Show notes
April and Jen gear up for an action-packed (expletive deleted) two weeks! The Sun moves into meticulous Virgo, marking the midpoint between eclipse seasons, while Mercury enters genteel Libra (and not a moment too soon). Double your Moonwatch pleasure with an(other) Aquarius Full Moon and the Gemini Last Quarter, and stand back as unpredictable Uranus turns retrograde. Also: Mercury and Mars initiate a new dance to Neptune’s dreamy tune, the Sun and Jupiter size each other up, and there are more trines than you can shake a stick at! Plus: our second annual Podathon, bossy podpets, and rocking out!
