In this episode, we explore the nuanced and often tender relationship between alcohol and spirituality.

Is alcohol sacred or does it disconnect us from our truest selves?

We’ll look at how alcohol has been used in spiritual traditions throughout history from the wine of Christian communion to the abstinence teachings of Islam and how our own rising consciousness can shift our desire to drink.

This conversation isn’t about fear, shame or extremes but about awareness, intention and honouring your own unique path. Whether you’re sober curious, re-evaluating your habits or simply seeking a better understanding, this episode invites you into a more conscious relationship with yourself, your energy, and the choices you make.

Spirits & Spirit: Alcohol & Spirituality

Hi my love, thank you so much for tuning into this week’s episode. Today’s conversation comes straight from your requests and I’m going to dive deep into something many of us have wondered about: the relationship between alcohol and spirituality.
Is alcohol sacred or is it a barrier to the sacred? Let’s explore this together with honesty, curiosity and compassion.
Alcohol has played a complex role in spiritual traditions throughout history. In Christianity, for example, wine holds powerful symbolism—it represents the blood of Jesus Christ and is a key part of the sacred ritual of communion, inviting believers into a shared experience of grace and transformation. Yet, across many other faiths, alcohol is viewed very differently. Islam, for instance, forbids drinking altogether, reflecting concerns about its potential to cloud the mind and spirit.
This creates a fascinating tension: on one hand, alcohol can bring people together, marking celebrations, rites of passage, and moments of community. It can be part of joyful ceremonies and sacred gatherings. On the other hand, alcohol also carries the risk of disconnection, addiction, and harm. So, when we look at alcohol through the lens of spirituality, the question becomes = does it serve as a bridge to the sacred or does it sometimes stand in the way?
In today’s episode, we’ll explore both sides of this paradox and uncover what it means to approach alcohol with mindfulness and self-awareness on your spiritual path.

The energy of alcohol and drinking

Let’s talk energetics for a moment.
Alcohol lowers inhibition, yes. It opens us up. It also numbs the nervous system, distorts perception and can disconnect us from our inner compass if we’re not careful. It’s not just about what we feel physically, but also what’s going on beneath the surface in our subtle bodies.
If you’re someone sensitive to energy—you’ve probably noticed this. A drink might feel light and joyful at first, but too much… and suddenly your intuition goes blurry. Your dreams are off. Your morning meditation feels a little more dull. That doesn’t mean alcohol is “bad.” It means you’re tuning in. When we tune in, we get to choose more consciously. Not from fear, but from alignment.
We all have this energetic field around called your aura that acts like a protective bubble. It keeps us steady and helps us hold our own energy. Alcohol and other things that disrupt our natural rhythm can create little weak spots in this field, making us feel more sensitive or vulnerable to outside influences. It’s kind of like your personal energetic shield getting a tiny crack.
If you’re someone who tunes into your intuition or works with psychic or energetic senses, you might notice that alcohol creates a kind of haze, making it harder to connect clearly—to yourself, and to others on a deeper level. It’s why many spiritual practitioners like myself recommend steering clear of alcohol before doing any kind of energy work, channeling or meditation.

None of this is about judgment or fear. It’s about understanding how alcohol interacts with our energy, so you can make choices that feel aligned and right for you.

The rise of being spiritually sober

These days many people rethinking their relationship with alcohol for spiritual reasons. Perhaps you want clarity. You want presence. You want a higher connection.
Now, here’s my truth: I don’t really drink much anymore. Like, I’ll go months at a time without touching a drop. Not out of restriction or rules or shame. It’s just… I don’t crave it. I don’t need it. I don’t even want it. I want to arrive fully present no chaser to speak. I’ll take my suffering raw because I have a regulated nervous system, I have the tools and know how to regulate my nervous system.
These days, I’m way more of a kombucha girl. Give me something fizzy, fermented, with that tangy little punch, and I’m happy. Honestly, it feels better in my body, and it keeps my channel clear—you know what I mean?
There’s no rule or big declaration behind it. It’s not a moral thing, and it’s definitely not shame-based. It’s just that I’ve found, over time, that when I’m clear—when my system is clean—I can hear myself better. I can feel the Divine more directly. My body says thank you. I’m not anti-alcohol. I don’t believe in extremes. I think there’s space for moderation—and even celebration—in a spiritual life.
I’ve had some beautiful, sacred experiences having a glass of of champagne to celebrate a business win or just soaking in pleasure in the markets in Spain with one of my best friends oysters and red wine, divine.
If I drink I don’t drink to get out of my body. I drink to be in it. Taste it. Breathe. Stay awake. Present. I also know my limits and honour those.

A life coach's perspective on drinking alcohol & spirituality

From my perspective as a life coach and personally the most important think is to be aware of your mindset when consuming alcohol and doing so with respect. When we look at ancient philosophical views Aristotle advocated for moderation in all things, including pleasures like wine, suggesting virtue lies between excess and deficiency. In the field of stoicism, some stoics permitted moderate drinking if it didn’t compromise self control, emphasising intention and inner discipline.
If you’re walking the “less alcohol” path like I am, here are a few soul-honouring alternatives as I mentioned kombucha, mocktails and cacao which I adore – Sacred, heart-opening, and deeply grounding. I’ve had some of my most connected, spiritually rich evenings with a mug of cacao and a candle—not a drop of alcohol in sight.

Why you want to drink less as you become more "spiritual" and self aware

As we grow in awareness and deepen our connection to ourselves and the world around us, something naturally shifts inside. Our cravings for things like alcohol often start to fade — not because of strict rules or pressure, but because our inner landscape is changing. We begin to crave clarity, presence and genuine connection more than any temporary escape. The subtle energies within us become more sensitive, and we start to notice how different choices affect our mood, our spirit soul and our overall sense of wellbeing. With this rising consciousness, the desire to drink lessens, replaced by a natural preference for experiences that truly nourish and uplift us.

Drinking is human

It’s also vital to take a moment to be realistic.
Drinking is human. It’s woven into our stories, our cultures, our celebrations. It’s the wedding toast, the birthday clink, the long night of laughter with friends doing rounds and sometimes it’s also the quiet glass alone after a long day, or the reach for relief when things feel a little too much.
While yes, we can talk about being aware, intentional sipping, ritual and reverence—we also need to hold space for this truth: Alcohol is not great for your body. Alcohol does have a chemical impact on your nervous system, your body, your energy. That’s real.
The science is clear. Even moderate drinking can:
Disrupt sleep
Increase anxiety
Impact liver and heart health
Raise the risk of certain cancers
Dull cognitive clarity—both short-term and long-term
If you’re on a spiritual path—where presence, intuition, and energetic sensitivity are part of the practice—those effects can feel even more amplified.
So why do we still drink? Because we’re human. Because it’s social. Because it’s a habit. Because it’s comforting. Because sometimes, the need to numb can feel louder than the call to heal. And that’s okay. This isn’t about guilt. This isn’t about shame. This is about compassion—for ourselves, for the parts of us that reached for the drink before we had better tools, and for the ways we’ve coped while learning to soften without shutting down.

Why do you drink alcohol?

It’s okay to hold both truths I know this isn’t great for me and I’m on a journey to meet my needs in kinder, clearer ways.
What matters isn’t perfection: it’s awareness. It’s asking yourself, What is this drink doing for me right now? Is there something else I truly need?
Sometimes the answer is connection. Sometimes it’s grounding. Sometimes it’s simply a pause.
And guess what? Those are all things you can create with or without the wine.
Healing isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s not about never drinking again. It’s about learning to listen to yourself more honestly, and choosing from a place of love and consciousness —not fear.

Questions to consider drinking alcohol as a spiritual person

Ultimately there isn’t a right answer. For some, alcohol is a sacred part of ritual and joy For others, it’s an escape and numbing tool which blocks something deeper. What matters is your intention and your awareness.
So if you’re someone who’s questioning your relationship with alcohol not from a place of shame, but from a place of alignment—I see you. You don’t have to label yourself. You don’t have to make it a thing. Just ask yourself: Does this support the life I want to live? Does this support the spirit I want to embody?
Here are a few things to think about when you’re approaching drinking and spirituality.
When you drink, what are you seeking?
How does drinking impact your connection to yourself, others and spirit?

What does spiritual clarity mean to you?

Compassion and curiosity are key in drinking alcohol and spirituality
As we wrap up today’s conversation, I want to invite you to lean into this journey with gentle curiosity and kindness toward yourself. Whether you choose to drink or not, the most important thing is that you do it from a place of awareness—honouring your body, your spirit, and your unique path.
Let’s work together to cultivate a more conscious relationship with alcohol and all our choices. When we bring presence and compassion to these everyday decisions, we open the door to deeper.
If this episode resonated with you, , I’d love for you to share it with someone who might need to hear this message and I also invite you to take it a step further by working with me one on one in coaching. Together, we can deepen your connection to yourself, support your healing, and create the freedom to live your truth fully.
Remember: your journey is uniquely yours, and you’re never alone on the path.
Until next time love & positivity

Two years ago, I put my most personal lessons into a book — a snapshot of my unlearning up until that point… but growth never stops, and the words I wrote then have continued to evolve as I do. In this anniversary episode, I’m sharing what it’s like to look back at my own teachings and add on with lived experience: the ways my understanding of love, family, success, self, and spirituality has deepened.
I reflect on everything from embracing seasons of effort and ease, to realising that true love blooms alongside deeper self acceptance, to unlearning inherited patterns that no longer fit.
Most of all, I explore what it means to keep becoming — to live my own story as an evolving process rather than a tidy, completed chapter.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens after you say, “I’ve learned this,” this episode is for you. Let’s honour the journey together and embrace the beautiful unfolding that happens after we put pen to paper.

Two Years of The Great Unlearning

Hi there, we’re so back. Had a little mini unexpected but expected break. Things have been really busy in my world and a month ago I ran the Flow Retreat in Vietnam and this evening I’ll be running the kick off call for the Recharge and Renew Bali Retreat in August which is sold out. The final retreat I will be running in 2025 is also in Bali at the end of September if you’re interested, send me a message as it hasn’t been publicly officially launched yet.
Today happens to be the 2nd anniversary of my book The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life. Happy birthday to my baby and in honour of this birthday and celebration I thought I would talk about my journey Two Years of Unlearning My Own Teachings. Growth is expansion.
You know, it’s funny how a book can feel like a time capsule — a snapshot of who you were and what you believed in a particular moment. Two years ago, I poured my heart onto those pages. Every word was true to me then. I guess what I didn’t fully realise at the time is that those words would also become seeds… seeds that would continue to grow in me as much as they might grow in you.
So as I reflect on these two years — celebrating this book’s anniversary — I’m less interested in rewriting what I wrote and more interested in adding on. Adding those subtle new threads that life, practice, and my own unlearning have revealed.
Unlearning Success

Expanding on success and abundance feels like opening a wider door — beyond just seasons or mindset, into the energetic dance that happens between us and the flow of life.
Since writing the book, I’ve become more aware of how deeply our relationship to success is intertwined with our inner alignment — not just what we do, but who we are in each moment. Success isn’t just the visible achievements or milestones; it’s also the invisible states of being: the patience in waiting, the trust in timing, the surrender when things don’t move as planned. These inner states carry an energy that either opens the channel for abundance or blocks it.
I notice when I’m pushing against my own values and boundaries — when I’m forcing myself to hustle out of scarcity or fear. That kind of push drains my energy and leads to frustration and burnout. When I align my actions with what truly matters to me, honouring my boundaries and staying true to my values, I move from a place of deep alignment and joy.
This energetic awareness has become my compass — guiding me to recognise when it’s time to step forward with purpose and when it’s time to pause and protect my energy. It helps me navigate the flow between effort and ease, so I can create space for growth without losing myself in the process.
Money itself — it becomes less a goal and more a mirror. It reflects back my beliefs about worth, deserving, and security. This deep dance between who I am energetically and how I move through the world has taught me that true success feels expansive, not just productive. It invites me to celebrate the fullness of my experience — the work, the rest, the receiving, and the giving — all woven together in a cycle that’s uniquely mine.

