Discovering the cosmic blueprint that shapes our lives can be transformative once we understand how to read the signals. In this riveting exploration of astrology, Elizabeth Winkler shares her deep knowledge of celestial influences and how they manifest in our daily experiences. We begin by examining Saturn Returns—those powerful transitional periods occurring roughly every 27-30 years that strip away our pretenses and force us to confront our authentic selves. Elizabeth vividly describes her own first Saturn Return as feeling "like a chicken being plucked feather by feather," a profound dismantling of identity that ultimately leads to rebirth. The episode breaks down the core elements of astrological understanding—from the four elements (fire, earth, air, water) to the three modalities (cardinal, fixed, mutable) that create the twelve zodiac signs. You'll learn why knowing your sun, moon, and rising signs offers a more complete picture of your astrological makeup than just your birth sign alone. Particularly significant is our discussion of Pluto's recent shift into Aquarius after 20 years in Capricorn—a transition with far-reaching implications for technology, human connection, and revolutionary thinking. This powerful planetary movement coincides with the rise of AI, potential advances in space exploration, and a growing awareness of our interconnectedness despite surface divisions. davidji shares a remarkable personal story about his encounter with a Nadi palm leaf reader in India—an ancient tradition that claims to hold written records of individuals' past, present, and future lives created thousands of years ago. This extraordinary experience raises profound questions about fate, free will, and how we navigate our destined paths. Whether you're an astrology enthusiast or skeptic, this episode offers practical ways to work with cosmic energies through lunar cycles and planetary awareness. Remember: we are literally made of stardust, spinning through space on this blue planet. Understanding these celestial patterns reminds us of our connection to something far greater than ourselves.

Welcome to our Season 3 Finale, where davidji & Elizabeth Winkler explore the magical fusion of passion, purpose & trust. What happens when a burned-out radio presenter discovers meditation and decides to blend it with comedy? In this captivating season finale, we're joined by the incomparable Dermot Whelan, who takes us on his remarkable journey from sleeping in his car between commitments to becoming Ireland's leading voice in mindful living. With refreshing vulnerability and his trademark humor, Dermot reveals the moment his body literally closed his throat while reading the news—an early warning sign his conscious mind couldn't yet recognize. "I was always very driven...but at the same time there was that feeling like I had one foot on the accelerator driving with passion towards my goals, and another foot on the brake." This powerful metaphor captures the struggle many of us experience when pursuing our dreams while battling self-limiting beliefs. The conversation delves into misconceptions about meditation, particularly among men who fear it might make them "soft" or less effective. Dermot flips this notion on its head, sharing how mindfulness actually clears away mental clutter, enhancing performance rather than diminishing it. We explore the unique power of humor as "a beautiful lubricant for easing people into places where maybe they wouldn't have naturally gravitated to"—a gift Dermot brings to his sold-out "Busy and Wrecked" tour across Ireland. Perhaps most profound is our discussion of identity and transition. After leaving a successful radio career at its peak, Dermot faced the disorienting question: "What do you do?" His advice for navigating such changes isn't about dramatic reinvention but rather "loosening your grip" on who you think you are. "That's enough. That's a place to be for a while where you haven't totally reinvented yourself...You're just letting go enough." The episode concludes with Dermot sharing his discovery of "Akasha"—space—and how creating moments of presence amidst our distracted world unlocks insights impossible to find while constantly busy. "The more we step into that space and make ourselves OK with uncertainty...the more we can just settle into our little cube of calm."
