Ep. 177: Matt Damon & Luciana Barroso's 21-Year Marriage — Astrology Deep Dive
In episode 177, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield analyze the 21-year marriage of Hollywood A-lister Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso.
Matt Damon's Birth Chart: An Aquarius Rising matches his humanitarian, "everyday-guy" persona, while a Capricorn Moon points to a by-the-book upbringing. Saturn in the 3rd house reveals a disciplined writer — it took him 5 years to write Good Will Hunting. His Libra Sun, Mercury, and Uranus explain why he founded the production company Artist Equity.
Luciana Barroso's Birth Chart: A Leo Sun, Venus, and Mercury love glamour and attention. With her Sun conjunct Saturn, she's someone who grows into her confidence over time — she now produces movies. A Libra Moon conjunct Pluto brings emotional depth.
Their Synastry (Relationship Astrology): Both have Mars in Virgo, giving them a shared drive for perfection and appreciation for detailed creative notes. A Uranus conjunction to the Moon and Pluto brings a revolutionary spark — exciting but sometimes jarring. Saturn and Neptune square Mercury, which can make communication tricky, and a Venus square Venus sets up a clash between Leo's love of grand public gestures and Scorpio's preference for private, intense intimacy. Does a lack of nurturing aspects to the Moon mean someone always wants more?
Tune in to hear what Venus score this long-standing celebrity couple receives!

The Synastry of William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies
Episode 176: The Astrology of William Randolph Hearst & Marion Davies — Hollywood's Most Unconventional Power Couple
In episode 176, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield explore one of Hollywood's most unconventional power couples: media mogul William Randolph Hearst and actress Marion Davies.
We start with Hearst, a Taurus Rising with Sun, Pluto, and Mercury in Taurus — a man built for accumulation and control. His Uranus in Gemini fueled his empire as a communication titan, while Pluto conjunct his Sun hints at the manipulation and extremes that defined his life, from incomprehensible wealth to a staggering $126 million debt.
In Davies' chart, a rare Pluto-Mars conjunction in Gemini (both retrograde) reveals the explosive intensity beneath her public charm, while her Capricorn placements transformed her into a shrewd businesswoman despite early career obstacles linked to a persistent stutter.
Together, they share a grand earth trine between both their Suns and Moons — creating an almost unshakeable material partnership. They've got the coveted Venus/Mars conjunctions in plucky, fun Gemini (their relationship must have come alive at parties). And his Jupiter trine her Venus cast her as his muse and bankrolled her lavish lifestyle. But her Pluto-Mars square his Moon gave her the emotional upper hand, making the power dynamic seemingly lopsided. And Jupiter squares from either side created space for overindulgence and God-like confidence.
Is this a story of true love, or simply a business arrangement? Listen in to hear what Venus Score we assign to this enigmatic Hollywood dynasty.

Venus Retrograde in Scorpio and Libra 2026
In Episode 175, astrologer Kristina Martin takes on the upcoming Fall Venus Retrograde. While Tara is away, Kristina breaks down exactly what to expect from October 3rd to November 13th in this must-listen astrology episode.
Starting with the fundamentals, she dives into what a Venus retrograde actually is, its deeper meaning, the "shadow" period, and how to best use this energy. Next, she explores the themes of the signs Venus will transit, explaining why Libra and Scorpio are particularly potent placements for the planet of love and money. Then come the stats—the critical dates, degrees, and the specific aspects Venus will make during her transition into the Morning Star.
With a Mercury Retrograde happening in the middle of this transit, Kristina explains how to synthesize these two energies to rethink your beliefs. A powerful square to Pluto (the second of three passes) indicates deep shadow work is required, while a potent Full Moon and an opposition to Chiron place heavy emphasis on turning inward to examine your self-worth. This Venus retrograde is not for the faint of heart! Ending with a sextile to Jupiter and Mars, this retrograde is chock-full of lessons in personal fulfillment. Listen in to get tips, reminders, and learn what to avoid to best use this rare and empowered Venus moment.
