Podcasts about your spouse

Today, we begin by catching up on major global events. Due to requests, we discuss the devastating disaster in Nepal and the passing of our beloved Dolly Parton. Both stories reflect themes that feel especially connected to Ketu. With Sun, Mercury, and Ketu in Magha (governed by Ketu), it truly demonstrates loss, separation, and impermanence. ***At 26:31 I mention that this period can be a time of loss due to Sun, Ketu, and Mercury being in a Ketu ruled nakshatra. I meant to say MAGHA instead of Mula (: From there, we take a deeper look at Ketu. Ketu is associated with detachment, moksha, liberation, intuition, spiritual insight, and past life karma. Its placement in the birth chart can reveal where we possess awareness and familiarity, but may also experience disconnection, discontentment, or a desire to transcend worldly matters.We also explore Ketu in transit. Ketu transits can often coincide with abrupt separations, accidents, confusion, and unsettling experiences.... but also deepen perception, nostalgia, and the return of people, memories, or unresolved matters from the past.Finally, we discuss Ketu in synastry, including my personal favorite Venus/Ketu connections. These relationships can feel immediately familiar, comforting, and profoundly karmic.

In this episode, we explore the upcoming lunar eclipse in Shatabhisha - the nakshatra associated with the hundred healers. With the Moon joining Rahu, this eclipse directs our attention toward the future. This can encourage progression, innovation, and deep change. Shatabhisha can illuminate themes of collective healing, social causes, and people coming together... This can be in our personal lives OR collectively. Similarly, friendships or group dynamics may be changing. Along the Aquarius/Leo axis, we may also witness a growing tension between the needs of the collective and the influence of leaders, dynasties, and established systems of power.The Sun's conjunction with Ketu may bring up karmic themes related to leadership, visibility, and authority. On a personal level, this can reveal karmas connected to the father, our relationship with recognition, and the way accept our own power.Although Venus remains debilitated, Chitra offers tremendous creative potential. This can be utilized as a time to refine our vision and bring greater beauty and intention into what we are building... Particularly in regard to relationship! We also discuss Mars in Ardra. This is one of the many factors contributing to intense weather and storms.Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

Today we pull from an extra special oracle deck gifted to by a long time friend and well wisher. The conclusion of the spread is leaning into groundedness, perseverance and vitality despite external turbulence or storms. We speak about how the eclipse can rock energy and strategies for staying steady and resilient. I wanted to note after recording, the person who gifted me this deck IS A ROHINI/TAURUS rising. Magic is real and I wanted to share it. Additionally, we do a brief cover of the Lindsey Clancy case followed by horoscopes for all 12 zodiac signs. Horoscopes: Aries: 24:30Taurus: 26:11Gemini: 27:51Cancer: 29:34Leo: 31:06 - I think I mentioned this - but there can be a lot of karmic themes involving RELATIONSHIPS. Virgo: 32:59Libra: 35:48Scorpio: 37:53Sagittarius: 39:18Capricorn: 41:51Aquarius: 43:43Pisces: 45:50Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

Today we discuss the main astrological events taking place in August 2026 with an emphasis on the upcoming eclipse in Cancer. We spend time assessing Cancer and the nakshatra of Ashlesha - the nakshatra governed by the Nagas and its connection to intuition, perception, and the weaving together of the intellectual and intuitive mind. Ashlesha is extremely mystical, setting some of us up for a very enlightening month.With this eclipse occurring in Cancer, themes of vulnerability, emotional security, and belonging come to the surface. Cancer reminds us that vulnerability can either strengthen or disrupt our sense of safety, depending on how we respond to what we discover about ourselves or others.We also discuss Venus moving through its sign of debilitation, Mars in Gemini, and the growing emphasis on health and wellness throughout the month. Eclipse season often brings fated events, karmic reckonings, and unexpected changes... And also, blessings, awakenings, and inspiration!Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

You guys asked some tough questions and...we answered. We talk about criticism we've received online that actually helped us grow, our thoughts on nicotine pouches (Zyn), and why we believe anything that controls us deserves an honest look. We also share vulnerable moments from our marriage, including decisions we regret, lessons we've learned, and how God has faithfully met us through every season. We dive into navigating family boundaries after marriage, handling conflict with grace instead of pride, and why protecting your marriage while still honoring your family is so important. We also have an honest conversation about how having a baby changes marriage, intimacy, and priorities—and the practical ways we've tried to keep our relationship healthy while raising Duke. Our hope is that this episode encourages you to pursue humility, healthy communication, and to remember that God can bring healing, growth, and joy even through uncomfortable conversations. ‼️Check out my collab with Ponyflo‼️ Visit https: ⁠ponyflohats.com⁠ and use code JEANINE for 15% off!!

