We know you’ve let things go. So have we. But when we say it’s time to let it all go we really, really mean it this time.On February 20, 2026, humanity as a whole – and each of us individually – will enter a new era, an epic, once-in-a-lifetime rebirth. Slow-moving Saturn and Neptune will meet up at the very first degree of the zodiac (0° Aries) for the first time in over 6,000 years.How do we prepare? By emptying out. Acknowledging, accepting and grieving all that did and did not happen in the past.We’re all at a choice point. Keep carrying the chains of Christmas Past like good old Ebenezer or really name and claim and honor – and ugly cry if you need to – over all that never came to pass and never will. It’s time for a reverently irreverent yet totally sincere burial ceremony.The only way out is through. Which means being vulnerably real and honest and saying a heartfelt goodbye in order to say a bigger hello to what will and must come. The more you can release now, the more vitality, clarity, purpose and passion you’ll be available for on the other side.Join us in sacred sisterhood to put the fun back in funeral as we say goodbye to all the dreams that can never be.We’ll gather for:* Deeply resonant and powerful self-reflection to clarify what dreams are really dead (and what dreams may still be resuscitated);* Sacred movement to release any energies that no longer serve while inviting the energy of new life and new dreams;* An herbal ceremony to open the heart and support the grieving process, the dissolving of old energies;* A sacred ceremony to bid farewell to those dreams that will never be realized;* You’ll be seen, heard, held and honored in your tender surrender.We’ll meet Saturday, January 24, 10am-3pm. All women are welcome, no previous astro-experience is necessary. The group is limited to 12 participants, and early registration pricing ($144) is available through January 14.Get all the details and sign upQuestions? Just hit reply.

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 is also the creator of Neurogenic Qigong, her own unique and innovative healing method which interweaves Chinese energy medicine with tension-&-trauma-releasing, neurogenic, tremor work. 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). Early registration pricing through this Wednesday, September 17th.Get all the details & sign upI hope to see you in Santa Fe! Questions? Just hit reply.love, Emily This is a public episode.
