Hello and welcome to reconnection the podcast all about spirituality personal growth and lifestyle. I'm Elizabeth and I am here to help guide you to reconnect and realign so that you can become your most authentic and worthy self every week. You will get insight and inspiration so you can grow and glow. Hello. Hello and welcome back to reconnection. And you know, what as per usual we're just going to do I even need to say it anymore. I feel like I don't need to say it anymore, but we're going to start off with of the weekly wrap. So basically it what was happening the past week going down in Liz town. Do you guys remember that shows like my life as Liz? This is it. This is the 2019 rebooted version almost 220 and You know this really kind of annoys me when we talk about 2020 or we talk about the new year. There's always almost this deadline feel like you need to shove everything that is no longer serving you into this bucket and you're just going to push to the side and be like yo 2020 or not deal with that shit no more but like life doesn't work like that. It always comes in the Cycles. These things are with you to teach you and to learn. You and bring you opportunities for growth and when you just try to like, oh, I'm just nutrient everything and going into 2020 without anything bothering me anymore. That's just like really setting yourself up for failure because those things those triggers those traumas those believes those boundaries. Those are going to probably come up to see if you're going to be willing to stand in your worth and stand in your power and see if you're going to fall back to those patterns. So just be Go I'm just going to push it to the side. Now. What you're doing is totally like spiritual bypassing that shit. So just totally honor yourself and honor where you're at and it doesn't have to be this whole Grand thing of I'm ditching all my toxic friends I'm saying bye to all my beliefs and here I am smiles to the camera and waves and yeah, if you could see what it looked like in my brain, you'd probably be more impressed, but that's pretty much what it really annoys me. Me about this time of year because it always seems to be this Collective to just rush rush rush and do these things and it's good to set goals. It's good to do these things, but you can do them at any point in time and you can't really bypass all the feelings that are coming up but with it and those are just like really opportunities to create great change and degrade great moments for you to look into and that was definitely something that I was doing this past week, which was really looking at where am I still giving my Away, and it's really kind of shook me up because I do I talk a lot about comparison, especially the past month and that's something that I have fallen so deeply hard to like just it's so easy for me to do especially growing up. I always wanted to be like the popular kids because I wasn't I was very shy like I wasn't really accepted or like really fitting in was not the thing for me. So external validation was huge and said I was like, Pair myself to other people always want to be the top to be the best and I really came face-to-face with that this weekend because yeah, I was still comparing myself to other people. I was like, oh it's my gifts not as good as so and so's are they doing X Y & Z much better than me, but it was taking my power away and giving it to them and thinking that they were somehow were better than me. But the truth is that we all have different unique gifts that were here to share in to explore and so when you're just Comparing yourself to someone else you're completely negating everything that you have to offer and everything that you are good at. So I ended up just like muting those people on social media because I do I do enjoy their content. But right now for me, it's not healthy to be in it because I'll just be like, why am I not doing all those I should probably be doing doing that too instead of listening to my own intuition and to my own God. So yeah just really diving deep into person and I was really giving my power away to other people and thinking that I wasn't special enough for I wasn't talented enough in my own gifts and in my own way. So that is something that was huge that I uncovered during the solstice and it's something that you don't really want to look at. You know, it's something that you kind of want to be like, yeah, whatever put it under the bag put it right the rest of the 2019 things and call it a day. But yeah, it was a long time coming. To look at all that and so now I'm really stepping into whatever the heck that is Flowing with me and really listening to myself because at the end of the day you on a deep deep deep level. No it's exactly right for you and you get that intuition you get that whisp you get that ping of where you're supposed to be going and where you're supposed to be heading and it's all going to come in a perfect time even though it doesn't feel like it or maybe you feel stuck or what not, but you're in Just Gotta Move. Move with that energy instead of being stagnant and if that made sense, so yeah, that is pretty much all that has went down the past week and I do want to remind you that if you're like, yo, I want an akashic records reading with you. Well, luckily for you them. You can book one for the end of the month. I still have spots available or feel like I would like to do it in January. You can also do it then as well. I would love To read your records you allow me to and yeah, so that's pretty much all that was happening for the weekly wrap. And if you do want the reading it the link for that will be in the show notes. And so here we go. We're going to go into probably one of my favorite guests that have had on the podcast. She's literally so powerful in such an expander for me in so many ways, like even the things that we were talking about in the beginning like not fitting in as a kid and just really listening. To your intuition and and finding a balance between the masculine and feminine rule. It's just like well so powerful. So if you're like, wait, what are you talking about? Well, I'm talking about Daisy Clementine. She is a powerful astrologer and she really started when she was 18. You're going to hear about that whole story and she is sharing all the wisdom in this conversation as well as what you can expect from the eclipses which are happening. Well, they officially you'll feel the energy but they're officially happening the day this podcast is released. So if you are curious and interested this episode is going to be so jam-packed with so much wisdom and so much power and so much expansiveness. So without further Ado, let's get into this magical conversation. So today we are joined with Daisy who is an astrologer. But before we get into all of that good stuff. Can you tell us a little bit about what your Cosmic profile is? Yes, so I am a Virgo sun and Aquarius Moon. Sagittarius ascendant and my human design is I'm a generator. I'm a fellow Virgo over