The New You! May 2024
With all we went through in April, May has some special things in store for us! If we think of life as a series of initiations, many of us had quite a month of trials in April! Consider yourself primed for new and wonderful things.
May 18 and 23 we have some very special astrology. With Venus conjoining Uranus and a Jupiter cazimi May 18th, and Full moon in Sagittarius alongside Venus conjunct Jupiter sextiling Neptune May 23rd, get ready for some juicy goodness!
It's all set up for you, so just show up, have confidence, and be your best and most present self!
Congratulations on all your hard work. Good things come to those who pass tests with flying colors.

Full Moon in Scorpio Square Pluto + Making Self-Honoring Choices
This configuration calls us to go deep and look within and pulls us to make the changes that we have been avoiding.
Facing what we run from is the path through to more freedom, joy, happiness.
I hope it was a fruitful passage for you!

The Jupiter/Uranus Conjunction in Taurus April 20th, 2024
This episode is about another major Astrological event happening on April 20th: the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Taurus. The last time this happened in the sign of Taurus was in 1941.
These planets will come together every 12-14 years. The last time they met up was in Pisces in 2010. The meeting of transpersonal planets is always a big deal (uh, remember 2020?) They always signify collective themes and experiences.
I hope this episode gets you prepared and thinking about how to handle these experiences so that you can have agency during any potentially overwhelming event.

Post Eclipse Re-Cap
There is so much fanfare leading up to and during eclipse season, it may feel like a bunch of noise, especially the day after when maybe "nothing" happened and you are left thinking..."Well what was the all the fuss about anyway?".
The truth is, these moments do unfold over time. The significations, the mythos can be so loud it is subtle. It really takes slowing down and taking it all in to let it sit and marinate, and just ALLOW the changes, and all the information to sink in.
This is not an overnight event. This is about change over time. Let it sink in. Let it come in waves. Let it trickle in, and let yourself remember, and notice nuances and new things!
The art and science of Astrology is very vast. It is happening ALL AROUND US. We can point to it, but it is HERE. ALWAYS. Let yourself take. It. In.

Commitment to Self: North Node in Aries
April 8th brings the North Node Eclipse in Aries. This is a powerful one! Not only will it be fully visible in North America, it will also be exactly conjoining Chiron, the wounded healer planet at the exalted degree of the Sun (19 degrees) in Aries, where the Sun is already exalted (most powerful).
On this episode I talk about what this all means for us and our evolution. It's a very powerful month, seeding themes of Self and healing, as well as how we can review our communications as Mercury is retrograde April 1-25.

I hope this episode was helpful, and thanks again for tuning in!
* One correction: the nodes actually do move in a clockwise direction around the zodiac wheel, the planets, however move counter clockwise. FYI! And this is episode 188 not 187!
Releasing Unhealthy Relational Dynamics: South Node in Libra
I talk about what that means today, as well as how to work with the South Node in Libra energy. It's all about releasing unhealthy relational dynamics. This is a great time to do a relational audit in your life:
Who supporting you?
Who is sabotaging you?
How do you feel around each person?
Do you feel good or bad?
This is a great time to take appropriate action like setting boundaries, releasing misaligned connections, and exercising protection if the above seem to be difficult or not possible (ie: with an ex you are co-parenting with).
It is up to each of us to evaluate which dynamics are life-giving and which ones are life draining.
Again, any:
-Judgment
-Shaming
-Pressuring
-Manipulation
-Dishonesty
that you receive in a relationship is unhealthy for you. Yes, it is all too common, but it is actually degrading your life force to be involved in such relational exchanges.

Welcome to Eclipse Season!
We are in eclipse season! This episode gives you some info about what to expect. Mercury will be retrograde as well (April 1-25), so it's going to be a bumpy ride!
All this to say, you are now prepared. Use the astrology as a rudder. Work with the transits and the changes. You can win when you know and can plan ahead.
Take good care of yourself as we go into this season!

How to heal when the body Shuts Down
Sometimes life gets hectic and we start to shut down. This is our body telling us we have too much going on and we need to rest and self protect. Often we can try to push through, thinking that we have to work harder, or "what will people think" if I can't keep up, etc.
Actually, your most important job is to take care of yourself!
When going into shut down do these three things:
1. Do not be hard on yourself.
2. Practice Self care and eliminate extra obligations
3. Adopt the world view that "things can wait" and remember to not attach so strongly to the world you have created. You can change your circumstances by changing our mind and your values.

