551. Steve Judd: Why 2026 Changes Everything & The Next 4 Years Are Make or Break for Humanity

Steve Judd

 [00:00:00] 

Welcome to Soul Elevation, guiding Your Ascension to New heights. I'm your host Kara Goodwin, and I'm sure many of you already know today's guest As Steve Judd has been big in the astrology world for a long time. We talk about how huge the year 2026 will be. How those signs impact your personality, particularly your Sun Moon rising and Midheaven signs astrological profiling and a striking prediction that the next four years are literally make or break for humanity.

I sense that Steve feels will make it and flourish, but we do have to live up to the potential of the times.

We also talk about the historical aspects of astrology, how and why it's been suppressed, and

why it's so important and [00:01:00] empowering. Steve Judd is a British professional astrologer with over 45 years of experience in chart interpretation and astrological insight. Born in England. He discovered astrology in the late 1970s and entirely self-taught. Has since completed tens of thousands of readings and become one of the few people in the world with a master of arts in cultural astronomy and astrology from Bath Spa University.

Guided by a philosophy that values simplicity, green living, and the ancient principle as above so below. Steve believes astrology can empower people to understand themselves and act with greater awareness.

His mission is to support a global shift in consciousness by helping individuals think and act for themselves, and to use astrology as a practical tool for self-knowledge, growth, and alignment with earth and cosmic rhythms.

Steve's method centers on diagnostic astrology that [00:02:00] illuminates personal patterns. Life cycles and planetary influences offering clarity, perspective, and guidance for transformation. Before we dive in, I wanna gently invite you to explore everything available for you@karagoodwin.com. It's truly a sanctuary of support for your spiritual journey.

Kara Goodwin: . Well, welcome Steve. I'm, I'm so excited. I'm so honored that you're here. I love your work and I'm just absolutely delighted to have you here. Thanks for coming on. Soul Elevation. My pleasure. I'm looking forward to it. So I actually have been taking your class, I've been doing the recordings of module one, and I'm learning a ton about astrology and, and about you also.

Um, but we'll get to that. But you've been a force in the field of astrology for about, for over 45 years, and I'd love to start with how you found yourself in this work. Oh, that's easy. Um, when I was 15, I left home, joined the Army and I wasn't very good at shooting people or driving tanks. So the Army ran a lot of intelligence tests on me and found out I was really good with, [00:04:00] um, non-Latin language translation.

Steve Judd: So any language that use glyphs symbols. Oh, that's 

Kara Goodwin: interesting. 

Steve Judd: Uh, so when I got, I left the Army when I was 20, and then in 1977 someone showed me an ephemeral, which is like a bus timetable, but it's got planets instead of buses. So you can see the position of every planet for every day. And I realized that with all those numbers going up and down in the column, some getting faster, some getting slower, but there were patterns in those numbers.

And basically that's it with astrology, it's pattern recognition. And then I realized over the next few years that these patterns had meaning. And so I did my first chart. In 1980, and I did my first chart correctly in 1981, when I realized there were times, time changes in different time [00:05:00] zones. And, uh, from about 1998 doing readings has been my only source of income.

I've got my first email in 98. I had my first website in 2000, which doesn't sound, it's only 25 years ago, but that's a long time in terms of websites. Yeah, that's one of the very first to have a website in the astrology field. And um, yeah, we come a long way since I've been on YouTube since, um, it's nearly this year, it'll be 15 years on YouTube.

Kara Goodwin: Wow. 

Steve Judd: So that's something. 

Kara Goodwin: Yes. 

Steve Judd: So, yeah, and, and astrology and the internet were made for each other. They happened at just the right times. 

Kara Goodwin: Hmm, wow. 

Steve Judd: And because I was doing it for 20 years before the internet, I was well grounded by the time the technology took off. I unfortunately, uncomfortable with the technology.

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. I [00:06:00] love that. And you know, one of the reasons that I am learning from you right now through the recordings is that I was personally inspired th to start learning about astrology through. Listening to you on other interviews and you relate to it like a skill. As a skill, like you would learn a language, for example, and that it's accessible to all.

And that I think was a barrier that. I had, for some reason, I didn't really feel like astrology was my thing, because I didn't know it and it didn't, I don't know why I had some sort of block to think that I could learn it. And then I heard you talking about like, everybody should know as everybody should learn astrology.

And for some reason after all these years it was like, oh, I could learn it, you know? 

Steve Judd: A few days ago, I was in a situation, well, it's actually a few weeks ago now. I was in a situation where I was in a chat room with, uh, a woman from [00:07:00] Uruguay, old Astrologers, a woman from Uruguay, a guy from Japan, and a lady from Norway, and the people from Uruguay and Japan didn't have any English.

