Happy Taurus season! Taurus tends to like the finer things in life, and Jupiter likes more of everything...so Jupiter in Taurus is READY for abundance. Whether you are on the Bratz or Cabbage Patch side of Taurus, having Jupiter in Taurus brings a quiet appreciation for the material, the senses, as well as unwavering faith. Bringing in Martin Luther King Jr as a beautiful example of this placement, this episode shows the beauty and abundance of Taurus in Jupiter, whether or not you have it in your birth chart or experience it in real time!

Excuse us, did somebody say EPISODE THREE HUNDRED??! The stars and the lore are shining bright in this episode! Join Ciera and Mimí as they celebrate 300 episodes of The Stars Made Me Do It with a ramble of all the series TSMMDI has done over the years (as well as Ciera forcing Mimí to expose herself in a mini ramble). What started off as a fun hobby has transformed into an educational, professional, still fun and lighthearted, mega reference where we can all chat and learn about the stars.

Mimí and Ciera bring another instalment of the houses series, this episode's main character being Venus! While Venus is all about love, relationships, creativity, and finances, the houses in our chart show us WHERE that Venusian energy expresses itself. If you'd like extra insights as to what areas of life love might show up for you, or deeper understanding as to how you like to give and receive love, this Venus through the houses aims to give extra loving illumination.

This week in history was truly one for the books, and Ciera and Mimí give the astro deep dive into two historical events: the murder of Mexican-American pop-star Selena, and the monumental (literally) completion of the Eiffel Tower. This fascinating episode explores how our personal charts interact with the current astrological transits, as well as gives fascinating insights into Selena's too-short life and the life of Gustave Eiffel, the man behind the masterpiece. Tune in to see what can happen on a new moon in Aries, whether celebratory or devastating.

What happens when you mix the sign of intensity with the planet of excess? Ciera and Mimí are here to tell you ALL about it in this Jupiter in Aries episode! When Jupiter is in Aries, either in a natal chart or in the current transits, we are encouraged to choose ourselves. Luck and abundance find Aries Jupiter natives when they embrace that warrior spirit and lead with passion. With our most moving Jupiter in Aries public figure yet, this episode is filled with passion and emotion.

Don't be ridiculous....EVERYBODY wants this astrology analysis. Regardless of your style or sense of fashion, everyone is welcome here as Mimí and Ciera discuss the iconic Devil Wears Prada. With a star cast to analyze, and using a problematic male sliding scale, this stylistic classic has much to dissect, from stars to stilettos. Join us as we prepare for the second Devil Wears Prada release...no one can do what we do.

In this week’s episode, we’re tackling the dynamic between Mars and Saturn—one of astrology’s most frustrating and ultimately rewarding pairings. We break down how these two planets interact through transits, in the natal chart, and in synastry, exploring the push-pull between Mars’ impulsive drive and Saturn’s patience, discipline, and long-term vision. We also share personal insight from our own Mars-square-Saturn connection, and how that tension has actually created opportunities for growth, resilience, and stronger collaboration over time. If you’ve ever felt the urge to go full speed ahead while life hits the brakes—or wondered how pressure can turn into mastery—this episode will help you understand how Mars and Saturn work together to build something that actually lasts.

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the mysterious world of Neptune—the most elusive, dreamy, and hard-to-define planet in astrology. We explore what Neptune represents in the natal chart, why its energy can feel both magical and confusing, and how it connects us to intuition, spirituality, escapism, and the collective unconscious. Ciera also breaks down the fascinating differences between the mythological Neptune and the astrological symbolism we actually use today, while Mimí brings the discovery chart (with eerily perfect timing) that sparks a bigger conversation about collective suffering and hope. If you’ve ever wondered why certain parts of life feel foggy, sacred, creative, or bigger than yourself, this episode will help you understand how your own Neptune placement can become a gateway to deeper self-connection—and connection to something beyond you. Tune in to decode the mystery.

When it comes to dreams, there is no more potent placement than Jupiter in Pisces! Being in one of its ruling signs, Pisces Jupiter knows no limits when it comes to miracles and potential. While this placement could have a tendency to drift into isolation, often to find its most lucky potential, it is also a placement that finds its social circles in every living creature. Not only discussing how the world collectively experience Jupiter in Pisces in a massively spiritual way, but also diving into how this placement played out in a very famous figure's chart really gives the full picture of Jupiter in Pisces- tune in for the magical and mystical joy!

In this week’s ramble episode, we’re truly covering all the ground—from silly, Valentine’s-themed fun to some very real Saturn wisdom. We chat about the Valentine’s gifts each zodiac sign would actually want, what the Year of the Fire Horse means for all of us, and absolutely lose it over a few chaotic sign pairings (including why Pisces cannot be trusted with straight lines and must be assigned the big wall). We wrap things up by grounding it all with a thoughtful discussion on the three stages of Saturn: growing up and taking responsibility, building a legacy, and eventually sharing that legacy with others. It’s playful, insightful, and very on-brand chaos.

In our latest episode, we’re following Mercury through the 12 houses and breaking down how this placement shapes the way you think, learn, and communicate. We talk about how your natal Mercury influences your perception of reality, the kind of information you’re drawn to, and the areas of life where your voice comes through the loudest and clearest. Whether you’re a big-picture thinker or a detail-obsessed note-taker, this episode helps you understand how your mind works—and where it wants to be heard.

This week, we’re cracking open Uranus—astrology’s first outer planet and ultimate agent of chaos (in the best and worst ways). We talk about what makes an outer planet different from the personal and social ones, why Uranus tends to show up as collective unrest before personal breakthroughs, and how its energy plays out in both natal charts and real-time transits. Along the way, we dip into Uranus mythology, unpack why this planet is all about rebellion and awakening, and wrap things up by debating where Uranus thrives—and where it struggles. Expect insight, a little existential whiplash, and plenty of “ohhh that makes sense now” moments.

This week, we’re kicking off a brand-new series called Astro History, where we look back at major historical events that happened during the same week as our release date—through an astrological lens. In our first episode, we explore Abraham Lincoln’s order to move forward in the Civil War and the tragic Apollo 1 mission fires, examining the charts of the key figures involved as well as the transits shaping those moments in time. While Mimí and Ciera are definitely not professional historians, we do our best to ground the history while using astrology as a tool to add context, symbolism, and deeper insight. Think of this series as a thoughtful blend of history, charts, and cosmic pattern-spotting—perfect for anyone who loves astrology and is curious about how it weaves through pivotal moments in human history.

Talk about genius, influence, and innovation! Jupiter in Aquarius is a call to action to change the world. Whether you have Jupiter in Aquarius, know someone who does, or were just really affected by living through technology-influenced post-covid times, this episode certainly inspires, as natives with this placement do. Jupiter in Aquarius shows us how to think, influence, and connect outside the box. Tune in to this Aquarius season's episode for a fresh take on Jupiter!

In our 5th Q&A-style episode, we’re getting real about what it actually means to be an astrologer and how we personally use astrology to navigate our lives—especially when it comes to working with transits and looking ahead one year at a time (instead of spiraling into the distant future). We also dive into your comments and questions, with a special focus on Chiron—and yes, we fully admit it’s probably time for us to revamp our Chiron episode. If you’ve ever wondered how astrologers actually apply astrology day-to-day, this episode is for you. And don’t forget to drop your questions, thoughts, or feedback in the comments—we’ll be pulling from them for our next Q&A episode!"
