(00:00):
On the previous episode of Nasha Mind. Do you have any ways of release,
signal, mastivation and you take accountabilityfor who you are? Would anyone
consider your devotion possible love bombing?So how is your mental health? How
is my mental health? That's questionable. I'm exhausted, yeah, I know

(00:24):
that much. But I feel veryI feel very solid in the extreme amounts
of uncertainty that I am feeling atthe same time. So it's kind of
like a paradox. Yeah, andI'm trying to find my footing, but
I feel hopeful. So my mentalhealth is being challenged and I feel confident

(00:45):
that I know how to maneuver throughthis. You know. I call that
religion when you have when you're undera challenge, but have faith in the
future. Faith is very okay.Faith isn't new to me. I was
raised Catholic, but it's new tome in the sense of like embodying it,
yeah, and not just being toldto believe in something. Yes,
and that takes time for me.Yeah, but that and that's my view

(01:11):
on spirituality, right because I've viewedspirituality spirituality and religion is like a parallel
like road. But the only differenceis I feel like spirituality is the strength
and power within yourself, and likereligion is finding the strength outward. Yes,
that makes sense. So that's why, like the sovereignty and spirituality is
so important when you're looking for thestrength or the answer is to look for

(01:34):
yourself first, do the work foryourself first. I feel like that makes
sense. Yeah. Absolutely. How'syour mental health day? Well, my
mental health feels like the best it'sbeen in a long time. Nice.
I just had a very radiant smilegoing on over there. I feel good.
I just had a big purge becauseI was talking to you guys before
we started the podcast. I'm movingback to Michigan for a few months so

(01:57):
that I can go to Peru actuallyto become an ayahuasca shaman. Yeah.
So I've sold all of my things. Everything's in suitcases. My dad's flying
to La tomorrow. We're going todrive down to Michigan together, and then
I'm flying to Peru in July andI'll be there for two months. I'm
happy for this journey. I knowI might come out and see you,

(02:20):
Danny. Help well. I'll beable to officially start serving ayahuasca as early
as September, so you know,and they're going to be decriminalizing psychedelics such
as ayahuasca and mushrooms in August.Wow, the state of California. So
are you going to Peru to becomeyou mentioned to get the blessing from the

(02:42):
shaman and then they plan to comeback and facilitate here. Yes, okay,
California. Like my sisters both liveout here, this is where it's
going to be decriminalized. I've beenhere for eight years. My mental health
is good because I'm doing my mostauthentic self. Yeah, you know so,
But before this was not good.I had a really serious breakup which
led to the whole you know,this whole energy coming up. And yeah,

(03:05):
I got here because I was likeboiled and then distilled. I feel
like I'm in the boiling part.Yeah. Well as capricorn placements with that
pluto, I can't handle it.We'll talk about it. I am happy
that you're doing this because this isthe first time anybody has ever mentioned ayahuasca
and I've said, oh, youknow what, I think I'm going to

(03:27):
do it this time because I'm veryI moved by how my body feels,
so whenever somebody tells me something,I can sit there and be like okay,
or I can sit there and belike, you know what, I
feel the energy right here, rightnow. I've done thirty one ceremonies.
Why I'm training, I've been trainingthe last three years, thirty one over
the course of how long three years? I feel like that's very intense.

(03:53):
Well, my mid heaven is Scorpionon my birth chart, and I've got
Pluto can junk the mid heaven.So ayahuasca is a square rpo archetype.
So the way that I understand thatis professionally, what I'm doing with my
life is helping people eliminate their trauma, deal with the mess that their parents
and their ancestors left for them,getting into their psychology, healing things like

(04:13):
sexual salt, physical abuse, childhoodtrauma. You said that you do some
of the same stuff, and yeah, we're very kindred, we're aligned and
your north notes Pisces, which ismy son moon Mercury. Right, so
we've got we're gonna talk. Yeah, we got stuff. We're best friends.
Listen. I scoured all through LAand found the two nerdiest Fine.

(04:40):
It literally took like two seconds forus to be like, Okay, so
what is your that's literally every conversationI have, like, and I'm sure
it comes off really obnoxious sometimes orvery like la because that's but to me,
it's just it's so exciting and it'sfascinating. And I think there is
a misconception at astrology is like tryingto box people in, but really it's

(05:02):
like, I'm just right, andI'm trying to better understand you in ways
that maybe you don't even understand yourself. Yeah, And to be honest,
you, this is not if wereally think about it, this is not
a far fetched conversation between you twowith meeting each other as in your sign,
because people do do it all thetime, the more like yeah,
right, they just do it ona more basic level when they're just asking

(05:25):
your she's like, what's your arrowsplacement? Right? But but when you
guys did it because you have theunderstanding of astrology to do it in the
depths that you did, you hada way faster understanding of each other.
Yeah, I know exactly what she'sworking with, right, And not in
a way to like just scredit wantingto know you better, You want to

(05:46):
know you more, right, becauseI'm like, wow, there are a
lot of things that I think wecan understand about each other because of the
experiences and upbringing we might have had, or the repeated themes that we might
experience. Yeah. So yeah,if anything, it just makes me like
gravitate towards people more because I'm justlike, wow, what is that story?
You know? Yeah, And frommy point of view, um hearing

(06:08):
y'all speak like that, it's excitingfor me to like not understand what you
know so that I can can learnan even more now because it's like,
oh, you understand, you justdon't remember. Yeah. Well, my
mental health is pretty good, thankyou guys for asking. But more specifically,

(06:30):
my my body feels better than Ido. Yeah, so I more
about right yea. So the wayI have categorized me as a person is
like me and my physical realm,me and my spiritual realm, and me
and my mental right. So I'verecently, probably like since this year,

(06:50):
have um realize that there's a livethings within me, right with my cells,
m, bacteria, whatever that's alive, it's with living within me,
and all these things depend on meto do certain things to keep my body
alive so that they can stay aliveas they're working with me. So with
that kind of understanding, then Isaid to myself, when that just means

(07:12):
that I'm a vessel, right andthis physical body is a shared space between
me my spiritual consciousness that allows meto communicate and have personality and whatever is
inside of me that's hoping that Ido what I need to do so this
vessel stays alive, so they canstay alive and they do what they need
to do to keep me alive.Right. So then with that understanding,

(07:33):
I realized that my brain is ina live entity in itself because it gives
all signals chemicals to then what keepme alive. So it's a bunch of
live things just stay alive. Sothere are times when when I started to
have that understanding, I started tohave a better like connection with my body,

(07:53):
my spiritual and my body. Andwhenever I feel good, but me
myself don't really have a reason tolike feel good. I'm just saying it
as my body feels good right now, So I can then separate if I'm
having a good time or if mybody is having a good time. And
then that's how I could say,like, my body is great, but

(08:16):
I mean because I wake up andI was like, you know, I
don't really feel the need to beexcited, but I have this feeling inside
of me of like jitteriness or likehappiness. I'm assuming that my body gave
us some chemicals or some endorphins forit to make me feel good. So
my body feels great, but I'mhaving a pretty regular day. Well,
I feel like a lot of peoplearen't body conscious like that. Yeah,
you know. And then we've gotmind, body, heart, soul,

(08:37):
and spirit. Right, so it'slike you're very tapped into the body part
and the mind part. Yeah,and it's you're able to differentiate. Yeah.
Now the goal, I feel likeit's for us to find like centeredness
in all of them. Right.It all like that's hard, it's it's
it's yes, it's very hard.I always look at it like you're the
CEO, right, And of course, I know, let's talk about work.

(09:07):
I came here to share my thoughtsand I'm getting read whatever works for
me. I always look at itlike I'm the CEO of this experience.
And in my boardroom are my topplayers, and that is my mind,
my heart, and my intuition.And those are the three that I constantly
revert to. For their feedback,not to say that what they have to

(09:31):
share with me is what I'm justgoing to accept, but I want to
hear your perspective on what's going on. And so the body part for me
is also like linked with my intuition. That's been a huge one. If
you've ever even experienced body trauma,you disconnect from your body and you rely
on your mind. Well, theissue with that is my mind's real smart

(09:52):
and really clever, and it canwork against me at the same time and
keep perpetuating the same patterns and thesame stories. Meanwhile, my body is
trying to tell me something else.And so that's been a huge theme for
me personally with my healing and mygrowth, is to rely less on my
mind, which I look at likea computer sometimes this technology right, and

(10:15):
it's like, oh, I needan upgrade, Like I need to reboot,
like I'm running old software and it'sjust not syncing with where I'm moving
towards. But again, that's noteasy and that takes a lot of time.
And I think that's also like inthe time we're in right now,
part of why my mental health isfeeling like what the fuck is I felt

(10:39):
pure alignment like literally this last week, I felt what that looks like?
And what does that look like?It was the most freeing thing I've ever
experienced. It was just like mymindset was different, my like, my
perspective on life was different. Theway I engage, especially in situations that

(11:01):
would normally like bring out my annoyanceand frustration. I was like super cool,
calm and collected, and I waslike, okay, bitch. But
at the same time I experienced thatand then I went back to getting triggered
in my shadow. And I feellike it's just like a last sort of
hopefully last sort of like cleanse ofold programming that's coming up for me to

(11:22):
be like, Okay, I'm stillharboring this and I can't release it without
my acknowledgement. And that's the wholething, is the awareness of it all.
But I think it's really beautiful ofyou, especially as a masculine,
to share your connection with your bodyand how that leads you and how you
allow that to become such a toolfor you because so many of us and

(11:45):
it's celebrated in our society to bein our head, and I think that
body connection is being called to morenow, so that we can really reconnect
with ourselves in a different way.I don't know why it felt needed to
go on that tans that. Thankyou so much, especially since I actually

(12:05):
believe that I have you to thankfor this, because when we did,
you might want to put on theground right the hand is saying stop the
name. I was actually going togo the spice girl round, give it,
come on stop right now. Thankyou very much. I need somebody

(12:26):
with the human Hey, you alwayson the run out? Is that who
thinks to stop in the name ofthe love? I have a right?
Um, I was gonna says.You probably helped out a lot because when
we did the NATO chart reading,I remember one thing that you said was

(12:48):
that, Um, it was notverbatim, but it was basically like,
I need to be more like presentor more in like physical and stuff,
like more of like my mental ormore in my head. So when I'm
at this space where I have thislike strong like mind body connection, whenever
something is off, it's easier forme to realize it. Where if I

(13:11):
didn't have this connection with my body, maybe I would have been like continuing
in the same cycle. I'm noticingit. So when I was focused on
that because it is true, likeI have like multiple personalities in my head
right and where we counsel each otherin order to each other exactly. So,
um, when we're counseling each other, I can stay stuck there within

(13:35):
the council and sometimes you need tolike get out the meeting, go outside
and like be with yourself. Sowhen I had this moment of realizing,
because you said it, that I'mreally in my head and maybe I need
to get into the practical part oflike whatever my thoughts are, put them
into practice of like having them intheory embodiment. Yes, So like the
next day had realizing that and notlike fixing it, but like starting the

(14:00):
recalibration, like realign things. SoI feel that with all of these things
happening my body and my mind ormy brain, realizing that this calibration is
there gives off this happy feeling andmakes me wake up like you know what,
my body feels happy today? Good. Oh my god, I'm so
happy to hear that. But also, you're an Aquarius, which is ruled

(14:24):
by the third eye chakra, soa lot of Aquarius to suffer from overly
being overly mentally stimulated. They livein their mind. They're highly intalented world.
It's brill it's a brill It's thesmartest sign of the zodiac, the
most brilliant, and oftentimes their solarplexus, which is going to be that
embodiment or the ego, self worth, self love suffers. So Aquarius is

