🌿 Weekend Energy: Sept 27–28, 2025
☀️ Sun in Libra
🌙 Moon in Sagittarius (27th) and in Capricorn (28th)
✨ Still in eclipse corridor, approaching the end

Vibe of the Weekend: Saturday carries the Sag Moon energy lighter, more curious, craving freedom after a week of emotional intensity. It’s a day to move, explore, and breathe differently.

By Sunday, the Moon enters Capricorn, grounding the energy. This shift asks for focus, structure, and responsibility. It’s the reminder: yes, freedom matters, but so does the plan.

Together, this weekend is about moving from expansion to integration.

Who Feels It Most: Sagittarius & Gemini (27th): restless, craving space, hungry for truth.Capricorn & Cancer (28th): focus on work, boundaries, responsibility. Virgo & Pisces: still stretched by eclipse energies. Anyone with planets in early mutable (Sag, Pisces, Gemini, Virgo) or cardinal (Cap, Libra, Aries, Cancer) degrees.

Do
✔️ Saturday (27th): move your body, take a trip, learn something new
✔️ Sunday (28th): tidy, plan, set intentions for the week ahead
✔️ Journal the lessons of eclipse corridor so far

Don’t
✖️ Overextend yourself Saturday, Sag can scatter focus
✖️ Overload Sunday Capricorn Moon likes structure, but not pressure

Health & Body Astrology: Sagittarius (27th): hips, thighs, liver, stretch, hydrate, support digestion. Capricorn (28th): bones, joints, knees gentle movement, magnesium, grounding foods

Soul Reminder: This weekend is the bridge between eclipse intensity and what comes next. Saturday opens you up; Sunday grounds you down. Together, they prepare you to step into clarity.

Affirmation
“I expand with curiosity, and I ground with focus. I am ready for what comes next.”

By the end of this weekend, you’ll feel more stable and clear than the past two weeks. The corridor is closing clarity is close.

xoxo 😘 Eugenia

🌿 Friday, September 26, 2025
☀️ Sun in Libra
🌙 Moon in Sagittarius from mid-morning Calgary time
✨ Eclipse corridor still active

Vibe of the Day: 🥳 The Moon shifts from Scorpio into Sagittarius and you’ll feel the difference. After the heavy emotions of the last days, Sagittarius Moon opens the window bringing fresh air, movement, and perspective.

It’s still eclipse season, so clarity isn’t final yet. But today is lighter. It’s about stretching into possibility, choosing curiosity over fear, and remembering the bigger picture.

Who Feels It Most:
Sagittarius & Gemini: pulled into motion, restless, needing freedom
Virgo & Pisces: stretched by the eclipse corridor, choices feel close
Libra & Aries: relationships highlighted, a call for fairness and honesty
Anyone with planets around 0–3° of Mutable or Cardinal signs will feel the shift most strongly

Do
✔️ Get outside, walk, or move your body
✔️ Journal, learn, or explore something new
✔️ Add laughter or play to lighten the mood
✔️ Speak one truth gently, even if it’s small

Don’t
✖️ Overextend yourself with big promises
✖️ Assume everything is resolved eclipse dust is still settling
✖️ Rush into decisions just to escape tension

Health & Body Astrology: Sagittarius rules hips, thighs, liver. Support with stretching, hip-opening yoga, and herbal liver tonics (dandelion, milk thistle, lemon water).

Soul Reminder: The story isn’t finished yet but today, you can breathe easier and let hope back in.

Affirmation
“I open to new perspectives. Lightness and curiosity guide me.”

Sept 26 is the first real “lift” after eclipse heaviness use it to reset your energy gently.

xoxo 😘 Eugenia

Right now, so many of us feel the same thing… Scattered. Dissociated. Anxious for no reason. Like our soul is a little bit out of the body.

It’s not just you, it’s collective. The eclipses, the weight of the world, the quiet grief we all carry. And it shows up in our nervous systems: racing thoughts, shallow sleep, a body that feels tense even when you’re resting.

