  • NOVEMBER 01: The Energy Forecast

    NOVEMBER: An emotional month of recognizing what is ready to come to an end.

    This month’s energy is dramatic and emotional, yet completely full of beauty. Feelings that have been building for a long time come to the surface, from overwhelming gratitude and love to gut-wrenching grief (that is also a gift).

    It is a moment to recognize what it is in your life that has run its course. A job, a home, a relationship, or a version of the future you’d planned. Receiving something new means saying goodbye to something else.

    This episode explores the difference between controlling outcomes vs. taking responsibility - how to tell which you are acting from and why true responsibility is an act of surrender (and November is a month to exercise it).

    As always, insights are then broken down by vocation, health , and relationships to offer you some tangible ways to work with the energy.

    May it offer you the courage to allow things complete, opening the path to what is waiting for you.


    With love, Fiona Jane. x

    Amidst the tangled energy of the moment - mixed up emotions that may feel hard to read, decipher, and parse out - October invites you to reevaluate the ways in which you seek belonging.

    Which spaces, people, and affinities give you access to a sense of belonging, and which make you feel that sacrifice of parts of self are required for entry? This is about recognizing that any condition placed upon your acceptance is not true belonging.


    It is a month to reconnect to your to roots, lineage, and ancestry, and bring back with you the things that may have been lost along the way.


    May it remind you that every part of you belongs.


    With love, Fiona Jane. x

    This month's energy centers on the physical — body, function, and form — as the foundation for bringing what you desire into reality. There is a lesson for us at the center of this upcoming month: you are not your body, and yet, it is your body that determines the experience you have of this world.

    The forecast explores why nourishment through the energy of peace is the key to true rest, how quality rest gives us greater energy, and why that additional energy is going to be needed for more outward action following a turning point in this year of the Fire Horse.


    As always, guidance is offered to work with this energy across your vocation, your health, and your relationships.


    May it offer you peace, nourishment, and the path to bring what you're creating into form.


    With love, Fiona Jane. x

  • AUGUST 01: The Energy Forecast.

    This is a month to work with our fear of the dark.

    August arrives in the peak of Leo season, full of brightness and expansion - but the real invitation this month is to turn toward what dark parts of self are illuminated in all this light.

    In this forecast, I tune into the energy of the upcoming month and walk through how to work with what may be presenting - how spot the patterns and behaviors we've denied in ourselves, how to use our judgments as a clue to where our own growth lies: what we can't stand in others is often a quieter, subtler version of something in the self not being faced.

    This isn't about punishing ourselves for our unfavorable behaviors, it is about witnessing them to clear space for greater personal power waiting to be reclaimed.


    As always, insights are then offered on how this energy may present for our three core areas of life - our vocation, our health, and our relationships.


    May it be a month of great illumination.


    With love, Fiona Jane

  • JULY 02: On Intuition

    Your intuition is not complicated. We just need to learn how it to hear it - beyond our fear, beyond our conditioned, rational mind.

    This episode closes out July - a month that was centered around listening - with a response to a question I received on repeat in varying forms;

    "How do I know if it's my intuition or my [anxiety/fear/conditioning/past patterns/etc.]?"


    Here I share the same response I offer each time this question arises. It's one of those answers that is simple, and yet not always so easy. With that in mind, the episode also includes a short exercise to help you move past your fears, and past your rational mind, to tune into your higher guidance (one perhaps worth saving to come back to when you need it!).


    May it offer you the answers you are currently seeking.


    With love, Fiona Jane

  • JULY 01: The Energy Forecast.

    July is the month for expanding your receptivity to allow for deeper connection.

    This episode explores the energy of July - a month centred on the feminine energy of receptivity and how to work with it in the form of listening.

    After June's work of maturing the masculine, a block has cleared, creating an opening to experience a new level of love and connection - not only romantic love, but the love of community, collaborators, and chosen family, as well as the kind of love experienced via connection to something greater than the self.

    The way in is through listening - growing our capacity to listen in its various forms; listening to another, listening with your senses, and listening to something higher.

    This is a moment to explore the patterns and traits that can prevent us from truly listening and block our receptivity.


    May it expand your capacity to hear and receive all that has been patiently waiting for you to tune in.


    With love, Fiona Jane

  • JUNE 02: On Dating

    Attracting the kind of connection you desire requires action, yes, but perhaps not quite the kind the conditioned mind believes is necessary.


    For those who are seeking new romantic opportunities; today's episode offers three energetic messages to provide some insight and guidance to take you in the direction of new connection. It also answers three listener questions on the topic - questions which many of you will be able to relate to.

  • JUNE 01: The Forecast

    June is a month to stop avoiding the part of you that knows exactly what needs to be done.


    This episode explores the energy of June - a month centred on masculine energy and what it means to mature our masculine parts of self.

    This isn't about gender. It's about the discipline, structure, consistency and responsibility that we each carry in us, and what happens when we under-utilize these abilities.

    May placed focus in bringing new levels of visibility and recognition. New opportunities opened. Something shifted.

    And now, with that new level of success comes a new level of responsibility. The pressure of which can create a very predictable response: lethargy, overwhelm, and the bodily urge to lie down.

    This episode offers a framework and some guidance for moving this resistance across your vocation, your health, and your relationships.


    May it offer you a new way of relating to your inner masculine.


    With love, Fiona Jane

  • MAY 02: On visibility, recognition, and the fears keeping you hidden.

    Today’s episode continues our May exploration of what is required of us to step into greater visibility - and why, despite your efforts, recognition may have felt just out of reach.

    This episode explores three listener questions on the topic: how to know when you're ready to share something new with the world, how to manage the overwhelm and hypersensitivity that comes with greater exposure, and how to work with - rather than against - the discomfort of comparison.

    May it offer you the clarity and the courage to stop waiting, and start putting yourself on show.
