May opens and closes with a full moon — making this a blue moon month — and there's plenty happening in between.

Tracy and Lillian walk through the astrological hot spots for May 2026: the big lunar story bookending the month, Pluto going retrograde, a new moon sitting on a fixed star you'll want to know about, a week of triple sign changes, and the void of course moons that are basically the universe's way of telling you to stop pushing.

Plus — oracle messages for every sign.

In astrology, Venus rules love and beauty, right? Sure. But that's barely the surface of what she's doing in your chart, and if that's the only conversation you've had with her, you may be missing the point.. In this episode, Tracy and Lillian sit down with astrologer and author Dr. Stormie Grace to talk about Venus the way she works: as a magnet, a compass, and a practice. Not a personality trait and definitely not just decoration. They get into the two biggest misconceptions about Venus and why so many women can't answer "what do you want," and what starts to shift when you stop running Venus into the ground. Stormie also shares how her Venus Reset program came to be, and why the price dropped to make sure more women could get in. This is one of those conversations you didn't know you needed.

What happens when an astrologer who doesn't consider herself a gardener decides to just... plant by the moon instead? Her first year, she was giving vegetables away to the whole neighbourhood. Nobody else in Calgary could grow peas. Hers were over her head. That's where this episode starts. Tracy and Lillian are joined by astrologer and Kepler College president Donna Young to dig into lunar gardening — moon phases vs. signs, void of course, the Apogee/Perigee (which most calendars skip entirely), Moon-Saturn aspects, biodynamic gardening, and what ancient Mesopotamian farmers were doing that we've mostly forgotten. It goes to some unexpected places. Birds. The Dust Bowl. Feng shui. A Washington Monument Christmas tree. And a county extension agent with the most practical advice you'll ever hear about when to prune your apple tree.
