In this 25 minute talk, I shared what embodiment means and why it is so important in these times. The last ten minutes or so include a meditative process to become more rooted in your physical experience, that is, more deeply embodied.

Enjoy!

Astrologer, friend and mentor Emily Trinkaus joined me today for our first conversation of the year on the epic astrology of 2025.

We covered a lot of ground in our almost 90 minute talk, including:

* The slow start to the year of first Mars, then Venus and Mercury retrograde, and how to use these inward-looking times to prepare for what’s coming;

* The heavy emphasis on endings as well as new beginnings this year with so much happening at the juncture between Pisces and Aries, the respective last and first signs of the Zodiac;

* The shift of the Lunar Nodes, the axis of the eclipses, into Pisces and Virgo and the imperative of spiritual integrity and embodiment.

As always, the energies of the planets hold potential for conscious and empowered cooperation, as well as shadows. We talked about a number of practices for making the most of this exciting time in our lives. Plus, both Emily and I have a number of offerings to help you navigate and flourish.

We’d love to hear what’s going on for you, and how you are experiencing this new year!

One of the disciplines associated with the sign Aquarius is astrology itself. This art and science studies the patterns of the cosmos and their connections to people and events here on Earth.

Astrology has been growing in popularity for a number of years now, to the point that it is almost mainstream in many circles. But with that growth has come greater potential for abuse, as well.

Pluto’s move into Aquarius will show us the shadows of astrology so we can work with it more consciously. In particular, Pluto highlights the ways in which power is used consciously in cooperation, or unconsciously as a form of control.

In this podcast episode, I spoke about some of the ways astrology can be misused, and my commitment to sharing it as a way of supporting our/your power to co-create with the planetary energies.

Some specific topics I covered were these:

* Pluto’s shift from Capricorn to Aquarius won’t be all “rainbows and unicorns”;

* What Capricorn - and Pluto’s time in that sign - is really all about;

* How to work with Pluto in Aquarius in your own life.
