#250 - Weekly Energy Update for February 12, 2023: Valentine’s Day and Pisces Season

This week is full of “drunk in love” energy. This is one of the best Valentine’s Days we’ve had in years. Venus is in Pisces right now, which is its favorite sign of all time, and love is in the air. Everyone will be in a romantic and sensual mood, and Valentine's Day has a sexy, sweet atmosphere. The conjunction of the love planet Venus and the dreamy planet Neptune amplifies the passion and romance even more. This is fairy tale romance energy!
It doesn’t matter if you're rolling solo, have a crush, or are committed to a long-term partner, it's important to show yourself some love on Valentine's Day.
This self-love vibe continues when Pisces Season begins on Saturday, February 18th, and runs until the March 20th Equinox, which marks the beginning of the astrological new year. This gives us an entire month to soak up the healing, loving energy of Pisces.
You can count on your intuition to be heightened and sharp this month because Pisces is a highly intuitive sign that is also linked to psychic powers and a connection to the beyond.
Because Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac and our astrological year is drawing to a close, it is a season of endings and forgiveness. This energy helps us move on and flow into the future. This is the time to tie up any loose ends and make room for the new.
Our intuition will be on point as we go into the spirituality season. You can experience one of the most spectacular months of your life if you tap into this wonderful Pisces energy.

#249 - Weekly Energy Update for February 5, 2023: Full Moon in Leo

Sunday, February 5th, welcomes a dramatic Full Moon in Leo. Astrologers consider the Leo Full Moon one of the most intense. Full moons are usually intense because they're a time of release, but this full moon is more intense because Leo is a fire sign and it brings a fiery energy to our hearts. 
Leos love to be the center of attention; they are charming and playful, and they shine in the world with courage and confidence. This full moon gives us the chance to own our power. Under this Full Moon, there is no hiding. Own your life. Step into your power with confidence. Believe in yourself.
The planet of change and the great awakener, Uranus, is opposed by this Moon. Uranus shakes things up to awaken us to a higher truth and understanding. It clears the way for what resonates with your soul and shakes free anything that doesn't.
The Universe is likely to deliver a clear sign of what is no longer working in our life as a result of all this change energy from Uranus. Don't be afraid to take action once you see the sign; Leo gives us the courage and confidence to make changes and the fact that we have zero planets in retrograde gives us the boost to go for whatever our heart desires!
While this Full Moon has a bold, forward-moving energy, it's important to remember one of the core principles of Leo energy, which is simplicity. While Leo is grand and sparkly on the surface, he also loves to keep things simple.
Often the simplest answers and the simplest actions can be the most profound. Keeping everything simple and following the path of least resistance can keep us in a state of ease and in the flow of energy.

#248 - The Benefits of Equus Coaching with Sue Willoughby

Have you ever wondered how horses can help on your personal growth journey? Equus Coaching is an opportunity to experience self-discovery in the presence of a horse. In this podcast, Sue Willoughby, a Certified Equus Coach, shares her wisdom on how horses can help us trust and believe in ourselves.
Since horses are prey animals, their only survival mechanism is raw instinct and being present in the moment. When horses interact with humans, we become part of their herd. They connect intuitively with us on a biological, emotional, and spiritual level and provide a clear reflection of our true inner being.
Horses can sense our personal incongruence and help guide us to a state of grounded awareness. When we can align body, mind, and heart we learn to unravel the stories and break down the limiting beliefs that stand between us and our authentic selves.
Sue Willoughby has had a heart connection to horses her entire life and is a Certified Equus Coach. She was led by them to discover the incredible world of Equus Coaching® and the Center for Equus Coaching®. Sue's experience in management and corporate learning development allowed her to hone her coaching, mentoring, and listening skills. Sue enjoys volunteering at local therapeutic riding facilities and horse rescues and is also a licensed equine massage therapist.

