WTF USA? Podcast: 19 Astrologers Break Down Modern Chaos

Never did I conceive, daydreaming in my third grade elementary school history class, that the future would be as crappy as it is today. Of my over four decades on this planet, with full humility and subjectivity, I really do think this is the sh*ttiest, most chaotic collective era to live through, certainly that I’ve lived through.

And as a diviner, looking over mundane astrology charts for countries and the world, I saw the challenging timeline wasn’t an ephemeral blip and would take place over at least a decade, until the 2030s. A few years back when I first started looking at these charts, I honestly didn’t know how to wrap my head around how I would even approach broaching the topic in public. Should I just incite fear and be like oh this is going to be garbage for like 12 years, yelling into a void and disempowering all these strangers? It felt irresponsible to me, not out of sugarcoating inclinations, but more, this is something that merits having a deep, committed discussion among interested peers. This deserves more than dropping 30-second video bombs and hot takes on social media.

Over a year ago I held a three-part webinar called WTF USA: The Astrology Behind the Madness. It was amazing. I presented my findings, we looked into America’s identity, the players, the future, we addressed questions, talked about SO many topics, but after that concluded, it felt like our experience only scratched the surface of this mammoth morass of inquiries. There was so much more to dive into.

At first I considered continuing the series on my own, but then I thought, wait, I want to hear from my super talented, brilliant friends and colleagues. I want to see what conclusions we come to as astrologers and human beings with our different techniques, expertise and experiences. I also wanted to hear diverse voices from all walks of life.

So that is how WTF USA? The Astrology Behind the Madness, the podcast, formed. I got the trademark, produced the show and it’s going live. There are 12 episodes with 19 brilliant astrologers. The podcast officially launches on September 22 2026.

I can’t wait to see where this goes, but number one, I hope it helps you. I hope it provides you with some light at the end of the tunnel, solidarity, inspiration, insight that helps you navigate these wild times. I hope it entertains you for sure and that somehow listening helps keep your heart and strength up.