Thanks for listening and be good to yourself!
Don't Settle
Many people don't think it's an option not to settle. We are taught to compromise, be grateful for what you have, play it safe, etc. This causes a lot of people to settle for things they don't actually want, or things that don't make them happy.
What? Happiness? What a luxury! We are here to work and survive.
I say NO.
We are here to feel fulfilled, to thrive, to deeply enjoy our life and benefit others by living in joy. Deep cultural conditioning asks us to sacrifice. Please, do not settle for someone else defining your life.
This short episode is a reminder that you can have what you want, you just have to know what it is, and believe it, and know you are worth it.

To live a bigger life: Take more risks
I am talking about something that I have been struggling with: taking risks. The world has gotten a lot more divided, lonelier, and screen driven. It's easy to hide and avoid and not get out there. I never thought I'd have to say this, but I know I need to take more risks, and maybe so do you!
I talk about all the real reasons why taking risks might be hard to do. The context of these times, specifically making it difficult and not so safe sometimes to meet new people.
If you are needing to stretch and grow, taking risks is the only way. Our comfort zone can become a rut if we aren't careful.
I hope this episode helps you to consider going out there and having some new experiences!

Preparing for Eclipse season!
It's over a month away, but eclipse season is fast approaching. We have a Lunar Eclipse in Libra March 25, and a Solar Eclipse in Aries April 8th.
Eclipses bring endings and beginnings often coupled with sudden and swift changes. The idea? To shake everything out of our lives that is not in alignment, to bump us back onto our highest path even if that means things crumbling to the ground.
Relationships, jobs, locations, that are not aligned with us will come into question. The Aries/Libra axis is about heading toward our self fulfillment (Aries at the North Node) and releasing partnerships and contracts that our not serving us (Libra South Node).
This means getting very clear and what's for you, and what is not meant for you.
I'm airing this now to help you get out ahead of the curve and start to ask the deeper questions about your life:
*Is this relationship in alignment?
*Is my job in alignment?
*Am I living in the right location?
Our soul needs us to be making choices that make our heart sing. It's time to get aligned so you can stay on track.

February is a month of Transformation!
This month, Pluto takes center stage. With conjunctions to Mercury (Feb 5), Mars (Feb 13) and Venus (Feb 17), there's a lot of transformation going on!
When planets conjoin, their energies blend and merge. Pluto joining with any planet takes the energy of that planet down...down...down into an underworld journey. Pluto transforms, stokes up survival issues, and brings us into a deeper relationship with life and ourselves.
Mars and Venus will also conjoin on February 21. It's a conjoining kind of month! Be prepared for big transformations to be ignited in your life.
February 9th we enter the year of the Wood Dragon on the new moon in Aquarius. This will also kick us off into the mystical Dragon year.
If you want assistance in navigating all these energies, you can join my mailing list here. I send out a weekly newsletter and you can learn about working with me through Astrology, Tarot readings, Life Coaching, Yoga, and Wellness consults.
Wishing you beautiful transformations this week and beyond!
Thanks for tuning in to Aquarian Times 🙏
Different Applications of Astrology
Hi! Today I wanted to offer an expansion of your understanding of the applications of Astrology.
Many people think of Astrology like a personality test, and that is one micro use of the zodiac and planetary archetypes.
But, Astrology also has macro uses: like the study of timing, which is a universal experience.
Astrology is used to understand the timing of events, such as the global pandemic of 2020.
When we understand that Astrology has these universal uses, and that it governs the cosmos, not just our own psyche, we can feel and know the validity of this vast and comprehensive science, and have faith and trust in its movement and the accuracy of how it measures not only time, but space, place and circumstance.
If this interests you, you can learn more as well as work with me through signing up for my mailing list here.
As always, I hope this information was helpful, and I wish you a wonderful week!
Synchronicities and Shifts into the New Age + Astro Forecast
Today I wanted to do a recap on our experience of the shift of Pluto into Aquarius. It can be so easy to always be onto the next thing. Today, let's reflect. I also offer a few more transits to complete the week's astrological alignments. Always something new and interesting! Get in touch by joining my mailing list here. Learn more about working with me through Life Coaching, Astrology readings and the Tarot. Thanks for listening, and be well!!
Ps. I mis-spoke in the episode: When we are talking about the nervous system, it is the Sympathetic state that has us up-regulated. The Para-sympathetic is what calm us down. Just to clarify :)
Also, here are the 4 rules of The Procrastination Myth:
1. It's not supposed to be done
2. It's not supposed to be done by me
3. It's not supposed to be done right now
4. My mental vision is too complex
Enjoy!
How Pluto moving into Aquarius affects the Nervous System
Pluto will move into Aquarius with the sun on January 20th, 2024. This is a major shifting of the guards.
Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn Sept 1-Nov 19, 2024, and then will resume in Aquarius for a twenty year stay.
This is major!
I talk about what Pluto represents, and how this will affect our nervous systems.