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Latter-day Saints rank near the top when it comes to marrying within their faith — right behind Hindus and evangelicals.

In this podcast, we talk about Guru Purnima and the relationship between the guru and the soul. Guru Purnima occurs every year... but THIS YEAR, Jupiter will be in the exact degree as the Sun. For some, there can be spiritual confusion. However, it can also be time of profound insight and awakening. This is a powerful time to honor our teachers, connect with the guru within, and reflect on the wisdom guiding our path.We also discuss Saturn retrograde and how this transit may take us on spiritual journeys, deepen our spiritual practice, and bring awareness to our commitments. Saturn may also bring karmic lessons to the surface... Not to punish us, but to help us gain the wisdom and maturity needed to move forward.Mars in Gemini creates intensity around travel, communication, media, and the United States. As we move toward eclipse season, things may feel increasingly unpredictable. Eclipse energy can rock the boat for world leaders while highlighting themes connected to the homeland, security, and national identity.Finally, we talk about Venus debilitated in Virgo while receiving the influence of both Saturn and Mars. This can create intensity around love, relationships, finances, creativity, and self-worth. Venus in Virgo may become perfectionistic, critical, or overly focused on what needs to be fixed. However, we can lean into the positive qualities of this transit by practicing discernment, tending carefully to what we love, and using our awareness to create meaningful healing.Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about the invisible weight carried by the people behind the badge — the spouses, the children, and the families who hold everything together while the first responder is on shift, recovering from shift, or mentally still on shift even when they are physically home. This episode is not about blame. It is about visibility. Because the mental load that first responder families carry is real, it is significant, and in most households it goes completely unacknowledged — not because the first responder does not care, but because the nature of the job makes it genuinely difficult to see what is happening on the other side of the front door.

Hi everyone, Today we spend some time discussing the concepts of Puruṣa, Prakṛti, and Avidyā. These are three foundational teachings that help us better understand our true nature, the material world, and the causes of human suffering - according to Sanātana Dharma. As we deepen our awareness of these principles, we can cultivate a more conscious relationship with our thoughts, emotions, and experiences.For the philosophers: The concept of Avidyā is clearly described in the Yoga Sutras. Puruṣa and Prakṛti are articulated in Sāṃkhya philosophy (though have roots well beyond such as in the Rig Veda and Upanishads). To my knowledge.We also review some key upcoming transits: Final Vortex before Eclipse SeasonMercury Direct: July 23rdOuter planet line up: Now through July 29th Guru Purnima: July 29thChristine Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast  

The waiting season can feel long and lonely for Christian singles. You've prayed, stayed pure, served faithfully, and still no spouse in sight. If you're wondering what to do while waiting on your future husband or wife, this article offers five practical, Scripture-based steps to help you thrive instead of just survive. God's timing is perfect, even when it doesn't feel like it. Here's how to make the most of your singleness season. 1.

In this episode, we explore the major transits of JULY, which there are many!We spend time reviewing Venus conjunct Ketu in Leo. This is a transit that can bring old relationship patterns, memories, and karmic dynamics back into awareness. It can also generate creative expression, poetic insight, a deepening of spiritual practice, love of solitude, and self-reflection in regard to matters of the heart. We also discuss Mercury retrograde and the New Moon in Punarvasu, one of the most restorative and hopeful nakshatras. The upcoming new moon is truly a beautiful time to consider what needs revision, restoration, nourishment, or forgiveness. Saturn retrogrades this month as well - inviting us to take an honest look at our commitments, habits, responsibilities, and long-term goals. This is a time to strengthen our foundation through discipline, humility, accountability, and intentional effort rather than seeking quick results.We also explore the Full Moon in Capricorn and why it may highlight themes surrounding home, housing, homeland security, government, and emotional wellbeing. As new information comes to light, it is possible that an important turning point can shift the direction of both personal and global events.Finally, we discuss the conclusion of Kala Sarpa Yoga and the energetic shift that may accompany its completion.Characteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast 

