    Closing Cycles, Opening Doors and Honoring Those Who Led The Way

    Title Options Primary Recommendation: "When Sacral Beings Are Done, We're Done: Closing the 2020 Cycle and Giving Flowers to the People Who Walked First" Episode Description: Whatever started for you between February and April 2020—a job going remote, sitting across from your husband realizing you hate him, deciding you don't trust the news, starting a YouTube makeup series that blew up, getting discovered on TikTok... and an over all "Aries" cycle is closing now or at least transmuting. Doors are shutting. New doors are opening. And this episode is about honoring the people who walked so others could run. Like Kristi Yamaguchi, who didn't get the endorsement deals or rah-rah when she won because people "didn't like it"—but paved the way for the half-Asian figure skater winning gold now and getting celebrated. The changing of the guard. Saturn in Aries. New rules. Why you don't own any platform except your podcast/website/email list, invisible rules we're dancing around that will be irrelevant in 2028, renting snowshoes from the library for free, and why this all started in the snow on 1/13 and we're closing the loop at 113 episodes. This episode covers: Why sacral beings can't push when the energy is doneThe February-April 2020 cycle closing (pandemic realizations, life shifts)Giving flowers to Kristi Yamaguchi (didn't get credit, paved the way)The new figure skater (came back on her own terms, winning gold)Substack RSS feed tip: import all at once, won't auto-updateYou don't own any platforms (Amazon, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube)Invisible rules from 2020 that will be irrelevant by 2028Closing doors, opening doors (Saturn in Aries)Starting in the snow on 1/13, ending at 113 episodesPerfect for: People who had major life shifts during the 2020 pandemicSacral beings learning to honor when the energy is doneAnyone ready to close old cycles and open new doorsListeners who want to honor the people who walked firstKeywords: sacral beings energy done, February 2020 cycle closing, pandemic realizations, giving flowers to pioneers, invisible rules irrelevant 2028, Substack RSS feed tip, you don't own platforms, Saturn in Aries new rules, closing doors opening doors, library resources, snowshoeing, changing of the guard

    Same Wine in a Different Bottle, a Pebble in my Shoe and Why Everything Feels Fake AF

    A spontaneous Wednesday transmission that was never supposed to happen. The moon is in Pisces. The energy is eerie. And she's angry. This is the unfiltered rant about men in backwards caps presenting "frameworks" like they invented something new, women's conferences that claim to be different but are just the same bro marketing repackaged with "hey girly" energy, and speaker applications that ask for social media follower counts. It's about being a one-line investigator in human design (perpetually curious, never satisfied, always getting nuggets), having an undefined throat that says what everyone else is thinking, and having a defined heart that gives you the confidence to actually say it—which makes you a leper. Also: why hazelnut Chobani tastes the same as sweet Chantilly (it's all emotional support creamer), why consumer packaged goods companies own all the indie brands you think are saving the environment, and why the brand name "Kumar" isn't even her name and gives her a pebble in her shoe every time she sees it. Four years ago, a spiritualist told her "you're simply Sunita." And that's the truth. This is the final transmission before going into the cave for March, April, May, June. Season 4 is wrapping. She'll be back when she's back. This episode covers: Men presenting branding frameworks like they hung the moonWomen's conferences: same wine, different bottle (not new energy)One-line investigator in human design (curiosity, market research, getting nuggets)Undefined throat + defined heart = saying what others think (and being shunned for it)Why CPG companies own all the "indie" brandsEmotional support creamer (hazelnut Chobani vs. sweet Chantilly)The brand name Kumar isn't her real name (and it bothers her)A spiritualist's prediction 4 years ago: "You're simply Sunita"Moon in Pisces, eerie energyWrapping Season 4, going into cave mode March-JuneReevaluating everything as a business ownerPerfect for: People tired of the same business coaching repackagedWomen exhausted by "girly" empowerment conferencesAnyone who's ever wanted to blow up their brandListeners who appreciate unfiltered truth-tellingBusiness owners reevaluating everything right nowKeywords: men in business coaching, women's conferences same energy, simply Sunita, undefined throat defined heart, one line investigator human design, market research curiosity, brand name identity, wrapping Season 4, going into cave, Moon in Pisces, bro marketing repackaged, speaking events follower counts, reevaluating business, truth telling heretic Mentioned in This Episode: Podcast with Daniela on Tapped In Conversations (first episode of Clear Signal, on Substack with video)Clear Signal episode dropping Friday (was supposed to be Tuesday for new moon)Final transmission dropping SundayEmail list transmissionGoing into cave mode: March, April, May, JuneSpiritualist reading 4 years agoConsumer packaged goods background (2022-2023 era)Graduate school specialized in brand managementMarket research firm she used to runChobani hazelnut vs. sweet Chantilly creamer

