In this episode, I am joined by the incredibly talented Skylar Grey to explore her natal chart and talk about the magic behind her songwriting.

    The First House: What People Feel the Moment You Walk Into a Room

    Have you ever wondered what your rising sign really means? Or why certain people seem to “get you” from the moment you meet? In this episode, I am kicking off a brand new series all about the houses in astrology, starting with the one that shapes everything: the First House. The First House is your house of identity. It is your “I am” statement, the energy people feel the moment you walk into a room. It is determined by your rising sign, and it sets the stage for your entire natal chart. I walk through all twelve zodiac signs as rising signs, sharing what each one brings to the First House, what your chart ruler means for you, and how you can use this energy to reinvent yourself. Whether you have Aries rising and walk in with fire, or Pisces rising and bring a soft, healing presence, this episode will help you understand why people experience you the way they do. This is the first in a series where I go deep into each house, one per episode. If you have ever looked at your natal chart and wondered what those twelve pie pieces mean, this series is for you. Topics Covered: What houses are in astrology and why they matter Why empty houses in your chart are nothing to worry about The First House as the house of identity and your “I am” statement Why your birth time matters for understanding your rising sign All 12 rising signs broken down: what each one brings to the First House How your chart ruler connects to your rising sign How to use First House energy to reinvent yourself Timestamps: [00:04] Welcome and introduction to the Houses in Astrology series [00:58] What are houses in your natal chart [04:22] Aries Rising and walking in with fire [06:47] Taurus Rising and the gift of presence [11:18] Leo Rising and owning your power [12:46] Virgo Rising and the power of discernment [23:59] Pisces Rising and dissolving boundaries [26:07] First House recap and what is coming next week Resources: Spirit Daughter Instagram: @spiritdaughter Spirit Daughter Website: spiritdaughter.com My New Book "Spirit Daughter": Get it here Get Your Free Natal Chart Book a Natal Chart Reading Try the Moment App for Free Get the Gemini Season Workbook See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    What does your birth chart reveal about who you are becoming? In this episode, I am sitting down with New York Times bestselling author Alex Elle to read her birth chart live and talk about her newest book, The Company We Keep, which is her sixth book. Alex is a Leo Sun with a Pisces Rising and a Taurus Moon, and her chart tells the story of someone who is learning to step into the spotlight even when every part of her wants to stay hidden.

    Air Signs: The Element That Connects Us All

    We are wrapping up the Element Series with the one element you cannot see but absolutely cannot live without: Air. In this episode, Jill breaks down everything you need to know about Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, the three signs ruled by the element of air. Air is the invisible force that connects all of us. It rules our thoughts, our ideas, and how we communicate with the world. And here is something most people get wrong: Aquarius is NOT a water sign. It is an air sign, and in this episode, Jill explains exactly why. You will learn what makes each air sign unique, from Gemini's endless curiosity to Libra's quest for balance and beauty to Aquarius's mission to evolve the collective. Jill also gets into the shadow side of each sign and what happens when air energy goes out of balance. If you have air sign placements in your chart (or love someone who does), this episode is going to change the way you understand that energy. Press play and dive in.

    The Retrogrades Nobody Talks About (and Why They Matter)

    Retrogrades are not what you think they are. And if the word “retrograde” makes you cringe, tense up, or want to cancel your plans, this episode is going to change that. Today I am breaking down every single planetary retrograde so you understand what each one actually does and how to work with the energy instead of against it. Retrogrades are not bad. They are not here to ruin your life. They are simply a different kind of energy, one that asks you to slow down, turn inward, and integrate everything you have been learning. The key is in those two letters: “re.” Reflect. Revise. Reintegrate. Review. I walk through Mercury retrograde, Venus retrograde, Mars retrograde, Jupiter retrograde, Saturn retrograde, and the outer planet retrogrades (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) so you know exactly what to expect and how to use each one. I also explain what a retrograde actually is (spoiler: it is an optical illusion), why we are almost always dealing with some kind of retrograde energy, and how the brief window where all planets move direct is rarer than you think. If you want to stop fearing retrogrades and start finding the power in them, press play. And share this with a friend who panics every time Mercury goes retrograde.   Topics Covered: What a retrograde actually is and why it is an optical illusion Why retrogrades are not bad and how “re” is the key: reflect, revise, reintegrate, review How we are almost always dealing with some kind of retrograde energy The rare all planets direct window (March 20 to May 6 in 2026) and why it matters Mercury retrograde: communication turning inward, 3 weeks, 3 times a year Venus retrograde: relationships and values spinning inward for reassessment Mars retrograde: action and drive redirected into reflection and strategy Jupiter retrograde: expansion that happens internally instead of externally Saturn retrograde: reviewing the structures and commitments in your life Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto retrogrades: slow, generational shifts that work beneath the surface How every retrograde is an invitation to integrate before your next leap forward Practical ways to work with retrograde energy in your daily life Resources: Spirit Daughter Instagram: @spiritdaughter Spirit Daughter Website: spiritdaughter.com My New Book “Spirit Daughter”: Get it here  Your Free Natal Chart: chart.spiritdaughter.com Book a Natal Chart Reading Try the Moment App for Free.

    What 7,000 Women Want to Let Go Of (and What They Really Want Instead) with Danielle LaPorte

    What would happen if you stopped chasing what you think you want and started releasing what is in the way? Today I am sitting down with Danielle LaPorte, bestselling author, member of Oprah’s Super Soul 100, and the creator behind the new Centering app for spiritual wellness. We are talking about her newest book, Bless and Release, and the survey she did with over 7,000 people asking just two questions: What do you want to let go of? And what do you want to manifest? The top answers will surprise you and probably feel very familiar. I also read Danielle’s full natal chart live and we go deep into her Gemini Sun in the ninth house (she was born to write books and speak the truth), her Virgo Moon and why perfectionism has been her lifelong companion, and her Libra Rising that makes everyone she meets feel instantly at ease. We get into worthiness, people pleasing, managing other people’s emotions, self talk, and why your inner critic might actually be your greatest teacher if you know how to work with it. Plus, we talk about Mercury retrograde and why some people are less affected by it than others based on their chart. Press play and share this with someone who is ready to release what is no longer serving them. Topics Covered: Danielle’s natal chart reading: Gemini Sun, Virgo Moon, Libra Rising The ninth house and why Danielle was born to write books and tell the truth Virgo Moon and the lifelong dance with perfectionism Libra Rising and why beauty, balance, and aesthetics are part of her identity Her book Bless and Release and the survey of 7,000+ people on what they want to release and manifest The top answer: worthiness and the feeling of never being enough Managing other people’s emotions and the hidden weight of people pleasing How to recognize when you are carrying someone else’s emotional load Self talk and your inner critic as a tool for growth Why your identity has to match what you are trying to manifest Mercury retrograde and why some chart placements make you less affected The Centering app and Danielle’s vision for multifaith spiritual wellness Resources: Spirit Daughter Instagram: @spiritdaughter Spirit Daughter Website: spiritdaughter.com My New Book "Spirit Daughter": Get it here Get Your Free Natal Chart.