#247 - Weekly Energy Update for January 29, 2023

Love is in the air! For the first time in what feels like forever, we’re starting a month with no retrogrades. Now that all planets are direct and everything is a bit clearer, this is the time to think about where you want to go and who you want to be.
Venus is in Pisces to launch these three months of magical forward motion. Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and luxury, is at its most potent when it is in Pisces. This is the time to go all in on beauty, luxury, and love.
The energy encourages us to embrace luxury and make our life more aesthetically pleasing, including our homes, our bodies, and our wardrobes. Luxury does not have to be expensive. Luxury has everything to do with how you feel and nothing to do with how much money you're spending.
Find ways to add romance to your life with fresh flowers, watching romcoms, reading romance novels, or maybe a playlist of love songs. Make plans for Valentine’s Day now.
In numerology, February 2023 is a 9 Universal Month. This month's energy allows us to learn valuable lessons about letting go and frees us up to move forward. We have three months of forward momentum, so you must let go of whatever is holding you back. Cut cords with anything in your life that you don't love.

#246 - Weekly Energy Update for January 22, 2023

Happy Lunar New Year! 2023 is the Year of the Water Rabbit. The rabbit is the fourth animal sign in the Chinese zodiac and is known to be the luckiest of the 12 zodiac animals and symbolizes peace and longevity. The Lunar New Year represents new beginnings and the renewal of good health, happiness, and fortune. The year 2023 is predicted to be one of hope and optimism.
Chinese Astrology also incorporates the five elements: Water, Metal, Wood, Earth, and Fire. The Water element represents sensitivity, intuition, and, in its most positive form, the way to inner peace. The Water Rabbit Year promises a period of rest and reflection after the dynamic Year of the Tiger. Some refer to 2023 as the "Year of the Black Rabbit" since the Yin Water element is related to the color black.
This is a significant moment for new beginnings, especially in light of yesterday's Aquarius New Moon. That was the first new moon of 2023 and was very powerful for planning because it occurred in the future-oriented sign of Aquarius.
The new moon also formed a very tight, harmonizing sextile to Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion. This brings a wave of enthusiasm, joy, and optimism and invites us to take the initiative and move forward.
This is one of those lovely moments in life when the energy inspires us to make a fresh start and live more authentically. We've been given a second chance at life. Everything is supporting us. This is the time to adjust anything that you aren't completely satisfied with. Bask in this energy and get ready for your life to change.

#245 - Weekly Energy Update for January 15, 2023

This is the week we’ve been patiently waiting for when we start planning, dreaming, and finally moving forward again!
Both Mercury and Uranus end their retrogrades. Aquarius season starts and the new moon in Aquarius is perfect for setting intentions to launch us into the new year. All of this is building up to next Sunday's Lunar New Year.
This week as Mercury goes direct and we enter Aquarius season, things begin to move again. The stagnancy we’ve been feeling begins to clear and we start to get our spark back.
With the first new Moon of 2023 on January 21, this spark continues to grow and motivates us to completely embrace the future. New Moons are about fresh starts and hold the potential in which everything is possible. That is particularly true with this new moon. Anything and everything is possible this year!
And with no planets retrograde for the next 3 months, we'll feel like we've been shot out of a cannon. We certainly want to get ready this week before it occurs. The traditional way to prepare for the lunar new year is by cleaning your home. We want to clear out the old stagnant chi and welcome fresh energies before the Lunar New Year.
It truly feels like the beginning of 2023 during this Lunar New Year. Get ready for the year of the Water Rabbit which is very positive, full of opportunities, and good luck!