Unlearning Self

Unlearning self has been one of the most profound parts of this journey — especially as I approached and entered my thirties.
There’s a lot of cultural noise about turning 30 — the stereotypes and fears that come with it, like it’s a deadline or a crisis point. Many people feel this pressure wondering they have arrived or are I somehow running out of time.
What feels like the best part of this decade so far is how well I know myself. The confidence and centeredness that come from years of both struggle and growth have created a steady foundation inside me. I’m less swayed by external expectations and more anchored in my own truth.
Aging is a privilege — one that allows us to shed illusions, embrace our full complexity, and move through life with a kind of grace and clarity that only time can give. Unlearning the fear around aging and the self-imposed limitations that come with it has been liberating. I welcome each year not as a countdown but as a new layer of wisdom and freedom.

Unlearning Masculine to Feminine Energy

Deepening my embodiment of the feminine has been a sacred and ongoing journey — one that touches every part of my life, especially my relationships and my work.
In my relationships, embodying the feminine means embracing receptivity, vulnerability, and intuitive knowing. It’s about allowing space for softness and emotional depth, even when the world around me feels chaotic or demanding. This isn’t about weakness — far from it. It’s a profound strength that comes from being fully present with my feelings, honouring the ebb and flow of connection, and trusting that surrender can be just as powerful as holding steady.
In my work with clients, this embodiment translates into creating a container where deep listening and gentle guidance open the door for transformation. It’s less about pushing or fixing and more about facilitating a space where clients can access their own inner wisdom and healing. Teaching from this place requires me to embody patience, compassion, and trust — qualities often associated with the feminine — which invites a different kind of growth: one that happens in cycles, not linear progressions.
The feminine energy I’m cultivating is grounded in embodiment — in knowing my body as a source of intelligence and power, in moving through the world with grace and presence. It invites me to balance action with stillness, to honor intuition alongside strategy, and to lead with heart as much as mind.
This deepening feminine presence feels like coming home to myself again and again — a reminder that strength and softness coexist, and that true power flows from embracing all parts of who I am.

Unlearning Love

This isn’t the fairytale ending one would have hoped for, but it is a happily-ever-after story. That’s what I wrote in the chapter “Love Story,” and I still believe it. It was never just about the ending — it was about the journey and all the ways we grow along the way. In the two years since writing those words, my understanding of love and partnership has deepened in ways I couldn’t have imagined back then particularly now.
Especially moving into my early thirties and stepping into a post–Saturn Return version of myself, my priorities have shifted. I’m not just dating for myself anymore; I’m dating with my future children in mind, with their father in mind. That adds a kind of sacred weight to my choices — not pressure, but a deeper commitment to honouring what I truly value. I look for someone who can grow alongside me, someone I can build a life with, not just a fleeting romance. Be with the man who wants to be a husband and father not just one that wants a wife and baby.
As I’ve learned to embrace myself more fully — making peace with the parts of me that once felt too much or never enough — my capacity to love my partner has grown too. The more of myself I embrace, the more of them I can embrace. Love feels less like a checklist of what someone can do for me and more like a practice of showing up for one another in all our humanity. True love isn’t easy, but it can feel effortless in the sense that you want to grow together. Even when it’s challenging, there’s a shared sense that becoming wiser, softer, more real is part of the deal. That’s the version of “happily-ever-after” I wish I’d painted before — one that feels alive and evolving, just like we are.
And here’s something I’d also add on, something that only experience could have taught me: always trust your instincts. Even those small pink or white flags that feel easy to overlook — they rarely disappear. They tend to grow into the very red flags that can end a relationship. That gentle, persistent hesitation you feel? That’s your intuition trying to protect you, and honouring it is an act of deep self-love. Safety — emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual — is not optional. It’s the foundation for real intimacy. Without it, you can’t truly open, and without openness, you can’t truly grow together.
That’s what I want to leave you with now: knowing that it’s never just about a perfect ending. It’s about a truthful, wholehearted process. It’s about the courage to recognise when something is off, the compassion to grow through it, and the faith that real love will meet you where you are — in all your honesty, all your softness, and all your strength.

Unlearning Family

You are restoring your family to the core of what family is: love. You get to be the one future generations will remember as the remarkable soul who was the turning point of change for the betterment of the family tree… that’s the thing about family and lineage — it isn’t a closed story.
Since writing those words, I’ve come to see just how much deeper the roots go. Visiting Vietnam these past few years, meeting relatives I never knew existed, hearing their stories told in my mother tongue — all of it has opened a door in me that I didn’t even know was there.
I thought I was breaking generational patterns to make my family’s future lighter and freer, and I am. But reconnecting with my ancestry has also shown me the richness that was already there — the resilience, love and heart that carried my family through hardships I could hardly imagine. Unlearning family isn’t just about shedding pain and expectations; it’s also about rediscovering the treasures that were lost or forgotten along the way.
It’s making me proud — so proud — of my culture and my roots. I’ve realised that part of this unlearning is also cultural unlearning: releasing the shame or disconnect I inherited, embracing the beauty of my language, my food, my traditions, my people. It’s like weaving my ancestors’ strength into my present story, so my future children will grow up knowing they come from something powerful and sacred.
Most of all, I’ve learned that the most healing version of “family” is one that honours both where we come from and where we’re going. It’s choosing to hold the best parts your lineage and yourself to evolve beyond the patterns that no longer serve. That’s the real work of becoming the turning point of change: we don’t just unlearn what was painful, we also reclaim what was beautiful, so that love is truly at the core of who we are becoming.

Unlearning Spirituality

When I look back on my unlearning around spirituality, one of the most freeing realizations has been that God — the Universe, Source, Spirit — isn’t “out there,” waiting to be reached. It’s already here. It is me. Being human is the spiritual practice. Every breath, every misstep, every tender moment is a ritual.
In that practice, discipline becomes devotion. Showing up for myself, the divine that lives within me every day — whether it’s meditation, journaling, movement, prayer — feels less like a duty and more like a sacred tending. My teacher in India once told me that each of us is like gold underneath the dust. It doesn’t matter what life has covered us with; the gold itself never tarnishes. It only needs gentle polishing to reveal its brilliance again. That’s what this devotion feels like — a daily return to my own light.
And as I polish my own soul, I’m also honoring the sacredness that weaves through all paths. The divine doesn’t recognize the borders we draw around names or traditions. Whether I whisper prayers to Goddess Isis under an Egyptian sky, offer my heart to Ganesh and Narayani on my altar, bow to Quan Âm in Vietnam, or feel the compassion of Fatimah — it is all one light, one source moving through different hands and different histories.
That’s what I want to carry forward in my practice: that every culture, every path, every deity reflects some part of my own humanity back to me. Every ritual, every prayer, every lineage is simply a different way of polishing the same gold. And when I remember this — that my divinity is already present and my discipline is just devotion — I feel at home in my soul again.

Celebrating The Great Unlearning

Your journey with this book is alive — it’s not a one-and-done experience. Even if you’ve read it once, you’re a different person every time you come back. Life changes us, and so does what we need from the words we return to. My hope for these “add-ons” is that they give you permission to read your own life the same way — as a living, evolving story that’s constantly unfolding.
Unlearning is never finished. It’s a process of peeling back old layers, challenging the stories you’ve been told, and making space for new ways of being that feel truer to who you really are. There’s so much more for all of us to grow into — more freedom, more joy, more self-love, and more connection. Sometimes, that growth happens more easily when you have someone walking beside you, reflecting your light and helping you navigate the parts that feel tricky or stuck.
If you feel called to deepen your unlearning journey, to step more fully into your power, or simply want support in creating a life that feels aligned and meaningful — I’m here for you. Working together through life and or business and or human design coaching, we can explore your unique path, uncover what’s holding you back, and build new habits, mindsets, and practices that honour the fullest expression of you.
You don’t have to do this alone. When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out, and let’s walk this evolving story together. Your next chapter deserves to be the most vibrant and best one yet.
Until next time.

The full moon this month in May 2025 is happening in Scorpio

Hello my love,
How are you feeling in the thick of this full moon, arguably one of the most intense for 2025 if we didn’t already get served that with the ending of the eclipse season. The full moon is on the 12th of May 2025 and 13th of May 2025 here in Australia.
This is not a moon for surface-level insights. It’s a time of depth, transformation and truth telling. Scorpio doesn’t whisper; it pierces. In this episode I’m explore the energies at play, including powerful energetic formations and and the voice of assimilation in Human Design, a voice that reminds us that real clarity arises from the silence after we’ve surrendered control. This is your permission slip to stop trying to fix, rush, or control anything and instead, let the mystery reveal itself to you.
What planets rule Scorpio? Mars and Pluto

It’s the Scorpio full moon. Scorpio is ruled by two planets: Mars and Pluto. Mars is considered the traditional ruler, and Pluto is the modern ruler. Both of these planets explain different layers of Scorpio’s intense and mysterious personality.
Mars, in astrology, is the planet of action, drive, and passion. It’s all about how you go after what you want. Before Pluto was discovered, Mars was the only ruler of Scorpio. While Mars also rules Aries (which is bold and fast), in Scorpio, Mars shows up in a more controlled, focused way. Instead of charging forward like Aries, Scorpio’s Mars is more strategic, emotionally driven, and intense. Think of it like a slow-burning fire — it might look calm on the outside, but it’s powerful underneath.
Then there’s Pluto, which was discovered in the 1930s. Even though it’s a tiny planet (and no longer considered a planet by astronomers), astrologers gave it to Scorpio because its energy matched so well. Pluto is about transformation, power, secrets, and the cycle of death and rebirth — emotionally, spiritually, or even literally. This gives Scorpio its reputation for being deep, mysterious, and a little bit obsessed with what’s under the surface. Pluto’s influence makes Scorpio want to understand the truth behind things, even if it’s dark or uncomfortable.

Death is the beginning for Scorpio transformation

Together, Mars and Pluto explain why Scorpio energy can feel so intense because it’s driven (Mars), and it’s deep and transformative (Pluto). Scorpio doesn’t just want the surface-level version of life. It wants to go all the way down to the core: to understand, to feel, to change, and to rise again stronger.
Scorpio whispers to you that you are not here to stay the same. You are here to shed skin again and again until your essence gleams clean and true beneath the weight of all you’ve outgrown. You are here to walk willingly into the fire, not because you enjoy the burn, but because you know the ashes will teach you how to rise.
Let the identity that no longer fits dissolve.
Let the fear of being too much or too deep fall away.
Let the past version of you be honoured and buried.
Sometimes death is the beginning not the kind that ends life, but the kind that ends the pretending. The kind that clears the noise, the masks, the outdated roles. In the stillness that follows, you don’t need to rush to rebuild. Just breathe. Notice what remains. What’s true will stay. What’s real will rise. This is the quiet power of rebirth: not in becoming something new, but in remembering what’s always been beneath it all.

The Scorpio Full Moon is asking you to confront and face things head on

Energetically, Scorpio is about facing the shadows, confronting what’s hidden, and diving into the depths of our own psyche. The Full Moon in Scorpio brings to light what has been suppressed or avoided, urging us to release the emotional baggage, attachments or illusions we’ve been carrying. Scorpio energy is intensely purging, but also regenerative.
This isn’t about forcing change; it’s about allowing change to unfold through release. The Full Moon’s illumination creates a powerful moment for soul-level growth — it’s nature’s cosmic invitation to let go of what no longer serves us and to rise anew, more authentic and aligned with our truest self.

Scorpio is the Zodiac's seductress

Scorpio is the Zodiac’s seductress and knowing that you don’t need to chase anything — things are drawn to you when you align with your authentic self. Scorpio teaches that true seduction is rooted in self confidence, in the ability to sit in your own power without needing validation. Let go of the idea that you have to prove anything. Let your energy speak for itself. Trust that when you are fully you, the right people and opportunities will naturally gravitate toward you
Under this Full Moon in May, perhaps the greatest act of seduction is to seduce yourself — to fall in love with your own mystery, your own depth, your own complexity. Scorpio energy is about exploring the hidden corners of your soul, uncovering truths that you’ve kept tucked away. It’s not about seeking approval or validation from others; it’s about embracing your own power and allure, even when no one else is watching.