(14:46):
part of the medicine of the sign. Is okay, I love the world
so much. I have so muchappreciation for people of different walks of life,
different perspectives, different mental pursuits.What about feeling yourself. So you're
talking about this idea of your hefeels good, and mentally you're kind of
swimming around it. That's at leastyou're aware. Yeah, you're moving closer

(15:07):
to a higher vibration of aquarium.That's what iberation. My venus resonates with
that. Yeah, and that's whyanytime I'm very cerebral, like I'm super
in my head all the time,and sometimes it's fun to be there because
there's there's hundreds of conversations happening.I'm like, what do you have to
say? Um, Well, that'swhy if you're not in your body,

(15:31):
you're not present. So anytime,like I work on grounding or like getting
in my body. That's when Iknow I'm present and that's when I feel
good because the reality is we're fine, you know, like things are good
right now. It's the fact thatyou're focusing on what has happened or what
might happen, or what's you know, the worry, and that translates into

(15:52):
a bodily response because now you're activatingyour vagus nerve and you're all in fight,
fight, freeze, whatever it is. So it's constantly especially depending on
the trauma you've experienced, and it'slike, that's why for me, somatic
therapy has been really great because talktherapy, I can talk circles and rationalize
around anything but my body. Andthat's where the plant medicine came in for

(16:15):
me. My body needed to releasethe trauma in a way that made sense
for my body. And so forthe last like three years, I was
like that was convulsing on the groundand shakes and heavy yells and cries,
and it was a very somatic experiencefor me to heal that because in my

(16:37):
mind I can create whatever story andmake it believable. Yeah, and you
see, this is what I lovebecause that was one of the things that
I aimed for when I started thispodcast with showing people that there are different
ways of healing and wellness aside fromtalk therapy specifically, and it's crazy that
I did it by making talk therapythe main part. So it's like,

(16:59):
hey, here's the main part,and maybe this is a foundation or a
starting part, but then you haveall these other journeys or avenues you can
go down to gain your healing orwellness. Absolutely, And I also just
want to make a note because Iknow that there's this misconception often with people
who are healers or who hold spaceand you even touched on this a little
bit, like we go through ourown shit, you know. I think

(17:23):
people like believe like, oh,because they can help others, their life
is probably smooth sailing, and it'slike boo boo, Like you couldn't be
far further from the truth, becausenot only is it our own healing,
but in order to really hold spacefor other people and to be able to
guide others through their own journey,you have to let go and heal so

(17:48):
much of your own shit so thatyou don't project that or come into it
in a way that's now not servingthe people you claim to serve, and
so yeah, anytime someone's like you'rekilling you're good, it's fine, And
I'm like, girl, you don'teven you don't even know the things that
happen in order for me to beable to show up for you the way
that I do. Yeah. Soyeah, And we we were talking a

(18:11):
little bit about the different branches ofastrology that we work in. So I'm
what's known as an archetypal astrologer.You said you do shadow of your reading.
So in my business, I workas a spiritual life coach, and
I use reiki, sound healing,breathwork kind of like talk therapy style communication,
and then plant medicine as like allof the tools to help people integrate

(18:34):
their shadows. And that archetypal astrologytakes from Carl Jung, Segment Freud,
Jacques Lakhan, these great psychoanalytical Yeah. So yes, so you're probably archetypal
astrologer as well. But it's usingastrology to get into someone's psychology, yes,
and then help them heal their trauma. Yes. Psychology was my major

(18:56):
initially, and then I switched tobroadcast journalism. And we were talking a
little bit about the trajectories, andthen you know, I ended up here,
And I really feel in my gutthat my intrigue in psychology never wavered
throughout my journey because I had sucha deep, profound yearning to understand people,

(19:18):
and I think that stems from alwaysfeeling misunderstood myself. So it was
like, I really want to understandwho the fuck I am, and I
also want to understand other people becauseyou want to become the person you needed,
And so the psychology was always underneath. But I feel like I was
being guided away from the traditional studyof psychology so that I can create something

(19:40):
that is a little bit unconventional,non traditional for this time that we're in,
which I think collectively a lot ofus are sort of taking all of
our interests, our skills, ourresources and creating something of our own holistic
yeah, in order to help thosethat resonate with that type of approach.
Well, because talk therapy alone isn'tcutting it, you know, Like you

(20:03):
said, I have a few clients. A lot of the people I work
with have really complex trauma. SoI've had like three clients who have lost
a sibling, a few of themto like drug overdose or like parents to
the same thing, or you know, sexual assault, these these more complex
issues. Just talking about these thingsas you know, isn't going to really
get to the point like you needto include maybe somatic therapy, like you're

(20:29):
mentioning reiky sound things to open themind up, to get people in a
vulnerable enough space where they can talkabout these things without shutting down. Yeah.
Yeah, you guys are definitely right, because if we fuck around,
this's gonna be a four hour podcast. It's just forever, literally little expiration
dates. So to make a lastpoint to what you're saying, Yes,

(20:52):
and that's why I say that,you know, talk therapy could be a
foundation, right and it's just themost known because it's it's the acknowledgement of
it first, and I feel liketalking about it using that throat chocolate is
what it helps it bring to life. And then now that we know what
we're fucking with, we can startdoing whatever we can add ayahuaska mushrooms,
we can do yoga like because weknow what we're working with, because we

(21:15):
can all see it because it's beenspoken out loud. That's what talk therapy
does help. And talk therapy doesn'tmean you have to go sit with a
therapist. It's within the therapy realmor the wellness realm that you're actually using
your energy to speak it out intolife. Well, Bruna, correct me
if I'm wrong, but reading abirth chart is kind of like talk therapy,

(21:36):
you know, but it's like guyingabsolutely my opinion. And one of
my nicknames has become the Mother ofTears because it's it's always like people cry
to me constantly, and I lovethat, yah, because I love being
someone that people feel safe enough andask someone who I'm incredibly emotional for a
cat record, like you wouldn't ifyou Yeah, where's your Jupiter Aries?

(22:02):
Oh all right, so there canbe like emotional outburst with that as well,
okay, you know, like superdown, yeah, because it would
be suppressed for so long, andthen when the one thing happens, it
doesn't even have to be a bigthing. It's like, oh bitch,
take cover, you know. Andthere's other placements in my chart that helped

(22:25):
me understand that. And it's sothis is why this shit fascinates me,
because it's like I do reading,like hard readings as well, and everything
I do for others is something I'vealready done for myself and seen the effects
of it. So I use astrologyto better understand myself. I use readings
to better understand myself. And thetrajectory that I've noticed is I attract people

(22:48):
who are going through something I justwent through to help them through that.
Yeah. So I remember I gotmy astrology deck and I was like,
Okay, what am I not seeing, Like, what's my blind spot?
What's my weakness? And my chartthat I'm not paying attention to? And
I got a card that said Tsquared and I was like the fuck.
So I looked it up and thenI looked at my chart deck of cards.

(23:11):
Yeah, the square is a hardaspect and I have it in my
chart. So I looked at itand it was with Pluto Venus and my
moon, oh mommy issues, romanceissues, transformation. There's there's a lot
going on there. Yeah, yesthere is. And when I read,
like read more about it, andI learned more about how these energies affect

(23:33):
each other. It explained so much. And yes, it was uncomfortable to
read because it's like, damn,this is this is something I do.
But it gave me the awareness andwhat I always hope with people who get
readings with me? Is it gaveme comfort? You know? Because I
was like, am I insane?You know, like is there something wrong

(23:53):
with me? And I'm like,no, bitch, it's in your chart.
This is just a difficult as respectbut you're meant to learn and grow
through it. But you can't dothat until you become aware of it,
because otherwise you're just shaming yourself forit. Well, and I tell my
clients all the time, your birthchart is not an excuse for bad behavior.
Absolutely, you're going to run onautopilot until you become aware of this

(24:15):
pattern right right, And doesn't whatyou literally what you just said, isn't
this the same thing that everybody goesthrough. This is literally probably the most
common thing when it comes to likeChamory healing, right, is just saying
it first and then we take thesteps to do whatever we need to do.
It's like calling a demon out byits name. Yeah, has less

(24:36):
power over you, exactly right,or now you have the strength to actually
fight back and stuff like that.So in your aspect or whenever, if
you guys ever do like Nato Schartreadings or whatever you do, saying it
for somebody right is the therapy alsoor being or a therapist. If we're
going to use that word right now, is that's a therapy session because you're
reading off their birth chart, You'resaying these things for them. And then

(25:00):
now since they have this understanding,like speaking it, and now we have
it in front of us. Becausesometimes not everybody has the emotional intelligence or
the language at that to actually explainwhat they're feeling. All they can say
is I feel like fucked up rightnow. They might not have the body
mind connection and all they could sayis like I just don't feel good on

(25:22):
the inside, or they're just notready to receive that information. Yeah,
and and and it could even bereceiving it for themselves, right because saying
to yourself, I'm in a fuckedup position or I'm not not even I'm
not in the best position. It'ssometimes so difficult. And then somebody else
does It's like right because now someoneelse can start. Yeah, they being

(25:44):
called out. Yeah, it's likesomebody drew the starting line for you for
healing. I like that. Yeah, that's beautiful. I like what you
said too. And again, dependingon where you're at, it can either
feel like very jarring and confronting,and you can let the ego come out
and be like no, no,like stop, or you'd be like damn

(26:04):
okay. And that just shows whereyou are in your journey of whether or
not you're willing to take accountability andresponsibility for some of your behaviors that are
not serving you. And that's whywith every reading, like you already experienced
it. I know some of theshit I told you wasn't comfortable to hear,
but it was still like, mymain goal is your growth and your

(26:26):
understanding of yourself. So if Ihave to tell you some shit that's not
easy to hear, I'm going todo my best to say it in a
gentle and kind way and so thatyou know I'm not judging or shaming you
because we all have our shit,but what you do with that information is
completely up to you. Right.I feel it's kind of easier for a
chalogy of people to do that becauselike, no, no, it's not
me's a start, it's the start. Or like if you're doing a tarot

(26:48):
reading, best when you're reading fora friend in the card pops on,
you're like, well, I've beenwaiting to tell them this. Here we
go. The card said, andthen the card said, but that's also
and I'm sure are you into humandesign? You know, I don't know
it too much. I know I'ma manifesting generator. Okay, do you
know anything about human design? Youknow I got out here? Okay,

(27:11):
well you're gonna look it up.But it's another form of like healing,
right, and like better understanding yourhuman design. You know how you operate
best. And for me, I'ma projector. And oh my gosh,
stop it over here. I know. Do you feel left out? You're
in this. We can look itup. But I say all that to
say, one of the best thingsI learned that I was definitely not doing

(27:34):
before I learned this was as aprojector. You have to wait for the
invitation. And for me, forso long, I knew I was able
to see things other people weren't ableto see, whether it was about themselves
or situations. I was hearing things, I was getting guidance, I was
getting the intuitive hits, and Iso badly wanted to just share it with

(27:56):
them because I'm like, no,this is what's wrong, what's good.
But if they're not ready to hearit, that shit wasn't pretty and so
I had to learn to wait forthe invitation and wait for people to come
to me seeking that guidance to knowthat they're ready to receive it, and
shutting my mouth when that doesn't happenbecause They're not going to be able to

(28:17):
receive what I'm getting. And thatwas difficult and also very rewarding in the
sense of knowing that when I amable to share that information, it's being
received in the right way. Wellit makes sense too, because Capricorn is
the sign. It's ruled by thethird eye chakra as well because Saturn rules
Aquarius and Capricorn. So we seea lot of Capricorn people are psychic mediums,

(28:40):
intuitive, spiritual guides, and it'sjust the sign of being able to
perceive what's coming next, so youcan see all people's stuff. Thank you
for saying that, because I feellike a lot of Capricorn placements get flack
for just being like completely detached,unemotional, and I had to look into
it too. Oh yeah, andI'm just like, I mean, that

(29:03):
can be true, you know,in different environments. But also, yeah,
Tyler Henry, this the Hollywood medium, he's a Capricorn. Oh,
I didn't know that, so you'llsee a lot of mediums are capricorns or
cancer. That's like the spectrum oflike medium shit, psychic ability. It's
your moon sign in your chart.Got it too? Makes sense yet of
a lot of stuff, right,Okay, let's start the podcast all right.

