This is a quieter week and that feels deeply appropriate. Across many spiritual and faith traditions, this is a time of holy pause—a moment when outer striving softens and inner meaning comes forward.Rather than dramatic turning points, the sky invites integration:What has been learned this year? What is ready to be carried forward with greater maturity, honesty, and care?Tuesday, December 23: Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune in PiscesThis is a tender, permeable alignment—beautiful, but not always clear. Venus in Sagittarius seeks truth, meaning, and heartfelt enthusiasm. Neptune in Pisces dissolves boundaries, blurs edges, and opens us to longing, devotion, and compassion.Notice where idealism slips into projection—or where longing replaces discernment.This can show up as:<ul><li>Romanticizing a path, a belief, or a relationship</li><li>Feeling disoriented about values or direction</li><li>Confusing spiritual yearning with actual alignment</li></ul>This aspect also opens deep compassion, poetic sensitivity, and soulful listening—especially when we resist the urge to decide too quickly. Let your values be informed by both heart and grounded truth.Reflection Question: Where am I being invited to soften my certainty without abandoning my discernment?Wednesday, December 24: Venus enters Capricorn (until January 17)As Venus moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn, the tone of relating and valuing changes noticeably. Capricorn is the sign of commitment, integrity and long-term responsibilityHere, love becomes less about possibility and more about presence. Values are no longer theoretical—they want to be lived.This is not cold or restrictive energy; it is maturing energy. Venus in Capricorn asks:<ul><li>What do I truly stand for?</li><li>What am I willing to tend over time?</li><li>What relationships, projects, and devotions are worth the effort?</li></ul>Choose what you are willing to build—not just what inspires you.Reflection Question: What values am I ready to embody more fully as we enter the new year?Saturday, December 27: Mercury in Sagittarius trine Chiron in AriesThis is a quietly powerful aspect—especially for reflection, conversation, and integration.Mercury in Sagittarius speaks in big-picture language: truth, meaning, and perspective. Chiron in Aries holds wounds around identity, courage, and the right to exist as oneself.Their harmonious trine supports:<ul><li>Healing conversations</li><li>Reframing old narratives about who you are</li><li>Speaking truths that restore confidence rather than inflame pain</li></ul>This is not about fixing wounds—it’s about finding language that honors the journey. Words can become medicine here, especially when they arise from lived experience rather than theory. Let your story carry wisdom, not self-judgment.Reflection Question: What truth am I now able to speak about myself that once felt too tender or risky?This is not a week for pushing forward.

#344-"They had Simply Increased Their Receptivity to Gravity"- Week of Dec. 22, 2025

Vision, Discernment, and the Turning of the Seasonal YearThis week carries us toward the Solstice through a series of profound conversations between Sagittarius vision and Pisces depth. Beliefs are tested, dreams are refined, and intentions are asked to mature. Rather than pushing forward, these cycles invite listening, discernment, and a quieter kind of courage as the light begins its return.Tuesday, December 16: Sun in Sagittarius square Saturn in Pisces The Seeker meets the Elder of ConsequenceThe Sun’s drive for meaning and expansion meets Saturn’s gravity in Pisces. Inspiration may feel slowed or questioned, yet this tension offers an initiation into wiser belief—vision that can endure uncertainty, limits, and time.Key invitation: Let your truth mature rather than harden or collapse.Reflection: Which belief or direction in my life is asking to be refined rather than abandoned?Friday, December 19: New Moon at 28° Sagittarius (conjunct Venus, square Saturn &amp; Neptune in Pisces)This New Moon is tender and demanding. Venus infuses the lunation with longing, values, and love, while Saturn and Neptune challenge fantasy, idealization, and spiritual bypassing. What begins now asks for honesty, humility, and resonance rather than certainty.This is a moon for quiet intention—listening beneath desire to what is genuinely alive.Key invitation: Begin by releasing illusion, not by forcing clarity.Reflection: What am I being invited to begin by releasing illusion rather than chasing certainty?Sunday, December 21: Jupiter in Cancer square Chiron in Aries The Great Nurturer meets the Wounded PioneerHere we meet the tension between caring for what is tender and trusting ourselves to act. Old wounds around confidence, protection, and belonging may surface—not to weaken us, but to restore courage through compassion.Key invitation: Let self-care strengthen bravery rather than replace it.Reflection: Where does tending my own vulnerability restore my confidence to act?Sunday, December 21 — Sun enters Capricorn (Winter Solstice  in the Northern Hemisphere)At the Solstice, the light turns quietly. Capricorn does not rush this moment—it commits. This is a threshold of orientation rather than action, inviting patience, responsibility, and a grounded sense of purpose that will unfold over time.Key invitation: Choose what you are willing to tend through the dark.Reflection: What inner responsibility am I ready to carry forward into the coming cycle?

