• If Life Feels Difficult Lately, Blame May’s Astrology & Super Moon
    May 14 2026
    Have you been looking at your life lately wondering why things feel off or out of sorts? Blame it on May’s astrology. Thankfully, things are basically fine on the surface. Yet underneath, there’s a strange feeling that’s subtle and even a little disconnected. May’s Astrology The things you used to rely on don’t feel the same anymore. Your routines and even your goals feel a bit out of sync. It’s as if parts of your life belong to a version of you that isn’t working anymore. You’re probably feeling some restlessness that comes and goes. There may be moments where you feel emotional without a clear reason. And, times when your energy dips, your focus drifts, or you catch yourself questioning decisions you once made easily. Underneath all of it, something is trying to get your attention. What you’re feeling right now makes sense when you consider this month’s astrology. It’s creating a very specific kind of internal movement. It’s subtle in some ways and intense in others, especially for midlife women already on a path of self-awareness and growth. This month is inviting you into a deeper relationship with yourself. If you’ve been feeling off, it may be because parts of you are shifting before your outer life has had a chance to catch up. Pluto Retrograde Brings Transformation A big part of May’s astrology begins with Pluto Retrograde. Pluto governs transformation, truth, power, and the subconscious. When Pluto moves into retrograde, its energy turns inward. Instead of external change, the focus becomes looking within. You may notice old patterns resurfacing. This might look like emotional reactions, thoughts, or relationship dynamics you believed you had already worked through. There can be moments where something small triggers a much deeper emotional response than expected. These old patterns are resurfacing to get your attention one more time. It’s like peeling another layer of the onion, revealing something deeper that’s ready to be released. For women in midlife who have already done a lot of inner work, this can feel confusing. You may wonder why this is happening again. What’s actually happening is refinement. Pluto is drawing your awareness toward deeper layers beneath what you’ve already healed. It’s showing you where your power still gets diluted, where you override your truth, or where old identities are lingering just enough to keep you out of alignment. You may especially notice this in relationships. Situations where you feel drained, obligated, or subtly resentful begin standing out more clearly. You may recognize where you say yes when your body wants to say no, or where you stay silent to keep the peace. These realizations may not arrive gently, but they are important and clarifying. The Taurus Super Moon Amplifies Everything At the same time, the Super Full Moon in Taurus is magnifying emotional awareness. Taurus is connected to stability, security, self-worth, comfort, and the physical experience of being alive. When the Moon is full in Taurus, these themes become more vivid and emotionally present. You may find yourself craving simplicity and wanting to slow down. You could wish your life felt more supportive, nourishing, and aligned with what actually matters to you now. At the same time, anything that isn’t aligned in those areas can feel much harder to tolerate. Your body is giving you information. There’s increased sensitivity to what supports you versus what drains you. Certain parts of life may no longer feel sustainable. For many women in midlife, this connects to a deeper question about security. What felt secure ten or twenty years ago may not hold the same meaning anymore. Your sense of security may be shifting from external validation toward trusting your own inner knowing. Mercury in Gemini Speeds Up Your Mind The next astrological layer involves Mercury in Gemini. Mercury governs communication, thinking, and perception. Gemini is mentally active, curious, and constantly moving between ideas. When Mercury enters Gemini, the mind speeds up. It can feel like the Universe suddenly turns the volume up on thoughts, conversations, signs, and inner messages. There may be moments of clarity followed by frustrating overthinking. You might feel pulled in multiple directions mentally, trying to understand what you’re feeling while also questioning it at the same time. This is where intuition often gets drowned out. Intuition tends to arrive as a whisper, first impression, or subtle knowing. Then the mind steps in to analyze, reinterpret, question, and dismiss it. By the time you’ve thought everything through, the original clarity can feel diluted. That’s why this month asks you to notice an important pattern. Are you honoring your intuition, or questioning it instead of trusting it? Mercury in Gemini brings brilliance, but it also creates mental clutter. Part of your work this month is learning how to hear yourself clearly beneath all...

