The sky just opened a door, and we’re inviting you to walk through it. Fresh off a forty‑day pilgrimage across Egypt, we unpack why this Venus‑in‑Libra stretch feels like a rare, gentle window to choose peace, refine routines, and make self‑love a devotional practice rather than a chore. With Pluto turning direct, the stuck places start to shift—quietly at first, then all at once—and we explore how to turn that subtle click into real movement in your relationships, money, home, and spiritual life.

We share the night we entered a temple under a star‑blown sky and how that dark chamber of healing became a map for inner work: leave the old self in the quiet, meet the waters for purification, and let sunrise seal the rebirth. No passport required—you can recreate the ritual at home with simple tools, a clear intention, and a vow to honor desire as a compass instead of a problem. Along the way, we offer practical ways to align with Libra’s harmony—better sleep, nourishing food, gentle movement, cleaner spaces, softer words—and a framework that favors devotion over discipline so consistency feels like care, not punishment.

This conversation threads astrology with everyday habits, weaving themes of balance, transformation, and the thin veil of the season. You’ll hear why small acts right now carry extra momentum, how to set daily, weekly, and monthly practices that actually fit, and how a single mantra—“I am open to receive”—can tilt your life toward love, abundance, and light. If you’re ready to step onto the peace timeline and become a true vessel for what you want, press play, take one brave step, and tell us what you’re dedicating to your future self. If this resonated, follow, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help our circle grow.

(01:07):
just want to say thank you toall the people who were my
hosts, friends, family, and eventhose who went on tour with us
through magical Egypt.
I really do love Egypt probablymore than any other place than
Orlando, Florida.

(01:28):
And it's it's it's incredibleto go there.
And I had the sheer joy andpleasure of being there for 40
days and 40 nights, and I got tosee the entire country pretty
much.
If you come down that Niletour, go to the Red Sea, all the

(01:51):
things.
And if that is something you'reinterested in ever doing with
me, the next um next time I'mgonna be doing that is February
of 2027.
So you have just over a year toum to have all the arrangements
taken care of.
So send me a message becausewe'll be getting that

(02:11):
information out this week, andit is a life-changing adventure.
Every single time I go toEgypt, I come home more, I come
home more remembered, moreawake, more just more.
All completely.
And um, I'm complete.

(02:33):
When I come home, I feel wholeand complete.
There's just not no other wayto describe it.
And at this time, um, this timeit was extra special.
It's always extra special.
There's been a lot of lessons,and one of those lessons really

(02:53):
is gonna move into the theme ofthis week.
October 13th, which is today,all the way through October
15th, there's a sweet spot wherea lot of things are shifting in
the sky.
We're in the sign of Libra,which is ruled by Venus.
Now, what's beautiful is Venusis moving into Libra, which

(03:20):
means it's a sweet spot.
Everybody loves a good Venustransit.
I love a good Venus transit,especially being a Taurus, but
everybody's gonna feel moreharmony.
This is that moment in timewhere you can jump on the peace
timeline, you can jump on theself-love timeline, you can jump

(03:44):
on your joy, your happiness,your love, your light.
And that's gonna be especiallythe next week.
We have about one more week ofthis lovely Libra energy.
And Libra is all about balance,harmony, finding, finding love,

(04:07):
light, joy in your heart, yourmind, your soul.
And I can feel the energy herecoming home today.
I can feel fall in the air, Ican feel um we've moved from the
equinox energy and into thatmagical season.

(04:27):
The veil is starting to thin,and that is going to be made
ever more clear as Pluto goesdirect over the next 24 hours,
and you'll it's a slow-movingtransit, so it you're gonna feel
it more in the next week.
So, as that happens, whatwhat's you're gonna feel like is

(04:50):
less stuck.
So, this this week, what areaare you focusing on to get less
stuck, to find more love, tofind more peace, to find more
harmony?
This is gonna be major themesthis week.
And if you want to dig in, thisis a good time for you to just

(05:16):
do a review.
What is working for you?
And Libra loves a good solidself-care routine.
So how can you how can you takebetter sleep?
How can you eat and take careof yourself a little bit better?

(05:37):
How can you get more exercise?
How can you pamper yourself?
Luxury, um, how do you findpeople who make you feel good?
This is this is a great week tospend time with people who make
you feel better about yourself.
And if you don't feel likebeing around anyone else, it's

(05:59):
also a good time to just uh takea mini retreat.
We're going with the moon hashas slid from full into a half
crescent.
It's like this um this verypowerful energy in the sky where
it's trying to help you let go.

(06:23):
We have moved into the healingchamber.
Venus also rules healing, Plutoalso is about transformation.
So, what are you healing?
What are you transforming?
What are you allowing to letgo?
Because we're getting reallyclose to that uh 21st will be

(06:43):
the next new moon, powerful newmoon, because um it's the Hindu
um new year, but also it's thenew moon right before Sawin.
And Sawan is when that veilthins, and the veil has thinned.
I I felt it about four daysago.

