In this episode of The Moon Collective Sanctuary, host Dr. Lydia Luna, PhD, welcomes holistic psychotherapist and astrologer Kathryn Diaz, LMFT and Holistic Psychotherapist, who shares her 12-year journey with astrology and how personal crises led her to this ancient system as a tool for self-awareness. Kathryn explains key astrological concepts like Saturn's Return and Solar Return, offering listeners practical insights on navigating life transitions with cosmic guidance. The conversation highlights the current Pluto in Aquarius transit—a significant 20-year period comparable to the American Revolution—and discusses how this planetary shift is reshaping our collective experience. By connecting psychology, somatic awareness, and astrology, Kathryn shows how natal charts can uncover generational patterns and serve as a roadmap for personal growth. This episode presents both astrology enthusiasts and skeptics with a grounded perspective on accessing wisdom from celestial patterns during uncertain times.

In this episode of Moon Collective Sanctuary, host Lydia Luna, PhD welcomes Mary Telliano, an end-of-life and soul doula who creates space for spiritual connection during life's final chapter. Mary shares insightful stories from her work, including how a jolly nut businessman from Tennessee found 5-MeO-DMT more effective than morphine for his liver cancer pain, and how one woman overcame her terror of separation by experiencing it firsthand in ceremony. After discovering her calling while supporting her grandfather's transition, Mary left her finance career to help others navigate death's threshold. She explains her unique approach to legacy projects—from QR codes on gravestones that share recipes to cookbooks that preserve family traditions—and challenges listeners to rethink death not as an end but as a graduation. This conversation strips away fear surrounding mortality and offers practical insights for anyone seeking to support loved ones through their final journey or prepare for their own "final chapters."
