Lunar Nodes Entering Libra and Aries—How it Affects YOU

Embracing Courage and Re-defining Relationships

A karmic shift is afoot!

The moon’s nodes are on the move, shifting the cosmic tides. Brace yourself for the Libran karmic stew as the south node enters Libra, stirring up questions about compromised peace, hidden frowns and polite dishonesty. The north node beckons from Aries, urging us to embrace courage and truth.

Between summer 2023 and 2025, we will navigate this celestial dance, each in our unique way. The overarching theme is about embracing the courage to stand true to yourself—feeding your life force and asserting personal will; holding true to your dreams and boundaries; overcoming fears. This 18-month transit has the potential to re-define personal relationships that are not balanced, where you are losing your personal power, and re-focus that energy on your SELF.

How can we effectively work with these energies? By exploring your individual astrological relationship with Libra and Aries (as it relates to your birth chart), delve into Venus and Mars and unlock the insights that shape your evolutionary journey.

Stay vigilant, embrace honesty, and dare to stand up for your truths.

Episode 4: Mars Meets Uranus in Gemini

Most of us think of Independence Day as a date on the calendar, not a moment the sky might be marking too. In this episode, Ryan, Lisa, and Alexander dig into the Mars-Uranus conjunction that went exact the morning of July 4th, 2026, and trace its echoes back through four passes in Gemini during the 1940s, right through the lead-up to Hiroshima. The conversation grounds itself in a real story, a couple who survived a lightning strike and a near house fire the night before, and how that single moment showed up in both of their charts. Pull up a chair.

Episode 3: Astrology, Consciousness & the Barbault Basket

Most of us know intuitively when a relationship or a conversation needs to go deeper than surface talk, but knowing how to get there is another matter. In this episode, Ryan, Lisa, and Alexander pull back the curtain on their own practice, showing what a session actually looks like when astrology is used as a tool for growth rather than prediction. At the center of the conversation is the Barbault Basket, a rare alignment of four outer planets forming this July that some are calling a turning point for the whole planet.

Episode 2: The Astrology of Conscious Change

Most of us sense that something significant is shifting in the world right now, but struggle to name it. In this episode, Ryan, Lisa, and Alexander make the case that astrology can offer exactly that: a language for what we're collectively moving through. At the center of the conversation is a rare alignment of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, three outer planets that have all changed signs at once, a configuration that only comes around every 500 years. Pull up a chair.

Your Chart Doesn't Get to Decide What Happened to You

Every placement in your birth chart exists on a spectrum. When an astrologer lands immediately on the shadow end of that spectrum, they aren't reading your chart. They're handing you their assumptions as though they were facts about your life. Your chart deserves a better reading than that.

Astrology Off the Charts - Episode 1: Who We Are

Most people find astrology through a Sun sign — a single symbol that can feel either too vague or too on-the-nose to be useful. What Ryan, Lisa, and Alexander are after is something far deeper: astrology as a living language for understanding who you are, where you've come from, and how you might grow. In this first episode, they introduce themselves, share how each of them found the practice, and lay out the humanistic philosophy that grounds everything they do. Pull up a chair.

My Manifesto: To Freedom

Most people spend their lives searching for freedom in the wrong direction, looking outward for permission, validation, or the perfect set of circumstances. In evolutionary astrology, freedom is not something you find. It is something you return to. Your birth chart holds the map back to your own design, and the life you are actively living is the territory. Here is what becomes possible when you start reading both together.

What Is a Birth Chart, Really?

Most people encounter astrology through their Sun sign — a single symbol that can feel either too vague or too limiting to be useful. In evolutionary astrology, a birth chart is something far richer: a karmic blueprint, a psychological map, and a developmental path toward your most fulfilled self. Here is what it is actually made of, and what it is actually for.

Why So Many People Feel “In Between” Right Now (An Astrological Perspective)

Many people are feeling “in between” right now — not necessarily lost, but no longer aligned with old roles, identities, or definitions of success. In this reflection, I share what I’m seeing across client astrology readings and the broader astrological context behind this quiet, collective shift. This isn’t about prediction, but about understanding change with more clarity, honesty, and self-trust.

Evolutionary Astrology and the Birth Chart: A Growth-Oriented Approach

When life feels uncertain or a familiar pattern begins to repeat, many people turn to astrology looking for answers. Evolutionary astrology offers something deeper than prediction. It provides a way to understand the inner dynamics shaping your experiences and the kind of growth being asked of you over time. In this article, I explore astrology as a system for self-awareness rather than fate, showing how the birth chart can serve as a living framework for clarity, choice, and personal evolution. When you understand how the pieces of your chart work together, astrology becomes a practical tool for living with greater intention and trust.
