Mars has something of a bad reputation among some astrologers, and as someone with a rather strong placement of that planet myself, I’ll admit that his reputation is not entirely undeserved. But the gift of Mars is its passion, desire, and drive. On our happiest days, our work burns with that passion; and as the Sun enters the picture, it adds pure creative joy.

In the final day of the 7th Annual Big Sky Astrology Podathon, we’re wrapping up five days of special fundraising episodes with an in-depth conversation with relationship astrology expert Dorothy Oja. Dorothy shares her approach to understanding relationships through the birth chart. Plus, April covers the week’s planetary news (a flurry of Mercury aspects) and makes her annual fundraising appeal!

It’s a packed day of planetary news, with Venus entering Scorpio, Mercury entering Libra, Uranus turning retrograde, and the Virgo New Moon. And we welcome astrologer and author Donna Stellhorn for an in-depth conversation about money in the birth chart!