The native from the had a bit of English, but we were able to have a 15 to 20 minute conversation. Just using the symbols of astrology. 

Kara Goodwin: Wow. 

Steve Judd: So, I mean, we are all practicing astrologers, so there was a lot of facial characteristic and body language involved of it, but we got it. We got it. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. 

Steve Judd: And, um, I'm on record as having called astrology as the, uh, lingua franca of the emerging consciousness revolution.

The language everybody knows and nobody speaks. Mm. So, yeah, it's, it's, it's, this is, its time. They've tried to suppress it for thousands and thousands of years [00:08:00] and failed miserably every single time, even though they've managed to kill all the astrologers most of the time. But, you know, he can't, he can't stop the growth of knowledge, especially spiritual knowledge.

Kara Goodwin: Right. Well, and that relates to this time that we're in right now, and this shift of consciousness and listeners to this show will be well aware of that, um, as a concept and as an experience, you know, the times that we're in. But, um, how have you been seeing and tracking this shift in consciousness as it's approached?

And then also is there anything you can share about what you're seeing in the near future? 

Steve Judd: I became aware of the planetary configurations of 2026,

about 45 years ago. 

Kara Goodwin: Wow. 

Steve Judd: And I looked at it and I thought, oh, I'll be, I'll be 70 then. I don't need to worry about that. I'll probably be dead by then. [00:09:00] And then about 20 years ago, around about 50th Perth, I thought, yeah, I better start looking at this. And there's been lots of stuff going on in the last 20 years.

There's been various grand crosses, big eclipses, multi-plan alignment, six pointed stars. Um,

but it's been like a, an ongoing record of slow, gradual acceleration. Which is escalating, not not moving forward at a linear rate, but at an escalating rate. And this sits my ideas of, um, evolution. Evolution is not moving forward in a linear way. It's, it's an escalating graph curve, which is now approaching prime vertical.

So the buildup to this has been ongoing since. Since COVID, since 2020. [00:10:00] And um, what I find really interesting is that very few astrologers are looking beyond 26.

And that's not to suggest we're in end times, although there is an element of that because we are at the end of our apprenticeship as a species.

We're, we're emerging into fully fledged adulthood. Training is over, and where we go from here, there are no shepherds. There are no guides. We do it for us out. There's no salvation. There's no angels coming down. There's no God. There's no ets, no one's coming to save us. We do it ourselves. And by doing that, we accelerate our [00:11:00] evolution to the point where we become far more than we've ever been.

And that is a lovely idea. The universe is lonely. It needs new energy fields to interact with and. As humans, there's, there's never been in a billion years, there's never been a species on planet Earth, as far as we know. That's capable of self-reflective consciousness, pattern recognition, and the ability to take the piss out of itself.

As humans, no other species has the ability to laugh at itself. Although I'm not sure about cats and um. We are different to, as Terrence McKenna said, human history represents such a radical break to the systems of biological organization that preceded it, that [00:12:00] it must be the response to some type of attractor magnet or dwell point that lies ahead in the temporal dimensions.

He said that in 19 98, 19 99, and here we are at that Omega point of transcendence. Where we're about to enter into a vastly expanded field of consciousness and, uh, and, and all of that. In that, what that entails, it's both extremely terrifying and very exciting. 

Kara Goodwin: So let's go back to what you quoted with Terrance Mc McKenna and the attractor from temporal.

I'm not gonna get it right, but So like something magnetizing us from across time. Through time. Yes. Break that down a little bit for us. How you see it. 

Steve Judd: It seems as if there's something in the [00:13:00] future that's pulling us forward, but it's encouraging us to accelerate the evolutionary process and putting us towards a point.

I liken it sometimes to the idea of us being a pencil and a pencil sharpener, getting to that very fine point at the end where you suddenly break through that minute little hole and boom, you expand into glory. And there are analogies there with the birth canal as well. Mm-hmm. Really tight, getting smaller and smaller.

And then boom, you're out there in the world. So there is something of a, a rebirth, a species rebirth here. 

Kara Goodwin: And so what do you think that attractor is? US

future selves, 

Steve Judd: humans have a capacity for something that no other species has, and that is hope.

And over recent times. [00:14:00] Regularly since I've been alive, I've heard so many people go, oh, things are just getting worse and worse. But it does seem in the last few years since COVID, and particularly in the last few months, the level of atrocity and of appalling behavior from human to human on this planet is at an all time high.

There's very strong similarities here to 19 41, 42, and, um. As a result, more and more people are just pinning their fu hope for the future on a point where we can break free of the horrible energy of this time into something much better. So yes, there's a collective hope and I think that hope, I liken it to fishing lines being thrown into the future or or seeds being planted.