  • Secrets Of Glamour Magic Revealed
    May 7 2026
    What is glamour magic? It’s the practice of consciously working with your own presence, so your most aligned, authentic self comes forward more clearly and consistently. Rooted in Celtic folklore, the Fae were said to cast glamours to alter perception. However, the modern glamour practice I’m going to talk about is not about illusion. This is about being intentional to create alignment between who you are and how you show up in the world. What Is Glamour Magic? The word glamour carries a shimmer to it, something just beneath the surface of ordinary life. Most people think of glamour as external like fashion, beauty, high-end jewelry, or personal presentation. But there’s something deeper here, something far more useful in your real life. Traced back through Celtic folklore, glamour was considered a kind of enchantment. The Fae could cast a glamour to alter perception itself, making something appear more beautiful, powerful, or entirely different than it truly was. It was a kind of energetic artistry that could bend reality with a bit of illusion. Modern glamour practice reclaims that concept, but instead of using it as a pretense, it’s being used here to promote alignment. Think about choosing how you want to show up to match who you are becoming, so your presence is felt more clearly, more consistently, and with far less effort. How to Practice Glamour Magic Glamour practice is built through small, intentional acts that shift both your inner and outer world over time. Here are seven practical methods that you can try. Know that you do not have to do them all. Just choose what appeals most. 1. Use Your Voice Intentionally Why it matters: Your voice and language set the tone for your entire day before anything else happens. Most people use language unconsciously — hedging, softening, second-guessing. But language carries energy. When you choose your words with intention, you shift your internal state, which changes how you feel and how others experience you. How to do it: Replace “I hope” with “I’m choosing”Replace “I’ll try” with “I will”Pause before automatic apologies and decide if they’re actually neededSpeak a 20-second identity statement in the mirror each morning. “I move through today with calm confidence. My presence is steady. My words are clear, and people feel that.” When you say this out loud, you’re not wishing. You’re practicing. Your voice becomes a bridge between who you are and who you’re becoming. 2. Consciously Choose Your Scent Why it matters: Scent connects directly to memory, emotion, and mood. It can shift how you feel almost instantly. Instead of choosing a fragrance randomly, assign meaning to what you wear. You might have one scent for confidence, one for calm, one for openness. How to do it: In the morning, decide what energy you want to embodyAs you apply your scent, breathe it in and set a simple intention: “I carry grounded confidence today” or “I’m stepping into ease and grace”With time, your body associates the scent with that state of being. Wearing it becomes a shortcut to that energy 3. Hold Your Gaze in the Mirror Why it matters: Most people rush past the mirror or avoid their own gaze. Staying there — even briefly — is an act of self-connection that builds inner authority. How to do it: Stand at the mirror and hold eye contact with yourself for 30 to 60 secondsRelax your face, drop your shoulders, and simply be presentSay something simple out loud: “I trust myself” or “I am becoming more grounded and at ease”This is where glamour turns inward. You’re not projecting — you’re reinforcing identity. You’ll begin to see yourself differently, and that changes how you move through the world. 4. Create an Anchor Object Why it matters: A physical object worn daily can become a powerful cue for the energy you want to embody. How to do it: Choose something you already wear — a ring, bracelet, or watchHold it and intentionally connect it with a quality: steadiness, confidence, claritySay that quality out loud, then wear it as normalThroughout the day, when you touch it, pause and reconnect with that feeling This association strengthens as time passes. It provides a steady support, like a personal talisman but not for luck. It’s for alignment. 5. Use Music to Up Your Vibe Why it matters: Music has a direct and immediate effect on emotional state. One song can shift your mood in seconds. How to do it: As you get ready each morning, play something that matches or elevates how you want to feelLet your body respond, and know that even just a little movement countsThis goes beyond listening to embodying a frequency and choosing your state of being rather than waiting for it to arrive 6. Choose Your Daily Story Why it matters: Most people move through life reacting. But underneath every day, there’s a narrative running — and often, it isn’t a kind one. How to do it: Each morning, ask: what kind of day do...