here. Yay. So can you tell us a little bit about your cultural background in your upbringing? Yes, sir. I was actually born in Australia and I have always grown up. I mean my family is very Australian. I'm by generation, but I have grown up surrounded by different cultural influences. My step brothers and sisters were French American on my mom's side American on my dad's side and then my family as well. Have been quite International. So I always felt like I didn't really belong in Australia when I was born here. And I remember as a little girl. I was like I have to get out of here, even though it's such a beautiful place. I do. I am really learning to appreciate the power of the land in Australia, but my heart is definitely in Europe or in California. So I'm a little bit of a gypsy that's my sub descendant. Where are you now? If you don't mind sharing we yeah, yeah, I'm currently visiting my mom back home in Australia. You might be able to hear the nature outside. I'm not sure but my mom lives in a beautiful town called Yelling up and it's down it's south of Perth and it's like on the ocean. It's on the coast, but it's also like in the countryside so it's really really beautiful here and I'm very grateful to be here. That sounds amazing. Yeah, I definitely want to go to Australia at some point. So were you always into like spirituality? Yes, you see I touching on my acquiring and moon. I definitely came in quite different to the society that I grew up in. I always felt like I struggled to fit in and I always felt like a bit of a black sheep and I think I definitely went through a period of trying to conform even though that didn't really support my happiness. Oh my Authenticity. My mom has always been interested in spirituality and she even came to my school when I was like 4 5 6 to teach meditation and I'm pretty sure the kids just stayed because should hand out chocolates at the end. But I've always had a little flavor of that in my life. And then when I when I finish school and I actually fell quite ill you could say I got really bad on her ex here on a boat. Which we can dive into more if you'd like that definitely spiraled me deeper into spirituality and onto a spiritual path. And yeah, it seems like a lifetime ago actually. Yeah, it's always been surrounded. I wasn't surrounded by it. But I think with this path you also have to make conscious decisions to not sacrifice certain things but to go deeper into To it, which can always be a bit of a scary but very rewarding experience. Yeah, totally. I definitely relate to feeling like the black sheep of everyone around you like feeling different growing up. And that was definitely the same for me and that's hilarious. But your mom was like teaching meditation. Like I can I can't even imagine that yeah, so sweet. Yeah, and so you talked a little bit about having an eating disorder. So how did that shape who you have become hmm, so powerfully so I when I was about 15, I got into the modeling industry a little bit and that really is well didn't serve me because I am quite sensitive and yeah, that's definitely what I rolled my eating disorder, but then the eating disorder sort of became bigger than the job itself and I think it was a way for me to in ways want to be seen because growing up I felt I always lacked that in my school by my peers. I felt like I was never being seen and appreciated and I think if I reflect now it came from this place of just wanting to be to know that I was worthy of being here by being validated externally, which is now become such such a huge mission on my path today to really rewire this desire to be validated externally, which I think we've all been conditioned to base all worth outside of ourselves and to really learn how to bring the worth and a back inside and and find are worth within with all the internal gifts and qualities that we have. So that's a huge part of my mission today and a huge part of what I want to help all my clients to do. But yeah with the Anorexia II, you know, it's such a it feels like a lifetime ago because it is such a huge process to go through and really does affect all of the people around you too, but it's definitely what forced me to have to make a huge decision. I remember I was lying in my room one day in Sydney because I was living on my own as soon as I finished school. I was you know, my sad just send him was like I'm getting out of here. I'm going you know going off and so before heading and living overseas. I started off in Sydney. I left path and I just remember it's lying in my room one day and in the dark and I was really depressed and I was just like okay either I have to choose to die or I have to choose to live and I was like, I want to live and I just started, you know, exploring all the self-help Avenues and books and really craving to find a community that I felt resonated with me. Especially because I was much younger and a lot of the people who are honest were on a spiritual path of that time seem to be more in like their 30s and their 40s. I was I was struggling to find people that I could resonate with around my age, but I think in today's Community like spiritual Community, there's a lot more people who are waking up at a much younger age, which is really really beautiful. So and that's what led me to Ubud which is one of the first places. I really started Living in in overseas, which is a major spiritual Hub. You probably heard about it or bird in Bali. Yeah. Yeah, and that was incredibly healing for me going there. I think a bird is a place where people go to heal. And if anyone is seeking deep healing cathartic healing that's a beautiful place to be yeah. So what type of leg self-help stuff did you first get into because I know a lot of people when they start dipping their toes into like spirituality. It's a lot of like doing yoga or meditation and where those like the first type of things that you got into to heal yourself. Yeah. I was definitely trying to Horn in on a beautiful meditation practice. I was going to I was doing yoga like everyday when I was still a bit sick with my eating disorder and the truth is that I really love yoga, but I'm more of a dancer and yes, they overlap very much. But yoga never really fulfilled me and maybe in the way like the vinyasas and stuff that they maybe do for other people but that was definitely one of my entry points. And also I remember the first one of the first books I ever read which really changed. My life is called You Can Heal Your Life by Louise elhae, which I'm sure many people have heard about or read that that was such a beautiful. beautiful transformative book for me and I think it was one of the first self-help help books that my mom ever read because she gave it to me and it was like really old and falling apart, but it was like our Bible and yeah from there I went on, you know to read about, you know, women who run with the Wolves and the Alchemists and the Power of Now so all of those beautiful entry point books that I recommend for anyone exploring this But I