08 Jan 2024118. The Astrology of 2024 (Pt. 2) with Erin Tack Shipley02:16:08

What questions and explorations are most relevant to us in 2024, given its astrology and energetic flavors? How do we hold the complexity of liminal times? 

This year, I invited the brilliant and thoughtful Erin Tack Shipley to discuss the astrology of 2024. We ended up creating a rich two-part conversation that weaves our contemplations, delineations, and predictions of each month from the lens of astrology. 

This is Part 2 of our conversation, which covers the second half of 2024. Part 1 can be found here.

Working with and alongside Erin, I'm consistently inspired by how the depth of her reflections often lead our conversations to surprising revelations. These conversations are no exception.

22 May 202375. Befriending Our True Nature: Contemplating The Week of 05.22.2300:37:32

What is your relationship to your true nature? How might contemplating your relationship with nature shift your perception of your true nature? What have you had to endure as the consequences of rejecting your true nature? What do you fear to be the consequences of rewilding and releasing your conditioning in order to embrace your true nature?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 05.22.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. 

This week, Mars in Leo makes a square to Jupiter in Taurus and to the lunar nodes, which are co-present with Uranus in Taurus.

13 Jul 202217. Verena Borell: Mercury & The Outer Planets01:37:30

How can Mercury open the portal to the outer planets: Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto? What is Mercury’s evolutionary intent? How can we foster a collaboration with our Mercurial mind in our soul’s journey? 

My guest in conversation today is the brilliant evolutionary astrologer and my dear friend, Verena Borell. Our conversation revolved around the relationship and interplay between Mercury and the outer planets. When Verena suggested this topic, I noticed our shared energetic field lit up. It feels electrifying to pay tribute to our chart ruler (Verena is a Gemini rising, and I’m a Virgo rising) - to reflect on how our Mercurial curiosity assists us in our soul’s evolution, and how our analytical minds can serve as a bridge to accessing the pure intelligence of all creation.

Verena also shared how she discovered Evolutionary Astrology and her journey in deepening her relationship with this wisdom tradition, the challenges in learning and sharing astrological insights, and what it means to embody Mercury in this lifetime.

Here’s Verena’s bio:

Verena Borell lives and works as an evolutionary astrologer, writer, creatrix and translator for cosmic energies in Munich but will move to Austria this summer. She offers 1:1 Evolutionary Astrology Sessions in German and English language and supports clients with “Cosmic Guidance“ over several months on their soul’s journey. To expand and deepen the wisdom school of evolutionary astrology, Verena started last summer to read the Akashic Records for herself and her clients, too. 

Blessed with gifted and wise teachers such as Sabrina Monarch and Ari Moshe Wolfe, Verena considers herself as an eternal student. Born with a strong Gemini and Sagittarius axis and a fully loaded 12th house, Verena has the deep desire to share the light, her learnings and experiences with other souls. She teaches her “Living Astrology Intensive Program“ in German language, gives astrology workshops and shares her astrological knowledge, intuitive insights and cosmic experiences on her Instagram channel @verenaborell, via her Mercury Messages Newsletter and her Mercury Dreams Podcast in German language.

Verena considers astrology as a loving and living experience. For her, astrology and the planets are neither above nor detached from life but rather a part of an enchanted, wise and meaningful universe which includes nature, earth, the cosmos, humans, animals and also entities from other dimensions and extraterrestrial realms. 

Verena considers evolutionary astrology and the akashic records as powerful systems and magical tools to navigate our soul’s experience in this incarnation here in earth school and to connect with a higher Truth, Love and Source. Because of that, rituals, meditation and prayers to the planets, goddesses and gods are part of her astrological practice, soul’s path and heart work. 

You can sign up for Verena’s Mercury Messages newsletter either in English or in German, follow her on Instagram @verenaborell and visit her website. To book an evolutionary astrology reading with Verena, contact her at mail@verenaborell.com

We also mentioned Ari Moshe Wolfe, Sabrina Monarch, Jeffrey Wolf Green, and Deva Green

What are some of the best astrological learning resources out there in 2022 (and perhaps beyond)?

I'm trying something new! Episodes 26-31 will be me answering some of the most juicy questions I received from my Instagram community. I had so much fun answering these questions, and I hope you'll find something useful from my answers, too. 

(PS - In the intro to the episode, I mentioned the wrong sequence of the episodes. Oops! Episode 26 will actually cover Lion's Gate, Housing Contract, and Chiron in Cancer. Meanwhile, Episode 31 covers questions on working with naysayers of astrology and the contradiction of astrology.)

In this episode, I answered the following questions: 

  • [08:12] "You always have the best content recommendations. What books, podcasts, etc. have been impactful to you?"

Resources I mentioned:

20 Dec 202245. Megan Frye: Living On The Sagittarius-Gemini Axis01:36:30

What does it mean to live on the Sagittarius - Gemini axis? How do we cultivate a relationship with their planetary rulers, Jupiter and Mercury? How can working with Sagittarius and Gemini aid us in exploring our own subconscious?

In this episode, my friend and partner in conversation, Megan Frye, and I weaved a conversation on the Sagittarius and Gemini archetypes. As we are leaving Sagittarius season, my hope is that this poetic, free-flowing, and expansive conversation will assist you in reflecting the themes these two archetypes bring up during this season.

We discussed big, edgy topics of the construction of reality, of entertaining questions and possibilities without necessarily arriving at answers. Throughout our conversation, Megan and I brought in Odin and Santa Claus, seen through the lens of personal experiences and observations about the collective. Finally, we also discussed what it means to explore our personal underworld through the lens of Megan's work as a hypnotherapist.

Here’s Megan’s bio:

Megan Frye is an independent writer and translator. An eternal student of photography, astrology, music and yoga, she came into hypnotherapy during the year of her Gemini nodal return.

You could say hypnotherapy is her B-side, but as any audiophile knows, the B-side is often the best side. Megan spends most of her time outdoors, on the road and in loving theta with the world and beings around her.

She is honored to guide clients through therapeutic hypnosis, which she believes to be one of the most rapidly transformational healing modalities available. Her greatest teachers are nature, the subconscious mind and those who fearlessly and compassionately embrace their shadow.

Megan is a Cancer rising, Aries sun and Aquarius moon. She has a Sagittarius stellium and loves her Taurus placements most of all. She grew up in Michigan and, like a hermit crab, has called many places home and is always looking for the next best place. Blame in on the Sag. She is the proud co-founder of Holistic Soul Project: an international, nature-focused, in-person collaborative and transformational mystic retreat experience. 

You can find Megan and her work on her website and her Instagram.

30 May 2024152. Brynja Magnusson: Mystical Systems and The Subconscious01:42:40

How do mystical systems and spiritual philosophies help us understand our subconscious better? How do we reconcile the apparent tensions between different systems? How might art serve to bridge the divide?

Over the past few years, I've admired the work of Brynja Magnusson as well as her ability to seamlessly weave her artistic and spiritual practices. Her guidebooks and card decks have been trusted guides in my own study of Human Design, Animal Totems, the I-Ching, and Yin Mysticism. Early on in my Human Design journey, Brynja also gave me a reading that felt like a turning point and gently ignited a flame of curiosity to explore the system more deeply.

In this conversation, we explored the connections and distinctions between various spiritual systems, the role of encouragement in nurturing our subconscious, moving away from dogmatic ways of approaching mystical systems, and sharing knowledge while learning.

Here's Brynja's bio:

Brynja is a student of spiritual philosophy. While apprenticing in topics of shamanism, ritual, human energetics, and nature-based spirituality she creates functional illustrated guidebooks based on her notes of the material she studies. Brynja works with mediums of art, writing, and personal sessions to, directly and indirectly, provide the subconscious and spirit with alternative tools. Brynja is the creator of Ceremoniance, an art-based company that shares her studies via art, design, and description.   Brynja creates beautifully illustrated guidebooks and card decks on topics of Human Design, the I Ching, Animal Totems, Yin Mysticism, and soon the tarot and recovery work. By giving an artistic platform to obscured wisdom, we can maintain and promote the transformative practices cultivated by humans over thousands of years.

Brynja's offerings (including her decks and sessions) can be found through her website Ceremoniance. You can also find her on Instagram.

06 May 2024146. Focus as an Act of Care: Honoring The New Moon in Taurus 202400:41:14

What gifts might unfold when we choose to narrow our options down to what truly matters? How do we discern between comfort and nourishment?

In honor of the New Moon in Taurus, I pulled some cards to open pathways of conversations with the Sun, the Moon, Venus and Saturn.

Below are the cards I pulled. You can find a photo of the cards here.

  • The Sun: 7 of Swords
  • Venus: 8 of Wands
  • The Moon: 2 of Pentacles

19 Dec 2024183. Michelle Pellizzon-Lipsitz: The Practice of Intuitive Business01:25:06

What is an intuitive business? What mistakes might we make along the path of practicing intuitive business? What valuable lessons might we learn from them?

Running a business as a creative mystic is not easy. It can often feel like the skills & mindsets that feed into business success are diametrically opposed to the values one holds as an artist and a practitioner. 

But what if these two aspects of our work are potential lovers who simply need to practice collaborating so they can finally understand they're not enemies, after all?

In this conversation with Michelle Pellizzon-Lipsitz, we explored this juicy liminal intersection. 

Michelle Pellizzon is a researcher, creative business consultant, artist, writer, entrepreneur, and witch.

She's one of the most creative people I know and her artistry overflows into everything she does. You may know her through her company Holisticism, or her podcast The Twelfth House, or her membership portal The North Node.

03 Apr 202367. Love Letter To The Body - Contemplating The Week of 04.03.2300:30:00

How do you speak to your body? How does your body speak to you? How are your words helping you shape your dreams? How are your words helping you honor your emotional reactions' abilities to guide your path?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 04.03.23, I also offer the possibility that that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. 

This week, Mercury will enter into Taurus, making aspects to Pluto in Aquarius, Saturn in Pisces, the Lunar Nodes, and Mars in Cancer. In addition, we have a full moon in Libra.

21 Oct 202233. Jamie Leonhart: Tending To The Delicate Balance01:33:38

How do we tend to the delicate balance of the ecosystem of roles we play as artists of our lives? What does it mean to be a singer and who gets to claim that title? How can healing practitioners benefit from exploring their physical voice as a medium to convey and translate their passion and life calling?

My guest in conversation is NYC-based singer-songwriter extraordinaire who also happens to be  my voice teacher, Jamie Leonhart. Jamie and I have worked together on a weekly basis on exploring and cultivating my voice. The impact of our work together on my healing journey has been profound, and I'm deeply grateful for the safe space Jamie provided for these explorations.

Our conversation revolved around Jamie's creative process of writing and recording her latest album The Illusion of Blue in the midst of the pandemic and the resulting closure of performance spaces - which propelled many performing artists to question their roles within society. 

Jamie and I also discussed tending to the delicate balance of holding the identity as an artist, a mother, and a teacher, working with creatives who are not professional singers on their voices, and the fear of claiming our right to explore our unique physical voices.

This conversation means so much to me. Listening back, I was moved by the rapport and trust we've slowly built over time. I'm excited for you to get to know Jamie as an artist and her unique perspectives on her work.

Here's Jamie's bio:

Drawing comparisons to the likes of Norah Jones and Feist, the sharp-witted singer-songwriter Jamie Leonhart is an artist who is difficult to categorize, dynamic in emotional range and diverse in genre-crossing ability.

Jamie Leonhart was born in New York City, the granddaughter of a cantor and the youngest of three musically-curious children.  She began studying the violin at age three and singing soon after.

Jamie inhabits a hybrid of popular music that incorporates jazz, indie-pop, and quirky torch song cabaret.  Live, her audience becomes a collective co-conspirator as she intones her confessions, dissatisfactions and desires, supported by arrangements that move from somber to playfully bombastic in a moment. Jamie’s approachable demeanor belies powerhouse vocals and her ability to deliver intricate compositions, which she does with depth and clarity.

As a songwriter, Jamie writes about vulnerability, patience, frustration, shifting perspectives and trust.

Jamie is employed as both a commercial voiceover artist and vocalist and also works as a background and session singer (Steely Dan and St.Vincent among others) Jamie is a 2015 commissioned NEW YORK VOICES artist of The Public Theater/Joe’s Pub, and created ESTUARY: an artist | mother story through this commission. Her second solo record, the illusion of blue, was released in February 2022 .

You can find and connect with Jamie via her website, listen to her albums Illusion of Blue and The Truth About Suffering on Apple Music or Spotify.

