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.

It feels like nothing is changing… but it is.There's a moment on the journey of growth that can feel downright cruel.You're showing up. You're doing the work. You're staying present, using the tools, praying through the pain…And still, nothing seems to be changing.Not fast enough. Not visibly enough.And that old voice whispers, Why bother?If that's where you are right now, I recorded this week's episode just for you.✨ It's not that you're doing it wrong.It's that you're in the middle — the sacred, quiet stretch where the muscle of change is forming before it's visible.In today's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I talk about what it means to live in that middle space — the part where you're sometimes still falling into old patterns, but you're also starting to notice them and choose differently.I'll share a story from one of my coaching clients — a woman who, in the face of emotional shutdown and discouragement, kept showing up for herself and her relationship. She didn't get it “right” the first time. Or the second. But she kept coming back. And her courage was building something far more powerful than perfection.This episode is your reminder that:Falling into the hole doesn't mean you're failingYou can regulate, recover, and re-enter with loveAnd your heart is already protected by a God who is holding you as you growSo if you're weary from doing the work and wondering if it's making a difference — please don't miss this one.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 we are discussing one of the heated moments of 2025... Though I suppose it seems we've had a lot of those this year. Covid, 9/11, the beginning of escalation between Israel and Palestine - Mars and Ketu were conjunct in every incident. Mars and Ketu are notorious for stirring controversy and bringing about dangerous accidents or attacks. From mountaineering accidents to sting ray tragedies - we see this combination again and again act as a catalyst. How can WE best move through this time with grace?In addition to Mars/Ketu, we will see Saturn and Neptune conjunct in the same degree. We have already seen a terrible oil spill off the coast of Kerala, let's hope that there is nothing else like this! We further discuss transits and what to anticipate.

In this week's episode of Abundance Thursdays, Vinney “Smile” Chopra and Gualter Amarelo unpack a truth that most people overlook: your job is not the goal—it's the tool. If you're grinding 40+ hours a week but not building real wealth, you're missing the point. Your W2 income should buy back your time—not just pay bills.   In this candid, energetic conversation, Vinney and Gualter share:

What if the clutter in your home is quietly draining the energy from your marriage?In this week's episode, I sit down with decluttering and mindset coach Kerryn Simmons to talk about how the spaces we live in impact how we feel in our relationships. We explore what “clutter capacity” means, how childhood messages about organizing shape us, and how couples can begin to talk—without blame—about what they want their home to feel like.We also talk about what to do if your spouse isn't ready to have that conversation (yet) and how powerful it can be to take the first steps yourself.Whether you're constantly cleaning up or you've been avoiding the piles altogether, this conversation will help you start creating a home that fuels your connection instead of hiding it.

In this segment, we discuss the main transits of June and how to best navigate them on a global and personal level... June is one of the most intense months of 2025 and it is important to understand the cosmic energy so that we can have more awareness and navigate with intelligence. This is a month where Mars is finally out of debilitation - offering energy, will power, and courage. However, with the addition of Ketu, we need to be mindful to avoid excessive risk and to use our energy wisely. Venus in Aries offers redemption with light hearted play, connection, and a free spirit...Find out more about June here!TRANSITSVenus will be in Aries until June 29thMercury in Gemini: June 6th - June 22ndMars in Leo: June 6th - July 28thFull Moon in Scorpio on June 11Saturn and Neptune at 7 degrees of Pisces: June 14th - August 12thSun in Gemini: June 14th - July 16thUranus Square Mars: June 14thNew Moon in Gemini: June 25thJupiter Combust: June9th - July 9thYOUTUBE:Mars + Ketu https://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

When your marriage feels heavy or disconnected, it's easy to believe you're the only one going through it.You look around and assume other couples must have it figured out,while you quietly carry the weight of your own disappointments behind closed doors.But here's the truth I wish more people knew:Suffering in silence won't move you forward.Healing begins when we step out of isolation—when we allow ourselves to be seen.When we realize we're not the only ones hurting.When we reach for help, not as a sign of failure, but as an act of courage.In this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I'm sharing something that's been on my heart:the quiet, life-changing power of doing this marriage work with others—in community, with guidance, and without shame.There's something incredibly healing about hearing someone else say,“We're struggling too.”Because suddenly… you're not alone anymore.If your marriage feels stuck right now, I want you to know:there is hope.You're not behind. You're not broken.You may just be missing the support you need to take that next step.And that next step could be as simple as scheduling a conversation.Listen to the episode and hear more about why this matters—and if you're ready to explore what working together could look like, I'd love to talk.Because this kind of transformation doesn't happen in isolation.And you don't have to walk this road alone anymore.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!