have to say coming not coming full circle because this is a never-ending Journey. But when I started off on a spiritual path and I had this major, you know sort of my first experience of Enlightenment. Could you say where it's just like? Whoa recognizing how there's so much Beyond this this material and Physical Realm. I was definitely going through a period of just Bliss and feeling so like whoa, you know, really? Feeling that one love and recognizing the Divine and every being but then I went through a major breakup and I felt like all of that was just ripped away from me. And the beauty of that is that now I've come to this point where I'm like, I just want to be a good human because you know, I think when we do enter into the realm of spirituality it is easy to start buying into spiritual bypass and you know almost toxic positivity, which I'm really trying to steer away from now a huge lesson for me. Was that our thoughts our conscious thoughts don't actually manifest our reality and I remember I went through such a long period of time where I was like, I have to think positive. I have to be happy, you know, and it's actually really unhealthy because if you look at the cycles of nature, we also as humans have to go through winter we have to go through experiences of death and and darkness and dying off and that is So Divine and are soul has come here to have a human experience in to experience the spectrum of human emotion. So I'm also now really trying to support my clients and just being the best humans that they've come here to be and finding their Divinity through that being human. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just like nodding my head over here because I definitely have that was like the first book I ever read to the Louise Hay one and yeah, that's like the first step into it. And yeah and just talking about think positive model. I definitely fell into that hard to and I first got into it as like no I can't be mad at this person but blah but yeah just really deeping it diving into that. We all have these different spectrums of emotions. It is so important to look like value all of them and not just on. Focus on the positive you're just missing out on a whole other spectrum of being a human totally. So yeah and then so what got you into studying astrology and becoming an astrologer. What was that process like so one of my beautiful best friends, her name is Maya. She she's one that she grew up in bali's and I knew her from Bali because I've been going to Bali ever since I was a very little girl. Because my cousin grew up there and we have a family home there. So my has probably my oldest friend. I've known her since birth and she's also always been very deep into the realm of spirituality and esoteric teachings and she introduced me to astrology probably when I was about 14 years 15 16 years old really young and I was like, what is this nonsense? This is silly, you know still quiet conditioned in many ways. From where I grew up and I was like, I don't believe in that especially because like the pop culture astrology the horoscopes in the magazines. I still don't support them. I think that they give astrology a really bad reputation because yes, I know it's beautiful to maybe read up about your horoscope, but you your astrology chart is like your fingerprint it is so unique to you and you are so much more than just your sun sign your made up of all the planets all the archetypes all the elements and they're all But in different ways and they all have a different relationship inside of you then the person next to you. So I I can see why a lot of people immediately think astrology is a little bit silly when they're just reading those horoscopes because it is there's so much more depth than that. But yeah. Anyways, she gave me this book and I started reading it and I was like, okay something here and then from that moment I just started initially being self-taught. Watching heaps of YouTube videos reading books reading articles podcasts. And then finally I enrolled myself in my first astrology school when I was about 18 and that was in Sydney. It's called Sydney astrology school. And he also does online courses now, which I highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore it. He's an amazing teacher. Whose name's Mark and yeah, and then I was studying there for For about three years in total to do all the levels. I even repeated one of the levels because there's so much information and I was just when I started studying at Sydney astrology school, I had this moment of holy holy shit, excuse my language, but I found something that is bigger than me. And this is the love of my life and it's not human and you know, I'm in love with this and I want to be in relationship to this for the rest of my life and devote myself to it and Yeah, I was doing a uni degree for two years and I didn't finish it. I quit it. I stopped it and I just completely started committing myself to the practice of astrology, but it was only actually lost year that I a hundred percent made it my soul like career profession purpose source of income and that was also a huge just a bit of an expansive story. For anyone listening I'd like to share because I was working in yachting for a while, which is in yachts in Europe as a stewardess and that was incredibly unfair filling for me again, and I it took a lot but finally when I made this decision to quit this job that gave me a very secure source of income and just commit to my astrology the universe opened up the floodgates of love and abundance and happiness for me. It was just like Girl, you've made this leap of faith. You've done something. That's scary, but you're being true to yourself. So I'm supporting you now and I'm going to help you be inflow because I believe that all the universe wants is for us to be in our most authentic expression of self. And when we're out of alignment with that the universe is just going to keep meeting us with roadblocks and friction because it's like, hey, you're not on purpose. You're not doing what your soul has come here to do. So I feel like as soon as I took that leap of faith the universe. I was like, yep. Okay, I'm supporting you you're in a you're in your on purpose now. So yeah those just like a little inspiring story for anyone that is considering taking that leap of faith. Oh, I love that so much. Yeah, that's definitely super expansive so did learning astrology did it help you better understand yourself and like a whole new way. Oh totally. Oh my gosh. I mean the key theme work. one of them I would say is just permission permission to be yourself permission to be exactly as your soul came here to be in this lifetime and Beyond what Society has told you we've all come here to be a unique flavor of human and astrology just help me to have this deeper understanding of not only the what but the why the lessons behind why I am a certain way or why I need to maybe experience things in a certain way the way I like to look at the birth chart. If we're