It is still a dream to get tattooed by Wiji Lacsamana. And when I learned she started getting into the healing arts like #Reiki and #astrology, I knew I had to have her on the #FindingLightinLoss series.
It was succinct that she didn't consider loss as a loss, but rather a portal to a new world that opens up possibilities. So listen to her story of how she left her hometown of La Union and found herself forging an identify and new home in Manila and her Art.
You can follow Wiji on social media , buy her art, work with on healing or get an astrology reading from her on her website and listen to her podcast, The Society of Cosmic Curiosity

I hesitated to ask this question about spirituality as it's been a thorn on my side growing up and living in a very Catholic/Christian environment. Have you always ever wondered about it too?
The very mention of "spirituality" in my previous conversation with Delamar Arias-Ashby prompted me to ask her if she'd want to talk about this more. I was so afraid as I learned to never bring religion or politics to the table. But I sure am glad Delamar was open to talking about it. So we did.
This is a deep conversation with even deeper insights to prompt you to think about the questions that have likely been floating around your head and heart. What is it like to lose the religion and family and community you grew up with? How do you find Light in a huge loss like that?
Listen to Delamar's story and hopefully you'll learn a thing or more. I guarantee you will.
Catch more of Delamar's insights on The Eve's Drop Podcast here on Spotify or follow along on her personal adventures on Instagram.

There's another key planetary transit this 2025 brewing! It will be explosive to say the least. Mars - the red planet of energy, conflict, war, action, meets Ketu - the headless serpent, inside the house of the King, Leo.
Let's dive deep into what these planets and #zodiacsign involved mean and will possibly bring starting June 7 through July 28, 2025. I look into historical events when this Mars-Ketu conjunction occurred. Will this 2025 one have similar effects? Abangan!
