The Power of Presence: How Being Here Changes Everything

Midyear Cosmic Reset, New Moons, & Wounded Healers: Astrological Forecast Jun 19 - Jul 9, 2026

We're halfway through the year and the cosmos have a lot to say about it. Astrologer Adrienne joins us to break down a powerful three-week stretch of celestial energy that's asking you to stop, reflect, and own who you've become.   From the unaspected Gemini New Moon on June 14th (a rare, private conversation between you and you) to Chiron entering Taurus for a years-long deep dive into self-worth and security, to the Summer Solstice, a Capricorn Full Moon midyear check-in, and Jupiter moving into Leo, this is a season of transformation, celebration, and intentional reset.   We also explore what Venus in Virgo has to say about cleaning house, honoring the past, and upgrading your foundation, plus why Mercury still being in retrograde is actually perfect timing for all of it.   Grab your journal. It's time to ask the hard questions, celebrate how far you've come, and take center stage as the person you've been becoming all year.   Adrienne also shares details about her upcoming Chiron masterclass, so mark your calendars for July 26th! https://www.sageconnections.net/healing-with-chiron-in-taurus [https://www.sageconnections.net/healing-with-chiron-in-taurus]  Follow us for more and stay up to date on our latest services and classes!   MATGS: https://www.instagram.com/mysticsatthegrocerystore [https://www.instagram.com/mysticsatthegrocerystore]    Adrienne:  https://www.instagram.com/adriennebentley_/ [https://www.instagram.com/adriennebentley_/]  https://www.sageconnections.net/ [https://www.sageconnections.net/] Additional Astrology Readings and Videos [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC68UxMDyiUhQ1TwocmiKVuA]    Melinda:  https://www.instagram.com/cirquemelinda/ [https://www.instagram.com/cirquemelinda/] https://www.instagram.com/speakeasyreiki/ [https://www.instagram.com/speakeasyreiki/]  https://www.moodystreetcircus.com/speakeasyreiki [https://www.moodystreetcircus.com/speakeasyreiki]   Rosalyn:  https://www.instagram.com/twowolveswellness/ [https://www.instagram.com/twowolveswellness/] www.twowolveswellness.com [http://www.twowolveswellness.com] Free Meditations: www.twowolveswellness.com/meditations [http://www.twowolveswellness.com/meditations]  Elemental Energies Class: https://twowolveswellness.com/elemental-energies-class/ [https://twowolveswellness.com/elemental-energies-class/]  Elemental Energies: Summer Season Guide: https://twowolveswellness.com/elemental-energies-summer-season-guide/ [https://twowolveswellness.com/elemental-energies-summer-season-guide/]    00:00 June Cosmic Reset 00:48 Gemini Supermoon Intentions 01:21 Unaspected Moon Mirror Work 03:21 Chiron Enters Taurus 05:42 Applying Lessons Forward 09:12 Pluto Jupiter Tension 13:07 Cancer Solstice Illumination 15:23 Capricorn Full Moon Check In 20:29 Jupiter Into Leo 21:50 Mars Uranus Shock Awakening 22:36 Neptune Retrograde Review 23:41 Neptune Reality Check 24:46 Make It Tangible 25:58 Venus Enters Virgo 26:34 South Node Release 27:39 Chiron Worth Healing 29:35 Journal Your Reset 30:27 Midyear Reflection Talk 31:20 Collective Energy Signs 33:58 Listen Don’t React 36:17 Chiron Class Details 38:05 Services and Links 39:23 Closing and Farewell

Navigating the Dark Night of the Soul

Have you ever felt completely lost, disconnected from yourself, or like the life you built no longer fits who you are? You might be experiencing a dark night of the soul and you're not alone.   In this episode of Mystics at the Grocery Store, we dive deep into what the dark night of the soul really means: its origins in 16th-century mysticism (St. John of the Cross), how it shows up in everyday life through grief, loss, illness, and major life transitions, and how to recognize which stage you're in.   We discuss:   * The difference between depression and a spiritual dark night of the soul * How ego death leads to spiritual awakening and personal growth * Why you don't need to "fix" it — and what to do instead * Tarot wisdom: the Ten of Swords, the Death card, and what they reveal about transformation * Small, practical steps to take when you can barely get out of bed * How ancestral energy and inherited stories may be part of your experience   Whether you're deep in it right now or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers compassion, perspective, and a reminder that rebirth always follows the darkness.   Topics: dark night of the soul, spiritual awakening, ego death, spiritual growth, grief and healing, tarot wisdom, emotional healing, shadow work Follow us for more and stay up to date on our latest services and classes!   MATGS: https://www.instagram.com/mysticsatthegrocerystore [https://www.instagram.com/mysticsatthegrocerystore]    Adrienne:  https://www.instagram.com/adriennebentley_/ [https://www.instagram.com/adriennebentley_/]  https://www.sageconnections.net/ [https://www.sageconnections.net/] Additional Astrology Readings and Videos [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC68UxMDyiUhQ1TwocmiKVuA]    Melinda:  https://www.instagram.com/cirquemelinda/ [https://www.instagram.com/cirquemelinda/] https://www.instagram.com/speakeasyreiki/ [https://www.instagram.com/speakeasyreiki/]  https://www.moodystreetcircus.com/speakeasyreiki [https://www.moodystreetcircus.com/speakeasyreiki]   Rosalyn:  https://www.instagram.com/twowolveswellness/ [https://www.instagram.com/twowolveswellness/] www.twowolveswellness.com [http://www.twowolveswellness.com] Free Meditations: www.twowolveswellness.com/meditations [http://www.twowolveswellness.com/meditations]  Elemental Energies Class: https://twowolveswellness.com/elemental-energies-class/ [https://twowolveswellness.com/elemental-energies-class/]  00:00 Welcome 02:10 Defining the Dark Night 05:38 Process and Triggers 08:23 Origins and Ego Death 10:58 Ten of Swords Wisdom 13:27 Rebirth and the Knight 15:13 Advice to Past Self 18:39 Trust Yourself and Support 22:08 Raindrop Therapy Comb 22:44 Intuition Over Analysis 23:50 Take One Action 24:36 Small Steps Back 26:26 Hot Tub Acclimation 28:35 Golden Breadcrumbs 30:41 Layers of Suffering 31:36 Not Yours to Carry 32:34 Light After Darkness 34:47 No One Formula 36:29 Summer Sadness 37:37 Support and Farewell

Sound Healing, Frequency, & Chanting: How Vibration Impacts the Body

In this episode of Mystics at the Grocery Store, we explore sound and frequency through chanting, music, binaural beats, and sound healing. We share personal experiences, including early memories of singing and laughter, using ocean sounds during childbirth for calm and breathing, a powerful group screaming release practice in a Scottish castle, and transformative crystal bowl sound baths. And although we highly suggest exploring these techniques we also talk about the cautions about mixing frequencies, the idea of chakra-related frequencies, and using apps for hertz-specific tracks. We also reference some super fascinating studies on mantra/Om chanting affecting alpha/theta waves, cortisol, the vagus nerve, and MIT research on 40 Hz light and sound stimulation in early Alzheimer’s.
