Holding On To What Never Changes
Nature always inspires deep thoughts in me. There’s something about pausing to watch the wind rustle through the trees or to see the sun gently filter through the clouds that invites stillness and reflection.
Today, I found myself contemplating the constantly changing seasons. In the Northern Hemisphere, we are a month away from the summer solstice, and the days are becoming increasingly long and warm with golden light. The trees are lush and full, the air hums with the sound of insects, and gardens overflow with life.
Change is everywhere. It’s evident in the ripening of fruit, the intense afternoon heat, and the subtle shift in the season’s energy toward harvest.
It’s not just nature, either. Our lives are constantly evolving, too. Relationships shift, careers transition, health fluctuates, and dreams reshape themselves over time.
No matter where we turn, we hear messages such as “Change is inevitable,” and “Don’t be afraid of change.”
Yes, change is necessary. As spiritual beings, we are meant to continually grow and evolve. Change challenges us, stretches us, and teaches us.
But let’s be honest — sometimes it’s also deeply unsettling. This is especially true in times like these, when the world feels uncertain, divided, and fragile.
Astrology Forecast May 26 — June 1, 2025
The week begins with a burst of celestial energy as a powerful New Moon in Gemini rises early Monday morning, offering a rare and brilliant opportunity for a fresh start.
With the Sun and Moon aligned in Gemini today, we are encouraged to open our minds to new ideas, start fresh conversations, and set clear intentions for what we want in our lives.
Today and tomorrow are ideal days for envisioning the future and planting seeds that will grow over the coming weeks. Gemini rules thought, communication, and learning. When its influence is strong, as it is now, mental clarity and inspiration abound.
Early today, the Moon conjoins Uranus in Taurus. This can bring sudden shifts in mood or perspective, such as a surprising insight, a change of plans, or an emotional awakening that pushes you out of your routine.
Shortly after, the Moon forms a harmonious sextile with Saturn in Aries, providing grounding and focus to any wild inspiration. If you feel called to take responsibility for a new direction, this aspect provides the discipline necessary to get started.
As the day progresses, the Moon meets up with Mercury in Gemini. This connection is mentally stimulating, and conversations will be quick, clever, and possibly significant. Any thoughts that were just below the surface earlier in the day can now be expressed clearly. Since Mercury is in its element in Gemini, the power of language is especially potent—what you say today may echo far into the future.
Everything You Need To Know About Soulmate Connections
Who is my soulmate?” It’s a question I often hear during psychic readings. Clients want to know if their current partner is “the one,” or when their soulmate will arrive.
Some people start relationships convinced they’ve met their soulmate, only to watch their supposed “forever love” walk away with someone else. Puzzled, they contact me, asking, “How could this happen if two souls were meant to be together?”
Too many people are left heartbroken and confused when a well-meaning relative or friend, or a misguided psychic lacking spiritual integrity, encourages or assures them that this person is definitely “the one.”
Wrongly believing that a love connection is fated can make the subsequent loss even more painful. Just because a connection feels intense or special doesn’t mean it’s destined to last forever. True soul connections serve a purpose, but that purpose isn’t always love, romance, or lifelong companionship.
Unscrupulous readers and people with poor judgment often misread situations and create false hope, causing lovestruck individuals to cling to relationships that were never meant to last—or even exist, for that matter.
So, what exactly is a soulmate? Spiritually speaking, a soulmate is someone with whom you share a profound pre-birth or past-life connection, or both. These people show up in our lives to help us evolve spiritually, often reestablishing old relationships for the purpose of healing and transformation.
April Showers Bring May, And June Flowers!
The old saying, “April showers bring May flowers,” reminds us that difficult periods can lead to growth and beauty.
For many, April this year truly felt like an emotional downpour, both internally and externally. It was a time of letting go and confronting old wounds or patterns that no longer served a purpose.
While the skies may not have cleared overnight, we are now entering a new chapter. As we move through late May and look ahead to June, a powerful shift is underway—one that brings hope, clarity, and blooming potential.
April is dominated by Aries season and the intensity of its fiery energy. Ruled by Mars, Aries tends to stir things up, fueling restlessness, frustration, and even conflict. This year, many of us felt an even stronger inner drive than usual to move forward, yet we also encountered lingering emotional blocks or unusual external resistance. For many, it was a month of both internal and external battles where old stories resurfaced to be healed or released.
