    Welcome to Astrology 101: Let's Start With Your Sun Sign

    You know your Sun sign, but do you really understand what it means? Welcome to Astrology 101! In this episode we're going back to the basics and starting with one of the most familiar parts of your birth chart: your Sun sign. Your Sun sign represents an important part of who you are, your core identity, your vitality, and the unique gifts you're here to express. But astrology is about so much more than your daily horoscope, and understanding your Sun sign is just the beginning. We'll explore the 12 zodiac signs and their archetypes, talk about what your Sun sign reveals about you, and look at how its house placement adds another layer of meaning. I'll also introduce the Big Three: your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs, and share my "ice cream analogy" to help make your birth chart feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more approachable. Think of this episode as your starting point. We're building a foundation for understanding astrology one piece at a time, so you can begin exploring your own chart with more curiosity, confidence, and self-awareness. Whether you're brand-new to astrology or ready to revisit the basics, let's start here, with your Sun sign, and begin getting to know your cosmic blueprint.

    Moon Day Motivation: What Are You Really Valuing? Venus Retrograde + Libra Season

    What are you truly valuing in your life right now? And are your relationships, daily choices, and future goals reflecting the person you're becoming? In this episode of the Cosmic Glow Up Podcast, we're diving into Libra Season, Venus retrograde, and the upcoming Mercury retrograde to explore what happens when we stop focusing on what looks good on the surface and start getting honest about what feels right underneath it all. Inspired by a weekend of community, connection, and mindset work, I'm sharing personal reflections on abundance, subconscious conditioning, relationships, and the power of rethinking the stories we tell ourselves about love, money, and self-worth. ✨ In this episode, we'll explore: Libra Season & the 10/10/10 Portal: Fresh beginnings, collaboration, and setting intentions for the life you're creating. Venus Retrograde: Reassessing love, self-worth, money, beauty, pleasure, and what you truly value. Mercury Retrograde: Revisiting conversations, questioning assumptions, and creating space for greater emotional honesty and clarity. Abundance & Mindset: How childhood conditioning and old beliefs can shape your relationship with money, success, and your future. Your Scorpio House by Rising Sign: Discover the area of life being highlighted by Venus and Mercury retrograde in Scorpio. Moon Day Motivation: A collective card reading featuring "You Are Good Enough" and a reminder to trust your worth, commit to your vision, and stay open to new possibilities. 🌙 Find Your Rising Sign Listen for your Rising Sign to explore how this retrograde energy may be inviting you to reflect, reassess, and realign. 18:35 – Scorpio Rising: Identity, self-image, personal boundaries, and becoming who you are now. 19:10 – Libra Rising: Money, self-worth, personal values, and where you may be undervaluing yourself. 19:40 – Virgo Rising: Communication, learning, assumptions, and the conversations that shape your relationships. 20:30 – Leo Rising: Home, family dynamics, emotional foundations, and what makes you feel safe. 21:10 – Cancer Rising: Romance, creativity, pleasure, self-expression, and making room for joy. 22:30 – Gemini Rising: Work, routines, wellbeing, daily responsibilities, and invisible labor. 23:00 – Taurus Rising: Partnerships, reciprocity, boundaries, and creating a more balanced exchange. 23:25 – Aries Rising: Intimacy, trust, shared finances, debt, and emotional vulnerability. 24:20 – Pisces Rising: Beliefs, education, travel, and making room for a new perspective. 24:50 – Aquarius Rising: Career, public image, purpose, and redefining what success and abundance mean to you. 25:40 – Capricorn Rising: Friendships, community, collaboration, and the people supporting your future. 27:10 – Sagittarius Rising: Rest, subconscious patterns, inner healing, and releasing outdated attachments. Your reflection for the week: Where are you ready to stop choosing what looks right and start paying attention to what feels right? You can want love and still have standards. You can want harmony and still have boundaries. And you can appreciate who you've been while making room for who you're becoming. ✨ Ready for Your Own Cosmic Glow Up?

