Healing The Spirit: Astrology, Archetypes & Artmaking – Details, episodes & analysis

How do we hold the complexity of arriving at simplicity? How does becoming aware of love's presence help us transform fear into wisdom? How does working with our emotional pain assist with returning us to innocence?

The theme for September is Arriving at Simplicity. 

The route to simplicity is often anything but simple. It can be riddled with confusion, chaos, and doubt. 

In this episode, I share some contemplations for us to return to throughout the month. 

September 2024 starts with a New Moon in Virgo. It ends with the Sun conjoining the North Node in Libra. In between, we have the Full Moon in Pisces, which ushers the second eclipse season of the year, and Mars entering Cancer.

What is the open throat center in Human Design? How do we work with its unique gifts and challenges in the process of deconditioning?

The open / undefined throat is one of my favorite topics in Human Design. 

It's said that only 29% of the population has an open throat center, making it the least common out of the open centers. Unsurprisingly (and pun intended), there's a lot of misconceptions, misunderstandings, and, frankly, terrible advice about how to live with an open throat center.

In this episode, I share about my process understanding, deconditioning, and ultimately befriending my undefined throat.

Thank you Kelsey Rose Tortorice for the question! You can listen to my conversation with Kelsey here. She also has incredible courses to help you learn Human Design, Human Design for the Astrologically Minded and Living Your Design. 

I also mentioned my HD teachers, Amy Lee and John Cole of Human Design Collective whose foundational courses on Human Design I highly recommend.

I've been sitting on this episode for some time. 

I've known that the podcast wanted to shapeshift since the beginning of the year, but I didn't know exactly what Healing The Spirit 2.0 will look like so I stayed devoted to the rhythm we've established.

This week, it became clear that the first right move is to pause the weekly contemplations to create space for new pursuits, explorations, and most importantly, experiments.

This summer, we'll be playing with new formats, new rhythms, new approaches. 

I invite you to join me in the mystery ride.

How do we know when enough is enough? How does true nourishment differ from compulsion? What resources do we need to hold our experiences with compassion without rushing to believe them as absolute truth? 

In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.

While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 04.17.23, I also offer the possibility that that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future.

What can the archetype of Jupiter in Aries teach us about our inner teacher and our inner child? What does it mean to accept the responsibility of teaching what ourselves how to be our own advocate? How do we work with our potential? 

From December 20, 2022 to May 16, 2023, Jupiter is in Aries. To honor the halfway point of this transit, I invited my dear friend, Shahir Shukor aka. Suprasensory Shahir to discuss their thoughts and reflections on what this transit can bring for us.

Shahir is a fellow Gemini Moon and we covered a wide range of topics in this conversation. We discussed the archetype of Jupiter in Aries, its contrasts with Jupiter in Pisces (which we’ve been swimming in for some time), and how the desires of our inner youth can be our inner teachers.

We also discussed Shahir’s relationship with spirit guides and angels, how their spirituality and queerness intersects and interacts, and the bridge role that the spirit worker plays in sessions between the seen and the unseen realms.

Here's Shahir’s bio: 

Shahir is a love devotee, a queer muslim brown mystic who believes in love in everything. Shahir shows up as an astrologer, tarot reader and spirit guide connector, by tapping into their claircognizant and clairsentience gifts.