And there is something about. Throwing fishing lights into the future and, and [00:15:00] reeling the future back towards us as much as we are being reeled towards it. And the thing is, this is not just, um, at any time in the last 25 years, this has been about a point in the future. And now it's like, no, that point is here.

This is it. Wow. Let me put it another way, from an astrological perspective. There has never been a time of such intense, concentrated astrological energy in terms of the patterns that the planet's make in the sky for at least well over 10,000 years, and there won't be another time like this as well, not for many thousands of years.

This is a once in a species standalone time. So to my, if I'm being flamboyant or, or making it catchy, [00:16:00] I'll say This is a breakthrough or a breakdown and we move into utopia or dystopia. But that's clickbait. That's sound bites. It's really,

it's really where parts of our brain change from latent into potent. Mm. It's where we start engaging with new circuitry. It's an upgrade of the highest order, and there is a vested interest, unconscious, but still vested interest on the part of what I call the dominator cultures, the dinosaurs, the churches, the corporates, the banks, the politicians, especially the churches to keep us down and subservient.

So that they can, without being, making them nasty, but so they can reap that energy for themselves instead of letting it spread through the [00:17:00] population as it should be. And that is why astrology is such a threat, because at its core, astrology teaches you to know yourself. And if everybody knows themselves, they will naturally and organically tune in to other people who are like-minded.

I mean, for 12 tribes, it's not just a religious metaphor, it's the 12 moon signs. When I put on events, I sometimes put everybody being born with a moon in Aries on one table and the moon in, in Virgo, on one table and just see what happens. It's, it's great. 

Kara Goodwin: I love that you call them moon signs. I mean, I don't know, there might be people listening who are like, well, what are the moon signs?

I only know sun signs. 

Steve Judd: Well, that's how it's been for a long time, but since the advent. Particularly of social media, that alone the internet, there are so many billions of children [00:18:00] now who know their ascendant sign and their moon sign as well as their sun sign. And by moon sign, I mean the astrological sign of a zodiac that the moon was in at the moment of your birth.

And the ascendant is the sign of a zodiac that was coming up on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth, which is why the time of birth is so important. And, um, the more you know about this, the more you get to recognize facets of your own identity, psychology and individuality, which then pieces together into a much more integrated, assimilated, and holistic whole.

And you become more and more aware of your true potential, which is great for us as individuals, but it's terrifying for. People who are wedded or stuck in the old patterns, who, who don't want to change because of fear of the new, [00:19:00] but whereas we're to not change would lead to entropy, which leads to decay and, and extermination changes.

A, a, a fundamental in life, 

Kara Goodwin: right. Well, so you talked about that for what? What was it? 40 years la. You have seen 2026, and we're recording this at the end of January in 2026 that this was gonna be a monumental year. So what are the patterns showing you as the potential for this year? Because I've heard you say that the planets or the, the, the patterns, they, they don't predict, but they, there's a way that you say it.

They don't, you're gonna have to fill, you're gonna have to fill this in for me. They, 

Steve Judd: the [00:20:00] planets impel, they don't compel. 

Kara Goodwin: Impel don't compel. Yes. Uh, I knew it started with a high, but I couldn't get there. 

Steve Judd: Right. Um, Eastern astrology. 

Kara Goodwin: Also known as Veic, right? 

Steve Judd: There's a lot more Vedic for Chinese, has a lot more to do with fate and destiny.

Western astrology is more in tune with free will and self-determination. Neither are better than the other, but they are different systems and the more time goes on, the more different they become. So, um, I'm firmly orientated in the Western tradition. I'm free will orientated all the way. So to me there is no such, there is nothing cast in stone.

Yes, we are here for a mission, a purpose. We vol. I, I firmly believe that we volunteered to come here. And then part of the deal is that once we get here, we forget why we volunteered. We spend the rest of our life remembering. [00:21:00] But that mission statement, we're going, we're all here to do a specific thing.

But the way we choose to do it is negotiable. So you can do it a quick way. All, all a long-winded way. And humans being the way they are, always take the long-winded difficult way because they get seduced. Power and greed and sex and money and chocolate and you know, 

Kara Goodwin: even chocolate. 

Steve Judd: Even chocolate. Yeah.

And sugar. Of course. Of course. But none of these things in themselves are bad. But it's the ability to be strong enough to go, yeah. Moderation. Yeah. Yeah. A little bit here, a little bit there. That's nice. But not to my mind.

Greed is one of the [00:22:00] biggest, baddest words of a lot. I mean, we, we all think of things like fear and power as being challenging, but greed, what's that all about? Why, why must you have more than everyone else? When you realize that 2% of the population owe 98% of the wealth, that is unsustainable, and that's why we're gonna see almost inevitably the financial systems of the world creaking and then breaking down.

