    Welcoming The 7 Sisters of Pleiades On March 22
    Mar 18 2026
    The astrology is unusually supportive of Midlife Magic, as the waxing crescent moon conjuncts the 7 Sisters of Pleiades on March 22nd! This is wonderful for spiritually aware women over 50 who are ready to reconnect with their inner wisdom and move into a more aligned and magical way of living. This week, the kind of energy that helps you release what no longer fits and begin listening to yourself again is especially strong. The stars are aligned for growth and movement right now in exciting ways! Register for the Midlife Magic Masterclass Friday 3/20 @2pm ET or Saturday, 3/21 @11am ET Email me to tell me which day works for you! New Moon Match 18th The New Moon on March 18, 2026, moves into Pisces, which brings a sense of completion and spiritual transition. Pisces energy is already intuitive, emotional, and inward-focused. But right now, we also have a cluster of planets in Pisces, which amplifies everything. Heads up! Your sensitivity may be higher. Your dreams may feel more vivid. And, you may find yourself picking up on subtle emotional or energetic cues more than usual. This New Moon follows a total lunar eclipse that was on March 3rd and comes just after Jupiter turned direct in Cancer on March 10th. Together, these events create a strong “turn the page” feeling after a period of emotional clearing. It’s like a clean slate waiting for something new. For many women in midlife, this can show up as being ready to release old stories. Stories about aging, what you want, and or dropping this need to be the caregiver for everyone. It’s time to take care of yourself! Your body may speak to you as well. Fatigue, tears, or even physical tension can be signals of your body asking for rest, gentleness, and attention. This is actually a beautiful window to set intentions around spiritual growth, creative expression, healing, and shifting old coping patterns into something healthier. In addition, you might start calling in relationships that honor who you are now. To mark the moment, keep it simple. Try a salt bath, a few minutes of journaling, or even asking yourself, “What identity am I ready to release?” From there, set a gentle, yet empowering intention like, “I allow a life that aligns with the woman I am now” which fits perfectly with this new astrological energy. The 7 Sisters of Pleiades On Sunday evening, March 22nd, the waxing crescent Moon conjuncts the 7 Sisters of Pleiades. It’s visually beautiful in the sky, just step outside and look up if it’s a clear night. There’s been a lot of talk about March 2026 feeling “magical,” partly because of several celestial events happening close together. These include the earlier March eclipse and a recent Grand Planetary Parade. The Seven Sisters have long been associated with shared wisdom, feminine connection, and support. That makes Sunday night the ideal time to gather with other women. You may focus on being supportive, healing old wounds, manifesting together or healing the earth.. You could spend a few quiet minutes outside, say a prayer, meditate, or do a ceremony of your own creation. There’s something powerful about simply pausing, looking up at the sky, and remembering that you’re part of something much larger and deeply intelligent. A Shift Toward Clarity As we move into early April, the energy begins to shift from inward reflection to clearer outer expression. On April 4th, Mercury becomes more visible in the sky. This supports communication, clarity, and new ideas. At the same time, there are larger background changes happening. Saturn and Neptune have recently moved into Aries starting a long cycle that blends vision with reality and intuition with structure. That means its a time to be more honest about what you want in this next phase of life. You may find yourself less willing to stay quiet just to keep the peace and have a stronger desire to express what feels true. Ideas that came through in March, whether in dreams, realizations, or emotional insights, now want to take form. So, you may have an honest conversation, make a clear plan, or take a step you’ve put off for a while. It could be something as simple as saying what you need in a relationship. Or as bold as starting a new project that feels more aligned with who you are now. There’s a growing sense of “This is more me,” and a willingness to follow that, even if it shifts expectations. That’s Midlife Magic for you. Connecting with your inner wisdom and higher self. It’s Time to Stretch Right now, the invitation is to move gently and be honest with yourself. Process what feels complete. Pay attention to what your inner voice says and what you really want. Notice where you feel called to stretch, even just a little. Connect with the real you and your higher self. Focus on your inner life first. Let emotions, dreams, and quiet moments guide you toward what is ending and what is ready to start fresh. Be intentional about connection. Whether it...