    Moon Day Motivation & Virgo Season: The Cosmic Reset | Simplify, Release & Reconnect With Yourself

    What if this season isn't asking you to become a better version of yourself, but a more honest version of yourself? In this Moon Day Motivation, we're moving out of eclipse season and into a powerful period of reassessment, reflection, and reset. With the Sun in Virgo, we're being invited to come back to the basics: our bodies, our routines, our energy, and the question, "Is the way I'm living actually supporting the person I'm becoming?" I share a personal Virgo Rising reset, including an unexpected refrigerator breakdown that became the perfect reminder to clean out, simplify, and recognize what was no longer working. Then I pull three crystal oracle cards for the collective around what we're ready to release, what truth we're ready to acknowledge, and what wants to emerge in this next chapter. I'll also walk you through the upcoming astrology, including the shift from Virgo Season into Libra Season, Venus retrograde beginning October 3, Mercury retrograde beginning October 24, and both Mercury and Venus turning direct on November 13. Plus, you'll get three journal prompts to help you work with this energy: ✨ What is my body asking for? ✨ What is unnecessarily complicated? ✨ What do I want to value differently? This is your invitation to clean up what needs cleaning up, simplify what no longer needs to be complicated, listen to your body, and make space for the version of you that's ready to emerge. You are not behind. You don't need to fix yourself. Sometimes the glow up begins with simply coming back to yourself.

    Letting Go Without Letting Go | The Pisces Lunar Eclipse

    The Pisces Lunar Eclipse, Motherhood & the Threshold of Seven The August 28 Pisces Lunar Eclipse invites us into a different kind of release: not necessarily letting go of the people, relationships, identities, or dreams we love, but letting go of the version of them that may no longer fit. In this episode, Crystal explores the Pisces Lunar Eclipse of August 28, 2026, what this eclipse may be illuminating collectively, and how to work with the emotional, intuitive, and energetic themes of Pisces. But this eclipse is deeply personal for Crystal, too. It falls on her daughter's seventh birthday, opening a much deeper reflection on motherhood, independence, seven-year cycles, Saturn, and the bittersweet experience of watching someone you love become more fully themselves. Crystal also shares why this eclipse feels particularly significant through her own astrology, and how that personal experience became the doorway into a much bigger collective conversation. Because sometimes the invitation isn't to walk away. Sometimes it's to let go without letting go. What are you being asked to release, feel, or allow to change? 🌕 In this episode: The August 28, 2026 Pisces Lunar Eclipse What lunar eclipses can illuminate and bring to the surface Pisces, Virgo, intuition, discernment & surrender The symbolism of seven-year cycles and Saturn Motherhood, independence & developmental thresholds What it means to release without abandoning A reflection practice for working with the eclipse energy You don't have to figure it all out.

