Why astrology?

Horoscopes are more than just pithy advice columns. They are an ancient tool for tracking time from a cosmic perspective. Knowing you’re a Sagittarius or that you have a moon in Aquarius or that you’re a Cancer Rising, is only a small part of the picture. Working with a professional astrologer can help you to unlock and more fully engage those archetypes, and to tune in to what makes you you.

Fate doesn’t have to be fatalistic. Knowing your astrology is like knowing your cosmic DNA — some things are changeable, given circumstances and some things are more hard wired; changing them can cause lots of tension. I use a mix of the beautiful symmetry and concreteness of traditional (Hellenistic and Medieval) techniques and the rich and transformative language of modern psychological astrology.

00.08 Engaging the Shadow in Pisces

Mar 17, 2021

In this episode, Michelle and Matt discuss the need to get the mind connected to the body and the unconscious. Mercury entered Pisces on March 15, which is it's sign of fall and detriment, leaving us without much resonant recourse to logic and analysis. Michelle and Matt delve into why this is then a good time to tap into Piscean ways of knowing through divination and mantra, and they pull some tarot cards in order to illustrate the point and the process.

00.07 Cultivating a Uranus Shift

Mar 3, 2021

Michelle and Matt delve into how the Saturn Uranus squares of 2021 are teaching us how to adjust our inner expectations toward external circumstances. We all learn early on as as kids how to gauge the responses we're likely to get to our actions. This is necessary to build the confidence in order to act. However, during certain cyclic periods, like when Saturn is squaring Uranus, we encounter situations that challenge those expectations. Using personal examples, Matt and Michelle spell out how we can practice adjusting our expectations in order to raise awareness of the richness life has to offer when we do.

00.05 Stellium in Aquarius

Feb 3, 2021

Given that 5 planets are in Aquarius for at least the next two weeks, and that Mercury just stationed retrograde there as well, Michelle and Matt dive into the nuances of the quirky air sign, it's dual rulership, and a number of misconceptions, in order to flesh out how the air-based sign highlights our inner need to adapt our thinking to the present moment in order to avoid stagnancy and toxic attitudes.

00.04 Neptune Square the Nodes

Jan 20, 2021

Michelle and Matt discuss Neptune in Pisces squaring the Moon’s Nodes in Sagittarius and Gemini (exact on January 25), and the need for each of us to regularly experience the metaphysical through regular practice (yoga, meditation, prayer, nature walks, etc). In the 2nd half of the show, they shift to breakdown the conjunction of Mars and Uranus in Taurus happening on January 20, and what that has to say about our individual and collective needs to listen to and honor our inner child, which Taurus can often represent.

00.03 Saturn/Jupiter conjunct in Aquarius

Dec 16, 2020

Michelle and Matt discuss the Great Jupiter and Saturn Conjunction in Aquarius on December 21. While people have been linking the upcoming transit to the Star of Bethlehem or the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, it’s one of the foundational cycles of ancient astrology. The two planets align about every 20 years, and tend to form these conjunctions in signs of the same element (earth, air, fire, water) for 200 years at a time. This conjunction marks a shift from earth (since 1802) to air, so Matt and Michelle break down the element of air (mental faculties) and the archetype of Aquarius. In the second half of the show, they pull cards from the Archetypes oracle deck by Kim Krans, to see what messages might be coming through from the collective unconscious.

00.02 Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius

Dec 9, 2020

Michelle and Matt discuss how the upcoming Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius on December 14 is asking us to get in touch with and hone our deeper truths by seeking out trustworthy guides, as well as to own our feelings (and avoid blame and competition) in conflicts over beliefs. They invite listeners to reflect on life experiences during the previous south node eclipses in Sagittarius (back around 2001-2003) to see what seems to be coming up and again in different contexts.

What Clients Have Said

Testimonial Entries

“How do we begin to make sense of the complete chaos of our time? Astrology can help us identify patterns in our own life and how those patterns intersect with the cosmic. Sounds complicated but in the hands of a master, it makes sense. Matt Trease understands quite deeply how the individual engages in the world via astrology and I can recommend him without reservation for anyone wishing to explore their own astrological strengths and challenges ESPECIALLY as they are influenced by cosmic underpinnings.”

-Paul N.

“What I love about Matt is how intuitive he is, channeling from a direct connection with the luminaries while also drawing upon his wealth of knowledge to read your chart. I also appreciate how he can interpret the chart from many different angles and lenses of astrology. He captures the essence or main message of the transits and he works from a soul level awareness.”

-Michelle B.

“Astrology and its intersections with the poetic have been covered by the likes of Dottie Lasky and the Astro Poets. But sit down with astrologer Matt Trease to talk about the stars and you’ll gain a much more nuanced understanding of planetary influence. Interweaving the story of the skies at your birth with the template of your life, Matt creates a celestial map which you complete by pulling together the threads of your own experience. By moving towards an awareness of the unseen forces at work in your life, you’ll come away from Matt's reading with a confidence in your own agency, and ability to reimagine and work with the ancient patterns that both precede and proceed you.”
