Episode 221: September Astrology Forecast 202402 Sep 202402:00:06

Hello beautiful souls and thank you for being here. I am a Western tropical astrologer and I use the whole sign house system. I use astrology as a liberatory tool. I believe we are in a critical time right now when collectively, we feel a sense of urgency to know who we are and align with our purpose. I hope to be your monthly guide to the cosmos and translator of the stars. We begin this episode by recapping August. It was a demure August, mercury was retrograde, the DNC began on the Full Moon in Aquarius, and the Leo placements were having a rough time. We then do a little forecasting for the month of September which continues with Virgo Season. We have two planets in dignity, Venus in Libra and Mercury in Virgo. I would take advantage of that until the last week of September. Mid-month, we officially find ourselves in eclipse season and when the sun ingresses in the sign of Libra, it's the Equinox! Saturn and all of the outer planets are retrograde, meaning that collectively, we are all going through a massive shift. Happy solar return to the Virgos and Libras!

Episode 220: August Astrology Forecast 202402 Aug 202400:57:30

Hello beautiful souls and thank you for being here. I am a Western tropical astrologer and I use the whole sign house system. I use astrology as a liberatory tool. I believe we are in a critical time right now when collectively, we feel a sense of urgency to know who we are and be in alignment with our purpose. I hope to be your monthly guide to the cosmos and translator of the stars. We begin this episode by recapping July, Trump assassination attempt! Joe Biden steps down and Kamala Harris is on the ticket! We then do a little forecasting for the month of August which continues with Leo Season. Mercury stations retrograde in the signs of Virgo & Leo and Virgo Season commences. I’m not going to lie, August is full of challenging aspects like the squares and oppositions but I believe challenging aspects are when our souls thrive because ultimately, our souls want to grow. With all of the planets in retrograde, we’re being asked to take a pause, reflect, and integrate everything that we’ve learned so far. Happy solar return to the Leo and Virgo babies!

Episode 211: Pluto in Aquarius - The Age of Revolution 24 Jan 202400:54:11
In this episode, I talk about the transition from Pluto in the sign of Capricorn into the sign of Aquarius. Astrology is the study of cycles and patterns, so the best way for us to predict what might happen when Pluto is in the sign of Aquarius is to look back at what happened the last time in our history when Pluto was in Aquarius. This time was known as the Age of Revolution because concurrent revolutions were happening all over the world. Some of the same themes are appearing today as Pluto moved into Aquarius on January 20th of this year.    Show Notes:

Episode 120: How To Apply The 12 Universal Laws To Live A More Aligned Life With Laura Chung03 Mar 202101:40:09
The law of attraction is just one of the 12 universal laws, and getting familiar with the other 11 can help us unlock a more spiritually aligned life. The law of attraction is about matching energetic frequencies to attract the things we desire into our experience. It is based on the idea that like attracts like, but you can also repel. Whatever you are focused on grows – be it good or bad, negative or positive. You might be asking yourself then why don't I have the thing? Or my person? Maybe you need to incorporate the other 11 Universal Laws. In this solo episode, Laura talks about each of the 12 Universal Laws in-depth with practical examples.

Episode 209: January Astrology Forecast 202431 Dec 202301:07:00
Happy New Year! In this episode, I go through the planetary transits of January 2024. Some major highlights are, Mercury goes direct and Pluto enters the sign of Aquarius. 2024 is going to be a transitional year when all the outer planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are finishing up their journeys before moving into new signs in 2025. Since the outer planets are collective, this is a shift in our collective consciousness. The North Node will still be in Aries, which signifies that the change begins with yourself. I hope you have a healthy, happy, and prosperous new year!    Full Show Notes: Connect with Awaken and Align:
