In this week’s episode, I had the great privilege of chatting with my dear friend Lisa Broggi, a therapist from Santa Fe, NM who integrates astrology into her practice. It’s her birthday this week, so we had a super fun conversation about being a Taurus, Mayday, astro-therapy, and the Human Design sun gate of the week, Gate 24: The Gate of Rationalization.

The weekly forecast is first, and my conversation with Lisa begins at 26:00.

🌑 What’s New This Week?

Get ready for an electrifying exploration as we find ourselves caught in the embrace of a new moon, shaded by the penumbra of a solar eclipse. We're not just moving through any phase but the vivacious season of Ostara, under the banner of Aries, whilst in the stirring direction of the east in the medicine wheel, and coursing with the lifeblood of the Wuxing element of wood.

👁️ The Gates of Human Design

As we speak, the cosmos is transiting through the human design gates 51, known as the gate of shock, leading us into the introspective gate 42—aptly titled growth. Alison aligns this transition with the life stages of Aries' symbolic creature, the ram, guiding us through the revelations and evolutions this celestial movement heralds.

⚔️ Chiron's Echo in Our Lives

Our host delves deep into the mythos of Chiron— the wounded healer archetype. She paints his tale in the skies and in the shadows of our own stories. Alison urges us to use this eclipse as a mirror to reflect on unresolved wounds and blind spots, offering a chance for profound introspection and healing.

🌱 Growth, Change, and Self-Acceptance

From the wood's steadfast growth in spring to the lessons in the gate of growth, everything points to one truth—life is a cycle of actions and reactions. Embrace the inevitable force of change, beautifully expressed through a profound quote from Octavia Butler's "Parable of the Sower," that sees change as the universe's divine engine.

🚀 Looking to the Heavens

Take in Alison's reflections on the current solar maximum and the heightened solar flare activity. As we experience these astronomical events, she encourages us to think about their energetic and emotional impacts on our lives—reminding us how universal movements are deeply intertwined with human existence.

Hello everyone, welcome to the 3rd week of the astrological year! It is Monday, April 1st, and this is your forecast for the week ahead.

We are deep in the middle of Aries season, with the moon waning from the full lunar eclipse last week toward the new moon total solar eclipse next week, on Monday April 8th.

This time between eclipses is known in some circles as an eclipse portal, where we are feeling the dynamic push and pull between people and things from our past that we need to release and things we are feeling hungry for in the near future. This in-between time is a liminal space and can feel quite exhausting- a lot may have been catalyzed and let go of with the lunar eclipse, but we’re still waiting for what new energies want to arrive, and they haven’t yet taken root.

Since the spring equinox on March 19th, the sun has transited through the first half of the Zodiac sign aries, which has included several energetic shifts between gates of the iching. We began in the Gate of Innocence, filled with universal love and open to everything, then transited through the Gate of Opinions, forming ideas about the world around us through our experiences, but still remaining openminded, childlike, and curious.

Starting on Saturday, the sun transited into Gate 21, the Gate of the Hunter or Huntress. Then, on Thursday this week it will move into Gate 51, the Gate of Shock, where it will stay through the Solar Eclipse.

Your Weekly Overview:

Hey everyone! After last week's wide-eyed Gate of Innocence, the beginning of Aries season, and the astrological new year, this week we arrive to the gate of Opinions, which we are ringing in with a full moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra on Monday the 25th.

Join me as I explore how the energies of this eclipse season are showing up (the "me" vs. "we" axis), the Martian energy of Aries season, and the Human Design gates of this full moon.

Your Weekly Overview:

Welcome to the New Year! This is episode one of Cycles of Time, where we'll be tracking the changing seasons from various perspectives and cultures each week, taking note of how they're showing up in our personal lives and in the collective.

This week rings in spring with the Vernal Equinox, Aries season, the Pagan sabbath Ostara, and the I Ching gate of "Innocent Integrity".

With so many transitions happening, this is a great week to tap into the innocence of a newborn baby. Go with the flow, stay wide-eyed and absorbent, and don't impose your will on situations too much. Stay open. That is where the wisdom lies.

Happy Spring y'all. Thanks for your listens, comments and subscribes!
