#378-"Trust the Path that Takes You to the Edge"--Week of August 17, 2026
Inside the Eclipse Portal We are between eclipses. Inside the portal. The total solar eclipse of August 12 has seeded its arc. The companion lunar eclipse in Pisces arrives August 27. Between these two thresholds, in the compressed heightened field that eclipse seasons create, we are living this week. Three personal planets activate simultaneously on Monday, the instinctual body, the creative…
#377-"We are the Miraculous, the True Wonder of this World"--Week of August 10, 2026
A Collective Initiatory Threshold This week carries one of the most significant astrological events of the year. A total solar eclipse at 20 degrees of Leo. Rather than walking the week strictly in date sequence, we move through the eclipse as the gravitational center, with the supporting cycles named as what prepares the field before it and integrates what it seeds after. This is not primarily a…
#376-"To Loving What Feels Impossible to Love"-Week of August 3, 2026
A Compassionate Return After last week's culmination, the Full Moon activating all three great cycles, the nodal shift, Lammas marking the first harvest, this week offers a more interior quality. Three personal planets on the move. A significant healing threshold turning inward. And the week ahead already gathering its own considerable activation. But first, this week. Which is asking something…
#375-"And Dwell Uniquely Between the Heart and the Light"-Week of July 27, 2026
First Harvest at the Threshold We have been building toward this week for a month. Three great cycles named and tracked. Jupiter weaving through all three. The Sun following. This week they culminate, not in abstract outer planet contacts alone, but in the most personal luminaries available. The Sun and Moon activating all three great cycles simultaneously at Wednesday's Full Moon . And at the end…
#374-"Look for the True Shape of Our Own Self"-Week of July 20, 2026
The Long Cycles Converge Last week we named three great cycles being activated simultaneously. This week Jupiter weaves through all three in rapid succession — bringing what is large and transpersonal into the realm of the humanly meaningful. Into story, culture, and the conversations where collective transformation actually takes root. This week also carries a transit that deserves its own moment…
#373-"Continue to Dare to Love Deeply, and Risk Everything for the Good Thing"-Week of July 13, 2026
The Long Cycles Become Visible Something unusual is happening in the sky this month. Not just the weekly transits. Something larger. A convergence of long cycles that rarely become visible all at once — briefly illuminated in ways that allow us to feel their presence and direction. This week I am taking more time than usual to orient you in that larger field before walking the specific transits.…
#372-"Pause to Take in the Miracle of What is Here"--Week of July 6, 2026
What the Interior Field Is Asking I am back. Five weeks of pilgrimage in Bhutan, Nepal, and India. I am returning without full knowledge of what has shifted in the collective while I was away, trusting that you have been holding your own orientation through whatever has unfolded. What I can offer, as always, is the larger archetypal field and the longer view. It is good to be back in this…
#371-"What if There is No Need to Change?"--Week of June 29, 2026
A brief note. These episodes are prerecorded during a five-week period away. I am not tracking current events in real time. Hold what I offer here alongside what you are actually living. This is the last episode in this batch — I will be back in real time with you for episode #372. Feel First, Then Offer This is not a quiet week. Two major planetary shifts land on the same day. Mercury turns…
#370-"As if Joy Weren’t Strewn All Around"-Week of June 22, 2026
A brief note. These episodes are prerecorded during a five-week period away. I am not tracking current events in real time. Hold what I offer here alongside what you are actually living. Tend What Is Real We are in the first full week of Cancer season. The Solstice has turned. The light is beginning its slow arc back toward darkness, not as loss, but as the natural rhythm of a living world that…
#369-"I Am the Wisdom of Millennia"--Week of June 15, 2026
A brief note. These episodes are prerecorded during a five-week period away. I am not tracking current events in real time. Hold what I offer here alongside what you are actually living. -- The Wound Beneath Many Wounds This is a week of significant arrivals. Venus in Leo moves through a rapid sequence of major contacts. Chiron crosses into Taurus, beginning nearly eight years of healing work in…
