This week on AstrologyNow, we explore the New Moon in Libra within the brilliant star of Chitra — the celestial architect. This new moon invites us to see beyond our limited experience and embrace our full potential.We discuss the evolutionary strategy of confirmation bias — how the mind clings to what's familiar, even when it limits growth — and how this New Moon invites us to step into the vastness of new possibilities.Libra reminds us of justice, fairness, and the art of relating, while Chitra adds creative brilliance and structure — the ability to turn ideals into tangible reality. There will be calls for peace and connection, though there may be some hurdles or challenges to move through. Plus, a look at Jupiter in Cancer, and its influence on themes of security, homeland protection, and even collective systems like digital IDs. What does this mean for personal and societal evolution?YOUTUBE:Mars + Ketuhttps://youtu.be/J_gnbbOmqe8D9 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
Send us a textIf you've ever asked yourself, “How do we start feeling close again?” — this week's episode of the AwakenYou in Your Marriage Podcast is for you.We often think falling back in love takes something big: a grand romantic gesture, a perfect date night, or our spouse suddenly changing. But true connection rarely starts that way.In Episode 235, “Tiny Sparks: Reigniting Emotional Connection,” I share how love begins to grow again through the smallest moments—a kind word, a gentle glance, a quiet act of appreciation—and how those moments become the spark that reignites emotional intimacy in marriage.But there's something even deeper: these sparks begin within you.To create lasting connection, you first have to do your inner work—learning who you are, what you value, and how to have a compassionate relationship with yourself. Because when you know yourself and care for yourself well, you show up differently in your marriage. You bring safety, authenticity, and openness that naturally draw your spouse closer.In this episode, you'll learn:What emotional connection truly is (and what it isn't).How inner work helps you build a deeper relationship with yourself and your spouse.Practical ways to create small sparks of connection every day.What to expect when you start this process—it's not instant, but it's powerful.If this message encourages you, would you take a moment to leave a review for the podcast? Reviews help other couples find the hope and tools they need to reconnect and fall back in love.And if you're ready to explore what it might look like to reignite emotional connection in your own marriage, I invite you to book a Courageous Love Conversation with me. It's not a commitment—just a safe space to explore what's possible when you have someone walking alongside you.Love can grow again—one spark at a time.CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Hi everyone! In today's segment we cover the upcoming full moon in sidereal Pisces. As we know, the full moon is a moment of release and letting go. The full moon in PISCES, the final sign, truly represents a time of conclusions, endings, and closure. This full moon will take place in the nakshatra of Revati. The asterism of friendliness, compassion, and guiding others on the path - literally or metaphorically. We also cover Pluto direct, karma control planets, and other astrological on-goings.

Hi everyone! In today's segment, we cover the main transits of October... which I'm REALLY looking forward to.October's astrology offers a profound recalibration. Conversations may create tension as Mercury and Mars in Libra heighten our desire for justice and clarity, but this energy also encourages listening, questioning, and finding common ground. Venus conjoining Ketu to the degree pulls us into memories and karma of the past. The Pisces Full Moon asks us to release illusions, finalize chapters, and trust spiritual guidance amid uncertainty. Pluto going direct and Jupiter in Cancer may amplify collective restructuring, pushing us to face truths while seeking safety, home, and inner stability. The New Moon in Libra marks a turning point of rebuilding and balance, and with Mars entering Scorpio, the month closes with intensity, empowerment, and the courage to move forward.Transits: October 2 - October 24 Mercury in Libra October 4 Venus and Ketu at 24 degrees of LeoOctober 6 Full moon at 19 degrees of Pisces RevatiOctober 9 - November 2 Venus in Virgo October 13 Pluto Direct at 7 degrees of Capricorn October 17 - Nov 16 Sun in Libra October 18th - December 5th Jupiter in Cancer October 21 New Moon in Libra at 4 degrees ChitraOctober 27th - December 7th Mars in Scorpio 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
This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, takes a close look at how the pressure to perform on the job can unconsciously spill over into your personal life (Amazon Affiliate). Many first responders feel their value is tied to achievement, productivity, or rank—and when that same mindset shows up at home, it can quietly damage relationships. We dig into how this pattern develops, why it backfires, and what you can do to shift from performance mode into presence mode with the people who matter most. 1. The Conditioning of Performance Culture Why law enforcement and first responder work rewards performance over vulnerability. How this mindset becomes ingrained and unconsciously carried into family life. 2. Signs You're Performing Instead of Connecting at Home Constantly trying to “fix” instead of listening. Over-scheduling yourself to prove worth instead of being still. Measuring value in what you do, not who you are. 3. The Emotional Toll on Your Spouse and Kids How loved ones may feel unseen or secondary to your achievements. The resentment that builds when presence is replaced by performance. 4. Why Performance Backfires in Relationships Achievement-driven interactions don't create intimacy. The disconnect between “providing” and truly being available. Why presence—not perfection—is what family members actually crave. 5. Strategies to Shift From Performance to Presence Practice active listening without offering solutions. Create intentional downtime with no agenda. Remind yourself that your worth at home isn't tied to your badge or your productivity. Use rituals (prayer, meal time, walks) to foster connection.

