Hello and Welcome to Virgo Season 2025!

This season starts with a New Moon that supports being intentional and ritualistic around setting up new routines that nourish the physical body and build supportive habits as we shift into the intense energy of eclipses season and Pluto moving out of bounds. Virgo is about tending to the mundane detail in our life, getting organized, refining the details. We can use this season to organize our inbox, create new habits, update our calendars, examine our spending habits, edit our systems, clean out and clear out the junk drawer, and offer help and support to those around us who may need it.

August 22nd/23rd: New Moon in Virgo

August 26th: Pluto opposite Venus

August 29th: Pluto out of bounds

September 7th: Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

September 21st: Solar Eclipse in Virgo

Cancer Season Continued: Borders, Belonging & Broken Systems: The Unspoken Reasons for Immigration.

As we move through Cancer season, we hold our attention on the politics of home, country and family through the topic of immigration. In this episode, I talk with immigration lawyer Diana Moller to examine history, reasons for immigrating, economics, labor, and the abomination of for-profit detention centers. I weave in the Cancer archetype and in particular note the axis it shares with Capricorn.
