The Cosmic Dispatch

Reality is shaped by our tacit and explicit agreements. Our social systems, codes and organizational constructs only exist because they’re agreed upon. To a large degree, if we experience it, we’re cooperating with it. There is so much creative power, collectively and individually—interpersonally and socially, in owning our decisions about what we agree to. But, deciding well means understanding how we contribute to the narratives of morality and logic. Narratives don’t exist in a solid state...

January 2025 + Capricorn Deep Dive | Myths of Structure Today Cory and shea in the catskills explore the embodied experience of Capricorn, and delve into the less-talked about expressions of that zodiac sign. Especially as Saturn (planetary ruler of Capricorn) spends its last months in Pisces and comes into a landscape-shifting square with Jupiter on Christmas Eve, they consider the mystical nature of the “threshold dwellers,” of which Saturn is the ultimate. It’s said to have its joy in the ...

Today Cory walks us through the Gates of Hades (aka the autumnal equinox) with an October forecast, and a breakdown of the ultimate Libra solar eclipse and full moon in Aries. This solar eclipse is conjoined with the south node, Mercury, and Lilith. The asteroid Juno hangs out with this eclipse as well. That’s a lot of Libra material begging to be reckoned with. When do things like diplomacy, the rules of engagement, decorum, and codes of conduct do more to maintain inequities than to resolve...

LEO SEASON PART 2: THE CENTER CANNOT HOLD I love love love this conversation about Leo that I had with Joselia Hughes. It might be my favorite conversation that I’ve had about Leo so far, because we talk about what is NOT visible with this sign. Of all the people I work with, people with strong Leo signatures are the ones who consistently report that they don’t resonate with the pop-astrology significations of the sign. Astrology is a complex story-telling apparatus. If we approach it with a ...

Cancer Season (embarking on Leo season): From Safe Spaces to Brave Spaces Today’s episode begins with an embodied conversation about the sign of Cancer with Marléne Ramirez-Cancio, artistic director of Brooklyn Arts Exchange, tarot practitioner, process doula, and arts educator and activist on many fronts.

Pisces Season 2024: Personalizing the Co-Presence of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces Some alternative titles for this episode included: “The Wisdom in the Suck,” “You’re Over it Because it’s Over,” and “Reality and Illusion: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together.” All joking aside, this Pisces season is a murky, heavy wall of fog, with the crackling energy of disruption trying to break through. Today, Cory is joined by astrologers Mandee Sheeler and Jillian Sweeney to talk about the ways th...

This impromptu, casual discussion is an attempt to encapsulate the many features of the dramatic eclipses of October. No script, no notes, no plan. Just two people pulling at the many threads of the Aries-Libra and Taurus-Scorpio axes. Cory and Mandee are officially taking a break from regularly scheduled programming but wanted to touch base regarding this month’s extraordinary astrology. Topics include: Solar eclipse Libra, October 14 (south node Libra, Mars in Libra, opposite north node Ari...

Today, Cory Nakasue takes through the dazzling and exacting astrology of the week. We say good-bye to a Leo season that explores one type of passion, and we welcome a Virgo season that invites a different kind of passion. Cory also dives into the archetypes of Virgo that are less talked about: the medicine/poison maker, the auto-erotic, the hermetic task-master, and the consort of god. Major transits discussed include: Venus' square to Jupiter, Mars' opposition to Neptune, the sun's entrance ...
