What are you orienting yourself around?
Mario Garza went deep and wide about Saturn in conversation with me on The Natural Wisdom Podcast. Mario, founder of Symbolic Studies, artist, and graphic designer shared his considerable research and wisdom about symbolism in general as well as Saturn in particular. Mario began by explaining the problems we see in so many conversations about symbols, and why his research is founded in a traditional approach: there is a great deal of picking and choosing associations between things “out there”, as at the circumference of the circle, with no reference to a center of origin. To truly understand a symbol (and life), we need to know the center around which we orient ourselves. Among other topics, we discussed - * Symbols as bridges; * The importance of finding your own sacred center; * The main principle of Saturn as the return to center, and how it has become the scapegoat in so many places today; * The association of Saturn with Judaism, Zionism and Israel in today’s politicized world; * The “solidification of the world” and fall from grace behind so many crises today. The author Mario recommends for a deep study of symbolism is René Guénon, including his book “The Crisis of the Modern World”. You can find links to all of Mario’s publications on his website, including his wonderful podcast Symbolic Studies, which offers sweeping episodes covering the Zodiac signs each month: https://www.symbolicstudies.com In our online program starting next week, Reclaim Your Life with Saturn, Tammy Roth and I will be guiding people into a direct connection with Saturn. We’ll combine astrology and family constellations to support re-writing the stories creating tension and limitation, and preventing us from fully honoring ourselves. Registration closes Sunday night, October 4th and we begin on Friday, October 9th! Mario Garza is a lifelong artist and graphic designer of twenty five years currently living in the Pacific Northwest. Over the decades Mario developed a serious interest in visual, archetypal and esoteric symbolism. Mario has integrated a number of topics in his research including: The tarot, mythology, astrology, etc. His passion project, Symbolic Studies, was created as an outlet to explore these topics starting with the signs of the zodiac as a loose foundation. Watch our first conversation about Saturn here: Watch Mario’s conversation with his (then-fiancé) wife Michelle on “The Lost Lore of Saturn” that first piqued my interest in Mario’s work: Reclaim Your Natural Wisdom is a reader-supported publication.

Unleash Your Creative Power
Friend, mentor and astrologer Emily Trinkaus joined me today on The Natural Wisdom Podcast to talk about the unprecedented planetary configuration of the moment. With all three outer planets in harmonious cooperation with each other, and Jupiter in direct opposition to Pluto, the “basket” or “cradle” pattern is initiating us into a crisis point, and the possibility of a quantum leap in co-creating a “splendid relaunch of civilization". We looked at the chart of the alignments, plus the activation by next week’s Aquarius Full Moon. One major takeaway from our conversation is that the astro-energies are asking us to get in the game and unleash our creative power. We touched on a number of topics, including: * The historical rarity of the planetary patterns of 2026; * The emphasis on the sign of Leo and the invitation to create from your heart as you did as a child; * Why you might feel “in-between” or stuck at the moment; * The bottom-line necessity to find real trust and faith, especially in your creative ability to respond to the moment. “May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.” Rainer Maria Rilke in “The Book of Hours”, I.12 Emily and I each have a time-sensitive offer for you to check out. Registration closes today for Emily’s program on Chiron in Taurus: An Astrological and Shamanic Initiation. The journey begins tomorrow, July 22nd. And Kristine is offering a 10% discount on Saturn readings with the code CANCERSEASON through Thursday, July 23rd.

How will you invest your life force in the new reality? Cosmic Wisdom with Kristine and Emily
Friend, mentor and sister astrologer Emily Trinkaus and I had a lively conversation about the astrological alignments of the moment on The Natural Wisdom Podcast. This month, February, brings us the most significant planetary combination since 2020: the conjunction of Saturn (reality, structure) and Neptune (dreams, dissolution). The transition from Piscean energy to that of Aries feels, at the moment, like the “end of the end” prior to emergence of the new. We offered our best advice on how to navigate these times gracefully: * The rebirth we are undergoing at the moment is happening in three phases; * We are undergoing a sea change around how we understand and wield our personal power; * How you invest your life force has immense implications for the long term, both for you and for all of us; * Mercury’s retrograde in Pisces, which last happened in March of 2020, supports us to listen more deeply to our intuition rather than try to figure out what’s going on; * The Aquarius Solar Eclipse and the Virgo Total Lunar Eclipse, and the final months of the Lunar Nodes in Pisces and Virgo remind us to own our selves and our bodies; stay tuned in to the here and now while also envisioning the future we want to see. Emily is leading a six week workshop series on aspects in astrology, beginning on February 20. Kristine is offering a free workshop on Saturn as your spiritual ally and truth-teller of your soul next Friday, February 13th. Let us know how it’s going in the comments! This is a public episode.