    Entrepreneurship Is Improv (And Why I'm Recording This in a Panera Parking Lot)

    A spontaneous episode recorded on Moon's day, the night before the Aquarius new moon/solar eclipse, in a Panera parking lot—possibly one spot away from where the Mercury retrograde in Sag transmission was recorded in November. This is the first voice memo ever recorded on the new phone (which isn't that new—it's an old model that someone said was the best phone, and sometimes the new technology isn't worth the money). This episode covers AI overwhelm (Claude AI being down for days, Zoom features nobody asked for, transcription agents joining client calls uninvited), why entrepreneurship is improv, and why the episode that was supposed to drop Sunday (the Magician card, episode 1) is now dropping Friday instead—making it the High Priestess card (episode 2) on Venus's day. Also: why this podcast was built by Uranus (not Saturn), why women wore shoulder pads in blazers when Saturn was last in Aries in 1999, why the best comedy characters come from real life (Linda Richmond was Mike Myers' first mother-in-law), why podcasting is a huge pain in the ass, and why SEO optimization is happening now for the future—not for current listeners. New rules, new energy, new year. We're holding hands and pretending this episode doesn't exist in the numbering system. Episode 23 drops Friday. It's the High Priestess. Moon and Sun dancing together. Masculine and feminine. Inspired action and intuition. That's what an eclipse is. This episode covers: First voice memo on the new phoneAI overwhelm: Claude AI down, Zoom shenanigans, transcription agentsWhy entrepreneurship is improv (and this podcast is unscripted reps)Episode numbering meta: was going to be Magician (1), now High Priestess (2)Why Friday is Venus's day (and why that matters for the High Priestess)Aquarius new moon/solar eclipse (tomorrow at 7 AM)Saturn in Aries: new rules (not shoulder pads this time)Undefined throat in human design = unscripted on the flyWhy this podcast was built by Uranus, not SaturnSEO optimization for future fossilization of 100+ episodesImprov classes, Mike Myers, Linda Richmond, real-life charactersSitting in the same parking spot as the Mercury retrograde transmissionMoon's day before New Year of the Horse energyPerfect for: People who appreciate meta, behind-the-scenes spontaneityAnyone overwhelmed by AI features they didn't ask forEntrepreneurs who understand business is improvListeners who followed the Tarot card numbering systemAnyone ready for new rules with Saturn in AriesKeywords: first voice memo new phone, AI overwhelm, entrepreneurship as improv, High Priestess card, Aquarius new moon eclipse, Saturn in Aries new rules, undefined throat human design, unscripted podcast, Moon's day, Venus day Friday, SEO optimization, Uranus built podcast, improv comedy, spontaneous transmission Mentioned in This Episode: Mercury retrograde in Sag (November 9 transmission, recorded in same parking spot)Episode dropping Friday: Magician/manifestation (now High Priestess card)Aquarius new moon/solar eclipse (Tuesday 7 AM)Saturn in Aries (entered 2/13)Virgo full moon (when this podcast started 4 years ago)Leo full moon August 2022 (first episode on main feed)Claude AI going down for daysMike Myers' Linda Richmond character (based on first mother-in-law)Dua Lipa "New Rules"Reorient session (entry-level work, link in show notes)

