The Embodied Aquarian Age

The Saturn Return - when Saturn returns to where it was when you were born - is a time of massive transition, characterized by significant endings and beginnings. One 29-year cycle comes to a close, and a new one begins, marking the threshold between past and future, who you’ve been and who you are ready to become now. The Saturn Return invites you to shed social and family conditioning, release what you’ve outgrown, clarify and align with your soul’s true purpose, and step into greater self-authority. Saturn works through pressure, and often during the Return you’re under pressure to make big decisions with long-term consequences.In mainstream astrology, there can be a lot of fear-based nonsense projected onto Saturn. When you enter your return with anxiety and dread, you can limit the higher potentials available in this transformational portal.Tammy Roth and I are offering a one-of-a-kind group experience to support you to consciously navigate your Saturn Return. Our 8-week Saturn Return Quantum Immersion starts January 6th. In this immersion, you’ll cultivate a direct connection with your unique expression of Saturn. Bypassing mental constructs and assumptions, you’ll enter the Quantum Field to experience the energy of Saturn in your body, feelings and intuition. You’ll alchemize any blocks to expressing the highest potential of Saturn’s placement in your chart, and open to receiving Saturn’s specific wisdom and guidance.You’ll also have opportunities to connect with, learn from, and receive support from a community of Saturn Returners. In addition to working in the Quantum Field, we’ll reflect on the past and set intentions for the future through writing prompts, creative practices and intimate sharing.We’ll meet during the final weeks of Saturn in Pisces and as Saturn transitions into Aries.If you were born with Saturn in Pisces, you’re completing your Return. This immersion will help you integrate, reflect on and receive new insights about your journey over the past few years. If you were born with Saturn in Aries, and just starting your Return, this group will help you navigate the next few years with greater awareness and inner strength. (See dates below if you’re not sure if you’re in your Saturn Return.)Whether you’re in your first or second Saturn Return, join us for a unique, experiential and empowering journey. Anyone born with Saturn in Pisces or Aries is welcome, and no prior astro-know-how is required (beginners welcome). You’ll get the most from this immersion with live participation, but recordings will be available if you have to miss a session.Get all the detailsYou have Saturn in Pisces if you were born: March 24-September 16, 1964, December 16, 1964-March 3, 1967; or May 21, 1993-June 30, 1993, January 28, 1994-April 7, 1996You have Saturn in Aries if you were born: March 3, 1967-April 29, 1969; or April 7, 1996-June 8, 1998, October 25, 1998-March 1, 1999 This is a public episode.

Lara has been teaching energy arts since 2003 and is unspeakably grateful for her teachers and the chance to view this absurd and perfectly magnificent life from the energetic perspective.I was thrilled to get to talk with Lara about the 13 Sacred (or Holy) Nights practice, which provides a powerful way to access the magic and co-creative potential of the darkest time of year. I’ve engaged with this practice for the past two years (and love it!), but Lara has been diving in for 17 years, and has a wealth of wisdom and experience to share.We talked about:* The 13 Sacred Nights as a more meaningful and fulfilling alternative to “the bonanza of sugar, shopping and alcohol” that typically characterizes the holidays;* How Christmas used to look more like Saturnalia - the ancient Roman festival - and how (and why) the modern version was intentionally designed by the elites;* The significance of the Winter Solstice in the wheel of the year, and why this is the most potent time for conscious co-creation with the Divine;* The nuts and bolts of creating your own 13 Sacred Nights practice (please try this at home!) and how it helps you build your faith in the unseen;* My astro-perspective on why this practice is especially crucial this year as we prepare for the Saturn-Neptune conjunction next February;* And much more!

This super-Piscean Eclipse Season challenges you to listen deeply to your inner knowing and discern reality vs. illusion - in the midst of heightened sensitivity, emotional overwhelm, collective chaos and a mega-dose of MYSTERY.Eclipses are massive turning points, portals into new realities, a shedding of outgrown forms and versions of self… and times when you can feel very much in the dark. The first Eclipse was September 7, and the second - likely more intense - is coming up next Sunday, September 21, just before the Equinox.The Sun and South Node in Virgo can stir up worry, anxiety, an urge to control, and a buttload of mental energy trying to analyze the details and figure out what’s going on. This approach will take you nowhere - except into greater confusion and frustration. Instead, the most productive way forward is to embrace the Pisces North Node - tune into your feelings and intuition, trust what you’re sensing on a subtle level, and stay focused on the higher vision and bigger picture of your soul’s journey. Release what no longer holds energy for you and surrender to the flow of Life.Sounds simple, but not necessarily easy. We’ve been so conditioned (or traumatized) to stay focused on the external, to look outside ourselves for guidance, to over-rely on our minds, to defer to what seems logical and practical and discount the “little voice” of our soul, the dreams and divine whispers trying to get our attention.If you could use support for tuning into your deeper self, for clarifying what you’re ready to release and the big new dream that’s getting ready to emerge next year, join Soul Guide Anné (“Anna”) Klint and me for a half-day retreat in Santa Fe on September 27.We’ll meet in the aftermath of the Eclipses and Equinox, when we’ll likely have A LOT to digest and integrate. Take a conscious time-out, gather with other amazing women in supportive community, and deepen into your inner wisdom and guidance.Join us live on Saturday, September 27, 10am to 3pm for The Saturn-Neptune Conjunction: Dissolve the Past to Define A New Dream. This will be the second retreat in our series - Cosmic Navigation to Inner Guidance. (We’ll convene again on November 15 - save the date! Astro-theme TBA.)In this retreat, you will:* Receive expert astro-guidance to see how Saturn and Neptune are activating your personal birth chart;* Clarify your future vision AND the unfinished business that’s asking to be resolved;* Through a plant meditation, invite an herbal ally to help you connect with Source and trust in the Mystery;* Practice embodiment through mindful movement and spark your creative expression;* Be deeply seen, heard and held in your sacred humanness.All women are welcome, regardless of prior astro-experience (including beginners).

