STELLA CURA WELLNESS CONSULTING
educating the curious about star wisdom
Curious about Astrology?​​
At Stella Cura Wellness Consulting (formerly Natural Rhythms Consulting) the goal is to educate the curious about star wisdom found in the ancient system of Astrology.
In this system, there is nuance and mystery. There is layered multidimensionality, ancient yet contemporary, aesthetic and poetic.
Multivalent, it offers a blueprint and a language. Like parts of an intricate timepiece, the planets, signs, houses, and aspects synchronize development, awareness and growth. ​​Deeply transformative, Astrology is much more than Sun signs.
"Nevertheless, it moves."
- Galileo Galilei
About Elizabeth Rozan
Attending to the energy and influence of the celestial domain is my passion and mission. I have been exploring psychospiritual development since 1968. This consciousness perspective is the foundation, the stella cura, of wellness.
Blending the traditional with the alternative, I hold academic degrees in Psychology, Writing and Interdisciplinary Studies, and full certification from the Professional Astrologers Alliance-National Council for Geocosmic Research (CA, PAA-NCGR), the International Society of Astrological Research (CAPISAR) and Church of Light (Teacher of Hermetics).
I have a steady practice of professional development, both in the field and beyond in complementary areas related to holistic health, energy work, body work, archetypal studies, relational dynamics, and trauma informed practices (individual, ancestral, and collective). Gestalt Therapy, Spiritual Development Mentoring practices, Tarot, Shamanic Studies, Inner Science Metaphysics, NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), and Jungian Foundations are some of the areas that inform my practice.

What happens in the sky relates
to what happens on Earth.
Depth
Sacred Trust
Astrology reveals a sacred trust mapped out in the horoscope.
Transformation
Development across the life span is made up of events and choices. There is what is, and the response to what is.

Celestial Navigation
​One way to navigate the world of Astrology is to begin to develop a relationship with the planets. Their are many ways in to this relationship. The planets are multivalent, with layers of entry points and meaning. The planets form a personal mandala where challenges, gifts, and developmental unfolding occur. They have a place in the lineup of the distance from the Sun, and represent visitation from the Upper, Middle, and Underworld. They have associative pairings. Their movement can be tracked moment by moment, daily, monthly, yearly. They can be explored in terms of Natal, Horary, Mundane, and Electional.
Below is a monthly view, as seen in the chart of the current New Moon. The Sun and Moon set the tone, and the other planetary placements are arranged in relation to this tonal emphasis. Key astrological principles are demonstrated by this chart: the beginning of something has significance., and what happens in the sky influences what happens on Earth. This chart will be updated monthly.
​
​
The Sun, representing the fire of creativity, is the Invincible Spirit. A piece of the Sun is held within each person, thereby interweaving vitality with purpose. The great universal wonder of the Sun comes in small doses, distributed in powerful increments as it travels the analemma over the course of a year.
The Moon is the receiver of Spirit and through the Soul elements of the mind and emotions, reflects a response to the world through her silver light. The Moon delights in shape-shifting, and does so through repetitive ebb and flow, from night to day, and from New Moon to New Moon in eight predictable and visible phases over the course of the month.
​ Sabian Symbol for this New Moon at 28 Aquarius 49:
Metamorphosis completed, a butterfly spreads its wings.
This New Moon, with its proximity to the North Node, is the first of the 2026 eclipses. It emphasizes the 11. 12. and 1st houses. Such a configuration cluster of energy encourages a plunge into the the oceanic depths of the unconscious to find pathways to awareness and growth. The co-ruler of the chart is Jupiter, still Rx in the deep exploration of family, while trine to the Mercury, North Node and Venus cluster. Love is flexible here, finding expression through words, quality time, acts of service, gentle touch, and thoughtfulness. There's potential for a blustering show of unexpected assertion with Mars squaring Uranus, but this could be just the refreshing push needed as Saturn conjoins Neptune (co-ruler with Jupiter) to give structure to dreams and ideals. With this energy held in the bowl handled by Jupiter and Pluto in a wide quincunx, some messes will need to be cleaned up.

​
The Four Major Asteroids
These bodies represent dimensions of the Feminine. At this New Moon, their positions are as follows:
Ceres The Great Mother 20 Aries 25
Pallas The Warrior Daughter 07 Pisces 39
Vesta The Sister 19 Aquarius 06
Juno The Wife 17 Capricorn 36
The Planetary Energies
The Sun (the invincible spirit) and the Moon (the receiver) are the Lights that interplay with the Earth. These energies combine with the Ascendant to clarify the energetic thrust. The Lunar Nodes (forming the line of destiny) add dimension to this dynamic.
Individual personality takes on a hue when the Lights are combined with the personal planets:
Mercury (the Messenger),
Venus (the social healer), and
Mars (the warrior).
Opportunities and limitations, defining a breath-like expansion and contraction, are shown through the social planets:
Jupiter (the Big Thinker), and
Saturn (the Limit Setter).
The inner planets bridge to the outer planets through Chiron (the shaman or wounded healer).
The outer, transpersonal planets open to deeper layers of consciousness development:
Uranus (the Awakener to intuitive consciousness),
Neptune (the Mystical Masterful Magician of spiritual consciousness), and
Pluto (the Transformer through psychological consciousness).
These energies work together with developmental cycles to support the individuation process.

2026 Eclipse Seasons
Each year there are two eclipse seasons, with two and sometimes three eclipses at two week intervals in each season. Eclipses involve the relationship between Sun, Moon, Nodal Axis, and Earth. Solar Eclipses occur at New Moon, and suggest new beginnings. The Sun and Moon are conjunct and positioned so that the Sun is eclipsed (blocked) by the Moon. The Moon overpowers the Sun. Emotion supersedes logic. and when visible, an eerie shadow of small crescents can be seen on the Earth's surface as the Moon passes. Lunar Eclipses occur at Full Moon, and suggest endings. With the Sun and Moon in opposition, the Earth slips between them, casting a shadow on (blocking or eclipsing) the Moon.
The intensity of the eclipse season flows over a six-week period: 2 weeks prior to the eclipse, there is a revving up of energy. It reaches a peak that shakes things up for about 2 weeks. Then, there is a winding down for 2 weeks, until the next lunation.
Exactitude occurs on the date listed, but each eclipse can have a 3-6 month effect, depending on proximity of the Sun and Moon to natal and prenatal positions, as well as where the eclipse occurs in the world. While the 2025 eclipse seasons are past, these degrees will hold vibrational sensitivity for some time.

and how to give birth to oneself slowly.
Patience with small details makes perfect the large work, like the universe."