Motherhood changes everything—including your marriage.In this first episode of my summor of mentorship series, I'm sharing the conversation I wish someone had invited me into years ago. If we were sitting across from each other with a cup of coffee, these are the things I'd want every mom to know.Parenting is one of the greatest blessings, but it can also become one of the biggest stress tests on a marriage. The shift from dating and dreaming together to managing schedules, diapers, sports, meals, and endless logistics can leave even the healthiest couples feeling disconnected.The good news? You're not alone, and your marriage doesn't have to become another casualty of the busy parenting years.In this episode, we talk about: Why parenting often creates tension in marriage—and why that's completely normal. How different parenting styles can actually become one of your family's greatest strengths. The danger of keeping score and how resentment quietly grows. Practical communication habits that help couples stay connected. A simple weekly marriage check-in you can start this Sunday. The power of praying together, especially when parenting feels overwhelming. How small daily habits shape a strong marriage over time. One truth I hope you'll remember this week:Your parenting differences don't have to divide you. They can become one of your greatest strengths when you choose to work as a team.God never intended for us to navigate marriage and motherhood alone. The Holy Spirit is our Helper—the One who comes alongside us, gives us wisdom, and strengthens us for the work He's called us to do. When we bring our parenting struggles to Him first, we make room for His peace, wisdom, and perspective.Connect with Dr. Kim Kimberling:  Website: Awesome Marriage — Marriage, Relationships Instagram: Christian Marriage | Help & Education (@awesome_marriage) Facebook: Awesome Marriage Links Mentioned:  Don't Mom Alone: By Heather MacFadyen [book]Related Episodes: How to Align with Your Spouse in Parenting :: Dr. Kim Kimberling [Ep 491] Self-Differentiation and Why it Matters :: Nancy Houston [Ep 335] Talking, Teens, and Twenty-four Years :: Bruce + Heather [Ep 399] Featured Sponsors:  Honeylove: Treat yourself to the most advanced bras and shapewear on the market.

"A complaint focuses on a specific behavior, but criticism attacks a person's very character." - John Gottman Summary This episode focuses on how criticism in marriage, especially towards husbands, can quietly damage connection and respect if it targets a person's character instead of addressing specific behaviors. Many wives fall into patterns of correcting or pointing out faults, often with good intentions, but this can lead to defensiveness, withdrawal, and a negative cycle in the relationship. In this episode, Mike and Alicia emphasize the importance of expressing concerns calmly and specifically, assuming goodwill, and building up your spouse through affirmation rather than constant critique.

Many people assume separation means the marriage is over, but what if separation isn't always about ending the relationship?

Jupiter has officially entered Cancer, and in this episode I explore one of the themes I've been noticing recently: Individuals being offered the opportunity to go deeper and reveal truths about themselves via triggers. Though not the most comfortable, these moments can provide powerful opportunities for healing and support us in getting to the root of old wounds, patterns, and emotional conditioning - ultimately leading to greater inner security and personal safety. As the guru of the zodiac, Jupiter illuminates what is True. This energy isn't limited to our personal lives... It may also be noticeable collectively. Truth may be exposed with important information, insights, and revelations. Realizations may emerge in the external world throughout this transit.We also discuss Mars in Taurus and the importance of focusing on long-term goals, sustained effort, and building something with a long term agenda. Mars conjunction with Uranus on July 4th brings the possibility of sudden events, unexpected experiences, breakthroughs, and heightened intensity. Finally, we review the temporary sweetness of Saraswati Yoga. This conjunction offers a softer and more harmonious energy for a bit at the end of June. This is a beautiful time to embrace creativity, learning, beauty, comfort, and the simple pleasures. It's a time of nourishment, kicking back, and inner fulfillment.