Scorpio Sensuality

Seduction here isn’t about enticing others; it’s about captivating yourself. Slow down and become deeply present with your own energy. Feel the sensuality in your own existence, the way your body moves through the world, the way your thoughts and dreams intertwine. There’s a quiet allure in honouring your inner world — an invitation to fall in love with your own essence. It’s about creating a connection with yourself so deep, so unshakeable, that nothing and no one can disturb your peace.

Let go of control with the Scorpio Full Moon

Something else that strongly comes through when I channel the energy of this full moon is the invitation to release the tight grip you have on control. Do you not trust life and the universe, it’s infinite wisdom and intelligence that it created us and life perfectly?
The more you try to control the outcomes, the more you distance yourself from the flow of life.
Scorpio teaches us that surrender isn’t a sign of weakness, but of profound strength. It is in the act of letting go that you make room for true transformation. Trust that life is unfolding in a way that you cannot yet see, but will soon understand. Your attachment to how things “should” be is the very thing that blocks your growth.
Relinquish the need for certainty. Life’s most significant moments often arrive unexpectedly, and they demand your ability to trust in the process. Releasing control doesn’t mean you’re passive — it’s about being active in your trust, fully embracing the ebb and flow of life’s changes. When you trust the process, you align with the natural rhythm of the universe, and things unfold as they should. Remember, you are not in control of every situation, but you are always in control of how you respond and right now, the most powerful response is to let go.

Scorpio and the Underworld

Not only does Scorpio seduce it rules the underworld a space not of darkness and fear but of deep transformation. The underworld represents the parts of ourselves that we often bury, the emotions and experiences that we hide from the surface, fearing they might overwhelm us.
Yet, it is only by descending into this shadowy realm that we can truly know ourselves. Scorpio’s energy urges you to face the unconscious, to uncover the parts of your psyche that are waiting to be seen and healed. In the underworld, there are no pretences, no facades. What is real is revealed, and what is no longer necessary can be shed.
This Scorpio Full Moon encourages you to look into your own underworld — to confront the things you’ve been avoiding. It’s not about casting judgment on these hidden parts of yourself; it’s about understanding them, accepting them, and integrating them into your conscious being. The underworld isn’t a place of punishment or fear but of profound healing. It’s where you face your wounds, your regrets, your deep seated fears, and transform them.
May you see the darkness as treasures. Maybe you fear the dark because you don’t know it. Because you haven’t spent time with it. You don’t understand it yet.

Uranus opposes the Moon - Scorpio Full Moon

Do keep in mind this current Scorpio Full Moon is opposing Uranus, it brings a time of unexpected emotional shifts and surprises. When these two energies are in opposition, it can feel like emotions are being shaken up out of nowhere, and things you thought were stable can suddenly become unpredictable.
During this time, you might experience emotional breakthroughs or even some emotional turbulence. You could find yourself reacting in ways that are out of character, or new insights might emerge that challenge your previous understanding of yourself or situations around you.
This is a time where old emotional patterns might be disrupted, and this disruption can feel jarring, but it also offers an opportunity for growth. It’s like the universe is pushing you to release what’s no longer serving you and embrace a more authentic version of yourself.
This opposition can also bring sudden changes in your personal life or your emotional state, catching you off guard. You may feel the urge to break free from old attachments or situations that no longer feel true to who you are. While it might be uncomfortable, this unexpected energy is often necessary for your personal evolution. Instead of resisting it, try to lean into the change and allow the unexpected moments to teach you something new about yourself and your emotional world.

Finger of God - Scorpio Full Moon

Without getting too astrologically technical, the moon is energetically so to speak in the middle of a formation called the finger of God, an astrological alignment is considered significant because it often indicates moments of fated change, pivotal decisions or unexpected shifts (amplified by Uranus). Jupiter in Gemini and Chiron in Aries are forming the other points of this planetary alignment, creating a situation where our emotions (Moon) are being influenced by the tension between two opposing forces: growth and healing.
Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is in Gemini, which speaks to the need to open our minds, gain new perspectives and break free from outdated beliefs that have been holding us back. Meanwhile, Chiron in Aries represents deep emotional wounds, especially those tied to our sense of self and identity. It’s about confronting painful areas within ourselves and finding healing through embracing our vulnerability and courage.

Reckoning this Scorpio Full Moon May 2025

Thus the word coming through is reckoning. This reckoning when I see it visually shown to me is also like a storm passing through a dense forest. At first, the winds howl and shake the trees, uprooting old branches, leaving the forest feeling raw and exposed. However once the storm clears, the trees stand taller, the air is fresher, and the forest is ready for new growth.
In practical terms, reckoning means taking inventory. What are you still carrying that isn’t yours? Where are you forcing things out of fear, rather than allowing space for truth to emerge? This is the work: naming the avoidance, tracking your reactions, feeling what you’ve been numbing, and getting curious instead of defensive. It’s less about “fixing” yourself and more about finally facing yourself. Journaling, coaching, embodied practices, solitude — these aren’t fluffy spiritual tasks, they’re the tools that help you hold the mirror steady when your old identities begin to unravel.

Entering the void this Scorpio Full Moon May 2025

And then there’s the part no one likes to talk about: the in-between. After the storm, before the new shoots. The void. Reckoning doesn’t always come with a roadmap. You might not know exactly who you’re becoming yet and that’s the whole point. The invitation is to stay present in the not-knowing without rushing to fill the space. Because in that space, real transformation begins. You rebuild with intention. You start listening differently. You choose differently. And you stop living on autopilot. That’s when the reckoning becomes a rebirth. Quiet, raw, real.

Human Design energy Scorpio Full Moon May 2025

From a human design perspective the energy of this Scorpio Full Moon in May 2025 is assimilation, the voice within you that says “I know.” This knowing isn’t intellectual or forced —it’s organic, intuitive, and often arrives in moments of stillness or solitude. This is the energy of Simplification.
It takes complex inner truths and distills them into something clear and concise, something others can actually understand. Under a Scorpio Full Moon where emotions run deep and subconscious material rises to the surface, this collective energy can act like a translator for your soul. It helps you name or perhaps label what’s been hidden in the shadows. It doesn’t come from rushing or performing; it comes from trusting your internal timing and allowing clarity to form naturally.
When you’re in the shadow of this human design energy, you might feel misunderstood, pressured to explain yourself, or frustrated because your insights don’t seem to land. You might overtalk, overexplain or try to make something palatable when it’s simply not ready to be shared. Under this moon, notice where you’re trying to force insight instead of letting it emerge. Scorpio teaches us to sit with the discomfort, the unknown, the silence and this human design energy of assimilation echoes this by reminding you that true wisdom doesn’t always come with words right away. Part of the Scorpio initiation is learning to hold power without needing immediate validation.

Question: Why does it feel so intense? Like emotionally but also somehow calming. Confused

Answer: Because your soul already knows — it’s moved ahead, it’s aligned, it’s clear. But your human self is still catching up. That emotional intensity is the space between what you know deep down and what you’re still learning to live out loud. It’s the aftershock of a shift that’s already happened energetically, even if it hasn’t fully landed in your day-to-day yet.
After big transitions or rebirths, we often rush to do the next thing but integration takes time. Your nervous system, your heart, your habits they all need a moment to adjust to who you’re becoming. So yes, it feels intense and calm, because something has ended and something new has begun. You’re not lost, you’re actually landing.

Question: Trying to decide on what action to take, a few options opened up to me.

Answer what if the most potent action isn’t doing more, but letting go? The full moon has a way of illuminating what’s been hidden, showing us where we’re out of alignment, even if we’ve been trying to push through. It’s not just a time for momentum — it’s a mirror.
Letting go is its own kind of action: one rooted in trust, not fear. And from that space of release, the next aligned choice will often rise on its own, quiet and clear.
The second thing I feel coming through is that making a decision under a full moon isn’t about forcing clarity… it’s about noticing what keeps pulling at you. The full moon brings everything to the surface, including the things you keep circling back to. Instead of asking yourself what you should do, ask yourself: where is my energy naturally flowing? What choices or desires keep returning, even when I try to ignore them?
Sometimes, what we label as confusion is really just a fear of trusting what we already know. Full moons can reveal patterns: the way we loop, delay or stay stuck but they also offer insight into what’s been quietly consistent beneath the chaos. If something keeps resurfacing, it’s worth asking why. Is it calling you forward, or is it a lesson you’re finally ready to close?
Clarity under a full moon often comes not from control, but from paying attention to your own energetic patterns and trusting that the repetition is speaking to something deeper.
After big transitions or rebirths, we often rush to do the next thing but integration takes time. Your nervous system, your heart, your habits they all need a moment to adjust to who you’re becoming. So yes, it feels intense and calm, because something has ended and something new has begun. You’re not lost, you’re actually landing.

Question: How do I make the most of this current energy of the Scorpio Full Moon?

I’m glad you asked! A great segway to some journal prompts for food thought under this full moon (most potent in the lead up to, day of and 3 days after the full moon). I’m keeping it succinct with 5 but they’re pretty deep!
What part of yourself have you been hiding from the world, and why are you so afraid to show it? What would happen if you stopped hiding and allowed that part to be seen?
If you could meet your deepest fear in the underworld, what would it look like? What wisdom or strength could you gain from this encounter?
When was the last time you experienced a rebirth in your life? What did you have to let go of in order for that transformation to take place? How can you invite more moments of transformation?
What do you fear most about change and transformation? How does your resistance to change hold you back from stepping into your next level of growth?

What is the greatest illusion you’ve been living under about yourself or your life? How would embracing the truth, however uncomfortable, shift your path forward?
So if things feel uncertain right now, if life seems to be asking more questions than it answers—you’re not lost, you’re in process. This Scorpio Full Moon reminds us that before clarity comes the void, and before rebirth comes release. Let the wisdom of your own inner underworld speak. Let the truths that don’t need explanation rise to the surface. Stay tender, stay brave and let whatever is coming up transform you.
Until next time, love & positivity

Celebrating 111

Hello my love! Welcome to episode 111 of the grow through it podcast. That angel number alone feels like a portal, so it’s only fitting we talk about something equally powerful and often misunderstood: alignment.
It’s become a bit of a buzzword, hasn’t it? “Just align with it.” “That’s not aligned.” But what does it really mean to live in alignment? Not in an Instagram caption kind of way, but in a real, embodied, sometimes messy, deeply honest kind of way?
In this episode, I’m breaking down 11 practical shifts: truths, perspectives and tiny mindset recalibrations — that can help you actually feel what alignment is, not just talk about it.
Let’s demystify the word, anchor it into reality, and maybe, by the end, alignment will feel a little less elusive… and more actionable, achievable, possible.
It’s beautiful timing as I am getting in the creative flow zone channelling for the upcoming Flow Retreat Im running in Vietnam at the end of this month with 7 incredible and beautiful women!
Let’s dive in.
11 Things You Need to Know About Alignment (That No One Talks About)
1. Alignment isn’t a buzzword—it’s a felt experience.

It’s not about having the perfect morning routine, or ticking spiritual practices off a list, collective gold stars from the universe. Alignment is about truth. It’s about how honest you’re willing to be with yourself. It asks: Can you be radically honest with yourself? Can you pause long enough to listen—not just to your mind, but to your body, your breath, your subtle yes and your sacred no? Can you soften into your inner knowing before charging ahead with the next task or to-do?
Alignment isn’t aesthetic. It’s a deep, steady resonance that hums when you’re connected to your yes—and brave enough to honour your no.
Alignment is a felt sense of attunement. Like tuning an instrument, it requires presence. Your body, your heart, your energy field—these are your tuning forks. When something’s off, you feel it. When something’s in flow, you know it—not because someone told you it was the right choice, but because something inside settles. Clicks. Resonates.
There’s also a masculine and feminine dynamic at play here. The masculine in us wants to define alignment with structure: clarity, consistency, action plans, execution. It asks: What does aligned action look like? How can I make this real, productive, measurable. The feminine knows that alignment begins in the unseen. In the quiet. She doesn’t need to define it—she feels it. She invites slowness, sensing, inner listening. The feminine attunes before the masculine acts. She’s the current. The masculine is the container.
When you lead from your feminine—when you allow yourself to feel first—then let your inner masculine take aligned action from that place of truth, things begin to flow. That’s alignment: not forced, not hustled, but integrated. Rooted in the body, expressed through the spirit, and carried out with grounded direction.
It’s not about being in control. It’s about being in tune. Alignment doesn’t follow a script. It follows you.