You open up about something emotional… and your spouse completely misses it.They try to fix it, change the subject, or talk about someone else instead.And just like that—you shut down.This is how emotional intimacy quietly unravels in marriage. Not with a big fight, but with a missed moment. A break in connection. A silence that grows.In this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I'm sharing a very real moment from my own marriage—something that happened just days ago—that brought this all into sharp focus.We talk about:

Have you ever been in a moment with your spouse where you felt a swirl of emotions?You're hurt.Frustrated.Disappointed.But underneath all of it—you know that you still love them.That's exactly where I found myself the day after our 20th anniversary.I had planned the evening. Jeff gave me flowers… a day late.And the way he handed them to me? Let's just say it didn't land the way he probably hoped.It would've been so easy to let my disappointment take over.To shut down.To keep a little distance as a way of protecting my heart.But I did something different this time.Something I've been practicing—and helping my clients practice too. And in today's episode, I'm sharing what happened, what I learned, and how it might shift the way you navigate these moments in your marriage too.

You still feel… stuck.If that sounds familiar, this week's episode was made with you in mind.In it, I share a story from my own life that helped me see how easily we can lose heart — not because we've failed, but because we've lost sight of where we're going.What if you don't need to work harder in your marriage?What if you simply need a clearer vision of what you're working toward?In this episode, you'll discover:Why trying without vision leads to burnoutHow emotional “quitting” often happens long before we even realize itThe missing ingredient that can make your commitment feel meaningful againA gentle challenge to reimagine what's still possible for your marriageIf you've been tempted to give up — or you've quietly stopped hoping — I want to invite you to listen.This might be the episode that helps you begin again… from a whole new place.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!

This week's episode is a tender one — one that honestly surprised even me as I lived it.Inside the episode, I share a brand-new break that happened in my marriage recently — a quiet, significant shift that exposed a dynamic I've lived with for years, often without fully realizing how much it impacted my heart.You'll have to tune in to hear exactly what happened. But more importantly, I want you to listen because this same dynamic could be quietly playing out in your marriage too — leaving you feeling lonelier, less connected, or even less drawn to your spouse without fully understanding why.In this conversation, I'll walk you through:Why emotional intimacy often feels so elusive (especially with partners who think love means protection)How emotional distance silently erodes connection and attraction over timeWhy feeling sadness or longing is not a sign of weakness — but a sign that your heart is still alive and hopefulHow you can begin softening the walls between you and your spouse, even if they feel high right nowIf you've ever wondered why you feel like you have most of your spouse—but not all of them—this episode is especially for you.Your dream of deeper connection isn't out of reach. And sometimes the first step is simply naming the ache you feel inside.Come listen. Your heart will feel less alone.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!

We also explore recent events, Jupiter's transit into Gemini, and the turbulence to be expected in the upcoming months (and when it will settle out!). We also discuss Akshaya Tritiya, it's meaning, and how we can participate.

In many marriages, there's a quiet, often invisible dynamic that keeps one person shrinking and the other wondering why they feel so alone — even when both partners care deeply.It's called the “one down” position.And it's more common than you might think.Sometimes it looks like always apologizing…Or saying, “You deserve better than me.”Or hiding behind a wall of withdrawal and silence.But underneath, it's all rooted in shame — a belief that “I'm not enough,” or “I don't belong in this relationship as I am.”In this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I'm diving deep into this dynamic:

This combination will occur between March 29, 2025 - May 29, 2025 according to the True Node system. This combination does not get that great of a reputation... for good reason! The Boston Marathon Bomber, Iraq War, assassinations - it carries a lot of heaviness, weight, anxiety, and fear. Some consider it Pishach Yoga, which refers to a demonic energy or malevolent spirit. In this segment, we explore the combination practically while also offering helpful insight into WHY it may not play out so terribly on a personal level.