  • Here’s How the Horse Reassured Me It Was Really Speaking
    Apr 23 2026
    Can Anyone Improve Intuition? If you’re looking to better connect with your inner knowing and improve intuition, you may have wondered whether it’s a gift reserved for a select few or something available to everyone. What I’ve learned after years, is that it’s more accessible than you believe. You simply need to practice, a little courage, and a willingness to trust what you receive. Group Energy Makes Intuition Stronger Over the weekend I participated in a reading circle. There were five women, and one by one we each asked a question while the others shared intuitive insights. I always enjoy gatherings like these, because when women come together to work with inner wisdom, the energy is greatly amplified. This creates stronger guidance and it’s one of the reasons why I love working in groups and leading them as well. Groups amplify the energy beyond what one person can typically access alone, and it seems to open something in everyone involved. One woman asked a question about a healing client, which turned out to be a horse. I haven’t done a lot of animal communication, although it does come up from time to time. Because of that, I’m not overly confident in this area and tend to trust myself more easily with humans. But the question was about helping the woman facilitate healing for the horse, so I did my best to tune in. What I heard turned out to be accurate, much to my surprise and delight. As I closed my eyes to focus, I heard a voice speaking to me, but I didn’t trust what was being shared. I immediately questioned it and wondered, “Am I making this up?” Then, in my mind’s eye, I saw the horse scraping the ground with his front right hoof, clearly saying, “No, this is me, you are not making it up.” That was enough for me to settle in and listen. The Horse’s Message The horse didn’t like his situation and wanted to be moved from his stall in the barn. He also indicated there was some kind of discord between himself and the other two horses, although he didn’t go into detail. When it was my turn to share, I felt hesitant. I took a breath, acknowledged my uncertainty, and then repeated exactly what I had received. The woman’s response completely surprised me. She confirmed there were three horses. Originally, the male horse and a female had spent a lot of time together. Then another male was brought in, and the female bonded with him, leaving the original male on the outside. His stall was on one end next to the new male, while the female was on the opposite end, no longer near him. This shift in relationship was distressing for him. The healer already knew the situation existed and confirmed it. She said she would speak to the owner about moving the horse for emotional reasons. Animal communicators often say horses are one of the most psychic animals and quite capable of telepathy. I guess so. This is exactly the kind of moment that builds self-trust, when you receive something you weren’t fully sure about, and it turns out to be REAL. Learn to Trust What You Get Back when I started learning to open up my intuition, I took many classes on psychic development and explored a wide range of tools. I tried everything I could find: clairvoyance, listening to spirit, writing messages from my guides, and psychometry, which involves holding an object and reading the energy connected to it. It took me a while to catch on. I practiced a lot before I felt comfortable or confident in what I was receiving. Today, the Vibration is Higher and Faster When I started teaching classes in the late 1990s, people would often catch on much faster than I did. They seemed to access things right away, whereas I had spent a long time developing my skills. I believe that has a lot to do with how quickly energy is moving today and how much the frequencies have shifted. When I first started, teachers said it took many years of consistent work to develop these abilities, but that’s not necessarily the case anymore. That said, practice still matters enormously. When you do the work, you begin to trust yourself more. And when you keep track of the messages you receive in a journal, even in simple bullet points, it gives you evidence you can look back on. When you think about intuition, when working with the unseen there is often no obvious proof that something meaningful has happened. But when you write it down, you can later look back and see what you heard and unfolded as a result. It’s one of the fastest ways I know to build self-trust and confidence. This becomes the proof you need to believe in yourself. How I Honed My Intuition I got serious about my intuitive journey by taking a past life course that lasted three months with six women and a teacher. We kept resigning, extending the program into a full year. This is where I first experienced how group energy amplifies your intuitive ability. Over that year, we all grew significantly and learned how to access past lives that were ...