2. Misalignment shows up in the body before it hits the mind.

So often we think we’re burnt out because we’ve done too much. But what if we’re tired because we’ve done too much of what’s not true? Not enough of the things that make us feel alive.

Misalignment drains life force. You might feel foggy, disconnected, resentful, or stuck in loops of overthinking. Your nervous system contracts and tightens. Your creativity shuts down. These are not failures—they’re feedback. They’re your body calling you back into rhythm.
Your body is wise. It often knows long before your mind can articulate. Misalignment begins subtly—in the gut, the chest, the breath—and only later shows up in thoughts like I’m not motivated, I’m confused, or I just don’t feel like myself anymore.
What’s happening in your inner world eventually ripples out into your external reality.
You may find yourself attracting the wrong people into your life or stuck in relationship dynamics and situations that feel like hard work. You might notice projects stall, timing is off…
So when your body speaks—through fatigue, resistance, or tension—listen. Before you try to push through or problem-solve, ask: Is this really burnout? Or is this my body protecting me from betraying myself again?
Alignment isn’t just about what feels good. It’s about what’s real.

3. Your alignment might not look like anyone else's.

We live in a world that rewards sameness, but alignment is inherently personal. It’s your unique blend of energy, timing, cycles, and capacity. What works for her might not work for you. And that’s not a flaw—it’s a compass. Whether it’s your Human Design, your menstrual cycle, the seasons, or the moon, you’re allowed to orient your life around what actually supports you.
The deeper you know your own unique, natural, beautiful energetic and human design blueprint, the easier it becomes to stop outsourcing authority—and start trusting what feels right over what’s been prescribed. That’s alignment. Not fitting in. But tuning in.

4. Alignment often feels like letting go before it feels like moving forward.

It’s the moment you realise: I can’t keep betraying myself to belong. I can’t keep pushing through when my body says pause. It might feel like nothing is happening—but the letting go is the happening. The clearing. The choosing again. Alignment begins in those subtle, unseen pivots. And those pivots shape everything.
We tend to associate alignment with clarity, momentum, breakthroughs. But often, the first step isn’t expansion — it’s release. It’s the quiet, trembling moment when you realise: I can’t keep betraying myself to belong. I can’t keep pushing through when my body is begging for rest.
And so you let go.
Of the thing that once felt safe. The role that earned you approval. The pace that made you feel productive. The identity you outgrew. You let go — not because it’s easy, but because holding on would cost you your truth.
It might not look like much on the outside. It might even feel like nothing is happening. But the letting go is the happening. Before anything new can root itself, you have to clear what no longer fits. That’s where alignment begins.

5. Aligned action doesn’t require certainty.

There’s a misconception that once you’re in alignment, everything will be crystal clear. That you’ll feel 100% ready, resourced and confident before you move. Real alignment doesn’t always come with a guarantee. It often requires you to leap before you know where you’ll land. The good ol’ leap of faith, the fool in the tarot deck.
Aligned action isn’t the absence of fear — it’s movement that honours truth, even in the presence of fear. It’s taking the next step not because you’re certain, but because something inside you says this is mine to do. Not forever. Not for always. Right now.
The mind craves certainty. It wants to map out every outcome before it takes a risk. But the body? Your feminine intuition. The body knows in moments. There’s a resonance. A pull. A soft, magnetic yes that doesn’t always make logical sense but feels deeply, inexplicably right.
Aligned action says: I don’t need to know the whole path. I just need to trust the next step.
It’s deeply feminine in that way: responsive, intuitive, alive. Yet it calls on your inner masculine too; to honour the signal with movement. To protect the truth with choice.
You don’t need to be fearless. You don’t need to be certain. You just need to be willing to listen and to trust what you hear.

6. Alignment is dynamic—it’s alive, changing.

Alignment isn’t a one-time destination you reach and then stay at. It’s a living, breathing experience, constantly shifting, evolving and responding to the rhythms of your life.
This dynamic quality of alignment mirrors the dance between feminine and masculine energies. The feminine represents the flow, the intuition, the ebb and flow of emotion and the cyclical nature of life. She’s responsive, ever-changing, and fluid. In contrast, the masculine energy brings the structure, the direction and the clarity of action. He’s the container, the grounded force that brings what’s felt in the feminine into form.
When alignment is dynamic, it’s about learning to navigate between these energies — knowing when to surrender to the flow and when to anchor yourself into purposeful action. The feminine calls for trust and receptivity; she guides you to surrender to what is, to feel what’s true in the present moment. Then, the masculine energy takes that internal wisdom and grounds it into reality with clear, decisive action.
Sometimes, you’ll need more of one energy than the other. Sometimes you’ll be deep in the feminine, flowing through cycles and emotions, and other times, you’ll need to step into the masculine: acting on what you’ve learned, creating boundaries, or building something tangible.
This dynamic balance means that alignment isn’t about always being in one fixed state, it’s about learning to dance with change. You respond to what’s real in each moment, whether that means resting, creating, acting, or letting go. Alignment is the space where the two energies meet, constantly flowing, moving, shifting and yet always deeply, fundamentally aligned with your truth.

7. When you're aligned, your decisions become simple.

Alignment doesn’t mean every decision feels easy. It doesn’t mean you never doubt or hesitate. But when you’re aligned, decisions become clear.
The more you align with your truth, the more you learn to trust your intuition. There’s a soft confidence that emerges, a deep knowing that the next step is yours to take. It might not always be the easiest step, but it will always feel right. You’ll stop second guessing and instead act from the place of knowing that you’re leading yourself in the direction that serves you—not what others think you should do, but what feels alive for you.
This is where the real power lies. No more confusion, no more overwhelming choices — just clarity, presence and a steady pulse of certainty guiding you forward.

8. Alignment is flow.

Alignment isn’t something you force or chase. It’s a state of flow—one that comes when you stop fighting against the current and instead start moving with it. It’s a quiet surrender to life’s natural rhythms, where everything feels just right, not because you’ve planned it, but because you’ve learned to trust the process.
When you’re aligned, you become less about pushing through and more about being. It’s like being carried downstream: where you’re still actively engaged, but you’re not swimming upstream. You’re simply following the flow, moving in harmony with the direction life is taking you. It’s not about striving for control; it’s about responding to what comes next, with clarity and confidence, knowing you’re exactly where you need to be.
So perhaps alignment is less about forcing a flow and more about recognising when you’re already in it. You begin to notice where things click into place; conversations that land, timing that feels divine, choices that energise instead of deplete. This is where life starts to feel spacious, magnetic, even magical and that’s exactly the space we’re opening inside the Flow Retreat. You start to notice the difference between pushing and participating. You soften into the knowing that you don’t have to grip tightly to make something happen. Instead, you learn to work with life, not against it.
Flow isn’t something you achieve, it’s something you remember. It’s a return to your natural state, before all the conditioning that told you to hurry, harden, or hold it all together. Flow is the essence of feminine alignment. It doesn’t bulldoze through resistance. In this state, you’re not performing your life, you’re inhabiting it.
The feminine doesn’t just want movement, it wants meaning. Flow happens when your choices nourish you while also stretching you. It’s not always light and graceful; sometimes it’s gritty, emotional, untamed. But even then, there’s a current running through you, a knowing that you’re in integrity with yourself. That you’re creating, relating, expressing, from a place that is real.
Flow isn’t about floating it’s about feeling fully. Feminine alignment invites you to stop bracing against life and start moving with it. In that movement, you begin to meet yourself again — not as a project to fix, but as a pulse to follow.

9. Harmony and alignment are deeply intertwined.

Alignment is the state of being true to your deepest self, while harmony is the result when all the elements of your being: mind, body, heart, soul, spirit and environment—are in balance with each other.
Think of alignment as tuning an instrument. When every string, every note is precisely in place, the music flows effortlessly. Similarly, when you’re aligned, everything inside you is in tune: your desires, your actions, your values, your energy—they all resonate at the same frequency. This is where harmony lives.
Harmony is not about perfection. It’s not about everything being exactly as you expect. It’s about the feeling that comes when the pieces of your life fit together naturally, when you’re not forcing, when you’re not pushing or struggling. Instead, things flow because you’re in tune with your truth.
When you’re aligned, you become like that well-tuned instrument, creating a harmonious sound wherever you go. There’s less friction, less resistance. Instead, there’s a steady, clear energy that draws the right experiences, people, and opportunities into your life without the struggle.
So, alignment creates harmony by helping you find that internal coherence. In that coherence, the external world begins to respond with ease and flow.

10. Be with your own rhythm when it comes to alignment.

There’s a natural rhythm that lives inside you — one that isn’t forced or prescribed, but deeply felt. It’s the rhythm your body and soul already know, the one that quietly leads you through life in a way that actually supports who you are at your core.
Your natural rhythm is the pace at which your nervous system feels safe, your heart feels open, and your creativity can breathe. It’s not the speed of the world around you, it’s the frequency of you. It speaks in sensations, in gut feelings, in the rise and fall of your energy throughout the day or month. It asks you to trust your own timing, even when it looks different from what others expect.
You stop measuring your worth by how quickly you move or how much you achieve. Instead, you begin to orient your life around what genuinely supports your vitality, your expansion, your peace. This is alignment — an act of self loyalty. Honouring your natural rhythm can feel radical in a world that rewards urgency. But it’s the doorway to something deeper: a life where you’re no longer constantly recovering from burnout, overthinking your next move or disconnected from your own inner knowing. It’s where your decisions come from clarity, not chaos. From inner steadiness, not social comparison.
Living a life that’s truly aligned with your soul (your actual blueprint, your human design) means coming back into rhythm with you. Not by becoming someone new, but by peeling away everything that’s not true. The Great Unlearning. Your Great unlearning. It’s a relationship. A practice.
Right now, many of us are waking up to just how far we’ve strayed from that inner rhythm. The world is loud with noise and pressure; what to be, how to live, who to become. But alignment asks something simpler, more courageous: that you return to yourself. To your timing. To your truth.
We’re in a collective moment where the old rhythms are cracking. Linear timelines, endless pushing, disconnection from self: it’s all being questioned. And in the space that opens up, there’s a chance to come back into equilibrium and balance. This isn’t about rebellion for the sake of it. It’s about remembering. That you are nature, not separate from it.

11. Being in sync with your true self is one of the most profound ways alignment manifests.

This was the final really juicy special point I channeled through specifically for anyone listening to this podcast on alignment! Think of being in sync as getting on the same frequency as your own soul. Being in sync is like hitting every green light on the way home. You’re not rushing, not pushing — just moving at the right pace, in the right direction, and somehow everything clears to meet you. That’s alignment. It’s not luck. It’s resonance.
Life becomes less of a chase and more like being pulled by a magnet. You don’t need to strain to get where you’re meant to go: there’s a natural pull that guides you, effortlessly leading you forward, right to where you need to be.
When you’re in sync with yourself, it’s like a garden where every plant is nurtured according to its needs. Each one grows at its own pace, but together they form a thriving ecosystem. When you’re aligned, your actions, relationships, and health naturally flourish in harmony, without forcing anything. You don’t need to chase the sun, it comes to you in the right season. Opportunities, people, and experiences bloom effortlessly, and everything feels like it’s unfolding just as it’s meant to.
It’s about learning to trust the signals your body, mind and spirit send you. The universe, or whatever higher energy you believe in, communicates with you through signs, symbols, and synchronicities. These can come in the form of angel numbers, repeating patterns, or unexpected coincidences. When you’re aligned, these signs feel less like coincidences and more like gentle nudges from the universe affirming that you’re on the right path.
When you notice these signs, it’s the universe’s way of asking you to pause and reflect: Are you truly in sync with your desires? Are you honouring the flow? Being aligned means being open to receiving these messages and trusting that they come from a place of wisdom. They push you to trust that you’re not stumbling blindly but moving in a direction that’s divinely guided.

A summary of alignment

As we wrap up this episode, remember that alignment isn’t about perfection—it’s about tuning in to your own rhythm, trusting your inner flow, and responding to the subtle nudges the universe sends your way.
If you’re ready to explore deeper alignment and step into your full potential, I’m here to support you through 1:1 coaching, human design readings plus, there’s only one room left for the August Bali retreat, a transformative experience to immerse yourself come back into alignment, think of it as a mid year tune up bringing together and weaving manifestation, money mindset, main character energy and personal growth.