A non-episode
Today, let's just take a break.
This week I have a non-episode.
Go lay down, stare out the window, or listen to your favorite music.
Let's slow down and have a happy slow new year.

2024: Year of the Wood Dragon, An "8" year + Integrating Asteroids into your Natal Chart
This is a fun one!
I talk briefly about this year being the year of the Wood Dragon, as well as the 8 energy (2+0+2+4=8) being about PROSPERITY.
Then I focus on integrating five key Asteroids into your natal chart readings!
I describe how the Asteroids Chiron, Ceres, Juno, Vesta and Pallas show up in your birth chart, as well as the point Black Moon Lilith.
All of these energies help deepen our understanding of different aspects of ourselves that we may not be consciously aware of.

This is just a little bonus episode to ring out the old year.

Do you feel different?
Older?
Wiser?
Wishing you great growth and revelations, more self love, grounding, trust, and contentment.
Thanks again for listening in to Aquarian Times, and I wish you a blessed new year.

Mercury's Retrograde Journey December 2023

Here is the play by play:
Duration:
December 12- January 1, 2024
Location: in Capricorn until December 22, when it goes backward into Sagittarius (it will re-enter Capricorn January 13)

Dec 22nd Mercury meets the Sun (cazimi!) and goes into Sagittarius: Speak your truth & Shine
Dec 26 Mercury squares Neptune: Apply caution and practice boundaries
Dec 27 Mercury conjoins Mars: Spice? Conflict? Practice Kindness and repair

(Don’t forget that Mercury is still in a “retroshade” for a few weeks after the retrograde period...)
Happy Sailing!

Divine Timing
When following astrological transits, we can confirm that everything happens in Divine Timing. It is easy to have regrets, second guess and over think events. But what if we just let go of all that energy and trusted that things are happening exactly as they should.
This frees us up, and helps us know a greater hand is at play.
I hope this short message arrives in divine timing for you :)

Your inherent Nature
In Astrology and Ayurveda we have tools to better understand our nature. Both of these systems work elementally. We can understand our constitution, our elemental make-up.
This helps us know ourselves as we aspire to grow and change, but also to accept the parts of us that do not change.
This episode is about exploring the difference between changing and accepting ourselves. Both are helpful.
I hope you find this information useful!

Set Yourself Free
This episode blends two concepts together:
"letting go" and taking back agency over our life.
I am calling it "set yourself free", and yes, we all need to do this as we head into the new year!
Our ability to enjoy our life is equal to our ability to release the ideas and beliefs that may actually hold us hostage. What we think we know may not really be useful for us at all.
Learning to steer our own ship, think independently, and release outdated perceptions can really change our lives.
I hope this episode was helpful!
You can sign up for my mailing list here to receive my weekly newsletter.
As for exact Pluto dates:
Pluto will enter Aquarius January 20 2024, will retrograde into Capricorn September 1st, and return to Aquarius November 19th 2024 for the next two decades.

The Full Episode for the Thanksgiving holiday 2023
This week I recorded two versions of the podcast. This is the first, and longer version, that I decided was too long and a bit of a downer, so I re-recorded a more compact episode instead.
But today, I decided to release this episode too, in case you want to get in deeper in the dynamics of these aspects.
Listen to one or both, to help you unpack your holiday experiences this week!

Three tools for the Holiday Week
This week includes some challenging astrology:
The sun will square Saturn on Thanksgiving, and Mars will follow suit on the 25th.
This indicates some challenges with authority in our lives. No surprise, as this time of year can be rife with family drama!
I offer three tools to get through the week without a hitch.

What is your process?
Today I wanted to share an inside peek into a little process I went through. So often we are not privy to each other's internal processes. But we can learn so much when we see how other people think and make decisions.
With love and without judgement we can learn so much!
Here's to your process 🙏
How to be YOU
This episode explores the challenge many people face in just being themselves. Why is this so hard? I break down some reasons why we have difficulty being ourselves, and what to do about it.
Sometimes, unless you have given it much thought, all of this can be very elusive.

Cross-Quarter Check-in
It's a very full moment in the year. Coming off eclipse season, witnessing Israel, and now celebrating the cross-quarter holidays of Halloween, Day of the Dead and All souls day. It's so full I don't want to add anything!
So, let's just check in.
How are you?
How is your body?
How is your spirit? Your mind?
What do you need?
How do you feel?
Are you on track with your goals and dreams?
It's a good time to sit, journal, take time in nature, and feed yourself well.

