Hey, how are you? Welcome to the first episode of 2026. Hope you have had a really nice break in whatever way or expression that that went. I hope it was a good one for you. It was so nice to take a couple of weeks off of. Recording these and like I love recording these, but I kind of just, I think we just need to normalize like how great it is to not do stuff sometimes and to have that regenerative process of not being in our normal routines in a way, which can be hard for me with a Virgo moon, but. Every time I step away from things, yeah, I just have more energy to come back with. Which I mean, hey, that's no major insight, but it's always a good reminder I think to, to live through. I wanna talk about the astrology of the week, uh, and I want to talk about one of the themes of this year and next year, which is really. Something that we've been led, led up to something that the astrology of the last several years has really been leading us up to, which is doing more of you. Um, so I want to kind of explain that from my perspective a little bit. In this, uh, in this sesh, in this, in our time together. I have the chart of right now in front of me, uh, it's Sunday afternoon. As I'm recording this, I'm actually in a few hours going to be talking or presenting a talk for my friend Bergan, uh, for her amazing membership, which you should all check out. Oh, I hope you didn't hear that vehicle. Um, she's just an absolute legend. Has so much integrity, is just so rad in all of the ways. Um, and yeah, I'm just, I can't wait. I'm honored to be presenting or talking to the people that are attracted to her work.'cause I know that they're gonna be absolute legends because she is one. Uh, and yeah, so the astrology of right now. Sunday afternoon, we're still in the moon, is still in cancer. Last night we had the full moon in cancer, so we're here for the first couple of days of, we're here for today, Monday, and the first part of Tuesday as well. And so it's, it's really like a theme of the week ahead. And it's beautiful because right now the moon in cancer is conjunct. Jupiter in cancer, which has been one of the major themes of 2025 and Jupiter remains in cancer until the 30th of June this year. So it's also, uh, a major marking of 2026. And I've spoken about this several times. You know, it's like what is meaningful is felt now, and our sense of meaning is. Something that we're locating more deeply within ourselves. We're looking at what's meaningful within our own sanctuary, both physically like our, our home, uh, family, however that is concocted for you and also our inner home. So it's like when, where the more that you are able to nourish. What you consider to be meaningful and meaningful life for you from the roots up. Uh, there's always gonna be bounty behind that. Uh, of course. And now and again for the first seven months of this year, there's extra bounty and I love that. Part of the full moon's, uh, movement is then moving over Jupiter. So. And, and the moon was conjunct Jupiter for the full moon last night, which is awesome. You know, like what a great emphasis of is all of this Capricorn energy. You know, it's the new calendar year right now. We have Mars, the Sun, Venus, mercury, that's huge. It's all the personal planets and our son, our life force sitting here in Capricorn, which is, uh. You know, we can really, people can really get swept up in this time of year where they, you know, new year, new you. I mean, how many lame slogans do we have for a new year? I personally love a fresh calendar year, just like I love a fresh notebook. I love freshness. Um, I have Capricorn, uh, on my ic, so it's like, personally, I love. Discipline structure, uh, knowing what I'm moving towards it, that is actually very nourishing for me to have all of those things lined up. The IC is the beginning of the fourth house. It's like you're inner world, always a great area to be aware of in your chart ps. Um, but it's, this is fab, you know? So in an outward expression, Capricorn is us out in the, in the world. It's our roles and obligations. Uh, it's it's legacy. What am I mastering over time? What am I showing up for routinely? Um, what are the moves that I'm making to ascend whatever goal or desired outcome I am? Yeah. Practically applying my energy towards, so, because there's so much, all the personal planets are there and our, our source of vitality is all there right now. There's so much energy geared towards make these plans. Um. Uh, what are my values? How am I, what's my willpower up to? How am I taking action here? Um, and like, again, I love this energy and I also don't, I don't know, you can, I see a lot where people are talking about, yeah, this isn't a time of action, and. You know, for all of you in the Northern Hemisphere, it's like it's your wintertime. Here, here and where I am it, it is the high, it's the beginning of summer, so there is more like Yang energy active here. But Capricorn is about planning. It's the practical application, but it's also honing in on what are the mountains that I want to ascend? What are the architectural blueprints that I want to, uh. Draw out for this year. I don't, I personally, I don't really attach Capricorn with, now I must do all of these things. The action energy really takes hold astrologically, at least when we enter the Equinox and we enter Airi season, um, which is the new year for those of us who are astrologically inclined. Um, but all of that said, there is a lot of this. Emphasis on what am I doing this year? What direction am I heading? What are the mountains that I want to ascend or parachute into, um, et cetera, et cetera. And the beauty of this full moon, especially because it's conjunct, this deep bastion of meaning and um, which is Jupiter, we're able