Saggitairus Full Moon 6/11/25

The Full Moon in Sagittarius arrives like a spark to dry tinder, forming a potent Grand Trine with Mars in Leo and Chiron in Aries. This is no ordinary lunation—it’s a cosmic ignition of courage, creativity, and deep personal healing. The energy is bold, electric, and full of potential. But power, by itself, is neutral. It’s intention that determines whether it becomes destructive or transformative. This moment calls for heart-led leadership, fueled by integrity and purpose. True heroes aren’t driven by ego, but by vision. They remind us that real change begins within—and when we rise with clarity and conviction, we light the way for others to do the same.

The Space Between

Change is one of life’s only constants, and often one of its most disorienting. Whether we choose it or it chooses us, change throws us into a vulnerable space between identities, a raw and uncertain in-between. In this piece, we explore the human tendency to reach for spiritual bypassing—using spiritual language or practices to avoid discomfort and contrast it with the deeper, steadier work of real mindfulness. True healing doesn’t come from escaping the storm, but from walking through it with eyes open and heart intact. This is a call back to honest presence, embodied awareness, and the quiet power of staying with what’s real.

As we close out a fiery, chaotic season, this Taurus New Moon invites us to pause, breathe, and return to what is real. With Mars and Pluto squaring this lunation, we’re called to confront deep tensions — but Taurus offers a steadying balm. Not as escape, but as remembrance.

Ethical Persuasion vs. Propaganda

In coaching and wellness, persuasion is powerful—but can easily slip into propaganda. Ethical persuasion informs and empowers; propaganda manipulates. As belief systems go viral, especially at the intersection of wellness and politics, it's vital to lead with integrity, nuance, and critical thinking. Let’s keep it REAL—in practice and in truth.

Pisces New Moon 2/27/25

The atmosphere is thick with transformation. Whether or not you follow astrology, the shifts are undeniable—change is messy, disruptive, and often uncomfortable. But transformation demands awareness. We can’t change what we refuse to see. History shows us that great upheavals push humanity forward, forcing us to adapt, innovate, and awaken.

Right now, we stand at a critical choice point. Truth has a way of piercing illusions, and in times like these, clarity is both a challenge and a gift. The real question isn’t if change is happening—it’s how we choose to meet it.

Let that truth lead the way.

The Dress, The Mind, and The Truth

Our perceptions shape our reality, but what if they aren’t as reliable as we think? This post dives into the illusion of belief, using The Dress meme as a powerful metaphor for how our minds interpret the world. Just like color isn’t inherent to objects, our beliefs aren’t fixed truths—they’re shaped by experiences, biases, and expectations. Exploring cognitive science, predictive processing, and scientific research on belief and change, this piece challenges us to question why and how we believe, opening the door to growth and transformation.

Leo Full Moon 2/12/25

This Full Moon in Leo highlights the power and responsibility of freedom, a theme that will define this year. True freedom is not self-serving but rooted in wisdom, service, and truth. When driven by ego, it fosters entitlement and greed, yet when anchored in collective responsibility, it becomes a force for advocacy and change. Freedom without wisdom creates chaos, and hope without action fades into illusion, but when we align both with responsibility, we forge something lasting. The world is shifting, but we are not powerless—we are the authors of what comes next.

What Really Makes Us Happy?

I spend a lot of time exposing the shadows of the wellness and New Age industry—helping others recognize what to be on guard for. It’s easy, in those moments, to want to toss the entire thing out—to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Believe me, I’ve been there. Disillusionment does that to a person.

But seeing through the illusion is a good thing. It brings clarity. It allows us to separate what doesn’t serve from what truly does. And in my purpose of helping others, that distinction is essential.

What follows is some of what does work—what is truly helpful.

You know less than you think you do

We humans greatly overestimate how much we actually know. This cognitive bias, known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, reveals that those with the least knowledge often feel the most certain. A few articles or videos can make us feel like experts, yet true expertise requires deep study, self-doubt, and an awareness of complexity. The consequences? Misinformation spreads, conspiracy theories thrive, and we become susceptible to false certainty.

Maybe REAL wisdom isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about recognizing how much you don’t know.

This year began with intensity—natural disasters, power struggles, and systemic shifts. Pluto’s transition into Aquarius brings dismantling before rebuilding, exposing shadows to reveal the light. For the first time since 1778, Pluto in Aquarius ushers in a profound era of truth, accountability, and innovation.

Aquarius energy is like lightning—illuminating and disruptive, sparking transformation while revealing what must end for growth to begin.

The question remains: will we evolve or repeat?

The Many Faces of Truth

Truth is not always straightforward—it’s shaped by perspective, culture, and experience. From relative truth to technical truth and personal truth, each type serves a unique purpose. Other truths, like moral, historical, spiritual, and social, help us navigate life’s complexities. Clashes between truths often create conflict, but by clarifying the type of truth at play, we can foster understanding, reduce division, and build empathy, turning truth into a journey of connection and exploration in a complex world.
