Turning Of The Wheel Podcast

Does a Taurus like food more than a Gemini?  Do Capricorns imbibe more than an Aquarius?  And, if so, what foods do the signs prefer?  These and many other topics are the subject of this interesting take on astrology and food.  Join host, Chris Flisher as he discusses this unique angle on astrology with author Lucy Ash as she discusses her book, "A Taste of Astrology."

The coming months present us with a series of close astrological degrees.  The presence of Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto all in the middle to late degrees of cardinal signs may present an opportunity for anyone willing to step in and harness that power.  The same holds true for the coming eclipse season in middle to late February for early mutable signs.  Join your host, Chris Flisher as he discusses these tight angles with astrologer, Ronnie Dreyer.

Jupiter is the planet of the zodiac that represents abundance, optimism, but also amplification.  Uranus represents rebellion, revolution, but also innovation.  As these two planets move into opposition what might we expect to see?  As the United States pivots towards a wildly unprecedented administration what might we see unfolding?  Is this a turn towards a new mode of operation or a swing towards chaos?  Join host, Chris Flisher as he discusses this topic with colleague and astrologer, Henry Seltzer.

Numerology shares many of the same attributes as astrology.  Based on the birth date and the letters of the name, numerology offers a composite profile of the attributes of an individual or an entity.  Like astrology, numerology offer insights into the shape of the year to come.  In this segment, host, Chris Flisher speaks with numerologist, Micheal John Fierro about how 2017 is shaping up.  Using the numbers for the year to come we can contemplate the themes of the year to come.

The coming year presents the United Sates with an unusual and powerful set of Eclipses, one of which is being called "The Great American Eclipse."  In this segment, host, Chris Flisher discusses the coming eclipses with astrologer Agneta Borstein.  The eclipse that occurs on August 21 will be visible in large areas of the U.S.  Commencing in California and then moving across the lower U.S. this eclipse hits many key points in the astrology chart of the United States.  What does it bode?  How does the US move forward?  What comes to our attention at this juncture?

What a wild ride this year has been.  We have suffered an enormous shift in our power structure that may ripple across our social landscape for decades to come.  Is this what we expected?  How do we mitigate the damage?  Where do we go from here?  How to we cope?  All of these and other topics are the subject of this interview with your host Chris Flisher and astrologer, Michael Lutin.

Now that the vote has been cast and we are witnessing a slow political march in the opposite direction, we pause to reflect what happened in this most unusual election cycle.  Why were the predictions so egregiously wrong?  Why did we not see this coming?  Why were the polls so ambiguous?  These and many more questions arise in this discussion between host, Chris Flisher and astrologer Dorothy Oja.  How do we make sense of what happened?  How do we move forward?

Maxwell Maltz was a pioneer in the self-help market with his revolutionary book, "Psycho-Cybernetics."  Written in 1960, this book was a true trail-blazer to a generational audience of reflective people who were looking for alternate methods for coping with low self-image.  As a world-renowned plastic surgeon, Maltz's patients were always working on their exterior which got him to thinking about the true rationale behind "repairing" oneself.  In his ground-breaking book, Maltz devised a methodology for examining and subsequently reviewing internal self-image as a means for a healthier, happier life.  In this discussion, host Chris Flisher discusses the re-issue of this important book with editor and writer, Mitch Horowitz.

Back in the mid 1800s, a strange woman with a thick Russian accent and a head full of wild esoteric ideas, formed a new movement dedicated to the forward evolution of the occult.  Although not considered a cultist per se, her work blended Eastern religion, mysticism, psychic channeling, and other controversial topics into a bold new sect of followers that formed what many believe to be the founding of the new age philosophies we recognize today.  Although she was alive over 120 years ago, Madame Blavatsky's influence continues to populate many of the spiritually-oriented lifestyles many of us now subscribe.  Join host, Chris Flisher as he speaks with author Gary Lachman about this most fascinating woman in this podcast. 

We have been under the gaze of a retrograde Neptune for the past six months.  During that time the attributes that best identify Neptune have been upon us in full force.  Neptune is regarded as the planet of confusion, delusion, and illusion.  Neptune obscures all that it encounters.  On the collective level we have all been under the influence of this nebulous orb as the election season has us twisted around in ways we have never witnessed or imagined.  Join host, Chris Flisher as he speaks with world-renowned astrologer, Steven Forrest about this most unusual season and influence.

