Hey everyone! We just posted our first Star Club Rewind on Youtube. We're creating these snippets to give the wider astrology community a taste of what goes on in the Star Club panels.
Join us in thanking @Sonia Celestia, Christa Hamilton and Isaac Hill for a great month, and share the video with your friends who might not have had a chance to watch the full lectures!
Up next: NO BIRTH TIME? NO PROBLEM!
People have been gardening by the moon for thousands of years. In this talk, astrologer and Kepler College president Donna Young, a Cree Métis moon gardener herself, breaks down which phases and signs work best for what you're planting, plus how to squeeze the most out of short growing seasons.
Check out our celestial agriculture events!
This month’s theme of celestial agriculture continues with: AstroWeather: Signs of the Seasons with Omari Martin, PhD.
In this archival ISAR workshop, Omari explores how astrology has long been used to observe temperature, moisture, air movement, and broader weather patterns, especially in relation to agriculture, seasonal shifts, and human survival. As extreme weather becomes increasingly common, understanding these celestial indicators can help us prepare for the economic, social, and environmental impacts ahead.
People should not sleep on weather prediction astrology! There's some real fascinating techniques there
Heya ISAR! Look what I just found in the research room at CAELi. I've never worked with St. John's Wort before, but I'm not surprised to learn it's associated with the Sun!
Do you have favorite articles about herbs and planetary correspondences?
This sharp essay by Andrew Crumey pulls alchemy and astrology back into the same frame as science and shows the line between them is thinner than we pretend.
Crumey, a novelist with a PhD in physics, walks through figures like Tycho Brahe and Isaac Newton (a serious alchemist on the side) to argue that history isn't a ladder out of magical thinking but a cliff-face where old ideas persist beneath the new.
That framing matters for celestial agriculture. Moon gardening, planting by the signs, the elemental rhythms growers still follow — these are exactly the kind of "fossilised ideas" Crumey describes, ancient sky-knowledge that never went extinct, just got buried under the topsoil of modern science.

Hey everyone! Just dropping in to let you know that another interview is up on our channel. This time around Ryhan is interviewing Sonia Geary. I've had the pleasure to chat with Sonia a couple times back on my twitter days, and she's one of the sweetest people out there in the astrology community. Can't wait to see her at the panel tomorrow 💕
Hey everyone!
Another interview is up on Youtube~ This time we're introducing you to Astrologer Isaac Hill.
This was my first time coming across his work, but in this episode he shares a lot of intriguing insights about astrology as divination, also compares and contrasts astrology and science, and even shares a little bit about how he got initiated into both Vedic Astrology and Astrological Magic.
It was really great to meet and chat to Isaac on the panel. I am excited for his lecture and hope he returns again.
This month we explore Celestial Agriculture by revisiting the ISAR Journal archive. We are highlighting Nick Kollerstrom's article in the August 2018 issue, examining how lunar rhythms guide the growing process.
The practice of moon gardening relies on the connection between the four elements and plant development. Different parts of the plant respond to specific elemental triggers in the star zodiac:
Root crops like potatoes are best sown when the moon is in Earth signs.
Leaf crops such as cabbage thrive during Water sign transits.
Flowers are best tended during Air sign periods.
Hey everyone!
I'm so happy to introduce you to the new round of speakers for this month's Star Club.
I actually have had the great pleasure to work with Christa in the past, and cannot recommend her more! I first came across her work on twitter, and then fell in love with her work on lucid dreaming. Though Lucid Dreaming is not a part of this month's topic, Christa says she'll be sharing everything she knows about lunar gardening, myth and plant medicine.
Let's welcome her into our group! Say hi to Christa!
Hi Christa, I was so happy to be sharing my first ISAR panel with my astro bestie. Joe G is never wrong. Christa's work on Lucid Dreaming is inspiring. I am so excited for her talk on Anima Mundi next Sunday.

Thank you, it was such a fun month. This is a great idea for a rewind video. I love all of the new ISAR energy!