(29:42):

might have forgotten some stuff, butI've been studying astrology since i was eleven

(30:02):
years old. I went to filmschool at USC with an emphasis in psychoanalysis,
So got some psychology in me too. And yeah, my Instagram's at
Santo's Crystal Visions. If you wantto learn more, Wow, copy and
paste Bruna. Yes hi, I'mBruna aka Mystic Brew on Instagram and TikTok

(30:26):
Brew b are you you know playon the name a little brew. However,
here for sure, um. Ilove to work with astrology and do
card readings to help clients better understandthemselves, better understand their shadows. I
do a lot of shadow work withclients. I also do a lot of
focus on love and relationships. Ihave two books that I've written on that

(30:48):
topic, Let That Shit Go,A Journey to Forgiveness, Healing and Understanding
Love Baby and the Problem with Dating, which is a compilation of a blog
I ran for ten years on theshit I experience with dating. Listen,
you give me something, I'm goingto monetize it. Okay, that's what
I'm gonna do. Whatever pain Iget, I turn it into purpose.

(31:11):
So yes, alchemist. I callmyself a love alchemist. So um,
yeah, I really you know.My intention with everything I is to help
people remember who they were before theworld taught them who to be. And
I have a company called Return toSelf where I do all of my mystic
practice and work with clients and whatelse. I have a podcast also called

(31:36):
Return to Self. I mean,there's probably so much more, but you
guys can find out if you justlook into my stuff. Find out from
this conversation. Yeah, you know, around and find out. I also
want to plug my podcast I forgotyeah astro Daddy podcasts. I read people's
birth charts on air. Oh mygosh, read mine girl, Come on
the podcast. Yeah, do it? We can talk about all my shit,
yeah, and just let y'all know. As y'all see, I got

(31:59):
the real deal because Danny's been doingthis since he was eleven. So the
streak, yes, I found thatit was natural. Yeah, he thought
it was fake. Ain't nothing aboutme fake perfect streak. But also capricorns
are like the sign of old people, and the wisdom is like it's a
wisdom streak. So yes, it'swisdom for sure, because I'm very wise,

(32:22):
born with wisdom. I was bornold, like literally during a shroom's
trip once I looked in the mirrorand I was just a very old tree
and I was like, Okay,that resonates, you know. Um No,
But what's interesting about my white streakis my dad had it as well.
Um but so now we're getting intolike epigenetics and trauma. But my

(32:45):
father, so I'm Lebanese, Iwas born in Lebanon during the war,
lots of trauma with that, andmy father, when he was a teen
was taken hostage in the middle ofthe night and they pulled him from the
front of his hair. So atheory my late grandmother had was that his
white hair grew because of that traumaticexperience and around the same age he experienced

(33:07):
that. My white hair started togrow in when I was that age,
So I was like, am Icarrying his trauma? Is this magic?
Is this Swiss? Is it?All of it? You know? But
it's definitely I used to die it. No one knew I had it for
a really long time because I wassixteen with white hair, and I was
like fuck no, So it's amazing. Thank you when I started, thank

(33:28):
you so much, thank you.Yeah, it's definitely become a signature thing
for me. But yeah, alot of people think I die it and
I was like, no, no, it's literally like perfect. Um,
let's let's give a chance. Uh, do you have a chance for us?
Danny, I have like a littlemantra, Yeah, mantra chance,

(33:51):
whatever says an intention to the episode. Um, all right, so there's
a mantra we say in breathwork.That's just you can try to follow on.
I'll say it once, but it'sa good Daynam Is that hard to
follow? Yes, but we're gonnafollow. We're gonna do it. We'll

(34:13):
say it together. Ready three toone? Oh. I think I used
to do that in my Kundalini class. I was about to say something.

(34:36):
Okay, I was like, wait, I know this. You start saying
it, your body's like oh yeahyeah, and I need to go back
to that class. So I didan episode, um, which if you're
listening to this, it was episodelast month with this podcast that I'm also
producing and it's coming out soon calledSovereign You Right. It's a it's the
Spiritual University of Yourself, right,beautiful, great fucking name. So,

(34:58):
um, they came on for anepisode and we did a chant and the
chant's own right. So within thatspace and me doing that chant and feeling
the vibrations, I was like,you know, I feel like like a
release, like a like a kindof release. And as it was explained

(35:20):
to me was these are cosmic soundsand this is like where cosmic beings.
That's something that brings us back tolike a start back in. Yeah.
Right, so, which is greatbecause now I have the two astrology books
here. Yeah. No, chantingis especially if you're in community and it's
like you feel the vibration of everyone. Doing chanting has really helped me unblock

(35:42):
my throat chakra because I used tobe really scared of speaking. Yeah,
and I got the guidance years ago. They're like, you need to fix
that shit because your voice needs tobe heard, and I was like yeah,
So then I was doing whatever possible. And chanting is very uncomfortable if
you're not used to it, toeven even by yourself to just say these
sounds. But when you start feelingit and when you're in community, it's

(36:06):
very freeing, like there's a powerfulsynergy that happens with that. And so
I really recommend it to anyone who'scurious. It unlocks something, yeah,
you feel it doesn't, and evenif it doesn't unlock what, it clears
blockage for sure. So um,I brought you um both here today because

(36:27):
I definitely want to talk about astrologyand the age of Aquarius and stuff like
that, but um, your age. And it's crazy because I've been thinking
about this episode when I started thispodcast, especially since I met Danny like
months ago when I first came toLA and telling me all these things about
Aquarius and stuff like that, andI was like, I'm gonna talk to
this guy one of these days.Yeah the first place, right, um,

(36:55):
But for someone to ask what isastrology? Right, and I'm as
the simplest way possible, because whatis astrology? Because I only know astrology
from the misconception point of view.It's like, oh, you're an aquarious
then you don't really give a fuckabout people. And it's like, I
know that's that's the basic form,and then there's more, so much more

(37:16):
to it. So if y'all canplease explain to me and whoever doesn't know
like the point of astrology, surewell, I guess astrology from my understanding,
it began in the Babylonian times,so it's an ancient practice. It's
been seen in different time periods aswell, India and Greece and lots of

(37:37):
different periods in the world. Andit's just the study of watching the planets
and how they affect the Earth andthe people on the planet, as well
as like world events, natural disasters, eclipse is happening that caused major life
changes. It's studying the cycles ofthe moon, the stars, and the
planets as it pertains to the humanpsyche. Yes, the most concise way

(38:01):
I could say, yeah, Ione thousand percent agree. My only addition
is, and we talked about thisa little bit earlier, but I don't
see astrology as a belief system whichI think a lot of people assume and
use that. You know, Idon't believe in astrology. Astrology is fake,
And I'm like, okay, youknow, if that's how you feel,

(38:22):
sorry, go for it. Mypersonal relationship with astrology is that it's
a sacred language that I am learninghow to understand and speak. And so
if you take Spanish, you know, you don't hear someone say I don't
believe in Spanish. No, youdon't understand Spanish, so it sounds like

(38:45):
gibberish to you. But if youwere to take the time to study and
understand the language, you may findsomething there that resonates with you. And
so for me, this is thelanguage of the cosmos. It's understanding how
to interpret the guidance and the messagesthat you're getting from the universe and remembering

(39:07):
that we're made of the same stuff. So if I'm able to interpret the
placements and the transits of the cosmoswhen the time I was born and then
throughout my lifetime, it's giving methe cheat codes to better understand how I'm
being affected by what's going on.So that's how I use it. You

(39:27):
know, it's a language that I'mlearning it's a very ancient and deep language
that I may not be able tofully encompass in this lifetime, but I
know that it's not my first lifetimetrying to learn this, and so I'm
remembering what I've always known and addingto that and using it to help other
people who are interested, and totake it a step further. A friend
of mine, she's a virgo,so she thinks about these things in this

(39:51):
very realistic way. She said,Well, astrology is just kind of like
checking the weather forecast. It's likethe forecast of the cosmos. We can
use it in a mundane level tounderstand what's the weather outside, Like today
the moon is in. I thinktoday it's a full moon. Yeah,
to like bring an umbrella or theequivalent of what that would be. Right,
That that is perfect, because that'sexactly similar to what I was about

(40:14):
to say on a much more basiclevel. But I was going to say,
I use astrology as a decision makingtool, and like the weather,
right, so it's like, okay, where are we right now in space?
Right? Okay, I need tomake a decision on work this way.
I need to make a decision onlove this way. I need to
make a decision on my personal lifethis way. And so that's how I've

(40:36):
personally used astrology. So when peoplewhen I do see people saying using it
in the sense of like a personalitytrait, it's like, this is not
going to go anywhere. Guys,like you know, some of the wealthiest,
most successful people who may not openlysay this, do that. You
know, they consult with their astrologer. They look at the transits, they
see what's going on, and thatdecides their launch dates, the moves they

(40:58):
make in their business stocks. Yeah, literally, like the big, big,
big picture things. Yeah. Yeah. And so when I'm saying that
I've used um astrology like a spiritualtool, like a would sage, right,
and so I like that. Yeah, so I know the ceremony or
the use of sage is burning itbut also opened up a window so spurits

(41:21):
can like move out. So tomy understanding, is um aromatherapy, right,
So me smelling sage, it putsme in a more peaceful mind stage.
So whatever bad or uncomfortable thoughts onme having it feels like they're no
longer there. And that's my wayof like spiritual release someone. Now when
it comes to astrology or NATO chartreading or things like that. Knowing these

(41:44):
things, it's like it's like yousaid, knowing the weather, but it's
like knowing the weather for like months. Yeah. Yeah, you just had
Mars transitting Gemini for the last sevenmonths and it was like the most horrible
you know, that was a badweather. And our Pluto that we were
talking about. Pluto's getting ready tomove into Aquarius and then it will retrograte

(42:05):
back into Capricorn. It was atwenty year transit. Twenty years and Pluto
is death and rebirth detransformation power.Well, we're both Capricorn rising. Yeah.
When Pluto entered Capricorn in two thousandnine, that's when I came out
as gay. And now it's asit's exiting. This is when I'm going
to Peru to get my ayahuasca shaman. That's a very interesting timeline, like

(42:29):
the beginning of authenticity, stepping intothe career authenticity. Yeah, I'm trying
to remember. In two thousand andnine, I think that's when I was
in college and that's when I wasfull force in entertainment journalism. That's what
I wanted to do. And clearlythere's black a Switcheru. That happened,

(42:49):
but again, I know that thatexperience was preparing me for whatever's next,
as with every experience, so I'mexcited to see what transpires. I feel
it, and it's been a it'sit's been a long thing lately where maybe
like at least the last year orso, I've been feeling in my soul
and my spirit and my bones thatthere's a huge shift in my life happening,

(43:12):
and it's right around the corner.I have no idea what the fuck
it looks like. And the retrogradeback into Capricorn, it's going to pick
up the pieces of what didn't getfully like integrated, so that those two
months I'm going to be in Peru, it will be retrograded in Capricorn.
When is that again, I'm Julyand August. I don't have the exact
retrograde dates, but I know whileI'm gone it's going to be okay.

