations such as someone being left out of a conversation- I will notice it and go out of my way to include them. I'm generally private and emotionally (and physically) guarded but I open up when I see sincerity or vulnerability in others- I'm responsive to that and when openness is given I reflect it back- and I enjoy those deeper conversations rather than surface chatter. I work as a therapist so it's useful that we Cancerians excel in intuiting others emotions (the crabs psychic antenna) and helping them process them; which is essentially what nurture is- you're taking something that's in a vulnerable state and creating (cardinal) an environment that facilitates their growth back to strength. I like seeing people thrive and feel emotionally nourished after our sessions. I love all forms of water, especially the ocean and I've always had a profound love for the Moon and the night. On the downside I'm definitely moody and it's usually a consequence of me being in a situation or place that feels uncomfortable or unsafe to me (emotionally). As Austin pointed out those parameters can shift though. I can also take things too personally, which is something I'm working on. One thing that wasn't mentioned in the video was the nostalgia and the artistic aspect of that. A lot of Cancer artists and musicians have a sort of nostalgic, emotionally evocative, "makes you reminisce" type feel to them. Lana del Rey and Adele (Cancer Rising) are good examples. Cardinal water gets you in touch with your emotions and internal world. Anyway really great video!

■ Aries : ▪︎ Cardinal Fire Sign ▪︎ How do you ignite fire ? One needs friction or resistance to get that spark or ignition. ▪︎ Fire of change. Pedal to the metal sign. ▪︎ Spontaneity ▪︎ Proving what he is capable of, challenge. ■ The description of cancer is mind blowing.

my favorite part of the whole video is when Austin says "i can do elements in a minute" and then proceeds to perfectly summaries the elements in almost one minute exactly😮

I'm in shock! I don't see Taurus as selfish and snobish at all...this is so cliche. The closest people of my life have several Taurus placements. They are extremely giving and nurturing (Taurus is the exaltation of the Moon!) and very down to earth. Refinement and good taste shouldn't be confused with a snobbish attitude. But some people just don't appreciate these qualities, depending on their own charts and preferences. Bad qualities would be: strong tendency towards inertia and stagnation...and also, despite being consistent on what they like doing, they don't have discipline on doing things that might be important for them, but that they don't enjoy doing. They only do what they want.

For being a Scorpio Chris, you have the most sensitive and kind voice. I am Scorpio but with Mercury in Sagittarius and i just sort of shoot it out there :)

Excellent production!!! Such a pleasure to listen to experienced astrologers analyze the signs thoroughly. No matter how much experience one has, listening to the familiar terms in a deep conversation is a warming feeling. Well done!

I cannot even begin to explain how AMAZING listening to this has been, I almost felt like I was part of the whole conversation and Iearned so much. Thank you so much for this

This was a BRILLIANTLY beautiful lesson. I've been listening to The Astrology Podcast for a bit now and recently decided to go through and make a list of all of the lecture/educational episodes to take in as a semi-school type vibe (♍︎ stellium here😉). I absolutely love the three of you teaching together in this way! It was so fantastically comprehensive. Thank you all for your massive contributions to the Astro world!!!!

I really love this channel! The three of you have great chemistry and it's always packed with good information.

I love listening to podcasts of astrology to gain a deeper understanding of the signs, and to spread the more in depth information towards the signs to my friends. I also am using this to analyze my own placements in my chart to really understand what they mean. I’m thinking of becoming an astrologist, but I’m not 100% sure.

I had my first cancerian figure experience via my uncle who was a sun in cancer, he was very wounded in early life but possessed extremely caring qualities he would buy me multiples of one gift or treat. He lost his mother at an early age and was raised by his sister...and he kept looking for motherly figures so he ended up marrying someone much much older than him who was an alcoholic and absent mother to her own children. Ironically they had two kids one was a cancer boy. My uncle asked us to bury him In his mothers /my grandmothers grave if he died. He married his 2nd wife and at some point they had an argument where she mocked him for saying he'd kill himself. That night he ended up shooting himself in the heart...and we had my grandmothers grave opened up and buried him there. After that we all felt a sort of peace like he finally was where he needed to be, with his mother. He was only 33. I also noticed many sun in cancers kill themselves, Robin William and Anthony Bourdain are some examples. It always comes as a shock because they are so nurturing.

First time coming across Austin and he really added a lot to this episode. He gave me much deeper understanding of the signs with his word choice and examples. ..and I have watched a ton of astrological videos. Thank you!

Thank you so very much for this episode, this is exactly what I was waiting for.

As a virgo (sun) I can say totally spot on and thank you for mentioning it: gift - curse,procrastination as not a lack of willingness and Saturn type elements in virgo 🙏 😊

Came across this channel just by chance and absolutely love it! I have learned so much from you guys. It has helped me to understand my friends on so many different levels, that when they come to me with situations or dilemmas it gives me good ground to really help listen and help them sort it out. Learning rising signs also is a game changer too, I have finally realized why my husband is so quirky, but also why we work so well together and as a libra I adore him. Thank you lovely people for your podcast, I love love love it.💕💕💕

This really makes me happy! You guys are absolute masters and communicate so clearly and love all your takes on things!