That's why I think the only viable solution. To the economic problems of the world. And I've yet to hear anyone tell me why it won't work is a global currency. And yes, whenever I go on about this, I always get a 5% to 10% of people go, [00:23:00] yeah, but if it's one global currency, it'll all be owned by the builder per group.

Or the Freemasons or, or this group. Or that group or, and it's like, but you get conspiracy theories everywhere. I think conspiracy theories in themselves are a conspiracy theory. I've humans aren't that intelligent to be able to make the plots and plans that most conspiracy theories think. The only two conspiracy theories that I still even remotely buy into is I'm still not certain about the Kennedy assassination.

And I find it very difficult indeed to believe that nine 11 was plotted by a bunch of Arab terrorists in a cave in Afghanistan. But that's a personal opinion. I don't expect anyone else to agree with me. But the rest of it, it's just like, come on, get real It. The more you get caught up [00:24:00] in you, you're giving, you're giving all this negative stuff, oxygen.

The more oxygen it gets, the bigger it gets. Whereas if you just, it's like, I'm not gonna mention names, but there are certain figures in the world at the moment who are what I call the psycho pumps. You know, the big, arrogant, big, big, big. And the more you look at them and complain and bitch about them, the, the, the, the more powerful they get.

So, you know, the emperor has no clothes. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. 

Steve Judd: Figures of fun figures of derision. Anyway, I'm old. I can say these things, you know 

Kara Goodwin: well, and so I have 

Steve Judd: no fear of death 

Kara Goodwin: with this. With this relating to 2026 and the impact of this particular year, so are the financial systems, is that a piece that you see being affected this year?

Steve Judd: The [00:25:00] start of it. Yes. Um, as my friend Rick Levine constantly says, just because this is the year where all the big changes are happening, astrologically, what that means is that the seeds are being sown. And from there the future is inevitable. The changes will happen, but they're not all gonna change overnight.

But the, the patterns that are going on in 2026. Are going to continue through 2027. In some cases, 2028 and the the longest ones won't end until 2029. But

if there are no fundamental changes in the way humanity runs, its systems of politics, economics, religion. By 2030, [00:26:00] then we're screwed. Then it's a rapid path to extinction now that even that will take three or 4, 5, 6 generations, but it's inevitable in my opinion. Yeah. All of this is, in my opinion, based on my four, nearly 50 years research.

I sound like a madman to many people. That's fine. But, um, one planet, 8 billion different worlds, we all have different ways of seeing things and I am responsible for my perception. 

Kara Goodwin: Well said. Yeah. Well, it is fascinating to think about the. The bigger picture because you talked about, um, how potent 2026 is and the, the alignments and the patterns in the sky and that we haven't seen this for 10,000 years [00:27:00] and it's not gonna happen again for the, you know, anytime soon.

What do you make of that in terms of the bigger cosmological. Structure of reality. Because you were saying like there's nobody that's coming to save us. There's nobody, there aren't ets, there aren't saviors. There's not. But the fact that we have the support and the energy of the stars and the planets and the stars systems, what does that say to you?

Steve Judd: Tells me we're not alone and yet I don't do God and I don't do et. We're not alone. I realize that's a very confusing statement because you think, well, what's the on about them? I've done a lot of work on the positions of the planets in the sky, their orbital rotation on their axis, and the speed and the distances [00:28:00] they occupy as they spin around the sun.

And most importantly, of all the geometric patterns they make with the other planets. And I've realized. That the accuracy of those patterns is somewhere between 99.8 and 99.99% precise. For that to happen, it's it to my mind, it proves, not just suggests, but proves that the solar system is a product of intelligent design.

There is other work going on that I'm aware of just in this last two years since the web telescope was up, which is now suggesting that the relationship between different galaxies has these same geometric patterns. Hmm. The intelligent universe.[00:29:00] 

It is my contention that the universe is lonely. And it occurs to me that I know through my own, uh, here I confess to a crime I committed 40 years ago through my own experimentation with psychedelic mushrooms. I know that our perception is limited to a very narrow frequency of bandwidth. And that outside of that frequency of bandwidth, there are different dimensions of experience where there are different energy fields which can manifest in some people's eyes as different beings varies.

Pixies, grays, ets, crop circle makers who are all indigenous to our planet, but [00:30:00] living in a different space time continuum. And as the density of population increases, so our psychic sensitivity escalates and we become more and more aware of this and that we are heading into a breakthrough where we, where everyone, ev, everyone else who's on this planet's, been waiting for us to make this breakthrough so that we can join into a more multiverse community rather than universal community.

Then we'll rejoin or, or join with, with a true birthright that we're all highly, highly intuitive, if not psychic and, uh, capable of so much more than we've been told we've been doing. We could be so much more. And the underlying force of it all is, here's where I lose a lot of you [00:31:00] love. Mm. Unconditional love.