Have you ever gone through a season in your marriage where things felt… quiet? Not in a peaceful, cozy way — but in a Where did we go? kind of way. Maybe you're in that season right now. Conversations feel dull or distant. You're both going through the motions. You're wondering if the connection you once had is gone for good. This week on the podcast, I'm sharing a reflection that's been stirring in my heart during Holy Week — one I believe might speak directly into that space. It's about Good Friday.The silence.The sorrow.The waiting. And how that part of the Easter story — the part most of us would rather skip — might just mirror what you're walking through in your marriage. But here's the hope:God is still working in the silence.He is not done writing your story.And nothing — not even the parts that feel lifeless — is beyond redemption. This episode is a gentle invitation to sit with the pain, listen for God's whisper, and believe again in the possibility of resurrection… even in your marriage. 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 are going to explore the asterism of Mrigashira. Mrigashira is associated to the deer, Soma, and is governed by the planet Mars. Mrigashira is all about the chase, the hunt, and is ever seeking - driving this nakshatra to be passionate, driven, and adventure oriented. Seeking the Truth, they will read and research endlessly until they are a wealth of knowledge.

Let's say you bought something this week—a new pair of shoes, a few Amazon “add to cart” moments—and didn't tell your spouse. Not because it was a big secret, but because… what's the point, right?Guess what...Most of us aren't intentionally lying in our marriages.But we're often not fully telling the truth either.We leave out the small stuff—spending, frustrations, unmet needs—because we're trying to avoid conflict or protect ourselves from judgment. But those little omissions? They slowly pull us away from the very intimacy we crave.This week on AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I'm talking about what it really means to be open and honest in your relationship—and why this kind of vulnerability is one of the most important things you can practice.We'll explore:Why we hold back (even when we think it's “not a big deal”)How hiding creates cracks in the foundation of your marriageWhat it looks like to start being more honest in small, safe waysHow to prepare your nervous system for the discomfort of truth—and the connection that followsA real-life example of how one couple began opening up about their spendingIf you've ever felt like you and your spouse live beside each other more than with each other… this episode is for you.And if you're ready to take this deeper in your own marriage, book a Courageous Love Conversation with me.

I know the journey to a healthier, more connected marriage can feel slow. Sometimes it feels like you're doing the work, showing up differently, choosing patience, and yet… nothing seems to change.Maybe your spouse still reacts the same way. Maybe old patterns resurface. Maybe you wonder if all this effort is even worth it.I want you to stop for a moment. Breathe.And hear this: The work you are doing matters.Even if you can't see the full transformation yet.Even if your spouse hasn't changed in the way you hoped.Even if you've stumbled along the way.Healing and growth don't happen in an instant. They happen in the quiet, unseen moments—the ones where you choose to listen instead of react, where you pause before frustration takes over, where you remind yourself that change is a process, not a destination.And if you've put the work down—if you've felt discouraged and stopped trying—it's not too late to pick it back up.Because here's the truth: Every small effort is shaping the marriage you'll have a year from now.Think about that for a moment.What if, a year from now, you could look back and see that your patience, your persistence, your choice to keep going—despite the setbacks—created a deeper, more loving, more secure connection than you ever thought possible?It's not just possible—it's inevitable if you commit to the process.So today, I want to encourage you:Keep going, even if the change feels slow.Keep choosing love, even when it's hard.Keep believing in the marriage you desire, because it is within reach.And if you need support in this process—if you need someone to help you stay the course—I'd love to have a Courageous Love Conversation with you.You don't have to do this alone.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!