looking at fate and versus free will is that the the placement of the planets that you come in within your birth chart in this lifetime? This is almost like the container of what your soul is needing to experience energetically in this lifetime, but within that container you have complete freedom of choice to work with those energies in anyway, You wish to yeah. That is very interesting. Like I'm gonna do you have like a website that you recommend to look up your birth chart on? Yeah. Yeah, I would say I will always use Destro.com. I use now clears throat like a professional astrology software, but I used to use a doctor or you can use Cafe Astrology that probably the two most popular. I know as well. There's like applications you can use on your phone these days. People use like co-star or Time Passages, but I'm not as familiar because I am just using my own like software now, but and also I don't know like how yes, they'll bring up your birth chart, but when you're reading the profiles that they write up they are insightful but they lack the Poetry of the human to pull it all together if you know what I mean, but it is a great great starting point. Yeah. Definitely sometimes I read Add them on the side. I'm like, I don't really know what this means. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's just like a bit of a generic I think right up for like each of the placements and the planets and stuff, but it's really cool. I think the coolest part about astrology. Is it just as reflecting we as astrologers a helping you to become aware of certain unconscious parts of your soul and when I say unconscious, I don't mean in the unhealthy way. I mean in like oh, there's these parts of me that have been living inside of me and needing to come out but I haven't been fully aware of them yet or there's like this knowing but not they haven't come into your conscious awareness yet. So it's Awakening all of those things. So how can the average person really use astrology as a tool? Like is there like certain planets that we should look at or houses or stuff like that? Yes. Yes. I mean, so do you mean like if they're not wanting to go and really study in depth? What are some basic things they can use in their everyday life? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know a great starting point of course is going to be understanding. Moon cycles and how you can simply align yourself with the cycles of the Moon even though the Moon is very fleeting and its movement and aspects and transits because of course the moon cycle is approximately 28 days and it will only stay in a phase. Like it will only be in at the new moon phase or the full moon phase for about three and a half days. There is eight phases in total but I mean a very basic practical All you could take home with you is that when the moon is new? This is a time to be planting new seeds and intentions for the next 28 day lunar cycle. So it's like what over this next 28 days am I going to be wanting to build and work with and harvest and give birth to and really take through that whole cycle of death and rebirth and transformation. So on the new moon you're planting fresh energy and is the Moon is growing it is Boxing and this is a time where we're Gathering our resources and our tools and we're really importing and nourishing this intention and then when we get to the full moon a common misconception about the full moon is that it's like a period of more of like death and winter and and that that that surrender in that way actually the full moon is more related to Summer. It's a time of harvest. It's a time of giving birth. So, of course, it can be a very emotional time because we're Going to give birth and let go and let it go out into the world what we've been what was planted in the new moon, but it's also a really fruitful time as well where we're able to show some of these more hidden parts of ourselves to the people in the world around us. And then as the Moon is decreasing its waning and energy begins to come back to ourselves again. Yes now we're beginning this period of it's slowly starting to die off. So that space can be created for those seeds that you want to plan on the new moon and I always love to touch on one of my favorite lunar phases and that is called the dark moon phase which happens one day before the new moon phase begins. And this is when the moon is not visible in the night sky, it's a very auspicious time. This is the time for death and osmosis and a complete cutting cords letting go Go, you know you need to be careful about I mean, you don't need to be a but I like to say maybe be more aware about what your intentions are on this day. And where you're directing your energy and your thoughts because it is you know that time it's a little bit more auspicious the energy the veil is a bit more thin than yeah. It's a nice time to really maybe just be at home take a bath really come back into yourself and create space for the next cycle. Yeah, and apart from that. I mean there's so much I could dive into another beautiful thing would be really having an awareness of the elements which I love to teach about in my workshops. It's you know, the elements of the foundation of everything in our lives. We have the four elements in astrology, which is US water Fire and Air so earth and water they're both Yin elements are both considered to be feminine even though I like To use those labels lately, but the Yen elements are much more receptive introverted. They keep that energy to themselves that element of Earth is of course everything to do with what we can see touch and feel in this earth realm and astrologically that translates to discipline responsibility form structure organization discernment respect. I also like to relate the element of Earth to risk Back to respecting your body respecting planet Earth and the people around you and time and those those laws of gravity also because the Moon is the only planet that orbits the earth and how that translates astrologically is that to have a healthy relationship to our emotional body. We first need to be tending to our us body. Would you like me to continue with the rest of the elements? Yeah. I don't really I'm so Today honestly haven't like heard someone talk about this in the astrology way. So go ahead cool, beautiful. Yes. So and you know this the way you can start sort of playing with these things is first of all when you meet someone when I meet someone, you know, they'll be like, oh you're an astrologer tell me what my sign is and I'm like, I don't know you that you I'm not a sidekick, you know, like yes, sometimes it can feel people's what their archetypes might be but more so I can feel into what their Mints are and what their dominant in and when we can start feeling that we can actually start giving people permission and space to be themselves without judging them without trying to get them to be something they're not and if you meet someone who's an Earth element, you know, you need to respect that these people