If you're ever curious about exploring how vocal explorations and training can unlock your unique expressions, I highly recommend reaching out to Jamie to see if working together will make sense for you.

22 Jul 2024163. On Astrological Forecasting with Sabrina Monarch01:24:48

What do astrologers learn from the practice of forecasting? How might studying astrology and contemplating the future help us be more present to our daily reality?

In this conversation, I invited the incredible astrologer Sabrina Monarch for a discussion on the practice of astrological forecasting. Over the years, Sabrina and I have both cultivated a practice of sharing our perspectives on astrological transits with our audience and our communities. It's a rich practice that have assisted us both in honing our unique astrological voices. We thought we'd share some lessons we've learned as well as how this practice has expanded us as practitioners and as humans. 

Sabrina has been practicing & teaching evolutionary astrology for many years now. She was someone I studied with very early on in my journey, and my experience learning with her was invaluable to who I've become as an astrologer. Early in my studies, I signed up for her newsletter and quickly became enchanted by the inspired, image-driven, vivid ways that Sabrina wrote about astrology. Her forecasts were beyond mere delineations – they hold potential to transport readers into expanded experiences of reality. 

From now until August 11, 2024, Sabrina is running a Kickstarter campaign to support the creation of her forecasts & her podcast throughout the coming year. Through the Kickstarter, you can make a pledge to support Sabrina's work & in exchange receive discounted tuition for her signature course, Evolutionary Astrology Intensive, as well as workshops, readings, and a new course called Glamor Magic.

04 Mar 202212. Britten LaRue: Emergence Astrology01:37:05

I’m honored to have Britten LaRue as my partner in this conversation. Together, we explored Britten’s unique approach to the craft of astrology. She brilliantly coined the term Emergence Astrology to describe her practice and we traced the journey of how that concept crystallized for her as well as how her relationship with seeking answers has changed since her astrological journey began. 

We also discussed how to resource one’s self in order to steward creative ideas, how to compost your life experiences and the skills you learned from previous chapters of your life in order to build the life that feels resonant to you, and Britten’s experience stepping into the role of someone who helps others answer their calling to share their gifts with others - which required her to de-center herself in community while also allowing her gifts to assist others.

Here's Britten's bio: 

Britten LaRue is a transformational life guide and magical business coach. She supports her community primarily with technologies of intuitive listening, which include wisdom she receives from astrology and the tarot. Britten is the creator of Emergence Astrology, which leans on this ancient symbolic language to help us become approachable to the self and the wild path that is emerging in the dark for us. Britten serves and mentors one-on-one clients, a vast community of students, podcast fans, and thousands of readers of her workbooks.

Connect with Britten and learn more about her offerings through her website brittenlarue.com, her Instagram @brittenlarue, and her podcast Moon to Moon. Sign up for the waiting list for Britten's powerful offering for emerging readers The Magician's Table to be the first to listen to apply when the portal opens on March 11. Space is limited and if you feel yourself craving for a framework to assist you in your emergence, you won't want to miss this offering!

09 Dec 2024182. Natasha Levinger: The Spirituality of A Creative Life01:06:06

Where do our spiritual and creative lives intersect? How might our spiritual practices bolster our inner artist? How might our creative practice embolden our inner sage?

In this episode, I invited energy and inner child healing practitioner Natasha Levinger for a conversation to discuss the overlaps between creativity and spirituality. Natasha is also a writer and a musician who's spent many years in the world of improv.

We explored the fear of listening to our creative inner child & making space for them in our lives, breaking down rigid definitions of creativity, and the difference between openness and codependency.

Towards the end, Natasha shared her brilliant take on creative manifestation and some practices she's found helpful in deepening a co-creative relationship with reality.

11 Mar 2024133. Forgiving The Imperfect Art of Life: Tarot Reading for Venus in Pisces00:49:08

How might we engage the fecund creative energy of Venus in Pisces? What challenges might we face? What does Venus in Pisces teach us about the nature of love and forgiveness?

Here's a special tarot reading to support us through the Venus in Pisces transit, from March 11 to April 5, 2024, which will also coincide with the first eclipse season of the year. This reading is aimed at the Venusian artist within us - the parts that seek to create, to receive inspiration, and to (re)organize material reality. 

I encourage you to return to this reading anytime you crave support for this transit.

Here are the questions I asked and the cards I pulled for each: 

  1. What gifts is this Venus in Pisces transit bringing us? King of Wands
  2. What challenges might we face during this Venus in Pisces transit? 4 of Wands
  3. What might be challenging for us to see or to access during this Venus in Pisces transit? Knight of Cups
  4. What does Venus in Pisces want to show us about the nature of love and forgiveness? 2 of Pentacles
  5. Which archetype serves as our anchor throughout Venus in Pisces? Chariot

24 Aug 202231. Ask Jonathan: Dealing With Naysayers of Astrology, Honoring Our Unique Humanity Through Astrology00:44:30

How should we respond to naysayers of astrology? How can astrology help us honor our unique humanity and our interconnectedness as cosmic beings? 

I'm trying something new! Episodes 26-31 will be me answering some of the most juicy questions I received from my Instagram community. I had so much fun answering these questions, and I hope you'll find something useful from my answers, too. 

(PS - In the intro to the episode, I mentioned the wrong sequence of the episodes. Oops! Episode 26 will actually cover Lion's Gate, Housing Contract, and Chiron in Cancer. Meanwhile, Episode 31 covers questions on working with naysayers of astrology and the contradiction of astrology.)

In this episode, I answered the following questions: 

  • [08:12] "How do I deal with the naysayers of astrology? I feel so discouraged."
  • [26:42] "How does one juggle the concept of each individual being completely unique AND categorizable through astrology?"

Feel free to jump around within & between episodes to listen to the answers to the questions you're interested in! Use the timestamps to help you out :)

If you resonate with my approach to astrology, join me and Britten LaRue in our upcoming year-long astrological learning container, Astrology as Praxis!

16 Feb 20224. Sharon Koe: Embodying Radical Acceptance01:14:55

In today’s episode, my guest in conversation is Sharon Koe. Our conversation here revolved around radical acceptance: what it means, how it applies to working with others in learning spaces, and how Sharon is working with radical acceptance in her work, which has been impacted significantly by the lockdown. Finally, we also discussed how systemic silencing impacts us on a somatic level. It was a rich and truly spiralic conversation full of metaphors.

Here's Sharon's bio: Sharon is an educator, passionate (sometimes to a fault!) to free minds (and bodies) out of fear, and make a-ha moments a common experience. These days she does that through Pilates, and also through written and spoken words - if you let her talk, she just keeps going. She owes a lot of her a-ha moments through her forever teacher and guide, the host of this podcast (aka Jonathan!) :)

Connect with Sharon through her personal IG account @sharonchristykoe for her Ramble Cure Project and new updates on what she's up to, as well as through her studio's account @bravespinepilates for her use of words to free bodies of fear.

27 Nov 2023111. Templates of The Heart: Contemplating The Week of 11.27.2300:43:34

What patterns and templates of relating are we ready to hold with deeper honesty, clarity, and commitment to authenticity? How do we resource ourselves and those we love while moving through the discomfort of relational adjustments? What might relational adjustments teach us about our own needs and agency?

In this offering, I share my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. With the invitation of astrology as the portal and with the guidance from my sacred ancestors, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 11.27.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future.

24 Aug 202228. Ask Jonathan: Houses, Aspects, Stelliums01:13:02

How can we make learning astrological houses intuitive and (more) easeful? What are aspects and should we use aspects by-sign or by-degree? What are stelliums and how do we interpret them?

I'm trying something new! Episodes 26-31 will be me answering some of the most juicy questions I received from my Instagram community. I had so much fun answering these questions, and I hope you'll find something useful from my answers, too.

09 Aug 202220. Erin Kelley: The Malefics & The Bad Houses01:36:40

What wisdom may we glean from cultivating relationships with difficult planets and houses? What gifts might we uncover through working with the small and quiet when our society glorifies the big and loud? How can we increase our capacity for embodiment and wisdom through our relationship with the malefics and the bad houses? 

In this episode, I'm joined for a very magical conversation with astrologer and dear friend, Erin Kelley. Our conversation is centered around the astrological idea of the malefics (Mars and Saturn) and the bad houses (the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses). We spoke about what these ominous-sounding concepts translate to our personal and professional astrological practice, how to deepen our relationship with forces that can feel scary to work with, and how working with them can unlock invaluable wisdom in our daily lives. 

I deeply appreciate Erin's approach to astrology - her insights are firmly rooted in her dedicated studies of the rich tradition of astrology and equally integrated through her personal, intuitive lens. As two self-proclaimed sensitive humans, our conversation feels like a beautiful tribute to the often-unpopular malefics and bad houses, and all the gifts we've received from working with them in our lives. 

Here’s Erin’s bio:

Erin Kelley is an astrologer and intuitive who loves finding beauty and joy in the most unexpected places. A former kundalini yoga and meditation teacher, full spectrum birth worker, and consultative strategist, she believes the book of knowledge is never truly written and has an insatiable curiosity which is continually calling her to adventure and leading her down a number of paths. Erin has studied the nature of invisible things throughout her entire life and in 2020, she began working on the concept of Slow Magick, which is the practice of slowing down and stepping into sacred time, to deeply connect with Nature and the Land to relax, restore, and reveal the natural self. When not ensconced in enthusiastic communion and conversation with the otherworld realms, you can find Erin and on the internet at https://slowmagick.com

26 Dec 202246. Zaneta Sykes: Listening To The Web of Life01:55:36

What does it mean to listen? What does devoting our life to the practice of listening entail? How can listening assist us in cultivating deeper relationships with the greater web of life?

This is a truly special and potent conversation I recorded with my dear friend and teacher, Zaneta Sykes. If you've been tuning in to this podcast for the past couple months, you know that I've been sharing my personal contemplations for the coming at the start of the week. On the final week of 2022, I decided to break the tradition and, instead, to share this conversation with all of you. During this liminal time, it feels more important than ever to focus our energies on listening to what's present for us: in our bodies, in our lives, in our relationships, in the collective.

Zaneta has spent their life contemplating what it means to listen and what it entails to cultivate a practice of deep listening. This conversation traverses many different realms, but at the heart of it, I feel that Zaneta was sharing a crucial lesson about accessing the presence and reclaiming our vital life force through the simple, but profound act of learning to truly listen.

We also discussed Zaneta's multi-dimensional approach to sound and healing modalities, the frustration and joy of liminality, and the corporality of our spiritual lives. Zaneta and I both share conservatory musical trainings, so we share our reflections on what it means to interact with concepts like tradition and having a degree for something so innately human. Finally, we explored how Zaneta's practice of deep listening inform their tarot practice.

Here’s Zaneta’s bio:

Zaneta (they/them) is a queer, multi Brooklyn-based sound ritualist, listening educator, nature recordist, creativity activist, tarot reader, and podcast host. At the core of their work is a deep desire to remember how to live in interconnectedness. Whether that is through meditation and connecting with the self, or in community rituals to connect to the land, Zaneta weaves sound and ritual to create experiences that transform the way participants hear and connect to the world. 

In the spirit of an interconnected world, Zaneta focuses on supporting folx to make their art and express themselves fully, knowing that interconnection and interdependence are rooted in our individual wholeness and that our authentic creative expression is at the heart of that wholeness. It’s towards this collective vision that Zaneta offers channeled tarot readings for creative liberation, and offers readings to support artists in navigating their careers and projects.

You can find Zaneta's work on their website, Instagram, and podcast - Art Witch

24 Jul 202386. Anchoring into Existential Agency: Contemplating The Week of 07.24.2300:46:42

What is our relationship with the power of our mere existence? How is our mere existence and our presence impacting the world around us? What is the relationship between our existence and the actions that we take?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

29 Nov 202241. Relationality & Collapsing Timelines: Contemplating The Week of 11.28.2200:38:14

How do we honor our relationships while timeline-jumping? How do we allow death to usher in emptiness as creative practice? How can we hold space for both hopefulness and hopelessness?

In this episode, I shared my notes for the current week - Nov. 28 - Dec. 4, 2022. Some big topics wanted to come through as we astrologically move certain stories forward alongside a wonky, yet spunky timeline. With the guidance of the planetary ancestors, the cards, the Akashic and the Cosmic Body consciousness, as well as my own sacred ancestors, I hope these transmissions serve to assist you in deepening your relationship with your own path as a spirit living a human reality.

I also pulled cards: Death and Two of Wands from the Thoth Tarot. You can check out the photo here.

