Episode 7

The Integration of Traditional and Non-Traditional Planets in Astrology

Published on: 26th February, 2026

The principal focus of this podcast episode is the exploration of conceptual astrology, a practice that transcends traditional astrological frameworks by incorporating a broader array of celestial bodies and their implications. I elucidate my methodology, emphasizing that I do not confine myself solely to the traditional planets but rather incorporate a comprehensive spectrum of astrological influences to enhance my analysis. For instance, I delve into the exaltations of planets and their connections to various aspects of human experience, including linguistics and medical themes, thereby demonstrating the intricate interplay between astrology and real-life phenomena. Furthermore, I share my practical applications of this conceptual framework, particularly in the realm of storytelling and music, where I have guided individuals, such as musicians, to derive astrological insights that inform their creative processes. Ultimately, this episode serves to illuminate the multifaceted nature of astrology and its potential for practical utility in diverse contexts.

Takeaways:

  1. In conceptual astrology, we do not restrict ourselves solely to traditional planets.
  2. The exaltations of planets provide valuable insights into real-life themes and applications.
  3. I utilize astrology to enhance storytelling by incorporating astrological charts into narratives.
  4. The practical application of astrology includes analyzing financial and promotional aspects of creative projects.
  5. Conceptual astrology allows for a deeper understanding of individuals through their astrological configurations.
  6. I teach students to integrate astrology into their artistic expressions, such as music and performance.

Speaker A:

Does conceptual astrology use the traditional planets or do you use.

Speaker A:

I use them all.

Speaker A:

I'm not.

Speaker A:

I'm not going to limit myself to traditional planets.

Speaker A:

So I'll give you example.

Speaker A:

So, so Aquarius is.

Speaker A:

Is Uranus for you.

Speaker A:

It's a run.

Speaker A:

Is ruled, but it's also co.

Speaker A:

Ruled by Saturn.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

No, I was just asking.

Speaker A:

I started to use it on linguistics as well.

Speaker A:

So, for instance, you know how you have.

Speaker A:

All right, I started using linguistics and concepts.

Speaker A:

You know how you get high, you get the munchies?

Speaker A:

Well, you know, Neptune is exalted in Pisces.

Speaker A:

I'm sorry, Neptune.

Speaker A:

I mean, Venus is exalted in Pisces and Venus is ruled towards what you eat, you get when you eat, right?

Speaker A:

And Pisces when you get high.

Speaker A:

And so therefore you get the munchies when you get high.

Speaker A:

So I started looking at the exaltations and showing how, you know, the bone marrow in your body is produced by the red blood cells, right.

Speaker A:

The calcium.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And we see how Mars is exalted in Capricorn.

Speaker A:

You see Capricorn.

Speaker A:

So I started looking at things like that, even in medical strides, like, oh.

Speaker A:

And I started seeing how.

Speaker A:

How at first I was just conceptualizing what story and meant, but then I started using on real life themes and conceptions in astrology, even in the linguistical value.

Speaker A:

You know, I started seeing people in their charts like, you know, Martin Luther King may say, I have a dream.

Speaker A:

And then I would look in his chart and see where that configuration conceptually was.

Speaker A:

I'm like, ah.

Speaker A:

And that would help me actually better delineate his chart.

Speaker A:

So I started using it for other things.

Speaker A:

And then a practical use for it was when I create stories, the story has a birth time.

Speaker A:

And even though I write the story by the conceptual chart, that chart actually has a second house, how that story can make money, a ninth house, how you promote that story, a seventh house, the people you partner with to make that story come to fruition.

Speaker A:

So I started having a practical application for it.

Speaker A:

So then I taught a student who was a musician, a rapper, a conscious rapper by the name of Khalid Scientific.

Speaker A:

I said, I want you to wrap your chart.

Speaker A:

That song I sent you.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

The first thing he says, first thing he says, sun is in Taurus, Scorpio at the rising.

Speaker A:

And he goes around his whole child.

Speaker A:

He raps it, right?

Speaker A:

He started putting it in his music.

Speaker A:

And I started asking him, do or do an album.

Speaker A:

What date was the album thought of?

Speaker A:

Put the.

Speaker A:

We.

Speaker A:

We put up the chart of that date.

Speaker A:

And then I was like, what's the second house of that?

Speaker A:

What's the second house ruler?

Speaker A:

Where's the ninth house ruler?

Speaker A:

We built a financial.

Speaker A:

A financial and marketing program for that album, and he would be successful with it based on the conception of the album.

Speaker A:

So when conception astrology was more conceptual, I also developed a mechanical use for it.

PAUL HEATH

I am Paul. When I reflect back on my life, I was always interested in astrology. I would read my daily horoscope in the newspaper every day and often wonder, “how do they know?”
One day I was told I am a “cusp of beauty”, because my birthday was the last day of Virgo. I went home to research what cusp of beauty meant. My curiosity soared when finding out the meaning. I didn’t realize that I had just begun the journey of “Know Thyself.”
Learning how to read my natal chart I acquired the skills to assist others with deciphering their own chart-energy. Astrology has helped me understand and accept me for who I am. Although still work in progress, knowing about myself is surely making the process easier. I enjoy helping others (Virgo Sun) with the information I have gathered (Gemini Rising) that will help transform lives (Scorpio Moon) in a positive way.
I look forward to meeting and working with you as we embark on your journey.
