Evolutionary astrologer Laura Matsue breaks down exactly what the next four years will demand of you — psychologically, spiritually, and energetically — and how to move through the collapse of old systems without losing your center, your purpose, or your connection to what's real.
In this episode, you'll explore:
→ What the Saturn-Neptune conjunction and the Fourth Turning mean for 2026–2033 — and why old systems must collapse before anything real can emerge
→ Why political polarization is mass shadow projection — and how your unresolved parent wounds show up in your relationship with power structures, governments, and leaders
→ The difference between spiritual bypassing and actual embodiment — and why the people who grew up in chaos are the most equipped for what's ahead
→ Laura's journey from addiction and alienation to divine grace — and the moment that permanently changed her relationship with God
→ The shift from victim consciousness to warrior energy — what Neptune entering Aries means for individuation, fearless self-expression, and reclaiming your sovereignty
