    Finding harmony begins as a solo endeavor

    This is a little bonus piece, in addition to the regular monthly written piece planned for next Friday. You can also listen wherever you access podcasts. In this episode of the podcast, I discuss the current astrological energy and pull an Oracle card for added perspective. There is a bit of push and pull in the air, with Venus and Mercury in Scorpio asking us to examine why we are the way we are in relation to other people and to aspects of our life, and Mars in Leo (aided by Saturn in Aries) roaring at us to create something out of our life already. That’s it for now. I’d love to hear how things are going so far this Libra season? Thank you for listening! Please share this episode or Astrology, Alchemy, & Honest Recovery with a friend if you feel inspired. Thanks for reading Astrology, Alchemy, & Honest Recovery with Maria Luz!

    Uranus: a purposeful instability

    Where in your life do you feel like you do not fit in the status quo, or where you feel you must rebel against it? In your birth chart, Uranus may show where your soul means to introduce this purposeful. Transiting Uranus sits on the final degree of Taurus, and will be there through the Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn on 4/9 and New Moon on 4/17 before Uranus enters Gemini on 4/25. Building upon themes of this week’s Full Moon in Libra, throughout April, consider where instability has been brought into your life, especially as relates to your security and self-worth, and how you may be resisting. You can add my podcast, Conscious Curiosities with Maria Luz O’Rourke, to your podcast player. I will be back here next week with a written post! I would love to hear your thoughts on the episode.

    A Piscean Sort of Aries Equinox

    Today is the start of a new spin around the zodiacal wheel; however, it feels a bit like the wheel is stuck. The astrological energy is both a reflection and the conditions of our existence, so what might we be considering in this extended Piscean energy (Mercury has stationed on the Lunar North Node in Pisces today)? I would love to hear your thoughts and feelings. Thank you for listening! I have been alternating written posts with audio posts, which are just episodes of my weekly podcast, Conscious Curiosities.

    Ceres and Chiron meet in Aries: Wounding around mother and food

    These two planetoids (or dwarf planets) meet about every five years, and the February 26th conjunction is meant to help you heal where you may have wounds related to the Ceres, Chiron, and Aries archetypes. Ceres brings in archetypes of the Great Mother and Goddess of the Harvest. In the horoscope, Ceres relates to mothers, food, loving others, and parent-child dynamics. Chiron is the archetype of the wounded healer. Aries relates to the individual identity, body, and drive. Thank you for listening! I have been alternating written posts with audio posts, which are just episodes of my weekly podcast, Conscious Curiosities. You can add this podcast to Apple, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube, etc. In this episode, I reference Greek mythology scholar and astrologer Demetra George.