  • Bad Readings, Bad Dreams, And Bad Past Life Memories

    Bad Readings, Bad Dreams, And Bad Past Life Memories
    Mar 12 2026
    What do you do when you have a bad reading or have bad dreams? You can change them! Find out the easy fix in this episode of Breathe Love & Magic Maybe someone told you something that felt off in a reading that stuck in your head for years. The reader might have said, “You’ll never meet the right partner,” or “You’ll always struggle with money.” Gee, thanks for that notion. Argghhhh! Feeling lost in midlife? Register for the Free Midlife Magic Masterclass 3/20 @2pm ET or 3/21 @11am ET Let me know you choice of day in the message! Like a Pebble in Your Shoe Statements like that can lodge in the subconscious like a pebble in your shoe – so bothersome until you can remove it. I recommend that’s what you do with a bad reading – replace it with something that’s supportive or positive. Years ago, this is one reason why I stopped getting casual readings, the kind where you’re just curious and want to hear what an intuitive person has to say. For me, that started to feel like giving my power away. I still ask a trusted friend for intuitive insight from time to time, but only about a specific situation where I truly want another perspective. Or I feel stuck and aren’t sure which way to go. Recent Reading Recently, I was interviewing a woman who does an interesting style of readings. I allowed her to use me as a guinea pig during the podcast recording so she could demonstrate her method. That was not my best idea. I asked what I thought was a simple question that wouldn’t get me into any trouble. How wrong I was. The experience inspired me to share this story because I want you to know how to handle something like this if it happens to you. I’m going to explain how to reset your energy and take your power back. And this same method can also help with bad dreams or even uncomfortable past life memories. Back in the 1990s I used to attend psychic fairs with friends. I was curious about metaphysical practices and fascinated by the people who lived and breathed this work. Plus, it was fun browsing books, crystals, and spiritual tools that were much harder to find back then. At One Psychic Fair At one fair I sat down for a reading and asked about my near future. The reader started describing a situation that immediately made me nervous. Before I knew it she was predicting that I would become ill in the coming months. I was currently healthy and had not asked anything about my health. I remember feeling furious that someone would say something like that so casually. My reaction wasn’t exactly graceful. I stood up, slammed my hands on the table, looked her in the eye, and said, “That was not helpful!” Then I walked away in a huff. Admittedly, not my finest moment. Thankfully I never became ill that spring, but the reading lingered in my mind for a while. At that time I didn’t know how to clear something like that out of my energy field. Fast forward to last week during that podcast interview. The woman I was speaking with seemed nice and good-hearted, but at one point she said something that made my jaw drop. She said you always need a bad element in a reading. That is definitely not true in my world. Helpful & Uplifting Readings When I do readings for clients, the goal is always clarity, compassion, and support. Even when something challenging appears, I talk about the lessons involved and what options or perspectives might help. A reading should leave someone feeling more empowered, not discouraged. As the recording continued, the direction of the reading she was giving me started to feel increasingly dismal. She tried to soften it when she noticed my facial expression, but the cat was already out of the bag so to speak. When we finished recording, I suddenly felt exhausted and strangely sad. I went to lie down on the couch and took a short nap. When I woke up I realized what had happened. That reading had left a heavy feeling hanging over me. First, Clear Your Energy The first thing to do after an encounter like that is clear your energy. I did a quick Reiki clearing and there are many ways to do this. You can smudge yourself, take a shower, wash your hands, or simply step outside for fresh air and sunshine. Then I remembered something incredibly helpful I learned years ago from Hawaiian shaman Serge Kahili King, and later encountered again in a book by Denise Linn. It’s a simple idea that changes the way you see situations like this. You are not stuck with someone else’s predictions. You have the power to change the outcome energetically. This same approach works in three situations: bad readings, disturbing dreams, and troubling past life memories. Here’s what I did. Change the Outcome I spent time imagining the outcome I actually wanted. For example, I pictured the perfect summer. Lots of sunshine. Temperatures in the low 80s and low humidity. Walking along the shoreline or sitting with my feet in the sand. In my mind I was reading a book, meditating, writing in my ...

