Understanding the elements air/fire etc and my partners Ascendant helps. Ex: He has Sagittarius ♐ Asc putting 4th house whole sign ♓ Pisces where his Natal Venus resides. He also has Mars & Saturn in Sagittarius. So I whole heartily support his need for competitive sports. Sun in Aquarius ♒ I give him head massages 💆‍♀️ to ground him. ❤😅❤

[@megangwyn]

So, let’s just interpret that all of us are in love with Christopher!!! Thank you so much! ♥️♥️♥️

[@amandawalsh2998]

So cute. Yes! ❤

[@nicoledragonastrology]

I love that “ most people are talking their charts” do the reading and LISTEN to them talk and track it in the chart. Takes a lot of pressure off when I think of a reading that way ❤

[@allisonkoch7288]

Love Christopher! Had the privilege of meeting and visiting with him a few weeks ago at Norwac! Then to come home to more Christopher as our IC astrologer guide for this month…! I feel so blessed! I have watched the master class twice!and likely will go through it again! Thanks Christopher and Astrology Hub!

[@AstrologyHubPod]

Such beautiful synchronicities!! 💛 We are so grateful to bring incredible astrologers like Christopher to our community! Thank you for your continued support 💛

[@nicoledragonastrology]

Ohhhhh very helpful. Never dug into a composite chart, now I know what it is!

[@FairyPodcaster]

“Oh no! I’m not in season. I’m like a small little tomato or a shriveled banana.” 😂😂😂 Loved this! Around 34 minutes.

[@The145Club]

Thank You Christopher ❣️ Thank You Amanda❣️ Since today is Fathers Day, I finding myself pondering parent/child relationships. The ones we are born into, for better or worse. I find many Karmic challenges in this dynamic. The ultimate being the choice to overcome the differences and find common ground. I think astrology is most helpful in understanding how a relationship works; why; and what we can do individually to make the most of it - which includes walking away without hard feelings or regrets. I tend to think, that any transit, natal position or aspect offers unlimited options. There is always the obvious - Benefic or malefic. Flowing and easy or obstacle ridden. Yet every aspect holds the possibility of both the light and the dark side of its nature, enabling us to choose the best possible option to understand and overcome any challenges in our way… With regard to parent and child, it’s never a question of who’s older or younger; who should know better or not… It’s about the willingness to embrace maturity, make the wiser choice, say the wiser words and do the wiser deeds - All in the name of Love… Happy Father’s Day All🥰❣️

[@amandawalsh2998]

Beautifully said! 😍 Thank you for sharing your reflections here.

[@somacarr7528]

Your humor is so wonderful Christopher! It helps me learn to laugh sometimes. Astrology can be so complicated. You make it fun!

[@amandawalsh2998]

What a great compliment! He makes me laugh too - love it ❤

[@ellen-suediamant6369]

You 2 Caps are fun together- and you both smile a lot!

[@amandawalsh2998]

Thank you Ellen! I love being with Cgristopher! He puts an immediate smile on my face as I know he does for so many 😊😊😊

[@moonpluto]

Excellent point re signs in the same seasons. Have been thinking about that a lot in the last many months. Something missed and underemphasized by many astrologers. The tropical zodiac is season based first and foremost. (And should be reversed for the southern hemisphere to fit those seasons) The sun, Mercury and Venus always fall in the same season. That tells us a lot. More than element emphasis. Like quadrants in the houses. A major emphasis in a given person's life that is not too hard to see. There are winter people, summer people, spring people, etc. Also, his point about ruling planet sharing - like engirding acc to classic astro - Ibn Ezra highlights this.

[@devanpitts3799]

On Ricks live this month there was a lot of Libra energy with the charts he looked at. Like a calling

[@judemcdougall9504]

yes people born in the same sign do resonate beautifully Christopher. I am in the southern hemisphere and it is always weird for me to hear you speak of spring signs for example as our spring time is september virgo' october libra; november sagitarrius

[@violetatcontentboutique7188]

Thank you Christopher & Amanda! I sure wish I'd known these things back in high school! 💜

[@amandawalsh2998]

Right? Would have saved a lot of heartache 😊

[@amanitamuscaria7500]

I love Christopher. thank you.