#244 - Weekly Energy Update for January 8, 2023

The month and the year get off to a slow start with Mars, Mercury, and Uranus currently retrograde slowing us down. These retrograde planets give us a couple of bonus weeks to think thru our future and get clear about what we want. Mercury retrograde asks us to rethink, redo, and revise and that’s exactly what we’re doing right now. 
The wonderful news this week is that on January 12th, Mars will finally finish its retrograde and turn direct. Mars retrogrades are frustrating. And this one has been especially frustrating since it’s happening in Gemini. Like Mars, the planet of action and ambition, Gemini likes to move fast. We’ve had to slow down and get used to not feeling like we're making progress.
When Mars' retrograde ends, we begin to get some of the missing energy and drive back. Our goals and plans become clearer. We all want to get moving quickly coming out of this retrograde but may not see movement happening until Mercury and Uranus end their retrogrades later in the month. This means we need to be patient a bit longer.
When all three move forward, we can do the same — quickly! Because no planets will be retrograde for three months after the 22nd, things move quickly and we make significant progress.
Allow yourself to slow down. It’s OK if you don’t have a word for the year yet or a clear sense of your direction. Is it frustrating? Yes. But it would be even more frustrating to push ahead and be met with obstacles
I recommend using this time to feel into what you want to create over the next few months. When you get that intuitive hit to act on it, things will flow much more easily than they would have if you had moved forward earlier.

#243 - Weekly Energy Update for January 1, 2023

2023 is a 7 Universal Year. In numerology, all years have a number that tells us the theme or energy of the year. This energy is felt by everyone on the planet. 
The energy of the 7 is all about diving inward. Its focus is on spiritual and personal growth and evolution. To make the most of this 7 year, we want to slow down. Think of 2023 as a sabbatical or a retreat.
This is an important year to take a collective pause as we prepare for a massive reset. Starting in 2024, we will enter a three-year “push” time of global transition and transformation.
The energy of 7 asks us to go inward, slow down, and sit with ourselves. To study, analyze, ask questions, and peel our personal “onions.” Our shadows emerge as we reflect on these larger questions of life providing us with the chance to heal before continuing.
The first full moon of the year happens this week on Friday, January 6. This Full Moon in Cancer is a good time to remind ourselves of what is important to us and what we truly care about. Cancer full moons are the time to take a step back and ensure that our heads are in sync with our hearts.
The fact that this Full Moon is active smack in the middle of Mercury and Mars Retrograde could bring tension. When both of these planets are retrograde, it can be difficult for us to go forward because we may feel stuck, foggy, and confused. Although this moon is cloudy and confusing, it is a great moment to reflect and reconnect with yourself.

#242 - Weekly Energy Update for December 25, 2022

This week is a gift from the universe. It's one of those times we dream about where all we have to do is relax and rest.
We are now at the turning point of a new year, a new energy, and a new chapter of our life after the New Moon on Friday served as a window to look into our future. This week is our opportunity to sit down with our intentions, goals, and dreams for the year ahead.  However, you'll note that I didn't suggest that the moment to act is now because it isn't.
Mercury goes retrograde for the final time this year on Wednesday, December 28. Mercury is the planet of thought and communication, so when it goes retrograde, we often feel foggy and confused. 
Mercury Retrograde is something that many people dread, yet it's important to honor it as a natural rhythm and cycle of the Universe.  Mercury is regarded as the Messenger of the Gods, therefore when we encounter hiccups and mix-ups while it is retrograde, it is frequently a higher message for us.
Happy Kwanza, Happy Hanukkah, and Merry Christmas. This week, happily give yourself some well-earned rest. Take advantage of this opportunity to rest, recharge, and take a mental break. 

#241 - 2023 Astrology Forecast with Deborah Norton

Astrologer Deborah Norton breaks down what to expect in 2023 according to astrology. Mercury and Mars will be in retrograde at the beginning of 2023, which slows down our forward progress. Mars serves as our engine and propels us forward. When Mars is retrograde we feel lethargic. On January 12, when Mars Retrograde ends, we'll finally start to move forward and feel productive again.
When Saturn enters Pisces and Pluto enters Aquarius in March, there are significant energy shifts that take place. These are important changes that help us clarify our religious and spiritual beliefs and may even lead to a collective spiritual awakening. 
We have nearly three months in 2023 without any planets going retrograde. There are no planets in retrograde from January 23 to April 21 and this helps us make huge forward progress in life. But when eight planets turn retrograde from the end of August through mid-September, progress slows down.
This year, we should expect significant energy shifts that will help us awaken to our higher selves and the spiritual world.
