What today’s big astrology cycles might be asking of us, with Karen Newell.
Humanity is living through a season where the old ways of doing things are cracking, loudly, in public, and sometimes in our own living rooms.
In this episode of Connecting with Coincidence, Bernard Beitman, MD sits down with personal development teacher Karen Newell to explore a question that feels oddly practical right now:
If transformation is possible, how do we recognize when it’s available, and how do we meet it with more awareness?
Karen frames astrology less as prediction and more as a language of cycles, timing, and opportunity. In other words: not “this will happen,” but “this is the kind of moment where certain shifts become easier, harder, or simply unavoidable.”
A few highlights from the conversation:
Timing as a lever. Some seasons reward patience; others reward decisive movement. The trick is knowing the difference.
Big collective patterns, personal choices. The “macro” may set the weather, but we still decide how we dress for it.
Eclipses, Pluto returns, and threshold moments. The episode looks at major symbolic markers as invitations to course-correct, release, and reorient.
Free will inside the cycle. Even if you believe cycles are real, the conversation keeps circling back to responsibility: compassion, relationship, and how we show up for each other.
The through-line is simple: we may not control the era we’re living in, but we can get better at recognizing “choice points” and responding with a little less reactivity and a little more intention.
