002 - Got Stress? Moon, Mercury, Mars: Mapping Emotions Through Astrology

In episode 002 of CombustAstrology, I answer a listener question (QOTE) from Helen about how to manage stress through astrology. We explore how planetary placements—especially the Moon, Mercury, and Mars—can reveal emotional patterns, communication styles, and how we process anger.

We dive deep into Jungian and Liz Greene’s approach to the collective unconscious, tracing how psychological astrology helps decode deeper drives and hidden emotional material. Then we explore emotional intelligence through the lens of the DSM-5, early childhood, and how action and expression are shaped by planetary symbolism.

From how kids express emotion to how adults suppress it—this episode connects the dots between the stars and the psyche.

A psychological deep-dive for the astro-curious and emotionally aware.
