Welcome to the next episode of Triggers in Spiritual Medicine podcast and this one is BIG, with host, Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney.

In this month’s episode, I walk us through a powerful 2025 Year in Review through the lens of spiritual medicine, the bridge into 2026, and the thresholds between Samhain season and Winter Solstice.

This one feels like a transmission for anyone navigating big shifts, ancestral stirrings, or the call to step into their next becoming.

Weaving together:
🔥 What’s closing, what’s cracking open, and what 2025 is asking of us

🌬️ The liminal space between Samhain and Winter Solstice

🌱 The medicine of slowing down, listening deeper, and honoring the unseen

💛 How to stay rooted and resourced in uncertain times

🌀 Spiritual, energetic, and collective themes rising for the year ahead

ABOUT TRIGGERS & SPIRITUAL MEDICINE PODCAST:

Real talk. Let's address the elephant in the room to the growing "sickness" in our society, address root issues and provide sustainable solutions.

We hope by addressing the intersectionality and connect the dots like a web of many of society’s challenges, we can help others understand the trauma infection that impacts all areas of life – addiction, domestic violence, racism, homelessness, sexual abuse, chronic health issues, cancer, environmental issues, climate change and more.

In this NEW collaborative program, we hope by highlighting these infected areas and what they share in common, a new perspective of solutions, healing, and resolutions can be birthed.

Each episode addresses a certain trigger while offering the spiritual medicine with at least 3 tips or actionable steps our listeners can take and implement.

In this episode of Triggers And Spiritual Medicine, Laura reunites with astrologer and spiritual teacher Hilary Harley for a deeply reflective and cosmic conversation on the intersection of energy, astrology, language, and transformation.

Together, they explore the intense energetic climate moving into November—a time calling for grounding, courage, and conscious preparation.

Laura opens with a Samhain season prayer, honoring the ancestors and invoking the healed and whole grandmothers—the wise ancient ones guiding us through these thresholds of profound change. She also shares insights from Spirit and messages received during her pilgrimage to Ireland, offering both warning and wisdom for what lies ahead.

Hilary provides astrological guidance through this rare alignment of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Aquarius—a once-in-a-generation cosmic reset urging humanity to awaken, mature, and rebuild. Laura weaves in tarot messages that echo the same themes of renewal and transformation, as both explore the evolutionary cycles of change unfolding now.

The conversation flows from cosmic to practical—touching on November’s energetic shifts, potential disruptions, and the importance of embracing challenges as gateways for growth. Together, they discuss sustainability, Earth reconnection, and the rebalancing of energies unseen in thousands of years.

✨ Topics include:

Why this is an incredible time for deep spiritual nourishment

The importance of emotional maturity

Samhain, sovereignty, and ancestral wisdom

The incoming Mercury Retrograde and its energetic lessons

Saturn–Neptune and Pluto in Aquarius: a cosmic reset for humanity

Generational healing and preserving elder wisdom

Working with darkness as fertile ground for transformation

Sustainable, long-term healing for both Earth and community


As Laura and Hilary remind us, true growth is not found in the light—but in our willingness to face the shadows with courage, authenticity, and love.
