Friend, mentor and sister astrologer Emily Trinkaus and I had a lively conversation about the astrological alignments of the moment on The Natural Wisdom Podcast.

This month, February, brings us the most significant planetary combination since 2020: the conjunction of Saturn (reality, structure) and Neptune (dreams, dissolution). The transition from Piscean energy to that of Aries feels, at the moment, like the “end of the end” prior to emergence of the new.

We offered our best advice on how to navigate these times gracefully:

* The rebirth we are undergoing at the moment is happening in three phases;

* We are undergoing a sea change around how we understand and wield our personal power;

* How you invest your life force has immense implications for the long term, both for you and for all of us;

* Mercury’s retrograde in Pisces, which last happened in March of 2020, supports us to listen more deeply to our intuition rather than try to figure out what’s going on;

* The Aquarius Solar Eclipse and the Virgo Total Lunar Eclipse, and the final months of the Lunar Nodes in Pisces and Virgo remind us to own our selves and our bodies; stay tuned in to the here and now while also envisioning the future we want to see.

Emily is leading a six week workshop series on aspects in astrology, beginning on February 20.

Kristine is offering a free workshop on Saturn as your spiritual ally and truth-teller of your soul next Friday, February 13th.

Let us know how it’s going in the comments!

I had the pleasure of talking with psychotherapist, Family Constellation facilitator, and quantum astrologer Tammy Roth on The Natural Wisdom Podcast today, just hours ahead of the Gemini Full Moon. I got to know Tammy and her work through a quantum astrology course she and Emily Trinkaus offered earlier this fall, and gained a whole new way to access and understand the planetary energies.

In our conversation, Tammy shared her wisdom and experience accessing the “knowing field” to help people, covering topics such as these:

* What does “quantum” mean and what is quantum astrology?

* How a 12-step recovery program gave her insight into true healing;

* Saturn and Pluto are never being mean;

* The energies of the cosmos are waiting to be invited in through your attention;

* The more you trust your intuitive knowing, the more it comes through;

* As these new inner technologies come more online, we need places and communities where we can practice.

Tammy referenced Barbara Hand Clow’s book “Alchemy of Nine Dimensions” as a useful reference for understanding 3D, 4D, 5D and beyond.

Tammy Roth, PhD is a holistic psychotherapist whose current quantum astrology coaching emerged at the crossroads of Family Constellation healing and the celestial intelligence of astrology. What began as a simple curiosity became a living pathway: a practice where ancestral patterns, cosmic codes, and embodied presence weave together to activate transformation.

A native of Nashville, Tennessee, Tammy now makes her home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia, where the land itself informs her work and continues to call her into ever-evolving layers of remembrance.

Emily joined me today for another episode of Cosmic Wisdom. We addressed the very busy week ahead as well as the longer term outlook of the next several months. A number of themes emerged from our conversation, including these gifts of the cosmic forces:

* We have the power to liberate our minds from the programming and entrainment so prevalent right now;

* We are in a concentrated period of endings in preparation for the new beginnings coming in 2026;

* We are supported to heal old childhood stories and ways in which we haven’t claimed our right (and duty) to be fully ourselves;

* The return of Uranus to Taurus plus Saturn and Neptune to Pisces reminds us of the spiritual dimension to the material realm;

* The number of planets in water signs encourages us to feel deeply, and use the power of our emotions consciously in service to what we desire.

Emily has a cool program coming in the new year to support people in their Saturn returns; make sure to join her mailing list to hear all about it.