01 Jul 2024160. Rubber Spirituality: On Spiritual Practices & Spiritual Principles00:32:50

Where does the rubber meet the road when it comes to our spiritual practices? What principles, beliefs, and values underlie our spiritual practices? How might contemplating them more deeply help us orient towards practices that align with the chapter of life we're in?

This is the first installment (hopefully of many more) where I explore the theme of embodied practical spirituality. Our spiritual practices don't exist in a vacuum. They are part of the larger ecosystem of our lives.

How do we begin building bridges between our so-called mundane realities and our spiritual lives? What caused the divide in the first place? How might we begin dissolving the arbitrary divisions and embracing the potential for our daily reality to initiate us?

Drop any questions you may have for me here.

25 Nov 202240. Jeff Hinshaw: Cultivating The Flame of Devotion01:28:58

What is devotion? What role can devotion play in our path as spiritual beings? How can tarot and astrology assist us in deepening our devotional practices?

For many of us, myself included, the word ‘devotion’ has become a keyword closely associated with the zodiac sign Virgo. In this episode, my partner in conversation, Jeff Hinshaw, invited us to expand our perspective on what it means to cultivate a devotional practice.

We discussed what Jeff is learning from this current chapter of their practice - while Saturn transits their 1st house and Jupiter is (mostly) in Pisces. We also spoke about religious trauma and the role that modalities like tarot and astrology can play in helping us connect with spirit when our religious / spiritual upbringing do not provide a place where it feels safe to bring our whole selves.

Jeff is someone I admire deeply for their ability to not only present wisdom in an accessible, healing manner, but also embody and exude the frequency of his transmissions with sincerity, gentleness, and care. This conversation is no exception. It’s a fluid, mystical transmission recorded at a liminal threshold (on 11.11.22!) and it feels right to share it as the Sun leaves the watery realm of Scorpio into the fiery land of Sagittarius.

Here’s Jeff’s bio:

Jeff Hinshaw (he/they) is an intuitive practitioner fusing together over a decade of experience working with tarot, astrology, and somatic healing.  Jeff’s practice is grounded in reverence for the elements, nature, the Earth, and Spirit.  Jeff offers their unique expertise of ritual, tarot, and astrology to guide others on journeys of self-exploration, transformation and healing.

Jeff is the host of the podcast Cosmic Cousins.  Released on the New and Full Moon, each episode facilitates a deeper connection to the Moon and the current astrological transits.  Jeff is also the founder of the Brooklyn Fools: Tarot Journey – a 22-week ritual gathering through the Major Arcana of the tarot.  Dubbed as a “radical tarot school” by National Geographic, the Brooklyn Fools Tarot Journey has been an active Tarot Community since 2014.  Jeff’s teachings of the tarot go hand-in-hand with their astrological practice.

You can find Jeff and his work on his website, his podcast, and his Instagram.

28 Oct 2024177. The Process is The Point00:33:36

What might shift when we orient to the unfinished process of life as nourishment, rather than obstacles? What perspectives become available to us when we treat iterations as gifts? 

In this episode, I digest and deepen into some of the transmissions that came through the monthly astrological contemplation for October 2024 (Episode 174. Embodying The Resource: Astrology of October 2024).

We discussed: 

  • Venus in Sagittarius & meeting the meandering nature of desire
  • Confronting the fear of releasing pressures & expectations from our Work
  • Creating space for deeper alchemy

04 Sep 202395. Remembering Wholeness, Embracing Earth: Contemplating The Week of 09.04.2300:47:36

How might the earth signs deepen the process of remembering our wholeness? What wisdom might arise when we bring all parts of us when interacting with the world? How has your worldview and identity shifted since the start of 2023?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 09.04.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. 

This week opens with Jupiter stationing retrograde. Mercury and the Sun create trines to Jupiter. We also have a Mercury cazimi.

03 Mar 202211. Sabrina Monarch: Pluto, Manifestation & Shadow Work01:33:13

My guest in conversation today is one of my beloved astrology teachers, friend, and mentor, Sabrina Monarch. We sat down sometime in late 2021 to record a deep, honest, nuanced, and open conversation about Sabrina’s personal practices. Sabrina shared how our spiritual practices and spiritual lives can be a 360 degree practice - from finding ourselves reflected in an archetypal language to manifestation and visualization to allowing that to trickle down to more fully owning up to our Plutonic power on an embodied way.  We discussed the very real, personal ways that astrology helped Sabrina through her own spiritual awakening, how true manifestation and shadow work are actually two sides of the same coin, and how Pluto relates to her embodiment practices.

Here's Sabrina's bio: 

Sabrina Monarch is an author, evolutionary astrologer, and counselor/coach. She gained an unconventional education in creative writing by discovering an online writing community at age 12 and gaining dozens of mentors who would help her learn how to write for the next several years. She developed an interest in astrology at a young age as well, and took her craft deeper in her early twenties. She writes weekly forecasts at www.monarchastrology.com, is the host of a podcast about spiritual lifestyle and personal evolution called Magic of the Spheres, and she teaches astrology online, including an all-levels Evolutionary Astrology Intensive and advanced alumni courses. Sabrina is widely appreciated for her poetic voice and capacity to name subtle, abstract undercurrents of any particular astrological moment. She has an M.A. in Philosophy, Cosmology and Consciousness from the California Institute of Integral Studies and currently resides in Portland, Oregon.

Connect with Sabrina on Instagram @sabrinamonarch, on Facebook, or through her website www.monarchastrology.com. Sabrina's Evolutionary Astrology Intensive is such a potent offering that brings together communities of curious and brilliant seekers together for a deep dive into a soul-centered astrological path, of which I'm a proud alumni.

25 Nov 2024180. Emily Bingham: Sustainable Creativity Beyond The Content Machine00:48:56

How have the shifts in the distribution of information impact the mindset of readers in recent decades? What is the role of spiritual practitioners within the current media ecosystem? How might artists and creators design a path of sustainable, reciprocal relationships with those who enjoy their work?

On the one hand, the current media landscape provides an ideal setting for anyone who'd like to share their work. As long as you have internet and a device, you could theoretically share your work with the whole digital world. On the other hand, it can feel increasingly challenging to get our work to the right people, let alone to cut through the noise and make a sustainable living.

In this captivating conversation, I invited writer and editor Emily Bingham to share her extensive experience and brilliant insights on these big questions.

Here's Emily's bio:

Emily Bingham is a writer and editor working at the intersection of nature, wonder and well-being. Her work aims to guide readers to a deeper awareness of and appreciation for the complex living landscapes around us and within ourselves. Most recently she was a reporter for Michigan’s largest digital news site, where she covered nature, the night sky, regional travel and outdoor recreation. She is currently on a self-made sabbatical after nearly 20 years in journalism. In addition to learning what it means to truly rest, she is exploring continued ways of being a facilitator of curiosity and connection – this time through her trainings in astrology, herbalism, flower essences, yoga nidra and guided time in nature. Follow her on instagram at @emilyisoutside for current writings and future offerings.

Emily also recently recorded a lo-fi yoga nidra practice, which you can access here.

19 Oct 2023104. EYES ON THE EDGE: Contemplating Mars01:10:58

What might we learn from cultivating a devotional praxis with Mars? How might cultivating this devotional praxis with Mars assist those who are feeling the call? How do we shift our fears and assumptions of Mars, and begin collaborating with Mars on life-giving and nourishing endeavors?

A few weeks ago, I announced EYES ON THE EDGE - an 8-week container to explore Mars through energetic experiments, self-inquiry, and embodiment practices. In this episode, I shared about: 

  • What working with Mars has taught me
  • Why I'm passionate to invite you into this container
  • The structure of the container: what you'll learn, how I'll approach it as a facilitator, the practice sequence

We begin our journey on Tuesday, October 24th. 

Registration will open until Monday, October 23rd or until the container is full. 

Join us here.

I read the works of Vattius Valens, Richard Tarnas, and Kristin Mathis's translation of the Orphic Hymn to Mars (used with permission).

14 Aug 202390. Vision, Nature & Capacity: Contemplating New Moon in Leo & The Week of 08.14.2300:38:12

What do the Sun and the Moon, Uranus, and Mars teach us about vision, nature, and capacity? How do we balance our visions for reality, our true nature, and our current capacity? How might contemplating our nature and taking inventory of our capacity assist us in bringing forth our visions with ease, clarity, and compassion?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 08.14.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. 

This week brings in the New Moon in Leo, which makes a square to Uranus in Taurus. In addition, Mars in Virgo will also make a trine to Uranus in Taurus. 

Some additional questions to contemplate for this episode: 

  • How are your visions serving your ability to tap into your true nature more easefully? How is understanding your true nature giving you access to more potent, more authentic visions for your life?
  • How is your true nature nurtured by honoring your capacity, by being discerning about what you’re here to tackle at this moment & what you’re deciding to not give your attention to? Is there any connection between your capacity and your natural appetite? What happens if you gauge your capacity not from a mental place, but from allowing your body to move towards that which it has energy from, and allowing your body to be still when there’s no response?
  • How might accessing expansive visions for yourself assist you in tuning into what you want to available for & what you don’t really care to tend to in this moment? How might cultivating discernment about what concerns you want to put energy into assist you in accessing these deep visions?

07 Mar 202362. Contemplating Deep Listening & The 2023 Virgo Full Moon with Zaneta Sykes01:12:58

What can Virgo energy teach us about deep listening? How can Pisces balance Virgo's energies? How can we incorporate the energy of Virgo and Pisces into ritual during the Full Moon? 

Join me for this lively impromptu conversation with my dear friend, Zaneta Sykes.  We originally recorded this conversation for Instagram Live (you can watch the video version here). I ended up really loving the transmissions that came through so I decided to share this with all of you here, too.

We discussed what Zaneta's Virgo Moon has taught them about artmaking and relationality through the practice of deep listening, how we can cultivate the energy of Virgo to its most expansive and life-giving expression, and also some ritual ideas for today's Virgo Full Moon. 

You can also listen to my conversation with Zaneta on Healing The Spirit: Listening To The Web of Life on Healing.

If you live in the New York area, I invite to check out Zaneta's upcoming sound journey event on March 10, 2023, Where Land Meets Sky.

Where Land Meets Sky is a somatic-sound journey of the elements, exploring the body’s connection to water, fire, thunder, ice, wind, and seismic forces through listening. 

Participants will be guided through an immersive, listening experience, mapping the subtle sounds of the elements in the body. After listening, participants will co-create an original sound piece which will serve as a sonic offering to the forest, that will later be played back to every river, stream, ridge, cave, and tree that shared their songs. So that the entire project is a full circle, reciprocal exchange of listening and transmission between community and forest.

Date: Friday March 10, 2023

Time: 8p-10p EST

Location: Grand Street Healing Project (105 Grand Street Brooklyn, NY 11249)

Cost: $44 with sliding scale, pay what you can spots available

Get your tickets here.

Included: 1 bottle of Moon Pool listening land essence, a recording of the community sound art piece, and video links to the offerings to the forest

05 Aug 2024165. The Life-Changing Magic of Authentic Planning: How To Prioritize Your Heart in Streamlining Your Process00:54:38

What is authentic planning? How might we be able to use our planning skills to create work that feels energetically true to us? Are there times when planning actually compromise the sacred flow of the work?

In this episode, I shared lessons and contemplations on the heart of planning. Contrary to popular beliefs, planning will neither solve all your problems nor will it kill your creativity. The truth, of course, is more nuanced.

Planning is a tool. Like any other tool, there are considerations for using it well. Planning can help us effectively direct our efforts towards important projects that bring deep satisfaction. Planning can feel authentic, easeful, and liberating. In contrast, planning can also imprison us, frustrate us, or distract us from the true work at hand.

So what distinguishes life-giving planning from soul-sucking planning? 

In hindsight, I'm surprised it's taken this long for me to talk about planning on the podcast. As a Virgo rising, this is one of the major themes in my life that continue to pop up no matter where I go. I've resorted to planning obsessively when I'm frustrated or heartbroken. I've also kneeled at the altar of planning and have lifelong prayers be answered with a great deal of surprising efficiency.

Special thanks to Tiffany (@tiffografi on Threads) for sharing a question that prompted this exploration, as well as to Michelle Pellizzon who's taught me to heal my heart and fall back in love with my life through organization, clarity, and System Spells.

22 Aug 202225. Nicole France-Coe: Trickster Priestess in The Liminal01:09:30

What does it mean to be devoted to The Great Mystery? What possibilities are available when we allow ourselves to live in the cracks, in between worlds, in The Liminal? How do we work with the Trickster Priestess within?