Marriage is full of seasons—some where you're both thriving, some where you're both struggling, and the hardest ones, where one of you is drowning while the other is doing just fine. In this episode, Tera, Echo, and Phyllis get real about what it looks like to stay connected when your partner is in a tough place, how codependency sneaks in without us realizing it, and why we were never meant to carry everything for each other. They unpack the guilt, the resentment, and the loneliness that can show up in these seasons, and share the tools that helped them stop fixing, start seeing, and actually enjoy their marriage again.Links and Resources:Book a discovery call for Overwhelm Overhaul: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/tera-wages/30min⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To download the Core Emotion Wheel: ⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/wheel⁠⁠⁠ To enroll in Foundations use the code PODCAST for 20% off: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/marriage-course-online⁠⁠⁠⁠ Book a coaching session with Dr. Glenn: ⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/marriage-help⁠⁠⁠ (If links are not working, please copy and paste connectioncodes.co to your search bar and look through our site menu!)⁠⁠_________________________________________________________________Connect with Echo Hill Vetter:Echo Hill Vetter's Substack | Letters from Nashville: ⁠⁠⁠https://substack.com/@echohillvetter⁠⁠⁠  Echo on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/echohillvetter⁠⁠⁠ Schedule 1:1 Coaching or Group Coaching with Echo: ⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/echohillvetter⁠⁠⁠ Echo's LinkTree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/echohillvetterChapters:00:00:00 – The Part of Marriage No One Prepares You For00:01:06 – Saying the Wrong Name, Every Time00:02:04 – When Life Drains You and Your Spouse Doesn't Get It00:03:40 – The Worst Thing You Can Do When Your Partner is Struggling00:07:03 – How We Accidentally Made Marriage Impossible00:11:50 – Your Spouse is Not Your Village00:24:18 – Codependency Feels Like Love—Until It's Not00:28:27 – The Silent Ways We Sabotage Ourselves00:29:06 – The Cost of Ignoring Your Own Body00:31:29 – The Difference Between Asking and Expecting00:33:50 – Speak Now or Resent Later00:35:42 – The Secret to Processing Without Over-Talking00:38:34 – Breaking the Patterns That Keep You Stuck00:49:15 – You Weren't Meant to Do This Alone00:52:12 – It's Time to Stop Pretending Everything's Fine

Have you ever wished your spouse would just see their part?You try to talk about the struggles in your marriage, hoping they'll acknowledge how their actions (or inactions) are affecting you. But instead, they dismiss it. Defend themselves. Maybe even turn it back on you. And you're left feeling unheard, unseen, and like you're carrying the weight of the relationship all by yourself.I know that feeling. I lived it.For years, I felt like I was the one always reflecting, always working, always trying to figure things out—while Jeff seemed… fine. It wasn't that he didn't care, but he wasn't seeing his part in our struggles. And because of that, I stayed in a protective stance, bracing myself for disappointment.Until something shifted.For the first time, Jeff admitted his own brokenness in a way I had never heard before. And in that moment, something inside me changed. My body relaxed. My heart softened. And I felt a sense of safety I didn't even realize I was craving.So I sat down with Jeff for an open, honest conversation about what changed.Why was it so hard for him to admit his own struggles before?What was actually going on inside of him when he resisted seeing his part?And what finally helped him get to a place where he could take ownership?I didn't hold back in this conversation, and neither did he.If you've ever wondered why your spouse doesn't seem to see their own contribution to the disconnection, or if you've been waiting (and waiting) for them to finally get it, this episode is one you need to hear.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!

Ever feel like you're the only one trying to improve your marriage?It seems as though you're constantly reflecting, adjusting, and trying to make things better—while your spouse seems unaware or unwilling to see their part? Maybe they shut down, get defensive, or act like you're the one making a big deal out of nothing.It's frustrating. Exhausting. And it can make you feel completely alone in the relationship.But why does this happen?Why is it so hard for some people—especially men—to admit their own brokenness?This week on the podcast, I'm diving into this question. Because when one spouse refuses to acknowledge their contribution to marital struggles, it creates a wall that keeps the relationship stuck. The other partner is left feeling unheard, unseen, and reluctant to change because why should they be the only one doing the work?The truth is, many people—men in particular—have been conditioned to see admitting fault as a weakness rather than a strength. They've been taught that being a “good” spouse means providing and protecting, not necessarily self-reflecting and taking emotional responsibility.And when they do start to see their part, it can feel overwhelming—like they're failing or disappointing the person they love. So instead of leaning in, they push back.In this episode, I'm unpacking:Why taking ownership of our flaws feels so difficult.How this resistance impacts the marriage dynamic.What creates safety for BOTH spouses to be honest about their struggles.And how even one person can start to shift the cycle in a healthier direction.But that's not all—I'm also bringing Jeff into this conversation.Next week, I'll be sharing a raw and honest interview with him about this very dynamic. We'll talk about what was going on inside of him when he struggled to admit his own brokenness, what finally shifted for him, and what he would say to other spouses who feel stuck in this cycle.This follow-up episode is going to be a powerful one—especially if you've ever wished your spouse could just see their part in the struggles.So first, listen to this week's episode to lay the foundation, and then get ready for next week's conversation with Jeff.Have you ever felt like your spouse just doesn't see their part in the struggles? 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!
