"The Friend" - A reminder of what truly matters in these challenging times Have you ever loved a dog so deeply that the relationship transformed you? If so, the film "The Friend" will speak directly to your heart. This beautiful movie follows the unlikely pairing of Iris (a writer who is decidedly NOT a dog person) and Apollo (an expressive Great Dane) - both grieving the su***de of Walter, who was Apollo's owner and Iris's mentor. Without asking permission, Walter left Apollo to Iris, who lives in a tiny Manhattan apartment where dogs aren't allowed. What unfolds is a tender exploration of how grief can be healed through unexpected connections. The film captures something profound about the impossibly short yet deeply meaningful time we share with our animal companions. During difficult times like these, we need to focus our attention on what opens our hearts and uplifts our spirits. This film reminded me of my own beloved dogs, Skugga and Bella, who both recently crossed the rainbow bridge. The grief is real, but so is the gratitude for having shared my life with these dear friends

Pisces New Moon: When fire meets water and creates steam Think about steam - that’s what happens when fire meets water, and right now, almost every planet in the sky is in one or the other. This is the first New Moon since eclipse season, arriving just 37 hours before Spring Equinox. The sky is at a threshold. At this New Moon, nearly all planets are gathered in either Pisces (the sign of the ocean, of dissolution) or Aries (the fire that breaks through and initiates). Through that charged atmosphere, this Pisces New Moon offers a reminder we need right now: the reality of our interdependence with each other and all creation. Uranus sextiles this New Moon exactly from Ta**us, illuminating something essential - when we harm others, we harm ourselves. This is not metaphor; this is law. Pisces is the sign of compassion, and many are feeling its full weight. We’re feeling the suffering of Iranian and Israeli peoples, all peoples drawn into conflict. We’re holding grief of soldiers and families caught in cycles of retaliation and loss. Pisces doesn’t look away and asks us not to either. Neptune is still on the Aries point - the very first degree of the zodiac, the degree of birth. New Moons are beginnings. This one asks us to hold faith - not the kind that looks away from suffering, but that can witness collapse of old structures and trust what’s coming through is more loving. Create a simple ritual: light a candle, reflect on what you choose to carry forward. Let grief be present. Let faith be present. ✨ What is this New Moon bringing up for you? Share below!

Understanding unconscious guilt and the healing power of pine 🌲 Have you ever noticed how some people just can’t seem to let themselves be happy? They finally get what they want, and then something in them sabotages it. It’s as if they can’t tolerate success or joy and always need to spoil it somehow. Self-sabotage is a symptom - much like fever - and it can have many causes. Today I want to focus on one that’s quite common: unconscious guilt. Some people who carry unconscious guilt feel deep down they don’t deserve happiness, goodness, or pleasure. These beliefs often take root in childhood, especially in families marked by loss, neglect, abuse, illness, or unhappiness. Children usually imagine whatever is wrong must be their fault. They grow up feeling responsible for everyone’s pain, believing their best is never good enough. As adults, they may even feel guilty for surviving or thriving when siblings have struggled. Conventional psychotherapy can help, but another lesser-known modality that can be profoundly healing is flower essences. These subtle infusions of blossoms in water (and a little brandy) were created by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s. They carry the flower’s vibrational imprint and can restore emotional and spiritual balance. My favorite essence for unconscious guilt is Pine. Pine helps those who irrationally blame themselves, apologize constantly, and feel unworthy of love - living with chronic remorse. This state often stems from early conditioning, feeling responsible for others’ distress or believing one’s best is never enough. Unlike pharmaceuticals that broadly treat depression or anxiety, flower essences address very specific emotional and spiritual states. Up to seven remedies can be combined in one bottle. Usual dosage: two drops on the tongue or in water, four times daily. Have you used flower essences? What’s been your experience? Ready to explore more healing modalities?

When aging becomes radiance (Saturn-Neptune at 0° Aries) On February 20th, Saturn and Neptune joined at 0° Aries - the very first degree of the zodiac, seeding a radical new cycle that archetypally signifies the union of spirit and matter. Philosopher and poet Mark Nepo recently published “The Fifth Season: Creativity in the Second Half of Life.” He likens aging to what happens when a meteor enters Earth’s atmosphere - as it descends, fragments of its physical substance burn away, flaking off. In that very process, it begins to shine more brilliantly. Our lives can unfold in much the same way. The body inevitably changes - softens, weakens, declines. This is Saturn: the reality of time, gravity, form. But as the outer structure sheds, the spirit can grow more luminous. This is Neptune: dissolving of fear, remembering our belonging to something vast and eternal. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction invites us to consciously honor this paradox - accept the body’s limits without resentment, release fear of aging, set intention to shine more brightly. As spiritual beings inhabiting human form, we experience time through aging bodies. What’s not inevitable but entirely possible is deepening wisdom, compassion, and radiance. What if aging isn’t diminishment but distillation? What if what burns away was never essential? Consider marking this conjunction with simple ritual: light a candle, write down a fear you’re ready to release, speak your intention to burn more brightly. ✨ What do these reflections stir in you?