to, we've been able to really check in with our inner world. And get a sense of things, you know, matching the external, which is a lot of what Capricorn's about with the internal, how do I feel about these goals is, are these actually aligned to, are these things that I wanna do? Are they actually aligned to me or am I getting caught up in the maelstrom? Am I getting caught up in the, you know, the fresh juice energy of the year ahead? Um, and you know, I think, and what I wrote about in my post for the Full Moon is the way forward starts with, starts within, you know, the more that we're learning to live from the inside out rather than the outside in, that's everything. And as that gets harder to do as it gets, like I say, I feel like all the time. Uh, because it's just so alive as it gets more seductive and easy and comfortable to live from the outside in, it's more and more and more important to have these, have this relationship to our inner world. Uh, to be in consultation with our own, like inner sanctum, you know, our own intuitive, uh, waters. Which is so much of what Capricorn represents. It's also absolutely related to our inner child and our inner maternal aspect. Cancer has a lot to do with how do I nourish my inner world? How do I apply that maternal energy to myself? Uh, and so, yeah, I guess what I wanna say is like, it's interesting. I love the timing of this, that yes, it's a new, it's a new year and there's so much beautiful Capricorn energy here. You know, where our vital, the vitality in the sky is aligned with our willpower, it's aligned with our values and it's aligned with our mind right now. This is a very strong week. Like I'd be surprised if over the last week and this week you aren't contemplating the year ahead and. Yeah, sure. We could say that it's the structure of the Gregorian calendar, blah, blah, blah. I'd also say it's astrologically on point to be contemplating the time ahead. Satin, the ruler of Capricorn is the mastery of things over time. Uh, self-mastery over time, through time and space. You know, the. Part of the parameters for learning here is our experience of, of engaging with ourselves, with life through the structures that I almost wanna say, like the governance of time and space. They're the parameters for learning. Capricorn is mastery over time. So we wanna be looking at what is lush, what are these lush things that I can do that feel. Resonant to me in my inner world over time, rather than anything in the less conscious expre expression of Capricorn, which is, well, I'm gonna do all of these things. And I'm not gonna check in with how I feel about this. And as I begin to feel tired, I can, I can kind of like push that down and keep doing, doing, doing. And sooner or later, Hey, I'm burnout. I'm burnout from doing that thing and not listening to myself. Um, I was saying to one of my, uh, level two astrology school students today. Uh. She's graduated and I was just going over some of her great work, and burnout is often an, I'm gonna say an initiation that Capricorn goes through because part of what Capricorn needs to learn to do is to lean into its opposite energy, which is cancer. How am I feeling? How can I nourish myself? The more that cancer, the more that Capricorn has that, um, emotional, intuitive, inner world, ear and intelligence, the less it will burn out and also the more it will be able to achieve over time, because it won't, it won't have to take months out because it's overrided. It's in a world, you know? Um. Yeah. One thing that I wanted to note too, it's like Capricorn is a, is an archetype of integrity. Uh, which it, it just, it make, makes it so effing attractive and I think that's another marker of this full moon. You know, classically the full moon in cancer is where we're looking at anywhere that our emotional self. Is being, I would almost say immature or overriding our goals and what we're in devotion to. And again, knowing myself, having like a strong Capricorn marker. I am nourished when I am in discipline with things. I'm in devotion to particular things in my life. I like a high level of organization. Um. Personally, um, it just, it really suits my makeup and that's gonna be different for everyone. And that's fab. That's something that I want to talk about as well. This, this whole idea of like doing you, like I'm talking about what suits me. Knowing your chart is. Going to validate for you the ways that you do things. You're probably already doing them or you're already greatly inclined towards doing them and understanding your chart, diving deeply into it, embodying it more and more attuning to more and more of your own unique, let's say frequency. Um, just allows you to live in a way that's more true to you. And when we're doing that, we're less swayed by the collective whiplash of now everybody's into, I don't know, the 17th century and now everybody's into analog and hey, I think that's great by the way. Um, now everybody's into this particular fad, like, ugh, it's so. Lame. Um, what else do I wanna say here? But yeah, I, I just feel, again, because there's this relationship to Jupiter here, we're also tethering that kinda go-getter energy that's taking place in Capricorn right now. Like, it's a huge seum. This is anytime the personal planets are together, that's massive. Um, and here they are with the sun. Like this is mega energy. Um. And I love that. It's like this is, we're, we're starting the year in this reflective place. Hey, are these plans actually effing meaningful to me? Um, are these desires and goals, are they genuine? Like, how does this feel in my inner world? Where am I striving outside of myself for a sense of societal applause or success? Or this is what you are meant to do as a human. In this particular country