When you hear the word “betrayal,” you probably think of infidelity. But there's another kind of betrayal that can wound just as deeply, and often goes unnamed: emotional betrayal.It happens when your spouse turns away instead of toward you… when the trust that they'll be emotionally safe with you gets broken. Sometimes it looks like confiding in someone else instead of you. Sometimes it's dismissing your feelings, withholding vulnerability, or creating secrecy around outside friendships.The effects? You might start doubting yourself, you might close yourself off to them, and even start wondering if you're too needy, or feeling abandoned in the very relationship that's supposed to feel safest.The good news: emotional betrayal doesn't have to be the end of the story. Naming it is the first step toward healing.
Hi everyone, first and foremost - notice to my friends with misophonia. I am getting over being sick and officially a mouth breather. ****Correction: At some point I mention Plutos transit and accidentally say it will be in Cap until 2024. What I intended to say is 2040. Pluto will be in Capricorn until 2040. ****In this episode, we explore the transformative Solar Eclipse in Uttara Phalguni—a nakshatra connected to friendship, friendliness, and favors. How can we embrace one another in a time of darkness and divide? How can we stay grounded and clear when there are so many messages designed to instill outrage?We dive into Mars' transit through Libra, a placement that calls us to learn the art of balance and diplomacy, even in turbulent circumstances. What does it mean to stand strong in your truth while remaining fair, open-hearted, and collaborative?We discuss Rahus transit through Aquarius and the incredibly important attention it is bringing to freedom of speech and humanitarian causes. Not mentioned in the podcast is the West Coast Health Alliance, and how this is a demonstration of both Rahu in Aquarius AND Mars/Saturn opposition in Virgo and Pisces. Along with these themes, we review other astrological ongoings and how they shape our personal and collective journeys. This episode is an invitation to embrace equanimity and remember that light is always present—especially when we decide to lead from the heart.

This week, we explore the upcoming lunar eclipse in Purva Bhadrapada, as the Moon joins Rahu and the Sun joins Ketu. This combination brings heightened sensitivity, stirring the mind and emotions while asking us to release the grip of the past and lean into future possibilities. Old matters may resurface, not to hold us back, but to give us the choice of what to carry forward and what to leave behind.Purva Bhadrapada, governed by Jupiter, is one of the most intense and polarizing nakshatras—symbolized by the front legs of a funeral cot. Its themes remind us of impermanence, death, and transformation. This energy can feel volatile and dual in nature, but it also offers profound opportunities for truth-seeking, purification, and spiritual awakening. It urges us to strip back illusions and attachments to reveal the eternal spirit within all beings.We'll also discuss:Embracing duality with neutrality, allowing ourselves to sit with both pleasure and discomfort without judgment.Shadow sides of this eclipse—indulgence, addiction, volatility—and how to navigate them consciously.Collective themes: transformative revelations, rumors, and intensities on the global stage, from leaders in the spotlight to ongoing health headlines.This eclipse invites us into the fire of purification—burning away what no longer serves.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
Do you feel like your spouse won't change—no matter what you try?Have you been tolerating non-improvement and calling it “keeping the peace”?In this episode, Greg & Rachel Denning share a practical blueprint for creating real change in marriage—without nagging, power struggles, or giving ultimatums. You'll learn how to earn influence (instead of demanding it), build psychological safety so growth is possible, and use pattern interrupts to break the same old fights.They unpack why couples stall out—no shared vision, unresolved wounds, holes in the relationship “bucket,” and mixed signals that make one spouse armor up. You'll get specific tools to create safety, raise standards, and stop tolerating non-improvement—so your marriage actually gets better month by month.What we cover:- Why “it's okay to be wounded—but not to stay wounded.”- How to earn your spouse's attention & respect (and keep it).- Pattern interrupts that disarm conflict and reset connection.- The Bucket Test: plug the leaks killing motivation & desire.- Strategic praise (what to amplify so it multiplies).- The Shared Vision your marriage needs to stay motivated.- When one spouse levels up—and what to do if the other resists.- Tough talks done right: letters, timing, tone, and follow-through.Bottom line: In life, you get what you tolerate. Don't accept non-improvement. Use these tools to create safety, raise the standard, and build a marriage where both partners keep growing.
What It's Like to Be Face Blind in a Neurodiverse Relationship Ever mistaken a stranger for your spouse? Journalist and author Sadie Dingfelder has—because she's face blind. In this episode of Your Neurodiverse Relationship, Sadie and her husband Steve share what it's like to navigate marriage when both partners are neurodivergent in different ways. From ADHD to prosopagnosia (face blindness), this conversation is filled with relatable moments, honest insights, and laugh-out-loud stories. Sadie discusses how discovering her own neurodivergence led to writing her debut book, “Do I Know You?”, while Steve reflects on living with ADHD since childhood and what finally helped him understand how his brain works. Together, they talk with host Jodi Carlton about cognitive empathy, relationship conflict, and what it really takes to make a neurodiverse marriage thrive. If you're in a neurodiverse relationship—or love someone who is—this episode offers validation, wisdom, and the reminder that being “on the same team” is everything. 00:00 – Welcome to Season Five 01:00 – “I Thought I Was Neurotypical”: Meet Sadie & Steve 04:40 – Mistaking a Stranger for Your Spouse?!