    Episode 22, Infinity and Why I'm Moving Slow as F*ck Until Spring Equinox

    ⁠FUTURE SPECIFIC EMAIL LIST Episode Description: What's the first Saturday with Saturn in Aries actually feel like? For some, it's "you're the horse, let's go!" energy. For others, it's the opposite—a pull to move slowly, cautiously, and trust embodied intuition over external pressure. This is the raw, unscripted Saturday transmission about not listening to your intuition and what happens when you logic your way out of what your body is telling you. It's about the difference between collective energy ("you're the horse!") and personal transits (Saturn squaring your Mars in Cancer means moving with the brakes on). It's about tribal wiring in human design—the instinct to scratch backs, build dams, operate from innate patterns we don't question in animals but dismiss in ourselves. It's about preparing for Pluto at 5 degrees (March 20, Spring Equinox) instead of rushing now just because the calendar says so. Also: Episode 22 as the Saturn number (infinity, karma, reincarnation). The end of Season 4. Taking a break until it's time. And the message that landed for many: They're going to think it anyway. So what are you going to do? This episode covers: First Saturday with Saturn in Aries (but moving slowly until Spring Equinox)Not listening to intuition this week and regretting itEmbodied intuition (cancer, felt sense) vs paranoia vs logic"You're the horse" collective energy vs personal transitsSaturn Neptune squaring Mars in Cancer (taking action with the brakes on)Preparing for Pluto at 5 degrees (March 20, major personal transit)Tribal wiring in human design (beavers building dams = instinct)Taking a break from Clear Signal podcastEpisode 22 = Saturn = infinity = karma = end of Season 4The message: "They're going to think it anyway"Aries and Aquarius as pioneers (go first, be okay being misunderstood)Moving slowly vs external pressure to run fastPerfect for: Anyone feeling pressure to "go" when their body says "slow down"People learning to trust embodied intuition over logicBusiness owners tired of external timelines dictating their paceHuman design nerds who understand tribal circuitryListeners ready for the heretic's message over mass appealKeywords: Saturn in Aries, trusting intuition, moving slowly, embodied intuition, tribal wiring human design, Pluto 5 degrees, Spring Equinox, episode 22 tarot, infinity Saturn, karma reincarnation, they're going to think it anyway, pioneer energy, taking action with brakes on, personal transits vs collective energy.

    The Last Time Mercury Went Retrograde in Pisces, We Got Lockdowns and Misinformation—Now What?

    What happened the last time Mercury went retrograde in Pisces? Mid-February to mid-March 2020. Lockdowns. Misinformation. People couldn't leave their homes. Toilet paper shortages. Surrender because you had no choice. Now we're entering another Mercury retrograde in Pisces cycle—and nobody's talking about what's coming. This episode is about the patterns astrology reveals when you know how to read them. It's about the existential crisis AI is about to trigger when people realize their professions don't exist anymore and their entire identity (Aries) was wrapped up in what they did for work (Saturn). It's about the chasm between 1996-2026 that can never be replicated—from pre-internet to AI—and why people born in that window understand something nobody else will. It's about Uranus forcing the uplevel, human design gate 44 (smelling talent), and why 2020's "return to work" policies were actually disguised layoffs to avoid vesting stock options. Also: Perimenopause brain fog, Mercury retrograde privilege (being born with it), the delulu vs. salulu of Neptune, and why professionalism as we knew it is over. This episode covers: Mercury retrograde in Pisces last cycle: mid-Feb to mid-March 2020 (COVID lockdowns)The AI existential crisis nobody's discussing (identity wrapped in profession)What happens when your job doesn't exist anymore and you don't know who you areUranus forcing upleveling and systematizing creative chaosHuman design gate 44: the ability to smell talentThe 1996-2026 chasm (pre-internet to AI) that can't be replicatedWhy "return to work" policies were disguised layoffs (vesting stock options)Misinformation, delusion (Neptune), and surrender (Pisces)Being born with Mercury retrograde = thriving during retrogradeProfessionalism and leadership being redefined in real-timeSaturn Neptune conjunction: entering new territory (no precedent since 1989)Intuition and jumping (moving to California on in early 2011 when Uranus entered Aries)Perfect for: Anyone who lived through 2020 and feels the parallelBusiness owners preparing for AI-driven upheavalPeople whose identity is wrapped up in their professionListeners who understand astrology reveals patternsAnyone navigating the death of "professionalism" as a conceptKeywords: Mercury retrograde Pisces, 2020 parallels, AI existential crisis, professional identity, Uranus upleveling, human design gate 44, Saturn Neptune conjunction, COVID lockdown astrology, misinformation cycles, redefining professionalism, existential crisis Aries, 1996-2026 chasm, internet to AI, intuition Mentioned in This Episode: Mercury retrograde shadow begins tomorrowMercury retrograde in Pisces (mid-Feb to mid-March 2020 parallel)Eclipse readings (expire 6 PM EST Friday 2/13)Deep dive on Mercury Pisces retrograde (coming next week for email list)Rick Rubin (creative devotion)Human design gate 44 (conscious 2-line Uranus)Saturn Neptune conjunction (new territory since 1989)Uranus in Taurus (2020) - work from home, nature, Silicon Valley exodusCalifornia labor laws and return-to-work disguised layoffs