at this particular age, versus, man, this is what I really wanna do. This is what's genuinely juicy for me. And so that leads me to my next point, which is doing you, um, for the first seven months of this year, the south node remains in Virgo. This simplification process continues. And, and then we'll, it will shift into Leo and I have so much to say to that. Um, if any of you're have been listening to any podcasts about these, like changes and shifts that are said to take place in, you know, 2027, et cetera, if any of you're into human design, a lot of that astrologically.'cause you know, astrology is a part of the map that is. That human design is based on, so much of that is relating to a transit that starts later this year and goes until March, 2028, which is the nodal axis moving into the axis of individuation. And yeah, I have so much to say about that. Um, if you haven't purchased the class on 2026, I recommend you do'cause it, it will just give you, it gives you a really clean. Well organized, uh, outline of the energies, the astrological forecast of this year. And I talk about it in there as well, but I'll talk about it so much when we're in it, like so much. You'll be so sick of hearing about it. Uh, but yeah, I just, I really wanna bring up this simplification process because it's moving through Virgo. Um, what we've come here to actualize. Is it, it just really plays in beautifully with the Capricorn energy. Right now. Capricorn is the, the genius who's able to see the long range view of things. Capricorn, part of Capricorn's intelligence is that it has long range. It has an understanding of time and it, it ages beautifully because it has this understanding of time. Um. It knows how to work with time practically as an earth sign. Now, when that's in a beautiful relationship to our Virgo, then we're able to go, okay, well here's the long range. So here's what my daily life needs to look like, which is Virgo. Here are the habits that I need to be inhabiting, uh, in order to actualize these long range goals and desires and. What we're doing with the south node in Virgo is going, man, do I even wanna actualize X, Y, Z? And also what are, what do I, how can I refine the way that I'm living daily? Also, the way that I'm talking to myself, because this is the territory of the inner critic and the perfectionist as well. So there's a lot of juice going on here at the beginning of the year, and I'm gonna kind of leave it there a bit, but. Because I just, you know, gosh, we're just starting. We don't need to be overwhelmed. Um, but trust yourself. Trust yourself. Trust your instincts. Trust your intuitive self. You know, I. I bang on about intuition a lot. It's a big part of my work and what I teach. It will continue to be, it's only gonna get more important that we're all tethered to our intuitive selves. Um, I have a course on this. I have a mini reading on this where I look at your intuition in your chart and give you a lot of practical examples, but also give you the validation about this. Like it's a great investment that will always serve you. You know, being tethered to your intuitive self is never going to lead you the wrong way. But yeah, I guess one of the reflections that I've had understanding the astrology of this year and next year and the year after that, um, is. It is about doing you, and again, like this first full moon is a marker of that. The south node in Virgo is a marker of that where releasing what's not ours, it's also this snake energy, right? Um, what am I, which to me, I always tethered to Scorpio personally. Um, it's, it's okay for me to grow out of what may have served me in the past. In order for me to be in more resonance with what genuinely serves me right now, that's been a big theme. We've also finished this nine year, this cycle of completion. Um, and so something that I just noticed over the last two weeks was, and I've thought this before, but it was just articulating it for myself and I, I just wanted to say it to you guys as well, is. Part of the thing with social media is, you know, I dunno, what's an example? Let's say there's a wellness routine, right? Or there's a beauty routine. Let's say a wellness routine. Uh, somebody talks about it, they talk about it with a lot of authority, um, and maybe they look really hot and they're talking to us about it on social media. And because they're talking about it with a level of certainty, we then begin, there's a part of our brains, especially'cause we're in like a, almost like a hypnogogic state. When we're taking in this, um, information, we then, part of our brains is like, oh, okay, well in order for me to be healthy, I need to do this routine. And, um, let me just try and think of some other examples. Uh, knitting is one that suddenly. All around and, and that seems like a really great, I mean, I, that would be a cool skill to have. I wish I had that skill. I don't, my friend Lulu does, she makes amazing jumpers and they're so beautiful, and I can see how that would be very calming. But now I'm just seeing it everywhere and yes, it might be what I'm tuning into, so I'm seeing it everywhere. But again, this is. Kind of how that technology works, right? Suddenly we, we look at something and then it's everywhere, and then we absorb it as, okay, well I must do this. This is meaningful for me. And a big part of the astrology of the last few years, and certainly the next few years. Like, no. What do you want to do? You know, what makes sense for you? What are you, um. Instinctually magnetized towards what, what brings you a sense of vitality, not what brings a sense of the hot person with the strong authority tone, um, a sense of meaning, you know, who's also tethered a course to that thing. Um, but what brings you a sense