Welcome to Season 7 of the podcast.
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the transformational three-year Saturn in Pisces transit—one of the most important astrological events of the decade. This powerful planetary shift invites us to reflect on what has ended, what we've outgrown, and where we are being called to rebuild from a more soul-aligned foundation.

Before we even touch on the astrology for the week, we explore the emotional and spiritual heaviness rising to the surface—what many of us are feeling as a call to slow down and turn inward. This is the energy of shadow work, inner healing, and the sacred restructuring of the self.

We also connect this moment to the influence of Chiron, the wounded healer, and how this energy may be revealing what is ready to be felt, released, and fortified. This episode is an invitation to align with the cosmic flow, do the deep emotional lifting, and root into your spiritual resilience.

If you're navigating grief, emotional breakthroughs, or seeking a deeper connection to your soul path—this episode is for you.

Welcome to another episode of Real Talk With The Spiritual Bestie. This episode covers astrological transits for the week of April 28th- May 4th with a heavy focus on the energy of the Pluto Retrograde and what you NEED to know NOW.