Here’s the truth: you are not broken. Your system is just overloaded. And when the body can’t carry it all, it needs safe spaces to land.

That’s why Joy & Vitality exists. Our Salt Cave, our Sound Healing, our Reiki sessions, our Circles they aren’t just “wellness extras.” They’re nervous system medicine. Anchors. Places where you can breathe again, feel your body again, and remember you’re here.

✨ And here’s the hope: this heavy season is not forever. By mid-November, the collective fog begins to lift. By spring, the energy shifts into action, creation, new beginnings. And personally, each time you regulate, ground, and land you are already moving closer to that lighter state.

Because healing doesn’t start in the mind.
It starts in the body, when you finally feel safe.

And maybe you’ve noticed this too: the things that used to bring relief don’t cut it anymore.
Before, you could escape into overworking.
Go out with friends.
Buy something new.

But now? The emptiness is still there after.

That’s why being in a community of like-minded people, even just for an hour, matters so much.
To be seen, to be safe, to breathe together it’s food for the soul.

If you’re reading this and you feel heavy or scattered: You are welcome here. You are safe here. You can land here.

And together, we will walk into the lighter season that is coming.

Eugenia 😘

🌿 Thursday, September 25, 2025
☀️ Sun in Libra
🌙 Moon in Scorpio
✨ Eclipse corridor still active

Vibe of the Day: The emotional intensity of the past two days begins to settle. The Scorpio Moon still brings depth and honesty, but the sharp edge softens. Today is about clearing residue letting go of what’s been weighing heavy and choosing simplicity.

Do
✔️ Clear out clutter inbox, home, body
✔️ Spend time in calm spaces (nature, salt baths, journaling)
✔️ Choose nourishment over pressure

Don’t
✖️ Reopen old arguments release, don’t recycle
✖️ Overthink clarity is coming after the eclipse

Affirmation
“I release what drains me. I choose to move lighter into what’s next.”

Sept 25 is a softer reset, not heavy, not chaotic, just a gentle step toward balance.

xoxo 😘 Eugenia

IRON SUPPLEMENTS: What’s the REAL difference? Iron 101: What They Don’t Tell You About Ferritin, Absorption

At Joy & Vitality Centre, iron is one of the most common deficiencies we see especially in women (heavy periods, pregnancy, postpartum), vegans, teens, athletes, and anyone dealing with chronic fatigue, hair loss, pale skin, poor focus, shortness of breath, or cold hands and feet.

But… not all iron supplements are created equal.

✔️Some constipate you.
✔️Some barely absorb.
✔️Some make you nauseous.
✔️And most are missing the critical cofactors your body needs to actually use that iron.

Here’s your detailed breakdown of the 3 iron supplements we carry most often and how to choose the right one 👇

1️⃣ AOR Ortho Iron (Best for clinical deficiencies, women with heavy periods, post-surgery recovery)

🧪 Form of iron: Ferric pyrophosphate (a non-heme, micronized form with high absorption and GI tolerance)

💡 Why it’s better: This form is microencapsulated to improve absorption and reduce GI side effects like nausea or constipation. It’s easier on the stomach than ferrous sulfate or gluconate and it’s designed to bypass the gut irritation caused by cheaper iron forms.

Cofactors included:
✔️ Vitamin C – boosts iron absorption
✔️ B12 (methylcobalamin) – supports red blood cell production
✔️ 5-MTHF (active folate) – helps build hemoglobin
✔️ B6 – required for iron transport
✔️ Copper – balances iron metabolism
✔️ Lactoferrin – helps transport iron directly into cells
✔️ Betaine HCl – enhances stomach acid for better iron uptake

👩‍⚕️ Best for:
✔️ Women with low ferritin + fatigue
✔️ Postpartum women or post-surgical recovery
✔️ Clients with heavy menstrual bleeding
✔️ People with borderline anemia + low energy
✔️ Clients who’ve tried iron before and didn’t respond

🚫 Not ideal if:
You’re vegan (contains bovine-derived lactoferrin)
You are highly sensitive to methylated vitamins

Why it works: It’s not just about taking iron it’s about building the red blood cells and giving your body everything it needs to actually make hemoglobin. Ortho Iron includes the FULL biochemical pathway.

