Star-Crossed with Meghan Rose

This week on Star-Crossed with Meghan Rose, I’m joined by the brilliant Valerie Estrina - writer, cultural critic, and author of Club Reticent, her Substack where she explores womanhood through essays and autofiction. Valerie brings a razor-sharp yet deeply compassionate perspective on what it means to be a woman in a world obsessed with productivity, perfection, and feeling the need to pretend that you’re "fine" alone.Together, we dive into:Doing less as a form of power and self-respect in a world so rooted in productivityLetting go of people, roles, and identities that no longer fitWhy avoidance is often a coping mechanism, not a badge of honorThe rise of pop astrology and how it mirrors our hunger for meaningConsumerism, self-optimization culture, and why “connection” is being described as “embarrassing”Hyperindividualism vs. the very human need to be seen, held, and lovedHow to be more yourself, more open, and more emotionally honest without fearThis episode is for anyone navigating womanhood, a sense of disconnection, emotional avoidance, or the quiet ache for deeper relationships. It’s reflective, cathartic, and grounding a reminder that authenticity isn’t cringe, it’s brave.Keep up with Valerie's Club Reticent:✨ Newsletter: clubreticent.substack.com✨ Instagram: @club.reticent🌙 Want extended episodes, weekly forecasts, workshops, and the Star-Crossed community?Subscribe on Substack: themeghanrose.substack.comConnect with Meghan:Instagram: @the_meghanroseTikTok: @the_meghanroseWork with Meghan: themeghanrose.substack.com

If you’ve been coasting, dissociating, or pretending that “things will sort themselves out,” this week’s astrology ahead calls your bluff.Neptune stations direct in Pisces after months of muddy retrograde fog, but clarity is only useful if you actually do something with it. We also break down Mercury’s shift into Sagittarius, a transit that demands honesty, diversification of perspective, and bigger-picture thinking instead of the small, comfortable narratives you default to.This episode dives into:Why Neptune direct is the cosmic wake-up call you’ve been avoidingHow to stop numbing out and start navigating your life with intentionWhat Mercury in Sagittarius exposes about your communication styleWhy ignoring your intuition is officially a waste of timeWhat these transits mean for momentum now, and the rest of DecemberAnd we get blunt about the larger cosmic arc you’re walking into. If you’re not preparing for 2026 (the year Neptune enters Aries and the collective identity resets) you’re already behind.If you want the actual blueprint instead of wishful thinking, sign up for the workshop here: themeghanrose.com/subscribers-only.Star-Crossed Substack subscribers get an exclusive discount to join and start 2026 off on the right foot:Substack: themeghanrose.substack.comInstagram: instagram.com/themeghanroseTikTok: tiktok.com/@the_meghanrose⭐ JOIN THE “ASTROLOGY OF 2026” WORKSHOP⭐ and stay tuned for next week's episode!

In this week’s episode of Star-Crossed with Meghan Rose, we’re looking at the astrology of November 10–16 through both a personal and collective lens, because the energy shift this week is loud and requires us to slow down and reflect before reacting.With Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius and Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, the universe is asking us to pause, reflect, and re-evaluate what we believe in, what we want, and what we actually need to feel safe and supported.This is a week of:Rewriting old belief systemsRethinking the stories we tell about ourselves & our goalsReturning to emotional honestyA ritual to connect with your patterns & habitsWe’ll talk about:Why retrogrades are not something to fearHow Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius shifts our perspective on truth, purpose, and our life's directionWhat Jupiter retrograde in Cancer is teaching us about belonging, family, and homeHow to work with this cosmic pause instead of rushing through itThis episode is grounding, clarifying, and hopefully helpful; a reminder that slowing down can be a form of self-protection and a return to your inner compass.Stay connected:Follow me on TT ⁠@the_meghanrose⁠ + IG ⁠@the_meghanrose⁠ Subscribe to the Star-Crossed newsletter on Substack for extended episodes, 1:1 readings, workshops & more: ⁠themeghanrose.substack.com⁠Book a reading or explore my offerings: ⁠www.themeghanrose.com
