Episode 78 of the podcast features a discussion about the astrological outlook for June of 2016, with astrologers Kelley Surtees and Austin Coppock.

This month features the second of two exact Saturn-Neptune squares, transiting Mars stationing direct at 23 Scorpio, a mutable grand cross, and more.

I also highlighted some auspicious dates for beginning different types of ventures and undertakings, using the principles of electional astrology.

We begin the show with some remarks about the recent Mercury retrograde period that just ended, then we did the drawing for this month’s prize giveaway for patrons of the show, and after that we jumped into talking about the major planetary alignments for next month.

Next month we are doing our first question and answer show, so if you have any questions please email them to Chris at astrologue@gmail.com.

As always, the cover art for this episode is from the 2016 PlanetWatcher Astrology Calendar.

Below you will find the show notes, followed by links to download or stream the recording of our discussion.

Giveaway Drawing for May

At the beginning of this episode we did the drawing and announced the winners of our first monthly giveaway for patrons of the podcast. This is part of a new plan to reach our next funding goal on Patreon, in order to improve the audio of interviews on the show by sending guests high quality microphones and headphones.

This is one of the new benefits for patrons on the $5 and $10 tiers, as explained in this post about the first giveaway on the podcast blog.

$5 Tier Drawings

The first prize for the $5 tier was a copy of Kelly Surtees e-book Saturn in Sagittarius: Focus Your Fire. The winner was listener Kerian Nox. The second prize was a copy of Ben Dykes’ new lecture titled Two Special Configurations: Aversion and Decimation. The winner was listener Amanda Wiant. The third prize was a copy of Demetra George’s lecture titled Integrating Traditional and Modern Methods. The winner was listener Kay Alexander.

$10 Tier Drawing

The grand prize this month for patrons on the $10 tier is a full 12 lecture conference pass to Breaking Down the Borders 4, hosted by the International Academy of Astrology. This is an online conference that will take place November 18–20, 2016, with over 48 speakers from around the world presenting lectures through an innovative live webinar format.

The winner of the drawing was listener Christine Stone!
