The Sacred Circle Podcast is going on a sabbatical! The last few weeks of eclipses, Mercury retrograde, and introspection have provided an invaluable opportunity to review the wonderful experiences, connections, and community of Sacred Circle over the last year. In this episode, I share what has led me to this decision, what you can expect from me and Sacred Circle while on a break, and the messages I am called to share with you during this time.

We have the invitation as consumers and practitioners of astrology to dig deeper into the qualities of the astrological signs instead of falling into oversimplification and stereotypes. By moving away from thinking as signs as people and instead as energy, we can connect with all of the astrological signs as parts of ourselves, different aspects of one whole. In this episode, we explore the energy of Cancer as an example to open a conversation around what this could look like in practice and reflection.

The cycle of the Moon through the Zodiac offers the opportunity to reflect on our experiences with tenderness, vulnerability, care-giving and care-receiving. In this episode, we explore the magical relationship between Gemini and Sagittarius and the unfolding evolution possible when we embrace these energies. Learn about how the New Moon in Gemini and Full Moon in Sagittarius this June are situated within larger cycles of time so you can more deeply understand your relationship with change, inquiry, and abundance.

This month ahead episode weaves together major astrological events of the month, a three-card Tarot spread for self-care, and reflections for the community. Themes for the month of June include discovering what is truly nourishing, taking care of how we speak, and honoring the power of our action and expression. We receive the invitation to come back to our intuitive guidance. Astrological dates mentioned are available at www.sacredcirclecommunity.com/podcast/14.

Seeking support from another person, whether they are a healer, teacher, astrologer, energy worker, or play another role in our healing, can be problematic at times. If we are able to understand the impact of information asymmetry and vulnerability on our learning environments, we can better identify people who can help us on our journey.

Expressing our truth requires knowing our values, making friends with fear, and practicing responsibility with our impact. In this episode, we explore King of Swords energy and connect it with astrology and our birth charts so we can reflect on how we express and connect with others.

The cycle of the Moon through the Zodiac offers the opportunity to reflect on our experiences with tenderness, vulnerability, care-giving and care-receiving. In this episode, we explore the magical relationship between Taurus and Scorpio and the unfolding evolution possible when we embrace these energies. Learn about how the New Moon in Taurus and Full Moon in Scorpio this May are situated within larger cycles of time so you can more deeply understand your relationship with intensity, focus, abundance, and loss.

It is okay to not know. It is okay to feel lost. It is okay to sit in the muck. Moving through difficult situations and discomfort takes energy, during the experience as well as processing afterward. In this episode, we explore the universality of these feelings and the reminder that self-care can be trial and error to find what works for us each day.

Janessa also shares a personal reflection on themes that have intensified with her Pisces 4th House in the last few weeks as an example of how general astrological ideas must be filtered through our everyday lives and experience.