“Astrology has always been infinite, we are the ones evolving.” - Tammy RothTammy Roth is a quantum astrologer, family constellations facilitator, artist, author and retired holistic psychotherapist. She is the founder of the Quantum Astro School approach to learning and experiencing basic astrology. She is focused on bringing a quantum and frequency based approach to the astrological community. Her 25+ year path as a coach and psychotherapist always included holistic and energy based tools guiding people to recover their true essence as energetic beings and she has found astrology to be one of the strongest healing and recovery tools available.Tammy and I first connected last year - check out our first podcast conversation in March 2024, where we focused on recovery, creativity, and Saturn in Pisces: Disciplined to Your Own Soul.

We led an incredible astrology and creativity retreat together earlier this year, and this fall we’re offering an online 7-month program: Quantum Astrology for Astrologers. In this podcast, we dive into:* Tammy’s pioneering approach to astrology, informed by her work as a Family Constellations facilitator;* Dropping out of the left brain and experiencing the chart directly as an embodied and living frequency;* The evolution and expansion of astrology in this Aquarian era – moving out of 3D consciousness and into a higher dimension;* Planets as "the ultimate ancestors" and as loving beings here to support our evolution;* Tammy's personal experience of her Saturn in Pisces as an unconditionally loving father – and how that informed her second Saturn Return;* And much more!Find out more about Tammy’s work:* Website: TammyRoth.com* Facebook* InstagramCheck out our upcoming Quantum Astrology for Astrologers program - and if you’re inspired, join us on Friday, August 8th, 11am Eastern, for a free Q&A (replay available if you can’t make it live).

I became an astrologer in the late 90s, during my first Saturn return. I had been interested in astrology since I was 13, reading whatever books I could get my hands on and secretly analyzing the charts of friends and family. But as I came into my Saturn return - a massive turning point that everyone experiences around age 29 - I became obsessed. I was living in New York City, trolling the esoteric and “occult” sections of bookstores for any tomes on the Cosmic Science, astro-geeking-out with a friend who shared my passion, and eventually taking a class with an actual astrologer. To build my skills and confidence, I started doing free readings for friends. They told their friends, and I got paid for my first reading in 1999. Thus began my career as an astrologer.Now, almost 30 years later, as I come into my second Saturn return, I’m still madly in love with astrology, and it still blows my mind on a regular basis. Rather than resting on my decades of experience and thinking I’ve mastered this astrology thing and now have all the answers (as if!), I’m asking myself - what next?? Check out the above video for an answer to that question, and to learn about Quantum Astrology for Astrologers - a new collaboration with the brilliant Tammy Roth, my Virgo stellium soul sister. If you feel intrigued, join us for a free Q&A session on Friday, August 8, 11am Eastern/8am Pacific.

Anné ["Anna"] Klint is a spiritual rebel who refuses to play by anyone else's rules—including her own from yesterday. As an energy worker and psycho-spiritual insurrectionist, Anné's work is a love letter to women who are absolutely done with playing small. She's here for the midlife mystics who are sick of hiding their soul gifts, tired of prioritizing everyone else's comfort over their own truth, and ready to become so ungovernable in their self-love that they accidentally start a revolution. Liberation is your birthright!I first connected with Anné a few years ago when she invited me to be part of an online summit she was hosting. We hit it off, and last year we started teaching together, in Santa Fe and online, and we’ve become good friends in the process. Anné has a lot of wisdom to share, based on her own experience of navigating the dark night of the soul. She’s now on her third tour through the underworld, and she offers some very useful advice for these times, as all of us are now experiencing a collective dark night of the soul. We talked about:* The personal crisis that catalyzed Anné’s transition from artist to soul guide and healer;* The dark night's mandate to kill off old versions of self and old ways of living;* What it looks like to surrender to the process vs. coping and resisting;* The collective dark night and the opportunity to open to greater power and possibility;* Navigational guidance for the dark night - starting with radical curiosity;* The power of dis-identifying with what we think we know and who we think we are;* The gifts on the other side of the dark night, when we're willing to face the pain;* And much more!Find out more about Anné’s work:* main site: AnneMKlint.com * Anné on Substack: The Love and Liberation Diaries* Receive a free 10-day self-compassion challenge: SelfCompassion.rocksJoin Anné and me in Santa Fe for a women’s mini-retreat!

