    Astrology + Chakras: The Chakra Connected to Your Rising Sign + Chakra Activating Ritual (Part 2)

    Send us Fan Mail The planet ruling your rising sign is tied to a specific chakra in your body. When that chakra goes quiet, the pattern shows up as something you can actually name: pelvic tension, a heart that won't fully open, a fog that has no clear source. In Part 2 of this two-part series, Kamela Celeste closes out the chart ruler and chakra breakdown with the six remaining rising signs, and closes the episode with a chakra activating ritual you can move through chakra by chakra. This episode covers Taurus rising (Venus), Libra rising (Venus), Cancer rising (the Moon), Capricorn rising (Saturn), Pisces rising (Neptune), and Scorpio rising (Pluto). Part 1 covers Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo and Aquarius rising. Recorded ahead of Kamela's trip to Oxford to study at the Faculty of Astrological Studies. What You'll Learn How Taurus rising holds pleasure and productivity in the sacral, and what pelvic tension is actually asking forWhy Libra rising channels connection through the heart, and how self-doubt shows up as chest tightnessHow Cancer rising's Moon rulership ties emotional safety to the heart and sacral togetherWhy Capricorn rising's root chakra can trade safety for rigidity, and how hyper-independence lands in the low back and kneesHow Pisces rising's Neptune rulership spans the third eye and crown, and what spiritual exhaustion actually feels likeWhy Scorpio rising's Pluto rulership holds transformation in the root and sacral, and what control patterns are protectingA guided chakra activating ritual that moves through all seven centers with affirmationsTimestamps 00:00 Chart rulers and chakras: Part 2 overview 00:43 Series recap and how to use this episode 02:07 Affirmation pull: staying open to sudden possibilities, plus an Oxford update 05:20 Rising sign vs. sun sign: how to follow along 06:35 Taurus and Libra rising: Venus, sacral and heart 08:49 Cancer rising: the Moon, heart and sacral 10:00 Capricorn rising: Saturn, root chakra 13:02 Pisces rising: Neptune, third eye and crown 14:23 Scorpio rising: Pluto, root and sacral 16:07 Chakra activating ritual: tapping through all seven centers 21:18 Closing and where to find me Support the show If you've enjoyed todays episode it would mean the world to me if you rate the show as it helps more humans just like you find and listen to it.

    Astrology + Chakras: The Chakra Connected to Your Rising Sign and How to Balance It (Part 1)

    Send us Fan Mail The planet that rules your rising sign is connected to a specific chakra in your body. When that chakra is out of balance or the body is dysregulated, it shows up in a pattern you can actually feel: jaw tension, brain fog, a voice that won't come out, exhaustion that doesn't match your effort. In Part 1 of this two-part series, Kamela Celeste breaks down what a chart ruler is, where the chakra system actually comes from, and how six rising signs can recognize dysregulation in the body and come back to center. This episode covers Aries rising (Mars), Leo rising (the Sun), Sagittarius rising (Jupiter), Gemini and Virgo rising (Mercury), and Aquarius rising (Uranus). Part 2 will cover the remaining signs. What You'll Learn What a chart ruler is, and why your rising sign matters more than your sun sign for predictive astrologyWhere the chakra system actually originated, and where the planet-to-chakra pairings came fromWhy Aries rising holds suppressed fire in the jaw and gut, and what moves itHow Leo rising burnout shows up as imposter syndrome rather than sadnessWhy Sagittarius rising expansion scatters the sacral and fogs the third eyeHow Mercury shows up differently for Gemini rising (throat) than Virgo rising (solar plexus and gut)Why Aquarius rising overstimulation lands in the throat and the nervous system at the same timeSpecific somatic interventions and an anchor affirmation for each rising signA short candle release ritual to close  01:00 Where the show has been, and where it's going  02:20 Global listener shout-out: top countries and cities  03:50 Leo season and the August eclipses  04:40 Affirmation card pull  07:10 What is a chart ruler?  09:30 Modern rulership, and why everything here is rising-sign based  10:30 The history of the chakra system, and how it met astrology  12:20 Aries rising  15:20 Leo rising  17:20 Sagittarius rising  19:30 Gemini and Virgo rising  22:30 Aquarius rising  24:00 Candle release ritual  27:00 Closing and Substack invitation Mentioned in This Episode Total Solar Eclipse in Leo, August 12th (full episode coming)Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, August 28th (full episode coming)Magical Messages oracle deck (affirmation pull)Part 2 of this series: Taurus, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn, Pisces and Scorpio risingSupport the show If you've enjoyed todays episode it would mean the world to me if you rate the show as it helps more humans just like you find and listen to it.

    Calling Back Your Energy | A Guided Meditation for Burnout and Giving Too Much of Yourself Away

    Send us Fan Mail This is a gentle guided meditation for when you feel depleted, scattered, and pulled in too many directions to hear yourself think. A practice for calling your energy back when you've given too much of it away. Releasing this under a full moon in Aquarius, and full moons are always about the same few things: releasing, reflecting, illuminating. This one sits beside Pluto, the planet of depth and personal power, which makes it a potent moment to notice how much of your energy has been handed out. To the people who need you, the roles you hold, the list of tasks that never quite ends. We settle the nervous system first, all the buzz and residue of the day, using slow, structured breath. Then we gather your scattered light back to you, one thread at a time, until your own center feels fuller and brighter. This one is for you if: - You've been feeling pulled in a dozen directions at once - You give so much of yourself away that there's little left for you - You want a few minutes that ask nothing of you except to receive Find a place where you can be still, let your shoulders come down, and let's call your energy back together. 00:00 Welcome and intention 01:04 Full moon context 01:54 Creative block update 03:11 Astrology and theme 04:43 Meditation: Settle in and breathe 14:14 Return and closing Support the show If you've enjoyed todays episode it would mean the world to me if you rate the show as it helps more humans just like you find and listen to it.

Together we look back at the past few weeks of Mercury retrograde and eclipse energy, considering the lessons, dreams, miscommunications, and fated encounters that may have surfaced. Pulling from the Alman Oracle deck, two cards appear for the collective: Blessed Day and Willpower — a reminder that luck, transformation, and disciplined follow-through are available to us as we prepare for this next chapter. You’ll also hear about: •Pisces New Moon themes of intuition, surrender, emotional clarity, and closure •how to look at where Pisces lives in your birth chart •questions to help you reflect on what this season revealed •simple mind, body, and spirit practices to ground yourself before the astrological new year •a short closing breath ritual and one-word intention practice This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen to your inner wisdom, and give yourself space to integrate what the last few weeks have revealed before stepping fully into the new cycle ahead. ___________________________________________ 00:00 Cosmic Shift Ahead 00:30 Show Intro 01:16 Astrology Week Overview 03:58 Ritual Plan Setup 05:42 Oracle Cards Pulled 09:02 Blessed Day Meaning 11:13 Willpower And Luck 15:07 Pisces New Moon Themes 21:59 Ground Before Aries 26:39 Mind Body Spirit Support 28:53 New Moon Ritual Ideas 32:57 Grounding Practice 38:58 Closing And Next Steps Support the show If you've enjoyed todays episode it would mean the world to me if you rate the show as it helps more humans just like you find and listen to it.
