Getting Married this Summer?


It may not be as fun to plan as the wedding venue, invitations and attire, but marriage can result in changes affecting essential tax issues that need prompt attention following the wedding:

Name. If your name has changed, report it to the Social Security Administration (SSA) so that the name on your Social Security card matches the name on your tax return. To make this change, file Form SS-5, “Application for a Social Security Card,” available from www.ssa.gov.


Tax withholding. Both spouses must furnish their employer(s) with new Forms W-4, “Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate.” This is because combined incomes may move taxpayers into a different bracket. Search www.irs.gov for the IRS Withholding Calculator tool to help you complete the new Form W-4.



Filing status. Marital status is determined as of December 31 each year. Spouses can choose to file jointly or separately each year

The only Bird that dares to attack an Eagle is a Crow. But the Eagle never fights back, here's why...

Not everyone around you is meant to fly with you. 🦅

Some will doubt you. Others will try to pull you down.

Like crows, they’ll peck at your peace — with criticism, gossip, and noise.


But here’s the truth: eagles don’t fight crows.

They just fly higher... until the air gets too thin for the crows to follow. ☁️⛰️


No need to argue. No need to explain.

Just keep rising. Stay focused. Stay silent.


Because the higher you go, the less noise there is —

And the fewer people can reach you. 🚀


Let your growth be your response.

Let your results speak louder than words.


Keep soaring.


Have you felt confused, worried, and disoriented about the current state of the world? In the cosmic scheme of of everyday life we have been subjected to an unprecedented onslaught of outer planet change. This having occurred in less than a year (see timeline below) makes it logically understandable that there is widespread disorientation. This article explains the changes. And, at the end of the day the Universe is doing what it is designed to do: Change. I conclude with a humble attempt to offer a couple suggested ways to cope with this tsunami of Change.

The Overview of Changes


Pluto, ruler of 8 th House of Transformation, entered Aquarius on November 19, 2024


• Neptune, ruler of 12 th House of Idealism, entered Aries on March 30, 2025


• Saturn, ruler of the 10 th House of Life Purpose, entered Aries on May 24, 2025 


•Jupiter, ruler of the 9 th House of Spirit entered Cancer on June 9, 2025.


• Uranus, entered 11 th House of Groups and Mass Communication, Gemini on July 7, 2025


Pluto in Aquarius: Pluto, the planet of transformation and power, is now in Aquarius, and it will stay in this sign for about 20 years. This marks a profound transformation on the societal level. Aquarius is a sign of the collective, technology, and progress, and Pluto in Aquarius will continue to break down and rebuild structures related to group identity, technology, and social justice. Over the next couple of decades, expect radical changes in how we organize society, distribute power, and interact through technology. Pluto in Aquarius brings the potential for a revolution of individual rights, collective power, and the way we relate to communities. Expect transformations in global social movements, the role of technology in our lives, and how communities form and interact. This transit is likely to lead to innovations in governance, collective decision- making, and the role of digital platforms in shaping our collective future.

Neptune in Aries: Neptune is now in Aries and it will remain in this sign until 2038.


Neptune’s influence is one of dreams, spirituality, and illusion, while Aries is about pioneering, courage, and immediate action. Neptune in Aries can inspire a surge of idealism around personal identity and assertiveness, but it may also blur the lines between personal fantasy and reality. People might become inspired to chase big dreams and take bold actions, but there is a risk of confusion or self deception about what is truly possible. This transit encourages a deeper exploration of personal purpose and can lead to a redefinition of what it means to be an individual. There’s potential for new forms of spiritual expression, and for some, it may spark a journey toward greater self-awareness or the pursuit of artistic goals. However, people should be cautious not to get too caught up in unrealistic ambitions or lose track of their true desires.


Saturn in Aries: Saturn, the planet of discipline, responsibility, and structure, is now in Aries. This is a dynamic and challenging placement because Aries is bold, assertive, and action-oriented, while Saturn prefers slow, steady progress and structure. When Saturn moves through Aries, it challenges us to direct our energy in disciplined, constructive ways. We are asked to take responsibility for our personal initiatives and assert our independence in structured ways. This transit will inspire people to take charge of their lives, focusing on leadership, self empowerment, and forging new paths. However, it can also lead to frustration, as Saturn’s restriction may feel like a roadblock to Aries’ impulsive nature. The key will be balancing the need for action with patience and understanding that true success comes from effort that is strategically planned and executed.


