EP 147: Mercury Retrogrades into 2023

We’re still in the midst of Mars retrograde in Gemini, and on December 29th the slowdown gets amplified by Mercury retrograding in Capricorn. I know, it’s not what you want to hear heading into the New Year. Take this Capricorn season to reflect, slow down, and feel your body. From that place of grounding in what is, you will be able to cast a vision for where you want to go.

EP 146: Full Moon in Gemini

This week the big news is the Full Moon in Gemini conjunct Mars, currently retrograde. Emotions will be running high, but don't worry if you say something you didn't mean, you can always take it back. Gemini is a changeable sign and with Mars retrograde in the sign of the twins whatever decisions you make now will need to be revisited in January, and maybe even again in March.

EP 145: End of Eclipse Season

This week may have started off as an emotional tidal wave, but as the week comes to a close you might regain that pep in your step.

EP 140: Mars slows down in Taurus

This week the planetary energy moves from mostly fire + air to mostly water + earth. After pushing energy outward and screaming at the top of our lungs, we dial it back, lick our wounds, and process our feelings. You can’t run at level 10 forever, sometimes you have to pull back, reset, and prepare for the battle ahead. Stay tuned at the end of the episode for more on the Pluto Return of the USA.

EP 135: Lunar Eclipse + Mercury Cazimi

Eclipse hangover anyone? The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio last Sunday was an intense excavation of your emotional state. Scorpio can be secretive and private.

EP 133: Venus in Aries is coming in hot

On the heels of the Solar Eclipse, Venus enters Aries, and she’s coming in hot! This is not her favorite sign, as Aries is the sign of the warrior, not the lover. You can expect tempers to flare and passions to fly as Venus in Aries can be impulsive or aggressive.

EP 132: Eclipse Season, it's all happening

Every 6 months we get to go on a magical, mystical ride courtesy of the eclipses. They come in pairs (sometimes triples), and always are a force for change. Sometimes the change is an internal shift, an aha moment. Sometimes the change is an obvious life event.

Spring has officially sprung! And that means my Solar Return is upon us. When the Sun returns to the exact spot in the sky where it was when you took your first breath, you experience your solar return, aka your birthday.

EP 127: Full Moon in Virgo + Spring Equinox

Feeling foggy, spacey, caught in a time warp? Yup! It’s Pisces season, but not for much longer. With 4 planets in Pisces, it’s hard to motivate yourself to do anything, but that is OK, Pisces is the season for rest, sleep, dreams, and meditation. This Friday the Full Moon in Virgo puts a final exclamation point on the season of the two fish and Aries season kicks off on Sunday.

EP 126: In the fog of Pisces season

On the heels of a heavy week, the heavens grant us a light week with very few planetary transits! There are no mistakes in astrology. Pisces season is the time for rest, meditation, and recalibrating your nervous system. In plain speak, we’re preparing to crawl out of winter hibernation, rub the sleep from our eyes, and take in the first signs of spring.

Do you smell that? It’s love and commitment in the air this Valentine’s week! The Full Moon arrives in the sign of the heart, Leo.