  • Where’s the F*ing Magic in That?
    Apr 30 2026
    Not every magical moment feels good, but you can always find magic in it. Some of the most powerful lessons and course corrections in life show up disguised as disappointments, embarrassments, and situations that leave you wondering what the point of any of it was. After decades of doing intuitive work and living a spiritually guided life, I can tell you with certainty that the magic is always there. Sometimes you just have to dig a bit deeper before you can see it. Lesson #1: You Always Have Choices For my 40th birthday I wanted to do something very different. During my 30s I had read everything I could find about the Findhorn Garden and loved each book. Founded in 1962 by Peter and Eileen Caddy and their friend Dorothy MacLean, the Findhorn Garden flourished against all odds. Located in Scotland, on the sandy shores near the North Sea, the garden miracle resulted from intuitive guidance from plant devas, nature spirits, and their own intuition. The produce yield was astonishing, including 40lb. cabbages. I actually had the sacred privilege of meeting Dorothy MacLean in the early 1990s when she traveled to the US. Completely enthralled with their connection to nature spirits and elementals, I booked a trip to Scotland as my 40th birthday present to myself. More than 20 years after the books I’d read were published, things had changed considerably. None of the original founders still lived there, and the program for first-timers was uninspiring. I arrived to cold, rainy weather. I was shown to a room I was sharing with four other women. The shower was freezing cold. And I was given the esteemed job of vacuuming the dining room. Apparently my 40th birthday gift to myself included communal living complete with snoring and a spiritual janitorial position. Not What I Expected The scheduled workshops each somehow managed to be less magical than the last. After enduring one particularly awful exercise that required birthing myself, I asked the female group leader if we were going to be rolling around on the floor any further. She didn’t take it well and started shouting at me. What did she shout? “You have choices!” Well, that was unexpectedly useful. What a fabulous and timely reminder. That night I changed my flights. The next morning I walked into the office, let them know I was leaving early, and asked for a partial refund. One woman explained, “We don’t do that.” My response was simple and polite: “Well, you will today for me.” And they cut me a check. The woman who handed it to me said with genuine astonishment, “When people leave early, they usually aren’t happy like you are.” That comment still makes me laugh. I was happy because I had choices and I acted on them immediately. Lesson #2: Course Correction Is Its Own Kind of Magic A friend asked if I wanted to take a mediumship class. I’d taken one before and knew it wasn’t a passion of mine. The part I enjoy is relaying messages from loved ones, but most classes focus on evidential work. This is about identifying who the spirits are, which doesn’t light me up. But my friend wanted me there and it was inexpensive, so I said yes. During the second session, the teacher joined our Zoom breakout room. We were told to focus on one woman as our subject. Since mediumship isn’t my strength, I often feel hesitant. But this day I decided to fully trust myself and say whatever came to me. I was going for it! I picked up on a lot of details and was relaying them confidently when the teacher stopped me mid-stream: “Ok, Ronnie, let’s move on from that. I’ll explain why later.” Later came in front of over 80 people on the full group call. Her explanation? “What you were saying — you were making it up.” I wanted to crawl under a rock. Nothing like public humiliation to really open your psychic channels. Here’s where I netted out. Do I believe she can see every spirit that shows up and is 100% infallible? No. That’s a rather bold claim. Was everything I said completely wrong? I doubt that too. Maybe I was picking up on spirits simply not related to the subject — this happens all the time. Regardless, one thing was crystal clear. I had choices. And my choice was that this class wasn’t bringing me joy or serving my highest path. I stopped attending. A couple of weeks later the teacher reached out to ask why. I explained that being embarrassed in front of 80+ people didn’t call to me for more. This was a simple course correction. Not too glamorous, but that’s the magic. Lesson #3: Remember Who You Are I had landed a great spot in a day-long online summit with a wonderful lineup of speakers. Very exciting! The morning of the event I went to check out the schedule and discovered another speaker whose talk description appeared to borrow and rephrase much of what I had written about myself for this very summit. I was astonished and filled with anger. That’s not exactly the centered energy I was hoping for before my ...

