Our Waking Dream

This week's show is guided by the Taurus Full Moon on November 5. As the outer planets stir up big changes, this is an invitation to use lunar energy and earth-based ritual to anchor what’s shifting in real time. Gentle lymph drainage lets the body flow, helping you support growth as change moves through both the physical and emotional layers.

Join spiritual strategist and mentor Coco Swanson for grounded insight into how this Full Moon deepens ritual and lays foundations for your transformation.

This week, Coco reviews a longer transit that we’re all probably feeling right now: Uranus moving retrograde at 0° Gemini. It’s a time to look at awakenings—both disruptive and illuminating—around ethics and communication.

Uranus is in Gemini until its last brief return to Taurus, before settling in Gemini on April 26, 2026. This is an invitation to notice intense patterns in how we connect, and to release fixed ideas so your perception can realign with deeper truth.

This week, Neptune retrogrades into Pisces for its final passage, October 22 through January 26. This rare window marks the closing of a 13–14 year cycle—a sacred chance to integrate the spiritual, creative, and emotional growth seeded since 2012. The invitation is forgiveness, surrender, letting go, softening, and preparing for the new reality in 2026 when Neptune shifts into Aries.

The shadows are real: confusion, deception, sickness, delusion. If you’re feeling these energies, trust Neptune is active in your chart. Pause, look at what’s not real, what’s changing at your core and in the collective—what we’ve lost, what’s ready to be ritualized and released. It’s your week to claim awareness:

What feels off, nebulous, or unfinished? What are you learning to let go of, even when it’s hard? Hold your heart, dance, and let forgiveness lead. “I let go. I love you. I let go.” Name the releases. Let the present prepare you, soul-deep, for the quantum leap ahead.

This week, Pluto stations direct in early Aquarius. It’s a moment for honest observation, letting go of structures and beliefs that can’t stand the test of time, and facing the collective question: Are your/our ethics fit for the future? Simple rituals—like creating an altar for what you’re ready to release, or writing a love letter to the old ways—can help honor what’s ending and invite a new beginning.

This week’s Full Moon in Aries illuminates the energy of inner peace warriors everywhere. The fire, the tension, and the opportunity for transformation rise both personally and collectively. The call is to honor both those on the front lines—like Greta and fellow activists—and each inner warrior working toward peace and balance.

Listeners receive transformational practices: Ujjayi breath and Shakedown—simple, real ways to move through intensity and restore body/soul equilibrium.

This week, we close out this season’s eclipse cycle with a rare Blue Moon—our second New Moon in Virgo—opposing Saturn retrograde at the last degree of Pisces.

It’s a call for radical honesty and intentional release: notice which karmic patterns want to be completed, and focus your energy on a radically honest look at what needs tending and care in your live.

If you’re feeling unusually wobbly, confused, or emotionally electric right now, you’re not alone. This eclipse energy—plus Mercury and Saturn both perched at the very end of their signs—has even the most grounded among us feeling unstable, overwhelmed, and extra judgmental (of ourselves and others). The urge to fix, the noise of old criticism, and questions about boundaries are peaking.

This week, Coco Swanson invites you to pause and breathe before reaching for old habits. Instead, discover gentle, body-based rituals for healing communication and letting go.

~Why eclipse season always brings emotional chaos and how to meet it with compassion

~A curative ritual for listening beyond judgment and confusion

~How to know when to set a boundary, and when to surrender with care

The first eclipse of the season is complete, yet we're still in its tide. During this powerful window, Saturn retrogrades in Pisces and opposes Mercury in Virgo this week, amplifying a collective season of BIG letting go. This is not a week for striving, but for release and redreaming—allowing what’s unraveling to guide gentler ways forward.

In this episode, Coco Swanson shares practices for softening, forgiving, and finding new possibility—especially for leaders, deep-feelers, visionaries, and anyone navigating change. With North Node ☊ in Pisces ♓︎ and Mercury ☿ in Virgo ♍︎, there’s support for organizing the small things while letting go of what can’t be controlled.

You’ll find permission to unclench, explore your own redreaming, and rest in the knowledge that healing happens in the messy middle too.

If this resonates, you’re always welcome to share your experience or reach out at cocoswanson.com.

These tides are best navigated together.

This week, Our Waking Dream is all about preparing—emotionally and energetically—for the Pisces Full Moon Eclipse on September 7.

Join Spiritual Strategist and mentor Coco Swanson to explore why this window is ultra-charged: as the Full Moon meets the North Node, you have a rare opening to pause, feel what’s stagnant or delusional, and release it—making space for a new level of dreaming.

Listeners practice the cycle: Feel, Release, Dream Big, Release Again, Care for What Matters—so that come eclipse, your growth is grounded and true.