Jupiter in Cancer: Jupiter, the planet of expansion, growth, and abundance, is now in Cancer, where in it will bring focus to the home, family, emotional security, and nurturing. Jupiter’s expansive nature in Cancer encourages us to grow emotionally, to find comfort in our roots, and to seek fulfillment in our personal lives.

This transit often emphasizes the importance of home, emotional connections, and domestic well-being. Jupiter in Cancer also calls for growth through empathy, compassion, and emotional intelligence. This is a time when

we may feel called to nurture others or to build our emotional foundations. It can also be a time of strong intuition and creativity, as Cancer is a highly intuitive sign. People will likely seek to expand their emotional and familial relationships, which could lead to growth through deeper connections with loved ones or a reconnection with one's heritage.


Uranus in Gemini: Uranus, the planet of innovation, rebellion, and sudden change, is currently in Gemini. This placement brings a wave of transformation to how we communicate, think, and process information. Uranus in Gemini is all about revolutionizing the way we connect with others through technology, media, and education. It’s a time when new forms of communication, especially in the digital age, are rapidly emerging. The internet, social media, and artificial intelligence are likely to experience major disruptions during this period. Uranus in Gemini encourages innovation in the way we learn, share ideas, and approach intellectual pursuits. There may be a rise in unconventional thinking, with people questioning established ways of thinking

and opening themselves to new ideas and technologies. Expect rapid advancements in technology that affect how we communicate, access information, and engage in global discourse.


What Does This Mean for Our Future?


We can expect the following key themes to shape the coming years:


1. Transformation of Society and Technology (Pluto in Aquarius): Radical changes in technology, collective power, and social structures will redefine our global systems. Expect innovations in how we organize communities and work together for the common good.


2. Spiritual Awakening and Individual Purpose (Neptune in Aries): There will be a rise in the pursuit of individual ideals, though this may come with challenges of confusion or disillusionment. Spiritual and

creative breakthroughs could help define new paths for personal growth and expression.


3. Empowerment through Personal Leadership (Saturn in Aries): We will be encouraged to take initiative and establish personal goals, but with the awareness that success requires effort, discipline, and

structure. Leadership, self-motivation, and independence will be key themes.


4. Emotional Growth and Security (Jupiter in Cancer): As we expand emotionally and seek deeper connections with home and family, we will be encouraged to build foundations of emotional security and nurture relationships that support our personal growth.


5. Innovation in Communication and Technology (Uranus in Gemini): Expect rapid advancements in digital communication, education, and social interaction. New technologies and methods of connecting will reshape how we think, learn, and engage with the world.


This is clearly a powerful time of growth, transformation, and revolution. The combined influence will reshape the future in ways that demand we evolve, adapt, and think critically about how we interact with both the world and ourselves. You may find it helpful to repeatedly affirm to yourself that you and the human collective will get through this. Two potentially helpful guides are to: 1. Assure yourself that, despite your utter befuddlement. the Universe is, perhaps, in some completely un-seen way, in order. And 2. To comfort yourself, say the Serentiy Prayer.

Woven Within : Mapping the Invisible Threads Between Body, Belief, and Spirit

A Weekend Immersion with Seane Corn in North Miami, FL

September 5-7, 2025



We’re shaped by invisible threads—experiences held in the body, beliefs etched in the mind, and spiritual truths just beneath the surface. In this weekend immersion with Seane Corn, we’ll explore the energetic throughlines that connect body to emotion, belief to soul, and personal story to something far more universal.

This is both a physical and spiritual experience. Yoga becomes the map, breath the guide, and self-inquiry the compass. Through movement, meditation, breathwork, and reflection, we’ll trace the patterns that shape us and return to what’s true.

Join for the full weekend or drop in for a single session. You’ll be supported in cultivating presence, restoring balance, and uncovering the invisible pathways that lead you home to your Self.
