    Stop Trying to Fix How You Feel: The Emotional Wave

    Welcome to Episode: 20 — The Alchemy of Big Feelings: Human Design, Grief, and Creative Gold Host: Christy Simoncelli No guests today—just Christy and her "big feelings." In this solo episode, Christy dives deep into emotions, conditioning, and how the lens of Human Design gives us a whole new way to navigate our high and low moods. Half of the people walking the Earth have emotional authority and are riding the emotional wave. So few of us were raised to honor that! From observing how people react to daily Instagram energy reports to examining the cultural conditioning that only "happy" feelings are acceptable, Christy unpacks why rainy days—and heavy moods—are not something to fix or fight. Whether you have Emotional Authority and ride a defined emotional wave, or an Open Emotional Center that amplifies the energy around you, this conversation invites you to stop inventorying why you feel down and start honoring what your emotions are calling for. Plus, we look at the powerful alchemy of grief, melancholy, and heavy moods throughout history—from Shakespeare and Mary Shelley to Frida Kahlo and U2—and how honoring our depth creates true art, community, and healing. Topics Covered: Human Design Emotional Authority The Feelings Wheel Self Acceptance The Emotional Wave Resources Mentioned Cured: The Life-Changing Science of Spontaneous Healing by Dr. Jeffrey Rediger Christy's Substack Essay: "Grief is a Noun" Connect & Work with Christy Website: www.henscrossing.com Instagram: hens.crossing Substack: https://substack.com/@christysimoncelli Book a Session or Register for Upcoming Workshops: https://schedulinghenscrossing.as.me/events

    What Is Worth Fighting For? Venus & Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio

    Welcome to Episode 18 of Unreasonable Magic! In this episode, Christy Simoncelli breaks down the upcoming double retrograde season and takes a closer look at Venus and Mercury retrogrades in Scorpio and Libra. We look at the actual mechanics of these cycles including dates and themes and ways you can integrate this into your life. Instead of fearing the cosmic slowdown, we explore how to use this intense water-sign energy to declutter your mental space, reflect on your relationships, re-evaluate what you value, and figure out what is truly worth fighting for. This Venus Retrograde cycle feels especially potent and aligns with themes that might have come up for you during Fall of 2018. Christy shares her own experience with Venus Retrograde from a personal perspective. As always Christy adds the Human Design layer to add some more context! Join us for the magic!

Human Design & Energetic Mechanics: Exploring Gates 44 and 28—the energetic blueprint of pattern recognition, intuitive awareness, and wrestling with life's deeper struggles. The 2018 Parallel & Personal Retreat: Looking back at historical cycles (like the heavy shifts of 2018) and why stepping back into a temporary retreat is essential for integrating big life lessons and finishing what matters most. Time Stamps & Key Takeaways: 00:00 – Intro to the double retrograde season and why it caps off a massive year of reinvention. 02:22 – What a retrograde actually is (and why planets appear to move backward). 08:18 – Venus in Scorpio: Moving past the "bougie" surface into deep emotional truth and values. 10:50 – The Airport Analogy: Understanding pre-shadows, retrogrades, and post-shadow integration. 15:04 – Venus shifts into Libra: Finding balance, grace, and integration. 19:40 – Mercury joins the mix: Taming the microscope mind in Scorpio. 22:57 – Human Design Gates 44 and 28: Recognizing old patterns and finding purpose through struggle. 24:20 – The 2018 parallel and stepping back into a seasonal retreat to write and reset.

    Can Yoga Make You Psychic?