  • I Was Lucky My Grandmother Taught Me To Be A Healer

    I Was Lucky My Grandmother Taught Me To Be A Healer
    Mar 5 2026
    Imagine growing up in a world where energy was real, spirit was part of the conversation, and healing was something passed down through generations. That was my guest, Barbara Savin’s world. In this episode, Barbara shares the powerful influence of her two grandmothers and how they shaped the path she walks today. One was a natural healer. The other lived a life of service. Between the two of them, Barbara absorbed something rare – a deep knowing that life is more than what you can see. From Brooklyn to Spiritual Awakening Raised in Brooklyn, Barbara’s journey from highly sensitive child to certified hypnotherapist and spiritual life coach is layered, human, and surprisingly relatable. She didn’t just inherit mystical gifts. She had to wrestle with them. And that’s where it gets interesting. Barbara grew up in a time when anything spiritual was dismissed as “woo-woo.” Even with two spiritually attuned grandmothers, the outside world didn’t validate what she felt. Her own mother was skeptical and often dismissive of Barbara’s intuitive experiences, which created a deep inner conflict. Imagine being a sensitive child who feels everything and senses emotion in a room instantly, and then being told it’s not real. That tension stayed with her for years. She often felt caught between two worlds, the practical Brooklyn life around her and the invisible energetic world humming just beneath the surface. It wasn’t until her 30s, when her own health challenges brought her to a breaking point, that she stopped resisting what she already knew. Sometimes life nudges you. Sometimes it pushes. Her health crisis became a doorway. Returning to energy healing wasn’t just about improving her physical well-being. It required emotional, mental, and spiritual recalibration. She had to come home to herself. By reclaiming her intuitive gifts, she regained her health and stepped into her true purpose. And here’s the thing I love about Barbara’s story. It’s the unfolding of someone finally trusting what had always been there. Healing Amidst Trauma One of the most moving periods of her life came after 9/11. Her husband and son managed to escaped harm that day and the enormous relief and gratitude she felt pushed her into service. When invited to help with first responders she jumped at the chance. She worked in the Salvation Army tent on Staten Island, assisting first responders with their healing. Working with firefighters and others who were deeply traumatized changed her understanding of healing forever. Trauma doesn’t just live in the mind. It becomes embedded in the body and ripples through the nervous system. It lingers in the energy field and touches the spirit. You don’t just “get over” something like that. Healing trauma, she realized, is a return to safety on every level. Physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual. It requires presence and compassion, and simply can’t be rushed. Protect Your Energy Her work during that time cemented what she already sensed as a child. You are more than your physical body, and real healing must include the unseen layers of who you are. That brings us to something we both feel strongly about: protect your energy. Barbara credits her grandmother’s teachings about stepping into God’s light as foundational. It’s a simple but powerful image. You consciously surround yourself with light and set an intention that only love flows in and out. That’s a beautiful example of energetic hygiene. Just as you brush your teeth and care for your physical body, you must tend to your energetic well-being. Barbara emphasizes daily practices like meditation, gratitude, and clear boundaries. Her methods are grounded and practical. Part of this is to be discerning about who you spend time with. You can feel the difference between someone who lifts you and someone who drains you. Your body and your energy know. She encourages you to notice who feels expansive and who feels heavy? Maintaining healthy boundaries isn’t selfish. It’s emotionally intelligent and preserves your vitality. Positivity Secrets When I asked Barbara about her secrets to handling the decades with grace and vibrancy, her answer wasn’t complicated. Gratitude and meditation anchor her. Every morning she takes time to reflect on what she’s thankful for. Even during seasons of challenge, including her husband’s health battles, she returns to presence and appreciation. Gratitude, in her view, isn’t a forced positive attitude. Instead, its about alignment and it shifts your energy field. This is how you recalibrate your nervous system. A grateful heart reminds you that life is still offering gifts, even when circumstances feel uncertain. That practice keeps her light strong. Embrace Your Spiritual Path Barbara’s journey is ultimately about listening to the inner voice that refuses to go away. The one that whispers when something looks good on paper but feels wrong in your body. ...