In her debut book, “Do I Know You? A Faceblind Reporter's Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory, and Imagination”, she unpacks what it's like to live with prosopagnosia (face blindness) while taking readers on a fascinating tour of the brain's inner workings. A former reporter for the Washington Post Express, Sadie is known for blending humor and insight—whether she's reviewing every bathroom on the National Mall or playing a priceless Stradivarius at the Smithsonian. Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker, National Geographic, Washingtonian, and other major publications. Steve Hay is an engineer and aspiring scientist who is currently developing an augmented reality art project that simulates prosopagnosia by using AI to subtly distort faces in real time. Before turning his focus to brain and perception research, Steve worked as a Navy nuclear engineer and later in the green energy sector, applying AI and machine learning to grid-scale energy storage. His work blends scientific insight, creative experimentation, and a knack for making the invisible visible.
One of the quietest but most painful dynamics I hear from women is this: “He says he wants sex… but he never actually asks.”It leaves you feeling invisible, unwanted, and confused. And for him? Silence can feel safer than facing rejection, insecurity, or the shame that often hides beneath the surface.In my latest bonus episode, “He's Not Asking—Now What?” I explore what might really be happening when your spouse longs for intimacy but doesn't initiate. We'll look at:Why silence often feels safer than askingHow years of “learned dynamics” can quietly create disconnectionThe role insecurity and shame play in holding him backHow to start courageous conversations that open the door to honesty and reconnectionThis episode will help you see the silence in a new light—not as a dead end, but as an invitation to understanding and deeper intimacy.CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Have you ever wondered why sex seemed so natural in the beginning, but now feels complicated—or even avoided?For many couples, sex was the hook that brought them together.For her, giving herself felt like the way to keep his attention.For him, receiving her felt like proof that he was wanted.It worked—at least for a while. But over time, that script creates a painful standoff: she pulls back, weary of obligation, knowing that this type of intimacy doesn't feel right, while he feels rejected, confused, and wondering what changed. Jeff and I lived this story. I realized I was using sex to keep him interested, and when I stopped, my desire plummeted because it was based on lies. I asked him to start initiating, but what I didn't know was how insecure he felt doing that. What was meant to bring us closer created a chasm between us.In this week's bonus episode, When Sex Was the Hook, I share our journey of untangling this pattern—and how couples can move toward a more honest, holistic intimacy.If this episode resonates, I'd love for you to share it with a friend or leave a review. It's one of the most powerful ways to help more couples find hope in their own journey.CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Hi everyone!Today I address questions that I get OFTEN about navigating the fear and anxiety that can come with knowledge of astrology.While astrology offers patterns, insights, and cosmic cycles, true peace comes from surrendering to the wisdom of the Universe itself. We reflect on how leaning into faith can calm fear, open the heart, and attune us to a supported path - even if we can't see it clearly in the moment. This conversation is an invitation to release control and identity. It is to support you in remembering that astrology is a tool - and to walk with courage knowing that the universe holds us, guides us, and conspires for us.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
What if the very questions you've been afraid to ask about sex… are actually the ones that could open the door to deeper connection, healing, and understanding? This week's episode wraps up the Let's Talk About Sex in Marriage series with something powerful:
Hi everyone! In this segment, we explore the upcoming New Moon in Magha Nakshatra. This asterism is associated with the royal star and is connected to ancestors, dignity, and the sacred responsibility of leadership. With the Sun conjoined Ketu, we may feel fluctuations in our sense of self, moments of ego being challenged, or questions about our personal worth. These energies invite us to soften our grip on titles and recognition, and instead lead from the heart, remembering that true power comes through service to the collective.We also discuss Venus in Cancer, a transit that wraps us in comfort and the desire to nurture our private worlds. This is a beautiful time to slow down, make your home a sanctuary, and savor time with loved ones.Join me as we unpack these cosmic currents — a blend of soul work, humility, and cozy connection — so you can align with this New Moon's call to lead with love and purpose.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
This couple had an intimacy breakthrough most couples miss.He was frustrated they weren't having sex.She felt used and emotionally abandoned.He said, “I'm always open to sex—she just never initiates.”She said, “It doesn't feel like love. It feels like pressure.”Like so many couples, they were stuck in a painful standoff—both wanting connection, but waiting for the other to change.But here's what shifted everything:
Hi everyone!In this episode, we explore the Full Moon in Shravana Nakshatra, the lunar mansion of listening, wisdom, and the pursuit of truth. Shravana teaches us that real knowledge is not only spoken — it is absorbed in silence, the humility of bearing witness, and lived through experience.We'll discuss:The deeper meaning of Shravana and its connection to the power of listening, learning, and rememberingThe Saturn–Mars opposition, and how this tension is showing up globally and individuals + ways to navigate Mercury Retrograde themes, including taxes, tariffs ,and debtThis lunar phase invites us to turn down the noise, lean into mindful awareness, and make space for insights that can only come through stillness.