Feeling blegh in your mid 30's...?

There’s been a sudden wave of clients coming to me over the past two weeks — all with the same quiet question under their stories: “What is going on with my life right now?” And when I look under the surface, the answer is often the same — they’re in the thick of their nodal return.
It’s a cosmic checkpoint, one that doesn’t come gently — and it’s not supposed to. Because your nodal return isn’t about comfort. It’s about course correction. It’s about remembering what your soul actually signed up for before it came back to Earth. In this episode, we’re diving into what a nodal return really is, why it can feel so disorienting, and how to navigate it with grace, truth and a whole lot of courage.
What is a nodal return (human design, astrology)?

We have to start with what are the nodes in astrology, energy, spirituality and human design. They’re not planets themselves, but rather energetic points where the moon’s path intersects with the sun’s path. These points are closely tied to eclipses and are considered deeply connected to your soul’s journey. As I’m recording this, we’re in a fresh nodal cycle with the North Node now in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo (2025-2027). For the past two years, we’ve been living through the Aries-Libra axis (2023-2025).

When does your nodal return happen?

Your nodal return happens approximately every 18 years when your nodes return to the position (degree, sign and energy) when you were born. This means you have a nodal return when you are around the ages of 18, 36, 54 and 72.

Why is your nodal return important?

The importance of your nodal return is that it’s linked to destiny. What exactly do we mean when we talk about “destiny”? From a spiritual lens, it’s believed that your soul chose to come to Earth with a mission — a roadmap, if you will (your human design). This is the essence of destiny: your soul’s chosen path of evolution and expression.

Nodal return and eclipses = destiny

Eclipses, which are powered by the nodes, have always held an air of fate. Astrologers view them as moments to completely release control — a time to hand things over to a greater force; to source, the universe, God, Divine. Eclipses can feel like they bend time, speeding things up, intensifying emotions and often marking significant beginnings or closures in our lives.

Nodal return passed from 18 to 36/36/38 mid thirties

Your nodal return marks an important passage in your 30’s. You go through your Saturn Return aged 27-31, then you have your Nodal Return at 36/37/38 before your Uranus Opposition in your 40’s. If you are approaching your mid 30’s think back to just before you started your 20’s! When this happens at 18, society declares you an adult — legally independent, able to vote, drink, marry, go to war but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, many people are only just beginning to grasp who they were. In the western world you’ve just likely completed your first early years of education and now you’re in the “real world.” It’s not just another transit — it’s a spiritual and existential threshold, one that can upend your sense of direction and identity.

Nodal return themes in your 30's

Now, during your Nodal Return, you revisit these same themes — but with 20 more years of life experience, mistakes, healing and wisdom. It’s a moment to ask:
Are you truly living in alignment with your purpose?
Have you matured into your soul’s true direction?
Are you still unconsciously acting from old karmic patterns (South Node)?
Or are you courageously leaning into the unfamiliar but deeply rewarding growth edge (North Node)?
In a way, this return asks:
“You were handed adult freedom at 18 — what have you done with it?”

“Are you on a path that fulfils the destiny of your soul? Why you came to Earth?”

A nodal return is a soul growth acceleration

When you’re in your nodal return years, it can feel like you’re strapped into a fast moving ride. The mantra becomes “be mindful what you call in,” because manifestations and lessons can unfold rapidly. A channeled example coming through is you want to meet your person, the one you’ll spend the rest of your life with? In order for that to happen the universe has to make sure the path is clear and so is your alignment. Think tests, ex partners coming back, being dangled a less than sure commitment, commitment issues arising suddenly… These are years of quickened growth and clarity, where deeper truths come to the surface with urgency.

Divine timing and your nodal return

One of the hardest spiritual lessons is surrendering the timeline. We think we can plan everything, but life (especially under these nodal influences) often reminds us that timing is a mystery not ours to control.

What will you discover and get out of a nodal reading with me?

In readings, the nodes point to what your soul is here to remember, to release, to master. They reveal your unique gifts and the deeper why behind your presence on Earth — your soul’s purpose in motion.
Often when I work with 1:1 clients or human design readings on nodal returns it will be centered around feeling fulfilment in their life and the path of purpose and career, though it is not limited to this! Your Nodal Return is such a rich and multi dimensional initiation. While the external events and circumstances always vary — career shifts, relationship transformations, becoming a parent: the core invitation is always the same: alignment with the soul’s authentic path.
By this point in life, you’ve already lived through major initiations helping you clear out old conditioning and bring you into a deeper sense of personal truth. Then as you begin to move forward with new clarity, the second nodal return hits — and it often hits hard.

Comfort and discomfort of your nodal return

This is the moment when the universe challenges you to align more fully with your true path, represented by the nodes in your astrological and human design chart. The trouble is, you may feel lost, stripped of old certainties but not yet grounded in the new. The inner voice that used to whisper encouragement now feels distant or contradictory. You sense that your old ways of being no longer work — but the new way forward feels unclear, and full of risk. A nodal return reading with me will give you clarity, direction and guidance on many layers: astrology, human design and intuitive guidance.
Fulfillment, Purpose & Career your nodal return human design and astrology

For many, the Nodal Return shines a spotlight on career and purpose — not necessarily in terms of ambition, but in terms of meaning.
Is what you’re doing making you feel alive?
Are you creating impact in the way your heart and soul longs to?
Is your day-to-day life congruent with your inner truth?
Often, clients begin to question work they once thought they wanted. High-achievers may realize they’ve climbed the wrong ladder. Others feel an urge to finally pursue what’s been whispering in the background for years. It’s less about productivity and more about devotion — to the work that truly lights them up.
Something that I love that astrologer Tom Jacobs shares about the nodes and transits is finding the balance between these two sentiments:

Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean that’s all there is or that you should always do it. Just because you haven’t tried something before doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t.

Relationships, Marriage & Children your nodal return human design and astrology

The Nodal Return often stirs thoughts on:
Who do you want beside you as you walk into this next chapter of your life?
Are you still in a relationship out of comfort or obligation?
Is your heart ready for the depth of love, commitment or family?
Some people divorce, not because they’ve failed, but because they’ve outgrown old soul contracts. Others meet or marry someone who reflects their evolved values. For some, the journey into motherhood or fatherhood becomes the new soul calling — often not planned logically, but felt deeply.
It’s not always dramatic; sometimes, it’s a gentle reorientation. But whether loud or quiet, the shift is defining. Relationships at this point are no longer about fixing old wounds — they’re about expanding into aligned love.

Spirituality and soul fulfilment your nodal return human design and astrology

The Nodal Return can feel like life is gently — or forcefully — asking:
“Are you ready to live the life you were meant for?”
The illusion of youth has worn off. You’ve tested things out. Failed. Loved. Lost. Achieved. But now it’s about truth. It’s a crossing point between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
It’s not always comfortable — but it’s a time of immense reclamation. I get chills, it’s such a pivotal passage in one’s life universally.
Your nodal return isn’t meant to be comfortable—because comfort lives in the past, in what you already know. The North Node points toward the unknown terrain your soul came here to explore. It’s not meant to feel natural at first; in fact, it often feels foreign, risky, or even wrong. But if it felt easy, what would be the point of returning to Earth at all? Growth demands friction. Your soul chose this life to stretch beyond its familiar edges, to step into something greater, more true, and more aligned—even if it shakes everything safe loose in the process.

What's it like going through your nodal return?

An analogy to understand your nodal return is that it’s not supposed to feel like home—it’s more like being dropped somewhere random with nothing but a gut feeling as your guide. Imagine your internal GPS glitching, refusing to reroute you back to comfort. That’s because it’s not leading you to safety—it’s leading you to purpose. It’s not meant to feel easy or comfortable. Growth doesn’t come from repetition. It comes when you’re asked to walk a path that stretches your spirit into something it’s never been before.

Feeling the shake-up of your nodal return? That’s your soul calling you forward—into the life you actually came here to live. If you’re ready to decode the deeper meaning behind this cosmic shift, I offer personalised nodal return readings that weave astrology, Human Design, and intuitive guidance.

Your nodal return is not a punishment — it’s a portal. A window of time where your life starts to reorient around your deeper why. It might not feel natural at first, because soul-aligned paths rarely follow familiar scripts. But what’s waiting for you on the other side is something far more fulfilling than comfort — it’s authenticity, alignment, and meaning.

Taurus New Supermoon to end April 2025

2025 has felt like a big year — for the world, and maybe for you too. There’s been a sense of things shifting, old ways breaking down and new beginnings that don’t quite have shape yet. You’re not imagining it. There’s something in the air —an underlying push of change and to grow. At the end of this week we have the supermoon in the sign of Taurus, rising on the 27th and 28th.
Today, we’re diving into the spiritual meaning of Easter—beyond the chocolate eggs, bunnies and pastel colours and into the deep waters of rebirth and resurrection.
What is a Supermoon?

It’s a supermoon because it’s closer to Earth, bigger and brighter in the sky, and energetically it offers a pause — a moment to return to what’s simple, steady, and real. Think: grounding, presence, beauty, body. Even in the chaos, this moon is a fresh start. A chance to come home to yourself.
A final call out before I dive into this episode the Flow Vietnam Retreat is happening on the 25th of May to the 31st, final spots available. If you’re interested, curious or feeling the pull – I invite you to message me and let’s chat about the retreat!

Pope Francis Taurus Supermoon April 2025

Just as this moon rises, the world feels the tremble of change in more ways than one. The recent passing of Pope Francis marks more than the end of a life — it symbolises a shift in global authority, tradition, and spiritual leadership. Whether you follow the Church or not, his death touches something collective: a changing of the guard. We’re seeing it everywhere — in governments, institutions, culture. What used to hold power is dissolving. What once felt untouchable is being questioned. We’re entering a new era, and while we may not fully understand what’s coming, we can feel that something is being restructured — from the top down and the inside out.

Collective energy Taurus Supermoon April 2025

This Taurus Supermoon, then, offers more than personal grounding. It’s a collective breath. A reminder that real power doesn’t come from control, status, or fear — but from values, integrity, and connection to what’s true. As the world reorients, you’re invited to do the same. To ask: Where have I given my power away? What do I want to build that lasts? What do I trust when everything else is uncertain?
So in this episode, we’re diving into the themes of this Taurus New Supermoon, how it ties into the bigger collective shifts we’re moving through — and I’ll walk you through a practical mindset map to help you realign with what matters most.

Taurus New Moon Energy

A new moon marks the start of a new lunar cycle. It’s a time to plant seeds — not just literally, but energetically. Intentions, choices, new habits, fresh perspectives.
This supermoon new moon is in Taurus — an earth sign all about grounding, value, beauty, and building something real. Think: the senses. Money. Food. Your home. Your body. What enough actually feels like. In a world that’s moving fast with authority structures shifting, traditions falling away, and uncertainty in the air — this moon is a chance to root deeper. To choose steadiness over speed. Integrity over image. Nourishment over noise.
This Taurus New Moon marks a return to solid ground after the cosmic intensity of recent weeks. It’s the first new moon in a while that isn’t part of the eclipse storyline.Where the eclipses may have stirred, shaken, and shifted, this New Moon invites you to anchor, to choose, to begin again—consciously.

Taurus New Supermoon, Mars in Leo, Neptune in Aquarius April 2025

Do note though there’s still underlying tension underneath this super new moon in Taurus not because of eclipses because of the placements of Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius creating a powerful internal and external dynamic.
Mars in Leo brings fiery ego, passion, and a need to be seen, while Taurus desires peace, steady pace and embodied presence. Meanwhile, Pluto in Aquarius stirs the pot with themes of deep collective change, rebellion and power shifts. The result is a cosmic tug-of-war between stability and self-expression, comfort and growth, who you’ve been and who the future is calling you to become. It might feel like your soul is gently whispering, “slow down,” while your shadow demands, “act now!”
But this isn’t a time for rash moves, it’s an invitation to ground deeply and channel your fire with intention. Listen to your body before reacting, and pause before you exert power. This moment isn’t about escaping discomfort; it’s about alchemising it into transformation.
Ready for some channelled intuitive mindset perspectives for this new moon?