That's it. That's 

Kara Goodwin: beautiful. 

Steve Judd: It sounds so simple, but you know, 

Kara Goodwin: well, it's funny that you go into the geometry and the orbital spin and all of this like complicated. Um. You know, math and theory and all of this, and then it all comes back to something so simple and so human and beyond human, but you know, everybody can relate to it.

So it's a beautiful symmetry and synergy and yeah, I love that 

Steve Judd: there are many ma, the vast majority of people on this planet have at some stage in their life, experienced love.

Many of 'em have lost it. Some of them have kept, kept it, but to experience that at a global level, [00:32:00] oh, I don't think my tiny brain or my tiny heart is big enough for that. But you know, I aspire to it because what I've realized is that, I'm gonna take this at a tangent now, but I'll bring it back. I found a point in a horoscope long ago that was brought to Western astrology by Madam Blavatsky from the Philosophical Society.

She traveled in India, and when she came back, she bought back a point from Hindu astrology into western astrology. It's called the North node. And she bought with it the Indian Hindu translation of it as having to do with karma and reincarnation. IE, the point of the horoscope where the north node is, shows where you've got to work hardest for least reward, but if you do do this, your soul grows immeasurably and you get a better life next time.

And for 40 years I've struggled with this because I thought this sounds just like a religious guilt trip to me. And then I [00:33:00] realized it comes from a culture where 95% of people have their begging bowl and that's it. Or at least until very recently, that was the way it was. And I realized that what they call karma to me is words like mission statement, purpose, and reason why I volunteered to come to Planet Earth in the first place.

And once I changed my thinking to reflect those ideas, it then started me debating the nature of astrology and I stopped seeing astrology as an it. And I started calling it she, because astrology has life force, it has valence and life force independent, it needs humans to work with it. But it is a force on its own.

And this then led me to ask myself questions about the nature of life and death,

and it made me realize that death as we understand it, [00:34:00] is just yet another religious imposed guilt trip. If you don't behave, you are go to hell. If you do what we tell you, then God will welcome you into the pearly gates. Nah, nah, to me, death doesn't exist. Our bodies die, but our soul is eternal and we just shift dimensions.

I've seen enough death amongst my clients over 45, 50 years to know that, especially when I'm dealing with clients who have been married 50, 60 years. You know, one will die six weeks later, the other one will die after signing the papers. And there's enough anecdotal evidence that comes back to suggest the first one over, gets the party ready for the second one.

And, um, there is continuity. Souls who do form a life lifetime of [00:35:00] attachment have the option of continuity on the other side in some shape or form. How lovely is that? So that is why I, I have no fear of death. Mortality. Yeah. I don't, I mean, I'll, I'd rather have a clean death than lingering in a hospital bed with pills and tubes.

But the actual act of, I sit with Saturn and Pluto on these shoulders, you know, they look at me every so often and smile at me, and I think, yeah, yeah. In time I'm coming. Don't worry. So it. What is that to be scared of? I might be kidding myself. This might just be total rubbish and I might be making it all up, but if I am, I'm really happy in my self delusion works for me.

Kara Goodwin: I love it. I love it. You know, and it's, it's funny, [00:36:00] all of this with what you're, what you've been talking about, the Saturn and the, was it Saturn and Pluto did you say? Yeah. Um, I haven't gotten that far in the astrology, so I'm not sure how the planets play into all of it, but as I've been learning from your course, I, I found myself observing things in a new way.

So a lot of what you're talking about is kind of the evolution of how you observe things. Um, but even. Again, I'm just on the first module. I'm, I'm almost done with it, but I'm just learning about the sun signs and how the, the signs relate to the moon placement and, and, uh, the ascendant. And the midheaven.

Midheaven. Yeah. 

Steve Judd: Yeah. 

Kara Goodwin: Um, but I'm learning so much and I will find myself watching something, like watching a football game, for example, and wondering about the different positions. My mind just naturally goes there now, where I'm like, okay, well there's the leader. So I wonder what their moon is, you know?

And there I, I even was seeing a [00:37:00] jersey that had landman on it, that the guy's name, his birth name, I presume a surname was Landman. And I thought, okay, I wonder. How many earth signs he has in his astrology? 

Steve Judd: There is, there is, there is quite a lot of, um, interest in the astrology of what you call soccer, what we call football over here.

And there are people who have written books on the astrology of football and how a good successful team will have air signs on the wings, who do all the running. And they'll have earth signs at the back in the middle who do all the defending and stand still, and they'll have fire signs at the front in the middle who score all the goals, and they'll have water signs as the coaches and the managers and the medics who do all the nurturing.

You know, this is, 

Kara Goodwin: that's fascinating. 

Steve Judd: But of course astrology is bunum according to scientists and astronomers. So of course it doesn't work because [00:38:00] astronomers and scientists are always right. 

