What if you didn’t have to have it all figured out to begin again?
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.

More from Moonbeaming
This week, Sarah welcomes back writer, educator, death worker, astrologer, and Many Moons 2027 contributor Fariha Róisín to the podcast. Sarah recently took Fariha’s Grief Studies class, and the two go deep on what grief really is, why it’s tied to love, and how it can become a gateway to healing, accountability, and decolonization. From there, the conversation moves into energy work, magic, and Fariha’s devotion to Mary Magdalene, a thread that connects to the 2027 planner and the High Priestess year ahead.
Feeling stuck? In this solo episode, Sarah explains why the present is the future: everything you repeatedly think, say, do, and react to is already building tomorrow. Drawing on the 40-day, 30% experiment, a few playful games, and stories from her own life, she shows you how to get unstuck at a pace your nervous system can handle.
In the third and final episode of this series, Sarah shifts from the collective cards of 2026 to your personal card of the year. Using her own card, strength, as the example, she shows how to go beyond simply knowing your card and start working with it. Along the way, Sarah offers a few gentle reminders: don't perform the card, don't obsessively hunt for signs, and let life teach you what the cards mean.
In the second episode of this three-part series, Sarah shows us how to work directly with the collective archetypes of 2026 when life feels upended. Drawing on her own pivot year, Sarah explores how to stay conscious, centered, and creative when the wheel of life turns. She offers practical ways to embody archetypal energy for support, grounding, and expansion.
In this first episode of a three-part series, Sarah explores the collective archetypes of 2026 through the lens of tarot: The Magician, The Wheel of Fortune, and The Sun.