(43:34):
So summer, yeah, all right, I'll start preparing. Now that's astrology
in a nutshell, I suppose.Yeah, Well, in two thousand nine
I graduated high school. But butI did have a transitional phase in two
thousand nine that I'm thinking about itbecause that's when I started like my career
and um the MTA, which isa subway system in New York, and
that's what Also when I like leftmy house and was living on my own,

(43:58):
doing everything in my own. Andthen last year, which would have
been ten eleven years after that,is when I leave that job and leave
a lot of things in New Yorkand now come here. I don't know
you were from New York. Yeah, I was actually born in Jamaica,
raised in Brooklyn. That's right,Okay, I want to go so bad,

(44:22):
like look at you with this wholelife transition of like now you're doing
work that's deeply spiritual and Pluto movinginto Aquarius. It's like you're going to
become very magnetic over the next time. Oh yeah, I feel it already.
It's your age and it's Pluto movingthrough your sign. Yeah. I've
been feeling it already because even beforeI started this platform, it was just

(44:44):
basically, you know, more sotherapy. I have an understanding of spirituality
and wellness and healing and in avery very basic form, but just having
conversations, I've picked up so muchthings so quickly. So when I am
having conversations when it comes to likeum chakras or anything like that, but

(45:05):
also just about your mentality. Peoplehave been gravitating like really easily. And
so now with this platform, peopleare asking, oh, you know,
where can I find a therapist forgrief? Where can I find a therapist
for trauma? For this? Thesethings? And like you said, yeah,
people are. I'm feeling the magnetalready. I'm feeling people because you
allowed yourself to be seen in thatway. And Aquarius is usually don't want

(45:28):
to be in the center. Right, That's the crazy thing. And this
is what I keep having to explainto my therapist, Right, I don't
necessarily want to be in the limelight. I am the limelight to be because
it's just made for me to be. So it's not it's even I am
fully into understanding my life path andknowing that if things are happening to me

(45:52):
or for me, or it isa magnet people are coming, then it's
just meant to happen. So andI tell my m my coach, my
therapist is like our last session,I'm perfect, but I also have to
embody the responsibility of perfection and maintainingthat all the time. Pressure too.

(46:12):
It is a lot of pressure.Now do I necessarily on a regular day
want to feel that pressure. Probablynot. But it's my responsibility, because
responsibility, because it's who I am. So even with this pressure, I
still take it on and accept itand I still act on it with that
responsibility, not because I want tobe, but because it's just meant to
be. And it's because I'm acceptingof that life path that. Yeah,

(46:36):
pressure or not, it's gonna Ihave to be this way because it's who
I am. So you have Virgoon his birthday. I was just thinking
that perfection, that perfectionism. Ilove what you said, and be mindful
of how you define perfection, yeah, because you know, you never want
to put yourself in a place whereyou are setting such a high standard that
you then feel critical of yourself fornot reaching it. You know, some

(47:00):
days perfection is being able to getout of bed. So here, now
this is where the embodiment comes in, right because I don't have to I
don't have to act the definition ofperfection. I just am. When you're
messing up perfectly, Okay, that'smore such various that no matter what's going

(47:24):
on, no matter everything is unfoldingas a ship, right, And it's
only because I'm paying attention to myselfand the sovereignty and myself. And as
long as I am being myself allthe time and living my true self and
my path without it being a detrimentto anybody else, right, I'm perfect

(47:45):
exactly. And also Aquarius is asister sign of Leo, so Leo really
teaches Aquarius placements how to be inthe spotlight. I love Leo's yeah,
I know, and then you teachthem to remember that like there's greater good
God when you consider the collective,you know, and when you're allowed to
shine that warmth on everyone as opposedto focusing and just on yourself. Humility

(48:08):
comes from Aquarius. So yeah,they're good at not making things about themselves
and you're finding that balance of likeactually I am the light, yeah you
know, but if you want tocome over to light, that's up to
you very well well. And you'reScorpio rising too, so people won't be
able to help themselves. They're goingto be magnetized. There could be a
little bit. And I feel likeScorpio has like this pleasurable attachment to like

(48:31):
their sign. So when people docome over or like, come into this
space. They feel good about thedecision making, and that goes into my
personality of making people feel comfortable.It's very easy from me to make people
feel comfortable being around me. Soyeah, that, well, it's that
Aquarius charm and then the Capricorn moon. You can handle whatever is coming your

(48:53):
way. It's going to make youpatient. It's a nice combination. So
I want to do get into thisage of Aquarius right and understanding that even
more Before that, one question I'vealways had is what does retrograde me?
Or like? And I'm asking allthe like, popular what does retrograde me?

(49:13):
You want to go first on thisone? Sure? My understanding with
retrograde is oftentimes it's referred to aslike a planet moving backwards. But to
my understanding and correct me if I'mwrong, the planet's not actually moving backwards.
It's it's like an illusion that it'smoving backwards. And so when a
planet is in retrograde, it's reallya time to reflect. And so it's
a time to go back metaphorically intowhatever that planet and its transit is emphasizing

(49:39):
in order to either tie up looseends or really like fill the cracks of
the foundation that's transit wise. Nowin your chart, you can have placements
that were retrograde when you were born, and when that shows up, my
understanding is whatever is emphasized with thatplacement is more internalized with you as a

(50:00):
posed to it being expressed outwardly andexperienced in that way. So you think
retrograde r e re so reflect refrain. Yeah, it's going back and taking
inventory almost on what you need tochange or tweak before you can move forward.
I love how you put all ofthat. Thank you, welcome,

(50:22):
You're good with your words. Ialso think about it as retrograde. Like
you said, the word retro togo backwards. Oftentimes we can view these
periods when it's happening in the skyas it's almost like an exam period.
So we will be reviewing things orreflecting on things where we've already been.
So it can be picking up somethingthat we did not finish. It can

(50:45):
be reviewing a dynamic which we alreadythought we had finished and it's like working
out its last burst. Or itcan be you know, going to something
and saying, actually, no,that's not for me, and just not
touching it all together. But it'scoming back up. So sometimes we see
people like an addictive you know,people who have addiction problems. Sometimes they
relapse during a retrograde phase or weget back with that X or hook up.

(51:07):
Okay, you know it's it's it'san exam period. It's time to
examine and take your exam so toreframe, reflect, revisit. And it's
not always good, it's not alwayseasy, and sometimes the retrograde can keep
you stuck in that bad pattern afterwards. The purpose of it is it's almost
like the devil in the tarot tryingto seduce you out of your sin by

(51:30):
making you make the mistake until youdon't want to make it anymore. Right,
that's the most extreme version of aretro Right, more gentler side is
like I'm back here again. It'slike the Ora Boros, the Great Serpent,
the Spiral. I'm just revisiting whereI've been and then let you go
back to like it up the looseen. Yeah, how do you know
you're really done? That's exactly That'swhat I always tell people, because there's

(51:51):
a lot of shame you can harborwith that, and I'm always like,
there's no need for shame. Youweren't ready yet. If you're not ready
to let it go, you can'tforce yourself to be ready because then I'll
just show up in other ways.But when you're ready, you know and
you do what you need to do. So I like that retrogrades are activators
of shame. It's kind of anarchetype of way of looking at it,

(52:13):
and our responsibility when they happen isto be not shameless, but to be
forgiving, have atonement, to forgiveourselves, to apologize to others, compassionate
it's okay, yeah, Well,in Jewish culture they have I believe it's
yam Kapor, the day of atonement, where people have permission to go and
apologize or forgive. Like there's literallya day out of the year where you

(52:36):
get to the towards you just tomake sure. I want to make sure
everybody's capturing this, hopefully being infogood. There's literally a day out of
the year with yam kapoor where peopleare invited to call people up and meet
people for launch to have really uncomfortableconversations, to apologize. So I like
to think of, especially mercury retrogradesperiods where we get to do that it's

(52:58):
almost like there's permission. Your exoalways comes back or the person that you
haven't talked to in years, andwe get to resolve some conflict. That's
really beautiful because now you're you're changingthe environment, right, so you know
you can't change the person, soyou change the environment and it opens up
the space. It really happens.The environment, the intention, the understanding
of the situation, and that alloffers you freedom. Yeah, so is

(53:22):
that why? Oh so that's thereason why people would like hate retro mercury
retrograde because it's like, oh,you're supposed to reflect, but you haven't,
so now you're stuck in this uncomfortableLike when Mercury's retrograding, we're going
to see things like travel on thethreads, technology dysfunction, communication mishaps,
like missing that one detail on theGoogle map and then you get off the
wrong highway. Like things are justconstantly in um like miniature crisis, a

(53:47):
little disarray there you go. Yeah, but I want to also touch upon
you were talking about how when thingsare retrograding in the sky, they appear
to be moving backwards. I almostlike to think of it as like Earth
is like intrigrading, and we justit looks backwards to us because we're actually
the ones who are like respective,you know what. It's almost that kind
of vibe. Yeah, I couldtotally see that. Okay, So now

(54:09):
Age of Aquarius, right, Soapparently I was wrong because I thought the
Age of Aquis, I swear toGod. I google this and it said
the Age of Curius was last summeror eerro curis or it's over and March.
Right, that's the fastest age ofI'm gonna look at this up again.
But the Age of Aquis or allright, So the other part of

(54:30):
it is um. As it explainedto me that this is this is where
the world like real lines or likecompassion or like something like that, since
happens. If you know the song, this is the dawning of the age,
you know, harmony and understanding.We talked about this a little bit

(54:51):
before the podcast, but ages lastapproximately two thousand, one hundred and fifty
years. Um. You can understandan age being in transition at a certain
point, and there's a huge grayarea of are we in the Age of
Aquarius yet or did it all happen? So some theorize that when the Mayan
calendar ended December twenty. First,I think it was of twenty twelve that

(55:14):
was the end of the Age ofPisces, and now we're like in the
Age of Aquarius. Others theorized thatwhen Saturn and Jupiter entered Aquarius at the
same time. I believe I wasin December of twenty twenty, that's when
we entered Age of Aquarius. Butthen you were saying some other interesting thoughts
about like the transition. Yeah,so again I always encourage people to do

(55:35):
their own research and see what resonateswith them. But my understanding what the
Age of Aquarius is. First ofall, when we're in an age of
any sign, that's a procession ofthe Earth, and the Earth sort of
tilted wobble around, like its revolutionaround the signs, and so it takes
approximately twenty six thousand years for therevolution, and astrologers divided that with the

(56:01):
twelve signs and it was roughly twothousand ish years. And so whatever age
we're in is really reflected in howwe operate as you know, humanity.
Yeah, and so you think aboutlike the piscey and age and that was
you know, Pisces energy is verymuch about oneness, about sacrifice, about

(56:23):
Yeah, so that was the riseof Christianity and even plant right, and
even you know with Jesus and thefish, you know, the symbolism that
came of it. You think beforePisces it was Aries, and that's when
there was a lot of war,a lot of conflict, you know,
killing for fun in the Colosseum,Like that's what very aries as fuck if

(56:44):
you ask me, you know.So it's like you know with Gemini,
when it was in the age ofGemini, some say that was when language
was formed, and so there's alot of sort of themes that come with
it. And so that's why youknow, obviously every two thousand years that's
a huge tred transit. And sothe idea is that we are one of

(57:05):
the ideas is that we are notfully in the Age of Aquarius yet,
but we are experiencing the transition fromPisces to Aquarius, which is leaving sort
of traditional religion and concepts and sacrificein that way, or maybe even deception
because you know, Pisces can alsobe a sign of illusion and moving more

(57:28):
into technology, into collective into allof that, right, I will say,
and this is just my personal sortof intuitive what's the word observation of
this transition. I personally believe we'rein a transition. I can't remember the

(57:49):
name, but there is some astrologicalcalendar or something that says we won't fully
be an Age of Aquarius until twentyfive ninety seven, So that's like obviously
a long time away. You know, should we reincarnate, maybe we'll experience
it again, but we're going tobe something, right, you just won't
look like this. Yeah. ButI feel like part of the profound aspect

