Soft, Earthen Futures

In this episode, we step into Virgo Season: a time often mistaken for perfectionism and productivity, but at its core, about integrity, rhythm, and alignment. With eclipses and the South Node activating Virgo, we’re being asked to release old habits of nitpicking, over-managing, and organizing ourselves around other people’s standards.

I share how Virgo Season invites us to keep creating even when things feel messy or unfinished, to honor grief as part of our creative intelligence, and to build systems that actually support us in a world that is unraveling. We’ll explore what it means to continue believing in your vision in the midst of global crises, and how Virgo teaches us to craft with precision and care rather than performance.