(07:04):
It was like Thursday night inCairo, and the moon was in the
sky, and I was just like, oh,oh, the veil thinned, the
ancestors are talking, theenergy is happening.
So if you're getting um, ifyou're getting messages from the
other side, if you're gettingmessages from gods, goddesses,

(07:29):
ascended masters, angels, ifyou're getting just intuitive
hits, this is what this seasonis about.
And so we come to this placewhere it might be time to set up
an ancestor altar.
It might be time to add agratitude list to your um

(07:51):
review.
What are you grateful for?
Look at how far you've come.
Uh I know I was just thinkingum before I got on this call,
um, I've lost 50 pounds in thelast year.
And and I want to go fartherwith that, but to just look at I

(08:12):
left 50 pounds behind, and I II left an entire bag of clothes
in Egypt because they werefalling off my body.
In fact, even this is a littleloose.
And so how far have you come?
What is the act of devotion anddedication?
And when I was traveling home,I was even more committed to a

(08:38):
walking practice, to um to someexercise, to commit to the even
deeper um food commitment that'sgoing to nourish my body.
What's gonna nourish me, bothmentally, physically,
spiritually?
What is it that is that nextlayer of devotion, uh,

(09:00):
dedication?
I'm I'm very big on devotionand dedication versus the word
discipline, not my favoriteword, because I always feel like
that double um meaning ofdiscipline, which is where
you're being punished.
And uh when it becomes an actof devotion, when it becomes
making your body the vessel forthe indwelling spirit, uh when

(09:24):
it it has to do with becomingone with yourself, one with your
goals, one with your light, onewith your purpose, then it's
devotion.
And when you just have to dosomething that maybe you've been
procrastinating on, maybe it'snot easy, maybe it's just
something you have to do.

(09:45):
Think of it as a dedication toyour future self.
We're all becoming that nextversion of us.
That's what this particularseason is.
This Pluto transit that'shappening right here, right now,
is the is the death and rebirthphase.
And I mean, especially as we'regonna get into Scorpio season.

(10:08):
So that's it's gonna take abouta week to really anchor in, and
then next week we're gonna bein Scorpio.
We're gonna have a new moon inScorpio right at the beginning
of Scorpio, so it doesn't umit's really powerful, it's
really intense.
And I should check, it might bea new moon in Libra.
Um, I'm speaking out of turnbecause that was next week and I

(10:30):
didn't do the research, butwe're going to have a new moon
on the 21st, and at some pointaround the 21st or 22nd, we're
gonna move into Scorpio.
About then is when Pluto isgoing to start feeling that
transformative energy.
So I think you're gonna reallyfeel the deepening of this

(10:53):
spiritual practice, everyone.
Everyone's going to be feelingit, and and the and the
invitation here is what do youwant to set up as your new daily
practice?
What do you want to set up asyour new daily, weekly, monthly
practices?
What are you going to dedicatetime for in your life?

(11:18):
Are you going to sit and becomea vessel of receiving?
Are you going to be the one whogoes out and um is in doing?
What is it you desire?
Desire is such a powerful word,and we don't give it enough
credit.
And my my hope for you is thatyou will actually sit in this

(11:50):
dark season.
We we are in the shadow season,the in-between.
We're in that liminal spacethat happens at this time of
year.
The veil is thin.
It's um it started with thatfull moon last week, and it will
go all the way into the middleof November and the 15 degree of

(12:14):
Scorpio, um, which is going tobe a very powerful energy.
This weekend, what will behappening is we'll be in a dark
moon phase, which will be likehaving a temple of healing.
When we were in Egypt, we wentin the darkest of nights into

(12:38):
the temple of Philae.
We could barely see, like theit was it was pitch black.
We're looking at our feet justby the illumination of the
stars.
It wasn't really um, it wasn'treally illuminated by the moon
at that point, it was just thestars and the Milky Way.
And we went all the way to theHoly of Holies.

(13:00):
Now, in Egypt, when you're whenyou're going to the Holy of
Holies, it's at the far back ofa temple.
It's the place where the leastamount of people have accessed.
And so think of the Holy ofHolies as your heart, think of
it as your mind, your innertemple, your place for your

(13:24):
indwelling spirit.
You are divine, you are thedivine incarnate.
And we went into this Holy ofHolies, and they it was a
private visit, and what we didwas we went in, and it was
literally a dark chamber ofhealing, and in that we left

(13:45):
behind that old version of us.
We moved through our deepest,darkest moment in the initiation
of being completely in the darkand allowing the light to fill

(14:07):
us, becoming the divine vesselfor the light.
And then as that changed, wemoved out onto the terrace
through the Hothor Temple andout onto the terrace to the
Nile, the purification of thewaters, the sun rose, and a new

(14:31):
day was born, a rebirth.
And so while I cannot takeevery one of you to Egypt, if
you are here in your heart, inyour mind this weekend before
the new moon on the 21st, it isthe perfect time to make that
moment happen.

