Likely my final podcast of 2021 this episode explores the fullness of feeling and healing this season in working with our wounds so we can move into the now and the future. Join me to learn about the final Uranus/Saturn Square, the Venus in Capricorn Retrograde and more.

Flying solo for the first in a long time, this episode is a farewell to Scorpio season and a deep dive into the Taurus/Scorpio axis that all the eclipses of 2022 deep into 2023 will fall.

Heeeeey — I’m back after a (sorta) long break. A lot has changed, life is still happening and there is still spiritual work to be done. Welcome to Scorpio season— where you can’t run away from yourself. Haley Niichel and I met at my very first astrology pop up at KIN - prior to her journey to india to study yoga with Sattva. Since then - the physical, mental and emotional transformation is obvious, amazing, inspiring — and also, there is more work to be done. Haley and I chat about teaching, Vedic and western astrology, parenting, drug abuse and recovery, being flawed and continuing to be triggered even when you meditate because that’s the point - go deep or go home. The good news— you start to NOTICE more as your consciousness expands - so the freak outs are there — but you aren’t avoiding working with the information presented. Check it out! Find and follow @HaleyNiichel on social media and book a workshop or breath instruction session with her. Change your breathing and you will change your life.

Mercury Retrograde is here, just past a massive Full Moon In Pisces catharsis and the ingress of the Sun into Libra, welcoming The autumnal Equinox and a time of balance. This weeks energies played out in my life all to obviously, and the opportunity to forgive, take responsibility and move on is reflected in both my monologue and my guest for this week @mack_dubbs . A little teaching on Pisces, Neptune and the 12th house, some Libra stuff and a mini lesson on transmuting pity into compassion. Mackenzie joined me early in the summer to share her story. Mackenzie is a Libra, student of astrology, and a wheelchair used after an accident that left her partially paralyzed. We checked back in after a twelve week healing workshop near her birthday and it’s just amazing what the human heart is capable of when we forgive and accept.

@theurgy_art and I met at a tarot salon here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Alex Scott (they/them) is a Black, non-binary, queer artist born and raised in Milwaukee. I’ve had the fortune of swapping readings with Alex and after seeing their Sun in Pisces conjoining with transiting Neptune, their story of becoming, unfolding, letting go and receiving is a rich and beautiful journey. Alex is re-locating to Los Angeles at the time of this recording. You can find their web comic at https://m.webtoons.com/en/challenge/the-people-we-are/list?title_no=496356&webtoon-platform-redirect=true and they were recently featured in the July 2021 issue of Blaque/Out Magazine. I debut my desired theme song, define some new terms and play around with the Virgo and Pisces vision into reality axis of the season. This episode was brought to you by the letter Kae.

I met Amy Putney Koenig the first time when I was 14. She made an impression on me, what a REAL artist in Des Moines? It is possible. Amy is a Virgo, an artist, a teacher and a collaborator on the magical Prairie Majesty Oracle Deck. Tune in for a candid interview with this incredible soul. I make an in-depth offering on the history of Labor Day, as this New Moon in Virgo auspiciously falls on its celebration date— and Virgo is all about service. I talk about The Industrial Revolution and current 2021 Labor Issues and the Bodhisattva nature of Virgo. We dig deep into the Mars - Neptune opposition, Spiritual Politics and The New Moon energies. You can find Amy on Instagram @amyputneykoenig and her deck on @joyfulresonance and online at https://etsy.me/3nRysvv and shop locally at KIN in Des Moines, Iowa. Amy has a show coming up in October - so follow her work for details.

I met Heather Roe back in 2018 through the conscious connectivity of the internet. Heather is a woman with many lives, and her current one is running a modern mystical apothecary called KIN, starting her journey with vintage jewelry and expanding into crystals, home goods and namely- community. She is the reason I put myself in the world to do astrology pop ups, and I loved sitting down with her uninterrupted to collect her story. This podcast was recorded at Hinterland, a music festival in Central Iowa where I’ll be providing readings over this auspicious New Moon in Leo falling on 8/8 Lion’s Gate. Tune in- and stay inspired ⚡️