What if the way you initiate sex… actually turned your spouse on?Not because of a clever move or perfectly timed suggestion—but because of the energy behind it.Too often, initiation becomes about asking for something. And for the person being asked? It can feel like pressure. One more thing on the to-do list. One more demand to meet.But what if initiating wasn't about getting sex—what if it was about offering love?This week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage invites you into that powerful shift.You'll hear a client story about a woman who used to feel like sex was something she had to do to keep her husband happy—and how everything changed when she began seeing it as something she wanted to give, not just to him but to herself first!You'll also learn:
Hello everyone! This week, we will look at the month of August.Bhagavad Gita 18.47: It is better to do one's own dharma, even though imperfectly, than to do another's dharma, even though perfectly. Perhaps the most influential transits of the month are Venus in Gemini, Mars oppose Saturn, and the Sun entering its own sign of Leo... Mars in Virgo will bring in a grounding energy and will shift our focus to health, daily rituals, and practical service - on a personal and global level. It's a powerful time for healing the body, mind, and spirit. It is also powerful for clearing clutter and refining what's not working.It is a beautiful time to offer service to others by offering time, energy, or resources to what we care about. There will be a global call to action concerning humanitarian efforts and addressing humanitarian crises. Mars and Saturn sit in opposition, bringing tension between discipline and action, restriction and willpower. This can cause a "stop-go" energy. We may struggle in knowing how to direct our energy or how to use our energy wisely. It's possible we experience limitations internally or externally. In this podcast, we discuss practical ways to move through this period with grace and strategy.Venus in Gemini adds a playful, intellectual essence to our relationships, highlighting the beauty of platonic love. We explore how spiritually enriching our soul-deep friendships can be.On a collective level, issues related to water, flooding, or natural disasters may continue to be prominent. We're reminded of nature's force and the need to care for both the planet and our own internal tides.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

