What happens when you stop giving your power away? In this episode of The Tapestry of Connection, Gena Frances sits down with Belgian seer, astrologer and medium Lieve de Rycke for a conversation that begins with a fascinating connection they share — Pluto in the First House — and grows into a much bigger exploration of power, intuition, mediumship, astrology and spiritual development. Lieve shares what it was like growing up extraordinarily sensitive, sensing things other people couldn't see and learning to hide her abilities. She describes the losses that eventually led her to mediumship, some of the experiences that convinced her there was much more to explore, and how developing her abilities changed the way she understands herself and the world. Gena and Lieve also explore astrology as a language for understanding ourselves, Mercury retrograde, Archangel Michael, angelic energy and an extraordinary experience Lieve had while watching Gena during a trance-healing session at Arthur Findlay College. Then the conversation turns outward. What might Pluto in Aquarius, Neptune in Aries and Uranus in Gemini tell us about this moment in history? Lieve talks about technology and AI, changing structures of power, spiritual leadership, information, discernment and the danger of giving our authority to people who tell us they alone have the answers. Her message is simple: don't just listen to someone's words. Watch what their behavior creates. And instead of waiting for someone else to change the world, reclaim the power you have over your own choices, your own life and the way you show up for the people around you.