1. Slow is Sacred. Slow down to receive.

We live in a world that glorifies speed — fast results, instant clarity, quick wins. Taurus is the opposite. It reminds us that slow doesn’t mean stuck. Slow means intentional. It’s like baking bread. The dough needs time to rise, to stretch and expand before it can become something fully formed. There’s no rushing the process. This week, allow yourself the space to rise at your own pace. Trust that things will come together when they’re meant to. You’re not falling behind—you’re just in the process.

2. Your body knows the way: embodied abundance

Taurus is deeply connected to the body. This isn’t just about self-care routines — it’s about deep listening. Your body holds wisdom your mind can’t always access.

So pause and check in.

What does your body want right now?
What does it say no to — even if your mind is saying yes out of habit or fear?
Rest when you need to. Eat slowly. Walk barefoot. Stretch. Touch something soft. Your body is not just a vessel — it’s a guide. Especially when the world feels unsteady, your body is your home. Taurus teaches that abundance isn’t just money—it’s a state of being. This supermoon is an invitation to feel rich in your body, your senses, your life.
To me abundance in the body feels expansive, warm, and full. It’s a deep, effortless sense of being enough—of having everything you need, right here, right now. You feel a lightness in your chest, a gentle pulse of energy that radiates outward, your heart overflowing.
There’s a sense of being deeply rooted, grounded in the present moment, while also feeling open with space to receive more, without worry or resistance.There’s an openness in your shoulders, or a calm sense of peace, knowing that you’re supported in every way. It’s a quiet confidence, a soft hum of satisfaction that comes from within, not tied to external circumstances, but rooted in the understanding that abundance is always available to you.

3. Build from value not lack

This new moon energy is about what you’re creating — and more importantly, why you’re creating it. Are you building from a place of anxiety and fear, just trying to prove or survive? Or are you creating something rooted in what you truly value — things like quality, integrity, peace, presence?

Taurus reminds us that long-term abundance comes from a deep place of alignment. It’s not about quick hits or validation. It’s about building something you believe in, even if it takes time to grow. Especially if it takes time to grow.

4. Pleasure is productive and a portal

We’ve been taught that pleasure is indulgent — something you earn after working hard. But Taurus energy turns that upside down. It says: Pleasure is a form of power. Joy is a source of fuel.
When you’re connected to what feels good, you’re magnetic. You’re more alive. You make better decisions. So light the candle. Make your space beautiful. Sip your coffee slowly. Laugh with a friend. Let your senses be part of your spiritual practice. Beauty isn’t frivolous — it’s fortifying.
When you allow yourself to fully experience pleasure, you unlock a kind of energy that flows through your body and into every area of your life. It’s the soft invitation to surrender, to be present in the moment, and to receive without resistance. Pleasure doesn’t need to be earned; it’s already part of your inherent nature, waiting to be accessed. When you step into it, you step into a new way of being—more alive, more connected, and more in tune with the abundance that surrounds you.

5. You can hold power gently

There’s a global shift happening right now — in leadership, in authority, in how power is held and this Taurus supermoon in April offers a different model. It’s not about domination or performance. It’s about steadiness. Quiet confidence. Clear boundaries. A calm nervous system. You don’t have to lead loudly to be powerful. You don’t have to be perfect to be trusted. This moon asks: Can you lead yourself first? Can you trust your own roots? Can you be a safe place for yourself, and by extension, for others? That’s real power — and it’s available to you now.
Pope Francis certainly brought a quieter, yet revolutionary style of leadership as pope. His approach to leadership is often seen as more humble and compassionate than his predecessors. He has used his position to challenge traditional Catholic teachings on various issues, such as poverty, climate change and the treatment of marginalised communities, including refugees and LGBTQ+ people.

His emphasis on mercy, dialogue, and simplicity has reshaped the image of the Catholic Church, focusing less on doctrine and more on compassion and inclusivity.

Taurus New Supermoon journla prompts April 2025

Now without a do, journal prompts for the Taurus Supermoon this April
Where in your life are you craving stillness and where are you craving bold movement?
Explore the areas where your soul longs for slow, rooted presence—and where your inner fire is roaring to be expressed.
What would it mean to trust your timing more deeply than your fear?
Taurus teaches trust, while Mars and Pluto stir urgency. Get curious about what it would look like to trust the soil, not just the spotlight.
When have you mistaken control for power?
This square to Pluto invites a reflection on your relationship to power—especially the difference between force and influence, control and inner authority.
What does true self worth feel like in your body—not just your mind?
Don’t think about the answer. Close your eyes. Breathe. Let yourself notice the sensations that arise when you no longer have to prove anything. Where does confidence live in you? Where does ease settle?
When was the last time you truly felt pleasure in your body?
What were you doing? How did it feel to be fully present, to be in your senses?
What is your relationship to money right now and how can you invite more abundance into your life?
Reflect on your financial mindset. How can you shift into a more abundant, trusting energy with money?
How does your body respond to routine and ritual, and what practices could deepen that connection?
Taurus thrives in consistency—what daily rituals could anchor you more deeply in your body?

Ground with the Taurus New Supermoon in April 2025

As we close this episode on the Taurus Super New Moon, take a moment to reflect on the powerful energies we’ve discussed. The tension between stability and bold change is palpable, and it’s a reminder to slow down, to ground yourself in the present, and to trust the timing of your own unfolding.
Use this moon to embrace your desires and nurture your body. Trust that even in discomfort, transformation is at play. Allow yourself to pause, recalibrate and step forward in alignment with your values and heart. Let the grounding energy of Taurus remind you that you are always supported—your roots are deep, and your potential is limitless.
Until next time beautiful soul, love and positivity

The Spiritual Meaning of Easter

Hello! It’s been a whirlwind few weeks having been in LA, San Fran, San Jose, New York and Sedona. I’m now back in Australia. Such an interesting couple of weeks as I had a few posts go viral whilst being away and so saying hi and welcoming new listeners to the podcast and a warm welcome back for those here again!
Today, we’re diving into the spiritual meaning of Easter—beyond the chocolate eggs, bunnies and pastel colours and into the deep waters of rebirth and resurrection.
Who is Yeshua (Jesus)

Let’s begin not with “Jesus” as we often hear him—but with Yeshua, as a Jewish man, mystic and teacher. Yeshua is the original Hebrew name for the man commonly known in the Western world as Jesus. He walked this earth not as a figurehead of a religion but as a deeply embodied soul, attuned to the divine.
He spoke of the Kingdom of Heaven not as a place far away, but as something within. To say “Yeshua” is to remember his humanity and his roots. It’s to see him as a spiritual teacher, perhaps even an ascended master who came to awaken love, compassion and truth in a time of oppression and fear.
So in this episode, when I say Yeshua, I’m not speaking of a distant religious icon this is whom I’m referring to.
There’s a part of this episode that feels deeply personal for me. If you’ve read my book The Great Unlearning you’ll know because I didn’t always feel safe with the word Jesus. I grew up in a Catholic environment—where God well not God but religion often felt distant, judgmental, or angry. Where faith was more about fear than freedom.
Where you had to confess your sins to be clean. Where divinity lived up there, not in here. For a long time, I associated Jesus with that fear. That shame. That sense of not being good enough. Not being pure enough. But something shifted when I began to explore Yeshua. Not the Jesus of institutions, but the Yeshua of love.
It was really initiated 2 years ago when I was in Bali, I had my first personal encounter of Yeshua energy on the night of a full moon. He appeared as a loving protector.

Easter as a Spiritual Metaphor for Resurrection

Easter marks the story of Yeshua rising from the dead but the deeper, spiritual meaning of resurrection isn’t just about one man coming back to life.
The spiritual metaphor of resurrection wasn’t just a moment in time but as a metaphor for your life.
How many times have you died and come back to life?
Think of the heartbreaks, the job losses, the versions of yourself that cracked open, shattered— and somehow, still, you rose.
Spiritually, resurrection means coming back to life—after something has ended, broken down or fallen away.

Spiritual Rebirth

When we speak of rebirth, we’re really speaking of a return to truth. A shedding of old identities, old stories and illusions that no longer serve us. Yeshua’s resurrection wasn’t only about life after death; it was also a radical statement about what it means to transcend fear, ego, and the worldly structures and conditioning that bind us. Spiritually, resurrection calls each of us into a deeper remembrance — that we are not just bodies or roles, but eternal souls capable of rising again and again. A divine soul having a human experience. This isn’t our first rodeo, one of many lives we’ve had in the journey of our soul.
When life breaks us open — through heartbreak, grief, change, or loss; there is always an invitation to be made new. Not in a way that erases the past, but in a way that honours it while allowing something greater to emerge. This is the essence of the Yeshua story: surrendering to the darkest hour, facing the cross and still choosing love. Still choosing light. Still choosing life. Spiritual resurrection is rarely clean or glamorous — it often happens in the quiet, hidden places. It asks for deep trust, for ego death, and for the courage to say, “I am willing to rise again — different, wiser and more whole.”
Every breakdown has the seed of a rebirth. In this way, resurrection isn’t about avoiding pain —it’s about letting pain transform you.

Spiritual tomb and Easter

Every Easter season (whether you follow Christianity or not) invites us to step into that symbolic tomb. To look at what needs to be released. What must die within you… so something greater can rise?
In a world that celebrates constant striving and forward motion, spiritual rebirth reminds us that sometimes the most sacred transformation happens in the pause — the in between — the tomb.
Yeshua rested in that space for three days. What if we allowed ourselves that too? Time to be still. Time to grieve what we’ve outgrown. Time to prepare for the rising. There is a holy patience in resurrection — a divine unfolding that can’t be rushed. It teaches us that spiritual power is not found in dominance or perfection, but in surrender, in humility and in the profound capacity to begin again.

Post Aries Libra Eclipse and Libra Full Moon 2025

So if you’re in a season of loss, uncertainty, or inner death — especially after the ending of the Aries Libra eclipse series, the recent Libra Full Moon… this is not the end. This could be your resurrection moment. The Yeshua story isn’t about escape — it’s about embodiment. It’s about coming back into your life with renewed vision, fierce love and sacred clarity. Resurrection isn’t a one-time miracle — it’s a rhythm of the soul.

Easter is a Spiritual Portal
Just as Yeshua faced his own death and rebirth, we too are being asked to rise from the ashes of old patterns and ways of relating that no longer align with who we’ve become off the back of the Aries Libra eclipse series and the Libra full moon in particular the context of relationships. We’ve outgrown certain dynamics, and that moon was the final invitation to let them go — gracefully and with deep love for what they once taught us.
Easter, at its heart, is a spiritual portal. A moment in the year that symbolises this deep rebirth.An invitation to shed old skin particularly in this year of the Snake. To trust the process of the in-between. To come back to life—clearer, lighter more aligned.
Whether or not you follow a religion, Easter can be a sacred time to ask:
What are ready to let go of?
What truth are you being asked to rise into?
What would it feel like to come back to life?
On the deepest level, resurrection is about remembering who you really are.
Age 33 Astrology: Christ Year

If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know this episode was inspired today by having multiple clients connected to their Christ year. Yeshua was said to be 33 years old at the time of his crucifixion and resurrection.
Whether you believe that literally or symbolically, the Christ Year—your 33rd year of life—is often seen as a spiritual initiation. A time when the soul is called to deeper service, deeper truth and deeper surrender.
If you’re around that age—or reflecting on it—ask yourself:
– What parts of you are being asked to die?
– Where are you being called to rise?
– How are you being prepared to lead, to love, to live from the soul?
Because the Christ energy isn’t reserved for saints and prophets—it lives in all of us. In our pain, in our power, in our willingness to walk through the fire and come out gold.

