Soul Care Astrology

A quick, high-level look at what the stars have in store for January 2024, including insight from the Soul Care Oracle Deck. You'll find guidance on the New Moon in Capricorn and Full Moon in Leo.

In this episode, I chat about the term 'lightworker' and how it can be misleading. Lately, the term seems to have become a pop culture fad, often associated with being eternally optimistic and positive.

But, isn't it essential to remember, to truly illuminate, one has to delve into the shadows as well? Carl Jung once wisely said, "how can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow?" He's right - one cannot exist without the other.

Our journey of self-growth isn't just about bringing light to our lives; it's also about shadow work. It's not about banishing the darkness, but rediscovering the treasures we've hidden away. After all, can we truly shine without venturing into the shadows first?
If you identify as a lightworker, consider this a friendly nudge to embrace the full spectrum of your being. Let's question, grow, and illuminate together!

In this episode, I dive into the intuitive messages that the stars have for us for October, including eclipse season.

For more details on all the transits of the month ahead, join us in the Soul Care Community.

In this episode, we'll look at the upcoming astrology of Cancer Season and how you can use the energy of this season to your advantage, including the Full Moon in Capricorn and the New Moon in Cancer.

In this episode, we'll look at the upcoming astrology of Gemini Season and how you can use the energy of this season to your advantage, including the Full Moon in Sagittarius and the New Moon in Gemini. For more on Gemini Season and how to know if it's in or out of balance for you, check out the Gemini Season Guidebook in the shop or join me in the Soul Care Cottage (where you get the Gemini Season Guidebook for free!).

You may have heard me talk about the moon phases and how they are good for specific actions or how the zodiac signs flavor how the moon feels each day like a Moon in Aries is impulsive, but a Moon in Libra wants beauty and peace. But did you know that you can also get some insight into your personality by looking at which moon phase you were born under? Yep, that's right! At the time of your birth, the moon was in a  specific phase, and that phase can say a lot about who you are as a  person. In this episode, we talk about moon phase personalities, what they are, and how you can find yours.

Void Moons are a cosmic snow day.

Do  you miss snow days? I really miss those magical days when it would snow, the school would close, and I could stay at home. Often those days involved napping, some TV watching, and some time outside exploring the woods behind my parent’s house and looking for animal tracks in the snow.

Now when it snows, I still have to show up to work. There is no magical slow down or time out. Life goes on like normal.

But what if I told you that there was a cosmic snow day? A time when the stars supported us in our need to slow down, nurture ourselves, and hear the whispers of our wishes and dreams. Void Moons are these cosmic snow days. Listen to this week's episode to find out what I mean.

WE COVER:

• What Void Moons are

SHOW NOTES

You shouldn't listen to astrologers.

Uhhh.. but Sara... you're an astrologer.  That's what you thinking, right? :) But stay with me. In today's episode, I talk about how easy it is to follow the words of an astrologer  (or anyone in a leadership position) as the ultimate truth and live your life by it. But there is so much more nuance to astrology, and most of it it's personal.

WE COVER:

• Why you shouldn't listen to astrologers
• What to do instead :)

SHOW NOTES

Aries Season began on Saturday, bringing Spring with it.

In western astrology, Aries  Season not only marks the beginning of Spring for the Northern  Hemisphere, but it also marks the start of the astrological New Year.  This is because Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and like any new  beginning, it comes with a rush of energy that has us wanting to go full  speed ahead.

On this episode, we cover Aries Season and how it helps us channel our energy into new beginnings.

WE COVER:

SHOW NOTES

If you're anything like me, you're probably feeling burned out right now.

Burdened by all the noise and chaos of our lives. Overwhelmed by the to-do lists  and choices and feeling the weight of the world on our shoulders. Wondering if you're making the right decision and if things will work  out in the end. Juggling SO so much.

And  while I've mentioned time and time again on this podcast that winter is  the season of rest, for many of us, we don't feel very rested right now.

So today we're taking a look at some of the astrology of burnout, by looking at our natal moon sign for insight into what replenishes our  emotional well at the end of each day.

WE COVER:

Are you searching for your path & purpose?

One of the things I really love about astrology is the guidance we can get from our birth chart, from the position the stars were in at the time of our birth. Now the cosmos don’t have a written plan for us, nothing is set in stone, we have free will, but we can gain insight and get a direction to start searching in by looking to the stars. I look to the North Node for path and purpose questions and today we cover what exactly that means.

WE COVER:

• How astrology can give you clues to your destiny
• The Nodal Axis
• The North Node

We've spent the past month clearing and releasing, gaining a new understanding of where we stand, and having once hidden information illuminated for us, brought out from the shadows and into the light where we can move forward knowing we have all the details we need to do so. But before we can race ahead, we must gather our tools and supplies, take our map out and mark where we are, note where we want to go, and chart the best path to get there. The astrology of this month is all about clarifying the vision and having clear foresight of the path ahead so we can prep and plan our journey forward into 2022 accordingly.

The thing about healing old wounds and patterns is that we have to first know that they are there before we can begin working with them and do the healing work required. November has a bit of rocky energy to do, but it's all for a reason, as we need to be shaken up and shown the mess lurking in the dark corners that we try to not look too closely at.

SHOW NOTES

While September had a lot of Neptune energy, and it felt a little like being on a boat in an unpredictable ocean. You didn't know what you were going to get from day to day. One day there were calm waters and others were rocky and it was all you could do to hold on. October is very different. It's a bit of a tug of war energy and both the New and Full Moons this month are going to echo this while also giving us opportunities to step us as leaders and heal the wounds that are coming to the surface of our subconscious.