[@cindyrainbowwisdom6994]

So tempting as June 18th is my birthday 😂 feels like I should spoil myself, but I just got myself the year ahead report. Thanks, Christopher and Amanda, always a pleasure to learn from you both

[@amandawalsh2998]

So happy you enjoyed it. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY ❤🎉❤ glad to be in your orbit! 😊

[@rhimom4931]

Christopher you're way too entertaining

[@amandawalsh2998]

It's the best, right? So gifted ❤

[@pennyweir9789]

Thank you Christopher ⚘

[@cherylannfulton5448]

Fabulous Christopher! I love how you bring history into the picture and I love your medieval image from the German Codex Manesse! I LOVE that you started out noting that love is coming to us from all over the place all the time. 🥰

[@CHC2424]

Amanda you are amazing for being such a host!

[@amandawalsh2998]

So happy you enjoyed it 😊

[@eyerusalemhunt1096]

I had a fantastic time listening to you both ❤

Yay! So happy to hear this ❤

[@Vision2life1]

When is the astrology dating site coming?

[@BurningTarot]

So nice to see Christopher and Amanda. I've been off the IC for a while, and this makes me miss y'all! Also, I too have noticed the phenomenon of Sun Rulers in the house of the client's lover. It's right there in my own chart: my Sun is in Taurus, ruled by Venus. My natal Venus is retrograde, stationing direct in Aries. Supposedly she is in her fall here, but I am perfectly happy with how my Venusian side manifests in some Mars-ruled ways (no wonder I am the she/they in the Department of Contemporary Pronouns). My husband? Aries, of course. My first lover who was also my first long-term relationship? Aries. One of my favorite musical collaborator-friends? Aries dude, of course. I love my Aries menfolk!

[@amandawalsh2998]

Awesome insights! Happy to see you here! ❤❤❤

[@demzwordz]

My fiancé and I have a 25 age difference but are compatible. He is an Aries Sun and I am Gemini Sun and we are both Taurus rising.

[@1amyw100]

I love your substantive, brilliant, and upbeat conversations, thank you. I always learn so much. My mind was blown a bit today thinking about the natal chart ruling planet. I'd love more conversation (or please direct me to another video/resource) about the different perspectives on the planetary chart ruler. My first teacher drilled into me that my chart ruler was the ruling planet of my ascendent (in my case the Sun). My Sun sits in my 12th house Cancer. Per Christopher, my chart ruling body is that of the Sun Sign, thus the Moon for me. My Moon opposes my Sun. I'm not sure how to sort out the two different perspectives in this case. Can I apply both ideas?

[@Sweet-Aloha]

OMG Christopher, you just struck a cord and a light went on! I have a dear Friend with whom we are in amazing resonance from when we met seven years ago -she’s from New Zealand and I’m from the US. She’s a Scorpio and I’m a Cancer and yet “although at first glance we’re out of season” But her Sun is summer in the southern hemisphere and my Sun is summer in the northern hemisphere viola! An element that brings us into resonance!!! According to what you’re saying!

[@amandawalsh2998]

Great insight! 😊❤

[@adrijana_den]

This ❤ and thank you very much 🎈

[@amandawalsh2998]

Wonderful. So glad you loved it! ❤

[@perlamargarita8040]

Pluto rules muy ascendent...😱 But my best relationship was with a Scorpio. He passed 15 years ago. Jupiter rules my Sun in Sag... And I always end up alone. I don't understand anything.

[@corinselley9423]

Thankyou so much. I have a question. If the chart ruler say mars (Aries/Scorpio) or venus Taurus/Libra are from different seasons how does this work and which takes priority?

[@laurafahey542]

A match made in heaven we want it to be a great lesson like a soul mate karmic r to learn like the boyfriend we have as teens n in our 20s don’t marry until u hit 29/30 years of age for your not fully grown till 25 n values do change sow your oats don’t make babies live yourself n when married . Hav your baby’s w/ joy n peace . ❤I ❤ luv to u all .

[@amandawalsh2998]

Agreed! ❤

[@stephenthejupiterian]

I have the Sun in Pisces where Jupiter and Neptune rule my sign. Natal Jupiter in Scorpio and Neptune in Sagittarius. I think it is odd that my partner has the Sun in Libra with Venus the ruler in Libra. I have natal Venus in the exalted sign of Pisces.

[@Princess9831]

So my Sun is Libra at 13 degrees and his moon is at 8 degrees Libra. Is that considered a conjunction?

[@christopherrenstromastro]

Yes! 😊

[@roseannal890]

🙏 🍃🌹🍃

[@kamalimasters5287]

Thankyou to you both. Resonates and omg what a shit show. Lots of Aries energy everywhere.😂😂😂

[@amandawalsh2998]

One of the great things about astrology is it reminds us that nothing lasts forever! There's a season for everything. Sending you big hugs and lots of love 😊❤

[@altruisted]
