In this episode of The Holiday Survival Podcast, Erin sits down with professional astrologer and new paradigm business coach Katherine Wehler to explore the astrology of 2026 and why it marks a major collective and personal turning point. They break down the key planetary shifts shaping the next few years—including Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini, and Saturn and Neptune changing signs—and what these transits may mean for identity, leadership, work, technology, and community.

Katherine shares how this next era invites experimentation, authenticity, and a more heart-led approach to life, while offering insight into how individuals can align with these changes, trust their inner authority, and navigate rapid evolution with curiosity rather than fear.

In this episode, we explore:

1. Why astrologers are calling 2026 a watershed year and how it compares to other major historical shifts
2. How holiday stress, trauma, and nervous system overload may show up differently as collective energy accelerates
3. What the “new paradigm” actually means—and why individuality, community, and creativity matter more than ever
4. Practical mindset shifts to help you prepare for big life changes without burning out
5. Why following what genuinely lights you up is not selfish—but essential during times of transformation