Have you ever loved your spouse deeply but felt your body shut down when they reached for you?Maybe you've wondered…“Why don't I want sex the way I used to?”“Why does my mind feel so distracted—or even resistant—when I want to feel close?”If that's you, I want you to take a deep breath and hear this:
In this ethereal and unconventional episode, we explore the sacred realm of animal guides and allies. Animals can act as messengers from the unseen world - walking beside us, offering protection, insight, and connection. Whether appearing in dreams, crossing your path repeatedly, or popping up on bumper stickers, signs, or emojis, these beings may not just be symbols... they may be seeking you.We'll explore how animals have served as guides across cultures and traditions, how to recognize when one is reaching out, and how to begin tapping in to decipher what they may be telling you. If you've ever felt the mysterious presence of a creature in your life—or wondered which guide may be trying to find you—this episode will help you open your heart and senses to their call.YOUTUBE:Mars + Ketuhttps://youtu.be/J_gnbbOmqe8D9 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
Today we explore the deep, intense, chaotic asterism of Ardra. Ardra spans from 6°40' to 20°00' in the sign of Gemini. Naturally ruled by Rahu, Ardra combines the thoughtful, intellectual, and strategic energy of Mercury with the futuristic, rebellious, and obsessive energy of Rahu. Ardra is endlessly curious, youthful, witty, and ingenious. With their passion and endless obsession to understand, they can become masters of their craft and a leader in their field. We explore:The emotional intelligence and intensity of Ardra nativesHow Ardra teaches us to transform pain into powerThe unique gifts and challenges of planets placed hereHow to Feed and Water your ArdraArdra is also known for being one of the hardest and most chaotic nakshtras of the 27. We explore challenges they may encounter or how unbalanced Ardra energy may manifest.

There was a season in my marriage when we were having sex… but something still felt painfully off.We weren't fighting. We were doing the “right” things.But emotionally, we were disconnected — and I felt it most clearly in the bedroom.We were going through the motions — like fast food intimacy.It gave us temporary relief but left us hungry for something deeper.Maybe you know what that feels like…Maybe sex has become a routine task you check off the list.Or maybe it's been so long, you don't even know where to begin.Maybe you're wondering: Is something wrong with me… with us?You're not alone — and nothing is wrong with you.AND something different is possible.In this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I talk about:Why sex can become a substitute for emotional connection — and how to tell the differenceHow to shift from “performance” to presenceWhat I did in my own marriage to stop blaming and start healingWhy foreplay starts right after sex ends (this insight is a game changer!)And a powerful visualization to help you reconnect with what your heart really wantsIf sex has become disconnected, distant, or just not what you hoped it would be, I invite you to listen in.You are not broken.

Hi everyone! In today's segment, we explore the New Moon in Sidereal Cancer and Mercury Retrograde in the same sensitive and emotional sign. The sign of Cancer is a reminder to soften, nourish, and to come home - within or literally. We also discuss how Mercury retrograde invites us to revisit the past, address loose ends, and do a little "emotional housekeeping." It's a fantastic time to deep clean your space, clear out old items, or even repair things associated with the the mother — whether it's your relationship with your mother, your inner caretaker, or the physical home itself.The New Moon in Cancer is an opportunity to evaluate where we feel safe, and more importantly, where we don't. What energies are we allowing into our emotional space that may not truly support or protect us? We explore these concepts throughout the segment and also discuss other astrological ongoings. Also a correction: The new moon will be at 2:10pm central time*DONATE: Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN)Austin Pet's AliveKerrville Pets AliveConvoy of HopeKerr County Flood Relief FundSalvation Army Southern New Mexico Community Foundation & Community Foundation of Lincoln CountyBeloved Asheville YOUTUBE:Mars + Ketuhttps://youtu.be/J_gnbbOmqe8D9 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 this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I'm talking about something most of us have never taken the time to unpack—what we learned about sex… and how those lessons still live in our bodies, our minds, and our marriages today.For many of us, sex was never talked about at all.For others, the messages we received were shame-based, fear-driven, or wrapped in unrealistic ideals.Some of us absorbed confusion or silence. Others absorbed pressure, fear, or even distorted ideas of what it means to be desired.In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about my own early exposure to pornography, the lasting impact it had on my sense of worth, and how that confusion showed up in my marriage. I also talk about the harm of being dismissed by someone I turned to for help—and how our stories deserve to be met with empathy, not judgment.If you've ever felt shut down, ashamed, or like something's “off” in the way you connect with your spouse…This conversation will help you see that you're not broken. You just haven't been given the space to understand what shaped you.✨ There's a journaling prompt at the end to help you reflect, and if you're ready to take a first step toward healing, I'd love to invite you to a free Courageous Love Conversation.CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Surprising Discoveries of Sex in Marriage: An Interview with Shaunti Feldhahn Deuteronomy 29:29a (NKJV) "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us" Questions and Topics We Cover: Are there any specific questions you recommend we ask our spouse periodically? Will you elaborate on your finding that "men and women tend to have different insecurities that the process of sex can help heal or hurt"? You write "Having a comfortable way to signal (and receive) openness or interest will create connection and prevent much pain." So, how can couples begin to develop their own private language or signals to communicate effectively in a healthy manner? Thank You to Our Sponsor: The Sue Neihouser Team Shaunti Feldhahn received her graduate degree from Harvard University and was an analyst on Wall Street before unexpectedly becoming a social researcher, best-selling author, and popular speaker.

Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. 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.”

In today's segment, we explore Saturn Retrograde in the sidereal sign of Pisces, taking place from July 12th to November 27th/28th, 2025.Saturn is the planet of karma, consequence, hard work, and discipline. Pisces is watery, ethereal, spiritual, and deeply connected to the unseen realms. This transit stirs themes of the past, the subconscious, and spiritual reckoning.On a global scale, we may see heightened focus on water, oil, and gas industries, along with revelations or consequences linked to past actions. Saturn's retrograde can bring unfinished business to the surface—both collective and personal. Mystics, hidden affairs, or spiritual institutions may also be brought into the public eye.On a personal level, Saturn's retrograde offers a powerful opportunity to reconstruct daily routines, revisit unresolved karma, and realign with long-term goals. You may find yourself revisiting the past— to heal, conclude, and clarify.If confusion or uncertainty arises, do not panic: this is a time of gathering insight. The uncertainty is part of the process. As Saturn retraces its steps, it's illuminating areas of life where deeper clarity is needed—so that we may move forward with greater wisdom and peace.We also dive into current global events and how they reflect this powerful astrological energy.DONATE: Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN)Austin Pet's AliveConvoy of HopeKerr County Flood Relief FundSalvation Army Southern New Mexico Community Foundation & Community Foundation of Lincoln CountyBeloved Asheville YOUTUBE:Mars + Ketuhttps://youtu.be/J_gnbbOmqe8D9 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

July is yet another month of intensity and confusion as Mars and Ketu near their exact conjunction degree, Saturn and Neptune retrograde at 7 degrees of Pisces, AND Mercury retrogrades. In todays segment, we explore how to use the energy of Mars and Ketu to better support our lives and avoid unnecessary conflict. This combination can be used for GOOD when approached appropriately. Saturn and Neptune go retrograde, bringing blurring lines to our boundaries and discernment. This is a time of turning inwards, reflecting, and tapping into the Guru within, as opposed to outsourcing all of our guidance. There is an essence of uncertainty for the collective, and we may experience it in our personal lives as well. Kala Sarpa will be broken later this month, releasing heat and allowing for necessary reprieve. Though this month is yet another month of intense energy, there IS a path forward that can be graceful, courageous, and clear. Learn more here.

This New Moon in Ardra calls for a reckoning. In this episode, we dive into the fierce and confronting energy of Ardra nakshatra—symbolizing storm, sorrow, and ultimate renewal. We explore how this period invites us to sever old energetic cords, release toxic attachments, and make space for divine reconstruction.Mercury transiting Cancer, our thoughts and communications become deeply emotional and intuitive—but not without consequence. In this watery sign, Mercury can lead to data slips and vulnerabilities in digital spaces. Security in the digital realm will become a point of prominence... not that it hasn't already!Venus entering Taurus is in it's own sign! However, with Venus and Uranus being so close in degrees in early July, there can be issues with the US involving enemies, debt, and friendships. Personally, some may experience a sudden meeting or revolutionary love. Others may experience some sudden turbulence that results in breakdown - an opportunity for depth and reconstruction.

Hi everyone! I know that we have discussed Saturn + Neptune on a few segments, but I thought this combination certainly deserved it's own deep dive. I've been witnessing individuals who are spiritually confused, longing, or uncertain. It seems that there is a pull away from "woo woo" spirituality, and a draw towards religions with more structure and regulations. (Has anyone else seen the rise in Christianity?) While I believe more people will be searching for meaning through things like astrology and tarot, I believe people are burning out on the "get rich quick" approach of some spiritual leaders. Saturn is rules, regulations, discipline, and consistency. Neptune is illusion, idealism, and dreaminess. These two planets joining forces will impact us all differently on a personal level... Some may be having "ah ha" moments, seeing a situation for what it is, or experience a crack in rose colored glasses. Others may be feeling confused, aimless, or stuck in a rut and unsure on how to move forward. Globally, we will see chaos and confusion with rules, structure, and government. Saturn is the government, after all. The truth will feel more elusive as accusations get thrown around. With so much confusion and uncertainty, this gives a beautiful opportunity to tap into Viveka, or discernment, the compass of the heart. Learn how to best navigate the energy of this transit here.