Thank you for listening.
Learning to Press Pause
During eclipse season we are advised to press pause. The reason being, is that a lot of energy is shifting and we don't know how things will get shaken up. It's a good time to hunker down and let things unfold.
This weekend we have our second eclipse, a Lunar eclipse in Taurus on October 28th. This eclipse features the planets Jupiter, the Moon and Uranus opposing Mercury, Mars and the Sun.
Something needs to be said, in a firm and direct way. It needs to be exacting, sudden and will feel amplified given the energy of these planets.
Just know that this is by design, and trust that whatever is happening is for the best. If you find that you are needing to speak a truth, this may happen even beyond your plan or control. But this is something that needs to happen.
As you move forward, try to ease back on "figuring everything out". Press pause on that part of the action, rest, take care of yourself and see what comes to you.

Being You is Enough
This week I want to honor what is going on in the world, specifically in Israel. It is a tender time and many people are feeling greatly affected by the violence that is rippling into all of our lives. It is devastating and horrific, so I want to hold space for those feelings to arise.
My message this week is just about being enough. We are so driven to excel and succeed. We are rarely honored for exactly who and where we are. Today just take a moment to remember that being you is enough.
I get a little emotional on the episode today, and I hope this gives you permission to do the same.

Grounding into Chaos: A Nervous System Crash Course
This week I am offering a crash course on the nervous system. This information is vital to understand how to navigate our own systems when they become dysregulated, either by current situations, or something from the past.
In the episode I also correlate the five response states to the doshas in Ayurveda:
Vata: Air/Ether, & Pitta: Fire/Water correlate to the sympathetic response, and
Kapha: Earth/Water correlates to the freeze and dorsal responses.
Understanding our system elementally helps ground us into all of this as a nature-based and natural response to life.
In the episode, I offer tools to help regulate in each state, including the tool of tapping (EFT).
To listen to my episode with EFT practitioner, Amy Piper, go here. Find her @tappingfortruth.
These tools and information came through a course I am taking on the nervous system with Sarah Baldwin @sarahbcoaching. Thank you Sarah!

Beginning or Re-engaging a yoga practice: Interview with Alison Smith-Starr
This is a throw-back interview I had with (then) Alison Smith (now) Alison Smith-Starr, founder of Kanda Yoga School.
The interview took place in 2013 or 14...when I had left my teachers in the bay area, was teaching quite a bit, and felt the need for some guidance in my practice.
Since then, almost ten years ago, much has happened, and this episode is a call to find or re-engage in a yoga practice in these times of immense acceleration on the planet!
To make it simple, the constants of a yoga practice consist of:
1. Stillness
2. Breath awareness
3. Structural (postural) Integrity
In my patreon membership I will offer a video about structural integrity to get you started on your mat.
Come join me there at www.patreon.com/aquariantimes to find out more about beginning or re-engaging in your yoga practice!

How to Clear Your Energy
How to handle burn-out + New Moon Forecast
September 14th is a new moon in Virgo. I go over this new moon chart, including the concurring aspects of Mars opposing Chiron, Mercury opposing Saturn, the new moon trining Uranus and opposing Neptune, and Venus squaring Jupiter (oh my!). Always so much going on in the stars.

Managing Projections
Even if you don't know them by name, we all participate in projections. A projection is simply a lens with which to view something.
All of our lenses have been colored by something: experiences, opinions, ancestral lines, wounds, triumphs. But sadly these projections are not always accurate and can get us and other people into trouble.
This episode names the process of projection, discusses ways to work with it once we become aware, and encourages us to use our power of awareness to create more positive experiences through presence + love.
This is a delicate subject, but one that needs to be called out and examined. Projections are truly the elephant in every room!

How to find balance (Ayurvedic focus)
Hi There!
Thanks for coming back to the podcast! I have a new intro for you this week. I hope you like it :)
This week I am talking about the importance of finding balance in our lives. It really is something we have agency over. It is something we can drastically impact with our choices and awareness if we choose, to find a more balanced, peaceful, functional, sane, healthy life. If you are after any of these things, seeking a state of balance is a great place to start!
I talk about the Ayurvedic doshas (Vata: air/ether, Pitta: fire/water, Kapha: earth/water), as well as gunas, or qualities that we can use to detect our state of balance.
Using: Hot/Cold, Wet/Dry, Fast/Slow you can self-diagnose your tendency for imbalance, and begin to remedy these areas of your life.
It is not rocket science, and tons of solutions are available for you!
You can now become a member of my patreon page: www.patreon.com/aquariantimes to support the podcast and learn about all the things I talk about on the show.

Do you know your worth?