Kara Goodwin: Right. Yes. Well, hmm. I'm curious, you know, because it's not easy for me to profile at this point because I am, again, I'm so new, but I, I understand and a lot about, I mean, it, it makes so much sense about how different signs interact with people.

How you even go into in your course, like the sun sign is how your, I'm going to. You're gonna have to correct me, but you know, one of the, one of the aspects of your chart is how you show up to the outside world. Yes. And then there's part of it where it's like, this is how you actually experience the world, even if it's not what people would guess.

And then, yes. All of these ways that it, they all interact with each other, but how are you just constantly profiling people? 

Steve Judd: Um, 

Kara Goodwin: I could think, I think you couldn't help it. 

Steve Judd: It used to be like that these days. No. Although [00:39:00] sometimes I'll go out and I'll, and I'll see someone who's a right. Peacock, you know, flamboyant and showy and big hair, and I think they got Leo Rising.

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. 

Steve Judd: They've got, you know, and, and, and. Then you see someone who's very strict and sterning and got tight clothes, you think? Yeah, they got a lot of Capricorn. Um, so, but that's archetypal. I don't do it. And I used to sort of, as I walk along, think, oh, I better know what they're, but you never know. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. 

Steve Judd: And the thing is, your guess, and you'll be wrong.

People say, go on, then guess my sign. And I go, no, because I always get it wrong. I always guess the ascendant. Rather than the sunshine. 

Kara Goodwin: Well, that's 

Steve Judd: what i's. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah, that's one of the thing, big takeaways I've had from going through your course is the importance of the ascendant. And I find that in my own life where I'm like, oh, my ascendant, I really [00:40:00] resonate with my sun sign.

I'm like, yeah. I mean, I can see it like communicate. I'm a Gemini, so I'm like communication. Yeah. 

Steve Judd: Private, you know, it's you, it's your soul. Yeah. It's your core. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. 

Steve Judd: And the moon, the moon reflects your feelings. But it's still quite private. But the ascendant is the armor you put on as you go outside the front door, and that's the way the world sees you.

And the midheaven is the way you deliberately project yourself as being. Mm-hmm. So it's like layers of the onion. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. And then there's the houses. Two, which add all of this. So I really encourage people, I mean, just like what Steve was saying in terms of like, this is a way to get to know yourself and to really understand yourself.

It gets so layered and it, it really is fascinating and it brings to light things that are likely hidden, at least some things that are hidden and dormant within us that come to [00:41:00] light. As we engage with the, the understanding of it, and, and I mean, it's helped me to see myself in a more complex and dynamic way.

Steve Judd: I, I, I've, over the last six years I've had had about 800 students on my courses and, um. About 150 of them have gone on to study other forms of astrology or gone to other schools, and of those 800 about.

30 of them have gone on to do serious long-term study and there's seven or eight of them are now full-time practicing astrologers and charging for their, for their efforts. So I've got, you know, 1% of my students are now fully practicing astrologers and that's why I'm doing it to get astrologers out into the world, like what better thing to do?

Kara Goodwin: Right? So. [00:42:00] 

Steve Judd: I, I say if astrology were taught in schools and everyone knew that sun sign, moon sign, ascendant and midheaven, within two generations, we'd CNN to violence, aggression, misogyny, racism, and any type of separatism. Everyone would see each other for what they are and draw, uh, appropriate and correct affiliation with each other.

Kara Goodwin: Yeah, 

Steve Judd: it'd be, it would be perfect. 

Kara Goodwin: Well, and this is, this is another thing that I appreciate from learning astrology. And again, I mean, I'm just kind of, I'm very much scratching the surface. I'm brand, I'm a neophyte, but I. It does help to understand that there's just, if you take for example, what motivates somebody, it.

We can have a tendency as humans to look at [00:43:00] people and they're behaving differently than we are and we see it as wrong because they may have a different motivation for what impels them to take action or you know, what they need in order to take action or, or whatever it might be. We may see it very plainly what they're, you know, how they're behaving and think it's wrong.

You know, why can't they just get up and take care of this? Well, if you have the type of. Sign where you act instantly and maybe too impulsively by some standards. Then you may see somebody else's slow or you know, too cautious or whatever. But by understanding the, the archetypes within the, the signs, to me that really helps to just give, to kinda lower the.

Snap judgements because there is just a different motivating factor. And to be able to be like, oh, okay, well yeah, that makes sense that they would take their [00:44:00] time with that. And there's this benefit to having people who are the opposite to, you know, whatever it might be. I've got, I think I have like.

Five or six air signs and five fire signs or something, and like no earth and maybe one or two water signs. So, you know, I have a, a particular way that I move through the world and it can, you know, if somebody's got a lot of earth signs, I could imagine that I might not be able to understand why they're behaving the way they behave.