As we glance back over the current election many of us are dumbfounded by the outcome.  An upset that appeared out of nowhere has many of us pondering our future, our options, and our personal safety.  What do we do now?  Join, host Chris Flisher as he speaks with old friend and colleague, Tad Mann about the astrology of these potent times.  Is this the influence of Neptune?  Is this what the Pluto return looks like in the US?  These and many other topics are discussed as we look backwards while remaining optimistic for the wake-up call that was just delivered. 

For centuries humankind has been mystified by the presence of uniquely symmetrical geometric designs etched out in crops. Are they a natural phenomena? Are they the work of a hoax? Why don't they get more publicity? Join host, Chris Flisher as he discusses this most unusual natural event with Peter Tadd.

Juno is one of the asteroids that circles the earth in a belt of other asteroids located between Mars and Jupiter.  We all have them in our astrology charts, but do you understand the significance of this one?  Juno represents the karmic connection you long for in this lifetime.  Whether we are aware of it or not, the placement of Juno at the time of your birth, is a significant indicator of your ideal partner.  While we may stray into a variety of relationships over the course of our life, there is something immediately recognizable in the person who is right for you.  Juno points to that one in your life.  Listen as host Chris Flisher speaks with Marguerite Manning about her new book, "Juno: Your Karmic Match Made In Heaven"

The Cosmic Intelligence Agency is the brain child of astrologer Julilja Simas.  This organization located in Australia serves as a platform for the distribution of astrology and all its various components.  Using a clever name and a broad sense of humor, Simas has escalated astrology to a whole new realm of followers.  This interview is an archived show from 2009, with your host Chris Flisher.

Although he may not be well known, there is reason to believe we have lost a pioneering genius of the highest order.  Paul Laffoley was indeed light years ahead of his time.  An artist, an architect, a metaphysician; he encompassed so many of the qualities that define a genius in every sense of the word.  There really is no one like him.  It may be fair to say that he is from another time way ahead of where we now occupy.  Delve into his artwork and try to understand where this man was coming from.  Join host, Chris Flisher as he discusses this great artist with his manager, Doug Walla as we remember the imprint this man has left on our planet.  Also view www.turningofthewheel.tv and search out the video segments recorded with Paul.  This is an artist light years ahead of his time and worthy of our attention. 

Many people believe in karma.  The idea that we are recycled to fulfill that which we didn't accomplish in our first (or multiple) pass through.  What about those of us who suffer with chronic problems such as physical or emotional pain.  Are these the symptom of a life spent wrong in the past?  Are we back on earth to learn something new?  Do we ever get out of the cycle?  Who were we and how do we find out?  Listen as host, Chris Flisher speaks with Joanne DiMaggio about this interesting theory as discussed and researched in her book of the same title.

Relationships are complex.  That is no secret.  But what if you knew the Chinese element associated with the people with whom you interact?   Supposing the quirks and tingles that come with other people all of a sudden made sense?  The clues may lie in the element of the person.  In this segment Dondi Dahlin discusses her new book "The Five Elements" and how they impact our relationships with others.  Are you a "wood" person trying to make sense of a "water" person?  Does "metal" work with "fire?"  Each of us has an element that can explain a lot about our personalities and the method in which we interact with others.  Join host Chris Flisher as he delves into this ancient tradition with the author.

It has been said that 90% of all people have a sense of humor.  Not sure about the other 10%, but one thing is certain, humor is the universal equalizer.  It is used to smooth out rough patches in life, it is used by speakers to break the ice before speaking, and it brings levity to what can be a difficult time on the planet.  What makes humor universal?  Are some astrological signs more prone to humor?  Is the quick-thinking Gemini better than say a slow plodding Taurus?  Does the Sagittarius tickle our ribs more than a stoic Capricorn?  These and other topics are discussed with astrologer and author Frank C. Clifford with your host, Chris Flisher

How we appear to the world is often far different from how we perceive ourselves.  Are we delusional or simply unaware?  The ascendant or the rising sign is one of the most telling characteristics in the astrology chart.  This significant point in the chart is the mask we wear and may determine how our relationships work...or don't.  Join host and astrologer, Chris Flisher as he discusses this topic with author and astrologer, Jodie Forrest in this archived show from the vaults.

New York Times best-selling author, David Wilcock comes on to Turning of the Wheel with Chris Flisher to discuss his latest theories and new book, "The Ascension Mysteries."  Controversial, yet widely recognized as a pioneer in the esoteric topics of human development and the role of the great cosmos in our evolution, Wilcock is a highly-regarded renegade.  Are we seeing clearly?  Do we know the truth?  Is there far more here that we are too distracted to grasp or comprehend?  David urges us to think outside of the box and look through a new and penetrating lens of discovery.  Do you believe?  Join host Chris Flisher as he probes Wilcock's unique views.
