On the surface of everything and everyone we touch, our biological fingerprint fuses with the code of countless strangers, blurring the line between self and other. The same is true of the 700 microbial species that make their home in more> This morning, I asked my soul, What is our natural state? The answer arrived as a testimonial: I’m more concerned with what I’m wading “through” than the direction of my sloshing; more drawn to stroking the texture of Consciousness than forming a sexy bond with a particular expression of it. more> THE WORLD was designed to drag us into existential self-inquiry. That’s Buddhism 101. In that sense, August is a gold mine. During the “soft” centuries, mind becomes contemplatively lazy. Life is about color, style and “getting stuff” from the raging impermanence– not making meaning out of it. Then the civilizational pendulum more> THE WORLD is brimming with birth charts whose style of awakening is to mature into some kind of self-inquiry coach. It has always been so. Some beings wake up in the throes of catalyzing self-discovery in others. What happens when said soul incarnates into a witness-parched society entranced by ego-hardening belief and more> VENUS turns retrograde on July 22nd until September 3rd, but its themes are active all month, as its pre-shadow period begins on June 19th and extends to October 7th.

So many faces etched by the absence of any meditative cross to rise from. Minus the “in the world, but not of it” stillness of the Merciful Witness we are fast becoming a Robosapien society in which “merging with machines” feels like an more> Welcome to the Astrodharma Podcast. My name is Hunter Reynolds and I invite you to join me as we sip the tea of self-inquiry, sit proud in our infinity and bask in the soul-seeing light of modern, meditative astrology. This episode contains four dharma bell breaks and ends with three minutes of more> Flowers of Eternity JUNE is a welcome pause. With Mercury retrograde and the Eclipses over, it’s time to relax, shake off the stress and digest what we’ve learned. In full support of this assimilation process is the revelation-rich full Moon in Sagittarius on June 3rd, whose theme is, Releasing outworn more> THE SKY THAT’S HOSTING US: Healing our relationship to space and recovering our timeless buoyancy WELCOME to the Astrodharma Podcast. My name is Hunter Reynolds and I invite you to join me as we sip the tea of self-inquiry, sit proud in our infinity and bask in the soul-seeing light more> MAY CONTINUES the pensive pairing of two eclipses with Mercury retrograde. The polarity at play is Taurus/Scorpio. We are challenging ourselves to be “in the body, on the earth, as it is” in the midst of disorienting upheaval and change. Meanwhile, a portal is opening: the mystic “bank” of the more> APRIL OPENS with a tense Mercury/Pluto square signaling continuing upheavals in commerce and finance. On a personal level, attempts to assert authority can easily be perceived as controlling, resulting in power struggles, so stay open and curious about differing points of view. Powerful people are unimpressed by minds that agree or disagree. more> WELCOME to the Astrodharma Podcast.

We bow to you and give thanksfor your everlasting dignity Your stealthy sinlessnessundimmed by ego’s wicked theater Bless us with Your mystic fortitude:the soul-seeing sovereignty that never loses faith In the sublime embryouncurling in every womb of more> “Moving Forward Behind the Scenes“ WELCOME to the true beginning of 2023. The planets of action and communication are finally functioning at full capacity and all planets are direct until May 2nd. Devote the first 2 & 1/2 weeks to mapping out a vision. Then take the vision inward, working with more> Wine of the world! You who turns buzz cuts into walled gardens, and “doing the dishes” into the ultimate New Zealand bunker, Help us say yes… To this ferocious tide, sloshing souls back and forth across the veil, muzzling the mouth of “because,” so we can hear what wants more> Sober Strategy Meets Unbridled Tenderness The first two weeks of 2023 are ideal for silent contemplation. With both Mars in Gemini and Mercury (Gemini’s ruler) are retrograde until the 18th, interpersonal communication and attempts to move forward are restrained, focused and disciplined. A great time to plan and strategize for more> I hide by being everywhere. Come find me! Come find me! Welcome to the Astrodharma Podcast.

This episode more> THE FREQUENCY OF GRACE DECEMBER is a retrospective time of year, corresponding to the beginning of old age. At a certain point in the aging process one starts being less personal or interpersonal and more transpersonal.

Against this tense, politically restive backdrop, the new life directions revealed to us during the October 25th Solar eclipse will, like a clay pot, get glazed and fired. Some will crack. more> In this podcast I begin with a salute to Scorpio eclipses, pen a stingy Scorpio prayer, bow to the dharma of collapsing governments, explain why Millenials and Gen-Xers are indifferent to religion, but “on fire” with astrology, take a peek at the “therapist of the future” and explain how tomorrow’s counselors and priests more> HER Mystery School is excited to announce a new offering that combines the soul-seeing insights of Astrology with experiential, feminine support from a skillful HMS Mentor.