Steve Judd: You. It helps to mix the elements together if you've got a lot of fire. A lot of air. Then if you mix fire and air together, you get firestorm hot air. So it blows through really fast and it warms everything up. If you've got a lot of people who have got say a lot of water and a lot of earth, then that makes mud.

Fire and earth is lava [00:45:00] slow burn. But unstoppable air and water is rain. So you can draw these kind of generalized descriptions, but for every Aries who's gonna be looking at vi Victorian going, oh, they're so damn slow. Vi Tous is gonna be looking at the Aries going, oh, you are so impulsive and not ever a wrong or right.

When they know or when they can see each other's imprint as I suggest it's gonna become more and more obvious at an intuitive level in the near future already happening, then they'll recognize each other's patterns and be able to sort of be a lot more tolerant patient and empathic towards each other.

Kara Goodwin: Right. Yeah. 

Steve Judd: For I can see a time within 20 years where no one's gonna be able to walk into a room carrying a gun where everyone [00:46:00] suddenly going, uh, them and everyone will know. The, the energetic imprint will become so obvious and we will become so finely tuned to it.

It may sound maybe a pipe dream, but I'd like to think that's the way we're headed. 

Kara Goodwin: So when you say that you, that everybody will know, they'll just understand them like why they're carrying a gun, for example? 

Steve Judd: No, they'll just intrinsically pick up the vibe. But this person is fearful or scared or after power or control.

So that's why they're carrying a gun and, and everyone will just instinctively know it. 

Kara Goodwin: Mm-hmm. Yeah. 

Steve Judd: I know now,

I was at a conference the day before yesterday of all the, uh, various people who have over the last 20 years have been doing the degree I did in the, the ma in [00:47:00] cultural astronomy and astrology. And, um, I was observing some of the more recent students, some of the people I did it with 20 years ago were, were masters of our trade.

I see the others who are sort of in their twenties and young thirties and they're like. Eager to please. But, and, and you can tell just by looking at them that sometimes by their facial expression or by the clothes they wear, you can have a reasonable guess as to what ascendant they are and quite possibly what moon they are as well.

And you've, you're gonna be right sort of 40% of the time. That doesn't make you better or worse than anyone else, but it does give you a different edge and a different way of seeing the world. Astrologers aren't better or worse than anyone else. They just have a different way of perceiving the world because they see it in a macro way instead of a micro way.

It's not just about you and the immediate environment. It's about the effects on the world at any given time. And [00:48:00] the cosmos. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. Well it's fascinating when you're talking about, you can just look at the way somebody's dressed or how they're acting and, and again, going kind of into that, a little bit of the profiling, but that was an unexpected thing that I'm learning too, is the facial.

You talk about some of the facial or even like beyond the face, you know, the neck or the legs or whatever. But these different attributes, um. That they, you know, they, they typically have their eyebrows raised or a high forehead or whatever. And what I find so interesting, not only that, but I was talking with a friend who is reading a book on traditional Chinese medicine, and it's to do with the facial recognition as well of, you know, diagnosing somebody in the same way.

And then somebody else in the conversation started talking about. Triangulation and how you, I mean, there are so many different methods that you [00:49:00] can use the physical, how somebody physically presents and it can, you can like diagnose them or you can understand their astrology or you can understand all of these, these things.

You know, you can look at somebody's ear and do it. You can look in their iris, you can look at their palm like, and they're all telling, 

Steve Judd: it's all, it all points. To a time long, long ago, before recorded history where things like urology, iridology, astrology were all linked. And I suggest this was way before the flood when we perhaps we as a species were much more ripe brained than left.

I, I suggest a flood and we kind of know when this happened because it's in records of every culture. When that happened, it shifted the whole species from right brain to left. 'cause it had to be for survival. [00:50:00] But before that, there's, it seems to me, a safe assumption that we're all much more instinctively and intuitively linked than we are now.

And I'm not suggesting we're heading back into that way, but I'm looking now at a time of. Lobel sharing, right and left brain meeting together, there's that little bridge between the hemispheres called the Corpus Callum, and we know that 300 years ago, it was the width of half of my little finger. And now it's doubled, if not tripled in width.

Really in the last four or five generations, something is happening in our brain chemistry. 

Kara Goodwin: Wow. 

Steve Judd: We are evolving, and this is why I look at what's happening in the [00:51:00] world, and I realize how desperate the power brokers are to maintain their grip by doing whatever they have to do. To stop this type of knowledge or psychic sensitivity from becoming more common.

But they tried to get rid of astrology forever, and it keeps, it's outlived every empire, every religion, every culture. 

