On this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah sits down with poet, astrologer, and author Heidi Rose Robbins to explore what it means to move through change with more presence, creativity, and trust. Together, they reflect on what the Moon Studio is calling the “year of the pivot”—a time of reinvention, letting go, and becoming someone new, often without having a clear plan. They talk about how to navigate these moments without forcing clarity or perfection, and why the smallest steps can be the most powerful place to begin. Heidi shares how poetry, astrology, and daily practices like writing can become a tool to help us move through uncertainty with more compassion. The two also explore the role of repetition in creativity, the importance of showing up consistently (even imperfectly), and how structure can support us as we evolve. In this episode, you’ll hear: - Why 2026 is a “year of the pivot” and what that actually means - How to take the first step when you don’t feel ready - Using poetry and writing as a tool for emotional alchemy - Letting go of urgency and reconnecting to presence - Why repetition—not perfection—is the key to creative work - The power of daily practices (like Heidi’s “Moon Notes”) - How astrology can be a tool for self-compassion and connection - Learning to trust timing, cycles, and your own inner knowing This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, and trust that something new may already be opening.
