Finding Your Hidden Treasure

The Naked Songwriter Podcast #44

The Chandra symbol for the degree of today’s total solar eclipse is “Monstrosities in glass jars in a sideshow.” But the higher vibration of this eclipse is “A hidden treasure waits to be found“.

This eclipse – which has come with a lot of pain and angst for many of us – is actually trying to help us connect the dots between the hideous and the sublime. Follow the secret map to the treasure inside your soul with me.

The Cosmic Imperative

The Naked Songwriter Podcast #43

Today’s Sagittarius Full Moon conjunct the Galactic Center caps a week of intense emotional waves, preparing us for the upcoming eclipses in Cancer/Capricorn. For those on the path of ascension, this alignment marks the beginning of a period of accelerated evolution.
Sagittarius Full Moon Galactic Center Podcast DK Brainard

We’ve been bombarded by high-frequency rays emanating from the center of our galaxy all month. This can feel overwhelming at times, but it is flooding our bodies and minds with higher-order frequencies that enable us to release massive amounts of old trauma, programming, and blocked emotions from the mind-body system.

In this podcast, I explore how the alignment of Mars and Mercury in Cancer opposition Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn has been building to peak intensity just in time for the release offered by today’s Full Moon.

Spiritually, the Galactic Center seems to function as a transmitter of Source energy. Scientists are discovering that – even in 3D reality – the GC is incredibly powerful and mysterious. In addition to shooting particles out at greater than the speed of light, the GC possesses a well-defined structure that looks curiously like a 3D rendering of the infinity symbol.

Sagittarius Full Moon Galactic Center DK BrainardNASA scientists recently discovered “a previously unseen structure” at the center of the Milky Way – two gamma-ray-emitting bubbles that extend 25,000 light-years north and south of the galactic center.

“The bubble emissions are much more energetic than the gamma-ray fog seen elsewhere in the Milky Way and appear to have well-defined edges,” according to NASA. “The structure’s shape and emissions suggest it was formed as a result of a large and relatively rapid energy release – the source of which remains a mystery.”

What We Can Learn About Manifesting from the Libra Full Moon and the 2019 Jupiter Retrograde

The Naked Songwriter Podcast #40

Jupiter retrograde 2019 astrology podcast

 

“How do we overcome the monkey mind?” How do we tune out the collective angst – or the difficult emotions in our relationship – and get back into the flow of abundance and joy?

This question shows up in the degree symbols for the April 19 Libra Full Moon. There’s a lot of planetary change happening with Jupiter stationing retrograde on April 10, Saturn about to go retrograde, and Mercury soon to be joined by Venus  in impulsive, action-oriented Aries.

The answer is found, as usual, just beneath the surface of ordinary awareness. In this podcast, I share some easy-to-use strategies that can help you stay sane and keep creating the life you want even when the whole world around you seems bent on self-destruction.

Plus, acoustic renditions of a Palace Brothers favorite and an original ballad about riding the bus.

The Apothecary of Desire

The Naked Songwriter Podcast #39 – Libra Full Moon March 20 2019

Libra Full Moon astrology podcast 2019 - "The Apothecary of Desire"

The Apothecary of Desire

The new astrological year kicks off with a Libra Full Moon opposition Chiron in Aries. This supermoon happens just hours after the spring equinox with the Sun and Chiron conjunct the Aries Point, where the collective consciousness intersects with our personal awareness. The symbols for the Libra Full Moon are all about finding buried treasure – but the nature of the treasure might just surprise you.

I explore the ongoing Pisces Mercury Retrograde in light of Chiron’s shift from Pisces into Aries. A lot of grief is in the ethers, and a lot of ‘loose cannon’ psychic energy is flying around: sensitives be aware!

Plus, Uranus in Taurus, new music and the potential for instant manifestation. As John Sandbach writes of the degree symbol for the March 20 Libra Full Moon: “Desire and need combined with pure intent can create their own fulfillment spontaneously.”
