TSM Episode 51: Energy Forecast, Astrology, and the Power of Transformation

In this episode of Triggers And Spiritual Medicine, Laura reunites with astrologer and spiritual teacher Hilary Harley for a deeply reflective and cosmic conversation on the intersection of energy, astrology, language, and transformation.

Together, they explore the intense energetic climate moving into November—a time calling for grounding, courage, and conscious preparation.

Laura opens with a Samhain season prayer, honoring the ancestors and invoking the healed and whole grandmothers—the wise ancient ones guiding us through these thresholds of profound change. She also shares insights from Spirit and messages received during her pilgrimage to Ireland, offering both warning and wisdom for what lies ahead.

Hilary provides astrological guidance through this rare alignment of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Aquarius—a once-in-a-generation cosmic reset urging humanity to awaken, mature, and rebuild. Laura weaves in tarot messages that echo the same themes of renewal and transformation, as both explore the evolutionary cycles of change unfolding now.

The conversation flows from cosmic to practical—touching on November’s energetic shifts, potential disruptions, and the importance of embracing challenges as gateways for growth. Together, they discuss sustainability, Earth reconnection, and the rebalancing of energies unseen in thousands of years.


✨ Topics include:

  • Why this is an incredible time for deep spiritual nourishment
  • The importance of emotional maturity
  • Samhain, sovereignty, and ancestral wisdom
  • The incoming Mercury Retrograde and its energetic lessons
  • Saturn–Neptune and Pluto in Aquarius: a cosmic reset for humanity
  • Generational healing and preserving elder wisdom
  • Working with darkness as fertile ground for transformation
  • Sustainable, long-term healing for both Earth and community

As Laura and Hilary remind us, true growth is not found in the light—but in our willingness to face the shadows with courage, authenticity, and love.

About Victoria:

She is a cheerleader at heart and not afraid to offer straightforward empowering messages. EVERYTHING is about perspective in astrology and interpretations vary from different schools of thought. She is mostly self-taught, but influenced by: Carl Jung, Dane Rudhyar, Jeffrey Wolf Green, Evolutionary Astrology, Alice Bailey, Esoteric Astrology, Melanie Reinhardt, Liz Greene, and many other brilliant cosmically attuned Teachers. She feels one of her great gifts is synthesizing many different streams of information and teachings into messages for the Highest Good without being confined by any one particular system. She primarily uses the Tropical Zodiac and Placidus house system – she feels it is the most accurate.

She has been a student of astrology and all things Metaphysical since she was a teenager, over 30 years ago. She’s always had a voracious appetite for Knowledge and Information.

She founded VICTORY ASTROLOGY in January, 2018. This space is meant to share her love of astrology and help teach others how to empower themselves by learning to understand the language of Astrology, rather than seeing it as a “Belief System” or religion. It is not.

ABOUT TRIGGERS & SPIRITUAL MEDICINE PODCAST:

Real talk. Let’s address the elephant in the room to the growing “sickness” in our society, address root issues and provide sustainable solutions.

We hope by addressing the intersectionality and connect the dots like a web of many of society’s challenges, we can help others understand the trauma infection that impacts all areas of life – addiction, domestic violence, racism, homelessness, sexual abuse, chronic health issues, cancer, environmental issues, climate change and more.

In this NEW collaborative program, we hope by highlighting these infected areas and what they share in common, a new perspective of solutions, healing, and resolutions can be birthed.

Each episode addresses a certain trigger while offering the spiritual medicine with at least 3 tips or actionable steps our listeners can take and implement.
