Integrating the lessons of eclipse season 08.07.2020

We are on the heels of the powerful full moon lunar eclipse on Sunday.  This brought us a lot of emotional upheavals but it’s also going to shed some light on where we’re going for the next six months.  We’ve also had a lot of retrograde this summer, lots of big astrology. But the real work will come from reflecting, integrating, and implementing.  It’s an opportunity to process and muse about how...

Cast your vision for the rest of the year 01.07.2020

Mars is in Aries right now and that is going to help you set a plan for your future.  This next month is going to feel like a huge step in the right direction, with a lot of forward momentum.  But because we are still in eclipse season and we don’t have all of the information yet, we can’t really run with it.  Instead, let’s pump the brakes a little bit and ask ourselves, “What can I do to make th...

In the throes of eclipse season 23.06.2020

We have lots of Cancer energy right now which can make us feel nostalgic. A lot of emotional stuff will come up this week.  Give yourself space to feel it and reflect on it.  This is a great time to look at our relationships and our values and how those two things can be connected. Venus will help bring us clarity here.  Who do you want to be and where do you want to be at the end of this year?  B...

The emotional rollercoaster we've been expecting 17.06.2020

This eclipse season is showing us the cracks in our society and across the world, the shadow side.  But they also give us the opportunity to make a change, do the work of connecting with our intuition, and put one foot in front of the other in a different way.  This new moon solar eclipse lacks clarity.  So, know that you don’t have to make a decision today. This is a year of up-leveling, of const...

A moment to rest before the next eclipse 10.06.2020

Last week was the first in a series of eclipses that will last through to the end of 2021.  So while we started a new story last week, we’re also moving into a new moon solar eclipse next week that will wrap up some of our previous stories from the past couple of years. Eclipse season is about tuning in to where the energetic vibration is taking you physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Pay atte...

Eclipse Season Has Arrived 04.06.2020

Before I get into the astrology of the week. I want to remind you that YOU dictate your fate. The protests, as well as the oppression and murder that has inspired them, are not the doing of the planets. Astrology reveals to us cycles and patterns; the interpretation of those cycles is up to us. We’re constantly co-creating our experience of this life with the planets and with one another. There is...

Keep your eye on the big picture 28.05.2020

We are in Gemini Season which means we have tons of ideas and creativity sprouting around us.  But don’t try to do all the things at once.  This is not the time to focus our energy and go deep. We have a lot of frustration floating around, so do your best to stay positive and focus on the big picture. 3:04 - The pattern we are seeing right now that’s having a pull on how we feel 8:07 - This week M...

Where your thoughts go, your words flow 20.05.2020

This week instead of a lot of shifting energy, we have a lot more Gemini energy, which may leave us feeling energized, or even anxious.  Use this time to focus on your relationships and creativity.  Remain mindful of your thoughts, focusing on meditation, staying positive, and whatever you are creating. 0:50 - How all of the Gemini energy will feel this week 4:22 - How to take this opportunity to...

3 planets retrograde and we get a much needed reset 13.05.2020

We have 3 planets going into Retrogrades this week. Retrogrades are beneficial!  This is an opportunity to reset, renew, revisit, realign, and reflect.  Only when we reflect can we move forward with purpose. This is also a great time to start a meditation practice which will be needed to stay centered as Gemini will be pulling us in many directions. 2:36 - An explanation of what retrograde means 8...

North Node moves to Gemini and challenges our beliefs 07.05.2020

I am excited about the big shift in energy this week. It’s going to present us with opportunities to examine how we view things.  We may also feel some discomfort as we are dealing with some repressed emotions.  But at the same time, it will give us an opportunity to learn how to express ourselves and work on our relationship with ourselves.  1:39 -  What happened last week and how that’s impactin...

Mercury in Taurus brings sustainability 29.04.2020

This is Taurus’s time.  Time to take it easy, go slow, no rushing.  We’ve spent time tearing down the old way and building new and better ways.  Taurus is going to take the new things we’ve built, and help us to settle in and make those changes sustainable. 3:26 – Now that Mercury is in Taurus I talk about what we can expect 4:39 - The theme of the week 7:35 - The characteristics of Mercury and Ta...

Taurus New Moon Invites Us to Create a New World 22.04.2020

This week is all about opening our eyes to what’s happening globally and what we can do to take responsibility in terms of how we move forward so that it has an impact. Overall though, I’m feeling very optimistic for the next week and a half.  I think we’ll start to see some innovation, more predictable timelines, and corruption illuminated.   1:15 – Recap of last week’s astrology 2:25 - What the...

