As we dive into this episode, we find ourselves in the last quarter moon cycle—a perfect opportunity to release old emotions, thoughts, and beliefs that no longer serve our journey. With Mercury now direct and the energy of Venus in play, we are poised for significant shifts and awakenings. Taurus season has arrived, grounding us amidst the ongoing changes and inviting us to reflect on our soul's journey and trust our intuition. In this episode, I'm thrilled to welcome Kevin B. Turner, a shaman, teacher, and author of “The Secret Fire of Alchemy”. Kevin shares insights on alchemy, Kriya Yoga, Shamanism, and how we can upgrade our psychic circuitry for deeper spiritual understanding. Key Discussion Points: - The significance of the current l

In this episode, we explore the powerful cosmic shifts occurring as we navigate the aftermath of the April Full Moon, Mercury's direct motion, and Venus's dance with Saturn. We also discuss Neptune's significant entry into Aries for the first time since April 1861, the impact of solar flares, and the ongoing expansion of consciousness. With the strong presence of Saturn energy and Venus in retrograde, this is a pivotal time to examine your relationship with love, money, beauty, and wealth. You may find yourself grappling with feelings of loneliness, separation, and lack. However, this raw energy invites us to co-create a new chapter for humanity—a "New Earth," as Eckhart Tolle describes, amidst this wave of consciousness expansion. The rece

Spring has officially arrived, bringing with it a burst of life—green buds, blooming flowers, and vibrant dogwoods and cherries are all around. It's a beautiful reminder of growth and transformation, especially as we emerge from the energetic eclipse portal that has been influencing us recently. On a brighter note, Mercury will soon end its retrograde phase and go direct on April 7th. This marks a significant shift, not only in the cosmos but within ourselves and the global political landscape. These changes ripple through every aspect of our lives, urging us to embrace the momentum. Astrologers have been buzzing about the cosmic shifts we’

As this podcast airs, we find ourselves in the eclipse season, which brings a mix of highs and lows, unexpected events, or perhaps a sense of calm. That's the intriguing nature of eclipses—planets are in motion, and the sun, moon, and earth are aligning. The stars are shining bright, and the days are becoming longer. There's a lot of cosmic energy at play. We are also experiencing a shift in consciousness as we transition through different ages, known as Yugas. What does this mean for you? How can you become more aware and willing to expand your consciousness? It's important to step out of your comfort zone and let go of the things that keep you stagnant. I understand how tempting it is to cling to what feels familiar. It’s easy to think th

The days are lengthening, and nature is beginning to bloom in my area. However, we're still experiencing significant fluctuations—one day it's warm, the next it's chilly.

We notice this in our weather patterns, the political arena, and even the transitions of everyday life. How does it show up for you? For me, as we discuss this topic in today's episode, it manifests in the differences between being in the 5th dimension versus the humanness of the 3rd dimension. It’s about finding ways to balance. We are coming into the full moon energy; the light is returning, and the days are getting longer, little by little. Things are getting exciting, as astrologer Armand Diaz mentions in his forecast around the Leo Full Moon on the 12th. From the 10th to the 12th, the Sun, Moon, and Mercury come into alignment with revolutionary Uranus.  So I say aga

As I go to record this podcast, we find ourselves in Big changes all around us… cosmically, politically, and spiritually.  How are you handling it.  Most of us don’t like change. Most of us are caught in the comfort zones of our lives… even when they aren’t helping us to reach out goals, improve our health or create the partnerships we desire. We get lost. We create behaviors that add to it.  We stuff down emotions which become shadows that we hide from. We have the New Moon coming in  the sign of Aquarius which also ushers in the Chinese New Year… The year of the Wood Snake. This New Moon energy is going to start speeding things up. As we say in the South… buckle up buttercup… meaning ground your energy to stay centered. It is a time to ta