  • Chaos Can Produce Positive Outcomes
    Apr 9 2026
    While it may seem the world is in chaos, that energy can also transform your life with surprising positive outcomes. The World Feels Chaotic Right now the world feels crazy. The news is relentless and social media is a mess. Conversations that used to feel easy have gotten complicated. If you’re checking your phone and feeling drained before you’ve even had your morning coffee, you’re in good company. But here’s what I want you to consider: What if all this chaos isn’t just something to survive? What if it’s actually something you can put to good use? After more than twenty years working with intuition and mindset, I’ve seen something really interesting The people who thrive in turbulent times aren’t the ones who tune everything out. That does help. But the ones who learn to redirect the energy, come out on top. That’s what I want to talk about today. Chaos Is Neutral Energy Here’s something most people don’t realize – chaos is not inherently bad. At its core, chaos is raw energy. It’s neutral and doesn’t have an agenda. What it does have is intensity, momentum, and the power to break things open. And if you think about it, that’s exactly what transformation requires. Think about what happens in nature. A wildfire is absolutely chaotic and destructive. But the forest that grows back afterward? More diverse, more resilient, more alive than before. The chaos clears the way and creates new opportunities. So the question isn’t how do I get away from all this chaos? The question is how do I stop absorbing it as negativity and start using it as fuel? In the Eye of the Storm It’s a known fact that the center of a hurricane, called the eye is calm. While the storm rages all around, middle has a strange stillness. That’s a great image for what I’m describing. When the world is in chaos, you don’t have to spin with it. You can find your center and from that place, you can access clarity, creativity, and your own intuition in ways that get drowned out when you’re caught up in the commotion. This is where magic comes in and I mean that in practical terms. Magic is about intention, consciously directing your focus and energy toward what you want to create. It ahs nothing to do with reacting to whatever’s happening around you. When you focus on what you want to create, you shift from being at the mercy of external circumstances to being an active participant in your own life. That shift? That’s enormous. And it’s available to you right now, in the middle of whatever is going on. Real Magic Looks Like This I want to share a couple of real stories because magic isn’t just a feeling or a concept — it shows up in real life in some pretty surprising ways. A friend of mine has been apartment hunting in a tough real estate market. She’d looked at a bunch of places and nothing felt right. Then she found a condo that checked a lot of boxes, but she still wasn’t sure. I went with her for a second look and as we walked outside to leave, a raven was cawing loudly in a tall tree nearby. If you know anything about animal symbolism, ravens represent magic and transformation and are seen as messengers from spirit. My friend and I both took this as a positive sign! She decided to take it and loves the apartment. Was that a coincidence? Not a chance in my mind. Here’s what I’ve learned after years of paying attention to these breadcrumb moments: when you’re open to signs, you notice them. These hints or clues can guide you toward aligned decisions. The synchronicity isn’t random — it’s the universe or your higher self communicating in the language of symbols, and your intuition is what receives the message. Here’s another story. One of my clients was looking for a job and running into agism. It happens. After a year of looking, her energy was depleted and her outlook was dim. I lead her through my process to crack the shell of negativity and see possibilities again. Next, I shared a few ways to bring more magic into her job search. Within two weeks she had three interviews lined up! Amazing! “Aha” Moments Create Dopamine! You know that feeling when something suddenly clicks? When an insight arrives out of nowhere and it just feels true? The feelings you get when you encounter new knowledge or truth. Or even surprise and curiosity. and the thrill of discovery. These emotions aren’t just fun — they’re actually driving us toward growth. They’re signals that something real is happening, that we’re connecting with something that matters. Researchers have named this group of reactions “Epistemic emotions.” Here’s another fun fact: studies suggest that people who believe in magic are up to 34% happier. Not because magic is delusional but because a magical mindset is more optimistic. You tend to look for meaning, notice connections, stay curious, and are more engaged and resilient with how you move through life. When you see life through this lens...