Aries season goes out like a lion 15.04.2020

This week is going to feel like a rollercoaster!  But hang in there, we do have some moments of respite coming.  As we move to the next new moon, it’s also a perfect time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished over the last moon cycle.  Plus, some tips on how to navigate this turbulent week. 2:10 – The sun squared Pluto on Tuesday and why this is a big deal 4:10 - How the stars are affecting politi...

Mars + Uranus get us fired up for a fight 08.04.2020

This is week is one of those moments where you’ll be happy to have astrology. This is going to be like checking the weather before you go out, you want to know if you need an umbrella or sunglasses, you want to prepare yourself for what’s coming down the pike. 1:00 – We are starting the week with Jupiter and Pluto coming together. 4:30 – Why that feeling of restriction is creating innovation. 6:25...

Mars meets Saturn + delivers power to the people 01.04.2020

This week, Mars and Saturn are in full force.  Right now, a lot of us are feeling frustration and confinement.  But it’s also a really good time to tap into our creativity and focus some energy on our relationships. Find out how these game-changing conjunctions are motivating humanitarianism. 1:05 – We are living in a historic period, why that’s not surprising from an astrological standpoint 3:22...

A New Moon Crash Course in Empathy and Selflessness 25.03.2020

Welcome to episode 38 of the Essential Astrocast podcast. Today’s episode is all about putting our health and healing first.  Like Chiron, we cannot heal on our own, and it is important to remember that our community is imperative to our healing.  Find out how we will find ourselves stepping into leadership roles of empathy and selflessness during this shift into the new moon. Watch the video vers...

Fear is excitement without the breath 19.03.2020

I want to start by reminding you that I believe astrology is a tool to better understand yourself and come into deeper relationship with yourself and the people around you. It's a tool for us to dictate our own fate. Join me for this episode as we talk about the excitement and possibility that is available for us to explore now. With the current public health crisis we’re facing there’s only one t...

Are you up for the challenge? 03.03.2020

This week we continue to be in the ocean of the unknown - aka, Pisces season. With the Sun and Neptune meeting up this weekend, the confusion and illusions will be illuminated, and perhaps exacerbated. That means you have to hold your center and ground your energy. It will be a challenge, but I know you're up for it. Listen in for tips on things you can do to maintain your equilibrium this week, a...

Say goodbye to fear and self-doubt 24.02.2020

This week kicks off with a New Moon in Pisces that might inspire you to plant your seed to become the next highest version of yourself. Who do you want to be in 6 months? This is the time to prepare. With the help of Mars connecting with the South Node, you might be able to ditch some of the fear and the self-doubt that has been getting in your way. While you might be energized to take on what's n...

Do you believe in yourSELF? 21.02.2020

This week Pisces season kicks off and our emotions may be running hyper-sensitive. Pisces invites us to understand the connection between our individual self and the collective cosmic SELF. If you've been neglecting your spirit, this next 30 days will inspire you to reconnect with your faith, your ideals, and your beliefs. Make space for meditation, therapy, hot baths, good cries, and deep journal...

Lean into your vulnerability 10.02.2020

This week kicks off with an emotionally loaded date night for Venus and Chiron. Valentine's Day could feel further away! Chiron is the wounded healer that never quite feels like he fits in. We all have a part of us that feels that way like we just don't fit. With the moon and Venus meeting Chiron that part of yourself will be rearing its head. Don’t shy away from this deep stuff, the heavens have...

What's good for me is good for thee 05.02.2020

This week Mercury heads into dreamy Pisces helping us access our intuition and process some of the emotional shockwaves that we haven't had time to unpack since the start of the year. Is it just me? Or is there a lot going on? Meanwhile, Venus takes up space in warrior Aries encouraging us to get real with what we want. No more asking nicely, Venus in Aries demands, but how will that impact your f...

Time to make grown up decisions 28.01.2020

On the heels of the New Moon in Aquarius the planets have our foot on the pedal and we're going forward fast! Venus, Neptune, Mars, and Uranus all play a role this week and illuminating where we're going with our dreams, our creativity, and our relationships. It's kind of like Valentine's Day comes early this week. Is this thing real or was it all a fantasy? Time to commit to the real deal or say...

Channel your passion into a project 20.01.2020

Goodbye rigid, limiting, boundary loving Capricorn & hello freedom-seeking rebel Aquarius. Now that we've got some air in the sky it's time to channel your passion, anger, enthusiasm, and all your emotion into something productive. With a New Moon in Aquarius on Friday, we get to say, "Bye Eclipses!" This is the last week to collect all the information you've been receiving and reflect on how...