of meaning, um, that's only going to be more and more important. Um, what are the hobbies, the routines, the rituals, the way of doing all of the simple life stuff that we do. You know, morning routines, what I do in the day, nighttime routines that nourish you, that bring you a sense of life. And again, I think that's, it's a big theme of this year. It's a huge theme of next year, and it's, it began well. The first full moon of the year is so much to do with that. Again, Capricorn, with all of this energy there, there's this sense of like, okay, here's what, here's what I do out in the world. Here's my roles, my rollout in the world. Here's my, even my sense of obligation, my sense of social obligation, the job that I have, et cetera, et cetera. With this full moon, it's like, do I like that job? Do I. Is there a better way that I could do this again with the South note in Virgo is the way that, is there a way that I could simplify this? Is there a way that I could refine this? Or how, what does it look for me to bring more of what's meaningful for me into my daily life? Um, you know, when it's almost feels rebellious and it's not at all, um. Like, like I've said to you before, um, on one hand I'm like a very strong individual and then on another, like, I'm also highly sensitive and really aware of others and even like collective energy in a way, but like, I have no qualms whatsoever and I, and, and haven't, especially when I'm a singular being. It's definitely different when you're. Out socially or in a relationship I find, but I have no issue bucking the system. Let's say. Um, again, I'm, I'm kind of going off script. I don't have a script, but another thing that I wanna say about, and I will say lots of times this year, is like, we need to stop thinking that the better world, quote unquote, that we're moving towards. Is some kind of conglomeration of what has been, you know, it's like, oh, we're in late stage capitalism, and oh, this system's better. And oh, maybe we could do a hybrid of blah, blah, blah. No, man, like, let's think bigger. Let's have big conversations, collective conversations about it. Let's, let's all brainstorm everyone on earth right now. Let's have a brainstorm, you know, um. So we're, we're, we're breaking out of systems and, and I'm saying systems here again, because of, I keep looking at this St. And Capricorn systems, structures of society, some of which are wildly outdated and we can feel that because they feel stale or restrictive or lame, you know? Um. Yeah. So that's, that's me. Um, I hope you have a great week. Hope you are able to carve out some time to. Just be reflective with yourself and, and swim in your own energy as much as possible, especially if you're a busy person, especially if you tend to other people. Um, then yeah, it's so important for you to have that nourishment, you know, fill up your own cup first. Um, what else is happening? I've mentioned the astrology of 2026. I'll link that below. Astrology School doors open. Guess when? On the New Moon in Capricorn, January 19. Of course, um, you know, astrological timings are a beautiful thing, um, to utilize and you'll certainly get to understand that more and more in astrology school. Um, this is for you if, like you wanna learn this, you wanna be an astrologer. Level one is the first step towards that because you learn the language. You're learning the language each week, the homework is applying what you've learned to your own chart and those of your loved ones. So there's immediate practical application from week one, and it's just, I find the best way to learn because so, so it's also available and. For everyone who just really deeply wants to learn this language and understand themselves through this astrological lens. And if you are somebody who's had an interest, maybe you've had the CoStar app, maybe you've read a book or you follow several astrologers and you kind of have like a base level knowledge, um, that's fab. But it, that's still like you'd have No, you, you just, you wouldn't even, you don't, we don't know what we don't know. Right. Um, it goes way deeper than what you read on the internet. Um, and it's like you kind of, you need to go through that immersive experience. You need to have a teacher there that you can ask a thousand questions to, which you'll naturally have'cause you're learning a language, um, and then you're applying it to yourself and you, and you're journey with. This excellent group of legends who's also signed up for the same experience at the same time as you. And you get to see me read their charts as well as your charts. You get to see so many different, uh, conglomerations of how an astrological chart can be expressed. And then you get to hear all of your fellow students, um, experiences and expressions of particular archetypes. So it's a really immersive. Um, language and if it's, or experience. And if this is a language that you've been wanting to learn, then it does require that commitment to go deep. You can't learn it by reading a book. You can learn one level of it, let's say. Um. So yeah, that door's open for that. I'm doing an open house series of videos, which are just going out to the wait list. This is an incredibly relaxed launch. Um, I guess it's more of an invitation because it is such a booming wait list, and it's like if this is the time and you are getting that niggle and you know this is a meaningful thing for you to do, or it feels like the right time for you, then. I invite you in. So if that is you, then join the wait list and you'll be signed up to the videos. Um, I'm booked out for readings for January. That went really quickly. Uh, and I will soon put up February dates. But yeah, hope you'll have a great week and feel connected to yourself. Bye.