  • Feeling Emotionally Drained Helping Too Many People? Try This
    Apr 16 2026
    Have you been feeling emotionally drained, because so many people are wanting your help? They want to talk about their life and problems or actually hope you can do something to improve their situation. The Problem with Helping For many spiritually aware women, you are also empathic, which means you can feel a person’s distress. That adds to the emotional exhaustion. You care deeply, you want to listen and support the people in your life, but where does it end? You need time for your own life and self-care. Here’s the shift most people miss. You don’t have to stop helping to stop the emotional drain. You simply need a new way to handle your energy while you care. In this post, you’ll discover two simple, magical practices that help you release what isn’t yours and support others without losing yourself in the process. They’re easy, surprisingly powerful, and they can change how your energy flows pretty quickly. I came across these practices in the Akashic Reading podcast with host Teri Uktena, and want to give her full credit for these powerful methods. I’ve add a bit of my own thoughts as well. Why You’re Feeling Emotionally Drained It’s not that you’re too sensitive or doing anything wrong. The truth is, you’re just holding more than you were ever meant to carry. When you’re intuitive or empathic, people naturally bring things to you. Their problems, their emotions, their confusion. And because you can feel it, you often do feel responsible for it. That’s where the drain begins. You worry, think about them and their problems, wonder perhaps how to fix things. Sometimes you feel like you should do more. Without realizing it, you’ve been carrying energy that was never yours to begin with. The “Not My Problem” Jar This is one of those practices that seems almost too simple, but it really works. In this case, you don’t need to do anything more, but choose to let go. The first step is to identify the person and problem where you have to draw the line, because the truth is, it’s just not your problem. Next, take a jar and label it something that makes you smile, like Not My Problem. When someone brings you an issue that you can’t, or shouldn’t, take on, write it down on a small piece of paper. Fold it up like you’re sealing it closed and drop it into the jar. That small act sends a clear message to your mind, your energy, and the Universe which is: this is not mine problem. You’re not being dismissive but setting a clear boundary. That clarity is what frees you from feeling emotionally drained in the first place. The Helping Bowl There are also moments when you genuinely want to help. You care. You’re invested. But you don’t want to walk away feeling depleted again. This is where the Helping Bowl comes in. Find a bowl you love and fill it with stones, glass beads, or crystals. Each one becomes a place to hold your intention instead of your body holding the energy. When someone needs support, take a moment to focus on them. Imagine things working out. Feel a sense of resolution, even just a little. Then place a stone in the bowl. You’ve done something real and offered support. But you haven’t taken it on as your own. It’s a small but important shift, that prevents the weight of the world from resting on your shoulders and feeling emotionally drained. How These Practices Impact Your Energy These two techniques are more than symbolic – they are energetic. Here’s what you are accomplishing by using either method: Creating a boundary without shutting down your heartMoving energy out of your body and into something physicalChoosing what you carry and what you don’t Can you see how wonderfully these steps will help reduce the energetic and emotional drain on you? Instead of absorbing everything around you, you relate to all the requests for listening, advice, or help differently. You’ll experience a little more space and ease. Plus, a lot more self-trust about what is right for you. Key Takeaways Feeling emotionally drained isn’t a personal flaw, it’s a sign you’re carrying too much that isn’t yoursYou don’t have to stop helping others to protect your energySimple physical practices can help you release and redirect emotional weightBoundaries can feel gentle and supportive, not harsh or rigidYour energy becomes lighter when you consciously choose what to hold A Better Way to Care You don’t have to close your heart or stop helping to feel better. And this doesn’t mean you’re someone who doesn’t care. Instead, you’re caring and helping in a way that doesn’t deplete your energy. You might still listen to people’s problems or offer help, but no longer to the extent that it drags you down. This is the kind of practical magic that’s so easy to do and effective as well. Just a jar, a bowl, and a conscious decision to stop carrying everyone else’s problems. Once you start, you’ll notice something shift within. You’ll feel ...