Being 33 in your Christ Year and Purpose

The Christ Year asks: are you ready to walk with purpose, no matter the cost? At 33, you may experience initiations—career changes, endings, awakenings, or even a quiet unraveling or unlearning of who you thought you had to be. These are not punishments; they are invitations to come home to your truth.
This is not about perfection—it’s about devotion. Not in devotion to a religion or a figurehead, but to you. To your soul. To the divine spark within you that’s always known who you are and what you came here to do. It’s a year of radical self-honouring, of choosing to walk with unwavering devotion to your truth.
Not perfection. Not pressure. But presence.
This is about letting your life become the altar — where your choices, your boundaries, your joy, your rest, your becoming… all become sacred. What if this year wasn’t about proving anything to the world, but about returning home to your own divinity?
That’s what we’re leaning into.
The Christ Year is a sacred turning point. You’re not expected to have it all figured out, but you are being asked to listen more closely to your inner knowing. To stop chasing approval and start answering the call that’s been quietly whispering inside you for years. It may not look glamorous or make sense to others but when you say yes to that deeper call—when you allow yourself to be used in service of something bigger—resurrection becomes real. Not as a myth, but as the moment you finally choose to live as your whole, holy self.

Rebirth Transformation Life Coaching

If this conversation stirred something in you—if you’re feeling the pull toward your own resurrection, your own rising—know this:You don’t have to do it alone.
This is the deep work I do with my 1:1 clients. Together, we walk through the fire of transformation.
We shed the old layers, the identities that no longer fit. We get honest, courageous, and wildly devoted to who you’re here to be. Because rebirth isn’t just a spiritual idea—it’s a lived experience.
Yes… I am a Scorpio after all. Transformation is kind of my love language.
So if your soul is whispering “it’s time”, I invite you to reach out. Let’s make this your year. Your comeback. Your becoming. The link to work with me 1:1 is in the show notes or checkout my instagram @thephidang and website phidang.com

In this episode, we reframe the way you think about nutrition, shifting from rules and rigidity to seeing food as fuel, support and self-care. To move beyond fear-based eating and into a mindset of empowerment, where every meal is an opportunity to nourish your body and mind.
We also explore the connection between what’s on your plate and your nervous system. How does food impact your ability to regulate stress, feel calm, and support your mental well-being? From blood sugar balance to the vagus nerve’s role in digestion and relaxation, we unpack how what you eat directly influences your body’s ability to shift between fight-or-flight and deep rest: really as they say to be in rest and digest.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of eating “perfectly,” this conversation is for you. True health isn’t about rigid rules—it’s about sustainability, self-compassion, and making choices that feel good long-term. We approach wellness with love rather than pressure, this episode with Meg offers a fresh, uplifting take on nutrition. Tune in and discover how intentional shifts can transform the way you feel.

Neptune enters Aries in 2025 (never seen before in this lifetime!)

Hello my love, coming to you live as I am currently in America during this eclipse with Neptune in Aries feels almost like stepping into a dream. LA’s energy is electric, full of freedom and possibility, and it’s been such a blast. But what really gets me is watching my inner child experience it all—seeing life the little things whole new layer of magic to everything. There’s this sense of adventure in the air, and I’m soaking it all in, embracing the chaos and beauty of it all.
This conversation has been inspired by the receptivity into what’s going on collectively at the moment.
Neptune, as an influence — is all about dreams, intuition, and the unseen. It’s the planet that rules our spiritual connection and the places where we lose ourselves in creativity and imagination. Aries, on the other hand, is bold, fiery, and pioneering—it’s all about action, courage, and new beginnings. So when Neptune moves through Aries, it creates a unique meeting between dreamy idealism with a spark of impulsive energy.
Neptune in Aries will occur from 2025 to 2039 after which Neptune will enter Taurus from 2038. Do note it will have a retrograde period around July later this year.
In this episode, we’ll explore what happens when these two forces collide, and how this transit can influence not just your dreams but your approach to taking action on them. It can be jarring after all the contrast of the signs.

What is the effect of Neptune? What is Neptune's energy like?

When we tune into Neptune’s energy in the highest expression, we tap into a deeper part of ourselves—our intuitive wisdom, our psychic abilities and our spiritual essence. Neptune guides us to transcend the material world, offering us a direct link to the vast collective consciousness. As Neptune enhances your sensitivity to the unseen forces, it deepens your understanding of the world beyond the physical realm, opening the door to clearer insights and intuitive understanding.
As you walk this spiritual path with Neptune, you may find that your intuition sharpens, but so too can your susceptibility to fantasy or idealism. Neptune teaches you to navigate the space between illusion and clarity, showing you the bigger picture over time.
Neptune is most commonly associated with illusion, delusion, and confusion in astrology and energy systems like Human Design. It is linked to the concept of dissolving boundaries and can blur the line between reality and fantasy. When Neptune’s energy is at play, people may experience heightened sensitivity, creativity, and spiritual connection, but they might also struggle with seeing things clearly or becoming disoriented. Make decisions grounded in reality, use your discernment.

Neptune is like walking through a fog

Neptune, as an analogy, can be compared to walking through a fog.
Imagine you’re walking through a dense fog. The world around you looks blurry and distant. You might have a vague sense of direction, but you can’t clearly see where you’re going. The fog distorts your perception, making objects appear closer than they actually are, or perhaps further away than they seem. Sometimes, you might even feel like you’re heading in the right direction, but the path is unclear and uncertain.
This is much like Neptune’s influence in life: it blurs the lines between reality and illusion. It can create a sense of confusion, where we might be convinced of something that isn’t truly there, or we may have an idealised vision of reality that doesn’t align with what’s real. You might think you’re on the right path, but the fog distorts your sense of clarity.
Just as in the fog, you need to wait for the mist to clear, ground yourself, and trust your instincts to move forward. Neptune teaches us that while illusions may feel real in the moment, with time and patience, clarity will return. The key is not to get too lost in the fog, but to understand that it’s temporary—and once it lifts, your true path will emerge clearly.

Neptune = blurry boundaries

Neptune also has a bit of a blurry effect when it comes to boundaries. Its energy can dissolve the lines that separate us from others. While this can be beautiful in the sense of creating deep connections or tapping into a collective consciousness, it can also make it difficult to know where you end and someone else begins. This lack of clear boundaries can lead to feeling overwhelmed by other people’s emotions, taking on their energy, or letting your own needs be overlooked.
When Neptune’s influence is strong and you’re not consciously aware of its power, you may find yourself being too accommodating or, on the flip side, feeling overly responsible for others. It’s like your sense of personal space and limits can become foggy, making it hard to say ‘no,’ prioritise your own well-being, or keep a healthy distance from people who drain you. This is why Neptune is often associated with the need for self-awareness and grounding practices, so you don’t get lost in the waves of emotion or escape into idealised versions of reality.

Neptune in Aries shift from collective to I consciousness

I mentioned previously in another podcast episode that the last time Neptune was in Aries there was the civil rights movement in America.
This shift aligns with what astrology and human design seeing coming as a big thing – 2027 a notable shift in collective consciousness. Neptune moves from Pisces to Aries where given astrologic patterns we are going from we to collective but distinct individual “I” energy, what makes you different. Sovereignty. Reclaiming autonomy.
Aries, ruled by Mars, is about assertion, individuality, and action. Aries does not blur boundaries; it defines them. It is the first sign of the zodiac, representing the beginning—the self, the individual, and the freedom and liberty that comes with it.
Sovereignty under Neptune in Aries is about taking back ownership of your life. It’s no longer about being swept along by collective ideals or following the expectations of others. This energy supports asserting your independence—in how you think, act, and make decisions. It’s an invitation to stop outsourcing your authority to others and to reclaim it within yourself.
There’s a sense of urgency in this energy—an impulse to take action now, to stop overthinking, and to move with the flow of inspiration. The Aries fire demands movement, and Neptune’s dreams translate into tangible actions when aligned with your true purpose. It’s not about waiting for the “perfect” moment or for everything to make sense; it’s about trusting that the pieces will fall into place once you begin to act on your own vision.

Neptune in Aries is like waking up from a dream

Since 2011 we have collectively been in Neptune in Pisces as the deep, dream-like state of meditation. In this space, you’re connected to everything and nothing, floating in a serene, boundless sea of awareness. There’s no clear boundary between you and the world around you. Your thoughts and feelings melt into one, and you feel infinite—almost like you’re suspended in a peaceful trance of spiritual oneness, exploring the mysteries of existence without a need for action or clarity.
The shift from Neptune in Aries is like waking up from that deep meditation and suddenly feeling the rush of energy to move. You’re no longer floating in a timeless, dreamy space; you’re back in the present moment, and there’s an immediate urge to act on the insights you received. There’s no time for lingering; Aries energy is all about instinctive action, bold steps, and pioneering movement. You feel a burst of vitality, a need to assert yourself, and to take what you learned from the dream-like state of Pisces and apply it with courage and determination in the real world.
In essence, Neptune in Pisces is like floating in a vast, limitless ocean, full of mystery and connection, while Neptune in Aries is making moves, going deeper, taking action.

Indulge in your Impulse - caveat: But with Intention

My tips for navigating this transit?
Aries doesn’t hesitate, and Neptune encourages you to act on your whims—but with a deep understanding that those impulses are a sign of something bigger trying to emerge. It’s about moving fast but not mindlessly. Allow space for spontaneity, but be intentional with where it’s leading you.
Think about the last spontaneous decision you made. Was it exciting? Scary? Write about how you felt in the moment. Is there something now that you feel an urge to do, but you’re holding back? Explore what might happen if you just go for it. Explore the steps to it, a step towards it or what does a leap look like?

Ground before acting

It’s important to stay grounded to ensure your actions align with your true desires. This can be a tricky balance, but grounding practices can help you tap into your inner knowing before making big decisions. Before taking any bold action or making a quick decision, spend five minutes doing a grounding practice. It could be deep breathing, placing your hands on your heart, or walking barefoot outside. After grounding, ask yourself: “Does this action feel aligned with my truth?” If yes, proceed. If not, take a moment to recalibrate your decision.

The impulse journal

As you can see this Neptune in Aries transit, the line between impulse and intuition can blur. A great way to harness this energy is by observing your impulses and reflecting on them. The key here is not to act on everything immediately, but to track and observe your emotional landscape.
Exercise:
Start an “Impulse Journal.” Each day, write down your spontaneous thoughts or impulses (big or small). Then, at the end of the week, go back and read through them. Are there any patterns? Which of these impulses felt like pure intuition, and which ones were more fear-driven? Reflect on how you can use this awareness to help guide future actions.
As we navigate Neptune in Aries, remember that this transit is a powerful invitation to claim your sovereignty and step fully into your personal power. It’s about trusting your inner wisdom, acting with grounded confidence, and discerning what aligns with your true self. Let this energy empower you to make bold moves, but always with clarity and purpose. Trust that you have everything you need to create the life you desire.”

Emotionally navigating the eclipse season March 2025

Hello my love, so let me just say it the last few weeks have been something alright. As you’re listening to this it’s pre recorded because I am currently in the city of angels Los Angeles. If you’ve been feeling off, sensitive or in the ringer so to speak it thankfully it ain’t just you honey, I feel your pain.
I’ve always been someone who emotionally processes my feelings, especially with my emotional authority in Human Design and my water placements, which guide me to feel deeply and reflect before responding. I’m used to working through my emotions internally, allowing myself time to feel and then release.
But this eclipse, the Virgo one last Friday, caught me completely off guard. Instead of my usual emotional release, I found myself physically processing in a way I’d never experienced before. I woke up to rashes erupting all over my body, a full-blown physical manifestation of processing, discomfort, and overwhelm.

Physical vs emotional processing eclipse season

It felt like my body was communicating in a way I wasn’t expecting, forcing me to slow down and pay attention to what I’d been pushing aside. The reality of the time line approaching? The raises starting a week before a long haul flight LA the timing couldn’t have been more intense. I’ve always trusted that the universe has a way of showing us what we need to see, but this felt like a big, physical reminder to listen to my body in a new way. It was almost as though my body was saying, “Hey, it’s time to process everything—not just emotionally, but physically too.”
This unexpected physical eruption further cemented how deeply our bodies are intertwined with our emotions and how sometimes we can’t bypass what needs to be released. I’m understanding myself more that while I’ve often relied on my emotional authority to guide me, there’s also wisdom in tuning into the physical cues my body gives me.
I feel like this year I have experienced myself and held space for clients with more skin issues than usual. The skin, IS the body’s largest organ, holds deep spiritual significance, acting as a physical boundary between the inner and outer worlds.