Just wanted to say thank you so much for putting together this podcast. This is so helpful for beginners like me who just want to learn the basics without having the stress to pay a fee or be charged to go into a course just to know basics :) This was so interesting and detailed !

wow that's so true !!! about leo! I am leo rising and I always am so prideful of myself but also want others to feel prideful about themselves like we are ALL PROUD

I love how in this first half you are all very energetic and vibrant and in the second half, there is this sense of tiredness and heaviness because of maybe the heavier nature of the fall/winter signs. Both episodes are fantastic, but you did all of the spring, summer signs in this episode and fall winter signs in the other episode and the whole vibe of spring/summer vs fall/winter comes through in your subtle differences in energy. I know there was debate about what order to do them in. Hearing both episodes, I see now how it could be considered more balanced to start with cancer/middle of summer/summer solstice. Then you would get to talk about cancer Leo and virgo libra Scorpio and sag in one and cap aqua Pisces aries taurus and gemini in another.

... always had difficulties connecting with fairly good portion of the first half Zodiac signs... and listening to your descriptions, clarifications, and explanations inspired me to truly Love and Appreciate each and every one of those signs, both as separately unique tendencies and as beautifully interlocking key-points of a larger unfolding sequence... 💜💜💜

I love all three of you together! Thank you for making these videos...so much insight.

Stunning collaboration. Very grateful for all your time x3.

Sun in Virgo here going crazy figuring out Astrology. OMG you guys are awesome! i love love love this video. been watching other vids but this has been the most comprehensive that i've watched. this is such a valuable knowledge-filled vid. so thankful to you three. 😍

"Self-actualization" vs. "World-optimization" phrasing from Austin (in contrasting Leo & Virgo) was really helpful and resonated with me. I have prominent placements of both and definitely feel the stretch/tension of wanting to focus on both of these objectives.

2:38:50 One of my favorite authors once worked half a day to choose the right place for a comma. Virgo, ofcourse.

Thank you for this episode it was great for drilling the sign meanings further into my memory banks, you are all so generous sharing your knowledge

This is a great discussion of the signs. I've been trying to get astrology for decades and this is helping me more than anything I've seen to really understand and pull this together. The emphasis on how the elements, modalities and polarities work along with examples is super helpful. Thanks for this!

Love Kelly's lively energy 💛 So nice to see the dream team again

Lmao "Virgo is already very aware of the negative things about themselves we don't need to point it out." So true 🤣🤣🤣 I've already thought of like 5 things

This is so interesting... Thank you so much... the three of you bounce of each so well with a great varied balance 🙏🏻👍🙏🏻

I just started following your channel… I’ve been trying to study astrology more because I’m very fascinated… I’ve learned so much in the last couple of years, but still confused in many areas… watching your podcasts totally flipped my switch and I have such a deeper understanding of it all… it’s like someone turned on the light and the puzzle was all put together….. 🙏❤️

Mars in Aries here, love the explanation of Aries. I love Aries ppl! Update: Omg the fighting story about being in the pocket that’s so true. I’m also a Scorpio rising, mercury in Scorpio. And growing up in the inner city unfortunately fighting was normalized. Get down or lay down was the motto. 😅 sad but real. ❤

Awesome description of Aries. I’m a libra rising with Saturn on my ascendant and I’ve always been drawn or attracted to fire signs but in the end their vitality and charm fizzles out pretty quickly because of their brash, selfish, inconsistent ways. This was too funny to hear.

This is such an abundant package of knowledge. Thank you all so much!

This was beautiful. I love all the analysis and analogies

Hey,I’m loving your videos and podcasts,keep up the great job!🖤

I love the absolute Taurus compliment I get from my 4 year old ♉☀️,♊🌑,♍↗️.... "Mommy, your the best cooker" 😂

I am a Leo sun, Taurus moon, Capricorn rising, and my Venus is Virgo. However, I don’t think I better than anyone. I think me coming from a difficult childhood and having so many challenges in life really humble me.

Taurus is also mid-spring, femenine, Venus ruled, sensual due to earth and its beauty. The blossoms in spring. Taurus people are usually sensual and attractive.

This conversation is amazing, educational, and fascinating. Thank you all!

Austin provides the best explanation of retrograde Mars in Aries I've ever heard! Thank you

Absolutely loved this! You guys are so great at what you do 💕

This is so good. Much appreciation to you three 😊🙏

this is the first episode of this podcast i watched. then i went back and listened to #1-174 and now i’m back here again 😁

My sister is an Aries rising with a Leo Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter (and then she has a Pisces Mars! ) and this video has helped me understand her sooooooooo much better thank you! I took so many notes on Leo and talked to her for hours hahah

Thank you all so much for this material!!! Excellent job!!!

What a find! Love your guy's channel and podcasts so much!

