• Rebirth Your Self: Cosmic Wisdom with Kristine and Emily

  Disorientation. Extreme surrender. The dissolution of the old in preparation for what wants to emerge. These are some of the words and phrases Emily and I used today in our conversation on The Natural Wisdom Podcast. No matter how much chaos and change you have felt this year, it is just getting started. All the planets are moving direct for a short period of time now that the retrogrades of Mars, Venus and Mercury have come and gone. We have momentum for the first time this year to move forward on what we want to create. Emily and I spoke about the current astrological patterns and what they mean for us as individuals, including:* Neptune’s movement into Aries on April 30 for the first time in 165 years;* Saturn’s impending move to join Neptune in Aries on May 24th, for the first time since 1999;* The coming shift of Uranus into Gemini, and Jupiter’s departure from that sign;* And the once in many lifetimes chance to dissolve the old structures of your identity and worldview to bring your dream into existence.Find Emily’s recent class all about Neptune in Aries here: https://embodiedaquarian.com/classes/p/neptune-ariesOr become a paid subscriber to The Embodied Aquarian Age for her new and full moon transmissions and in-depth astrology classes.For more of Kristine’s posts and workshops, subscribe below.Reclaim Your Natural Wisdom is a reader-supported publication.

• Revealing Patterns with Caroline Lindon

  Caroline Lindon is the creator of The Saturn Seminary, a Substack that probes the depths of human consciousness and dismantles unseen barriers. Saturn serves as her celestial guide, urging introspection and growth. Her work plants seeds of transformation in those willing to confront their inner darkness.Living with ADHD and dyslexia, Caroline brings a unique perspective to wider social dynamics by incorporating her training in fields such as astrology and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). She views these disciplines as tools for unlocking potential and reshaping reality. Her approach blends ancient wisdom with modern techniques to uncover hidden truths.Caroline Lindon of Saturn Seminary joined me in a conversation about a wide range of topics, from Saturn to neurodiversity. I began following Caroline after reading and appreciating her realistic take on Pluto’s move into Aquarius:and knew I wanted to have a conversation with her. Caroline writes on a variety of topics, including astrology. She has a background in neuro-linguistic programming as well as teaching and business transformation. As two “Saturn obsessed” people, we talked about why honoring Saturn as the traditional ruler of Aquarius matters; the need for taking back your personal authority; and how important it is to be in reality right now.We dove into several other topics:* Astrology as a way of revealing the patterns in your life;* What Pluto in Aquarius seems to have in store for us;* What “war” might mean in the modern world with Neptune in Aries;* Why neuro-divergence does not need to be “fixed”;* And the best advice for how to thrive in the midst of chaotic change.Subscribe to The Saturn Seminary for more of Caroline’s work.

• The Epic Transition of 2025

  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.
