Ava is joined by the MORE pod’s resident astrologer, KJ Atlas, for a special three-month astrology forecast for spring covering March 19 to June 20, 2024. This forecast includes information about the most influential astrological events of Aries, Taurus, and Gemini season, and tips on how to use the energy of spring to manifest rich-bixch experiences.

In the official start of the natural new year, we welcome spring in the Northern Hemisphere on March 19th. In true Aries fashion, this year starts off with a bang (eclipse season) and it’s going to be a wild ride all the way through.

Ava and KJ discuss the high-level vibes for spring and the most significant astrological events of the season including: Mercury retrograde in Aries, total solar eclipse in Libra, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, and Jupiter moving into Gemini. They offer practical tips and mindset shifts to help maintain perspective during this period of intense astrological weather, which may feel like the spin cycle on the washing machine. Remember, laundry comes out clean on the other side.

They wrap up the forecast by sharing manifestation techniques for working with each of the three new moons in the second quarter of the year to help you best align with the astrological energy and have a rich-bixch spring.

Welcome to Season 3! In this first travel talk of the year, Ava Beilke shares her recent trip to Soho, New York City. Objectively one of the best and biggest cities in the world, New York City has more of everything, including shopping. Ava’s stay in Soho confirms that S is for shopping and shopping is for Soho. She provides a rundown of the shopping scene, where you’ll find every store imaginable, and discusses the pros and cons of shopping in-person. In the spirit of taking the pressure off, Ava skips the Michelin-starred French cuisine in favor of more approachable options, and suggests a handful of great casual dining spots perfect for solo dining in NYC. The host also shares her journey of getting a tattoo from Girl Knew York (reason of trip!), and wraps up with helpful tips for first-time visitors to New York City.

Ava is joined by the podcast’s very own resident astrologer, KJ Atlas, for a special three-month astrology forecast covering the winter season from December 21, 2023, to March 19, 2024. This forecast includes information about the most influential astrological events of the season and tips on how to use the energy to manifest rich-bixch experiences all winter long.

Rather than strictly obliging by the Roman Empire calendar that loves to run our lives, KJ prefers using the zodiac signs as micro seasons to help us work with, and not against the natural rhythm of time. With this in mind, she lays out the blueprint for the season: restful December, boss bixch January, fun February, and creative March. 

Ava and KJ discuss the high-level vibes for winter and the most significant astrological events of the season including: the end of Mercury retrograde, the influence of Mars in Capricorn, the direct motion of Uranus, the transition of Pluto into Aquarius, and the gentle energy of Pisces. They explore how each of these events can be harnessed for personal growth, self-care, and social connection because winter doesn’t have to suck. In fact, the astro weather is looking favorable to make it a warm girl winter.

They wrap up the conversation by sharing manifestation techniques for working with each of the three new moons in the first quarter of the year to help you best align with the astrological energy and have a rich-bixch winter. 

And yes, they did record this during Mercury retrograde. If you notice anything glitchy, no you didn’t. XOXO
