Eclipse Season & Self-Care

EP #336 - Eclipse Season & Self-Care - An interview with Kate Rose, Astrologer and Author

I’m so grateful to welcome Kate Rose back to Empowering Chats! I'm thrilled she said yes to a return interview.

Kate is an astrologer and author, and she’s celebrating the 1-year anniversary of her book, Written in the Stars—such a beautiful milestone.

In this conversation, we explore Eclipse Season and how we can stay centered amidst all the shifts happening in the world.

Kate and I both agree on the power of quiet time—no technology, just stillness—to really tune into what we’re feeling in our bodies. When we’re disconnected from ourselves, we can become numb, and our vibration lowers. Kate emphasizes that taking intentional quiet time to realign is one of the most powerful ways to create positive change—for ourselves and for the collective.

Whatever you focus on most is what grows. So it’s worth asking: “What brings me joy?” What can I focus on that feels good? The more peace and joy we bring into our lives, the more we raise our vibration—and the more resilient we become to the energetic noise around us.

We also touched on alchemy and the upcoming Eclipse Season. At its core, alchemy is transformation—shifting one form into another. Kate put it beautifully:

“Think of alchemy as the worst possible things you’ve done, or that have been done to you—and alchemy is what allows you to transform that into your greatest gift.”

We often feel shame around our darkness, but true alchemy is about moving through it and discovering the gifts hidden inside.

Kate explained that Eclipse Season is a time of acceleration—it gives us the opportunity to complete one chapter and move into the next, sometimes in just a matter of weeks. She loves this season for the invitation it brings to surrender and release what no longer serves us.

Eclipses are magnified energy. It’s so important not to meet them with fear, but with curiosity and openness. This particular Eclipse Season brings opportunities to reclaim your joy and peace.

In moments of fear or uncertainty, return to positive affirmations and pay attention to your self-talk. Our thoughts shape our reality—and we have the power to choose and shift them.