2️⃣ AOR Ortho Iron Vegan (Same great formula, fully vegan)

💊 Iron Type: Same ferric pyrophosphate
🌱 100% Vegan formula no lactoferrin, no animal ingredients

All the same high-end methylated B-vitamins and supportive nutrients, minus the animal cofactors.

Best for:
✔️ Vegans and vegetarians
✔️ Clients with MTHFR mutations (folic acid sensitivity)
✔️ Functional anemia or low ferritin with normal CBC
✔️ Long-term maintenance after ferritin levels improve

Tip: Vegan iron often absorbs more slowly consistency is key! This one is gentle enough for long-term daily use.

3️⃣ CanPrev Heme Iron (Best for extreme deficiency, low absorption, or quick recovery)

🧬 Iron Type: Heme Iron Polypeptide (HIP) from bovine hemoglobin
☝️ Heme iron is what you’d find in red meat already in the exact form your body uses.

🧪 Why it’s powerful:
Unlike plant (non-heme) iron, heme iron doesn’t depend on stomach acid or cofactors. It absorbs through a separate, more efficient receptor system. That means higher bioavailability and no competition with other nutrients.

Includes:
✔️ Vitamin C (to reduce inflammation + boost iron transport)
✔️ Methylated B12 + Folate (for red blood cell building)

Best for:
✔️ Postpartum anemia
✔️ Iron-deficiency with poor absorption
✔️ People with low stomach acid
✔️ Clients who’ve failed other iron types
✔️ Athletic recovery or surgery recovery

🚫 Not for:
Vegans or vegetarians (derived from bovine hemoglobin)
Clients with hemochromatosis or iron overload risk

Why we love it:
Fast results. Less constipation. Often recommended by naturopaths for clients needing a rapid ferritin increase.

❤️ Eugenia’s Tip: “If you’ve ever taken iron and didn’t feel better it wasn’t the right kind. The form, dose, timing, and cofactors all matter. Come in. Let’s check your symptoms and help you choose the iron that actually works for your body.”

⚡️ When Your Tools Stop Working, Check the Sky. Let me make this simple: If you’re lighting the candles, pulling the cards, drinking the tea, writing the gratitude list… and still feel nothing?

It’s not your fault. It’s your body trying to survive an energetic environment that’s rearranging your identity in real time. And yes the astrology explains everything.

What’s Happening to You Is Not Random

Right now, you’re in the fallout of two major eclipses that shattered illusions:

🌕 Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (Sept 7)

This blew open:
Spiritual over-identification
Ritual performance
The illusion that feeling calm = being safe

Result? You feel emotionally disoriented, spiritually flat, unsure of what’s real.

🌑 Solar Eclipse in Virgo (Sept 21)

This hit your perfectionist patterns like a wrecking ball:
Your need to do healing “right”
Your obsession with fixing yourself
Your idea that control = stability

Result? You feel mentally over it, physically exhausted, and sick of your own coping strategies.

Saturn Retrograde in Pisces (until Nov 15)

You’re being stripped of every spiritual habit that was based in fear, survival, or obligation. No tool is landing because your soul is finally saying: “I’m not interested in looking healed anymore. I want to be free.”

Mars Opposing Chiron (Exact Sept 24–30)

Your deepest wound around not being met is wide open. You’re triggered by being alone, AND you’re overwhelmed by people.
You’re ashamed of your anger. You’re tired of being “the grounded one.” Sound familiar? That’s because your chart is responding, even if you’re not consciously tracking it.

