Okay, let's talk about the original enemies to lovers story. Before all of our reality TV couples, before the rom-coms, we binge, there was Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy in pride and prejudice. And Audible has just dropped a brand new original that will have you completely hooked, I am. It's not just any audiobook. This is a full cast performance. So Marisa Abella, you might know her from industry, brings Elizabeth Bennett to life.

And Harris Dickinson from Baby Girl and Where the Crawdads Sing is Mr. Darcy. And honestly, the chemistry, you guys, it's everything. Plus, you've got icons like Glenn Close, Bill Nye and Will Polter in the mix. Talk about a dream cast. Now, what I love is how Marissa pulls you right into Lizzie's world, her stubbornness, her wit, her messy family dynamics, and of course, her complicated feelings for Darcy. And with a vibrant new adaptation and original score by Grammy-nominated composer, it just feels so fresh and modern while still keeping that timeless Jane Austen charm.

So whether it's your first time experiencing Pride and Prejudice or you've read it a million times, you're going to fall absolutely in love all over again. So go listen to Pride and Prejudice now at audible.ca slash Jane Austen. This episode of Off the Vine is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Today's guest is one of my favorite people to follow, maybe top three people to follow on Instagram. He's an astrologer, intuitive, freaking genius, and a fellow Canadian Gemini. So obviously we bonded. And he came all the way from Portugal to Nashville just for me for this podcast. So Chris Krasini is with me in the studio today. We get into all things astrology and how we can use it to prepare ourselves for different stages

of our life. It's actually quite magical. And I think you'll learn a lot. I listened back and was like, wait, I didn't even know I needed the message that he was giving me at the time until I listened back. So take it for what it is. Enjoy. Thank you for coming into Nashville. Wait, you're not Canadian, are you? You're also. Canadian, right? I know. Canadian girlies. Oh my gosh, just a couple Canadian girlies on the pod. Wait, where are you from? I'm from Ontario. Okay. Which is, obviously, you know where that is. But like Toronto, like an hour west. Yeah, I grew up in Ancaster.

Where did you grow up? La Duke, Alberta. Okay, that I had no idea what that is. It's basically the Edmonton airport. Oh, okay. So it's just outside of Edmonton. How was that? Adorable. Oh, yeah, it sounds cute.

It was cute. Looking back, I'm like, oh, I love that it was just this little shitty town. Right. and really not a lot to do except for use your imagination. I grew up figure skating and dancing and I don't know, it was just a fun small town that I love people who are from small towns. I feel like they just have a vibe.

They do. Yeah, Ancaster was, especially when I was growing up, definitely a small town. And over time, it's like grown because it's a beautiful little spot. But I also grew up dancing. I don't... Yeah, dancing, theater, like all of that shit.

I love it. Me too. I was the fiddler on the roof once. Oh, what? Yeah! I had to, like, put my hair up in a cap and look like a boy, and then fake played the violin while the orchestra played it for me. Oh, no. Violin, fiddle, obviously.

And one time, the lights were all out, and it was the night that I decided to invite the boy I had a crush on. Okay. And a bunch of family and friends were there. And the lights come on, and I wasn't on the roof yet. And I was, like, halfway up, and my leg was, like, on top of the roof, but I hadn't, and I was, like, pulling myself up, and everybody was laughing. That sounds traumatizing. It actually was, but you know, it's even worse, is I embarrassed myself again for the second time because I go, I wanted to be on stage for a long time, and I was supposed to run off stage

because this fight scene breaks out, and I was supposed to run off stage, but I was like, well, I want to stay on stage longer, so I'm going to take the long way around. I got in the middle, got pushed, and I face planted the same night. Oh, that is so embarrassing for you. I'm so sorry. And I get embarrassed easily, and that, like, still haunts me to this day of, like, probably the most embarrassing thing that's happened to me. Well, now you have a Dancing with the Stars

trophy right there, so jokes on them. Jokes on them, that's true. Do you see that in the bottom of my mirror there? There's a... Oh, yeah, the disco ball photo with the dog. So I put that in my mirror before I even went on Dancing with the Stars. Oh, just like a vision board thing.

Yeah, no, that works. Like, when I tell people to, like, visualize and to... Like, there's a whole other level of, like, feeling the emotion to, like, draw it in magnetically. But, like, just having it to look at all the time is key. This house, by the way, is so beautiful. Thank you. Is this, like, this is your house? Yeah. Yeah. Wow.

I bought it seven years ago. I've really turned the beat around in here, because these... Turned the beat around. Oh, my God. He used to be like all brown. Oh, oh, no, this is not brown. This is great. Thank you. And even, like, just when I was driving in, it's almost like a gated community or something. I was like, oh, oh, this is that. You also sending me, like a Beyonce

black SUV. I was just like, excuse me. I sent it to Danny message. I was like, this bitch knows what's up. Yeah. She knows how to, yeah. See Alicia? Did you hear that? He said, I felt like I was a Beyonce in a black car.