(58:14):
of us being here at this timeand witnessing this transition is we really get
to lay the foundation of what thatlooks like. And I think we're in
a time now where we are questioningthe greed and corruption of those in charge
and what power actually means, becausewe're going to move into the Age of
Aquarius regardless, but the way thatmanifest really depends on the work we do

(58:37):
right now, because are we goingto continue to allow that energy to lead
that force? Because I'll tell youright now, that's a scary ass future.
If you're asking me where it's likethere are people in charge who have
very you know, unhealthy concepts ofwhat they want to use this new technology
for or are we going to bringit back and you know, disperse the

(58:58):
power to the people so that wecan take these technological advancements and use it
to everyone's benefit. And I knowthat we're in a transition because if you
think of just our lifetime, thetechnological advancements we've seen, like I used
to listen to cassette tapes. Yeah, you know, like if you just
see like how quickly how everything computers, WiFi, DVDs, movies, streaming

(59:23):
music right now. Well, fromthe Industrial Revolution at the end of the
eighteen hundreds going all the way tonow. The amount of expansion that technology
has shown, and this in thelast like one hundred two hundred years is
exponential compared to the entire course ofhumanity, which is very aquarian, right,

(59:45):
very innovative. So would that beum last, we would say,
would that be like transitioning out ofpisces? It's debatable, you know,
based on your timeline, we're kindof in the transition now based on what
I've heard kind of research myself,we're like in it now. But regardless,
like we can see there is atransition phase hand. If we are

(01:00:07):
in the Age of Aquarius. We'rejust at the beginning and it's already like
if Aquarius is that most brilliant signof the zodiac, like real quick,
and think about it this way.This is the first time in humanity where
we have electricity, so when it'snighttime, everything's a light, you know.
So Aquarius is the age of enlightenment, so things literally becoming lighter or

(01:00:29):
brighter or coming to light, allthings, all perspectives being seen. We
have much more balance, although it'snot perfect between people from different races,
ethnicity's gender identity. This is thefirst time in history where you can surgically
modify your body to become a differentgender. That's very aquarian. The concept

(01:00:50):
of open relationships being accepted by themasses coming to the forefront. I've heard,
like read some stuff about like marriagecontracts being like ten years. Maybe
that being an upcoming thing, breakingall the boxes and limitation progressiveness, Yeah,
breaking the rules women in politics yetI mean so much. And even
when you look at regular like fullmoon, right, there's always a shadow

(01:01:13):
period before and after where it's notlike the peak energy of the moon,
but you're still feeling it and it'sstill affecting you. And so if you
take that microcosm to the macro andit's like, Okay, we may not
be in the thick of Aquarius,and you know, we're not on other
planets yet, but but we're feelingthe effects of that energy. And I
think that's again why in our lifetimeit's so important to be mindful of these

(01:01:37):
things, because this is very muchlike what's your contribution, yeah, type
of aspects. Well, an Aquariusis if we think about the Age of
Pisces, every sign has a versionof what God looks like in their eyes.
So the age of Pisces, Godwas Jesus, and then also like
the heavenly Father, so Jesus,father son, Holy Spirit. As we
move into the age of Aquarius,God now becomes the collective. So and

(01:02:01):
you can think about social media asbeing the new form of morality. So
like cancel culture, other people's perspective, hearing what the world has the same,
Yeah, everybody has an input.Yes, so the collective, the
algorithm also being seen as a formof God. What gets shown and what
doesn't, and we can unpack that. But then also the entire planet,

(01:02:23):
because Aquarius is the sign of savingthe planet and our planets kind of in
trouble right now. So what I'mexpecting with the Age of Aquarius is some
kind of technology will be developed tohelp save the planet clean it up,
and then technology and nature are goingto find ways to live hand in hand,
people having like biological limbs and stuffmade out of robots. Yeah.

(01:02:45):
So it's funny because, um,when I was having a I forgot who
I was having the conversation with.But when we were talking about like Asio
Aquarius and technology and like, itjust like there's this sense of like healing
and togetherness, right. Um,I started thinking about like the pandemic,
right, and that and that beingwas an aquarious right, and that being

(01:03:05):
like a purge type of healing.Right, So that's a like disease and
stuff like these are all natural typeof things. And regardless of like what
we know, what we believe ofwhat COVID was, it's like the overarching
like look of it is this isa detox, right, and we are
naturally part of Earth like everything else. And then there's times where there might

(01:03:29):
be a detox of like plants,where like there's a certain amount of plants
or animals that like die off andlike getting rid of So I saw it
when it was explained to me inthat sense of where in this age of
like, um, not fixing,but like togetherness or like And I don't
see it as only humans. Isee it as a whole world. So
we're all finding a way of uhliving together and kind of cleaning up the

(01:03:54):
gunk that was there. And Idon't And I'm not saying like human lives
being lost is like cleaning athing.I'm just saying that we all have a
part in nature, within life anddying and what it looks like as far
as like detoxic. Yeah, Imean I feel like because I work with
I do shadow work so much andI work with the shadow. To me,

(01:04:15):
that was a macro shadow period ofall your distractions and coping mechanisms have
been taken away from you. Nowyou must sit with yourself. And some
people had a very hard time withthat. A lot of people committed suicide
or dah, a lot of peoplegot sober. Yeah, and you also
learned about what matters and what doesn'tmatter any matters. That's what That's what

(01:04:38):
Gemini archetype is in my eyes.Gemini and Virgo and the North node was
moving through Gemini when the pandemic began, you know, so it's the question
of what really matters, but Geminialso being the local community being stuck in
one place, getting to know what'saround you, this idea like fragmentation.
So the pandemic was really reflective ofsadder inaquarious. We had the biggest civil

(01:05:01):
rights movement of the world during thattime, with Black Lives Matter and all
of that, and then also peoplebeing stuck in their homes on top of
that, so like they had roomeveryone was home to march to protests,
so like we could see that howthat formula and then and that's and that
was actually a crazy time because evenwith the George Floyd Um thing. In

(01:05:23):
my I'm only thirty thirty two now, but in my at the time,
I was like thirty thirty one.In my life experience, that was the
first time me seeing that a globalprotest on one specific topic. And it
was like this is actually crazy butamazing to see and it coming out of
like some something like so dark.It's like unification. Um there was another

(01:05:46):
thing I was going to say,but yeah, yeah, there's this unification
is like so amazing that we canget to this space of togetherness where it
was coming from where it seemed likefor me, I think religion is like
a sense of isolation for like Iwouldn't say cult of like specific groups.
But now we're getting to the spaceof like we're all fingering out together.

(01:06:08):
Is amazing. And then the otherpart of it is the technology, right,
and the technology within yourself. Yeah, and so understanding yourself and where
you are within the hive is Ifound was like where I'm feeling things are
right now? Yeah, yeah,and go for it. Okay. There's
like a weird shadow kind of emergingtoo, of like a lot of the

(01:06:30):
you know, the food in ourcountry here in the US having like really
bad hormones and chemicals in it thatare causing people to gain a lot of
weight. And then this like takingaway from people's sense of self worth,
self esteem, self love, bodydysmorphia or other dysmorphias that could come up.
That's also like a shadow of Aquarius. So like this question just kind
of emerging at this time. That'ssomething else to kind of meditate on.

(01:06:55):
Yeah, I was just going toadd that I feel like we are are
again in a place of like we'reon the precipice of such radical change to
the point of really like crumbling ourfoundations and building a new and in order
for that to happen, people neededto not be afraid to challenge tradition and

(01:07:17):
to challenge societal norms. And onething is if people are comfortable, even
if it's not ideal, they're notgoing to do shit about it. And
I think as a collective, wehave been pushed in so many ways over
the last three years to the pointwhere there's a lot of people who have
nothing to lose anymore. And that'sthe type of bit you got to be

(01:07:39):
scared of. It's someone who hasnothing to lose because they're about to fight
for whatever it is that they needand they want. And I think collectively,
because we've been all going through itso much individually, that we are
starting to understand we are not alonein how we're feeling. We are not
alone in our struggle, and it'shelping us come together so that we can
create this change globally and collectively ina way that can really implement the type

(01:08:02):
of foundation that we can build uponinstead of continuously trying to build on crack
foundation. Yeah, So it's it'sa very empowering time, even though it
feels very debilitating at the same time. Well, something a little bit more
fun about the Age of It's Aquariusis the sign of aliens. So like

(01:08:25):
humanity maybe coming, yes, girl, humanity may be coming into contact with
extraterrestrial maybe in the course of ourlives even but possibly venturing to other planets
or being in contact with other civilizations. That could be like a major theme
of Age of Aquarius as well.You know, it's crazy how an Aquarius
is, right, because as you'resaying this, what pops in my head

(01:08:47):
is we're going to be able tobecause I'm not thinking of like some being
like three thousand light years away isgoing to come here. I'm thinking of
it as we're going to get technologyenough technology to be able to send somebody
in space and have a birth outsideof Earth. Well, oh that's interesting.
So yeah, that's what do youthink about that? I know,

(01:09:12):
my brain is amazing. I wasthinking how that reflects a dream I had
the other night where I have veryvivid dreams sometimes I definitely actual travel,
and I had a dream that Iwas put on this ship and they like
blasted me off in space and Iremember feeling what I felt just being in

(01:09:32):
the cosmos, which was terrified butalso like so much wonder and then landing
in some place I don't know whereI was, and there was a very
strange being that caught my eye andthen shifted into a human in order for
me to feel comfortable. Yeah,and I had my bow staff with me.

(01:09:53):
I practiced with my bow staff,so I like, you know,
like I was ready, and andI forgot what they said to me.
But because there was there's a lotof war in my dreams too, which
comes from trauma in this lifetime.But right, absolutely, and so we
definitely like there wasn't ambush in thatdream, and there was like a herd
of people that came and it waslike a whole thing. But I almost

(01:10:15):
feel like, and this is wheremy like weird comes out. But I
think they're already here, you know, like I don't we don't know who
is what. I might be afucking alien, like I don't know,
I think, right, Like Ican't wait for you to have a baby
in space so it'll be televised,right, It's like a live birth in

(01:10:41):
the cosmos between these constellations. TikTokUm yeah, you know. I think
as as there's so much you know, judgment and chamber around these types of
conversations, I think people are beingmore open to it. And my thing
is like, I don't know shit, like i'd be knowing, but I
don't know the absolute truth of thislife. And I think that's what fascinates

(01:11:03):
me about it is the mystery ofit all. So to me, anytime
someone's like, can I tell yousomething but it might sound crazy, I'm
like, I'm the perfect person totalk to because it ain't shit. You
can tell me that I'm going tothink you're crazy for because anything is possible.
Yeah. And plus I've seen somecrazy shit myself and I'm like,
Okay, is that a Capricorn thing? Yeah? Because people do that to

(01:11:25):
me and now I'll tell them.Because I have a friend who's a flat
earther, right, But that's probablythe only weird thing about her, right.
Everything else is like standard, right, but she's a flat Earth,
And I'd be like, to behonest with you, you can talk to
me about this all the time becauseI can't prove you wrong. Right,
So who knows who knows to bein a cube? Right? Capricorn is

(01:11:46):
Archetypally, it falls under like thecrone, So like the wise woman who
she devours beauty and suffering through thesame mouth. Capricorn's have experienced trauma or
inherited trauma, one of the signsof being traumatized, but their coping mechanism
is resilience. So like, regardlessof what they experienced, Capricorn is going

(01:12:09):
to get through it because they justhave so much indignation that they're not going
to let it get to them.So Capricorns can stomach any point of view.
They can hear anyone's thought or idea. They make incredible er doctors or
first responders trauma. He was anemergency responder. There you go, Capricorn.
I was a really good one,too, sure because you weren't feel

