    252. Enjoying The View of Your Own Becoming

    How might aligning with Deep Time assist us in trusting ourselves and, more importantly, trusting the constant unfolding of the cosmos? In this episode, I invite us to contemplate the nature of time to consider how we relate to our own processes. From the perspective of deep time, we are always in process. Across lifetimes, across different chapters within our current lifetime, and across myriad collective evolutions we move through. At the same time, the human experience of impatience, frustration, and disappointment comes with the territory. The question isn’t about avoiding or bracing for these experiences. But rather, how one can create space for deeper curiosity toward various layers of our experiences. Curiosity is a portal. It’s a way of aligning with the larger flow of life, with the trickster current, with this cosmic body we are part of. I invite you to gaze at your own resistance the way you might gaze at a beautiful aquarium. Letting yourself be in awe without feeling the need to interfere. To treat the light, spacious observing of your own patterns as a creative practice, a way of learning to enjoy the view of your own becoming. This is what mystics and sages call presence: being so engaged with your experience that the impulse to fix or change it dissolves. Paradoxically, this becomes the secret to alchemizing tension. Because life is always expanding in all directions. _______ Resources & Links If you’ve enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private ongoing guidance with me.

    251. Stuckness is Creativity Seeking Expression

    In this episode of Healing the Spirit, I speak to the experience of stuckness. Why does stuckness feel so intense? How might we understand the deeper energetic current that contributes to feeling stuck? What vaster perspectives might we lean upon to help us move through these challenging impasses with grace and power? I also contextualize this inquiry in the current astrology. We’re entering a week full of squares: between Mars and Pluto, the Sun and the lunar nodes, and between Venus and Saturn. Whether you’re listening as these transits unfold or finding this episode later, I invite you to carve out some space to dialogue with your stuckness and to recognize it as a nexus of creative energy, waiting to flow towards more authentic expressions. _______ Resources & Links Support the podcast on Substack here Join the waitlist for an upcoming summer course on unleashing your inner creative beast here.

    250. The Bridge is Holy Ground

    In the last few years, the word ‘liminal’ has become a mainstay within the public discourse. And yet, navigating our own liminal moments with grace remains an elusive art. It still requires awareness, attention, and practice. In this episode, I contemplate the in‑between times: when the old chapter has dissolved but the new one hasn’t quite landed yet in our system. Losses re-organize our sense of belonging, not just on a larger identity level, but also through the disappearance of familiar rituals that hold micro moments together. How might we support ourselves and others as we walk through these bridge periods? It’s easy to forget the basics in these moment. To abandon simple practices and timeless principles that actually keep us sane and connected when everything else feels like an emergency. I walk through three ways we tend to respond to these bridge periods. Some of us check out and take a metaphorical (or literal) nap, watching life pass us by like a video game. Some of us go into hyperfocus and hyperpanic, building giant checklists, trying to control every possible outcome, our minds going a million miles per hour even when our bodies are lying in bed. And then there’s a third way that’s much rarer. We can choose to fully ground into this chapter. To treat the bridge itself as holy ground. To recognize it as a temple in its own right. Those who practice this third response glow in the midst of transition because they’re not trying to escape, numb out, or fast‑forward. They’re fully present to the exact moment they’re in. _______ Resources & Links Support the podcast on Substack here Sign up for my newsletter to hear about new offerings here.

    249. Finding Spaciousness in The Heart of Uncertainty

    Uncertainty is really up in the air right now. Many of us are navigating periods of intense existential questioning. About our work, relationships, and place in a world that’s changing at a pace that feels almost impossible to keep up with. What’s shifted is that this isn’t just an individual exploration anymore. The collective is asking these questions now, and for those of us who have been sitting with these kinds of questions for a long time, we’re feeling the amplification of everyone else beginning to ask them too. Sometimes in ways that look a little like an allergic reaction 🙃 In this episode, we contemplate what it actually means to find spaciousness when the ground beneath us feels like quicksand. Spaciousness, to me, is really a perceptual switch. A kind of inner discipline that prioritizes allowing and softening, rather than the muscling or efforting kind many of us are habituated into. As we head into a Mercurial week featuring a Mercury cazimi and a conjunction with Uranus in Gemini, we look to the archetypes of the messenger and the magician to consider our uncertain times. Mercury teaches us that uncertainty cannot actually exist without spaciousness. They are two sides of the same coin. Whatever feels uncertain or unresolved right now, instead of relying on your mind to find the one exact solution (which, frankly, never really exists) allow yourself to sit with your imagination. Be playful with your uncertainty. Be like jellyfish: No spine, no rigidity, and one of the oldest surviving creatures on the planet. _______ RESOURCES & LINKS Support the podcast on Substack here Sign up for my newsletter to hear about new offerings here.

    248. The Astrology of January-April 2026 with Mara Smith (Unedited)

    In this episode, I share an unedited version of my conversation with astrologer and musician Mara Smith about the astrology of 2026, focused on the first four months of the year from January through April. We recorded this at the start of the year, and I’m excited to offer it here in a form that preserves the spontaneity, thinking-on-our-feet energy, and insight of our original exchange. I love exploring astrology as a lens not just to anticipate what may unfold, but also to reflect back on lived experience. And now that this first stretch of 2026 has passed, I invite you to listen with your own experience in mind and consider how our delineations and predictions resonate with what you lived through. Mara and I explored the year’s opening tone, including the powerful “cazimi town” feel of January, with Venus leading the way through Capricorn alongside the Sun and Mars. We also talked about the clarifying but not always comfortable quality of the early-year transits, and the major threshold moment of Saturn and Neptune entering Aries, which shifts the energy from preparation into action. Overall, this conversation points to a year that begins with structure being challenged and rebuilt, asking us to move with more intention, courage, and willingness to act before everything feels fully settled. I hope this episode offers something useful for your process and deepens your understanding of the first part of the year.

    245. The Myth of Individual Dreams ~ Mars meets Neptune in Aries

    “Who you are is never a problem. You never have to change who you are. If you know that something is coming from your core, and there are people around you who makes that a problem – this is not something to solve within yourself. This is a matter of you recognizing that in that moment, when other people seemingly can’t understand you, it’s because they can’t understand themselves.” This is the core of the message I wanted to convey in this episode. When I hear people talk about the conflict between their individual dreams and the collective, I hear the underlying illusion of separation. In Truth, we are never separate. We are always entangled with one another – influencing, evolving, and showing each other the way towards growth. Under an intensely Martial sky, it’s easy to forget that we’re part of a collective body that’s trying to move the story along in our own ways. May we never forget how beautiful and essential our individual uniqueness is. And may we never forget how our individual emanation contributes to the collective unfolding. _______ Resources and Links * Join Galactic Warrior: From Imaginary Fear to Embodied Courage, a guided journey & embodiment workshop for the New Moon in Aries here * Book a 20-minute recorded tarot reading here * Support the podcast on Substack here * Book a single session with Jonathan here * Apply for ongoing guidance container with Jonathan here * Try the breathwork and meditation app Open for 30 days free here * Join the waitlist for Venus & Mars, a 3-month alchemical immersion to rekindle your inner flame and fall back in love with your life here This is a public episode.