Kara Goodwin: What do you think when we talk about these, these power brokers today and those who hold massive amounts of power? What do you think about evolution and that model that we're living in right now?

I mean, are they evolving? Like I, that's part of it that I'm wondering too, like, will they also evolve and appreciate, you know, community and equality [00:52:00] and I, 

Steve Judd: I truly hope so. A lot of people go, I can't wait for them to get their comeuppance. Oh, really? Looking forward to seeing them getting their due desserts for all the cruel things they've done.

And I'm like, yeah, okay. I understand why you're saying that, but viewed from a planetary perspective, you can't be selective of who goes forward and who doesn't. You gotta take everyone with you. Yeah. And that means everyone. So. Some people may have to be kind of gently nudged, perhaps even kicking and screaming, but you know, it will get easier and easier.

Yeah. As more people move towards, oh God, this is gonna sound me, maybe sound really tweed. Now as more people move towards the light, so the remaining people who are still dwelling in the dark will find that they're. Getting pulled towards getting moved forwards. It [00:53:00] has to happen. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. 

Steve Judd: Well, it doesn't have to, but the alternative, as I say, is extinction.

And there's, I know that no names, but there are people out there who have got their own islands and their own private security force on our own escape rooms and bunkers. But you know, there's not gonna be anyone to do their washing. Or, or fill their supermarket shelves, you know, that's just, that's just so narrow minded, 

Kara Goodwin: right?

Yeah. 

Steve Judd: Um, that's why I feel that the most important thing to balance is not so much the fear or the power, it's the greed. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. Right? '

Steve Judd: cause what we're always saying, my religion is better than yours, or, I've got more money than you. But it makes someone better than the people below them, and that is, it seems so antiquated to me.

Kara Goodwin: Right. [00:54:00] 

Steve Judd: It's such a 19th century way of dealing with things. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. Well, Steve, I wanna be respectful of your time. I could talk to you forever. I hope you'll come back. But, uh, what a blessing to have you here today and a joy I've, I've loved this conversation. Please tell people how they can connect with you and find out more.

Steve Judd: Oh, easy. Um, I don't do Instagram, but my tech, my tech guy does, he's, I dunno where it's Steve Jet Astrology on Instagram. Certainly Steve Jet astrology on YouTube. My email is all over the internet and I do re everyone who asked for a reading, I do get back to 'em at the mo. There was a two and three quarter year rating list.

It's down to 23 months now. Um, and I do get back to everyone in time. In time. Um, throwing money at me helps get to the top of the list. I'm also doing a big gig this year. Couple of big gigs. I'm working with Penny Thornton. [00:55:00] Uh, her and me are doing decoding with Divine two south of Bristol. In the uk we've sold out of residential seats, but there are lots of day tickets available for that.

And then in mid-May, we're doing Decoding with Divine at Easter, uh, in mid-May. I'm renting 136 bedroom hotel just outside London, and it's me, penny Thornton, Rick Levine. Darby Costello and Alex Trau, if we're doing shifts happen too. The next transit, the best astrologers in the world, and there'll be about 150 people.

Last time it was 110 people from 21 different countries. 

Kara Goodwin: Wow. A 

Steve Judd: tribe. 

Kara Goodwin: Yes. 

Steve Judd: So yeah, and you could find out all about that by just looking at my YouTube channel, Steve Judge Astrology, all the information's there. And I would leave your listeners with one comment, if I may 

Kara Goodwin: please. 

Steve Judd: When, when I got my first email in 1998, I didn't, I was like, oh, what's this electronic [00:56:00] communication?

Okay, let's try. And immediately I thought, well, there's, there's, there's no other Steve Judd on the internet, or there wasn't then. There's lots of them now. Um, and I thought, how do I make myself stand out? This young 13-year-old who's now in his nearly 40, said to me, you need a tag. I said, what's a tag? He said, you know, a tag.

I can paint, spray. I, all right. He says, you need a tag on your email. So I come up straight away, just something popped into my head and its at the end of every email I write, and it would've been on the end of the email. So I wrote to you, negativity can't exist where there's humor. Wherever there is joy and humor, you don't get negativity.

So find the joy. 

Kara Goodwin: Beautiful. 

Steve Judd: I'll make it sound so simple. 

Kara Goodwin: That's all we need. 

Steve Judd: That's all we need. 

Kara Goodwin: Beautiful. Thank you so much, Steve. I really love this. Thanks for coming on. [00:57:00] 

Steve Judd: Hey, my pleasure, Cara. It's gone so fast. 

Kara Goodwin: I know. 

Steve Judd: Yes. Yeah, I, I deal with so many people. I do a lot of interviews and some of them I'm like, yeah, right.

Yeah. And some of them it's like, wow, this is really good. And this is one of the latter. So thank you. 

Kara Goodwin: Well, thank you so