(01:12:29):
it. Yeah, you know,well, sorry to cut your thought.
But when when I was an emergencyresponder in UM in New York for the
subways, one of the calls thatwe would get is somebody who was hit
by the train. So well,yeah, I'm one of the people that
they would send. But I workso I work alone right as UM they
spread us out, so when Iwould drive to the location. My very
very first incident where somebody got hitby the train and was deceased. The

(01:12:54):
person was still under the train,so we had to like move the train
out the way for us, likepair of Mexican him, um out of
there. But my co worker whowas working like close in the area and
he came, Um, he wasjust like, I just can't. I
can't do it. I can't godown there and see this dead body and
stuff like that. And I wasjust like, you know what, you

(01:13:15):
stay up here, collect the informationfor whatever information we need. I'm gonna
go down there and handle things.And even in this my very first time,
like um, having this experience onthe job, and I like saw
a dead body right in front ofme, and I'm all right, I
can do this. And it waslike and it was scorpio rising too,
so yeah, so and and itwasn't it was like instantaneous. But I

(01:13:38):
mean part of that is I'm Iview life and death in this at the
same level. So I didn't seethis as a bad thing, right,
I mean I feel you on that, yeah, And I mean in the
sense of this is not how Iwould want anybody to go out right being
being hit by the trainer or anythinglike that. But I understand that it

(01:14:01):
was going to happen some point andsometimes Capricorn instinct it is what it is,
Yeah, and it's like it's hereand I can't change it. I
can't bring this person back a life, So now what can I do from
this point on? And so likethat's kind of my mindset, and it's
a mindsett mixed with there's nothing Ican do right about what happened, but
I could do something about what's goingto happen next, and the level of

(01:14:24):
understanding like death is normal. Soit was like if this person would have
got hit and was alive and allI had to do was what I had
to do so that they can getto the hospital or whatever, but they
got hit and they died, Istill have to do what I have to
do regardless. Yeah, yeah,man. And so Aquarius and Capricorn are

(01:14:45):
kind of those signs that are goodat being unphased, and you've got a
Scorpio rising, so dealing with death. It makes sense that you worked as
that job. Yeah. Virgos arealso really good in er too, because
they're just like, it is whatit is, Paul, the knife out
of the guy's neck or and thenwell for those signs and like those like
job placements. I think it's alsothe communication, the kind of communication they

(01:15:08):
have, so to speak to otherpeople and let them know, like,
hey, this is news right wherethey're bad or good. Right, So
I feel like what you're saying withthe Capricorn placement or whatever, they're able
to communicate news, yeah, difficultnews. And you also just I don't

(01:15:30):
know if it's the signs or what, but your presence and your energy is
very friendly and calming, and Ithink that, regardless of what's going on,
your presence gives someone the ability tofeel safe with you, that they
can trust that you will lead themwherever they need to go right in those
moments. Right, I have thisthing where I can't change everything, but

(01:15:53):
the things that I can change canhelp. So, um, let's say,
for instance, you're going through griefor whatever the case may be.
I can't change what happened which you'regoing through, but I can control the
space in the environment. Right,So if I can't change you, I
can change like your space divine,masculine. So now that your environment is

(01:16:15):
calls for calmness even though your emotionsaren't calling for it, That's what I
could bring to people, and thatbrings makes people at bit more comfortable.
And I love that you're sorry continuingnow, I was just going to say
that if I can't help, Ifind a way to take away one thing
that's hurting. Mmm. Yeah,I love that you're expressing this. I

(01:16:38):
love that you're showing up in thisenergy because again we're seeing a rise of
this divine masculine energy and redefining masculineenergy in the way that it was always
meant to be understood, which isa heart led warrior, a protector,
someone who's reliable and stable. AndI think for so long we have accepted
this idea that masculinity is like thisvery aggressive, very domineering, very controlling

(01:17:04):
type of ego led energy, andreally it's holding that space, you know,
and creating the safety and the comfortas opposed to you know, as
a woman who's dated many men,bless their hearts, it's always been this
thing of feeling like they need tosolve the problem. And I know where

(01:17:25):
that comes from. But I'm gonnatell you right now, I can solve
the problem right a capricorn any likewhy can't say any woman, But in
most of my experiences. I didn'tneed help solving the problem. I needed
someone to hold me and make mefeel safe while I grieve whatever is coming
up so that I can show upand solve the problem. I needed someone

(01:17:46):
to hold me through the process.And so that was always sort of this
miss like misdirected or disconnect. Thatwould happen a lot where men would get
frustrated because I'm venting or I'm orsomething. They're like, well, I
don't know, like why don't youdo that? And it's like whoa right,
And again, it's very much conditioned, it's very much programmed. It's

(01:18:09):
very much like men were always raisedto think that they had to fix things
um and then women fix people.So it's like coming back to no,
no, like, no one needsfixing because nobody is broken. All we
need is a safe space to bewho we are and be able to feel
the love that we weren't able tofeel for a really long time, so

(01:18:30):
that we can activate the love thathas been like lying dormant within ourselves by
experiencing it with someone else we trustgiving it to us. So I love
that these men are doing this becauseyeah, yeah, it's also the gender
bending age, right, right,and can be feminine, women can be
masculine or embrace those people don't evenlike them anymore. Right. So so

(01:18:54):
two things. One what you're sayingabout, like the masculinity and like how
we're approaching things. It's even umand the problem solving because I've had the
same I wouldn't really call it issuebecause you know, wanting to solve the
problem is just it's just how werewe were conditioned coming from love? Yeah?
Yeah, so it's like it mightnot the intention, right, we

(01:19:15):
get it anyway. Um. Iwas speaking to a friend recently who's going
through a problem in her relationship whereit was something happened where like she just
had to like she has to leaveher marriage, right, And one thing
I said to her her was,um, you know what emotions are you
feeling? And like is this thelast straw for you? And she was

(01:19:35):
like, well why would you askme? She explained her much. She's
like, why would you asplaying ifthis last straw? And I was like
and I said to her, well, this is not always a last straw
for everybody. So I want toknow how to react to you as a
friend, like within this time,because I might need to tell you,
you know, fuck him, leavehim like he ain't shit whatever, or

(01:19:56):
I might need to tell you,Okay, well if that's the decision you're
gonna make, Like, let's thinkabout where this is going to lead in
the future. Like, so myresponse to people now has been much different
than what used to be, whichwould just be well, let's find a
solution to this. All right,well he did this to you, Like,
all right, well, what arewe going to do next? Let's
say this things going? But nowI can be more present in well,
how do you feel right? Whatare we feeling right? Now, Let's

(01:20:19):
let's take a second and like sitwith this and let's talk about this,
and then we can and that's thesolution. That's also being solution based.
But it's it's it's I feel likethe approach is much different. It's less
ego. It's it's less of whatcan I do for you and more of
like, well, how can Ibe there for you? Yeah? Exactly.

(01:20:39):
Yeah. And the other part ofthat is with UM as far as
like masculinity, UM, I agreewith it because I've always felt that you
can't have peak masculinity unless you're havingpeak femininity at the same time. Interesting
yeah, and that's the balance betweenboth. And we're not talking about what
do you mean by peak, sowe're vibrational or just like full expressing.

(01:21:02):
I'm gonna put it in this sensewhat we let's say what we understand of
manhood and womanhood, right, andwe'll even use societal understandings, right,
So just so we all have thisunderstanding of masculinity and manhood being strength and
power and all these things, andfemininity being comfort or whatever. A person

(01:21:25):
having that energy and experiencing both atthe same time is masculinity, and it
also is femininity. But when you'reexperiencing both, or you're doing both,
like oh, I'm a powerful,strong person, but I am also still
a soft, comforting person, thenyou're achieving both at the same time.
But you can only achieve both ifyou're experiencing both at their peak. Now

(01:21:47):
I'm gonna explain it a little bitfurther. If you want to indulge in
just one, like say, ifyou want to indulge in only masculinity,
you're actually and you're further away fromfemininity. You're actually experiencing less masculinity because
you can only have a lot ofboth if you're experiencing both at the same
time, and that goes the samefor femininity. Interesting, but that's just

(01:22:10):
my belief sure well as I Sothe life coaching program that I do is
called the shape shifter or program.So I teach my clients that you can
shape shift into whatever astrological archetype mightbe needed for a particular situation. So,
you know, I believe the mostfully realized people have all of the

(01:22:30):
archetypes within themselves developed so that theycan call forward their feminine, their masculine,
their boundaries, their leniency, whateverit might be at any given moment.
So I suppose I see where you'rewhere you're going with this, I
wrote a graph about I'm gonna showyou. I would love to see the
graph I'm gonna show you, youknow, But also the idea that you
can you can just shape shift intothat ultimate or that peak femininity when needed

(01:22:56):
and then revert back to you know, homeostasis and then to call or to
shape chef. Right. You know, That's that's how I'm understanding it,
right, And I mean the acknowledgementof it makes it easier to indulge in
it. Right. So let's say, for instance, I was doing a
podcast before, and this guy Iwas speaking to on the podcast didn't really
understand how to indulge in his femininity. Sure right, So at the time
I didn't really know how. Ididn't really know how to explain to him.

(01:23:18):
But he said we were going on. He said that he has like
a nephew, a young nephew whohe really cares for. He feels like
a strong connection too. And whenhe has his nephew, you know,
he's he's playful, he holds anephew like things like that. And I'm
like, well, you're experiencing femininityright there, or feminine energy right So

(01:23:38):
we can be doing it what I'vebeen noticing it. So I can go
to I can approach a situation andbe aggressive, I can indulge in my
masculine side of protecting in all thesethings. But when it comes to a
point of sex, gonna be soft, We're going to be precise. I'm
gonna I'm gonna maneuver in a waythat's not rough and aggressive, because that's

(01:23:59):
not pleasure at all. So atthat time, I don't need to indulge
in masculine energy when it comes tosexual performance. I'm going to indulge in
my feminine energy. So when youknow what to indulge in and when you
have a stronger sense of that energy, and having that sense of both at
the same time is when you're experiencingthe peak of one. But you can't

(01:24:23):
experience the peak of one unless you'reexperiencing the peak of both at the same
time. I mean, that's theend in Yang, you know, it's
I think it's the language that makesthe separation. Who's to say feminine,
right, being soft like maybe hewas in his masculine energy while caring for
his nephew. Yeah, that's whyI said, using societal like understand,
just so we can all be onthe same base. Yeah. It's also

(01:24:45):
as we're entering the age of Aquari'sbecoming an outdated right, and we're trying
to find new language that accurately reflectswhat it is because I know you know,
and I can tell you even thoughI'm not a mother, but feminine
energy is also very protective, youknow, incredibly protective and strong. And
so the way I see it isalmost like with everything in life, everything

(01:25:06):
is a spectrum, right, andyou're constantly just shifting between the two polarities
and in this case that might bemasculine feminine. But I also remind everybody
that like you have both energies withinyou, regardless of how you identify externally.
And so that's merging the two.And if you know the chakra system,
you know that your lower three chakrasare your masculine chakras that help you

(01:25:29):
understand yourself in the material realm.Your upper three chakras are your feminine chakras
that are your connection to the divineand the other worldly things and the unseen.
And the heart is the bridge thatconnects your divinity of your humanity exactly.
And that's why the heart is sucha center stage four. That and
why I work with the heart chakraso much because anybody you know, I'm

(01:25:55):
a feminine presenting and identifying person,but lead with masculine energy for most of
my life because of my wounded feminineenergy and my wounded masculine energy. And
so until I was healing my masculineenergy, which was being in the presence
of healthy masculine people that allowed meto be in my feminine I was able

(01:26:15):
to create that union within myself ofallowing my masculine energy be like, hey,
you're unhealthy. You know, thecriticism, the judgment, the control,
all of these things is not healthy. And again, this was my
internal state, and my feminine cannotheal if my masculine is not healed,
because the masculine is the foundation thathelps the feminine flourish. So it was