(14:52):
And if you are here in Orlandoand would love to join us, we
have a a retreat that will havesome of those elements at Center
Street on the on the 20, onSaturday, the 25th, 25th, I

(15:13):
think.
I I'm still jet lagged.
I literally got off a plane acouple hours ago.
So um we'll put the link in thecomments.
But it is the Saturday um afternext.
We're doing the most beautifulretreat, beautiful food, breath
work, um, we'll do sound bowls,we will go through the elements

(15:34):
of that devotional process ofthat inner healing of chamber.
I brought back some new oilsfrom Egypt.
So we'll of course we're gonnahave an Egyptian oil anointing,
and we're going to celebratethat season.
So if that's something you'reinterested in, there is only a
limited amount of space and it'salready partially full.

(15:57):
So please sign up for that ifthat's something you're um
wanting to share with us.
I would love you to be there.
It is going to be very special.
I'm sure all of you know, Sawinis one of my favorite holidays.
I usually do something calledWitchy Weekend, and I didn't do

(16:19):
it this year because of umbecause I just got back from six
weeks in Egypt.
And so we'll we'll be doingjust a one-day retreat at Center
Street on Saturday, and it willbe filled with all the things
you know and love about myretreat, and as what happens

(16:43):
every time we go to CenterStreet, it will sell out.
So get your tickets really soonif this is something you want
to do.
It's very affordable a wholeday, including lunch, um, from
the 10 o'clock in the morning to4 o'clock.
We have a guest, guest teacher.
It's gonna be incredible.
And we have helicopters.
I just wanted to be outsideafter being on the plane.

(17:06):
Um, it was like a 30-hour umtravel time by the time we left,
left where we were, went to theairport, flew to Dubai, had a
layover, and then a really longflight here.
Worth every second of it.
And and that's that's anothertheme here, is whatever you want

(17:33):
to do, it's worth overdoing.
It's worth really going all theway.
There is there is somethingabout a pilgrimage, there is
something about making theeffort to meet your desires and
to bring that into play.

(17:53):
So whatever it is that you'retrying to do, it's worth making
a little effort.
And and that's one of thethemes that's happening right
now.
Really show the algorithm oflife that you're willing to make
the devotional practice, you'rewilling to take that next
forward step.

(18:14):
My knee locked up while I wasin Egypt, um, hadn't had been
feeling perfect all the way.
We I got all the way to the topof the pyramid, um, to the
king's chamber, no problem.
But um a couple of days afterthat I had a little um little
locking of my knee.
And so I started going throughwhat is the move that I'm not

(18:38):
making?
And sure enough, there was anenergy that I cleared from my
body, and that was the nextspiritual step, which everything
comes back to devotion for meright now.
And so, what is your nextspiritual step?
And how are you going to make adifference in your own life?

(19:03):
This is the this and thisbeautiful energy, it's a really
beautiful transit.
I think you guys are gonna likethe next couple of weeks.
It's magic.
This is tis the season of thewitch, tis the season of the
veil is thin.
It's a beautiful astrologicaluh map over the next couple of

(19:24):
weeks, and it's it's a lotlighter than it was during
eclipse season, and I feel likeyou're gonna see that forward
momentum, and a little bit ofgood news: 2026 is a lot better
astrologically than 2025.
So start feeling this um thismomentum.

(19:44):
Now is when we start gettingmomentum, and any little step
you take right now is going tohelp you with that.
So, all in all, I know there'sso many more things that I want
to say, but um because ofbecause of of travel, I this is

(20:06):
this is all I have for today.
I I'm probably just gonna makeanother couple videos over the
next few days and roll somethings out that I wanted to
share.
But number one, really leaninto all the things that have to
do with Venus.

(20:27):
Venus, ruling love, money,home, um, and peace.
Peace, love, harmony, and lastbut not least, devotion.
If you're looking for aromantic weekend, this is a
great weekend for it.
Um, because of that transitwhere Venus is going to finally

(20:50):
be um in one of her signs, whichis Libra.
So it could be romantic love,but more importantly, and you
know this is always going to betrue in my world, self-love.
And self-love is an act ofdevotion to the divine.
And and if I can't um reiteratethat more, self-love is a

(21:16):
devotion to the divine withinyou, the god or goddess that
lives within you.
So if you feel selfish takingcare of yourself, if you feel
selfish taking time foryourself, reframe that to you
are no good to anyone if you arenot taking care of yourself.

(21:37):
And so I want to leave you witha little mantra, a little idea.
I crack myself open, I release,I release all the things
holding me back from receiving,including control and especially
I leave behind lack.
And from there, I am open toreceive.

(22:00):
I am a vessel to receive love,joy, money, abundance, and
light.
And with all of that, I sendyou love.
I send you activation for yourlove and peace timeline.

(22:22):
And I'll see you again nextweek.
Live magically.