    What Are You Done Hiding? 🌑 The Total Solar Eclipse in Leo

    This Total Solar Eclipse in Leo is asking us a powerful question: Where have you been hiding, performing an identity that no longer fits, or holding back the fullest expression of who you are? In this episode, Crystal explores where Leo lands in each Rising Sign's chart and pulls cards to discover what is ready to REVEAL, RELEASE, or RECLAIM for you. The Total Solar Eclipse in Leo is here, and instead of telling you which signs are "most affected," Crystal is inviting every Rising Sign into the conversation. Eclipses are amplifiers. They accelerate what is already ready to shift, bringing things into greater awareness and inviting us to course-correct. And because this is a Solar Eclipse in Leo, the bigger collective question is around authentic self-expression: Where have you been hiding? Where have you been performing an identity that no longer fits? Where are you ready to reclaim your creativity, your heart, your voice, and your right to be fully yourself? In this episode, Crystal breaks down where Leo is landing in each Rising Sign's chart, then pulls cards for each sign to explore what is ready to be revealed, released, or reclaimed in that area of life. You'll hear messages around creativity, money, relationships, career, identity, spirituality, community, purpose, daily routines, and so much more. And at the end, Crystal introduces The Eclipse Quad, an intimate four-week container for eight people to receive personalized eclipse-season guidance directly from her through WhatsApp. ✨ Listen for your Rising Sign, receive the card message, and then ask yourself: What is this eclipse showing me that I'm ready to see differently? 00:00 — Welcome + Why This Eclipse Matters 05:00 — What Solar Eclipses Actually Bring 09:00 — Reveal, Release & Reclaim 13:00 — Aries Rising: Leo in the 5th House 16:00 — Taurus Rising: Leo in the 4th House 19:00 — Gemini Rising: Leo in the 3rd House 22:00 — Cancer Rising: Leo in the 2nd House 26:00 — Leo Rising: Leo in the 1st House 30:00 — Virgo Rising: Leo in the 12th House 35:00 — Libra Rising: Leo in the 11th House 38:00 — Scorpio Rising: Leo in the 10th House 42:00 — Sagittarius Rising: Leo in the 9th House 45:00 — Capricorn Rising: Leo in the 8th House 48:00 — Aquarius Rising: Leo in the 7th House 52:00 — Pisces Rising: Leo in the 6th House 56:00 — The Eclipse Quad: Four Weeks of Personal Guidance 1:01:00 — Final Eclipse Message + Closing Connect with Crystal: Book the "ECLIPSE QUAD" Cosmic Reset - 4 weeks of personalized messages through Eclipse Season $88 - https://LoveGlowAlchemy.as.me/ Instagram: @crystal.loveglow Email: crystal@thecosmicglowup.com Free Astrology Quick Start Guide: Quick Start Guides — The Cosmic Glow-Up by Love Glow Alchemy LLC

    Moon-day Motivation: Stop Rehearsing. Start Expressing - A Rare Jupiter-Neptune Moment

    Have you ever felt like you've been growing in ways no one else could see? Today, Jupiter forms a trine to Neptune while also engaging with Pluto, as Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all gather around the fourth degree of their new signs. Together, they create a powerful invitation to build a new foundation rooted in authenticity, trust, and soul-led expansion. In this Moon-day Motivation episode, I'm sharing why I've taken a quieter season over the past few months, what I've learned through healing my body, mind, and spirit, and why this week's astrology feels like an invitation to stop hiding and start expressing. Together we'll explore the difference between the inner planets, the outer planets, and why Jupiter acts as the bridge between your everyday life and your soul's evolution. I'll also walk you through where Jupiter is inviting expansion in your birth chart based on the house where Leo falls. Plus, we'll begin with a powerful oracle card and intuitive message to guide your week. In this episode you'll discover: ✨ Why not every season is meant to be visible ✨ The difference between your personal planets and your soul planets ✨ How Jupiter bridges who you are with who you're becoming ✨ Where Leo is inviting growth in your life over the next year ✨ Journal prompts to help you dream bigger, trust yourself, and take the leap This episode is a reminder that your healing isn't separate from your purpose.

    Sedona, Signs & Sisterhood: The Lesson I Didn't Know I Needed

    I thought I was traveling to Sedona for a retreat, inspiration, and a little business networking. What I didn't expect was a profound reminder that we're not meant to do life alone. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the unexpected experiences that unfolded during my time in Sedona, including an ancestral healing experience during breathwork, a surprising connection to my late aunt who visited Sedona for years, and a symbolic gift that appeared at a vortex when I needed it most. But this episode isn't really about Sedona. It's about sisterhood. It's about the women who came before us, the women who walk beside us now, and what happens when we finally allow ourselves to receive support instead of carrying everything on our own. In this episode, we'll explore: ✨ Ancestral healing and feminine lineage ✨ The power of being held during difficult moments ✨ Why women often struggle to receive support ✨ My "Sisterhood Inventory" reflection questions ✨ Venus opposite Pluto and lessons around connection, trust, and receiving ✨ How astrocartography helped me understand my Sedona experience As we step into Cancer Season and the energy of the Summer Solstice, this conversation feels like a reminder to soften, receive, and remember that transformation rarely happens in isolation. Ready for your own Cosmic Glow-Up? Sometimes the next level isn't another strategy. It's having someone reflect your gifts back to you, help you trust your intuition, and remind you of who you are becoming.