(01:26:40):
a matter of really getting to healthose aspects within myself in order for both
of them to coexist in a healthyway so that I can show up in
this way so that I can andthat's self mastery to me. Like I
know people have different ideas of whatthat means. For me, it's not
unlove and light all the time.I think that's bullshit. I think that's
a standard that is just not feasiblebecause you're not meant to be love and

(01:27:02):
light. And that's why I workwith the shadow, because there's so much
power in your darkness, but you'vebeen scared of it. And so for
me again all the place slength,diving into my darkness and getting in touch
with my inner Lilith and like reallyfinding her, that dark feminine. That's
when I was able to really harnessmy power in a way where my self

(01:27:26):
mastery is not love and light highvibes all the time. My self mastery
is it's never a reaction. Itis a conscious choice how I respond to
you. I get to pull fromall of these different things within me.
You don't get to decide how Ishow up. I decide how I show
up, and bitch, that'shit power. It's it's crazy because just last night

(01:27:47):
with the same friend, I wastalking to Mila and I was telling her
how we were talking about the lightin the dark, and I was like,
it's so crazy because with this darkwhich is which is a good to
be her dark past, right,Um, what's gonna come out of this
is going to be so much lightbecause within that there was a lot of

(01:28:08):
repressing of herself and now there's goingto be this explosion of sovereignty that's gonna
come from her. And I waslike, it's so crazy that you know,
out of this darkness, this isabout to breed this whole light like
light light in different ways, likein color, but also in like lifting,
right, She's gonna feel like somuch light in weight. I mean,
she's gonna feel so much lighter inthat sense. And um, I

(01:28:31):
was like, it's so it's socrazy because within the relationship and what she
didn't know as she thought it waslike light and great and everything was perfect,
but there was this like darkness thatwas there. And the only thing
that's going to happen from darkness islight's gonna come from it. But when
you're stuck in like the only thingyou could see is darkness and the shadows.
So that's why the balance of bothis so important. But staying to

(01:28:55):
the light, it's only going toshow you the dark side and stuff like
that sure, and teaches us thattoo. You know, like plants don't
just sporadically bloom. They are inthe dark. They are underground, and
by constantly being nourished and replenished,that's when it sprouts above ground and gets
to the light. So the darknessis a very integral part of the process

(01:29:17):
to reaching that enlightenment within yourself.So if you look at plants and stuff
like that, it again everything isconnected. So it's like we could talk
about plants, it could talk aboutrelationships, we could talk about whatever.
Because even in that example, conflictis a huge door for deepened intimacy if
you're willing to walk through it.Shadow Work is deepened understanding of yourself and

(01:29:41):
greater access to power within yourself ifyou're willing to walk through it. So
that like walking through the Valley ofthe Shadow of Death, like that is
literally a journey that everything in naturegoes through in order to experience the growth
that they want. It's just whetheror not you're really willing to walk through
it or if you're going to keephiding from it, right, and so

(01:30:02):
further, your plant metaphor is indarkness where growth happens. Yeah, well,
you know, working with ayahuasca,you do it in the dark.
When people go to Peru, they'rein the Amazon jungle, which is like
very dark during the day. Sothe shadow and working with the psyche and
these aspects of the self to knowto use ayahuascas to go into your darkness,

(01:30:26):
to search your psyche, your soulfor these fragments, these splits,
you know, Scorpio archetype or Geminiarchetype, the parts of ourselves that are
broken. So we think about knowingyour darkness and being able to navigate it
and still choosing the light at theend of the day, or being able
to handle the darkness. That's themost profound calling of all. Right,

(01:30:48):
my reading and Kim Krans. Idon't know if you're familiar with her Taro.
She does amazing taro. But shehas this card about the underworld and
it says, knowing your darkness andchoosing the light is the most profound calling
of all. Yeah. Absolutely,because otherwise you're just running from it.
Yeah. Yeah, Um, we'vebeen here and like I said, to
avoid us going to this four hourpodcast and we really could market I'm wanting

(01:31:15):
to ask in this Age of Aquarius, like what does this mean for everybody?
Like or what do they do duringthis time? Good question. Well,
Age of Aquarius, we're going tosee unification of humanity. That's what
I was looking for, unification.Yeah, entering the hive mind, the
Age of Pisces was a lot abouthierarchy. Yeah, so if you wanted
to atone, you have to goto a priest, and the priests went

(01:31:36):
to God for you. That's beingthrown out the window with the hive mind
mentality. Now it's um, weare all God. You can just apologize
to each other, you can atoneto each other, you can create something
together. Humanity is now the seenas the creator the DV and Aquarius as
I or the the planet itself asthe deity, whereas Age of Pisces God

(01:31:59):
was God, and I mean itmakes sense Pisces rules God and religion.
So God got to be in hiscomfy place during that time. Now he
gets put back in the you know, in the closet. I want to
interject just for one second to havethis understanding, right, because I explained
this is somebody that of bubbles,right, and the age of Umu Pisces.
I'm seeing it as like this thisone big bubble and we just have

(01:32:23):
to conform to the big bubble.And for a Quarius, I see as
we're all in our own bubbles andwe just happen to be right next to
each other. So like I feellike and then there is this one big
bubble, but we all have ourown individual bubbles within it, whereas we
were all just placed in this onebig bubble and we had to like deal
with each others. Also saw likenot just Catholicism, Christianity, but there

(01:32:48):
was also like Buddhism and you know, yeah, right, all all these
major religions really emerging or like takingprominence. So so I see it as
there is this major religion and everybody'sunder it, right, Whereas in the
Age of Quarius, I'm seeing itas I am the religion, Your the
religion, Your the religion. Everybodyin this room is the religion and we're
just happened to all be in theroom. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(01:33:08):
yeah, accurate. Okaya, Ifeel like, well, going to your
analogy and metaphor, I see itas the ocean, you know. To
me, the ocean is also verygodly, and we're all drops within the
ocean. But just because we're adrop within the ocean doesn't mean we are
not the ocean. Right. Weare the ocean, but we are not
the whole ocean by ourselves. Itis you know, collectively, when we

(01:33:30):
come together, we create this verymasterful, natural, magical thing. And
I think the Age of Aquarius,in addition to what you were saying,
is also really accepting and owning andsharing our authenticity. You know, Aquarius
is also a sign of being unconventional, of being very unique, of being

(01:33:53):
very eccentric and allowing, you know, for lack of better words, like
letting your freak flag fly and notbeing ashamed of that. Yeah, like
being who you are. And we'veseen this already with like the heightened conversations
around authenticity and vulnerability and putting yourguard down and taking the masks off.

(01:34:13):
Yeah. So what I love aboutthis stuff is whether you know it or
not, it's happening. Like it'shappening. Someone may be listening to this
right now, have no fucking ideawhat we're talking about. But you've been
seeing it play out and even inyour own personal life, like when I
look at transits of people or certainthings and I'm telling them like, yeah,
this, this and that, andthey're like, oh shit, yeah

(01:34:36):
that happened or I did this.You don't have to be spiritual to lead
a spiritual life. You are spiritualbecause you exist, Like that's just existence,
and you're doing it whether or notyou are conscious of the fact that
you are on the path and onthe journey. There's just some of us
who are more inclined to deepening thatknowledge to help facilitate those who may need

(01:34:58):
that guidance or at least that reassuredbecause again, like I told you during
your reading, I'm not here totell you shit you don't already know.
I'm here to confirm what you alreadyknow, but make question because it's coming
from you so you need to hearit from someone outside of you. And
so again I think in this time, it's really building that strength within yourself.

(01:35:18):
Of that's why my company is calledreturn to Self, you know,
returning to yourself and understanding who youare without all of the influences that were
placed on you or the projections orthe expectations that took you away from who
you are, which is a sovereignbeing, you know, an unlimitless,
unlimitless, limitless conscious being that isvery much connected to everyone and everything and

(01:35:44):
beyond this world, you know.So it's it's an exciting time. But
again in order to reach that,a lot needs to be shed and sort
of taken off. But also aliensaliens being up. So my second question
is um the age of Aquarius.What does it mean for aquariums? I

(01:36:09):
mean, it's your age, baby. So like Aquarius is the sign of
being um, thinking about others morethan themselves, thinking about the collective.
The planet, Aquarius is one ofthe trickster archetypes that shares this with Sagittarius.
So trickster medicine is about bringing thetruth forward by either tricking people into
it or manipulating or guiding people intoit. So Aquariuses are going to be

(01:36:34):
in their element because they want tosave the planet, yes so, or
they want to progress things forward.They're good with technology, they're smart,
they're brilliant, they're humanitarian naturally.So it's like putting some It's like putting
a fish in a fish tank,you know, rather than trying to get
a fish to swim in a lava. Yeah, you're in your element,

(01:36:56):
You're exactly. It's this time willbe natural for you to live in.
They'll go with it easily. I'mso happy to hear that. Whereas like
a Scorpio, there more about privacy. Scorpio the age of Aquarius, where
everyone has social media and posting aboutthemselves all the time, they might feel
more resistance to that or have moreprivacy settings. I actually know a Scorpio
that went through something. They're justlike, you know, I don't really

(01:37:18):
feel like it's letting every know everyoneknow about this. I'm going to figure
this out, like we're here.Um. The reason why I say I'm
so happy you said that is becauseI have aunt who's like really the more
so on my mother figure, andshe was going through it herself. Wait
before I get into the story.I was gonna say something about boundaries,

(01:37:40):
about how um fuck it so many, so many things like flowing through my
mind with all these conversations like yeah, I see what your mercury sign is
in I can't remember, probably Gemini. I just want to hear what you
think about the age of Aquarius too. Yeah. So so my aunt Um,

(01:38:00):
she was telling me how she wasgoing through it with well I know,
and she was going through it likehelping other people. Her thing for
her whole life has always been toreach out help who needs help. Even
when she didn't have she would alwayslike go out of her way. And
so throughout the last I knew hercome around like two thousand and eight,
twenty seven, thousand and eight,and so over there since two thousand nine

(01:38:25):
until now, I've seen her havereally bad experiences with like reaching out and
like helping people, and I've seeingit go from like bad and progress into
like better and her having like moreboundaries in that sense to now she's like
a no as a no. Andwhen her birthday came up, her birthdays,

(01:38:45):
um January twenty third, one twothree, right beautiful. So when
I was speaking to her and Iwas just telling her, like, you
know, this is me barely knowinganything at the time, but I felt
this message coming from me to tellher this is the age of Aquarius,
So this is a time for sovereignty. This is a time for like you're
supposed to be within you and learnabout yourself and do for you. And

(01:39:09):
now I understand that you've been doingfor people everybody else, and this also
is the age of like healing forthe world and stuff like that. But
understand that doing for you is what'shealing the world. And so everybody else
is supposed to be doing for themselvesand living in the right You're living in
their true self. And then thereality of self helps everybody else to know

(01:39:32):
how to deal with each other.Right, So, like, if you're
not being fake and you're being anauthentic self, or even not even being
fake, if you're not truly beingyourself, it's kind of like lying.
Right. So now the reality thatyou're giving off is not the reality to
me, So how I'm reacting toyou, and the reality you're giving off

(01:39:56):
isn't necessarily attractive or or grasping foryou, because that's not what you really
need or with who you really are. But I'm only reacting to what you're
giving off. So when you're gettingsomething back from me that's not really meant
for you, it doesn't feel comfortable. And so now we do this,
everybody's doing this, and it goesdown this road where now we're all confused

(01:40:16):
in spaces that we're not supposed tobe with, people that we're not supposed
to be with. But me someoneI'm telling her, like, you know,
doing things for yourself is going tohelp bring people that's meant to be
in that space, people that respectthis space, and also people that love
you in this space, and they'regoing to feel that love back because you're
being exactly who you are. Yeah, that's my view of like how I'm

(01:40:39):
heal in the world. Yeah.I love that you said that, because
there's been an ongoing thing of likeso much desire to change the world and
seeking that change externally. And Iconstantly am like, no, no,
no, Like that's a beautiful ideaand also an unrealistic one. You know,

(01:41:01):
my perception and my perspective is youwant to change the world to change
yourself. Because if I were tocome up to anybody and be like,
hey, that's shitty, don't dothat, you think they're going to change,
Like, absolutely not. What happensis, let me figure out my
shit, figure out how to healthat, so I can lead by example.