Chris, this was amazing btw! And I'm so glad you brought up the "corrective element" as you move from one sign to the next. I think about this All the Time!!! I think there's definitely something there that is intentional and as I've spent time with the progression between signs, I think it also boils down into how masculine completes/corrects feminine AND feminine completes/corrects masculine. The two are woven together in the cycle itself where the Universe is "setting us up for success" so to speak like it's giving us the best possible chance for remaining balanced within ourselves as we make our laps around the Sun. Depending on each individual's mutability, we truly can bring to life each part of ourselves as the Sun moves through each sign. The masculine and the feminine and how we must balance both within ourselves to find true "Health" is soooooooo fascinating and I feel like the Sun's course is naturally breeding balance aka Health. Thank you thank you thank you for your channel and your work and the literal ABUNDANCE of free High Quality content you have provided here. I feel like discovering your channel is literally hitting the jackpot. So, I guess what I'm getting at is You Are A Jackpot. Much Love! ~Carly PS - to your question about "Who are the front-Virgo's when they're not in the supportive role?" Have you ever heard of Bo Burnham (comedian/sketch comic)? He's a comedian with a Virgo Moon, Midheaven, and Mercury all within a few degrees of each other. He also happens to have a Leo South Node which I'm sure pushes him more to the stage but his comedy is so detailed and intelligent. Thank you again for your content!

I love this friend/colleague group! Thank you for bringing Astrology to us in such an enjoyable way.

Brilliant! Thank you all so much for your time. Much appreciated.

This was awesome. Can’t wait for the second half. Thanks for putting all of this together Chris. And thanks to Austin and Kelly as well. One suggestion: what are your thoughts on all of you doing an episode (or series) on the planets through the signs? And/or planets through the houses? Or signs through the houses. Would love to get all of your opinions on different placements; that would produce fascinating perspectives. Thanks again for all that you do!

This is the best sign content. So worth the time.

This podcast and your book work really well together. I feel.that information is easier to get my head around when you combine the literature with your discussions. Thank you 😊

Thank you guys appreciate the time for sharing your knowledge:) much love and light xoxo

Love this! I am Cancer sun, moon, rising venus and north node. Loved your explanations of my stellium💞

Thank you so much for this thorough and engaging offering. I watched both clips and found them both interesting and illuminating.

Awesome stuff Chris. Love your channel!

I am eXXXtra ADD - hearing this gives me comfort bcus it makes me understand myself so much more. I am so scattered and I can shift in perspectives in nano seconds. I LOVE debates and conversations.

Wow this is amazing!! I have an understanding of astrology but feel I have a much advanced understanding of the signs now, if I saw just this when I was starting out it would help so much. I love all 3 of you combined and what you each bring. Austin love how you explain things so easily quickly, and your humour, it didn't surprise me you are a Mercury Aries. Kelly love the way you explain astrology in a way which is easy to pick up, you are very clear and have a healing soothing tone. Your knowledge is amazing. Chris, love how you are a deep thinker, and look at the information from all angles getting clarity. You speak fir the viewer. I thought the same about the signs, how there is something from the sign above, or the sign after. Great stuff.

This video and part 2 have become my go to sign sources I love these discussion formats

I am so glad I found this video starting out on my journey. Easy to understand and balanced info. Thank y’all!

Stages of Life: ARIES (the infant) TAURUS (the baby) GEMINI (the child) CANCER (the adolescent) LEO (the teenager) VIRGO (the adult) LIBRA (marriage/union with another) SCORPIO (sex/regeneration) SAG (understanding/wisdom) CAPRICORN (reputation/public life) AQUARIUS (knowledge/uniqueness) PISCES (faith/relationship with God)

Love this trio; their personalities mesh so well ❤️

I love the description of cancer. All you mention I had to acknowledge, learn, so to conciously allow in my life. I missed it in my childhood. But love it ❤ (Maybe it makes sense with NN in cancer 4th house)

A Leo here haha I loved the part about Leo haha Thank You! 😁😁🤣

WOW!!!!! THANK YOU, ALL,... for this VERY INSIGHTFUL, DETAILED, thoughtful, look, into these "signs".... I marveled, as I listened, and pondered some people's personalities, who were characteristic of their "sign's attributes"... Amazing!!!

Thank you for providing all this I formation for free!! So grateful 🙏🙏.

the biggest thankyou for your videos chris! enjoying watching them! 😸

Could you please do an equivalent show on the house meanings? There's so much variation in the meanings ascribed by different people. I listened to your 2014 podcast on the topic but you didn't run through all the specific meanings you find useful in that, or ones that you've come across empirically. It was mainly about the fact that there isn't a consistently good system or conceptual foundation for any of them, which left me wondering. Thanks for the great work.

Love your show! Was just watching the Leo segment, and thought it was interesting that you all mentioned the sun’s association with the right eye and the moon with the left. In Hatha Yoga, the right side of the body is the masculine side, and the left side is the feminine side. Also interesting that the right side of the brain (the emotional/feminine side) controls the left side of the body; and the left side of the brain (the logical/masculine side) controls the right side of the body. And I think it “crosses wires” at the ocular nerve. Love your show - I’m learning a lot!