In this highly magical episode, my collaborator Britten LaRue and I are joined by a dearly admired member of our community spaces - Nicole France-Coe. Nicole landed in an astrology course that Britten and I tended to last year, and this year, Nicole  will be joining us as part of the community support team for our upcoming course, Astrology as Praxis along with Jaclyn Skeans, who was the guest of Episode 23. This conversation is as unapologetically mystical, profound, and grounded as Nicole's presence is.

We discussed how Nicole found our spaces through a deep, intuitive call to learn astrology, how Nicole's life led them to the devotional path to The Great Mystery, and what she's learned about being living in the liminal as a mixed race, gender non-conforming, neurodivergent human. Nicole also spoke about her experience with astrology - trusting the stars to tell her who she is, working directly with the planets through her own embodied gnosis, and how astrology connects them to their ancestors. 

Nicole, Britten, and I had such a fun time during the point of the conversation where we collectively realized that Astrology as Praxis will be a year-long dance party with the planets. I'm excited for you to experience Nicole's magic with us in Astrology as Praxis. 

Here’s Nicole’s bio:

Nicole Providence France-Coe (she/they) is a devotee to Great Mystery and all Its beauty, pleasure, liminality, and dismantling power. She is more at home in the Unknown than the Binary and the Static. Being born onto Earth as a mixed race, gender non-conforming, neurodivergent human has provided the blood and bone blueprint for learning how to dance in the cracks.

Nicole relates deeply to the archetypal energy of the Trickster as well as the High Priestess and delights in wedding these two energies in her body and through her oracular offerings.

This fall, with her partner Dicky, they will be launching their business website, The Lion & the Lute. This space will hold their offerings in service to ancestral healing, oracular arts, handmade goods and flower essences.

In the meantime, you can reach Nicole at nicoleprovidence@gmail.com or IG @nicolefrancecoe.

In this episode, Nicole also mentioned the hypnosis session facilitated by Megan Frye of Healing Wave Hypnosis, The Lyceum - The Sacred Trust https://sacredtrust.org/workshops/pollen/ as well as Kathryn Solie's poisonous plant medicine class https://www.kathrynsolie.com/

Join me and Britten LaRue in a year-long astrological learning container, Astrology as Praxis! Our curriculum explores various portals to approaching and integrating astrology into our lives - as a practice for unlocking creativity, questioning consensus reality, and remembering our participation in the cosmic body. We begin our journey on Sep 10, 2022, and registration will open on Aug 26-28, 2022.

15 Nov 202237. Making Space for Safety: Contemplating The Week of 11.14.2200:28:40

What happens if we consciously allow narratives and evidence of levity, of being nourished and cared for, to also coexist with stories of pain and trauma? What can you release to access the joy of release from pressure? What can you amplify to nourish your awareness that danger is, in fact, no longer a part of your present-time reality?

In this episode, I shared my notes for the current week - Nov. 14 - Nov. 20, 2022. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, I hope these messages will serve you as walk your path.

This week, the invitation is to remember that our capacity for feeling safety is something we always have access to, even if we still feel ourselves to be dancing in the dark. While Venus and Mercury exit the watery depths of Scorpio into the fiery adventures of Sagittarius, the Sun will still be in Scorpio. While we may still feel the grip of Scorpio’s fearless dive into the shadows, our bodies and our minds may actually have more access to expansiveness and levity, to the tangy flavor of possibilities.

Just because we’re in the dark, doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. Just because we’re in a tight spot, doesn’t mean we can’t let our animal bodies breathe a sigh of relief.

I also pulled cards: Justice from Serpentfire Tarot and Dreaming / Lizard / 64th hexagram from Animal Totems & The I-Ching. You can check out the photo here.

01 Sep 2024169. Arriving at Simplicity: Astrology of September 202400:30:50

How do we hold the complexity of arriving at simplicity? How does becoming aware of love's presence help us transform fear into wisdom? How does working with our emotional pain assist with returning us to innocence?

The theme for September is Arriving at Simplicity. 

The route to simplicity is often anything but simple. It can be riddled with confusion, chaos, and doubt. 

In this episode, I share some contemplations for us to return to throughout the month. 

September 2024 starts with a New Moon in Virgo. It ends with the Sun conjoining the North Node in Libra. In between, we have the Full Moon in Pisces, which ushers the second eclipse season of the year, and Mars entering Cancer.

23 Oct 2023105. Sharp Visions, Tender Bodies: Contemplating The Week of 10.23.2300:32:18

How might we tend to the tenderness that lies beneath our protective layers? How do we honor the desire to stay soft in a harsh world? How do we work with the quickness of our visions and the slowness of our bodies?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

18 Aug 202391. Rachel Blodgett of Serpent & Bow: The Secret Body01:43:28

What does being in a body teach us about the nature of being in process? How might our lived experiences serve as connective tissues linking our artistic and spiritual practices?

Recorded in November 2022 - towards the end of The Lovers year, where the lunar nodes were in the Scorpio-Taurus axis - my conversation with Rachel Blodgett continued to work its potent medicine through me. Rachel is a kindred spirit and an artist whose work I dearly admire. You may know her from her Serpent & Bow garments. 

As I'm thawing out of a period of hibernation from creating and sharing conversations, this one feels ripe to share. 

We discussed about the secret body (a term Rachel came up with during our conversation), holding space for the human process, creating art, and symbols. 

It's a fertile, rich conversation that keeps on giving. The conversation unfolded in magical, nonlinear time, and I feel deeply that the themes we covered here are more present now in the collective than ever. 

May this conversation serve as a catalyst and a reminder for you, too.

Here's Rachel's bio:

Established in 2012, Serpent & Bow is the full time ritual art practice of Rachel Blodgett.

Working with natural materials and visual magic, Serpent & Bow explores transformative and liberatory embodiment through the creation, wear, and use of ritual artworks.

Rachel Blodgett (she/her) is an artist and poetic spellcrafter from Santa Rosa, California.

​She is devoted to the mystery of  being human, and to courtship with artistic expression as a method of communicating with the universe.

16 Apr 2024142. The Life That Is Ours To Live: Contemplating The Week of 04.15.2400:39:16

20 Apr 202370. Natasha Levinger: Healing Your Inner Child01:15:40

Who is the inner child? How do we know when we're experiencing the world through the lens of our wounded inner child? How can learning to relate to our inner child, inner critic, and inner adult assist us in living more fully in the present moment? 

Join me for this powerful, in-depth conversation with my dear friend, Natasha Levinger, on inner child healing. Natasha's book, Healing Your Inner Child: Re-Parenting Yourself for a More Secure & Loving Life, was recently published and it's easily one of my favorite books of the year. 

To celebrate the release of the book, I invited Natasha for a conversation where we discussed what inner child healing is, the resistance that can come up when we engage with our inner child, and how inviting our inner adult can greatly assist us in healing our inner child.

In addition, Natasha and I also discussed timeline jumping and how inner child healing can help us on a collective level. 

CW: We briefly mentioned suicidal ideation in this episode.

Here's Natasha's bio: 

Natasha Levinger is a therapeutic intuitive, inner child healing expert and the founder of Highest Light Healing. With a trauma-informed approach imbued with compassion and humor, she empowers self-healers to trust themselves and heal whatever is blocking that connection. She is the co-host of the podcast, “Getting to Know Woo,” and teaches classes in addition to seeing clients one on one.

08 Jul 2024161. Trends, Traditions, Truth: Navigating The Ebbs & Flows of Spiritual Pursuits01:05:36

How might we uncover our own truth in a world of infinite options? How do we contextualize the inevitability of trends in spiritual spaces? How do we approach traditions with discernment and wisdom?

In this episode, I explored the complexity of trends and traditions within spiritual spaces. 

These can be polarizing topics. 

Too often, it's easy to either chase trends while losing a sense of who we are or to dismiss trends as mere fads. 

Likewise, it's also tempting to fall into the trap of revering traditions at all costs, neglecting to ask important questions rooted in common sense and to harden ourselves around "That's just the way things have been done." 

I will be teaching the next round of Deep Spirit Medicine, a foundational energetic cultivation course, which will begin on Thursday, July 18, 2024. Join the waitlist here.

03 Feb 202355. Erin Tack Shipley: Astrology, Care Work & Collapse01:32:42

How might we approach astrologer-client relationships through the lens of care work? How do we cultivate secure attachment in these relationships? How can astrology assist us in the process of caring for our chosen families?

I'm excited to share this expansive, Jupiterian-wisdom-weaving conversation with the brilliant astrologer ET Shipley. Erin and I have been working together in a 1:1 capacity in the past few months and I've been continuously inspired by the compassion, presence, resourcefulness, and commitment with which Erin shows up to each session.

In this conversation, we discussed what it means to be an astrologer who also does client work in the age of collapse. Erin also shared how she frames the idea of care work through the lens of the 3rd and the 6th house as well as the Moon, Mercury, and Mars.

Halfway through the conversation, Erin shared some thoughts about the Mars in Gemini transit. I find this part of our conversation so illuminating, especially in light of the fact that we've been living out this transit for 6 months or so.

Here's Erin's bio: 

Erin Tack Shipley is a liberation-centered, collapse astrologer supporting folx in staying with the challenge of being in right relationship within and beyond systems of oppression. Working with astrology and attachment fundamentals, Erin helps people reconcile the gap between how they are in the reality of their present conditions and who they perceive themselves to be in their ideal world. Erin lives, works and tends community on the unceded and occupied lands of the Amah Mutsun, Popeloutchom, Awaswas and Ohlone peoples.

18 Feb 20226. Natasha Levinger: Empowering Ourselves Through Energy Healing01:18:51

In today’s episode, I had a conversation with Natasha Levinger, who’s an intuitive reader, inner child healing teacher, and energy healer. We discussed Natasha’s journey to finding this work, the difference between energy reading / energy healing and psychic work, the role of empowerment and imagination in her work; the relationship between creativity, perfectionism, and collaboration; and also some very nuanced discussions on love, light, and spiritual bypassing. It’s a conversation with lots of full-bellied laughs - and listening back I love how Natasha’s generous and kind energy really came through.

CW: We discussed suicidal thoughts in this episode.

Here’s Natasha's bio:  

Natasha grew up as a sensitive empath in a home where it was very challenging to be one. After she left home she became impassioned to know herself well enough to decipher what was her information or her feelings and what was coming from her family programming and trauma or other people. After years of self healing and education ranging from a B.A. in Human Development to a variety of disciplines of energy healing, she decided to make it her life’s work to help others.

Using a mix of an energy reading and healing model that involves the chakra system and other modes of therapeutic models such as Inner Child Healing and Mindful Self Compassion, she has helped hundreds of people to heal past trauma. She also has a passion for animals and loves helping people connect and communicate to their animals with her help. Through her practice, Highest Light Healing, she looks forward to helping even more people through classes, sessions with her, guided meditations and more.

Natasha lives in Asheville, NC with her husband, two children and (currently) 16 rescue animals!

Connect with Natasha through her website, Instagram @highestlighthealing, her podcast with Tess Whitehurst Magic Monday, and her energy reports on MindBodyGreen. You can also book readings, join her courses, and resources like meditations and workbooks on her site.

26 Aug 2024168. The Open Throat Center - Exploring Human Design Concepts00:59:48

What is the open throat center in Human Design? How do we work with its unique gifts and challenges in the process of deconditioning?

The open / undefined throat is one of my favorite topics in Human Design. 

It's said that only 29% of the population has an open throat center, making it the least common out of the open centers. Unsurprisingly (and pun intended), there's a lot of misconceptions, misunderstandings, and, frankly, terrible advice about how to live with an open throat center.

In this episode, I share about my process understanding, deconditioning, and ultimately befriending my undefined throat.

Thank you Kelsey Rose Tortorice for the question! You can listen to my conversation with Kelsey here. She also has incredible courses to help you learn Human Design, Human Design for the Astrologically Minded and Living Your Design. 

I also mentioned my HD teachers, Amy Lee and John Cole of Human Design Collective whose foundational courses on Human Design I highly recommend.

24 Aug 202226. Ask Jonathan: Lion's Gate, Housing Contract, Chiron in Cancer00:29:10

What's the deal with Lion's Gate? Is there an astrologically good time to sign a housing contract? What does it mean to have a Chiron placement in 0 degree Cancer?