    Welcome to Unreasonable Magic Episode 16! In this episode, Christy Simoncelli interviews Beth Licata Cooke about her journey with yoga, mediumship, intuition, and spiritual practices. They explore how yoga enhances intuition, the Koshas and 8 limbs of yoga, and the role of spirit communication, offering insights for personal growth and spiritual development. We get real about the non physical side of yoga, energy blockages, opening to spirit and quite possibly make the other side make sense. In This Episode, We Cover: Beth's Journey & Studio Origins: Transitioning into empty nesting, using yoga to manage psoriatic arthritis for three decades, and purchasing her studio space right before 2020. The Body as an Intuitive Amplifier: Why physical yoga (asana) and breathwork naturally declutter the mind, purify heavy energy, and heighten intuitive/mediumistic abilities. The Koshas (The 5 Subtle Sheaths): Annamaya Kosha: The physical body (bones, muscles, tissue). Pranamaya Kosha: The energy layer (breath, chakras, nadis, and aura). Manomaya Kosha: The mental layer (thoughts, everyday identity, and analytical mind). Vijnanamaya Kosha: The subtle wisdom layer holding intuition, psychic perception, subconscious stories, and deeper energetic awareness. Yoga Therapy vs. Standard Studio Classes: How yoga therapy utilizes all 8 limbs of yoga to create customized practices tailored to an individual’s Ayurvedic constitution (doshas) and specific energetic blockages. Astrology & Human Design Profiles: Beth’s Chart: Full Moon baby with Virgo Sun, Pisces Moon (mind-body integration axis), Scorpio Rising (the deep healer), and a 6/2 Profile (Hermit/Role Model) in Human Design. Christy's Hand Analysis: The "Saturn line" connection to hard work, high responsibility, and managing Pitta (fire) energy to avoid burnout. Mediumship & Energy Work: How spirit communication operates as an energetic exchange through the subtle body rather than structured text messages, and why dead loved ones put the right people in front of intuitives at the right time. Beth Licata Cooke is the owner of Village Yoga WNY and the founder of Luna Sola, where she offers yoga therapy, tarot, mediumship, breathwork, and intuitive guidance.

    The Sage & the Mystic Round 3: When Dreams Change, Trusting Intuition & Your Truest Path Forward

    Welcome to Round 3 of the Sage & the Mystic where we unpack listener questions with the tools of astrology, human design and the advice of a wise woman and good common sense. In this third installment of The Sage & The Mystic, Christy and Peggy take on three listener questions focused on career transitions, deep burnout, and discovering your higher purpose. They unpack why conditioning and overstimulation make intuition so difficult to trust, how to shift from "fixing what's wrong" to adding what feels good, and why honoring your life timing is the ultimate act of alignment. From navigating major astrological Progressed Midheaven shifts to practical frameworks for clearing overcommitted schedules, this episode is a masterclass in surrendering the push and stepping into your natural magnetics. In This Episode, We Cover: Unpacking Intuitive Conditioning: How childhood conditioning and modern overstimulation block our inner knowing, plus the power of scheduling a 90-second daily pause or a 15-minute "Date with the Divine." The 4/1 Fixed Profile Dynamics: Why staying on your authentic track matters, and how shifting from "fixing people" to asset-based support changes everything. Question 1 (Robyn): What to do when you’ve lost the zest for a long-held career dream, working with 5/1 Emotional Generator energy, and navigating a once-in-a-lifetime Progressed Midheaven shift into Taurus. Question 2 (Lauren): Peggy’s golden framework for multi-passionate burnout ("Pick three irons, put the rest in the drawer"), navigating an open Identity Center, and prepping for upcoming Jupiter transits and Gate 39 activations. Question 3 (Tricia): Transitioning into retirement, leveraging multi-passionate 2/5 Emotional Manifesting Generator energy, and stepping into grief work through journal therapy, yoga, and meditation.

    Trusting Your Intuition: What If You’re Not Making It Up?

    How to Know What’s Yours: Intuition, Signs, and Trust Welcome to Episode 14! Christy Simoncelli opens this solo episode of Unreasonable Magic by sharing a very personal story about a house that kept catching her eye until it turned out to be the right home for her family. It was her intuition that pushed her to the house. From that story, she explores how intuition shows up in everyday life, why trusting it is often harder than receiving it, and how to strengthen that skill through practice. She also shares upcoming opportunities for intuitive development, plus practical ways to notice signs, track dreams, and work more closely with your own inner knowing. Join us for real life, easy to use examples to begin developing, trusting and using your intuition.
