This episode dives into the September 21st Solar Eclipse in Virgo. With the Sun and Moon meeting in Gate 46 — the Gate of the Determination of the Self — this eclipse pulls us out of the mind and back into the body. It asks us to stop treating life like a burden to carry and start experiencing it as something alive in every step.

We’re standing at a culmination point, with the South Node close by, showing us the old Virgo habits that have to go — the over-functioning, the self-critique, the chase for perfection that drains joy. Mercury hosts the eclipse, sharpening communication both within and without, while Saturn’s opposition demands that what begins here is sustainable. Add Venus in Virgo squaring Uranus in Gemini, and the themes of devotion, disruption, and surprise are impossible to ignore.

This isn’t about reactivity. It’s about learning to respond from presence — to make choices rooted in the body instead of panic. And woven through it all is a reminder we rarely let ourselves claim: joy doesn’t have to be earned the hard way. Sometimes the easier path is the truer one.

I’ve been wanting to weave more shamanic insight into the podcast, and this episode is the first step. In a polarized, chaotic world where real spiritual support often feels thin, tending your inner life matters more than ever. When you show up from a more healed place, everyone benefits.

This week, I share the Celtic teaching of the Three Cauldrons from The Cauldron of Poesy: Coire Goiriath (Warming), Coire Ernmae (Motion), and Coire Sois (Wisdom). These aren’t chakras to “balance” but living vessels that can be full, tipped, or overturned. We’ll explore what each cauldron holds, their states at birth, and how sorrow and joy shape them over a lifetime.

You’ll also learn three simple ways to begin working with your own cauldrons — and I’ll share how I support people through this work in my 1:1 offering, Healing Through the Labyrinth.

The book I recommended in the episode is Rhonda McCrimmon's The Cauldron and the Drum: A Journey into Celtic Shamanism

This episode dives into the September 7th Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. With the Moon in Doubt opposite the Sun in Confusion, this eclipse isn’t here to hand us neat answers. It’s asking us to live inside the question — to notice where we grasp for certainty and instead lean into what we can feel, sense, and trust in our body.

We’re standing at a threshold moment where old cycles are dissolving and something new is quietly pressing through. The past and future overlap, endings blur into beginnings, and the usual rules of time feel thin. Collective patterns are shifting, the stories we tell are being disrupted, and the ways we relate to truth, power, and one another are being rewritten.

There’s also a tug-of-war between pushing forward just to prove something versus expanding in ways that actually nourish. The invitation? To let urgency fall away and choose growth that feels rooted, supportive, and real.

This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about letting the mystery do its work — and allowing a deeper pattern of meaning to slowly take shape.