I'm trying something new! Episodes 26-31 will be me answering some of the most juicy questions I received from my Instagram community. I had so much fun answering these questions, and I hope you'll find something useful from my answers, too. 

(PS - In the intro to the episode, I mentioned the wrong sequence of the episodes. Oops! Episode 26 will actually cover Lion's Gate, Housing Contract, and Chiron in Cancer. Meanwhile, Episode 31 covers questions on working with naysayers of astrology and the contradiction of astrology.)

In this episode, I answered the following questions: 

  • [08:12] "I want to know the deal with the Lion's Gate portal? Is that astrology? Lol."
  • [11:40] "How do I know when it's a good time to sign a contract for housing?"
  • [19:24] "What does it mean if someone has Chiron at 0 degrees in Cancer?"

11 Mar 2025197. Suprasensory Shahir: Venus Retrograde & The Confrontational Nature of Desire01:10:00

What does it mean to understand Venus as the Intimate Benefic?

What might Venus in Aries teach us about confronting and advocating for our desires? 

Our guest today, Suprasensory Shahir, is one of my favorite emissaries of Venus. Naturally, Shahir offers deep insights and generous, expansive perspectives on the current Venus Retrograde in Aries and Pisces we're experiencing.

We discussed Shahir's perspectives on the planetary retrograde phenomenon, cultivating Venusian qualities in one's self and one's communities when Venusian influences feel scarce in the collective field, and reckoning with our interior parts.

Suprasensory Shahir is a love devotee mystic. A queer Muslim astrologer-diviner currently based in their motherland in Southeast Asia.

They write on their substack 'love as origin, love as destination, love as intermediacy' and have appeared on multiple astrology and spiritual podcasts with their beloved communities.

For this episode, Shahir has an aries venus retrograde in the 5th House of Fortune - the planetary joy of Venus.

21 Feb 20227. Mary Schuch: Why Are We Obsessed with Cults?01:21:48

In today’s episode, my guest in conversation and my partner in crime is Mary Schuch. As two survivors of religious trauma who are still #1 Fan of Spirit (TM), we explored Hierophant themes: cultish behaviors, why we engage in them, and how developing an awareness of power dynamics can lead us to new ways of being in teacher-student relationships. We also discussed Mary’s relationship to her inner teacher and how it’s shifted through being in voluntary learning spaces and committing to her own personal practices.

Our conversation was fun, funny, wild, irreverent, and completely non-linear. Listening back, it feels brave to me - questions and ponderings were required and answers were optional. We spoke in metaphors and along the way, there were tons of laughters, detours, thinking on our feet, and, of course, cursing.

Here's Mary's bio:

Mary describes herself as someone who is committed to showing up for the experience of belonging in a human body.

Informed by her upbringing as a homeschooled pastor's kid and the eighth of eleven siblings, Mary is reclaiming her right to exploration and education.

She values meditative multidisciplinary living through her practices of writing, music, art, movement, breadmaking, astrology, and being outdoors. Through these avenues, Mary is joyfully emerging as an intuitive and comedic mystic.

Mary has spent most of the last decade deep in thought in gardens, on a lobster boat, and more recently, an oyster farm. She is originally from the Chicago area and currently lives on an island in Maine.

Connect with Mary on Instagram @maryschuch and book a reading with her. Mary always helps me gain new insights and perspectives, and she also makes me laugh - which is truly the best medicine. 

Mary also mentioned the book Writing the Mind Alive: The Proprioceptive Method for Finding Your Authentic Voice by Linda Trichter Metcalf, Tobin Simon.

Here are timestamps for our discussion:

  • [06:44] Jonathan on the concept of Future Language.
  • [12:04] Verena on simultaneously learning astrology and English
  • [17:00] Sabrina on language to describe something never named before, and the somatic experience of receiving that language; the contrast between daily language and astrology
  • [20:20] Mirella on the experience of learning astrology alongside Italian; approaching languages through analytical means vs. intuitively allowing language to wash over you; the feeling component in language
  • [27:34] Kelly on how archetypes infuse our consciousness; how astrology introduces us to dimensions not available in our education and work systems
  • [30:50] Verena on the movement of the astrological nodal axis from Gemini - Sagittarius into Taurus - Scorpio.
  • [33:48] Jenny on language and meaning-making; the slippery, ever-shifting nature of astrology challenging our notion of fixed-ness in our meaning-making.
  • [36:44] Jonathan on channeling - how artists and corporate VPs are essentially channeling when they create something out of nothing; how to be a clear channel
  • [38:42] Kelly on working with the chart to guide ourselves to find the appropriate setup for our specific channels
  • [39:48] Sabrina on the relationship between Vesta and Hermes: the importance of discerning the fire we want to tend to in being a clear channel
  • [42:04] Mirella on the connection between Mercury and Uranus
  • [43:36] Verena on the Akashic records: the potential overwhelm and the need for discernment when working in the vast realm of information
  • [47:14] Maddie on astrology as the lens with potential to evolve us and those around us
  • [48:04] Jenny on the how language can get stuck, how astrology can be flattened; the need to be careful about creating a dogmatic framework using language that can be used to categorize people
  • [49:40] Jonathan on moving away from completely merging the human and their birth chart in astrological readings
  • [51:12] Fabiola on how astrology holds the spirit of connection and as the language of movement, connecting to dreams and more fluid ways of being in the world; astrology as the language that offers an alternative to pain associated with our daily language
  • [53:22] Nicole on using language to disguise one’s self and to blend in; astrology as a language we can use for ourselves and our use only, to get to know ourselves.
  • [56:04] Rudy on developing astrological fluency alongside the language of depth psychology; the Logos of astrological language.
  • [1:03:56] Verena on the fear of speaking, the witch wound in relation to Capricorn, Gemini, and Scorpio; the power of astrology in helping liberate us from the fear of speaking out
  • [1:08:24] Jonathan muses that perhaps astrology is more than a language, and how astrology itself has evolved over time. How do we revolutionize astrology? Is astrology more than a language?
  • [1:09:40] Sabrina on bridging astrology with other disciplines.
  • [1:11:26] Jenny on bridging decolonization work with studying the divine.
  • [1:13:52] Kelly on the role of our throat’s vibration in creating our reality and how our colonized languages create a veil that prevents us from seeing this.
  • [1:17:06] Verena on our collective move to a new timeline; the need for us to expand the astrological language as astrologers.
  • [1:23:04] Sabrina on considering each archetype as sentient beings and cultivating non-extractive relationships with astrology
  • [1:25:50] Kelly on working at an energetic level to bring us to deeper relationships with archetypes
  • [1:27:36] Rudy on the etymology of oration; astrology as prayer, which goes beyond language.

12 Aug 202221. Astrology as Communal Practice with Charting Your Course 2021 Class01:23:34

How can we build new worlds by learning astrology together as a community? How can astrology assist us imagining new ways of being with each other in community?

In this very special episode, my collaborator Britten LaRue and I are joined by our astrology students from the Charting Your Course 2021 Cohort! This was such a fun episode to record and I hope you enjoy it as much we enjoyed recording it. We discussed:

  • What they've learned about themselves, others, and the world around them from learning
  • How applying and questioning ‘knowledge’ is as powerful as accruing it, and how it happened within a community of learners.
  • What learning astrology has taught them about cultivating themselves and others in their lives.
  • What trepidations they experienced in terms of learning together and being in a long-term learning container.
  • What they learned about being with yourself and being in community since learning astrology within the community.

This coming September 2022, Britten and I will share a new offering - Astrology as Praxis - which is a year-long journey to learn, un-learn, and integrate the magic of astrology in our lives as individuals, communities, and members of the larger cosmic body. We warmly welcome you to visit our course page to learn more about this offering and sign up to receive updates from us.  

It was such a joy to meet again as a group and to share this conversation with a wider audience. The energy and vitality of this group is palpable and everyone supported each other - not just in learning astrology, but as humans living the beautiful and brutal experiences of being humans.  

A special thank you to John Beynon, Amy Lauricello, Bridget Scanlon, Mary Schuch, and Jaclyn Skeans for contributing their insights and lived wisdom. Read more about them below: 

John has been reading tarot since the early ‘90s and has been intertwining astrology and tarot in his personal practice, which he often shares through his Instagram account at @the.charyot. He brings a social justice lens to his work in the intuitive arts, and he is currently interested in how the modalities of tarot and astrology support recovery for people who are liberating themselves from substance abuse disorders.

Mary describes herself as someone who is committed to showing up for the experience of belonging in a human body. Informed by her upbringing as a homeschooled pastor's kid and the eighth of eleven siblings, Mary is reclaiming her right to exploration and education. She values meditative multidisciplinary living through her practices of writing, music, art, movement, breadmaking, astrology, and being outdoors. Through these avenues, Mary is joyfully emerging as an intuitive and comedic mystic. Mary has spent most of the last decade deep in thought in gardens, on a lobster boat, and more recently, an oyster farm. She is originally from the Chicago area and currently lives on an island in Maine. You can find Mary @maryschuch.

Jaclyn Skeans (she/her) is an avid list maker (Virgo Rising), lover of all things magical (Pisces Sun), and always curious about how you're really doing (Scorpio Moon). Cultivating a more intimate relationship with astrology and the planets has been an ever evolving gift, one that currently has Jaclyn creating a life that inspires and excites her. In the real world you'll most likely find Jaclyn out on meandering walks with her dog, sitting in the sun, or in her sewing studio creating Astro Hoops- custom, textile creations that turn your natal chart into tangible art. Online you can find her on instagram @thePeachBungalow or at www.thePeachBungalow.com

25 Mar 2024137. What Eclipses Teach Us About Presence: Contemplating The Week of 03.25.2400:54:34

What valuable lessons might eclipses teach us about presence? How does presence serve as a gateway to coherence and congruence? How might returning to our analog nature help us remember who we are? 

As we enter the first eclipse season of the year, I share some contemplations on the symbology and implications of the penumbral lunar eclipse on March 25, 2024.

I also share practical suggestions and perspective reframes to help you ground during these stirring times.

03 Jan 202348. Visions of Pluto in Aquarius with Verena Borell01:44:24

What might Pluto's seismic shift into Aquarius bring into our psyche, our lives, and the collective? What regenerative visions are available for our transformations? What is the textures, shape, and taste of the challenges that may await us?

My guest in conversation today is the brilliant evolutionary astrologer and my dear friend, Verena Borell. We discussed and evoked the archetype of Pluto in Aquarius, which will slowly emerge starting March 2023. We mused on the slow, intense transit of Pluto in Aquarius, its role as the bridge between Pluto in Capricorn and Pluto in Aquarius, and the transformation on both the personal and collective we may witness and birth in the coming years. 

We hope to support you in gaining greater clarity and awareness to discover the expansive potential of this upcoming transit.

You may also want to watch the video version of this transmission on Verena's YouTube channel

Here’s Verena’s bio:

Verena Borell lives and works as an evolutionary astrologer, healer, and translator for cosmic energies in Villach, Austria. To expand and deepen the wisdom school of evolutionary astrology, Verena enriches it with a dash of archetypal and shamanic astrology. Additionally, Verena connects with her own intuition, spiritual guidance, and reads the Akashic Records.

Verena considers astrology as a lived experience. For her, astrology and the planets are neither above nor detached from life but rather a part of an enchanted, wise and meaningful universe which includes nature, earth, the cosmos, humans, animals and also entities from other dimensions and extraterrestrial realms.

Verena considers evolutionary astrology and the akashic records as powerful systems and magical tools to navigate our soul’s experience in this incarnation here in earth school and to connect with a higher Truth, Love, Light, and Source. The cosmos reflects the overarching energy of evolution on a personal and collective level. Therefore, astrology helps us raise our consciousness, find back to our light and return to Love. For Verena rituals, meditation and prayers to the planets, goddesses and gods are part of her astrological practice, soul’s path and heart work.

02 Jan 202347. Honoring Slow Beginnings: Contemplating The Week of 01.02.202300:43:38

How do we work with beginnings that feel slow and tentative? How can tending to and clearing our energetic congestions assist us with attracting fresh ideas and new inspirations? How are we invited to reframe our relationship to support during slow beginnings?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages  will serve you as you walk your path.

This week, Venus enters Aquarius and we'll have a Full Moon in Cancer. All of this will occur under the influence of Mars retrograde in Gemini and Mercury retrograde in Capricorn.

I mentioned Weyes Blood's 2022 album And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow, which I feel is a gorgeous soundtrack to the Full Moon in Cancer. You can find the album and support her work on Bandcamp or other streaming services.