respect their space. They respect punctuality. They respect being a little bit more slow and Discerning and and hardworking and ambitious and Disciplined and we need to give them space to be that and to respect what they're giving to the people around them from being that and you know another way you can look at how you might have us in your life is you know, when you've slept too much and you wake up and you're feeling really heavy and lethargic. It's probably because you have too much of the element of Earth in you know, you've eaten too much and you look at it was so dense right now and heavy it's also probably because you've got too much Earth that if you're lacking Earth and Feeling really out of touch with reality. It's like how's your sleeping cycle go and have some food go and spend some time in nature. So it's starting to look at the interplay of all of the elements. So then we look to water. What is another Yen sign as I said, I'm sorry an element and water of course is the realm of emotion. It's the realm of I like to say, we've got like three levels of water kind of not that one is better than the other but as water is the archetypes of water is cancer cancer Scorpio and Pisces cancer is like our subjective emotional realm Scorpio is more to do with our soul memories and soul transformation. And then Pisces is The Ether its spirit. So these is like the interplay of water and water is a lot to do with with surrender and empathy and sensitivity spirituality creativity compassion. so watery people again, they're going to be probably a little bit more shine introverted because they're highly sensitive and they're probably not going to be the social party animal of those on the scene unless they have other elements dumb more like playing out in them too, but these people are highly creative and you know, they're really channels of downloading messages from Spirit and these people need a lot of grounding and a lot of self-care because they're usually so giving and caring to the People around them they forget to care for themselves and then we have the elements of air and this is related to our intellect. The elements of air is Yang. So it's said to be masculine and these people they like to speak a lot. They're very sociable. They have so many ideas in there trying to you know, put labels on things and understand this and understand that they're very curious people. So yeah, and then the element of fire again is Yang and again these people I like Say fire is like energy its passion its motivation its vibrant its vivacious. It's just you can feel when the fire people walk into a room because they just even without talking they have this big energy about them. They take up space. It's here to be seeing, you know fire is not a very disciplined element, but it's very good at initiating and starting things and and and having these creative impulses and insights come through and fires a look to do with courage and creativity. T so, yeah, hopefully that's a little bit more of an insight to of how you can start looking at the interplay of elements in your daily life. And I'm just feeling into yourself of what you feel dominant in what you maybe feel you need to cultivate a little bit more of your into your life as well. Yeah, and we have all of these like Signs in our chart, right? Yes, we do. So the three ways we can look at a chart that I mean, there's a lot more but we're beginning we have the planets and the planets is like the energy of the what and then we have the archetype and that is how the energy of that planet is played out and then we have the houses and the houses help us see in which realm of your life is this energy being really highlighted and an illuminated and where is it really playing out in your life? Got you. Okay, that makes a lot of sense. So I know there's like a bunch of eclipses coming up. I think like they start the 26th or something. So what can we really expect from that? Yes. Yes. I'm super happy you're asking about this because eclipse is our I would say some of the biggest astrological things we can go through in our lifetime, especially, you know, for some people you might not even feel Clips that might be like a breeze, but if it's hitting if it's aspecting an important point in your chart, meaning that the eclipse degree falls on a planet in your chart or is opposing or squaring a planet in your chart and by squaring, I mean, it's approximately 90 degrees away from another planet in the chart. Then this is going to be probably a pretty intense eclipse for you because it's going to be activating a lot of Of things inside of you. Of course. It's nothing to be. Yes for the ego. It's going to maybe be afraid but for our higher selves our higher selves is like hell. Yeah, this is the moment. I've been waiting for because I see an eclipse as fast track to Spiritual Development and evolution. So anything that you have been wanting to make changes within your life anything deep down, you know isn't serving you anything that you've been wanting to manifest sin call into your life. The eclipse comes through too. Clear out anything. That isn't an alignment. It comes out to obliterate it comes up. You know, it's just like okay. I'm going to help you out here because your ego is holding you back. So I'm going to come through and I'm going to make you get fired from this job, or I'm going to get you to quit this job, or I'm going to get this relationship to end or I'm going to you know, all these crazy an erratic things can happen around eclipses, but only for your highest good so if anything erotic does happen know that it is for your highest good because probably even if you're not aware of it on some level that saying has probably been out of alignment with your truth and your Highest Potential in this lifetime and as human beings our egos get so comfortable and attached to certain things in certain ways of being we don't even recognize that it might be holding us back from being in a greater state of being or in a greater state of happiness and joy and fulfillment because We're blocked off from seeing that so these eclipses actually come through to be like hey, there is so much more out there for you. And I'm going to help you see that but first you might have to go through a little bit of a rock bottom so that you can rebuild yourself up and be Like a Phoenix Rising From the Ashes. So before I dive into the the two eclipses coming up which are actually ending a major two-year cycle because these eclipses are happening on the Capricorn Cancer. Isis and the first there was an eclipse that happened in cancer and about 2018 in the middle of the year. And these are Clips is now coming to really finish off that cycle. So, you know, if someone was really impacted and you could say by that eclipse in 2018 and cancer like if you are a Cancer if you have any placements in cancer or in the squaring or opposing signs, this cycle is really ending up like It's a finishing up for you. Now. It's been a huge cycle. So that's exciting. But