So What Are People Actually Feeling?

Let’s stop the poetic talk. People are feeling:
✔️Numb, even in rituals that used to help
✔️Angry for no reason
✔️Like they’re spiritually disconnected or broken
✔️Terrified that the only thing they want is to be left the fck alone*

They’re saying things like:

“I don’t know what I believe anymore.”
“Everything I used to rely on feels fake now.”
“I don’t want to meditate. I want to scream.”
“If I do one more ritual, I’m going to snap.”

And no your journaling isn’t going to solve that. You need a space where you don’t have to try to heal.

Here’s What That Looks Like in Real Life

You walk in. I don’t ask you to explain your trauma. You don’t have to tell your story. You don’t have to cry. You don’t have to be spiritual. Or clear. Or okay.

I read your natak chart, current transits that affecting you (how and why, lesson). You lie down. I place the bowl where your nervous system is clenching. The sound moves what language cannot. Your body releases patterns that your mind could never decode.

We’re not “aligning.” We’re decompressing your field in real time while Saturn breaks down the false spiritual architecture in your chart and Pluto finishes destroying your coping-based self.

This Work Isn’t About Fixing You. It’s About Holding You While the Sky Changes You

Don’t come to get inspired. Come because your nervous system is screaming for someone who can hold the real work, in a real space, at the real time it matters.

If you’re waiting for things to “go back to normal” this is the new normal. Now choose how you’re going to meet it.

I’ll meet you here. Xoxo Eugenia

Sick Season? These 2 Herbs Need to Be in Your House. Like… yesterday🤧

💜 Elderberry (Whole Berries – 70g) This is NOT grocery store syrup. This is the real deal pure dried elderberries you simmer into a potent immune elixir.
✔️ Antiviral power, clinically shown to reduce the duration and severity of colds + flus
✔️ Kids + adults safe (and actually delicious)
✔️ Works best when taken at first sneeze do NOT wait until you’re fully sick
✔️ Make your own syrup or add to tea daily for defense

🌿 Slippery Elm Bark (70g)
If you’ve got a sore throat, dry cough, OR gut issues after a virus this is your go-to.
✔️ Coats and soothes irritated tissues (throat, stomach, colon)
✔️ Amazing for post-flu recovery, acid reflux, dry cough, or stress-related gut pain
✔️ Works fast most clients feel relief within 15 minutes as a tea

🔥 Real talk: Most people only think of herbs after they’re sick. But if you’ve got kids, you’re around people, or you’re feeling that “ugh” energy in the air now is the time.

Elderberry + Slippery Elm are our #1 fall combo at the apothecary.
They’re flying. Because they work.

Get yours at Joy & Vitality Centre. (And yes, I Eugenia will tell you exactly how to brew them. Just ask.)

Wednesday, September 24

Today is a high alert day. The Scorpio Moon heightens emotions, instincts, and reactions everything feels more intense than it really is. With eclipse energy still active, clarity is shaky, so it’s easy to misread situations or overreact.

Think of it as a day where the volume is turned up: on feelings, on words, and even on physical sensitivity.

Do:
✔️ Slow down, especially if you’re driving or traveling, patience protects.
✔️ Double-check facts before reacting.
✔️ Ground your body with warm meals, movement, or time in nature.
✔️ Use intensity as fuel for focus: finish something that’s been lingering.

Don’t
✖️ Let fear or suspicion run the show.
✖️ Jump into arguments or ultimatums emotions are amplified.
✖️ Take unnecessary risks caution is wisdom today.

Health & Body Astrology: Scorpio Moon stirs the nervous system, hormones, and elimination pathways. Support with extra hydration, detox teas (burdock, dandelion), and rest for the adrenal system.

Soul Reminder: Not every wave deserves a reaction. Today is about riding intensity without letting it steer you.

Affirmation:
“I move with caution and clarity. My patience protects me.”