Where can we practice a healthy dose of detachment and surrender? Where can we use our imagination to fortify our energetic boundaries? Where can we use our creativity to enact a natural buffer between ourselves & the world around us?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages  will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 03.13.23, I also offer the possibility that that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future.

18 Oct 2023103. Britten LaRue: The Emergent No01:14:58

What is The Emergent No? How do we listen and tend to The Emergent No? How can astrology help us in the process of embracing the intense emotions that may come up from our Emergent No?

I'm grateful to share a conversation with my dear friend, collaborator, and mentor Britten LaRue. In 2021, Britten began sharing a framework that she named 'The Emergent No.' In honor of eclipse season, where so many of us receive intense invitations from the cosmos to release things - some of which may feel like a relief and some bringing up a wave of grief - I want to invite Britten to share the wisdom she's grown from tending to the Emergent No's within herself and her clients.

I felt this conversation deeply in my heart space. It feels like a transmission for the parts of us that grieve the things we know are no longer life-giving, but difficult to let go of, nonetheless. I hope our conversation serves as a lantern and a space for tending to your grieving parts.

I invite you to also check out Britten's offerings, specifically:

  • Transformation: Britten's 6 months 1:1 container.
  • Cave Space: A 4-week offering across Scorpio season on attuning to the underworld. The next round begins on Monday, October 23, 2023.
  • Living Astrology: Pre-order Britten's upcoming book on weaving the wisdom of all 12 signs into your everyday life. Release date: March 5, 2024.

If you have enjoyed the podcast, I encourage you to check out my new offering. EYES ON THE EDGE is an 8-week exploration of Mars through energetic experiments, self-inquiry, and embodiment practices. We start the journey on October 24, 2023. If you join us by October 12, I will share a 5-10 minute recorded audio note on your natal Mars. If you identify as intuitives, mystics, artists, and dreamers who would like to cultivate passionate, skilled leadership - this is for you.

07 Aug 202389. Contemplating Venus Retrograde in Leo 2023: Illuminating The Loveless Places00:51:00

Where in our lives are we invited to consciously cultivate love when historically we haven’t received love or we never thought we needed love? What have you accepted as something you don’t need or or as something you don’t want, simply because you’ve never had it or simply because you’ve never seen examples of how desiring it work out well?  

What patterns of dismissing love (or even downright refusing love) can we patiently witness, illuminate & unravel as part of our devotion to Venus during this retrograde? Which parts of us have we allowed to stay in the dark because on a deeper level we don’t believe that this part deserves to be seen, to be held, to be tended to, and to be loved? 

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations on the current Venus Retrograde in Leo. Venus is retrograde in Leo from July 22, 2023 to September 3, 2023. It's a potent time to bring awareness to our relationship to the Venusian and to bring Solar support to illuminate patterns that needed tending. 

I discuss the two distinct phases of this Venus retrograde and how to work with each. 

I mentioned a few resources:

27 May 2024151. Curiosity as a Resource: Contemplating The Week of 05.27.2400:30:20

16 Oct 2023102. Solar Eclipse Meditation: Meeting The World With Loving-Kindness00:34:26

How might introducing the awareness of ourselves as the world and the world as us shift our actions, positions, and attitudes? What does it mean to embrace the world with the same loving kindness and compassion that we embrace ourselves with?

For this week's contemplation, I'm guided to share a channeled loving-kindness meditation practice with you. This practice has been holding me through this difficult week and I hope it will offer you grounding and anchoring. 

If you have enjoyed the podcast, I encourage you to check out my new offering. EYES ON THE EDGE is an 8-week exploration of Mars through energetic experiments, self-inquiry, and embodiment practices.

What are some subtle, unconscious ways that we resist change? How might we embrace our moment-by-moment truths? 

We're exploring some pitfalls I've made in the past when planning my upcoming year.

In this episode, I discussed sneaky ways that we solidify temporary experiences out of fear and need for survival – and how we can unravel and liberate ourselves.

02 Jun 2024153. TanyaMarck Oviedo & Nick Venegoni: Healing The Queer Spirit00:53:16

What does it mean to heal the queer spirit? How might our queerness shape our spirituality and vice versa? How do we collaborate and contemplate in care and creativity?

In this first joint episode with the Queer Spirit podcast, TanyaMarck Oviedo, Nick Venegoni, and I explore the concept of 'healing the queer spirit.' While the three of us only recently connected, we quickly found flow and sweet kinship that felt profound and ancient.

We had juicy discussions around the process of seeing and embracing our experiences as queer people, the magic and work of growing creative collaborations, and queering our definitions of healing.

15 Jan 2024120. Questioning Structures, Welcoming Inspiration: Contemplating The Week of 01.15.2400:23:34

How might creating more space in our lives heal our relationship with structures and with dreams? What do our unconscious patterns teach us about bridging our visions and our realities?

Recorded for the week of 01.15.24, I contemplate the role of creating space to notice our patterns in the context of larger textural shifts in the astrology, namely to Pluto's shift into Aquarius on 01.20.2024.

As we expand into all areas of our lives, how do we work with the tensions and adjustments that inevitably arise? How do we re-center into an authentic sense of spiritual clarity?

In this offering, I share my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. With the invitation of astrology as the portal and with the guidance from my sacred ancestors, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 11.20.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future.

17 Mar 2025198. Navigating Hard Astrology00:56:34

What medicine does hard astrology carry for us?

How do we deepen our relationship with self, others, and the world through being with challenges?

The hardship of life is often mirrored by astrology.

One of the questions I consistently get as an astrologer is: "I'm going through something hard. Do you see that in my chart? What should I do to get out of it?"

Usually, the answer is: yes, I see it in the chart.

But whether the issue gets resolved through engaging astrology is a much trickier question. 

Sometimes, having astrological context inspires creative problem-solving. Other times, it leads into seemingly endless spirals of confusions, what-ifs, and so-whats – which can amplify feelings of powerlessness.

In this episode, I shared my take on how to be with hard astrology.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the intense astrology of March 2025 – this one's for you.

17 Feb 202358. Britten LaRue & Rebecca Padgett: The Wonder of Emergence01:12:42

What does it mean to claim our place at the magician's table? How do we come into right, alive relationship with our emergence? How can the archetype of The Magician assist us in this process of naming, claiming, and sharing our gifts?

My heart feels so full in sharing this potent conversation with my dear friends and teachers, Britten LaRue and Rebecca Padgett. One of Britten's offerings is called The Magician’s Table: A Workshop Circle for Emerging Readers. This year, Rebecca will join Britten as the 13th Reader, a liminal role that both facilitates the experience and receives the collective magic as a fellow participant - so I took it as an opportunity to explore the idea of emergence from their lenses.

During our conversation, I felt that we collectively opened a magical portal. The transmissions that came through felt potent at the time, but are even more prescient in their relevance during the release. 

In the final days of Venus in her exaltation in Pisces during this particular cycle, many of us are inspired by the luscious dreams and visited by the fertile visions. Yet, we may also perceive our current limitations: the ways we need to stretch, to expand, to deepen our capacity to actually build the world where these dreams and visions can grow tangible roots. 

We offer this conversation as a balm for you. Allow yourself to receive. Allow yourself to make space for the wonder of your emergence.

More on The Magician's Table: 

The Magician's Table is a 3-month online transformational container whereby 13 individuals come into my space to gift their voice and their being with the Circle in weekly gatherings. What the participant shares each week is always emergent based on what has been coming up for them. Each week, everyone is paired with a different partner. These partner sessions are opportunities to practice giving and receiving support, and are meant to be experimental spaces for both unlearning and learning how your gifts want to move through you. Moving into contact with your gifts can be incredibly destabilizing and confronting, and thus The Magician's Table is also a death process so you can let die what keeps you from trusting your magic.

If you feel a resonance, read more about The Magician's Table here. Apply for the 2023 cohort here.

Here's Britten's bio:

Britten LaRue is a teacher, an author, and a professional astrologer who spends much of her time speaking and writing. But she is most powerful (as she once heard in meditation) when she listens. In her work as an intuitive guide, she has built a powerful talent as a professional listener. Her clients seek out her skill as a spaceholder not to be told what to do or to be given answers, but to see their own wisdom reflected back to them. And as someone who has learned to trust in her own self-authority, she’d have it no other way. Britten’s deepest calling is to be a midwife for those in the process of birthing their own inner knowing, healing from shame, and learning to trust themselves again with the reckless freedom they deserve. 

In 2023, Britten is in deep apprenticeship with both Saturn and Venus at the intersections of her most core wounds. Saturn is showing her the healing impact she has on others when she inhabits her power from a heart-led frequency of love. Venus is helping her to trust that she is supported in more ways than she can possibly fathom by forces seen and unseen.

24 Feb 202210. Mallory Dowd: Love Notes to Capricorn01:21:33

In today’s episode, I had a conversation with my friend Mallory Dowd. Mallory and I discussed the archetype of Capricorn - which we both feel can be quite misunderstood, or perhaps is up for a re-thinking, re-visioning, re-defining. We spoke to how Capricorn can be understood beyond the confines of our patriarchal, colonial, capitalistic framework as The Artist, The Mystic, The Ritualist, The Crone. Mallory also shared her beautiful love notes to Capricorn, some thoughts around how to work with the Capricorn energy when we feel like there’s too much of it in our system, and how Capricorn is personally meaningful to her when seen through the lens of her lineage. 

As Virgo risings, Mallory and I both have Capricorn ruling the 5th house of joy, creativity, pleasure, and self-expression in our birth charts. This conversation serves both as a devotional prayer and a critical study of Capricorn through the lens of our lived experiences and the infinite possibilities this archetype holds. 

Here's Mallory's bio: 

Mallory Dowd is a tarot reader, artist, teacher, theatre-maker, storyteller, and mystic. She has been holding space for over 15 years in varying roles as a clinical case manager, domestic violence advocate, support group facilitator, teacher, and tarot reader. As an artist, Mallory aims to enchant and awaken, casting spells with her words and urgently embodying the gifts of creativity, imagination, and play. As a reader, she holds warm and compassionate space in which to embrace the energies and invitations that linger on the edges of awareness, desire, and change. She currently resides in Seoul, South Korea.

Connect with Mallory through her website and her Instagram @mallorydowd - where you can check out her blackout poetry and her profound musings on the tarot. Mallory offers both live and recorded readings, and I highly recommend you check out her very potent offerings. She's helped me through some gnarly times and I'm so deeply grateful for Mallory's work.

08 Sep 202232. Amanda Yates Garcia: The Poetry of Witchcraft01:45:14

How can witchcraft help us participate in re-enchanting the world? How do we reclaim our strength and power to enable us to listen to the messages from the spirit of the earth? What is the danger in magic?

To many in the magical world, my guest in conversation today, Amanda Yates Garcia, needs no introduction. Amanda is the author of Initiated: Memoir of a Witch - one of the most dearly beloved text in the community. Gorgeously written, Amanda's book has accompanied many, myself included, through powerful rites of passages - ones that our overculture and conventional education systems never prepared us for. Amanda is also the host of the incredible podcast Between The Worlds. 

In our conversation, we dove right into the deep end, discussing Amanda's creative process, what her witchcraft practice means to her, the connection between capitalism and depression, and what it means to re-enchant the world and to re-connect ourselves with the spirit of earth. 

The depth of Amanda's contemplation and the fullness of Amanda's presence are so deeply inspiring to me, and this whole conversation had me at the edge of my seat. This conversation is a must-listen. It's my deep honor to share this conversation and Amanda's brilliance with you.

Here’s Amanda’s bio:

Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The LA Times, The SF Chronicle, The London Times, CNN, BRAVO, as well as a viral appearance on FOX.

22 Jan 2024122. Mallory Dowd: The Strength Card - "I'm Brave and Terrified"01:36:40

What can the Strength card teach us about authenticity and fear? How might being with our shadows and unmet needs open up space for courageous communications?

Join Mallory Dowd and I for an illuminating, alive conversation on the tarot card of 2024: Strength.

We explored the themes of fear, authenticity, our relationship with identity, how authenticity interacts with time, shadow work, and what it means to communicate with courage, honesty, openness, and thoughtfulness.

We also reflected on 2023, which was a Chariot year, and what that year brought up for us, some of the challenges and the lessons.

Mallory is a tarot reader and writer whose perspectives inspire deeper engagement with life. Mallory is also a dear friend. I admire Mallory's portal-opening questions and her genuine curiosity about the responses these questions bring up. 

Throughout this conversation you'll hear us both challenging, clarifying, and adding to each other's ideas, and freely sharing personal anecdotes from our lives about the Strength card.