    Collective Timekeeper, Precision Astrologer, Teacher: Why I Stay in My Lanes

    What's the difference between a collective timekeeper and a personal astrologer? Why is "being interested in astrology" not the same as being an astrologer? And why does mixing the two create muddy, affirmational b******t that serves no one? This is the boundary-setting episode. It's short, direct, and unapologetic about what this work is and what it isn't. There are three distinct things happening here: (1) precision intuitive astrology for business owners and entrepreneurs (private, paid, individual charts), (2) collective timekeeping and futurism (public, mundane astrology, the wake-up call), and (3) teaching (universal principles anyone can learn). These are not the same. And placating to the masses with feel-good horoscopes for clicks? Not happening here. If you've ever wondered why some astrology feels like fortune cookies and other astrology feels like soul surgery, this episode explains the difference. Also: Saturn entering Aries on Friday the 13th, why 2/20 is historically significant, and the heretic's role in refusing to compromise integrity for money. This episode covers: Being interested in astrology vs. being an astrologer The heretic's message (5/1 human design)Saturn entering Aries on Friday the 13th (Venus's day)Pluto in the 11th house: transformation of the collectiveMercury Retrograde as teaching vs. personal interpretationWhy refusing the middle ground is an integrity issue, not heroismPerfect for: Business owners who want astrology as strategy, not affirmationAnyone who can tell the difference between teaching and panderingListeners ready for the heretic's message over mass appealThose who understand boundaries are a service, not gatekeepingKeywords: mundane astrology, collective timekeeper, precision intuitive astrology, Saturn in Aries, heretic message, affirmational astrology, astrology teaching, being an astrologer, Pluto in 11th house, Venus day Friday 13th, business astrology, soul path, integrity over money, refusing middle ground Mentioned in This Episode: Saturn and Neptune joining at 0 degrees AriesFriday the 13th (Venus's day)2/20 historical significancePluto in the 11th house (collective transformation)

    1996 to 2026: Why We Are Partying Like its 1999 All Over Again

    🔥Eclipse Readings⁠ ($111, Expire 2/13) DARK MATTERS EMAIL LIST What happens when Jupiter's scattered arrows meet Saturn's demand for foundation? This episode is the 3-2-1 countdown to Saturn entering Aries on Friday the 13th—and it's about what you can't see yet but is being built underneath. This is the meta-conversation about creative chaos vs. structural integrity. Jupiter in Aries gave us arrows everywhere—bright, shiny, optimistic, not strategic. Now Saturn comes in to consolidate, build the foundation, and question what "professionalism" even means anymore. It's about credit scores as survival tools in broken systems, being xennial (the generation that straddled analog childhood and digital workforce), and why the small unsexy things—like keeping a credit card open just to charge a sandwich every six months—actually determine your ability to take creative risks. Also: Why we dismiss foundation work in favor of visible progress. Why 1997's Saturn in Aries (internet/dotcom boom) parallels 2026's Saturn in Aries (AI explosion). Why Uranus stationing brings massive upleveling. And why "professionalism" as a concept needs to die so silliness and authenticity can lead. This episode covers: The 3-2-1 countdown to Saturn entering Aries (Friday the 13th)Jupiter in Aries (scattered arrows, creativity) vs Saturn in Aries (consolidation, foundation)Why we don't give foundation work enough credit in societyCredit scores, systems, and playing the game on your own termsBeing xennial: analog childhood, digital workforce (born 1977-1983)Mercury entering Pisces retrograde shadowQuestioning "professionalism" and why silliness is the futureUranus stationing and major upleveling happening behind the scenesThe parallel between 1997 Saturn in Aries (internet) and 2026 (AI)Human design gate 25 and bridging energy shiftsWhy visible progress only exists because of invisible foundation workPerfect for: Entrepreneurs who scatter creatively and then need to consolidateAnyone born 1977-1983 (xennials) navigating analog/digital identityPeople who've been building foundations underground while others flash resultsAnyone questioning what "professional" even means anymoreListeners tracking Saturn's return to Aries after 30 yearsKeywords: Saturn in Aries, Jupiter in Aries, foundation building, upleveling, Mercury retrograde shadow, xennial generation, credit scores, professionalism, Uranus stationing, 1997 parallels, AI advancement, human design gate 25, creative consolidation, systems of society, invisible work Mentioned in This Episode: Eclipse readings (expire 6 PM EST Friday the 13th)Mercury entering Pisces retrograde shadow (Thursday)Saturn entering Aries (Friday the 13th)Neptune Saturn conjunctionYear of the Horse beginning2-22 portalHuman design gate 25