The upcoming new moon on June 14th will take place in Mrigashira. This asterism is symbolized by the deer's head - representing the nature of the seeker... the part of ourselves that longs to explore, be curious, and pursue what feels meaningful and inspiring. This period of time may stir sensitivity, wanderlust, impulsivity, or curiosity, while also revealing the ways we search outside of ourselves for what can only be found within.In this episode, we'll explore the symbolism of Mrigashira, the gifts and challenges of this restless nakshatra, and how to work consciously with its energy. We will reflect on the difference between healthy curiosity and endless chasing and consider how devotion, discernment, and presence can guide us toward what we truly seek.

June brings one of the biggest energetic shifts of the year as Jupiter enters Cancer, beginning a new 12-year cycle centered around nourishment, emotional intelligence, home, family, and security - internally and externally! This is a very exciting transit as Jupiter is truly a planet of opportunity, grace, growth, and expansion.We also discuss the formation of Saraswati Yoga in Cancer. This combination highlights themes of knowledge, creativity, education, and depth. The more intense transit for the month - Mars enters the sign of Taurus. This transit asks us to slow down, stabilize, and build with thoughtfulness rather than impulse. Mercury will retrograde at the end of the month, which may prompt reviewing plans or having us redo tasks.

Saturn's transit through in 2026 brings us into one of the most liminal, transitional, and spiritually charged spaces of the zodiac. Revati is connected to endings, release, wandering, surrender, and the journey between worlds. In this episode, we explore how Saturn's presence here may ask us to confront uncertainty, exhaustion, lack of direction, and the dissolution of what once gave us certainty.We review the emphasis on water already emerging in world events — from piracy and drug boats to increasing global focus on oil and gas. Neptune is also strongly activated - amplifying themes of confusion, escapism, longing, and disorientation. Saturn in Revati can feel like walking through fog: inspiration may wane, discipline may feel harder to access, and it is possible to feel suspended between chapters of life. This transit may feel like a grand purge - emotionally, spiritually, materially, or relationally, which can clear space for a completely new cycle to emerge.Saturn in Revati - may 17 - October 9, 2026 Feb 8, 2027 - June 3, 2027 Oct 20, 2027 - Feb 23, 2028D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

When was the last time your marriage felt deeply connected instead of simply functional? Maybe lately your marriage feels more like roommates than soulmates. You're coordinating schedules, managing responsibilities, handling the kids, building businesses, and falling into bed exhausted at the end of the day. You still love each other, but somewhere along the way, the connection started fading into routine. In today's conversation, I'm joined by my friend Lindsey Maestas for a deeply honest discussion about the quiet disconnection so many couples experience but rarely talk about. This isn't a typical episode for this show, but I truly believe this conversation matters. As Christian entrepreneurs, it can be easy to slowly fall into self-focused thinking without even realizing it. Thoughts like “What about my happiness?” or “What about my needs?” can quietly replace the posture of “What would Jesus have me do?” And over time, those small hidden habits can slowly create distance in a marriage. The truth is, so many couples are struggling silently. From the outside, everything looks fine, but internally, there's emotional distance, exhaustion, resentment, or simply feeling unseen. We sweep it under the rug because we assume this is just what marriage becomes after enough years, responsibilities, and busy seasons. But Lindsey shares why that “quiet disconnection” matters so much and how couples can begin finding their way back to each other before the distance grows even deeper. Lindsey shares wisdom from her book, Don't Burn Your Own House Down: Prioritizing Your Marriage, Your Spouse, and Yourself for a Deeper Connection, along with practical and biblical encouragement for restoring connection in a healthy, God-centered way. Friend, I believe healthy and fruitful marriages are possible. God cares deeply about the health of your home just as much as the success of your business. If your marriage has felt distant lately, I pray this conversation encourages you with grace, honesty, hope, and practical next steps toward deeper connection. I pray this blesses you!