(01:41:26):
And that's what resonates with people.People don't do what I say.
They take heed of what I'm doingbecause they're like, man, you know,
I like that, she did itlike that, or she seems really
calm, or I like and thenif they have questions they can ask.
But again, I don't believe incoincidence at all. So the fact that
we are in a time right nowwhere there are so many healers, so

(01:41:49):
many readers, so many mystics youknow, coming forward showcasing their gifts,
providing that facilitation for those who areopen to it. So many people seeking
therapy or any sort of guidance ortherapeutic counseling to help them heal generational trauma,
to help them break away from thepatterns that I've been passed down.

(01:42:11):
That is all indicative of the changesthat we're seeing, an indicative of how
our generation is really steadfast on whateverthis mission is. That we may not
even consciously remember of changing shit upfrom how it's always been and from what
you said so many of our parentsand the generations before again that pissy and
age sacrifice. They did so muchin the name of sacrifice because that's what

(01:42:34):
they felt they had to do.So to switch that now to focus on
myself can seem selfish, and it'sconstantly reframing that of how can I serve
anybody if I'm not serving myself.I am pouring from an empty cup.
So it's not selfish. I serveyou by serving me first so that I
can show up in that way.So I love that you noted that,

(01:42:57):
because again, I think we needto remind people it's not selfish to focus
on yourself, to really spend timewith yourself, to set those boundaries that
might be uncomfortable for those closest toyou, but remembering like, boundaries are
not me trying to create distance inthis relationship. This is how we can
salvage and deepen the relationship. Theseare the needs I have in order for
this to continue. Instead of seeingit as like, oh, she doesn't

(01:43:20):
want me around now, or shedoesn't want to talk to me, no,
I do. Otherwise I would justcut you off like that's no thing
for me. So it's just likeremembering like when I pour into myself,
I am pouring into you automatically becauseI'm making it a note and like a
priority to be the person I knowI can be in order to show up

(01:43:44):
for you the way that you deserveand in the way that I deserve,
because I deserve to experience myself atmy highest potential and I deserve to see
what that looks like. Right youactually said what I forgot that the boundaries
aren't meant to like push you away. That's what I was going to get.
YEA that within being like yourself andthe sovereignty and letting people know like,
oh, this is where my mybubble closes. Right this as far
as my bubble expands, is notto let you know like I don't fuck

(01:44:08):
with you. Is let you knowwho exactly where I am, So now
you know how to go about fuckingwith me, right whatever, in whatever
capacity you need to. So likethat boundary aspect, people like yeah,
people look at it like you know, it's spreading this, and it's like
no, it's actually giving giving youthe viewpoint of how close or not how

(01:44:29):
close you can get to me,but how to get to me very closely.
Because now you know how to maneuverin this space with me, but
me being honest with you about myboundary. Yeah. Absolutely, But oh
so we wanted to hear like whatis what is? What do? Yeah?
Oh my gosh, that feels likea lifetime ago that we're talking about
that. I believe everything that youwere saying. I resonate with a lot

(01:44:50):
of what you were saying. Andagain I think it's it's just again,
the healing work that we're doing,I think is deepening our empathy. And
by deepening our empathy, we're ableto see someone else's perspective as opposed to
putting the blinders on and only seeingour view of the story. And by

(01:45:14):
doing that, that's what's really cultivatingthe seeds of the union and the way
that humanity is moving forward where we'renot just considering ourselves. And so again
that's why I also feel like we'rein that transition stage, because we are
literally the builders of the foundation forwhat could be, the golden age,
you know, for what could be. And I don't necessarily say that in

(01:45:38):
a way of like a utopia.I don't think that exists. There's always
going to be that polarity in thatduality. That's what makes things go around.
But again, it doesn't have tobe what it's always been. And
I think by showing up individually inthe way that we are feeling called to
show up, and especially when weare given platforms to share these messages and

(01:45:59):
have these conversations as I think,it's our duty and responsibility Capricorn to take
that, you know, seriously,And so for me, the Age of
Aquarius is really just about what isit that's keeping you stuck in a pattern
or in an understanding of yourself thatprevents you from really allowing the world to

(01:46:23):
show you how beautiful it can be, or how beautiful humanity can be,
or how connected we are. AndI think the vulnerability that's coming up so
much and sharing these stories and havingthe confidence to share these stories. And
I always talk about this even withmy books. You are not exclusive to
your experiences in your pain. Thedetails might be different because they're catered to

(01:46:45):
you, but the feelings that youharbor, the fears that you have,
there's someone else who is feeling theexact same thing. But it can be
such an isolated experience because we're soscared to share those parts of ourselves.
And one of my duties in thislifetime is to be that person because I'm
not afraid of sharing the things thatmake me feel ashamed or that i'm not

(01:47:09):
proud of, because I know I'mnot the only person who's experienced that.
So again, I feel like we'reall sort of given these callings, if
you will, or whatever it isthat we feel drawn to do, so
that we can't usher in these nextgenerations that are going to be more open
and empathetic and sympathetic and vulnerable tocreate that sort of collective camaraderie that we're

(01:47:33):
possible of doing but just haven't yet, you know. So I think it's
beautiful, you know. And ifI've created a contract to come back and
see it through, then great,we'll see what happens. But it just
makes me feel good regardless to knowthat I played a role in that,
you know. And maybe that's myego coming through a little bit, but

(01:47:54):
I don't care. I like thatI am able to show up in this
lifetime the way that I am,and I know the impact that I'm leaving
on people, and that makes mereally happy because I know that people leave
better than how they came in Whenit comes to a session with me.
Yeah, and that's a very profoundand powerful thing that I was gifted with.
And I don't take that lightly.So I could damn near cry right

(01:48:14):
now. Like what like I'm feelingit. I'm I'm all of in the
feeling all the time. I reallyearned the fourth house. Like is that
what that is? Girl? It'san expander on your emotions and your person.
It's like having cancer Jupiter and myTaurus moon in the fifth house.
Oh oh oh, okay, comethrough. Yeah, I'm a mom,

(01:48:39):
you know, like I've never givenbirth, but I've been a mother,
nurture sustained. Yeah, yeah,come cry to me once that chron archetype
guide other the Capricorn part of youto guide others through their trauma. Yeah,
definitely, you know you shifted andtransmitting. So the one thing one
of the main things I could takeaway from this, and I can't wait

(01:49:00):
to, you know, regurgitate thisin a in a in a way that's
like ingestion ingestible to the people Iknow. Um, But one of the
main takeaways I feel like I haveis that the spiritual tool of astrology is
much different than that of like sageor polsono or like or or even um
um plant based like medicine and stufflike that. Is that this is not

(01:49:25):
meant to change you or define you. It just is like you said,
it's the weather and or a roadmapor information rights It's literally just information.
And I really do resonate with theweather example really well, where I can
just see it and know how tomaneuver with whatever is there. And I

(01:49:45):
think, um, it's it's entirelyimportant to have that understanding because um it's
popular to be like, oh,you're an aquarius, or you're you're not
really attached, or you're a tourist, so like you're stubborn. It's like,
okay, let's have a deeper understandingof this, because knowing having a

(01:50:06):
deeper understanding of it will help youto navigate for yourself. And so I
think that's why I wanted to dothis and have it, um have that
being known that astrology is a differenttype of spiritual tools, not something you
pick up and put down at thetime that you may need or may not
need it. So thank you,thank you for providing the platform and have

(01:50:30):
this conversation. Yeah, I reallywant to let you know I love y'all,
y'all, um, So right nowI want to give y'all the space
to let somebody that you know,or something or anything actually that you love
that you want to send love andto vent about literally anything you want.

(01:50:53):
Like, this is your space andtime to do it. Whoever wants to
go first, ladies first. Seethis is where I'm going to start to
cry. Oh no, all themfirst. What's been coming up for me

(01:51:16):
is a lot of betrayal in thepain that I've held onto because of that,
because That's been a constant theme inmy life with people I trusted,
people I love, people who weremeant to protect me, you know,
And I've carried that with me fora really long time, to the point

(01:51:40):
where like I didn't even believe someonewouldn't, you know, Like that just
became a pattern within my shadow ofyou know, everyone's gonna betray me,
so I just got to find outtwo steps ahead to make it hurt less,
which never happens. So the loveI want to send out because of
that is one love to my pastselves when I betrayed myself, you know,

(01:52:08):
in certain situations. But I reallywant to send love to like the
people who hurt me because I thinkI've been carrying that for a really long
time and I'm just ready to letit go. So I think there's a
part of me that's recognizing that it'sit hurts to be on the receiving end

(01:52:30):
of that treatment. But that personmust have been in a lot of pain
to hurt someone like me, andI'm sure they're carrying that too, So
h not to you making my asssweat. So yes, my event is
being tired of carrying that weight orfeeling like I need to to protect myself

(01:52:56):
when it's not necessary, and thensending love to those who felt the need
to do that, including myself,so that I can just let it go
and find that compassion and create spacefor new energy and a new story.
Beautiful, thank you time to sharewith us. Well, you guys created

(01:53:21):
a very safe space. And againI'm happy that this is happening with masculine
energy because people need to see that, you know, people need to see
the safety that can be cultivated umwithin that. So thank you both for
creating that space for me. Yeah, we're happy to Danny, please send

(01:53:45):
love to somebody in vent however youlike for a vent. I don't think
I have anything to vent about.Um, I think I'm super I'm just
feeling gratitude for being here, forgettingto meet Bruna, forgetting to hang more
with you. Orlando, my question. It feels very kismant that we were
put on the same podcast. SoI feel like I want to send you
a lot of love girl, likeyou know, just I want to be

(01:54:08):
your friend, like hang more afterthis. Orlando's same with you. I'd
love more opportunity to connect. AndI guess it's not a vent, but
it's maybe a shout out. There'sto both of my exes because I love
them both very, very dearly,and I think a major part of my
ability to go chase my authentic lifein Peru, you know, to go

(01:54:32):
study the Ayahuasca shamanism as a resultof both of those relationships having not come
to fruition in the way that theywere that I was hoping that they would.
And Age of Aquarius, like Aquariusis the sign of being. Although
it's part of the collective, itoftentimes feels very singular as well. I've
got Saturn and Aquarius and my northnote in the eleventh house, so I'm

(01:54:54):
trying to develop Aquarius within myself andmaybe some of that inner trickster as well
well. But just my event isgratitude. I'm super grateful for this life
and to have given all my thingsaway in preparation for a big spiritual pilgrimage.
And then the second one is sendinglove. Yeah, so I'd like

(01:55:17):
to send love to the future versionof myself and to the version of myself
right now because I'm in the processof healing some really intense generational trauma that
I'm hoping to deal with in Peruthat has to do with like eating disorder
stuff, self image stuff, bodydysmorphia, and ego and self esteem problems.

(01:55:38):
So I want to, like formyself as I'm in Peru and working
with some master plants and the supervisionof a shaman to actually heal this generational
trauma so I can be a fullyclear channel for the men, women,
people that are coming to me toheal maybe similar things or or not.

(01:55:59):
But that's my prayer. I guessI want to be fully healed myself so
that I can fully heal others I'mworking on. And you wouldn't be the
first one today. Oh my gosh, this is beautiful. Um, please