The Knowing Field: Quantum Astrology (and everything) with Tammy Roth
I had the pleasure of talking with psychotherapist, Family Constellation facilitator, and quantum astrologer Tammy Roth on The Natural Wisdom Podcast today, just hours ahead of the Gemini Full Moon. I got to know Tammy and her work through a quantum astrology course she and Emily Trinkaus offered earlier this fall, and gained a whole new way to access and understand the planetary energies. In our conversation, Tammy shared her wisdom and experience accessing the “knowing field” to help people, covering topics such as these: * What does “quantum” mean and what is quantum astrology? * How a 12-step recovery program gave her insight into true healing; * Saturn and Pluto are never being mean; * The energies of the cosmos are waiting to be invited in through your attention; * The more you trust your intuitive knowing, the more it comes through; * As these new inner technologies come more online, we need places and communities where we can practice. Tammy referenced Barbara Hand Clow’s book “Alchemy of Nine Dimensions” as a useful reference for understanding 3D, 4D, 5D and beyond.

The Power to Liberate Your Mind with Emily Trinkaus
Emily joined me today for another episode of Cosmic Wisdom. We addressed the very busy week ahead as well as the longer term outlook of the next several months. A number of themes emerged from our conversation, including these gifts of the cosmic forces: * We have the power to liberate our minds from the programming and entrainment so prevalent right now; * We are in a concentrated period of endings in preparation for the new beginnings coming in 2026; * We are supported to heal old childhood stories and ways in which we haven’t claimed our right (and duty) to be fully ourselves; * The return of Uranus to Taurus plus Saturn and Neptune to Pisces reminds us of the spiritual dimension to the material realm; * The number of planets in water signs encourages us to feel deeply, and use the power of our emotions consciously in service to what we desire. Emily has a cool program coming in the new year to support people in their Saturn returns; make sure to join her mailing list to hear all about it. My energy forecast for 2026 is this Saturday, November 8th, free for paid subscribers, or register here for only $22.

The great turning of the ages, with astrologer Daniel Giamario
Daniel Giamario is the founder of the Turning of the Ages Mystery School, an astrology school dedicated to helping people navigate this time of the great turning through direct experience and participation with the earth and sky. As you may remember from my recent posts, I spent a week in September studying the night sky with TOTAMS at a desert hot springs in southern New Mexico, where Daniel had designed and co-built a stone circle on the hill. We talked about why that connection with the sky was so potent, and receiving direct transmissions from the sky and earth itself. In our conversation, Daniel explained how the night sky tells us where we are in the 26,000 year cycle of the ages, and touched on many other topics, including: * Your chart shows your purpose and intent in this lifetime, rather than a description of how you are; * One of the shadows of Aquarius is a materialism of consciousness, as evidenced by AI and other technological efforts; * TOTAMS teaches us to use technology after first apprenticing to nature; * Use the three worlds approach to view life through the lenses of the celestial realm, middle world and underworld to understand what’s going on and how to navigate; * We are in a period of greatest density right now, and we must use our spiritual will to perceive what’s really going on and respond. Find out more about Daniel and TOTAMS on their website, https://turningoftheages.com/ Join Daniel and TOTAMS at one of their upcoming events, in person and online In addition to two levels of membership in TOTAMS, the school has a number of individual offerings coming up, both online and in person: This coming Monday, November 3rd, join a free call with the water element branch of the school . In December, the school offers two days of online teachings and ceremony for the Solstice. In August of 2026, travel to Spain to experience the solar eclipse and learn about sacred relationship with Daniel and members of the school: https://turningoftheages.com/event/spain/ Find all their events on the calendar: https://turningoftheages.com/events/ Join Kristine for an online 2026 forecast and/or an in-person Solstice retreat Gain insight into the astrological shifts of 2026 next Saturday, November 8th, free for paid subscribers or $22 for the workshop only.

