This month marks the beginning of something beautiful—our new monthly astrology series with the luminous Natalie Holbrook. Each moon cycle, we’ll explore how the celestial weather is shaping our inner and outer worlds, helping you align more deeply with your purpose, power, and path.

Natalie is a Western astrologer known for her soul-centered approach that blends ancient wisdom with practical tools for modern life. She specializes in guiding entrepreneurs, creatives, and spiritual seekers into deeper alignment through the birth chart—and this conversation is a portal into that magic.

We begin with the rhythm of the Moon and how honoring its phases can recalibrate us to a more embodied, intuitive, and grounded way of living. Natalie unpacks the energy of Cancer season, inviting us into ancestral healing, emotional reclamation, and deep inner nourishment.

The weeks ahead are buzzing with energetic shifts. The New Moon in Cancer arrives June 25, infused with expansive Jupiter and the final notes of Uranus in Taurus. Mercury transitions into bold Leo, Venus glides into curious Gemini, and Mars moves through detail-driven Virgo. Uranus crosses into Gemini on July 7, closing an eight-year cycle. A grounding Full Moon in Capricorn and Saturn’s retrograde through Aries and Pisces round out the cosmic choreography. Emotions, money, self-worth, systems, voice, and vision—everything’s in motion.

What if your most powerful transformation came not from doing more, but from letting go?

In this intimate and deeply resonant conversation, Ash Spires invites us into a portal of remembrance—where leadership is redefined, the feminine is reclaimed, and trust becomes a living, breathing practice. Once a high-achieving entrepreneur operating from ancestral patterns of overgiving, Ash found herself unraveling the systems she built. But she didn’t stop—she surrendered, softened, and stepped into a whole new way of leading.

What follows is not a story of collapse, but of rebirth. From sacred rest and ancestral pilgrimage to the radical act of receiving care, Ash doesn’t just talk about feminine embodiment—she lives it. She shares what it looks like to build a business that honors your cycle, walk away from systems that no longer serve, and allow the body to lead. This episode offers embodied insight into what’s possible when we move at the speed of trust, lead from our inner wisdom, and remember the sacred in our everyday rhythms.

In this profoundly moving episode of Enter the Portal, we welcome artist, ritualist, and author Day Schildkret — the visionary behind Morning Altars — for a heart-centered conversation about the art of slowing down, creating in nature, and transforming grief into beauty.

What began as a solitary ritual in the aftermath of personal loss has grown into a worldwide movement. Sitting beside a eucalyptus tree one morning, grieving the death of his father and the end of a relationship, Day began arranging mushrooms, bark, and petals in the dirt — unknowingly giving birth to a global practice of ephemeral altars. Over time, these offerings became a language of remembrance, storytelling, and sacred connection with impermanence.

Throughout this episode, Day invites us to explore how ritual and creativity can help us metabolize grief into love. He shares how making art from natural materials — with no intention of permanence — can ground us in the present moment, awaken a deep sense of wonder, and restore our relationship to the living world. We also dive into the Seven Steps of Morning Altars, how the practice has impacted communities across the globe, and why creating something beautiful — even if it doesn’t last — is a radical act of meaning-making in uncertain times.

Whether you’re navigating a life transition, tending your own healing, or longing to reconnect with nature and creativity, this episode is a gentle but powerful invitation: begin where you are. Let your hands remember what your heart already knows.