Solstice greetings! The chart of yesterday’s Solstice - the “birth chart” of the new season and blueprint for the next three months - is not messing around! The Cancer Sun conjoins with expansive Jupiter, and activates the tense square to Saturn and Neptune in Aries. The Solstice chart also features TWO yods or “fingers of fate” - dynamic, pressurizing configurations - involving Mars and Pluto. I went into all the Virgoan details about the Solstice in last week’s livestream for founding subscribers, but the gist is: the energies are speeding up, and we’re under relentless pressure to evolve. Yes, world events are reflecting the most distorted expression of planetary energies (Neptune in Aries - the fog and deception of war). But at an individual level, we have the power to co-create with the cosmic forces for the highest good. And these forces are about to get even MORE dynamic…On July 7, Uranus, planet of revolution and liberation, will move into Gemini, the sign of perception, communication and connection. Slow-moving Uranus was last in Gemini 1941-1949, so for many, this will be the first Uranus in Gemini transit in our lifetimes.Uranus in Gemini wants to shatter old, limiting thought forms, expand your mind into wild new territory, liberate your radical message, and inspire exciting new connections aligned with your authentic self.At the same time, media inundation and information overload are likely to ramp up to even more extreme levels, increasing the potential for anxiety, overwhelm and distraction. Navigated unconsciously, your mind and energy could be scattered in too many directions, that are ultimately not fulfilling, meaningful or productive.To support you in navigating these new frequencies with awareness, I’m super-excited to once again team up with soul guide Anné Klint to offer a women’s mini-retreat. Join us live in Santa Fe on Saturday, July 12th, 10am to 3pm for Uranus in Gemini: Know and Express Your Revolutionary Truth. This will be the first retreat in our new series - Cosmic Navigation to Inner Guidance. (We’ll convene again on September 27 and November 15 - save the dates! Astro-themes TBA.)In this retreat, you’ll practice owning your own mind and strengthen your capacity to discern your inner truth separate from the external noise. To counter the scattering, staticky potential of Uranus in Gemini, you’ll be guided to ground into your body’s sovereign inner compass.Together we’ll call in calm and quiet to cultivate your inner witness - the higher expression of Gemini. We’ll slow down to utilize these new frequencies in ways that are fulfilling, creative and aligned with your essence.* Receive expert astro-guidance to see how Uranus in Gemini is activating your personal birth chart;* Dream into and set intentions for YOUR highest expression of Uranus in Gemini;* Through a plant meditation, invite an herbal ally to help you ground deeply into your own knowing;* Practice embodiment through mindful movement and spark your creative expression;* Be deeply seen, heard and held in your sacred humanness.All women are welcome, regardless of prior astro-experience (including beginners).

I’m super-excited to once again team up with my good friend Katie Todd to offer Summer Soul Liberation - a container of support for shedding the default, unconscious patterns that hold you back and catalyzing your path of greatest fulfillment.Check out our conversation about the North and South Nodes in your birth chart - the axis of karma - which we’ll be working with in the group. We talk about Katie’s inspiration for this program (her own South Node cringerriffic activation), how I discovered the power of the Nodes (my cringe-ifying moment), and why I always prioritize the Nodes when I read birth charts. We start Tuesday, July 1st (9am Pacific/12pm Eastern), and will meet every other Tuesday through August 12th (four sessions total). The early-bird registration rate of $250 is available through tomorrow night.Everyone is welcome, regardless of prior astro-experience. Get all the details. Questions?

I recently received the following super-sweet (and hilarious) testimonial from a participant in last year’s mentorship, who had taken Astro 101 with me in 2022:"To sing Emily’s praises as an as astrologer, a spiritual guide and as a teacher, I would need the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vatican Choir, 1000 dancers with bells, and Ethel Merman at full tilt. The journey with Emily through the intricate realms of the Zodiac—exploring Planets, Archetypes, Signs and House -- is transformational. Emily is a masterful astrologer, skillfully blending profound insights with sophisticated methodology that fosters a deep and lasting comprehension of this ancient, ever-evolving practice. She radiates energy and joy yet balances it with a serious and compassionate demeanor. No questions are considered unworthy, and no insights dismissed. My experience studying with Emily has been nothing less than awe-inspiring and transformative. This course has changed my way of seeing --permanently. Study with Emily. It is the opportunity of a lifetime." - Jonathan DavidYou can read more feedback from students, many of whom are now professional astrologers, here.I hope to see you in Astro Summer School!
