This episode took a couple of days to contact me, and I was surprised that it turned out to be about using the "Wisdom of the Moon" for creating a personal and unique planning and life guidance path. I trust that as you listen, you'll be delighted and surprised too. I've used the guidance of the Moon and lunar cycles for years. But as I was putting this episode together I received intuitive insight that this way of life planning needs to be shared with others. What's exciting about using the Moo...

In this absolutely fascinating, insightful and soulful episode, here's your invitation to get a cup of your favorite beverage and get comfortable. I'm still smiling from the wonderful conversation with the Master Teacher, Artist, Guidess and founder of Journey Path Institute, Cat Caracelo. Even though she and I have spoken many times over the years, it's always a joy to learn something new from one another. The reason this episode is a not to be missed one , has to do with this New Moon and Sola...

In this episode I begin with the feeling of stepping through the 11:11 Gate Way Portal into the inspiration of synchronicity. Each year there's an opportunity to use the energetic frequency of 11:11 to see our lives in a more expanded way. This double 1 resonates with being awaken to the potential that is revealed in our astrology and life map/blueprint. Specially, I talk about how 11:11 2021 has and is providing a pathway for a deeper re-emergence of the Divine Feminine archetype through recogn...

In this episode, I'm feeling into the conversation with my own "inner Scorpio" energy. More and more I encourage you to have conversations with the signs and planets. These cosmic messengers have much to share with us as we learn to listen. I was just reading an article about developing a meditation practice, and the thought just occurred , why not do a brief "moon time" moment. Today is the New Moon in Scorpio, and you will hear me describe my conversation with it and its guiding/ruling planets...

In this episode I talk about how pivotal this Full Moon in Aries is for us. I encourage you to listen, take steps and create your own plan for, " Saying Yes to the New You". The essential message in this conversation is that you and I are facing a decision about who's going to take charge of our life directions. Who is really in charge of living our lives? I speak about the time we live in as being one filled with uncertainty. Yet this is the time of "grand adventure" if we choose to make it so....

The sign of Libra is highlighted during this Solar and Mercury retrograde cycle. Libra is the sign associated with the symbol glyph of the "Scales.

It's been quite a long spell since my last episode. You may have noticed some changes. Indeed things have shifted quite a bit. I'm on a new show hosting journey. As you listen to this episode, I talk about Monica being on hiatus so she can give more support to her family members. During the first half of this episode I discuss the astro-weather report on the importance of embracing and understanding the significance of Full Moon in Pisces. In the second part, I have the pleasure of talking with ...

In this last episode before we take a month break, Ruth and Monica look at the what's in the stars this summer. We look to the gorgeous Indigenous made The Gentle Tarot to guide us with its lovely nature imagery. We talk a lot about retrogrades, even though Mercury is now direct, Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune have all begun their retrograde cycles. We also connect our recent eclipses with the two that are coming in November and talk a lot about how to use that energy for manifestation and transfo...

In this episode, Ruth and Monica dive into what eclipse season brings to all of us. We could really all benefit from finding some space to reflect on the bigger picture or it would be easy to get mired in the small stuff. The power of the lunar eclipse in Sagittarius in the end of May will be with us for at lease 6 months, so opening up to the large meanings and cycles is helpful in working with this big energy. Our cards from the Brady Tarot give us some insights into the cicadas' message to us...

It's Taurus season, and Venus is in her home of Taurus. There is so much wisdom here about connecting in with nature and our inner wildness - perfect for loving our earth as well. Venus is joined by the sun and Mercury, and all three converge on Uranus! Ruth calls it the Taurus council and we listen to its counsel for us. There are some tricky moments, and tuning into Venus and the Divine Feminine will help us open to the rebirth and "becoming" that is here for us. Using the beautiful Illustrate...

It's Pisces season everyone! And this lovely water sign has so much to teach us about stepping back and taking the long view of ourselves and our world. In a time when everyone wants everything now, we can lean in to slowing down and having some dream time. Ruth reminds us that the 12th house, the Pisces house, is known as the dustbin - where all the un-dealt-with stuff resides. It's time to clean up those old hurts so that we can be in the creativity and flow that Pisces can offer us. Our three...

As we are now in Pisces season, it's fitting that we are all about ships this week. Our ship is called The Rite of Passage and it takes us far away from what we've always known and closer to our true selves. How can we even hear the Call of our true purpose when we are mired in layers of what others and society thinks we should be? The Aquarian energy of now is calling us to a new vision - will you answer the Call? A little correction - we mistakenly said that Pluto was in Aquarius, Pluto is sti...

Well it's certainly been an intense beginning to 2021 and as always Ruth and Monica look to the stars and cards to guide us. In this episode we confront our own anxiety, negative self-talk and other ways we can sabotage ourselves. Ruth helps us understand the energy of squared planets, and we feel into the push of Mars and Uranus both in Taurus. We have some edgy sword tarot cards to warn us of the dangers of being too much in our minds and enough in our hearts. Thank goodness the Page of Wands ...

As we continue to move through chaotic times, we can look to the asteroids Pallas Athena, Eris and Vesta for their guidance on leaning in to the divine feminine and self care. We are still in a very intense time of change and transformation, as that continues we can connect in with our bodies and the senses to help us. Mars and Uranus in Taurus can be a volatile combination, but being in Taurus they remind us to seek beauty and stillness. And of course Pluto in Capricorn continues to be the powe...

So much going on in the cosmos to end 2020 with a bang!! In our last episode of 2020, we go into the energy of Sagittarius and Gemini - how the two eclipses will continue to help us integrate all parts of ourselves. We look at the Lovers as the perfect card to move us into 2021 to help us overcome our beliefs about separation - both within ourselves and with others.

Things don't always go as planned and technical difficulties kept this episode from being aired a few days ago (as planned). That's part of what we are all learning now, that we don’t have control and that when we let go of our illusions we can lean into the freedom that opens up for us. Working with the beautiful Messenger Cards by Sandra Kunz, we dive into our illusions which are highlighted by Mercury in Scorpio. As we move through the final weeks of 2020, the full moon eclipse in Gemini help...

Yes, we are still in intense times. And with the upcoming holidays and all of the Scorpio energy urging us to let go, let go and let go some more, we may be feeling kinda done. It's just in time then for Sagittarius season with the Sun and Mercury moving into this fire sign and help us remember our own inner light. Venus, however is moving into Scorpio and so we are still uncovering so much that is hidden. Our cards, especially the majors of the Moon and Strength cards, are guiding us through th...

After a week off, Monica and Ruth dig down deep during Scorpio season and unpack all the things. We tackle healing the divide after the US election - hint: it's all about working on ourselves. Mars is direct in Aries so we get clear about fear and reactivity. And we see what the Wheel of Fortune wants us to know. Along with lots of laughter and fun digressions (and maybe a deck idea?) we take you along for the ride into connecting with our own souls. Let's have an Astrology Conversation. I look ...

So much going on right now, our nervous systems need a break! And Venus moving into Libra plus this Full moon/Blue moon in Taurus can help with the divine feminine energy of beauty and receptivity. We tap into the ancestral wisdom open to us at this time of year to receive even more messages of letting go of whatever is blocking us from stepping into our zone of genius.