06 Feb 202356. Embracing Sweetness as an Elixir - Contemplating The Week of 02.06.2300:39:00

Where does slowing down feel nutritive, caring, and regenerative in your path? Where are you being called to finding sweetness by making sweetness?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages  will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 02.06.23, I also offer the possibility that that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. 

This week, in the aftermath of the Leo Full Moon, the Sun-Uranus square, and the Venus-Mars square, we are experiencing a more easeful sextile between Mercury and Neptune, as well as Venus and Uranus. Mercury also enters Aquarius at the end of the week.

Here's a photo of the cards that I pulled: Who's There from Begin Oracle and 3 of Swords from She Wolfe Tarot.

I mentioned the book Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention Anymore by Johann Hari.

I also mentioned my conversation with Verena Borell on Mercury and the Outer Planets, as well as my conversation with Diana Rose on the astrology of 2023

01 Dec 2024181. Melting The Ice, Revealing The Inner Fire: Astrology of December 202400:38:48

How might we respond to the grief and fear that arise as layers of conditioning melt away? How might we access compassion as we honor difference in our respective paths?

The theme for December is Melting The Ice, Revealing The Inner Fire.

In this episode, I share some contemplations for us to return to throughout the month. 

December 2024 starts with a wobbly New Moon in Sagittarius, ruled by a retrograde Jupiter in Gemini. The second half of the month begins with a Full Moon in Gemini, and the month ends with a gentle New Moon in Capricorn. Mars will retrograde in Leo, Venus will enter Aquarius, and we'll have the second Jupiter-Saturn square.

I also pulled 6 of Pentacles, 8 of Swords, and The Moon from the Tabula Mundi tarot, as well as the Dream card from The Dragon Mother Oracle.

28 Aug 202394. Letting Yourself Have Your Own Experience - Contemplating The Week of 08.28.2300:50:04

What shifts when we make space for our own experience to be valid? How might returning to our selves help us turn toward the world more fully, in deeper participation? What might our relationship with astrology reveal about our relationship with systems larger than ourselves?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 08.28.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. 

This week opens with Uranus going retrograde, leading us into peak retrograde seasons with 6 retrograde planets. In the middle of the week, we have the Full Moon in Pisces. The week ends with Venus stationing direct. 

The cards I pulled for this week are Ace of Swords and Justice from Serpentfire Tarot. You can see the photo of the cards here

I also read a passage from Rick Rubin's The Creative Act.

I mentioned Diana Rose Harper's article "How Personal is This Retrograde?"

07 Oct 2024175. Mars in Cancer: The Warrior in The Primordial Waters00:29:20

Who is Mars, the warrior, in the primordial waters of Cancer? What are their challenges and opportunities? What wisdom might they have for us?

For those of you paying attention, Mars is spending a very long time in Cancer between Fall 2024 - Spring 2025. 

In anticipation of the upcoming Mars Retrograde, I've been noticing subtle messages and telltale signs from Mars in Cancer. 

In this episode, I'm sharing a transmission I received on Mars in Cancer when I facilitated my Mars container, EYES ON THE EDGE

While I'm unlikely to run EYES ON THE EDGE again until another dignified Mars transit (Fall 2025), I encourage you to join our waitlist if you'd like to be the first to hear about it. Also...who knows! Maybe you'll get some secret surprises in your inbox too :)

24 Aug 202393. Madison Nees: The Art of Radical Aliveness01:23:04

What is Radical Aliveness? How can we explore the principles of Radical Aliveness in the laboratory space of our lives? How might being in a group process help us with exploring our deep feelings?

Being in conversation with my friend and teacher Madison Nees is always a profound experience for me. I'm excited for you to listen in and to explore this alive, glowing, curious space we co-created. 

My first conversation with Madison for Healing The Spirit (Ep. 22 Dancing in The Underworld) was recorded about a year ago, right before the first run of her offering, Katabasis: A Journey to Aliveness.

This time, Madison and I met at the crossroads. I’m currently at the end of a yearlong journey with my offering, Astrology as Praxis, and Madison is about to re-enter the field of Katabasis for its second cohort.

The principles of Radical Aliveness guided our conversation. The principles are: 

  • Cultivating a Non-Shaming Heart and Attitude
  • Knowing I Don’t Know
  • Welcoming Multiple Perspectives
  • Being Willing to be Changed
  • Saying YES to Everything

If you're curious about Madison's work, this event coming up on Sunday is great place to start: An Introduction to Radical Aliveness.

Here's Madison's bio:

Madison Nees is a human, counselor, artist, and guide. My practice focuses on the intersection of ecology, ritual and somatics. I have worked in the addiction and trauma treatment industry since 2015. My own journey includes healing from substance use, anorexia nervosa, loss of culture and self. When I began my journey, I did not understand that the pull to somatics was a call of my ancestors. I was being pulled to heal all the things my mother could not and ultimately lost her life avoiding. I was being pulled to feel the things my Grandmother had no language for.

My body knew the language however, and it spoke in illness, pains, aches and rage. It also spoke the language of held grief and aloneness. During this process, I discovered gifts hidden beneath these repressed emotions. These gifts were the sensations. The gifts were the rivers of grief leading me home to myself. They were also the intuition and creativity of my lineage. I always tried to “do” something with the emotions but my healing progressed the more I simply sat with them. Instead of trying to push them away, I wondered what would happen if I let them grow. They grew into my practice today.

You can sign up for Madison's newsletter on Madison's website, and follow Madison's work on Instagram @ritual_body.  Check out Madison's exciting new six-month journey, Katabasis, which will begin on Sep 17, 2023. You can set up a call with Madison if you're curious here. Madison will also be hosting An Introduction to Radical Aliveness on Sunday, Aug 27, 2023.

11 Sep 202396. Sacred Shedding: Contemplating The Week of 09.11.2300:56:58

If the only constant is change, how might we practice change as a way to honor our existence? What can Virgo teach us about reveling in our process of decay? How might we invite the essence of our past selves to be trusted allies in welcoming change?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 09.11.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future.

25 May 2024150. Jupiter in Gemini: Simplicity in Novelty with Verena Borell00:49:14

What wisdom, challenges, and opportunities might Jupiter in Gemini bring us? How do we understand Saturn's role during this transit? How do we sharpen our curiosity skills?

The brilliant Verena Borell is back on the podcast! Early this week, Verena had a spontaneous idea to record a conversation on Jupiter in Gemini. Within 24 hours, we recorded it!

We discussed Jupiter's role in bringing coherence, how Jupiter's transits can be challenging despite their status as the greater benefic, the transition between Jupiter's time in Taurus and Gemini,  the importance of not jumping into conclusions, and how staying rooted in simplicity and intuition may assist us during this time.

To learn more about Verena:

Verena's upcoming course, Transits for Evolution will begin on November 14th. I encourage you to check out the course page to see if this offering resonates with you.

14 Oct 2024176. Marisa Michelson: Expressing Aliveness Through Voice01:33:20

How do we express aliveness and honesty through our voices? How do our relationships with moving, interruptions, and presence help in the journey of finding authenticity through the sounds our voices make?

I feel blessed to record this conversation with Marisa Michelson. Marisa has been building a body of work that examines singing through the multidimensionality of the human being / becoming. When I first found Marisa's work, I was stunned that someone has not only asked the questions I grapple with at various points in my journey, but has sincerely explored them with the devotion, love, and skill they deserve. 

In this conversation, we discussed Marisa's process with composing music, teaching, and exploring the voice in service of freer singing, healing, self-growth, sexuality, and spiritual inquiry. We explored non-verbal expressions, feeling saturated with life, the connections between limitation and liberation, and the practice of presence.

To connect with Marisa:

Here's Marisa's bio: 

Marisa is a multiple award-winning composer of music-theatre, musicals, oratorio and choral works, and was the founding director of the psychedelic vocal performance ensemble Constellation Chor | an immersion in voice, movement, and spirit which performed throughout New York City and international for seven years, debuting a new music composition with the NY Philharmonic at Lincoln Center in 2018. Her musicals have been produced off-Broadway, her oratorio was performed many times in NYC and in Salt Lake City, and you may hear some of her music wherever music streams. 

Marisa has been obsessed with all the magic that is the singing, voice-giving, expressive human for over two decades, exploring the uniqueness of solo, ensemble and multiply interweaving voices as a composer, a performer and a sought after somatic singing teacher. Somehow, voice-giving and its relation to the body, spirit and psyche has continued to call her forward - no matter the musical genre, and beyond any binary between performance and healing, composition and improvisation, process and product. 

After almost two decades of devotion to the Libero Canto School of Singing (a primary lineage of hers), she created the School of Vocal De-Armoring, a somatic and holistic approach to working with singing and voice-giving in a way that connects us more intimately with the layered dimensions of Self. Vocal De-Armoring is not focused on particular aesthetic sound outcomes, though aesthetic improvement - which is subjective - is an important byproduct, but, instead, on self-connection and on learning to sing from a place of honesty. At the same time, Vocal De-Armoring practices help a person develop musical and vocal mastery. Vocal De-Armoring is also about de-conditioning, and Human-ing from a place of Truth. 

Marisa lives, works, plays and teaches in Ancram on Mohican land in upstate New York.

20 Feb 202359. The Heart is The True Trickster - Contemplating The Week of 02.20.2300:32:18

Where may we be making life more difficult by hardening our minds? Where may we be forcing the puzzle pieces to fit when perhaps, in fact, there were no puzzles to solve in the first place?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages  will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 02.20.23, I also offer the possibility that that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. 

This week, Venus enters Aries shortly after the New Moon in Aries. Meanwhile, Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus and trines Mars in Gemini.

24 Aug 202230. Ask Jonathan: Astrological Practices & Rituals, My Journey with Pluto01:01:22

How can we expand our ideas of practices and rituals through deeper engagement with astrology? What is Pluto and what's my relationship with Pluto transiting through my 5th house?

I'm trying something new! Episodes 26-31 will be me answering some of the most juicy questions I received from my Instagram community. I had so much fun answering these questions, and I hope you'll find something useful from my answers, too. 

(PS - In the intro to the episode, I mentioned the wrong sequence of the episodes. Oops! Episode 26 will actually cover Lion's Gate, Housing Contract, and Chiron in Cancer. Meanwhile, Episode 31 covers questions on working with naysayers of astrology and the contradiction of astrology.)

In this episode, I answered the following questions: 

  • [08:13] "What are your daily / weekly astrology practices and rituals?"
  • [29:50] "Can you share reflections and lessons from Pluto transiting your 5th house?"

Resources I mentioned: 

Feel free to jump around within & between episodes to listen to the answers to the questions you're interested in! Use the timestamps to help you out :)

How do we navigate the shift from the realm of fire into earth? What already went up in flames and what is here for us to work with? What practices can we engage to complete the cycle of activation? 

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 04.24.23, I also offer the possibility that that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. 

This week, the Sun conjoins the North Node and makes a sextile to Saturn in Pisces. Meanwhile Mars in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus.

I also mentioned the work of Natasha Levinger, who was a guest on Episode 70 - Healing Your Inner Child and Episode 6 - Empowering Ourselves Through Energy Healing. Natasha's new book Healing Your Inner Child: Re-Parenting Yourself for a More Secure & Loving Life is a highly recommended resource for this week.

I pulled two cards for the week: The Magician from the White Sage Tarot by Theresa Hutch & The King from Kim Krans’s Wild Unknown Archetypes deck. You can see the photo here.

17 Jul 202385. The Gifts of Tension: Contemplating The Week of 07.17.2300:55:04

Where can our personal desires naturally and spontaneously be met with receptivity and grace by the social ecosystems of our lives? Where is more work needed to prime these ecosystems for deeper receptivity? Where will we be met with resistance and where might we perceive or receive others’ disdain? What's our relationship with that external and internal tension?

24 Oct 2023106. Pilar Lesko: Money Medicine01:15:14

What is the medicine of money? How can we engage with all the stories, sensations, and emotions that money bring up? How might we relate to money from a place of authenticity, rather than avoiding through transcendence or contracting into resistance?

My guest Pilar Lesko is a wise, skilled practitioner whose teachings on money have felt regenerative and grounding to my system. Pilar approaches money work with the reverence, nuance, maturity, and skill that it deserves, yet so rarely receives - which, to me, makes her work a rare gem.

