    #321-"Think in Ways You Never Thought Before"-Week of July 14, 2025

    Mercury (Storyteller) turns retrograde in Leo (for 3 weeks): 🔮 Alchemical Opportunities: This retrograde in heart-centered, expressive Leo asks for a rewiring of self-expression—especially around how you speak from ego versus soul.It’s an invitation to revisit your inner scriptwriter: Are you performing or revealing? Are you leading from performance or presence?Mercury’s journey back through Leo is a mythic call to recover your original creative fire—the gold of authenticity buried under personas built for approval.🌟 Invitations: Revisit past projects, creative dreams, or bold communications that still hold vitality.Track where your voice has been dimmed—by shame, fear of rejection, or performative pressures.Reflection: “Where am I being asked to re-ignite my courage to speak and create from truth rather than approval?”Sun in Cancer Squares Chiron in Aries 🔮 Alchemical Opportunities: The Cancer Sun illuminates the wound of over-defensiveness or isolation (Chiron in Aries). There’s a tension between the tender need to belong and the armored stance of fierce independence.This is ancestral and inner-child territory: wounds around not feeling safe to need others, or feeling unseen in your vulnerability.A sacred clash between the protective shell and the initiatory fire of healing.🌟 Invitations: Notice where you’re either retreating too far into protective patterns or pushing too hard to “go it alone.”This is a ripe time for tending to younger parts of you that learned independence as a survival strategy.Reflections:  “What part of me longs to feel safe enough to let others in?”  “What am I protecting that is actually ready to be loved into wholeness?”Mars in Virgo Conjunct the South Node 🔮 Alchemical Opportunities: Mars—the planet of will, drive, and instinct—merges with the karmic South Node in meticulous Virgo, illuminating outdated survival strategies of over-efforting, control, or hypercriticism.This transit may activate perfectionism as a wound-based response to feeling unworthy or unsafe.You're being asked to let go of the illusion that “if I just do it all right, I’ll be okay.”🌟 Invitations: Notice where you are driven by anxiety-masked-as-productivity.Practice right action from wholeness, not from wounding.Reflections:  “Where am I still caught in the loop of fixing rather than transforming?”  “What old patterns of hyper-vigilance or over-responsibility am I ready to release?”Podcast poem: "Things to Think" by Robert Bly Support the show Go to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page Follow Sheila: https://www.instagram.com/ontheedgesofchange https://www.pinterest.com/ontheedgesofchange

    #320-"Do What Has to Be Done, Again and Again"--Week of July 7, 2025

    Venus in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius  Venus (Relational One) in Gemini awakens curiosity, relational flexibility, and the art of dialogue. Trining Pluto (Transformer) in Aquarius, it’s a call to use language and connection as tools for deep transformation, truth-telling, and social innovation. Engage in courageous conversations that dismantle outdated relational patterns. Let your voice be a mirror of soul-deep intelligence. Reflection: how can you become a channel for love that liberates through conscious speech? Full Moon in Capricorn Full Moons illuminate. In Capricorn, it spotlights themes of mastery, long-term commitment, ancestral wisdom, and the structures that support or suppress your growth. What emotional structures have reached their limit? Where are you being invited to stand in your inner authority—not as control, but as wise stewardship? Reflection: What outdated “success scripts” need to be composted to root your unique visionary path in soulful integrity? Saturn Turns Retrograde in Aries As the planetary elder slows to retrograde in bold, initiating Aries, Saturn (Responsible One) invites a revision of how you hold self-authority and agency. What does mature initiative look like in this new era? What inner contracts around identity and leadership need to be re-evaluated? Reflection: How do you reclaim the fire of purpose without replicating the current cultural dominator paradigm?

