This month comes with a couple of astrological shifts that are quite significant. First, we have Chiron in Taurus starting on June 19 (after spending eight years in Aries), and then Jupiter moves from Cancer to Leo from June 30 till July 26, 2027 (I’ll focus on this transit in a separate blog post).

The Stories We Tell Ourselves: The Hidden Cost of a Fixed Identity
The stories we tell ourselves (and others) about ourselves come at a high cost. There is a version of you that you have been defending for years.

How to Stop Trying to Fix Yourself: Escaping the Self-Improvement Trap
Are you stuck in a self-improvement trap? Many of us have the desire to improve ourselves, our relationships, and our lives. I started on the spiritual path by going to psychoanalysis for years to better understand myself and my relationships. It eventually launched me into a deeper exploration of Consciousness and, when I was ready, spiritual teachers began to appear.…
