How Ya Feelin’?

So… how are you?
What’s in your head?
What’s in your heart?
What’s your body saying?
And maybe most importantly, how’s your Spirit?

I’m genuinely interested in your answers.

We’ve been navigating vivid, complex, often intense energies—each asking us to grow in ways we couldn’t have foreseen. And it makes sense if you’re feeling untethered, uncertain, or even hopeful in strange new ways.

Let’s take a breath and name the landscape:

  • Pluto’s move into Aquarius after 15 years in Capricorn—a generational upheaval.
  • Neptune’s shift from Pisces into Aries—a wave of the mystical meeting the spark of self.
  • And still to come: Saturn into Aries, Jupiter into Cancer, Uranus into Gemini, and Chiron into Taurus—all within a 10-month window. This is extraordinary. And it’s just beginning.

Eclipses, retrogrades, and the evolutionary churn of outer planet ingresses are rewriting the energetic atmosphere of our lives. What used to feel fixed or solid may no longer be so. And in the absence of certainty, there’s a strange kind of invitation:

🌿 To wake up.
🌿 To participate.
🌿 To become conscious creators in this great cosmic rewrite.

This time can feel like a lot. But it’s also fertile.

We can root ourselves in awareness, in love, in practice. We can respond to change with curiosity rather than fear. We can listen deeply to what’s being asked of us—and grow something new.

So tell me, dear one:
How ya feelin’?
What’s waking up inside you?
What do you long to embody now?

You’re not alone in this.
You’re part of something vast.
And you’ve got allies in every element, every planet, every breath.

The world is changing—and so are you.
Let’s make it beautiful.

(Please feel free to tell me how you’re feeling in the comments!)

🌿 Feeling the shifts and craving grounded, soulful support?

I’m co-teaching a new class, offerred exclusivley via Zoom, with Saivite Wilson, beginning in January 2026, called Cosmic Resilience: Grounding and Thriving in a Chaotic World—a space to explore how we move through times of upheaval with presence, connection, and purpose.

Aries Season! The Art of Renewal: Spiritual Growth and Purifying Shadow Work at the Spring Equinox


Happy Spring! Each Spring Equinox offers its own unique energy to mark the beginning of the return of warmth, life, and light. And while the hours of daylight and darkness may be equal, sometimes the energy of the moment may not feel quite as balanced as the hours. The astrological chart of the moment the Sun moved into Aries at 5:03 AM Eastern on March 20, 2025, ushered us into themes both light and dark for the duration of Spring. This Aries Season offers influences of spiritual growth, beauty, self-reflection, and also the opportunity for intense transformation. With intense transformation, balance is often hard won, but is absolutely the goal.

This year our initiation into re-burgeoning life is unhurried and the threshold between Winter and Spring may not feel entirely clear. This new season also arrives with an infusion of the potential for spiritual awareness and the desire to reach for the Divine. The Sun (our conscious awareness), newly in Aries, conjoins Neptune (divine inspiration, compassion, beauty) blurring the edges between Self and Other. Besides the spiritual, other ways of living through this Neptunian lens include exploring our artistic gifts, opening our imaginations, or offering something that inspires others. Still another way is to feel like hibernating in our internal fantasy for just a little while longer…

There are some fiery energies to tap into, with the Aries Sun, Venus and Mercury being in an easy conversation with the Moon in Sagittarius, which lends itself to an expansive and excitable emotional environment. But even this fire is more like firelight than a blaze of glory, since Mercury and Venus are both Retrograde in Aries. They are encouraging us to retreat to our internal world to analyze and evaluate our patterns of communicating with our loved ones. And they’re encouraging us to suss out whether our relationships support and uphold our values. If they don’t, these Retrograde planets beg the question: what are we going to do about it?

There’s also a very intense undercurrent to all of this via Pluto, who is at large in this year’s Spring Equinox energy. His transformative presence is felt through our relationships, the way we think and communicate (how’s your self-talk?) pulling at our deepest emotional yearnings. There are potentially obsessive leanings with this dark presence, further holding the normally straightforward fire of Aries in check. But the purpose with Pluto is to get to the truth and to purify those areas of our lives he’s touching. So as we evaluate ourselves, our thought patterns, the ways in which we communicate (including with ourselves), and our relational values, we must be honest about what we find. And then we must take the path of the Spring caterpillar. Without dissolving in her chrysalis, she’ll never become the glorious butterfly. So, this year, in order to meet Spring in right alignment, we must go into our depths before we fly joyously into the sunlight on the fragrant breeze of Spring. But when we do, we’ll have done a little purifying shadow work, and will feel even lighter and happier for having done it.