you know, let's see what's going to happen. I'm going to explain it more. But before I do I am trying to change my terminology astrologically because I don't believe that the cosmos is making us do anything. It's not affecting us in any way or necessarily influencing us because everything is interrelated, you know, everything is made of energy. Energy, and I see that the cosmos is the macrocosm and our bodies we down here where the microcosm so actually the movement and the cycles of the planets are purely reflecting. What is already happening inside of us. So we're just using them as a tool to come to a deeper understanding of what already is happening within so certain transits and by transits, I mean the movement of certain planets in relation to your birth chart. These are actually just helping us to see may be certain things that are already being activated inside of your psyche and it's helping us to see oh, you've been starting to think and feel in this way because of this because you're needing to learn this lesson because maybe this is coming for you. But again, I'm not a fortune teller. I'm just helping people to understand certain energies playing out and then they can they have freedom of choice to deal with them and whatever they want. Yeah, cool. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, so yes, we have a beautiful big total solar eclipse coming up on the 26th of December in Australia. I believe it will be the 25th in the u.s. So important points. This degree will occur at 4 degrees of Capricorn. And eclipses occur on either new or full moons, of course, it's not every new or full moon, but they happen when the Moon Earth and the the node of the Moon and when they're all in alignment with each other. So all of these planets are aligning the sun. I'm so this this is happening on the new moon in Capricorn and a new moon is when the Sun and the Moon is in conjunction, and it's involving this South node so eclipses are always involving the nodes of the moon and the nodes are not actually like physical bodies in the cosmos. They're more related to the orbit of the the moon and and it's points that you find along her orbit. So the South node is related to past karmic patterning deeply conditioned Soul memory emotional memories from usually I I'd say from previous lifetimes and these days I'm just saying from whatever lifetime your soul is currently tapped into because you know time is an illusion dimensions are overlapping. So if you think of your higher self playing a number of chess games, it's like whatever chess games your soul is currently playing, you know, so the South node helps us see any shadowy karmic outdated behavioral patterning that is holding you back from your growth. From your highest growth potential in this current Lifetime and so collectively with this new moon this solar eclipse happening in Capricorn. It's going to have a lot to do with us needing to peel away a lot of layers of a lot of I mean this has a lot to do with patriarchal conditioning because if I could say there's one archetype related to the patriarchy it would be Capricorn. So yeah. Yes, it has a lot to do with us becoming aware of prejudices, you know, all these things like even like racism things that are separating us how you know, the Rich has been really taking advantage of everyone who is in a who is poor and who doesn't have the ability to have a voice and we're going to see major things happen around these eclipses in the government and in the global Consciousness in the world. Then on a personal level it's might be a painful reality because we're going to be becoming aware of what has been holding us back in all of the lies in the deception and the outdated modes of behavior that we haven't even been aware of yet because you know when you're in it, you're not always aware of what is happening and maybe there are some people in the world that have been aware of it people who have been on a maybe more of a spiritual or conscious path. Both but those that have it and are probably going to maybe have a bit more of a shocker on this eclipse and it's in Capricorn as well. So it could have a lot to do with foundation and structure and all the foundations that you thought was safe and stable in your life, but aren't actually healthy for your authenticity might be crumbled or torn apart or ripped away from you because the universe is like no it's time for you to build a Foundation for yourself and then of course, we're bringing in the lair of the new moon. So it's even so it's like South node, which is related to like past. It's the new moon is of course setting new intentions and as so this this Eclipse is really going to be helping us to notice what needs to be cleared away so that we can create space and set new powerful intentions of what do I want the foundations in my life to look like, what do Do I want to take from the old and the traditional and how do I want to merge that with my current and present reality moving forward, you know, and it's not to say that we should be obliterating everything from the past because there are some really beautiful things about tradition that we should be holding on to Capricorn is such a grandfather grandmother Elder wise energy and space holder. But yeah, this eclipse is going to really be supporting all of us moving. Into that grandfather grandmother energy in ourselves that wisdom. Yeah. I'm eating the old and the new and I am really excited because we have been going through collectively this experience of the South node in Capricorn in the North Node in cancer. And one of the best ways I can interpret this is that collectively we are being asked to move back towards a more matriarchal Consciousness and way of being but we're wanting to find balance between the patriarch and The Matriarch were wanting to find balance between the masculine and feminine Rule and and and being you know Capricorn has been a lot more to do with like self-sufficiency ambition. I need to be my own rock. I need to succeed whereas cancers like family and home and lets you know, let's do this as a tribe. Let's do this as a family and sometimes Capricorn does need to come through and be like, okay cancer you fallen too much into the the emotional I'm like, we don't always need to be so sensitive. We can move forward and we can create a structured plan moving ahead and then cancer sometimes needs to come in and be like, hey, let's just take other people's emotions in for a second. Let's consider what where how we're going to affect the people around us. So we're finding this beautiful balance between that masculine and feminine than masculine guidance and The Feminine nurture. So also the eclipse on the 26th is To be conjunct Jupiter and Jupiter is a planet of expansion and magnetism. But whatever he touches he magnifies whether it's good or bad. So you can see this eclipse coming up is going to be really like blown up. It's like powerful and then it's also going to be in trying which is an easy flowing aspect to your