Taurus season followed, overlapping the end of April and the first few weeks of May. Its slower, earthbound rhythm helped us begin to stabilize — but not without first confronting the emotional residue left behind.
Taurus energy urged us to get grounded, reconnect with our values, and take things one step at a time. This helped to soothe some of the turbulence, but it also highlighted areas of life in which we have been too rigid, stuck, or overly attached to our comfort zones.
When Walking Away Is A Sacred Act of Love
One of the most life-changing truths we come to face on the spiritual path is this: not everyone is meant to walk with us all the way.
As we awaken and align more closely with our authentic self, some relationships begin to fall away. While it’s natural to resist this because endings hurt and change can feel like loss, there is a quiet, sacred truth beneath it all: Letting go is often an act of love.
As your soul expands, you begin to see your relationships differently. They are no longer just emotional bonds or physical connections; they reveal themselves as soul contracts—agreements made on a spiritual level before you ever met people in the physical realm.
Some people come into your life to uplift you, to love you, and to walk beside you for the long haul. Others arrive to teach you about boundaries, self-worth, and discernment. Once their role is complete, the relationship may start to feel heavy, strained, or even harmful. This isn’t failure; it’s a sign that the contract has been fulfilled.
Yet, this part of the journey is rarely discussed. In spiritual circles, we often hear messages about unconditional love, compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance. These are indeed sacred spiritual principles. But we rarely hear the equally sacred teaching that sometimes the most loving thing you can do is walk away!
Letting go of a toxic or misaligned relationship is not abandonment or selfishness. It’s not also not a sign of weakness, cowardice, or a lack of spiritual depth. In fact, it often requires more courage and clarity than staying.
Embracing The Shadow Within
When I first began to intentionally and consciously walk a spiritual path, I remember doing so because it just felt so right. Every step I took toward ‘enlightenment’ in this lifetime seemed to bring more brightness into my life, and so many more blessings.
In those early days I was really rolling! I was expecting this to be an easy ride – all joy and light and love. It was wonderful.
What I hadn’t expected was the inevitable emergence of my shadow through as a result of all my spiritual work. And it was not something I was going to be comfortable with – admitting I had places of darkness within me, unloved aspects of myself, disowned pieces of my soul which had been abandoned and in such pain.
Through a series of, what seemed like, unfortunate events, I was given opportunities to face my shadow side. Challenges in relationships with friends and loved ones arose. I couldn’t understand it at first, and felt very alone and misunderstood. I was shifting the blame for this onto the people around me, instead of going inward.
Going inward, into the light, was totally okay, but going inward into the darkness was terrifying. My ego-self raised every defense to keep me from going there. Eventually, I could avoid it no longer.
My life at this point had endured tremendous change in the course of only a few years- so much so, that the entire landscape of my existence and the people in it were now different. While many of the changes were positive, the magnitude of the differences between my ‘old life’ and my ‘new life’ forced me into robust self-reflection.
How Mudras Connect Mind, Body and Soul
Have you ever wondered why some people hold their fingers in unusual positions while meditating?
These sacred hand gestures, known as mudras, are not just meant to “look cool” — they are a powerful energetic practice rooted in ancient spiritual traditions. They are intentional postures designed to channel energy, focus the mind, and deepen spiritual connection.
Mudras are an integral part of many spiritual lineages, most notably Kundalini Yoga – an energetic healing science that dates back thousands of years – as well as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, classical Indian dance, and yogic disciplines.
Its origins can be traced back to the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism, where mudras were used in rituals to invoke divine blessings and spiritual power.
Over the centuries, these gestures have evolved into essential tools within yoga, tantra, and meditation practices. Their purpose: to help the practitioner direct subtle energies, sharpen awareness, and align with a higher consciousness.
In Sanskrit, mudra means “seal,” “sign,” or “gesture.” Far from mere physical postures, these gestures connect body, mind, and spirit, forming an energetic circuit that speaks directly to our auric field. Each mudra is a subtle energetic signal – each finger position resonating with specific astrological influences, emotional states, and elemental energies.
While some mudras involve the entire body, most are performed with the hands and fingers. Their effects are both profound and practical, enhancing spiritual practice, supporting healing, and facilitating the flow of life-force energy (prana or chi) through the body.