#343-"Every One of Us is the Flame"--Week of December 15, 2025

This is a week of threshold tensions and clarifications as Mars activates the mutable waters of Pisces and the fiery vision of Sagittarius, while Neptune turns direct at the final degree of Pisces, completing a 14-year collective initiation into dissolving old paradigms.Meanwhile, Mercury completes its transformative Scorpio cycle and re-enters Sagittarius—shifting us from excavation to meaning-making. Expect friction, truth-revelations, and a growing sense that something long dissolving is now giving way to new direction.Mon Dec 8: Mars in Sagittarius square Saturn in PiscesMars strides toward new horizons, only to meet Saturn as Elder of Sacred Limits asking: “Is your fire aligned with your deeper responsibilities? Are you acting from vision—or from impulse?” Productive friction clarifies the difference between inspired action and escapist momentum.Wed Dec 10: Neptune turns direct at 29° PiscesThe Dreamer-Mystic pauses at the threshold of a whole era, whispering: “What illusions have fallen away? What soul-truth is emerging from the mist?” A thin-veil moment—intuition strengthens, old confusion clears, and long-dormant inspiration stirs awake.• Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus The Storyteller faces the Awakener for the third time since Oct 29, bringing closure to a revelation cycle. This is the final crack in the old narrative: the truth you’ve been circling now reveals itself plainly. Liberation from a stubborn mindset that has finally run its course.Thurs Dec 11: Mercury in Scorpio trines Neptune in PiscesThe Intuitive Communicator is blessed by the Mystic Waters of Neptune—insights soften, imagination becomes coherent, inner truth finds language. Clarity through compassion; insight through tenderness.• Mercury re-enters SagittariusSagittarius welcomes the Messenger home: “Now that you&apos;ve unearthed the depths, what is the meaning you are ready to articulate?” A new storyline begins—one shaped by wisdom, perspective, and possibility.Sun Dec 14: Mars in Sagittarius square Neptune in PiscesThe Adventurer meets the Mystic Fog of Neptune—action dissolves into mystery, purpose is tested, motives are purified. A humbling pause that reorients you from fantasy to authentic vision.• Sun in Sagittarius trine Chiron in AriesThe Solar Truth-Bringer offers warm recognition to the Wounded Healer (Chiron)—your courage and honesty illuminate a healing path for yourself and others. A moment of self-recognition that strengthens inner authority.• Mars enters Capricorn (through Jan 23) After the wild terrain of Sagittarius, Mars becomes a Builder as it enters Capricorn: “I’m ready to commit. What structure will carry my fire forward?” Direction crystallizes—discipline and purpose now support your momentum.Reflections:<ol><li>Where is friction or confusion revealing the need for clearer alignment?</li><li>What illusion, assumption, or outdated narrative is dissolving—and what truth is emerging in its place?</li><li>What meaning or wisdom arises now that I’ve moved through a deep emotional or psychic layer?</li><li>What commitment or structure wants to take shape to hold my emerging clarity?</li></ol>Podcast Poem: 5 AM in Pinewoods by Mary Olive<a rel="payment" href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=PR62BTYSEB5PQ">Support the show</a>Go to Sheila&apos;s website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

#342-"So This is How You Pray"--Week of December 8, 2025

This week brings a blend of illumination, deep integration, and expansive guidance as several personal planets align with larger cycles of change. Venus and Mars in Sagittarius open new pathways of meaning, while Mercury helps you synthesize emotional wisdom with renewed clarity. A Gemini Full Moon lights up fresh options and perspectives, inviting you to balance curiosity with deeper truth. Threshold energies are subtle but present: you’re being asked to see more, feel more, and choose with greater consciousness.Tues Dec 2: Venus in Sagittarius sextile Pluto in AquariusVenus (Relational One) in Sagittarius forms a harmonious sextile with Pluto (Transformer) in Aquarius. This alignment encourages courageous honesty, authentic self-expression, and a widening of your relational worldview.You may be called to explore conversations or connections that expand what you believe is possible. Pluto brings depth and discernment; Venus brings heart truth. Together, they open a threshold for freedom through deeper relational integrity.Reflection: Where is life asking me to expand my relational truth or express myself more authentically?Thurs Dec 4: Full Moon at 13° GeminiThe Gemini Full Moon shines a bright, multifaceted light on your inner and outer conversations, helping you to see the many pathways available to you—mentally, creatively, relationally. It’s a moment to celebrate what you’ve learned, name what you’re ready to speak aloud, and let go of outdated stories.The Full Moon radiates options, while the Sun in Sagittarius holds the wider arc of meaning. This axis invites you to stand at the threshold between information and wisdom, choosing the perspectives that help you grow.Reflection: What stories, assumptions, or beliefs am I ready to evolve?Fri Dec 5: Mars in Sagittarius trine Chiron in AriesMars (the Action-Taker) in Sagittarius supports Chiron (the Healer) in Aries.

