The Next Renaissance Has Begun: Why Wise Women and Grandmothers Are the Ones Who Will Change the World

I am noticing that our greatest gifts are often surrounded and encapsulated in fear and pain. Trauma from our past makes us shut down. It stops our gifts from flowing.

But what if every child were allowed to grow up free from trauma — so they could live the life they were meant for? What if we could heal our own trauma and unlock the gifts we were born to bring into the world?

This is my path. This is what I am doing.

I have a gift for the world. I am a Renaissance woman — a CPA, astrologer, communicator, writer and speaker, explorer of the mind and the world, entrepreneur, teacher, and coach. I help women live their best lives. And I am still learning to live my own.

I have overcome wounding around money, relationships, and finding my voice. As a child, my voice was shut down. I became afraid to speak up, afraid to say no, just to be accepted. Speaking my truth is still hard for me. But the pain of staying silent has grown greater than the pain of using my voice. I can’t live in that fear anymore. It keeps me from living authentically, and from sharing the gifts I was born with.

Astrology confirms what I already feel in my bones: with a stellium in Gemini in the 11th house — my Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, and North Node — I am meant to speak, to shine, to communicate with large groups, using technology to reach the world. With Leo rising, a Sagittarius full moon, and Saturn, Chiron, and Ceres in Pisces in my 8th house, and a stellium of Mars, Uranus, and Pluto in Virgo in my 2nd house

My chart is a map — a map of challenges, transformations, and destiny. It shows me that I am here to rise from trauma into voice, from silence into expression, from fear into leadership.

I was expected to live the American Dream. I did what was asked: I went to college, became a CPA, and built a life that looked secure from the outside. That security allowed me to leave an abusive marriage and protect my young sons. But inside, I struggled. I always seemed to have more month than money.

I understood the mechanics of money, but not its psychology or its spirituality. I didn’t know my value. I didn’t know what I valued. With Pluto, Uranus, and Mars in Virgo in my 2nd house, opposed by Saturn, Ceres, and Chiron in Pisces, and squared by my Gemini stellium — my life was set up as a crucible. I was meant to discover my own definitions of money, family, and values. To break the unspoken rules. To question everything.

And yes, I suffered losses. My voice was shut down when I was young. I lost a close relationship with my older son because I was still learning while trying to teach him. He witnessed more than he should have. All I can do now is love him from a distance, and try to remain close to my grandchildren.

But my grandchildren — all the grandchildren of this world — give me the courage to keep speaking. To overcome my fear of being heard. To live in alignment with my own heart and soul, and to inspire others to do the same.

Thankfully, I am very close to my other son and my baby granddaughter. I know I am loved. And I love fiercely, like a lioness.

Now, I want to lead. I want to inspire women — grandmothers, mothers, daughters — to rise. To find their voices. To question the lie that women over 60 are irrelevant. To reclaim creativity, sovereignty, power, and leadership.

Because the truth is, women who gave their all to everyone else their whole lives are now waking up. They realize they never cultivated their own hopes and dreams. And now, under this Solar Eclipse and Equinox, the energies are supporting us to remember who we are — before the traumas, before the silencing.

The patriarchy feared our power, so they buried it. But we are not buying the lies anymore.

Yes, I am angry. Angry when I see the killing of children and women, the destruction of our planet, the poisoning of our water, soil, and food. Angry at a system that enslaves people in fluorescent-lit jobs while families drift apart. This anger is righteous. It fuels my vision: a Renaissance of values, a return to balance, a return to love.

Money is not the enemy. It is simply a means of exchange. The enemy is greed, division, and forgetting why we are here.

Astrology is a guide. That is why it was suppressed — because those in power knew that if humanity remembered its cosmic map, control would slip from their hands. But the cosmos is speaking again. The Earth is speaking through fire, flood, earthquakes, and storms. She is not angry with us — she is calling us back into balance.

This Virgo Solar Eclipse is a choice point. Will we keep doing what we’ve always done, or will we change? The Earth cannot sustain more of the same.

I choose change. I choose a higher timeline.

When I turned 50, during my Chiron return, I began living part-time in Italy. What some called a midlife crisis was really a return to my own soul. In Italy, I remembered what matters: land, family, food, beauty, music, ritual, and connection to nature. Life there is proof that joy and high quality of living does not require excess money, only alignment with values.

I will never go back to the old way. I will teach women to do the same — to create their own Renaissance, to awaken their creativity and sovereignty, and to remember their power.

Because our grandchildren are depending on us. The Earth is depending on us.

And when a council of grandmothers leads this world, war will cease, and peace and love will prevail.