The New Moon in Taurus arrives in the sharp and discerning nakshatra of Krittika.. an asterism associated with purification, clarity, and the sacred fire that burns away inner distortion and bias. Taurus reminds us to slow down, ground ourselves, and reconnect with stability, the senses, nature, and what makes us feel safe. Krittika asks us to remain neutral and objective, even in the storm of inner turbulence. There may be some emotional reactivity, projection, or attachment around this new moon. Krittika has the ability to cut through confusion, helping us separate emotional intensity from objective truth. We also discuss the upcoming Saraswati Yoga, a deeply supportive combination for learning, creativity, wisdom, and communication. 30 Minute Readings https://calendly.com/vedic_astrology/30-minuteYOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

In the segment, we spend time reflecting on a the previous year of Jupiter in Gemini... Before Jupiter shifts into Cancer on June 1st, we have a final opportunity to consider what knowledge, perspectives, and connections have shaped us over the past year. What have we learned? What "truths" have changed? What connections opened new pathways?Jupiter's move into Cancer marks a major energetic shift... from the intellect into the emotional body, from information into nourishment, and a massive focus on home, homeland security, and seeking safety.

Spoiler alert: This podcast is very relationship based and you can find personal contemplation questions at 23:03 if you're wanting to journal on this full moon. Beltane + Full Moon in Libra really has the potential to illuminate matters involving love, intimacy, and relational balance!May 1st brings a full moon in Libra, highlighting the balance between self and other.. separateness and closeness. The moon in Libra asks to us to lean into "the other" while the Sun in Aries reminds us that this is only possible with a firm connection to the self... This full moon brings relationship dynamics into focus, asking us to examine patterns, projections, and the roles we unconsciously play with friends, lovers, and collaborators.This full moon coincides with Beltane (!), the Gaelic festival of fertility, life, and sacred union. Beltane carries themes of attraction, commitment ,and the life force that draws us toward creation. It's a celebration of polarity—masculine and feminine, self and other—mirroring the essence of Libra.This is a significant moment for reflecting on the relationships we attract, what they awaken within us, and how we can move toward more conscious, aligned connection... Contemplation Questions: 1. What qualities do I consistently attract in friends or partners? 2. How do I tend to behave in close relationships, and what role do I unconsciously step into?3. What emotional patterns feel familiar in my relationships4. What does being in this type of relationship allow me to do or avoid? 5. If I attracted someone completely different (someone ideal, healthy, secure, aligned), what parts of myself would I have to grow into or confront?

In today's segment we discuss the New Moon in Ashwini, which marks new beginnings and a fresh perspective. Ashwini is the first of the 27 nakshatras and is often associated with healing, rejuvenation, passion, and impulse. This nakshatra is fast-moving and action-oriented, so there may be a strong urge to begin something new or make a quick decision. It's a good time for energetic intentions, but it's important to stay mindful of impulsivity.Akshaya Tritiya is coming up on April 19th, which is traditionally associated with long-term growth and lasting results. Actions taken now are believed to have staying power. Akshaya Tritya lands on a day of intensity this year, so be sure to focus on Dharma, Service, and Sincerity. We are still working with Yama Yoga (through May 11) keeping an environment of intensity. This combination can feel restrictive or frustrating, as Mars pushes forward while Saturn slows things down. It may bring pressure, delays, or a need to take responsibility and act with more discipline.On a more exciting note, Venus will enter Taurus on April 19th, which will provide stability and sensuality. This is a strong placement for Venus and can help with grounding, relationships, and focusing on what is steady and sustainable.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

In today's segment we discuss the Sun shifting into sidereal Aries on April 13th, marking bold new beginnings and a surge of courage, independence, and leadership. Aries season invites us to act, initiate, and step into a new chapter. This year, the energy carries deeper undertones. With Ketu transiting Magha, themes of lineage, legacy, and past-life karma are strongly activated. We discuss how Ketu in Leo has an impact on LEADERS, and Magha especially will impact the "kingdom". We may find ourselves confronting old patterns, ancestral influences, and questions around power, authority, and purpose.We review that the United States continues to navigate its Pluto return - a once-in-248-year transformation that signals profound shifts in power structures, government, and collective identity.