honest and Uranus is this planet of Revolution and sudden and unexpected change. It is the planet of Ocean as well so we can expect definitely the unexpected with this Eclipse again. It might just feel like a breeze for some people if you change in their a few changes in their thought patterns, but for others it might be some really radical changes in their present reality again, only for the best though. Definitely. Yeah, and then following that Eclipse always after the eclipse as working about two weeks Cycles because as I said, we'll have one on the new moon and then we'll have one on the full moon. So this one's really coming through to finish up this cycle and that's happening in the full moon in cancer on the 11th of January. I believe it will be the 10th in America and reading from my astrology software. I found it to be happening at 19 degrees of cancer. That's when it will be in opposition to because when it's the full moon the sun and the moon are in opposition and the Sun is Illuminating. Aiding the wholeness of the moon so it's important to remember the eclipse degrees so that you can go and check where it's going to be falling in your birth chart. So you want to see where is 4 degrees Capricorn in my birth chart and where is 19 degrees of cancer in my birth chart because that will be the eclipse degree the eclipse point in your chart and then you can see what house it might be in and yeah if it is going to be hitting any of the planets in Your chart so yeah the eclipse coming up in the on the 11th of January randos cancer. Well visit again, it's going to be such an emotional one because cancer is probably the most emotionally sensitive archetype in the Zodiac and the computer for thing here is that the North Node is or to do with where we're wanting to move towards for our Liberation and growth and collectively as a community. It's sort of like what I was just saying, it's Moving back into the heart moving back into the womb moving back into more of a maternal nurturing nourishing energy and how can you be inviting more of that into your life? Where have you been lacking emotional support from your tribe and the people around you and how can you also be more caring to the people around you and also valuing vulnerability and no longer seeing it as a weakness but seeing Vulnerability as a strength and not being afraid to again step into that authentic emotional state of being so this North Node is helping us to invite all of this fresh energy and and because it's in a for Moon, we're probably going to be having giving birth to some big emotional releases during this time, but seeing it as a really just beautiful experience. I should say to really honor honor this eclipse in cancer. Um again, there might be some pain surfacing because the eclipse the full moon during this time is going to be quite close to conjunct being in conjunction to Saturn and Pluto and when I say conjunction, it just means that the planets are so close together. It's almost like their energies are being Blended in a smoothie. So you're getting a taste of all of them and this Saturday Pluto conjunction is really going to be a big one coming up at the beginning of next year. Here, I mean the last time I think when Saturn and Pluto were in opposition was when the Twin Towers went down or some major terrorist attack happened like major. Yeah, and now they're in conjunction and so collectively, you know, I don't know what could happen but major things that need to shift for us to finally step away. From satin car toxic patriarchal Illusions. Can I say and come into leading the world and moving forward in a more healthy and nurturing way and that also means coming back to nurturing the earth. I mean, I think globally wasting all of these crazy things happen in our environment at the moment. I mean in Australia, we've just been having the craziest fires bushfires. And globally the climate is just changing a lot as well. So so hopefully whatever happens it's going to be helping us to really realize oh shit. It's time to really start making some changes happen, but it's good. You know, sometimes we have to become aware of this acute pain within ourselves because people sometimes with their lives, you know Easier by being oblivious or neglecting the truth of certain circumstances, and for those of you who've maybe turned vegetarian or vegan you probably experience that deep pain. And you realized oh shit. I've been what I've been doing. Like my whole life has been really painful for me to notice that and that's why I during this Eclipse. Some people might be coming to these realizations of oh my God. I cannot believe I've been living like this and allowing this to happen to my life in my life to my family to the collective. But no, yeah. It's an exciting time. I'd say as well, but just welcoming any changes I'd say princes don't being you know welcoming them for the best of our planet Earth and for the collective. Yeah, I'm really excited about the eclipses because I know like even the past ones this Summer that they were like a huge shift for me and it really does like make you move forward and your growth even though it's really uncomfortable and maybe you don't want to do it. But yeah, I really love this what to expect. I don't know but I'm definitely gonna be searching up like where my Capricorn and Cancer are in my charge and being like okay stuff might go down. Yeah. Yeah, seeing right will be illuminated and a nice message. It just came through for me as well. But with the second eclipse in cancer, just thinking of a mirror like me revision and seeing how this this Moon that's going to be conjunct Saturn and Pluto and everything and then that North Node sorry the sun will be conjunct Saturn and Pluto. The moon will be conjunct the North Node that's like this beautiful mirror of what can be and then the the sun conjunct Saturn and Pluto is what was so it's like this eclipse is going to be showing us what was in the past and what what is now going to be and what can be in the future and it's like choosing to take that leap into the new rather than being sucked back into the old. Yeah, I definitely think it's going to be quite a powerful quite a powerful couple of weeks that we have ahead of us. Yeah, I just like to keep it real. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. I'm sure it was a bit of a mouthful. It's a lot to take in because that's just a there's just a lot of it. I don't know there's a lot to learn from astrology because it's not just like this one little tiny piece of Information it's like this very complex system. Yeah, there's so much very constantly adjusts new downloads coming through and for all the astrologers and humans on this Earth You know, there's new ways of understanding and astrology mutates and changes as Global Consciousness and our and our societies down here change, you know, so it's like it's in a constant co-creation and mutation and transformation. For sure, so I know besides a storm apology you do talk about like conscious movement and dancing and what exactly is that in? Like what is that consists of for you and your practice Yeah, that's really beautiful and happy we're touching on this. So I grew up dancing. I always grew up a little bit of a performer and it's just Thing I've always held really closely to my heart and I think when I went to a bud for the first time, we have a big dance Community their conscious dance community and something that first pops into my head is coming back to move from the inside out and not the outside in and it's about really being able to shut down your eyes and firstly for recognize our such a huge stigma around dancing. seeing and really trying to step away from that because dance can even be you moving still sometimes, you know, it's this is this healing ability to close your eyes and to begin to very subtly and gently feel into it's almost like a meditation feeling to what is needing to move through the body and I'm companying that with a piece of music forgetting what it looks like externally and just really becoming so aware of the delicacy of the fingers and Every single part of the body starting to move and just almost being taken by the music possessed by the music and allowing yourself to step out of the mind and into the body and it's such a healing experience. It's one of the ways that I find myself coming into presence and being able to just completely step out of this Earth realm for a moment. So I think we all can find different gateways, but from mine. Definitely through dance and movement and for me as well working with women. It's allowing ourselves to awaken pleasure and sensuality in the body again, and the subtle awareness of pleasure receptors in the sensations of pleasure and sensuality and sensuality. I don't mean like just being like sexual. I actually mean it in being able to touch taste feel here and coming back into that and really just enjoying I mean, you know, all the Taurus is out there know what I mean. Just enjoying those little subtle Simple Pleasures in life sort of movement and touch and beauty and yeah for me it's so healing in that way and it's very important for me to bridge that into my astrology so already in my workshops. I am offering embodiment practices, but I am wanting to dive deeper into actually beginning to dance with the planet. So Whirring the energy of the planets because astrology is so much more than just the intellectual wisdom. And when I'm teaching there is so much intellectual information. I'm wanting to people to also download the information into the body and to accompany the intellectual information with heartfelt practice. Yeah. Yeah. I really like that. That's very like so special to be reconnecting with your ADI and that way because even like dancing a lot of people especially if they're like sober they won't want to do it then we like oh heck. No, that's not for me. I have to be like, I don't know I don't drink so I don't know five beers in before they can like dance or have a good time. But I really like that just connecting with your body and really feeling it and what needs to be like moving out and just really getting in touch with that and that's just so powerful to be even doing just simply as a practice that everyone can do to really reconnect with themselves. Totally and I think it's so interesting because out of most of the art forms. I feel like dances the one that has the biggest stigma around it in the sense that people really respect and honor someone when they're sharing maybe they're painting or they're drawing or even I mean I guess singing as well can be a little bit tricky. But with dads I've found people to have the most judgment around moving their bodies. And even like I've been when I was first starting out on this journey, I've even been like bullied online for sharing videos of myself dancing because I guess yeah P there is a bit of a stigma around it in society and some people don't understand that it's so safe and okay to just be silly and just get into your body and just Over and if anyone feels resistance around that I say that you you go for it like you have to do it because anywhere we're feeling a lot of resistance is usually where we should be exploring to step into your worth. You know, that's the end goal to just keep choosing high self-worth. So if you're afraid to do something because you're low self-worth is holding you back then be like, hey Universe even though I'm afraid about this. I'm not going to let it hold me back. I'm still gonna go and do it anyways. Oh, yeah, like even if it's just like dancing in your robe go for it. Just put on your favorite song and Just Dance away. Yes, exactly. Get it out better out than in definitely. So how would you advise the listeners to reconnect with themselves? Oh, beautiful. so what do I want to say this so many things but I mean if you're looking to reconnect with yourself for me, it would be getting to know yourself. And of course Beyond astrology Beyond dance. I think that having the end goal of stepping into your authenticity, which doesn't just mean the cliche like oh just be yourself. It's actually going and doing Shadow work is probably what I would say going and looking at all of the aspects of self that you've been modeled as bad that were bad or told to reject during childhood because this is where you are not in your authenticity right now any part of yourself that you're afraid to step into Is actually keeping you from being in your authenticity. It doesn't mean that you have to actively be acting out some of these shadowy qualities, but it's about owning them and being like hey, I'm a human. I'm made up of all qualities in this in the spectrum of Being Human. So I'm going to own that I am not and that is a part of me and starting to really honor all of these aspects of self that you know it doing it for your inner child like when your inner child as younger and maybe got bullied for something going back and loving her in that moment rather than allowing that wounding to keep inhibiting you from being yourself in present time because then you're just still communicating to your inner child that she is not worthy of being herself in this moment and you're letting the external validation of people around you to have power over you and that's not what your soul has come here to do its come here to be itself. Yes, so also to connect them with one's self. I just always go I'll of self-care. I'm like spend a lot of my time on self-care. So just finding like a beautiful set of products that you because you know what I think it's important to be working with products that really that you are in so in love with that you wake up in your excited to like put on this beautiful body oil or facial oil and you're like, oh I just feel like a goddess, you know, I think that's another really beautiful. Edible way to connect back to yourself, but actually finding things that you like not just doing it because you know is good for you. Yeah, definitely definitely. So where can people find you?