Learn more and register: https://kristinebackes.com/integrate-and-renew-at-the-solstice/ More about Daniel: Daniel Giamario has been an astrologer since 1969. After establishing his practice on a Rudhyarian foundation, he received a vision for this unique paradigm on a vision quest at Mount Shasta in 1981. The founding of TOTAMS is the natural evolution from the Harbingers of the Turning of the Ages and the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School. The paradigm includes mythic, psychological, and spiritual elements inspired by numerous global traditions, synthesizing the most important ingredients that are applicable to contemporary global humanity. This astrological system uses a Three Worlds Approach, inspired by global Shamanic traditions, offering techniques to navigate the Upper, Middle, and Lower Worlds. And above all, there is a strong emphasis on the experience and knowledge of the night sky. This is a public episode.

Pushing the boundaries of reality: a conversation with Chad Woodward of Kosmic Mind Astrology
The feeling I was left with after a very Neptunian conversation today with astrologer Chad Woodward was hopefulness. I have been reading Chad’s newsletters and articles for several years, and was honored to have him join me on The Natural Wisdom Podcast. Chad shared his considerable insights into the archetypal forces at work in our world today, including: * Chad’s historical research into activations of the Aries Point (0 Aries, the first degree of the Tropical Zodiac) led him to aptly name its energy as “pushing boundaries of reality”; * The legacy of the previous conjunction of Saturn and Neptune at this point over 2500 years ago has lessons and resonance for our time; * We are in an uncomfortable liminal space of growing into something new, and we won’t know what it looks like on the other side until we get there; and * This is all part of a natural process - we know how to do this. Chad Woodward is a professional astrologer and founder of Kosmic Mind Astrology, with nearly twenty years of experience exploring the symbolic language of the sky. His work combines psychological and evolutionary astrology with a profound appreciation for the rich history of astrology, integrating ancient techniques into a modern, integrative approach. Certified through Steven Forrest’s Apprenticeship Program and holding a postgraduate certificate in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Chad also draws on his background in cultural anthropology and other social sciences in his astrological research, exploring the complex interrelationship between cultural evolution and planetary alignments. In his counseling practice, Chad uses astrology as a tool for navigating the interplay of choice, creativity, karma, and destiny. His consultations invite clients to see beyond the materialist worldview and engage with the archetypal forces shaping their lives, uncovering deeper meaning, purpose, and potential for spiritual growth.

2025 as Vision Quest: A conversation with astrological counselor Danielle Polgar
On the eve of the Virgo New Moon, astrological counselor and sister Substacker Danielle Polgar and I explored the possibilities of this time together on The Natural Wisdom Podcast. Some of our favorite topics are the unpredictable energy of Uranus in Gemini and the shadows we are seeing of Pluto’s journey through Aquarius. We also covered a number of fun and interesting themes: * The “whirlpool effect” of the Lunar Nodes in our consciousness; * The power of building parallel structures rather than participating in mainstream narratives; * The fallacy of staying informed to stay in control; * And the power of living in the unknown. The New Moon squares Uranus, bringing the likelihood of surprises and breakthroughs, and leading us into eclipse season. Curiosity and wonder are superpowers for thriving in this time. Danielle will soon be offering an 8 week Initiation course; subscribe to her publication to be the first to know about it. Danielle Polgar is a trauma-informed astrological counselor who helps people navigate life transitions, access their innate power, and free themselves from limiting beliefs. Her work integrates astrology, psychology, and somatic awareness, offering an approach that is both compassionate and transformative. With a Master’s in Holistic Counseling Psychology and more than two decades of astrological study, Danielle bridges the roles of artist, healer, and teacher. She brings a creative and intuitive lens to her work, guiding clients to find meaning in their experiences, build emotional resilience, and align with the natural rhythms of life.

Uranus in Gemini: Attune to the field for greater possibilities
Emily Trinkaus joined me for another episode of Cosmic Wisdom on The Natural Wisdom Podcast today. In a wide-ranging and fun conversation, we explored some of the potential of the planet Uranus moving into Gemini, and the unprecedented alignment of the outer planets. Some of the insights we discussed included: * Why it is time for astrology to evolve; * Understanding that your agency is part of a tapestry of agencies of all beings; * How attuning yourself to the field (including your own) allows the right things to happen at the right time; * The need to be conscious of the spells (or curses) you are casting with the power of your words.