In today's segment, we explore the month of April and the major astrological events. This month is interesting due to having a YAMA YOGA, which don't occur very often. Our last Yama Yoga was in 2024 and our last Yama Yoga in Pisces was 1996! We explore how this combination is formed and what kind of events it can manifest. We also discuss Hanuman Jayanti, which will be marked by the full moon in Virgo coming up on April 1st. If you are unsure how to honor Lord Hanuman but would like to participate, you can find the Hanuman Chalisa here. We also dive into the unique Mercury in Pisces and Jupiter in Gemini parivartana, exploring how this exchange brings direct communication between Jupiter, the Guru, and Mercury, the student/messenger. This is profound time for learning and keeping an open mind. To ease Mercury, find an easy pranayama practice here. Additionally, we unpack Mars in Pisces, a softer and more compassionate expression of drive and motivation. This transit encourages intuitive action, creativity, emotional courage, and spiritual growth — while also asking us to be clear and direct with frustration and anger, instead of becoming passive aggressive or complacent.

Hi everyone! We spend some time catching up, new content begins around minute 5. In this segment, we start with Mercury direct, bringing a sense of relief after weeks of reflection since late February. What has resurfaced for you? What conversations, realizations, or patterns have come back around asking to be understood? As Mercury moves forward, clarity returns... and with it, the ability to integrate what we've learned.Venus moves through Gandanta degrees. This is an intense window where emotional cycles in love and relationships begin to unravel. Pisces represents completion, surrender, and forgiveness, while Aries initiates a new chapter of desire and direction. This transition can feel confusing or overwhelming, as illusions dissolve and truths come into focus—but it also opens the door to powerful rebirth.We also discuss Sun and Neptune conjunction in Pisces. This transit has the ability to dissolve the ego and soften the identities we've been clinging to... especially those shaped by external expectations. It can feel dreamy, psychic, and deeply spiritual… or confusing, foggy, and disorienting. This is a time to ask: Who am I beneath my roles, my thoughts, or my conditioning?We also cover Saturn and Sun conjunction and other astrological ongoings.

What happens when a marriage slowly drifts into loneliness, betrayal, and eventually divorce? And can God really restore something that broken? In this episode of Living Easy with Lindsey, Lindsey Maestas talks with author and marriage mentor Cheryl Scruggs about the painful season that led to an affair, the divorce that followed, and the unexpected seven-year journey that eventually led Cheryl and her husband Jeff back to each other. Cheryl shares honestly about feeling deeply alone in her marriage, the choices that led to brokenness, and the personal and spiritual transformation that made reconciliation possible. Their story is a powerful reminder that even when a marriage feels beyond repair, redemption is still possible.

Have you ordered, rated, and reviewed my new book, "Don't Burn Your Own House Down: Prioritizing Your Marriage, Your Spouse, and Yourself for a Deeper Connection"? If not, please take a second to do so!! If you've ever enjoyed my content, this is the greatest way that you could support me right now! THANK YOU!  Change is expensive, but won't staying cost you even more?  What if the reason you feel stuck, drained, or unhappy isn't because your life is hard, but because you've been "adding sugar" to what's actually bitter? In this episode, Lindsey Maestas shares what she calls the "Black Coffee Theory": a simple but transformative mindset shift that has changed the way she approaches relationships, work, habits, and her spiritual life. The concept is this: the happiest, most successful, most grounded people don't add sugar to things that are already bitter. They're honest with themselves that it's bitter, and they put the cup down. They don't distort reality to make something tolerable, they don't romanticize what hurts, and they don't convince themselves something is good just because they're afraid of what honesty might require. The Psychology  This episode also explores the research behind why we do this in the first place: Cognitive Dissonance When our reality conflicts with our identity or beliefs, we feel internal tension. Instead of changing the situation, we often change the story. The Sunk Cost Fallacy We stay in situations because we've already invested so much — time, emotion, reputation, or faith — and leaving feels more painful than tolerating. Emotional Suppression and Resentment Research shows that consistently overriding internal signals leads to emotional exhaustion, resentment, and anxiety. When we ignore what drains us, our body and nervous system keep the score. Isaiah 5:20 warns: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." Reflection Questions Where am I adding "sugar" in my life right now? How can I be more honest with myself about what I want out of life? Am I enduring something that is refining me or am I tolerating something that is draining me? What would it look like to tell the truth about this situation before God?