  • Inner Wisdom, Spiritual Breadcrumbs, and Card Readings
    Apr 2 2026
    I sat down with Dina Berrin, an intuitive guide, tarot reader, certified life coach, and author for this totally delightful conversation about inner wisdom on the Breathe Love & Magic podcast interview. Get her Free Gift, the Tarot Coach Approach here. How to Lift the Dark Cloud Let’s just say it. Right now, the world feels heavy. A lot of people are avoiding the news and holding onto a low-grade anxiety that can’t be clearly identified. You know that image of Pig-Pen from the Peanuts cartoons? He walked around with a little cloud of dust overhead that followed him everywhere. These days many of us are walking around just like that. But here’s what Dina and I both believe – you don’t have to live like that, under that cloud. You are the driver of your life. You’re not the passenger, passively sitting there, hoping to get somewhere at some point. But as the driver, you get to choose your cargo and what you leave at the curb. You are in charge of the trip. Dina shared the power of building a daily practice centered on calm and ease. She’s not saying you need a complicated, long morning routine that adds pressure to your plate. Her suggestion is simple and consistent. Maybe it’s short meditation. Or do some journaling, letting your worries spill onto the page, so they stop circling in your head. Perhaps you say affirmations or do something magical. The form matters less than the intention. Showing up for yourself everyday, with presence and intention for inner peace and connection to your higher self or spirit. Consistency is the key ingredient, according to Dina. When you tend to your inner world with that kind of devotion, something shifts. You start to bring a different energy into everything you do. Right now, you need that extra dose of light and so does everyone else. Follow the Breadcrumbs This is how spirit and your intuition communicate when you’re paying attention. Inner wisdom is rarely a big thunderbolt of a message. More often, it’s like a trail of breadcrumbs. In the dating world, “breadcrumbing” has a bad reputation. It’s stringing someone along to keep them hooked. But Dina and I talked about the positive aspect of breadcrumbs when it comes to your inner wisdom. The universe often leaves you hints, nudges, and perfectly timed coincidences to help you find your way. Breadcrumbs! Once you start to pay attention, you’ll start seeing those crumbs everywhere. A book falls off the shelf. A conversation with a stranger answers a question that’s been on your mind. You get a feeling in your gut that says “Yes”. The idea is to simply follow the trail and understand that more will be revealed, but usually one step at a time. You rarely get to see the entire map up front. That’s just how it is with spirit most of the time. Living Authentically Here’s where things get really juicy. Dina and I spent time exploring what it means to live authentically and how much of our lives we spend doing the opposite without even realizing it. Most people have been conditioned to look outside themselves for answers. They seek validation, approval, and permission. You become fluent in the language of other people’s expectations and so many have lost touch with their own inner knowing and wisdom. Becoming self-aware is the solution. This is about the gentle, curious kind of awareness and the practice of noticing how you act and react. Get really clear if you’re showing up as you or as the version of you that’s trying to keep everyone else happy. Dina puts it so simply. When you’re deeply connected to what you truly need and want, you stop solely pleasing everyone else. This is how you cultivate self-trust. You build the kind of confidence that doesn’t require anyone else’s validation. And from that place, you’re more present, and genuinely useful to the people around you. Respecting and taking care of yourself serves more than just you. It really does serve everyone’s highest good. Turning to Tarot One of my favorite moments is when Dina told me a story about her daughter was waiting to hear where high school she got accepted to. Such a stressful situation, it turned into one of those agonizing periods where the outcome feels completely out of your hands. That’s when Dina did what she always does. She turned to her tarot deck. Wondering what this meant and how things would resolve, she pulled a card. Not just any card, but she chose the Sun card. This is radiant, optimistic symbolism that everything would absolutely work out for her daughter. That card became her calming anchor through three months of difficult uncertainty. And at the end of those three months, and far too many meetings and phone calls, her daughter landed a wonderful high school placement. Here’s how Dina and I both think about it picking a card. Tools like tarot, numerology, and astrology aren’t about handing your power over to something outside yourself. These sacred tools are more ...

