Happy new year! 🥂 We’re back from our Christmas break with a brand new season! This first episode of 2026 is all about astrology. Let’s find out what the new year has in store for us according to our yearly horoscope! We talk about our zodiac signs (sun, moon and rising) to find out with what sign we identify the most. We share which traits we can really see in the other person and which traits are more hidden. We discuss if our zodiac signs supported us in our decision to move abroad and if so, which signs were the most helping.
Also we’re talking about astrocartography: It maps your birth chart onto the globe to show how different places on Earth influence your life (very interesting!). Last but not least we share our funniest and most dramatic moment of last year where the true colors of our zodiac sign really showed.
Enjoy listening and don’t forget to rate the podcast and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform, like Spotify – it will help more hearts find our little corner of the world.
With love, April Betts & Anna Jirina.

Astrology explained
Ever since we can remember, we’re into astrology. Astrology is a great way to learn more about yourself (and others). It can help you to make decisions and to find a deeper meaning in life. Also it can help improve the relationships with yourself and others, by understanding more about people’s behavior, emotions and reactions. In the episode we dive into our sun, moon and rising sign to get a complete overview of our personality traits, how we deal with emotions and how we make decisions. We share with what sign we feel most aligned and we talk about how other people perceive us – and how that can be different than how we perceive ourself.
Astrocartography
Astrocartography (relocation astrology) maps your birth chart onto the globe to show how different places on earth influence your life. It reveals locations that elevate specific personality traits or general areas like relationships, career or creativity. Astrocartography is already around since the 1970s(!) and it’s a great way to find out which places are more meaningful, powerful and transformative for you. Different places can awaken different versions of ourself. Astrocartography matches places to planets which are cosmically aligned with our destiny.
You can calculate your astro map here for free (no spon!). It can be hard to read the map, so we definitely recommend using this blog about how to interpret your chart lines.