Rebirth Your Self: Cosmic Wisdom with Kristine and Emily
Disorientation. Extreme surrender. The dissolution of the old in preparation for what wants to emerge. These are some of the words and phrases Emily and I used today in our conversation on The Natural Wisdom Podcast. No matter how much chaos and change you have felt this year, it is just getting started. All the planets are moving direct for a short period of time now that the retrogrades of Mars, Venus and Mercury have come and gone. We have momentum for the first time this year to move forward on what we want to create. Emily and I spoke about the current astrological patterns and what they mean for us as individuals, including: * Neptune’s movement into Aries on April 30 for the first time in 165 years; * Saturn’s impending move to join Neptune in Aries on May 24th, for the first time since 1999; * The coming shift of Uranus into Gemini, and Jupiter’s departure from that sign; * And the once in many lifetimes chance to dissolve the old structures of your identity and worldview to bring your dream into existence.

Revealing Patterns with Caroline Lindon
Caroline Lindon is the creator of The Saturn Seminary, a Substack that probes the depths of human consciousness and dismantles unseen barriers. Saturn serves as her celestial guide, urging introspection and growth. Her work plants seeds of transformation in those willing to confront their inner darkness. Living with ADHD and dyslexia, Caroline brings a unique perspective to wider social dynamics by incorporating her training in fields such as astrology and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). She views these disciplines as tools for unlocking potential and reshaping reality. Her approach blends ancient wisdom with modern techniques to uncover hidden truths. Caroline Lindon of Saturn Seminary joined me in a conversation about a wide range of topics, from Saturn to neurodiversity. I began following Caroline after reading and appreciating her realistic take on Pluto’s move into Aquarius: and knew I wanted to have a conversation with her. Caroline writes on a variety of topics, including astrology. She has a background in neuro-linguistic programming as well as teaching and business transformation. As two “Saturn obsessed” people, we talked about why honoring Saturn as the traditional ruler of Aquarius matters; the need for taking back your personal authority; and how important it is to be in reality right now. We dove into several other topics: * Astrology as a way of revealing the patterns in your life; * What Pluto in Aquarius seems to have in store for us; * What “war” might mean in the modern world with Neptune in Aries; * Why neuro-divergence does not need to be “fixed”; * And the best advice for how to thrive in the midst of chaotic change.

The Epic Transition of 2025
Astrologer, friend and mentor Emily Trinkaus joined me today for our first conversation of the year on the epic astrology of 2025. We covered a lot of ground in our almost 90 minute talk, including: * The slow start to the year of first Mars, then Venus and Mercury retrograde, and how to use these inward-looking times to prepare for what’s coming; * The heavy emphasis on endings as well as new beginnings this year with so much happening at the juncture between Pisces and Aries, the respective last and first signs of the Zodiac; * The shift of the Lunar Nodes, the axis of the eclipses, into Pisces and Virgo and the imperative of spiritual integrity and embodiment. As always, the energies of the planets hold potential for conscious and empowered cooperation, as well as shadows. We talked about a number of practices for making the most of this exciting time in our lives. Plus, both Emily and I have a number of offerings to help you navigate and flourish.

Pluto in Aquarius and the rebirth of astrology
One of the disciplines associated with the sign Aquarius is astrology itself. This art and science studies the patterns of the cosmos and their connections to people and events here on Earth. Astrology has been growing in popularity for a number of years now, to the point that it is almost mainstream in many circles. But with that growth has come greater potential for abuse, as well. Pluto’s move into Aquarius will show us the shadows of astrology so we can work with it more consciously. In particular, Pluto highlights the ways in which power is used consciously in cooperation, or unconsciously as a form of control. In this podcast episode, I spoke about some of the ways astrology can be misused, and my commitment to sharing it as a way of supporting our/your power to co-create with the planetary energies. Some specific topics I covered were these: * Pluto’s shift from Capricorn to Aquarius won’t be all “rainbows and unicorns”; * What Capricorn - and Pluto’s time in that sign - is really all about; * How to work with Pluto in Aquarius in your own life. Want a read on how to cooperate with Pluto’s energies in your life? Book a reading with me! To receive new posts and support the podcast, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Exit the fear matrix this Scorpio season
Friday’s New Moon in Scorpio brings the tensions of the moment to a fine point. Scorpio is the season of both death and rebirth, as the light of the Sun begins to ‘die’ at the midpoint between the equinox and the solstice. With three separate planetary oppositions at the New Moon, there is plenty of potential for projection and it is quite evident in the US presidential campaign. Kristine explains the potential contained in the cosmic forces, and concludes with suggestions on how to exit the fear matrix in these intense times.
