It’s safe to say that after the year we’ve had, most of us are on the hunt for some serious self-care. And while face masks and meditation can make the world of difference, sometimes, it doesn’t always do the trick.
For those who are cosmically aligned, astrology can act like a grown-up security blanket. After months of catastrophic outcomes, there’s a sense of hope that comes from checking one’s horoscope and reading positive news (even if it that’s rare).
Luckily, there are a plethora of astrological podcasts here to help.
Whether you have a love-hate relationship with Mercury retrograde, are intrigued by lunar phases or you’re the friend who obsessively analyses the birth charts of everyone in your circle, then you’re sure to find a celestial podcast to your liking.
Below, we’ve hand-picked the most stellar (no pun intended) astrological podcasts to help you align your stars and prepare for the new year ahead.
Cosmic Cousins
For astro lovers that feel overwhelmed by cosmic terminology and charts, Cosmic Cousins is for you. Hosted by Jeff Hinshaw, the down-to-Earth podcast lives by the mantra: “groundin’ your a** from all the new age sass”. Focusing on how astrology can activate your intuition, the podcast stresses that we’re all connected and that we should leave the world a better place than how we found it.

What’s Your Sign?
Whether you’re looking for a new way to roast the Scorpio in your life or if you’re an avid Mercury retrograde meme maker, astrology doesn’t always need to be taken so seriously. Hosted by Julia Loken, Stevie Anderson, and Lisa Chanoux, What’s Your Sign? has been billed as the My Favorite Murder but for astrology fans. The show teaches its audience about the houses of the Zodiac, the ins and outs of your sign, and more cosmic subjects, but most importantly, it feels like you’re listening in on a conversation between your new best friends.

What Time Was I Born?
