Overwhelm has become a kind of epidemic, and much of it is tied to collective stress — the kind we all absorb from a world in constant urgency, pressure, and noise. It’s easy to assume overwhelm is just being too busy or stretched too thin. But in my experience, both as a psychologist and as someone who’s done a lot of deep spiritual work, it runs deeper than that. Overwhelm is not just stress. It’s a signal. It’s the soul saying, “You’ve drifted too far from yourself.”

There was a time when I kept my fascination with astrology separate from my clinical work. Like many in my field, I was trained to see science and soul as separate languages. I didn’t talk much about the moon cycles I tracked religiously or the planetary patterns I noticed echoing through my clients’ emotional lives. But over time, I began to notice something: people were already living in rhythm with the cosmos. They were asking about timing, alignment, and meaning. I started getting questions like, "Which planet placement focuses on my needs?" because they were trying to understand themselves in a deeper, more symbolic way. Intuitively, they sensed there was more to healing than just labels and protocols. Eventually, I let astrology take a seat at the table.

Reconnecting with your soul isn’t always beautiful. A lot of the time, it’s messy. Confusing. Quiet. You might expect some lightning bolt of insight or a sense of peace washing over you, but more often, it starts with discomfort. A sense that something in your life no longer fits. The roles you’ve played. The relationships you’ve kept. Even the stories you’ve told yourself about who you are.

A birth chart is basically a map of the sky at the exact moment you were born. Think of it like a snapshot — where all the planets were, what signs they were in, and how they were relating to each other. It’s personal. No two are the same. And each of those planets represents something in your life.

There’s a growing curiosity these days about where modern medicine ends and something deeper and more intuitive begins. Many people are asking the same quiet question: Why do I feel this way when nothing seems “wrong” on paper? For those living with unexplained symptoms or chronic issues that don’t fit neatly into a diagnosis, it can be frustrating, even isolating.

Medical astrology offers a different way of looking at health. It doesn’t diagnose or replace medicine, but it does provide a symbolic map, a kind of cosmic blueprint of a person’s physical and emotional makeup. Based on the time, date, and place of birth, the astrological chart can highlight patterns and predispositions that often show up in the body long before they show up in a lab test.

Many Millennials and Gen Z are turning to astrology and tarot as part of their emotional and spiritual growth. Some people call it a trend, but I believe it’s much deeper than that.

Why do we keep ending up in the same kind of relationship? Why do we struggle with desire, or feel disconnected in moments that are supposed to feel close? What does it really mean to have a healthy, soulful sex life?

Working with teens in therapy isn’t always easy. One minute they’re opening up, the next they’ve shut down behind crossed arms and eye rolls. Between the mood swings, the rebellion, and the “you just don’t get me” energy, it can feel like you're speaking different languages.

Do zodiac signs show up differently depending on your gender?
