Sage of Stars
Welcome to Sage of Stars, an astrology podcast about self-understanding, personal growth, and learning how to work consciously with life's experiences.
Astrology is more than prediction. It is a language of meaning, a tool for self-discovery, and a framework for understanding the patterns that shape our lives. Each episode explores astrology not as something that happens to us, but as something that can help us better understand ourselves and make more intentional choices.
Whether you're new to astrology or have studied it for years, you'll find practical insights designed to help you recognize recurring themes, navigate challenges, and make the most of your opportunities for growth. Through discussions of natal charts, planetary cycles, houses, signs, and current astrological influences, we'll explore how astrology can become a powerful tool for self-awareness and transformation.
If you're looking to learn astrology, deepen your understanding of your birth chart, or discover how astrology can support real personal development, this podcast is for you. It is also a companion for students seeking astrology education and astrology classes that emphasize understanding, application, and meaningful change.
Because astrology isn't just about knowing what's coming next.
It's about understanding who you are, why you do what you do, and what you choose to do with that knowledge.

Today is an exciting day. Today is a day when we have a relatively rare, but certainly not as rare as the basket formation called a grand trine. It's when three planets are in the same element. In this case, it's going to be fire. We have a grand trine in fire today. And they all line up, three planets line up to form a triangle around the earth. It's very harmonious. It's a very easy, easily worked with and beautifully well integrated energy. So we have an opportunity today, and I think for the whole weekend, to integrate fire into our lives. The moon is in Sagittarius, the sun is in Leo, and Neptune is in Aries. They're all at low degrees, so they are actually forming a complete grand trine in fire. And the flow of fire energy is going to be beautiful. There's going to be confidence, initiative, meaning, adventure, all of the things that are represented by the fire signs that we would be able to harness right now and bring into our lives. As I said, Grand Trine occurs when three planets form a triangle. So they're all at 120 degrees away from each other because three times 120 is 360. That's the circle around the earth. And all the signs are in the same element. So instead of there being any competition or conflict, they're cooperating. There's harmony always between signs of the same element. It's like having close friends agree on what they're doing, where they're going. No one has to fight for direction. Everything simply moves. This doesn't mean that life suddenly becomes easy. It means that one particular quality, fire, can move more naturally through our experience. So what does fire want, or what does fire mean? Fire is generally the element of initiation, forward movement, action, creativity, inspiration, and passion. It wants to experience, it wants to initiate, it wants to bring its love of life, its zest for an enjoyment of actually living to the creative experience so that it can explore and believe that something is actually wonderful, that life is beautiful, that life is wonderful, and that wonderful things are possible. So with Sun and Leo, we have an expression of confidence and authenticity, that creativity is not only reserved for artists, that every life is a creative act, and that we're all capable of participating in the creative process. Moon and Sagittarius lifts up the emotional experience. We become optimistic, we become positive, we become adventurous, we're willing to look beyond the problems of our lives into the possibilities of where we could be headed. And Neptune and Aries, I actually think that this one is the um the strongest link. It's adding an inspiration to the action. Not if, you know, what did I actually do? What if I actually do this? We could we could say to ourselves, what if I actually did take this action? Because it encourages us to allow our ideals to peek into the movement, that real movement, and have some faith, some belief that something good could come from it. Together, the three signs speak the same elemental language, and they're encouraging us to trust. Trust your enthusiasm, believe in your ideas, and move towards what genuinely excites you. You could use this energy to sign up for a class, write that first page, take a trip, start a project, reach out and put in a job application. Say yes to opportunities that feel exciting to you, even if they feel uncertain. Fire does not give us the map. It gives us the courage to take the next step. So as we move through the day and as we move through the weekend, what energy is naturally coming alive? What makes us curious? What makes us feel hopeful? What makes us simply want to learn, to create or to laugh, to experience life more fully? Right? Those are not distractions, those are clues. The Grand Trine in Fire is saying inspiration is not something that you want to just hang out and wait for, it's something that's here now asking us to trust in it. I think when confidence and vision and inspiration align today, it can make taking that first step a whole lot easier. I'm Craig Martin, and this is Sage of Stars.