As this podcast goes to air, we’ve moved through the first full moon of the year, which offers us a time to go deep within, feel our emotions, and access the deepest resources of our intuitive selves. What is your soul saying to you? Where are you on your path? Or are you just going along… doing your routine.. trying to stay ahead of it all? Without asking these questions.. and just keeping yourself on the treadmill of life.. it can be very exhausting.. and it can create burnout. There are many ways you can shift out of your old ways.. the limited beliefs of your mind… and open up to expanding your consciousness as we have been talking back over the last few months. We are at a precipice right now with so much change coming forward. Full mo

It’s in the sign of Cancer, which means this can be a time of emotional clearing, sensitive feelings, and deep intuitive insights from the messages you are receiving.   A lot is going on in the cosmos as we start off the year.  The tendency is to feel the call for action. Yet Mars – the planet most associated with action – is retrograde until late February. Just as we’re pushed to go forward, we are also held back a little. The messages that have been coming in for me confirm this - it’s a time to slowly come into this year… to take it one step at a time..so that you can receive messages for yourself. We are in a time that shows us it’s important to know our own will, to not overr

Yeah. That's kind of how it was for me too.  So here we are. New year. We just had a new moon. Setting those intentions.  So important to also recognize  The year you had, what you want to bring forward, and what you want to leave behind. So as we open up to this new year,  we recognize the season of winter where I am, Winter always brings us deep into our soul.  Time to do that work with our deep lessons. It's all the many experiences and lifetimes that we've traveled and lived and learned. It also brings us into our family, our ancestral energies. What can we learn? What do we honor? And what do we then step up in our own life to shift, to chang

As this podcast goes to air, we have officially moved into the new season of Winter and the sign of Capricorn… an earth element.. helping us to ground so that we can begin to feel our Spirit pulling in.  Winter is a time to do soul work.  To dream and vision. We have a blue new moon coming in on the 30th.. a second new moon in December.. allowing us the opportunity to renew our intentions for the year ahead. How funny that we start out with the energy of WTF.. Wed … Thurs… Friday .. and it is an indicator of the energy coming up.. anything and everything can occur.  If you don’t have a spiritual practice, now is the time to start one. I can help you with this. It is a time to shed old programming and a spiritual practice can help you with that.  It’s wh

It’s the Winter Solstice.  A day, a cosmic occurrence where we recognize the transition of seasons and we honor the light.  It’s the shortest day and the longest night of the year.  From this point forward the light will grow longer.  There are a lot of astrological forces happening during this Capricorn season creating big changes and shifts in the energetic realm.  I am noticing a lot of messages coming in every day to me. I’ve noticed my meditation times are increasing and I am loving that. What are you noticing? Are you allowing yourself time to pause? Are you using your practices? It’s a time to go beyond your old beliefs! Working in the the Akashic Realm is so valuable. It gets you out of your mind.  It opens up space … it breaks through time.  It’s a realm of possibility. This realm helps you connect to your dreams,  intuition, and visions.  It is about paying attention and Incorporating the divine into your everyday life rather than just living in the mind, the intellect. If you don’t have a spiritual

As this podcast goes to air, we moved through the 12/12 portal of light.  A portal that has helped us to open up to our Spiritual growth. It's a reminder to trust in the timing of your life and have faith that things will work out.  The number 1212  represents prosperity, contentment, and joy.  We have a Full Moon in Gemini, which brings in so much information that can be overwhelming combined with all the holiday activities. If you don’t have a spiritual practice, now is the time to start one. I can help you with this. It is a time to shed old programming.   It’s why I teach what I teach and mentor people to help hold that accountability. It’s so easy to start something and then stop … Hey.. I’ve been there but having someone will help you to succeed.

As this podcast goes to air  we have moved through Thanksgiving and officially, if we haven't already said that in the holiday season.  I am traveling. I had the great honor of traveling out to Seattle to be with my family. I usually am the one to host Thanksgiving. It's always been my holiday. The kids come to me or I used to go to my parents during Thanksgiving. But this year, we changed it up. I let my son do the cooking out in his new home out in Seattle. Him and his wife and my daughter joined us as well.  You know, it's really great when we can allow for changing and shifting and open up to the flow of life. So often we get stuck in our patterns and our habits.  And we don't want to change. We want that tradition no matter what. But what a great w