In this conversation, Pilar and I discussed some narratives around money, namely that: 

  • Money is antithetical to nature
  • Money is the root of all evil
  • Money is just a loving neutral energy
  • The Universe is abundant and so are you
  • Scarcity prevents you from being rich

Surely, we've encountered one of these money teachings, if not all of them. 

What might we learn by engaging with these stories from a subtle energy perspective? 

Pilar's bio:

Pilar is an energy worker, practitioner, and mystic with 15+ years of training, practice, and lived experience in the healing and transformational arts, energy work, psychic-development and Earth-based wisdom.

22 Feb 20228. The Fool in The Underworld with Mariola Rosario01:32:37

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my friend, Mariola Rosario. Mariola and I both identify as seekers on our paths, and in this conversation, we explored the archetype of the underworld with beginners’ mind through the lens of The Fool, the questioner. We discussed what the underworld is, how depictions of the underworld are dictate by the empire’s relationship to death, how Mariola’s experience growing up in Puerto Rico influence her view of the underworld, and some tips on how to navigate our own underworld experiences. We also discussed the question of “What if astrology is more than just a language?”

Here's Mariola's bio: 

Mariola Rosario (she/her) is a witch, astrologer, teacher, artist and independent researcher from Borikén, the land known as Puerto Rico. She is currently living and experiencing our global collapse from the shores of Paris, France. Mariola loves collaborating with artists, intuitives, freaks, ghouls, old, new & curious souls, students, teachers, organizers, activists, ancestors, flowers, plants, animals, candles, tarot, planets and beyond. She has always found herself somewhere between the teacher-student axis and would like to continue to find alternative and more compassionate routes towards inclusive pedagogy and revolutionary, anti-extractive modes of learning and co-creating spaces of magical and material mutual aid.   

Mariola’s books are open for one-on-one astrology consultations in English and Spanish. 

Connect with Mariola on through her website mariolarosario.com and her Instagram @mariola_rosario. 

Some resources mentioned in this episode are: Antonio Machado's Caminante, no hay camino and Alice Sparkly Kat's Postcolonial Astrology. Also, Britten LaRue's offering The Magician's Table - where Mariola will be one of the 13th readers this coming Spring 2022.

09 Oct 2023101. Honesty is a Creative Act: Contemplating The Week of 10.09.2300:31:54

How might honesty with ourselves and others become creative acts? What might Venus in Virgo teach us about true, rooted connections? How do your boundaries show you what you are devoted to?

03 Nov 202234. Martha Alter Hines: Remembering Your Divine Self Through Astrology01:30:40

How do we work with astrology as a portal to deeper connections with the spirit world? How can we cultivate more easeful trust with our intuition and with our natural gifts? What role can expanding our framework for contemplations around gender and sexuality play in connecting us with our authentic selves? 

I feel honored to share this profound, grounded conversation with my friend, Martha Alter Hines.

Recorded in late July 2022, I was deeply moved when I re-listened to this conversation this week because so much of what Martha shared here became seeds that have grown into gorgeous seedlings in my own path. It’s a conversation that’s taught me and helped me clarify my own path as an astrologer. I hope that you’ll allow it to also deepen your connection to yourself.

We discussed how Martha’s astrological practice serves as a mirror to her connection to the spirit world and how to work with fears of the unknown through the lens of astrological transits. We also discussed her life journey as a clinical social worker who felt called to work with the spirit world and to be a channel for divine wisdom. 

We also discussed how devoting ourselves to investigating, expanding, and engaging with concepts and constructs around gender and sexuality can help us deepen into our authentic selves.

Earlier in 2022, Martha organized an incredible free symposium, Re-Becoming The One, to promote the healing of gender, sexuality, and our relationship to Love and Life itself. Martha graciously invited me to be a part of this symposium and you can listen to our conversation on Mercury and the Non-binary experience here.

Here’s Martha’s bio: 

First and foremost, I am a mom of two amazing kids, ages ten and fifteen. We live in BEAUTIFUL coastal California and feel so lucky to be here.

I come from a big, international family.  I was born in Bangkok, Thailand, and grew up in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kenya, and northern Virginia.  I received my Masters in Social Work from Smith College in Massachusetts in 2001.  I then worked as a clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and body worker for most of the past twenty years. I specialized in prevention, treatment, and investigation of child abuse, attachment, and trauma.

In 2018, the spirit world made it very clear that it was time for me to move on from that very important work to the calling of my soul – assisting people to navigate the beautiful and often challenging experience of awakening to their ultimate, cosmic selves and souls.

For many years, since I was 21 years old, I have had an ability to see many things beyond the physical world – spirits of all kinds, past lives, the structure of people’s bodies and cells, and so on.

In the work I do now, I bridge both the Earthly world and that of the spiritual and cosmic worlds to support us in coming into our personal and collective relationship with the spirit world and our own ways of living as conscious beings of both the Earth and the divine.

I feel strongly that the world needs our wisdom, not only of our minds, but of our whole beings - our minds, hearts, bodies, spirits, and selves as beings of the Earth, cosmos, and infinity.

I love this work that I do now and am honored and full of joy holding space for others to recognize their own beautiful, literally divine selves and to live the full life they are here to live.

You can find Martha’s offerings on her website. She’s available for 1:1 sessions and has a beautiful membership community which hosts monthly gatherings.

We also mentioned Joe G’s talk on the non-binary experience.

26 Jun 202382. Observing The Patterns of Our Primordial Waters: Contemplating The Week of 06.26.2300:43:18

In deep observation, what patterns emerge in my internal or external emotional reality? How do these patterns impact how I see myself, others, and my relationships with them? What resources do I need so I can validate my own experience while also keeping open the possibilities that others’ ways of being are also valid and that they may not harm me, even if at the moment there’s a certain level of discomfort?

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 06.26.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future.

18 Dec 2023115. Your Life is Your Offering: Contemplating The Week of 12.18.2300:29:52

How might we answer the invitation to deeply align our lives and our paths to what we're devoted to? How do we tend to underlying beliefs beneath our actions, especially when we sense they're in conflict with our values?

In this offering, I share my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. With the invitation of astrology as the portal and with the guidance from my sacred ancestors, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 12.18.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future.

13 Jan 202350. Diana Rose Harper: Contemplating The Astrology of 202301:44:34

What questions are most relevant to us in 2023, given its astrology? How do we come into right relationship with astrological insights about the future? What do we need to consider when crafting intentions and resolutions for the coming year?

I'm giddy with excitement to share this conversation with my mentor Diana Rose Harper. Diana's approach to astrology is poetic and expansive, while also visceral and thought-provoking. It feels like a true gift to share our conversation about the major astrological transits of 2023 (spoiler alert: there are quite a few!).

We discussed the topics of how to approach astrological transits as well as New Year resolutions and intentions, what health entails, and honoring our humanity, while also understanding our place in the greater web of life.

We also explored the astrology of 2023 by way of its seismic signatures: Mars and Mercury retrogrades at the start of the year, Saturn in Pisces and Pluto in Aquarius, the nodes shifting into Aries-Libra axis, Mercury retrogrades in earth signs, and Venus retrograde in Leo. 

Trigger warning: We discussed food, diet culture, and school trauma as pertains to feelings of not-enoughness. We also used tons of strong language here.

Here’s Diana’s bio:

Diana is an astrologer, tarot reader, energy worker, writer, and educator, with a history of being a bodyworker & rare books research assistant. Diana Rose has written quite a bit for HausWitch’s community page, served as one half of the Rosebud Tarot, contributed an article on the ethics of astrological prediction to WIRED, and has been featured in many podcasts from The Astrology Podcast to Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness. Three times, she’s been a lecturer at NORWAC.

You can connect with Diana through her website, Patreon, IG, Twitter

Enrollment is currently open until March 8th for Diana's offering on Saturn, Our Lady of Time.

11 Nov 202236. Rebecca Lopez Mullins: The Edges of Grief & Creativity01:31:50

How do we show up in our full, authentic humanity at the portal of grief? How can we allow the grief of loss to co-exist with the pleasure of companionship? How does grief show up to teach us about our innate creativity? 

Right after recording this conversation with my dear friend and incredible artist-healer Rebecca Lopez Mullins, I knew that we were supposed to share it during Scorpio season.

Centered around the grief of suddenly losing her mother earlier this year, Rebecca and I weaved a conversation that explored the expansion and deepening of her relationships with her own gifts, her husband, her son, her sisters, and her community.

We also spoke about how Rebecca’s artistic practice became her spiritual practice, how tapping into the artist within and the larger ecosystem of relationality helped her channel her Altar Companions collection, and how her work connected her to ancestral wisdom.

I feel so honored to share this conversation. Rebecca has shown up as a teacher, a conduit for the wisdom medicine of grief and creativity for me at a time when I needed it deeply. Rebecca’s willingness to show up so fully to this conversation is such a gift. I invite you to show up with an open heart to this profound conversation.

Here’s Rebecca’s bio: 

Rebecca is a Multicultural & Multidimensional Creatress of small batch jewels, divination tools and art to activate, align and reconnect folks to their radiance. It is her belief that the pieces people choose to adorn themselves in and invite into their homes and sacred spaces reflect each individual’s kaleidoscopic inner landscape. She aspires to cultivate a timeless & powerful connection between people and her work; one that compels them to live a Soul-rich, deeply connected, rooted and meaningful life. 

Her body of work is a prayer infused with the highest good for those who welcome her pieces into their orbit. Her wish is for people to be emboldened to show up in their full expression. Rebecca’s creative process is ignited and guided by ancestral (human/non-human) wisdom, the natural, elemental & cosmic realms, textures, unique materials & colorways. Each piece is handmade and sculpted with heart + conscience in her home studio on unceded Anishinabewaki land in so-called Grand Rapids, Michigan.

You can find out more about Rebecca's incredible work through her website and also follow her work on Instagram.

04 Jun 202377. Jupiter in Taurus: The Body as The Wisdom Keeper with Verena Borell01:29:28

What awareness, embodiment, and integration can Jupiter in Taurus initiate us into? How do we appreciate our bodies as our homes? How do we re-member that we are not only earth's children, but that we are, in fact, earth itself? 

Join me for a deep dive on the archetype of Jupiter in Taurus with my friend, Verena Borell, whose astrological insights always inspire, deepen, and electrify me.  In this conversation, we discussed the virtues that Jupiter in Taurus invite us to cultivate, the idea of productivity and the myth of laziness, as well as deep rest as a portal to cultivating patience and presence.

Here's Verena's bio:

Verena Borell lives and works as an evolutionary astrologer and channel in Villach, Austria. To expand and deepen the wisdom school of evolutionary astrology by J.W. Green, Verena enriches it with other astrological branches, her own spirit guides and the akashic records.For Verena, evolutionary astrology and the akashic records are divine tools for de-conditioning, healing, re-wilding, and raising consciousness. Verena’s calling is to guide other soul’s on their healing and awakening journey so that they can let go of limiting chains and follow their true soul’s nature.

19 Mar 2025199. Rebecca Padgett: The Hermit Card - The Mystic is an Artist00:57:50

How do we honor The Hermit card as our anchor for 2025?

How do we ground through devotion and reverence for our practices?

How do we simplify to the essence of our path?

Rebecca Padgett was the first person that came to mind when I dreamed of recording a conversation on The Hermit card. Rebecca's work and presence as an artist and a diviner embody The Hermit at its core: wise, gentle, and powerful.

In this conversation, we discussed the devotional aspect of the craft, how to zoom into the essence of our practices, and what it means to listen to our own inner guidance from a place of trust and reverence. 

It's a deep, meditative conversation that we recorded quite early in the day about a month ago, and I'm excited for you to soak in its wisdom.

Rebecca Padgett is a visual artist living in rural Ontario, Canada. She uses a range of tools, from astrology, tarot, and reiki, to psychism and mediumship, working with her spirit guides and her intuition in her work. In the past she has mostly worked with found objects, collage and abstract expressionist painting. After taking a seven year break to study spiritual and esoteric practices she is now returning to the area where intuition and creativity meet, exploring high frequencies of love from the world of spirit and ancestors, and after entering motherhood has a newfound focus on themes of life and death.

Rebecca is also practised in the reading space and enjoys helping to guide people in developing their own intuitive and psychic abilities, whether it be artists wanting to bring in the awareness of spirit through their work and practices, moms wanting to connect more deeply to their life and spirit world, or anyone who may be interested in connecting to the unseen world and developing their gifts. She has offered hundreds of readings to support clients on their path through life’s changes and challenges. If you would like to connect with Rebecca through the reading and development space please email her to get on her wait list rebeccapadgett.oracle@gmail.com.
