This is episode 64 of The Astrology Podcast.

Unfortunately there was no video recording of this episode, but I recently had the audio re-edited and I'm uploading it to YouTube, since a lot of people are asking where to find it after it was mentioned in our recent series on the significations of the twelve houses.

For the full episode description see the podcast website:

We do not deal with the significations of the modern planets in this episode. See episode 67 on the podcast website for a treatment of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto:

  • I'm posting the audio of this old episode because a lot of people here on YouTube have been asking about it after it was mentioned in the recent episode on the significations of the houses. Sadly this episode was recorded back in 2016 before we started doing video, so it is just audio, but it was a great episode that really complements the ones we've done now on the signs of the zodiac and the houses.

    "Saturn rules the kind of wisdom that comes from being alone and cold in a cell" - me having the last 1/3 of my saturn return in quarantine
  • @melindeer
    at first i read the title as Seven Additional Planets and i got really discouraged about having to learn the significations of another seven lol
  • @CleaSelene
    1min in: Chris: "we'll have a 1h discussion on..." Me: double-checks podcast length - yupp, this will be awesome 😆
  • @translevence
    One of the first podcasts I heard from Chris Kelly and Austin. The combination of your knowledges is such a fertile ground. So nice to revisit this talk - thanks for posting w time signatures ….. and thanks for the combined decades of study between you all
  • Knowledge is power. Discernment is wisdom. Love this episode! Great combo.
  • @lzol2456
    This is the best breakdown and explanation of Jupiter out there. It's truly unique and enlightening. Brought me a much deeper awareness and understanding of my Jup in Sag and it made perfect sense. When I listened to others how they explained Jup, I felt something important was missing, but Austin Coppock just filled that hole with the brilliant examples and explanations. It's a gem. Love his Jup in Cancer and Gemini Moon, and luve ya all too.

    Thank you for uploading this! I had been one of those who was searching for it. Going to dig in right away. I appreciate you!
  • @jax8127
    austin’s points always blow me away!!! really insightful perspectives and unique examples
  • @myezecky7422
    Chris, as a fellow Scorp, I, too, resisted giving up Pluto as my king, but am exploring the eminence of Mars. 🤣
  • @tracy3677
    This 2 part series was amazing! I found it so interesting - the presenters were incredibly knowledgeable as well as very relatable & kept the material interesting with a depth & breadth of knowledge plus injections of humor that seemed perfectly timed. Thanks so much to Chris, Austin, & Kelley for investing the time & effort into this VALUABLE & Appreciated sharing of your knowledge & experience!!
  • Thank you for this ppl often mistake the meaning of Aquarius bc of Uranus. Aquarius is ruled by Saturn an air fixed sign a man pouring water symbolizing the loyal eclectic servant that benefits society for humanitarian purposes not a wacky rebellious weirdo like so many claim Aquarius to be like.
  • @rogerbob5594
    Thank you for sharing this on YouTube and your houses and signs podcast with Kelly and Austin. Great information.
  • @djrg7921
    would be interesting to explore Mars' function as an aspect of the immune system, immunity aggression, auto-immunity dynamics
  • Really enjoying this flashback to early episodes, I'm curious to see which ones get posted next!
  • In tarot card reading, you do pay attention to what is not included in the spread. For example if you have a spread with no cups, you would know that you are not dealing with a love or emotional situation/question. (contrary to the comment at appx 6:10).
  • @kaylee7518
    Wow - currently going through my Saturn return, and I’ve really started to grow a deep appreciation for it. This talk solidified it even more.
