Aug 31st, 2025 2:30 PM

In this week’s podcast, I open with a brief solo eclipse season energy update - including key dates and collective messages of surrender, flow, sacred service, and responsibility as the Virgo–Pisces axis is activated. Then I’m joined by Charlotte Aidan of Red Fox Intuitive - a Virgo Sun & Moon intuitive who beautifully embodies the Virgo archetype of devotion, embodiment, and divine service. Charlotte is a medium and intuitive, rooted in her deep connection with nature and the symbolism of the Red Fox, who has dedicated years to developing her intuitive gifts. Through mediumship, she helps others access the interconnectedness of all souls, offering grounded, authentic, and compassionate insights. Her work is guided by a devotion to the well-being of the Earth, the spirit world, and the highest good of those she serves. Together, we weave a soulful conversation on:Charlotte’s journey of mediumship & the development of her giftsEclipse season (2025) forecast & core messagesSymbolism of the Red Fox & nature as a spiritual teacherVirgo magic: the body as a channel for divine messagesEmbodiment of the Divine & how Virgo roots Spirit into matterGrief & joy as twin flames - how polarity unifies usThis is an episode for anyone longing to reconnect with their intuitive body, to find Spirit in the everyday, and to remember that the sacred is alive within and around us.