Sept 24 is high alert, but not to fear it’s an invitation to slow down and be extra mindful. Small acts of grounding will keep you steady.

Sorry guys, this post will be in Russian language 🙏 It’s because Anna working with Russian and Ukrainian speaking clients only, и хочу поделиться этим видео именно на русском.

Анна психотерапевт, которая в определённый момент моей жизни стала для меня огромной поддержкой. Когда я потеряла очень близкого человека и не могла справиться с чувством потери, именно она помогла мне выйти из этого застоя и вернуться к жизни.

Мы провели всего четыре сессии, где было всё: психотерапия, гипнотерапия и даже стояние на гвоздях. Но именно в этих четырёх встречах я получила больше, чем можно ожидать.

Анна, специалист с большой буквы. Она помогает увидеть сам корень проблемы и не оставляет тебя в травме, а мягко и быстро подводит к выходу. Это не просто разговоры «о жизни» это настоящая работа, где вы приходите с болью и уходите с решением.

Я записала это видео, чтобы искренне поблагодарить Анну за её невероятный профессионализм и человечность.

🥬 FAQ: Is Kale Juice Safe If I’m on Medications?

This is one of those important questions we love when people ask because it shows you’re thinking about your body and your safety.

Why it matters: Some ingredients in juices are powerful. Kale is high in vitamin K, which affects how blood clots. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory, but it can also thin the blood. Beetroot can lower blood pressure. For most people, these are amazing benefits… but if you’re on prescription medications, they can sometimes interfere.

✨ This is why we always ask:
Whenever you order a cleanse at Joy & Vitality Centre, we’ll check if you’re on:
• Blood thinners (warfarin, etc.) kale, spinach, turmeric may need to be excluded.
• Blood pressure or diuretic medications beet juice may need adjusting.
• Immunosuppressants or chemo some detox herbs are not recommended.

💚 Our Promise:
We never hand you “one-size-fits-all” juices. Every cleanse is customizable, and if you share your medications or conditions with us, we’ll safely adjust ingredients so you get the benefits without the risks.

🌿 Why it’s different here:
• 100% cold-pressed on a Norwalk Juicer = maximum nutrition, no oxidation.
• Low-glycemic, vegetable-heavy = no sugar bombs.
• Real support from (Eugenia) to guide you.
• Ingredients chosen to work with your body, not against it.

⏳ Preorder 72 hrs in advance

Order here: https://joyandvitalitycentre.ca/juice-cleanse

Your cleanse should feel safe, supportive, and deeply nourishing. That’s why we ask so we can make it yours.

✔️ Fights back fast at the first sign of cold

Vibe of the Day: The Equinox reset is fresh in your body. Libra Sun + Libra Moon makes this a day of seeking balance, connection, and beauty. After weeks of intensity, today brings a softer pause but with Mercury opposite Neptune, truth may still feel slippery.

👉 Think of it as a day for listening, not locking in decisions.
👉 Harmony and aesthetics matter more than control today.

Do:
✔️ Connect with people you trust balance comes through conversation
✔️ Bring beauty into your day: flowers, colors, music, or your favorite clothes
✔️ Keep things simple one task at a time, one step at a time
✔️ Try gentle practices for balance: yoga, stretching, breathing exercises

Don’t:
✖️ Expect perfect clarity right away eclipse dust is still settling
✖️ Overthink or second-guess every word
✖️ Rush commitments give it a few days

Health & Body Astrology: Libra rules kidneys, skin, and the lower back. Drink extra water, stretch your spine, and use herbal teas (rose, nettle, hibiscus) to keep your system balanced.

Soul Reflection: Where do I need balance today in my time, my energy, or my relationships?

Affirmation
“I honor balance in small ways today. Each choice I make restores harmony.”

Today is not for big moves. It’s for listening, adjusting, and remembering that balance is built choice by choice.

xoxo 😘 Eugenia
