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.

The Hidden Cost of Being a People Pleaser: Your Inner Freedom and Power
Are you being a people pleaser? On the surface, people-pleasing looks harmless. You want to be polite, kind, or helpful.
