Mercury retrograde is an astrology pop culture norm, which is fantastic. But in the midst of this mainstream explosion, the trendy topic has inspired a lot of fear and anxiety about travel, communication, and making major decisions. Mercury retrograde is not to be feared, it's actually a wonderful time to receive insight and think more deeply about our experiences.  In this episode, I invite you to RE-frame mercury retrograde with me. I chat about what mercury retrograde means, and how we can use this energy to our benefit. We also chat about the specific upcoming mercury retrograde in Cancer from June 18-July 11.

In this episode, we dive into what the eclipses and nodes have to add to the dynamics of 2020. As the nodes of the moon move into the signs of Sagittarius and Gemini, we will see dynamics highlight the importance of the media, fake news, and how we discern fact vs fiction. We also chat about what we can expect to see as the year moves forward, and talk quickly about the galactic center (aka, the center of the milky way galaxy) and how this trigger point may escalate tensions and questions surrounding our constitution.

In the second episode of the three part series on the astrology of 2020, we dive into the intense dynamics of the historical times we are living through. We’re building on our understanding of Pluto, and looking into how other outer planets are impacting the collective ethos. This episode will go into more detail and nuance, explaining the astrology of the dynamics of fear, crisis, and polarization we are living through today. To understand our current cultural climate, we can look back and see how Pluto & Uranus squared off in the 2010’s and brought protests against the establishment. In reaction to these events, there has been a crisis, symbolized by the conjunction of Saturn & Pluto. Saturn & Pluto tend to usher in fear, suppression of democratic rights, and existential threats to our security. This episode highlights historical examples throughout the 20th century of the Saturn/Pluto dynamic like World War One, the rise of Nazism, the Cold War, and September 11th. The Saturn & Pluto dynamic is anxiety producing, and we talk about how to navigate the insecurity of these trying times by choosing love and expansion over fear and contraction. We end with a discussion of the future (represented by Jupiter & Saturn) and what to expect as we move forward into the Age of Aquarius.

This is the first of a three episode series on the Astrology of 2020. In this episode, we start with an understanding of how we can use astrology to understand what is happening in the collective psyche. If we want to get in deep to the collective ethos, look no further than Pluto. Pluto is a planetary powerhouse that sheds light on cycles of collective transformation and evolution. Pluto serves as the baseline to understand what is going on right now in these historical times we are living in. Since 2008 (when Obama was elected and we experienced the Great Recession), Pluto has been symbolically transforming our governments and institutions. Now, Pluto is at his apex, and we are experiencing incredible collective shifts. Listen in to understand why exactly this is happening astrologically, and how we can work with this energy on a personal level, and usher in a bit more peace and understanding.