Spiritual meaning of skin

The skin isn’t separated, it’s one, hence my rashes started flaring on my face and are also on my legs the next day you know?
It is not just a protective layer; it is a reflective surface that reveals our emotional and spiritual health. When the skin undergoes a detox process, whether through physical symptoms like rashes or through practices like sweating or exfoliating, it is often a sign that old, stagnant energy is being released. Spiritually, detoxing through the skin signifies shedding emotional baggage, past traumas, or accumulated stress that no longer serves the body or spirit. It’s a way of allowing new, fresh energy to enter, just as the body sheds old skin cells to make room for new growth.
Spiritually, the skin can also symbolise how one interacts with the world—how deeply someone absorbs or blocks external influences. When the skin reacts to toxins, it’s often a reminder to pay attention to what is being taken in, whether emotionally, mentally, or physically. If there is a build-up of toxic relationships, negative thoughts, or environments that aren’t aligned with one’s true essence, the skin can serve as a warning or a means of release. Detoxing, then, isn’t just about cleansing the body; it’s a deeper call to clear away energies that don’t support our highest good and to create a more harmonious relationship with the world around us.
The skin has its own intelligence, revealing truths that may otherwise go unnoticed. When issues arise on the skin’s surface, it often reflects the state of the inner self. A spiritual cleanse can manifest through skin detoxification as the body asks for attention, care, and love. By honouring the skin as an organ of both protection and expression, the process of detoxing can be an invitation to reconnect with one’s essence, aligning physical care with spiritual renewal.

"The Skin is the Project Manager" - Telan Wade

My beautiful friend Telan who’s a healer says the skin is the project manager of the body and reminded me that we are in the year of the snake – shedding!

Significance of final eclipse Aries March 2025

As we approach the final Aries solar eclipse in this series, we’re closing a chapter that’s been all about finding balance between our personal desires and the needs of others. Over the past two years, this eclipse series has pushed us to step into our power, challenge the parts of us that were too afraid to shine, and fiercely claim our place in the world. It’s been about standing tall as individuals while navigating the art of connection and compromise with others. And now, as we reach the end of this cycle, it’s time to reflect: how have you shown up for yourself in these last two years? Have you been truly living in your authentic truth?
This Aries solar eclipse is like a final, empowering call to action—an invitation to take bold steps toward your future. Aries, as the sign of initiation and courage, is urging you to trust in your ability to act decisively and fearlessly. It’s about stepping into the unknown, letting go of the fear that holds you back, and embracing your inner strength. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to start something new, make a shift, or finally release what’s no longer serving you, this is it. The universe is asking you to seize the moment and trust that you have everything you need within you to make your next move.

A significant ending and beginning with the Aries Solar Eclipse March 2025

For many of us, this eclipse brings a sense of closure, but also a new beginning—a chance to finally put into practice the lessons we’ve learned about asserting our needs and honouring our independence. It’s the final push to step away from people-pleasing, from shrinking ourselves to fit into spaces that no longer serve us. This is the moment to rise up with confidence, knowing that what you’re creating now will set the stage for the next chapter of your life. Trust that this eclipse is not just an ending, but a beautiful opportunity to become the most powerful, authentic version of yourself, aligned with your deepest desires and purpose.
After this powerful Aries solar eclipse, the intensity that has marked the Aries-Libra eclipse series will begin to ease up. Eclipses bring big, transformative energy, often pushing us to face deep truths and make major shifts. While the energy of this last eclipse is undeniably powerful, it’s also a moment of release and closure, which means things will start to feel lighter. The emotional intensity that we’ve been navigating may start to calm down, giving us space to breathe and reflect.

Post eclipse March 2025 after Aries Libra

While things may feel less intense, it’s not an invitation to be complacent. Instead, this time brings the freedom to move forward with a sense of clarity and confidence, knowing that we’ve been through the fire and come out stronger. Spiritually, it’s a chance to take the lessons we’ve learned and ground them into reality, bringing more peace and alignment into our daily lives. So, yes, while the energy may feel lighter, it’s a quiet, steady momentum forward—more nurturing than chaotic, but no less transformative.

Aries Solar Eclipse - Fire meets Water 2025-2027 Pisces North Node

Literally as I am speaking and channeling I see a vision of a wildfire meeting the ocean. The Aries North Node calls you to blaze forward—bold, fierce, unapologetic. You’re here to claim your desires, to make moves with instinct, without hesitation. But your South Node in Libra has kept you balancing scales for lifetimes, looking to others before making a move, questioning your own impulses, softening your fire for the sake of peace.
Now, the call is different. Aries demands sovereignty. No more waiting for permission. No more diluting your truth. You are the fire that ignites the path ahead.
But what happens when fire meets water? Water being the new north node in Pisces from 2025 to 2027.
If you try to control it, it sputters, resists, and drowns in the depths of doubt. But if you surrender to the alchemy, something sacred emerges—steam. Movement. Flow. Transformation.
This is your path. You are learning to trust the fire of your own soul while softening into divine surrender. It’s not about charging ahead recklessly, nor is it about dissolving completely. It’s about knowing when to lead and when to let go. It’s about passion infused with wisdom, action guided by intuition.
Your spiritual growth is in embracing the fire of Aries while learning the dance of Pisces—moving with purpose but surrendering to the greater current. Trusting that your boldest leaps are divinely guided. Trusting that your path unfolds not by force, but by faith. Very much the feelings of balancing the divine masculine and divine feminine within yourself. Chills.
This is where you become unstoppable. Not because you dominate, but because you no longer resist your own becoming.

What if the next step isn't force... but faith?

What happens when your next step isn’t about force, but faith? When life calls you not to charge forward, but to surrender?
This is the shift your soul is making with Pisces North Node. It’s not about losing your independence or dimming your fire—it’s about expanding your confidence beyond just yourself. Aries trusts its own will; Pisces trusts the will of the universe. Aries moves because it knows it can; Pisces moves because it knows it’s held. The contrast is striking, but the essence is the same. Both energies require courage—one to act despite fear, the other to trust despite uncertainty. You are learning that not everything needs to be conquered, some things must be allowed.
Your spiritual evolution is in merging these truths. You don’t have to push so hard when you remember that unseen forces are working with you. Your fire doesn’t die in the water—it transforms, becoming something greater than just your own strength. It becomes trust, intuition, surrender. When you stop trying to control every outcome and instead walk with faith, your path unfolds in ways even your boldest Aries heart couldn’t have imagined.

Chiron in Aries March 2025

Do take note a few other things are happening with Aries as I mentioned Neptune in Aries a few poddy eps ago (big collective shifts) and in the background since 2018 Chiron has been in Aries collectively and will be until 2026 fully leave in 2027 (because the next Chiron sign will be in Taurus).
Chiron in Aries brings a powerful lesson about healing the wounds around your identity and finding the courage to show up fully as yourself. Aries is all about action, independence, and owning your space, but with Chiron, there’s often a deeper wound about feeling unworthy or unable to assert yourself. This energy challenges you to face the fear of not being good enough or being judged when you step into your personal power. The real work is in owning who you are, without apologising, and recognising that your unique self has something of value to offer.
This time calls you to stop holding back. Chiron in Aries asks you to stop hiding behind the mask of what others expect and to embrace your vulnerability as your strength. It’s about leaning into the discomfort and saying, “This is me—take it or leave it.” Through this, you heal not by shutting down or withdrawing, but by being visible and authentic, even when it feels risky. True courage isn’t about the absence of fear; it’s about pushing through it and showing up in a way that feels aligned with your true self.
The big takeaway here is that power isn’t just about being bold or brash—it’s about finding the confidence to act from a place of authenticity, even if that feels difficult at first. The word coming through is also to be unapologetic about it.
Chiron in Aries teaches us that it’s time to stop doubting your right to be seen, heard, and respected. When you heal these wounds, you step into a life that’s authentically yours, leading with confidence and courage—not because you’ve eradicated fear, but because you’ve learned to move with it.
To call it out further a few snippets of Chiron in Aries lessons:
Chiron in Aries: Breaking Free from the Fear of Rejection
With Chiron in Aries, you’re called to overcome the fear of rejection and own your individuality, understanding that your uniqueness is what makes you powerful.
Chiron in Aries: Owning Your Voice
Chiron in Aries asks you to finally speak your truth, healing the wound of silencing yourself and showing you that your voice matters and is worth being heard.
Chiron in Aries: Healing the Battle Within
Chiron in Aries encourages you to stop fighting against yourself, guiding you to make peace with your inner conflicts and become your own greatest ally.

Rewiliding the divine feminine energy within and balancing it with the masculine

Before I share some journal prompts when channeling a message for anyone listening to this podcast three things came up: masculine, wild and family.
I really get this sense of reclamation – being the captain of your own ship—when you’re constantly trying to please everyone else or sacrificing your own needs, you lose control of the wheel. But when you learn to prioritise yourself, you can steer in the direction that aligns with your true desires and purpose. Putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s necessary for navigating your life with clarity, confidence, and strength.
Another analogy is that of a fire: Imagine your energy as a flame—when you keep giving it away to others or neglecting your own needs, the flame dims, and the fire risks burning out. But when you care for it, stoke it with your passions, and shield it from external distractions, the fire grows brighter and stronger. This powerful, nourishing flame fuels your actions and decisions, giving you the energy to pursue what you truly want in life without guilt or hesitation.
Lastly, think of yourself as a well—if you constantly pour into others and never refill your own reserves, you eventually run dry. Putting yourself first is about ensuring that your well is replenished, so you have the resources—emotional, mental, and physical—to give from a place of abundance.
It feels like it’s time to reconnect with the wild, raw power that lives within you. Deep within your bones is a primal energy that has been passed down through generations of fierce, resilient women who stood strong in the face of challenges. This power is untamed, unfiltered, and unapologetic. It’s the force that once ran wild through the forests and rivers, that danced in the moonlight, and that trusted the Earth beneath its feet. This power is yours to claim, just as it was theirs. It is not bound by rules or expectations—only by the deep knowing of your own worth and the strength that flows through you.
You are meant to rise, unapologetic in your truth. To stop hiding your brilliance and your power. This journey back to your wild self is not about becoming something you’re not, but about shedding the layers of conditioning and fear that have kept you from fully embracing who you’ve always been. Your wildness is your strength, your intuition, and your ability to navigate life with grace and fierceness. It’s about being bold in your choices, trusting your instincts, and acting with purpose. It’s about giving yourself permission to be messy, real, and whole in all your beauty.
Reclaim your power, and honor the ancestors who lived fiercely and freely. Tap into the rhythms of the Earth and listen to the wisdom of the land, the moon, and the stars. Your wildness is sacred—don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. It’s time to stop asking for permission and start living as the fierce, unstoppable woman you are meant to be.

Power Dynamics: Reflect on how power dynamics have influenced relationships. Have there been moments of feeling empowered or disempowered, and what has been learned about reclaiming personal power moving forward?
Authentic Self-expression: Has there been full expression of who you truly are, or have parts of your authentic self been hidden away? What steps can be taken to show up more fully and authentically in every aspect of life?
Reflection on Love and Partnership: How has the approach to love and partnership transformed? Has there been space for harmonious connections while still maintaining individuality and personal integrity?
The Future: What vision is emerging for the next phase of life? What small steps can be taken to align more deeply with purpose and potential as this chapter closes and a new one begins?

Wrapping up Aries Libra Eclipse 2023-2025
So as you walk this path, remember—your Aries fire is not meant to burn alone, nor is it meant to be extinguished. It’s learning to dance with something greater. You are shifting from self-reliance to divine trust, from force to flow, from control to co-creation. The balance of Aries and Libra, fire and water, masculine and feminine, is not about choosing one over the other—it’s about channeling both. Knowing when to lead, when to surrender. When to speak, when to listen. When to push forward, and when to allow yourself to be carried. This is the alchemy of your soul’s evolution. You are not losing yourself—you are expanding beyond what you thought you had to be. Trust the fire. Trust the water. Trust the unfolding.
Before we go quickly touching base a reminder limited spaces remain and are closing for the Vietnam flow luxury feminine energy retreat May 25-31. Limited spaces also remain for the Bali Retreats August 4-9, September 29-October 4 is if you’re interested get in touch. 1:1 spaces available and human design readings from mid April though DM me to get in earlier.
