*We had too much fun gossiping and gabbing with Alyssa that this episode is broken into 2 parts ~ This is part 2..go back and listen to part 1!
In this episode, we’re joined by the fabulously iconic Alyssa Polinsky — her instagram is where astrology gets dressed up in designer and spills the Bravo-flavored tea. 🫖
Alyssa is your go-to astrologer for all things stylish and unhinged. She’s the creator of StarsxAlyssa, where birth charts meet Bravo, fashion gets cosmic, and every Mercury retrograde is a meme waiting to happen. 💅✨
From Venus sign styling tips to zodiac roast sessions, Alyssa blends astrology, pop culture, and 20+ years of fashion experience into content that’s equal parts chic and chaotic. You might’ve caught her on Summer House or heard her hot takes on your fave podcasts—but really, she’s just here to make the stars make sense (and look good doing it). 💁♀️
Whether you're astrology-obsessed, Bravo-addicted, or just here for the laughs and lewks, this episode is serving it all.

Buckle up, witches — 2025 is not a quiet year in the cosmos. In this episode, Taylar and I dive deep into the major astrological transits unfolding this year, including the powerful planetary shifts that only happen once in a generation (or longer). With several outer planets moving into new signs, we’re entering a brand new era — collectively and personally.
We explore what these long-term planetary transits mean, reflect on historical moments from the last time these energies moved through the zodiac, and share how this wisdom can help us prepare, stay grounded, and find hope through times of transformation.
If you’ve been sensing that something major is in the air — you’re right. But don’t worry: we’re in this together. Let’s navigate the stars with curiosity, courage, and a little witchy magic.
