Welcome to Episode 11 of the "Cycles of Time" podcast! I'm your host, Alison, and this week we’re diving deep into the concept of living in the present moment – a timely theme as we transition from Taurus into the communicative and curious energy of Gemini.

We'll explore how astrology and human design guide us to inhabit the now, featuring insights on Gate 20 and its archetype of present-moment awareness. Drawing inspiration from Eckhart Tolle’s "The Power of Now" and Michael Brown’s "Presence Process", I'll share my personal journey and recommend practical tools like meditation and journaling to help ground ourselves in the present.

This week’s astrological forecast includes the Sun entering Gemini, a full moon in Sagittarius, and Jupiter’s move into Gemini, bringing themes of communication, expansion, and beauty. We'll discuss the dynamics between local knowledge represented by Gemini and the universal wisdom of Sagittarius, and how these energies shape our interactions and self-discovery.

We'll also touch on the Venus-Jupiter conjunction, emphasizing themes of value, sensuality, and inner truths.

Join me as we navigate this powerful period, reflect on our values, and embrace the present moment with mindfulness and grace. Plus, I'll guide you through a special meditation for Gemini season. Thank you for tuning in and being part of this journey through the cycles of time.
