  • E5: Shine On You Crazy Diamond
    Feb 6 2026

    In this episode we explore the Leo archetype with Cara-Lyn Giovanniello, amateur cellist and world-traveler who has held leadership development roles at UC Berkeley, Nextdoor.com and Block, and who currently offers coaching and organizational strategy consulting to teams throughout Silicon Valley, including at Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Google. Here we catch Cara-Lyn in a self-reflective mood, and take the opportunity to discuss what it feels like to express so much Fire energy, learn how Virgo can be a crucial grounding force for Piscean tendencies, and hear why it's important to have so many best friends (10, to be exact).

  • E4: Make It a Double
    Dec 5 2025

    In this episode I interview Seth Bain. Seth is a very creative chocolatier in the San Francisco Bay Area who occasionally sells startups to Fortune 100 companies. These days he also works in criminal justice reform, advocating against the death penalty and helping to provide second chances for people. He's a double Gemini, approaching his second Saturn return, and a total astrology skeptic. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

  • E3: Come On In, the Water's Fine
    Nov 17 2025

    My guest today is Jessica Salsbury. Jessica is an avid gardener in Washington D.C. who likes to practice immigration law in her spare time. Most recently she helped to craft policy for the federal government before her entire division was eliminated by DOGE. At the time of recording, she was considering her next steps in life, and remarkably - even though Scorpios have a reputation for privacy - she graciously agreed to have her birth chart analyzed on the show.
