    How does astrology help us inhabit and experience our aliveness more deeply?How might embodiment practices help us awaken to our intuitive nature?In this enlightening conversation, astrologer Sabrina Monarch and I discussed the integration of astrological practice and embodiment work.On the surface, it's easy to misunderstand astrology as a strictly intellectual, imaginal, and abstract practice. This was certainly my perception at the start of my journey. Years into learning and practicing alongside Sabrina, I've found the opposite to be true.Earlier this year, I received a life-changing EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) session with Sabrina. I invited her to the podcast for a deeper dive into her profound experiences with EFT and how it has helped her reconnect with her emotional and artistic self. We delved into the nuances of aliveness, distinguishing it from mere regulation, and explore how astrology can be more than just a spiritual guide but a path to deeper embodiment.We also discussed the influence of Pluto on personal transformation, the challenges of managing primal energies like rage, and working with resistance and trauma as diviners. Connect with Sabrina:WebsiteMailing ListPodcast: The Magic of The SpheresYouTubeEvolutionary Astrology Intensive Book my new 1:1 offering, Creative Spirit Reading.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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:Marisa's websiteListen to Marisa's music Sappho Fragments and Tamar of The River.Vocal De-Armoring Community Weekend on Oct. 25-27th, 2024 in Ancram, NYThe Vocal De-Armoring Channel on Mighty NetworksJoin Marisa's newsletter at the bottom of this page to hear more about her upcoming workshop on Primal ScreamingHere'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.

    What is a cosmology? How do we cultivate relationships with the cultures we exist within grounded in awareness? How do we honor, respect, and love those who hold different values and ideas about reality?What a joy to have Xenia Viray back on the podcast. Xenia is someone I deeply admire for her ability to weave seemingly disparate concepts into nourishing fertilizer for the imagination. In this conversation, we discussed Xenia's upcoming offering Create Your Cosmology through the lens of the 'cult' in culture, Human Design circuits, the experience of being misunderstood as we claim our roles as visionaries, and co-existing with those who hold differing, even discordant, cosmologies to our own. I also invite you to check out Create Your Cosmology, Xenia's 9-week hybrid experience for original creatives, nuanced thinkers, and sensitive Imagineers who want to be the creative director of their belief systems and express their truth with confidence and compassion. It begins on September 24, 2024.I'll be sharing a workshop in Create Your Cosmology called "The Art of Cosmic Conversations" centered around creating a practice of conversing with planets that honor sovereignty, interdependence, and our inherent kinship with the cosmos. Here's Xenia's bio:Xenia Marie Ross Viray (she/they) is an imagination healer, frequency artist, and creativity catalyst with a focus on experiential learning containers and writing. She is the eldest of three sisters, and her name means kindness to strangers. Born as a brick-and-mortar fashion business, Myths of Creation (the name of Xenia's collective body of work) is a container for experiments, art, writing, and gatherings at the intersection of creativity, spirituality, and meaning-making. Xenia's work reconnects communities, ideas, and art forms that are traditionally siloed to enrich the pool of imaginal possibility. Her offerings are designed to help spirited innovators anchor their natural genius into form and include Imaginal Temple, a creative mystical mentorship, the Garden of the Imaginal Substack, and an evolving cornucopia of courses, workshops, and 1:1 sessions which you can find at MythsofCreation.com and @mythsofcreation on IG.I also invite you to check out my new offering, Shapeshifting Academy, which offers a deep dive into the magic of mutable signs for recovering flow, flexibility, and adaptability in moments when we feel stuck in life.

    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.  If you enjoyed this podcast, consider booking a reading with me.

    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!

    How might thinking open a portal to embodied transcendence? What role do the right questions at the right time play in walking an open-hearted path?Thinking is often bedeviled in 'spiritual' spaces. Thinking has been marketed as the enemy of the heart-centered, spirit-led life. Thinking has been defined as the opposite of embodiment. Thinking has been dubbed the root of all sufferings. But does thinking not also happen in the body? Why does Life gift us minds alongside bodies and hearts, if we were asked to shut it down to reach spiritual mastery?I explore these spiky questions from the lens of the Mercury Retrograde in Virgo and the Mercury Cazimi in Leo.I also mentioned some of my teachers, Diana Rose Harper and Deborah Kremins, as well as a container I'm currently facilitating, Deep Spirit Medicine.Photo by Maksym Kaharlytskyi via Unsplash.

    165. The Life-Changing Magic of Authentic Planning: How To Prioritize Your Heart in Streamlining Your Process

    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.  If you enjoyed this podcast, consider booking a reading with me.

How might deepening our elemental connections assist us in times of uncertainty?In the past few months, I have been collaborating with Marika Clymer and Carolyn Egan on a zine project, lovingly named Bodies of Land. This issue is an ode to the energetics of Summer 2024 seen through the lens of the body, plants, and planets, and it's incredibly gorgeous. It's available for digital download here.In this episode, I invited Marika and Carolyn to explore he themes that run through the zine, including the land as a body, the human body as an extension of the land itself, and how astrology can bring us closer to our inherent connection and belonging with the rest of creation.We also discussed how knowledge can become pathways to deepen connections rather than barriers to deny connections with life, being with uncertainty, and the energetics of fire.We also explored the behind the scenes process of creating the zine, including how the three of us ended up collaborating on this zine, and how the summer has immersed us in experiences that deepened our embodiment of the themes of the zine. Carolyn and Marika have taught me so much through the generous sharing of their perspectives and their presence in the process of creating this zine.If you resonate with our discussions, we invite you to check out the zine here.Links: Marika's shop, where you can get super cool merchandisesCarolyn's shop, where you can get potent herbal medicines and guides If you enjoyed this podcast, consider booking a reading with me.

    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.Links to connect with Sabrina:Sabrina 2024-2025 Kickstarter CampaignSabrina's websiteSabrina's podcast, Magic of The Spheres, and her YouTube channelSabrina's Instagram If you enjoyed this podcast, consider booking a reading with me.

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.

    How might we approach friendship, art, and spirituality as creative experiments? How do we practice presence in grief? How might we increase our capacity to change our minds and shift our practices?Halfway through this conversation, Mary Schuch casually said something that stopped my heart in its track, "Just because it's not fun, doesn't mean it's not a gift." That's something I've always admired about artist, creative, and astrologer Mary Schuch – her ability to hold wisdom with humor and to serve truth with irreverence.Mary and I recorded this conversation at the tail end of Jupiter in Taurus, a period marked by changes and reminders of life's transient nature. We discussed the current states of our relationships with art, how friendship is a practice, and balancing the intensity of life with slowness.If you can't get enough of our vibe, I recommend that you listen to our podcast "My Life Is Better With You In It"Mary's bio:Mary Schuch (she/her) is committed to showing up for the experience of belonging in a human body. In this lifetime, Mary is steadily walking a resonant path and striving to remember the inherent relationality of all beings. 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 through meditative multidisciplinary living. She is devoted to practices incorporating writing, music, art, breadmaking, astrology, movement, and being outdoors. A beneficial byproduct of years of manual labor, Mary's reverence for contemplative time has grown through work in gardens, kitchens, on a commercial lobster boat, and 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.Resources mentioned:Mary and Jonathan's podcast, My Life Is Better With You In ItOur conversation with Leah Garza and Dana BalickiThe War of Art by Steven PressfieldAmanda Yates Garcia and Beth Pickens "The World Needs Your Art"Our first conversation on Healing The Spirit, "Why Are We Obsessed with Cults?"