    #319-"My Friends, Let's Grow Up"--Week of June 30, 2025

    This week we’re being asked to radically shed outdated forms of value, identity, and communication. It’s a threshold moment—initiate your freedom from old paradigms. Let love, mysticism, and curiosity rewire your being. • Venus Conjunct Uranus at 29° Taurus The 29th degree of any sign is a critical threshold—and this Venus (Relational One)-Uranus (Maverick) conjunction is a cosmic lightning strike to awaken us from complacency around beauty, embodiment, and connection. Uranus shakes the roots of Venus’ Taurus temple. Old attachments get jolted. New love or creativity may feel shocking but necessary. This is a wake-up to liberate embodied wisdom and radical self-worth. Key Themes: ⚡ Revolution of the Heart and Values💔 Sudden Breakthroughs in Love, Resources, and Worth🌿 The Final Disruption of Old Value Systems Rooted in Safety and Materialism• Neptune Stations Retrograde at 2° Aries Neptune (Dreamer-Visionary) retrograding in early Aries says: you are not who you thought you were. This is the spiritual shedding of false confidence or performative power. It initiates a several-month journey of inward dream quest to find an authentic identity that is both mystical and sovereign. The Dream Warrior archetype awakens here—visionary action must be sourced from inner truth, not ego. Key Themes: 🔥 Initiation of Mystical Agency🌀 Foggy Beginnings Needing Intuitive Attunement🌬 Unraveling the Illusions of "Self" That Can Lead to Sacred Identity• Uranus Enters Gemini for the First Time Since 1941 Uranus (Maverick) in Gemini marks a seven-year shapeshifting of the mental realm. It electrifies how we communicate, learn, relate, and organize. This transit supports the edgy visionaries who channel new stories into culture. Expect shocking truths, AI ethics reckonings, and rewilding the mind. It’s a time to dismantle rigid binaries and speak with soul. ⚔️ Rebellion of Thought, Words, and Ideas🔮 Radical Rewiring of Perception and Collective Narratives🌪 Social Innovation, Tech Evolution, and Trickster Wisdom RisingPodcast poem: The Dakini Speaks by Jennifer Welwood Support the show Go to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page Follow Sheila: https://www.instagram.com/ontheedgesofchange https://www.pinterest.com/ontheedgesofchange

    Mercury (Storyteller) makes connections with four planets this week supporting you to activate catalyzing narratives and insights. The Sun conjoins Jupiter in Cancer supporting you to expand your sensitivity and capacity to nurture whom and what you love (especially yourself). Chani says: "this is a glorious rebirth moment. Summon your faith in yourself and allow your gifts to ripple outward." The New Moon in Cancer anchors you in the waters of belonging to home and family (however you define them). Compassionately re-connect with your web of community, human and more-than-human. Congruently resource the ones of you and the world who struggle with fear and loneliness. Mercury (Storyteller and Bridge-Maker) at the end of Cancer sextiles Uranus (Maverick) at the end of Taurus.  Open your mind to innovative and unexpected ways to be grounded. Mercury enters Leo for an extended time (5 weeks) due to its upcoming retrograde motion in this zodiac sign. Awaken your creative Muse and heart-shining voice. Don't be shy to share. Mercury in Leo trines both Saturn (Responsible One) and Neptune (Dreamer) in Aries. Chani says about the Saturn cycle: "what if you reframed your restraints as jumping-off points for creativity? Limits can be supportive too." She offers about the Neptune cycle: "probe the edges of your daydreams for pearls of inspiration. Divine downloads await." Mercury in Leo opposes Pluto (Transformer) in Aquarius challenging you to embrace truths about the next level of necessary deep identity changes. How can you shine your unique presence and creativity in the world in support of liberation for others and the world?

    #316-"A Threshold We Know We Have to Cross"--Week of June 9, 2025

    This week's astrological cycles have a strong crossroads feel about them--time to make some key decisions. Jupiter (Inner Wise One-Guide) enters Cancer for a year of heart expansion. Chani says: "This is one of the most life-giving signatures of 2025, and we get to revel in it for a whole year. So dust off your abundance mindset and pin it to your sleeve. It’s your good luck charm." Mercury (Storyteller) in Cancer squares both Saturn (Responsible One) and Neptune (Visionary) in Aries.

Jupiter in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries marking an essential turning point in societal growth and sustainable change.

    #315-"This is How It's Meant to Be"--Week of June 2, 2025

    This week, three planets move through the 29th degree of a zodiac sign, marking a sense of "now or never" time to wrap things up with regard to recent lessons and insights with their journey through the zodiac sign. Venus (Relational One) in Aries sextiles Jupiter (Guide -Wise One) in Gemini, both at 29 ° of these signs. Since early March when Venus turned retrograde and was also in sextile to Jupiter, what old paradigms with relationships and values are you releasing? What old beliefs of the need to be too frenetic and overwhelmed with information and data are done? Mercury (Storytelller) in Gemini squares the Nodes (Evolutionary One) in Pisces and Virgo challenging you to shift old narratives of the impulse to do rescue moves and sacrificial service. Instead, cultivate narratives of greater inner peace, trust of your spiritual side and compassion. Mercury conjoins Jupiter at 29° Gemini supporting you to harvest the new expanded ideas and options you've explored in the last year. Also, release old patterns of excessive information gathering and processing that have caused disassociation and overwhelm.