  • Welcoming The 7 Sisters of Pleiades On March 22
    Mar 18 2026

New Moon Match 18th The New Moon on March 18, 2026, moves into Pisces, which brings a sense of completion and spiritual transition. Pisces energy is already intuitive, emotional, and inward-focused. But right now, we also have a cluster of planets in Pisces, which amplifies everything. Heads up! Your sensitivity may be higher. Your dreams may feel more vivid. And, you may find yourself picking up on subtle emotional or energetic cues more than usual. This New Moon follows a total lunar eclipse that was on March 3rd and comes just after Jupiter turned direct in Cancer on March 10th. Together, these events create a strong “turn the page” feeling after a period of emotional clearing. It’s like a clean slate waiting for something new. For many women in midlife, this can show up as being ready to release old stories. Stories about aging, what you want, and or dropping this need to be the caregiver for everyone. It’s time to take care of yourself! Your body may speak to you as well. Fatigue, tears, or even physical tension can be signals of your body asking for rest, gentleness, and attention. This is actually a beautiful window to set intentions around spiritual growth, creative expression, healing, and shifting old coping patterns into something healthier. In addition, you might start calling in relationships that honor who you are now. To mark the moment, keep it simple. Try a salt bath, a few minutes of journaling, or even asking yourself, “What identity am I ready to release?” From there, set a gentle, yet empowering intention like, “I allow a life that aligns with the woman I am now” which fits perfectly with this new astrological energy. The 7 Sisters of Pleiades On Sunday evening, March 22nd, the waxing crescent Moon conjuncts the 7 Sisters of Pleiades. It’s visually beautiful in the sky, just step outside and look up if it’s a clear night. There’s been a lot of talk about March 2026 feeling “magical,” partly because of several celestial events happening close together. These include the earlier March eclipse and a recent Grand Planetary Parade. The Seven Sisters have long been associated with shared wisdom, feminine connection, and support. That makes Sunday night the ideal time to gather with other women. You may focus on being supportive, healing old wounds, manifesting together or healing the earth.. You could spend a few quiet minutes outside, say a prayer, meditate, or do a ceremony of your own creation. There’s something powerful about simply pausing, looking up at the sky, and remembering that you’re part of something much larger and deeply intelligent. A Shift Toward Clarity As we move into early April, the energy begins to shift from inward reflection to clearer outer expression. On April 4th, Mercury becomes more visible in the sky. This supports communication, clarity, and new ideas. At the same time, there are larger background changes happening. Saturn and Neptune have recently moved into Aries starting a long cycle that blends vision with reality and intuition with structure. That means its a time to be more honest about what you want in this next phase of life. You may find yourself less willing to stay quiet just to keep the peace and have a stronger desire to express what feels true. Ideas that came through in March, whether in dreams, realizations, or emotional insights, now want to take form. So, you may have an honest conversation, make a clear plan, or take a step you’ve put off for a while. It could be something as simple as saying what you need in a relationship. Or as bold as starting a new project that feels more aligned with who you are now. There’s a growing sense of “This is more me,” and a willingness to follow that, even if it shifts expectations. That’s Midlife Magic for you. Connecting with your inner wisdom and higher self. It’s Time to Stretch Right now, the invitation is to move gently and be honest with yourself. Process what feels complete. Pay attention to what your inner voice says and what you really want. Notice where you feel called to stretch, even just a little. Connect with the real you and your higher self. Focus on your inner life first. Let emotions, dreams, and quiet moments guide you toward what is ending and what is ready to start fresh. Be intentional about connection. Whether it...
