Cycles, Aug. 16, 2025: Solar Return and Restart of Effortless Reality Podcast
|
Hello Reader, My birthday passed just ten days ago, and the vibe of my life has shifted dramatically. You can glimpse the flavor of the year ahead by looking at your Solar Return chart—the snapshot of the sky at the moment the Sun returns to your birth position. I did just that for myself, and here’s what I found. Last year, both my Sun and Moon landed in the twelfth house—the domain of hidden work and behind-the-scenes effort. And indeed, I spent much of my time finding my footing in a new job and savoring family life. With my son preparing to embark on his college journey, it felt essential to spend every moment I could with him. This year, my Solar Return chart places the Sun high in the tenth house, right by the Midheaven—the realm of visibility and public presence. You don’t need to be fluent in astrology to sense the difference: the tone for the year has changed completely. And the Moon is in the third house of speaking and communicating. Almost on cue, I felt a sudden spark to resume my podcast. In a burst of inspiration, I created six new episodes and bundled them into a new season. Season 2 begins with a trailer you can listen to here. If you’d like to see what a Pluto transit can do in a single year, I recommend listening to two episodes back-to-back: the fresh Season 2 trailer and Engage or Release, the final episode from last season. The contrast says it all. Best, Tatiana

Hello Reader, Welcome back to Cycles. In just over a day, the Moon will reach fullness and enter Earth’s shadow in a total Lunar Eclipse. You may already feel the shift—last night it rose through the trees, stark in size and color, a vivid reminder that this is a powerful time for release. A Dream Practice Two nights ago, I asked my guides to heal subconscious trauma, guilt, and regrets while I slept. The Full Moon is ideal for release, so I thought: why not ask for the big help? Sure enough,...
Hello Reader, Well, Uranus certainly wasted no time making an entrance. Yesterday it crossed into Gemini at 0°, and just two hours earlier I got a call I never expected: a project I proposed last year was suddenly approved and fully funded—seven months after I’d written it off. That’s Uranus energy in action. Sudden, out of the blue, impossible to miss. Of all the slow-moving planets, Uranus is the one you feel most clearly because of its abruptness and surprise. Have you noticed any...
Hello Reader, Once again, it is that time of the year. That one, where we all collectively hold our breath and start creating long lists of "don'ts" - don't buy a new car, don't go on trips, don't schedule job interviews, etc. Yes, we are approaching the August 2024 edition of Mercury Retrograde. Don't know what Mercury Retrograde is about? Not to worry — here is an article from two years ago in which I explain it in more detail. This time, I am not in the mood to write avoidance lists....