Can you expand to receive more?
That is the question this week. The assignment is to create a vision board: define and call in what you want. And then practice RECEIVING and holding it. Deserving it. Keeping it.

Re-Air: Are You Triggered?
I feel this episode is timely, not only for me, as I explained, but for a humanity that seems to have become an entitled, narcissistic, intolerant mess.
I am shocked at how people seem to think it's ok to treat each other. It seems it's only getting worse and we all have to find ways to deal with it. It's no wonder mental health issues are exploding, as the social atmosphere is pretty toxic.
I hope this episode helps to validate your feelings, and help give you tools to deal with life on earth. My go-to has always been kindness/peace. But I feel I am driven to dig deeper and access my fire/anger in order to protect my peace. Wow, it has really come to this.
Sorry world...sorry we humans are so un-evolved. It is a tragedy, when we could have so much potential.
Ps. Sorry for the sound quality in the intro...it's a bit scratchy.
How to Let Go
Letting go is one of the most challenging things in life. We hold on out of fear, scarcity, and lack based in our wounding from the past. If you look at nature, trees must let go of their leaves, and snakes must shed old skins. Embracing change and being willing to let go is how we grow in life.
In this episode, I share where I am currently letting go, how to successfully interact with your intuition, and the importance of timing in letting go. I also talk about this current Venus retrograde cycle in the sign of Leo, July 22-September 3rd, in which you can focus on updating and adhering to your values, enabling you to release what is no longer in alignment with them.
You can still find me at my website www.juliabernbaum.com until August 5, 2023.
I hope this episode is helpful for you!
Work on YOURSELF, not Your LIFE
This week I have an astro report, followed by an episode about working on yourself, not your life.
What does this mean?
Our life is an amorphous, transient, ever-changing thing. But OURSELF is our permanent residence in this life.
Instead of focusing on things we can't control and are always changing, let's turn the focus back to building a stronger, happier, more aware and resilient YOU.
How to work on yourself in six easy steps:
1) Practice somatic awareness: Notice how your body feels and what it needs
2) Become aware of Pattern Recognition: What recurring themes are you experiencing and why?
3) Learn to track your MOOD by understand the six basic emotions: anger, sadness, fear, joy, disgust & surprise
4) Track your mental activity: The pace, as well as the content
5) Check if you are able to RESPOND rather than REACT in situations and circumstances
6) What is your RECOVERY TIME when you have a set back? And what is your recovery process?
When we are more interested in building a stronger self, we get less thrown off by the details of our life, and indeed we can create a better life from a stronger self.

The Paradox in Life Coaching
Hitting a Wall...and What's Beyond it
This episode is about what's happening in our lives when we "hit a wall".
Often times it has to do with our level of honesty with ourselves, as well as how authentically we present ourselves to the world.
We came here to be our unique blueprint, but throughout our lives we can dumb ourselves down, conform, contort, mask and hide.
This episode is my exploration of seeing where I had begun to do this in my life, how and why it happened, and my process of witnessing a layer of this dissolve.
Our whole journey is about reclaiming and coming home to who we are. It is only then that our lives will feel in sync with who we really are, and we can experience true fulfillment.

An Urgent Solstice Message
Our planet, our people, are in dire need of healing. I am feeling it really strong right now, the pressure on this heightened Solstice day.
We need to wake up and start to treat each other better. We need to communicate and work together.
I hope you use this message as a sign to take some action. We are all needed to show up more for ourselves, each other and this planet.
And we are needed now.

Understanding your Aspects
This week I'm talking about "aspects" of our personality, as shown in your birth chart. In Astrology, the ways the planets aspect each other, in different houses and signs, reveal different parts of our nature that can be hard to see, understand or acknowledge without the aid of this handy little map. Get in touch to get your own map decoded in an offering I'm calling "Understanding your Aspects". I will look at your chart and send you a detailed breakdown of all your planetary aspects and what they mean for you. This can be really helpful to understand your life purpose, your relationship patterns, your job, health and passions. Just go to www.juliabernbaum.com to find out more about this offering, and about Life Coaching, Tarot, Astrology, Yoga and Wellness sessions. Thanks again for listening!
Practicing Radical Acceptance
Acceptance is often the last stop on a long journey of struggling to change, improve, up-level, and heal ourselves. What if instead of insisting things be different, we tried to radically accept ourselves, our lives, our loved ones, even our planetary conditions. Acceptance does not mean giving up, being futile or being passive. Radical actions are welcome! But, the energy that we use to resist life can be used to restore our own systems to a better version of stasis.
Try it.
Our assignment for the month of June is to radically accept our lives. All of it. With ease. With grace. Without resistance.

May you be well.
May you be at peace.