Old wounds around visibility, assertiveness, or leadership may ease, offering space for initiatory courage.Reflection: What courageous action wants to move through me?Sat Dec 6 &amp; Sun Dec 7: Mercury (Direct) in Scorpio trine Jupiter in Cancer &amp; Saturn in PiscesWith Mercury now direct in Scorpio, your thinking regains depth and coherence.

Together they create a grand water harmony, helping you connect insights, intuition, and emotional truth.This alignment supports integration—name what you’ve learned from the recent retrograde, reclaim your inner knowing, and reorganize your priorities from a place of emotional honesty.Reflection: Where do I sense a quiet inner threshold inviting me toward a wiser, more aligned version of myself?Podcast poem: We Are a River by Lao Tzu<a rel="payment" href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=PR62BTYSEB5PQ">Support the show</a>Go to Sheila&apos;s website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

Together, they open a threshold for &lt;b&gt;freedom through deeper relational integrity&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;Reflection:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;em&gt; Where is life asking me to expand my relational truth or express myself more authentically?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Thurs Dec 4: Full Moon at 13° Gemini&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Gemini Full Moon&lt;/b&gt; shines a bright, multifaceted light on your inner and outer conversations, helping you to see the many pathways available to you—mentally, creatively, relationally. It’s a moment to celebrate what you’ve learned, name what you’re ready to speak aloud, and let go of outdated stories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Full Moon&lt;/b&gt; radiates options, while the &lt;b&gt;Sun&lt;/b&gt; in Sagittarius holds the wider arc of meaning. This axis invites you to stand at the threshold between &lt;b&gt;information and wisdom&lt;/b&gt;, choosing the perspectives that help you grow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;Reflection:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;em&gt; What stories, assumptions, or beliefs am I ready to evolve?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fri Dec 5: Mars in Sagittarius trine Chiron in Aries&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mars&lt;/b&gt; (the Action-Taker) in Sagittarius supports &lt;b&gt;Chiron&lt;/b&gt; (the Healer) in Aries. This trine releases momentum for &lt;b&gt;brave steps&lt;/b&gt;, renewed confidence, and action rooted in your essential authenticity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a beautiful day to move toward a new horizon—one aligned with your deeper truth. Old wounds around visibility, assertiveness, or leadership may ease, offering space for &lt;b&gt;initiatory courage&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;Reflection:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;em&gt; What courageous action wants to move through me?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sat Dec 6 &amp;amp; Sun Dec 7: Mercury (Direct) in Scorpio trine Jupiter in Cancer &amp;amp; Saturn in Pisces&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With &lt;b&gt;Mercury&lt;/b&gt; now direct in Scorpio, your thinking regains depth and coherence. This weekend, it forms supportive trines to &lt;b&gt;Jupiter&lt;/b&gt; in Cancer (the expansive nurturer) and &lt;b&gt;Saturn&lt;/b&gt; in Pisces (the compassionate structurer). Together they create a &lt;b&gt;grand water harmony&lt;/b&gt;, helping you connect insights, intuition, and emotional truth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This alignment supports &lt;b&gt;integration&lt;/b&gt;—name what you’ve learned from the recent retrograde, reclaim your inner knowing, and reorganize your priorities from a place of emotional honesty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;Reflection: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;em&gt;Where do I sense a quiet inner threshold inviting me toward a wiser, more aligned version of myself?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podcast poem: &lt;em&gt;We Are a River&lt;/em&gt; by Lao Tzu&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="payment" href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=PR62BTYSEB5PQ"&gt;Support the show&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Go to &lt;b&gt;Sheila&amp;apos;s website&lt;/b&gt; for information for transformational resources: &lt;br/&gt;https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.