Like, she knows what's up. I'm like, I told Alicia, I was like, you got to get him a black car. That's like the professional thing to do. It's so funny. I was like literally peeing like moments before I ran out. And I was like, I'll make you about there's going to be a giant black SUV out there. And I walked out. I was like, there we go.

I'm thinking like, don't pick me up with the four seasons in like a minivan. Cat hair Toyota. You know? I was like, I'm the worst. I always get the worst. first ubers, and I take Uber all the time, and I tip well, and I'm like, I have a high rating, too, as like an Uber. What is your rating? Oh, true. Should we compare?

Yeah, let's compare Uber rating. 4.7. No, you've got it 4.7 in zero? In zero. What? No, it's out of five. Five stars. And my rating is 4.7. Well, I'm confused. Oh, wait. Am I confused? Well, mine's 4.85. Oh. And mine's just 4.70 then, I guess. Yeah, okay. So I win.

wait how do you get is it because you're cute or like what is they're probably like she's a celebrity it's her five like I don't I don't know I actually I've never thrown up I never I don't like fart in the back like I know I always wonder what it is I'm like my brain goes why do I not have a five why do I not have a five star radio you know what I bet it's because I'm that person who like never talks like I'm so me either talkative and like I'm quite like charismatic and like if you get me in the right setting or like if I'm with people that I trust like I'm like I never shut up but then it's like you put me in a group of people that I don't know and I said they're like it I'm like, I feel I get so shut down.

It's, I don't know what that, maybe that's social anxiety. Oh, I'm 4.72. Okay. So, creeping on up on you. Coming for you. I was at 4.87 once, and I was like, how did I get docked two points? Like, I make sure I don't slam the doors. I make sure I'm, like, friendly.

If they're, like, going a certain way and my way says something else, I'm like, I'm like, let them choose their own venture. Yeah. I'm like, okay, fine. I did one time. I was like, oh, you should go left here. And they were like, okay, fine. and they went left.

When I tell you, we hit a traffic jam for 40 minutes. No. If I was look at me in the mirror. Actually, true. That's probably why I'm a 4.72. It was like that guy two years ago. Now we've, yeah, now we found the reason. Crack the code, got it.

We got to the root of the issue. Oh, God. So anyways, thank you for the nice Uber. Oh, you're so welcome. You are Beyonce to me. I was just telling somebody on the phone earlier today, you're one of my favorite people to follow on Instagram. Oh, thank you.

Yes. I don't know sign language. And you doing it somehow makes me more engaged with what you're saying. It is a little, like, captivating. Yeah, like, I get a lot of people who are like, at first I didn't know what you were doing. And some people, oh, my God, so embarrassing for some people, they'll be like, chill with the hands. Like, you don't have to be so dramatic. And I'm like, if you can't understand that this is sign language, I don't know what to tell you.

Like, seriously. I'm like, this doesn't look like I'm just like, I'm not just throwing your hands around. It's like, oh my God. That's, oh, that's embarrassing for them. So embarrassing. But it is captivating. And it adds another level of. like storytelling which I love because I'm a Gemini which is like the storyteller and it's just

like I said I grew up dancing and I was in theater and all the stuff so like I really love the playfulness of the sign language and just how it visually present like it's just beautiful it really is it really is and we should probably acknowledge and thank the ASL interpreter that's going to do this podcast yeah what made you get into sign language yeah so long story short in high school we had a couple deaf students yeah and their interpreter set up a sign language club. So I was always kind of just like trying my best. And then my friend was like, oh, they just started a sign language club. Shout out to Alex Springer. And she was like, let's go. Like, we can learn language. We can talk to them. We can also have like a secret language.

Totally. You can cheat on tests. I'm like, bitch, I'm down. So I was like, I sign up. And then I just like excelled at it. I was, yeah, I picked it up really easily. I loved it. I then did some placements. And I played all through high school with the language with learning it. And then I went to George Brown College in Toronto and I did a three-year program there. I failed one semester, so keep going. And then, yeah, I graduated. There was like seven of us that graduated out of like 35, like 400 go to the screening and only 30 get it. Like it's a really intense crazy program. And then I graduated and I worked professionally as an American Sign Language interpreter for the deaf community for like 12 years or 10 years or something like that. Yeah. And then were you always

intuitive and into astrology or how did that come about? Yeah. So, So when I was probably like 13 or 14, I bought a tarot deck just because I remember seeing it and being like, weird, I want one of those. So I grabbed it. And then I remember playing with it and I saw like the death card. And I was like, oh, and I like stopped. And I was like, oh, my God. Put it away.

So, yeah, that just kind of happened like that. And then I kind of circled back to it later. But prior to that, I grew up in a really haunted house. And oh, my God, like I would see kids. I would see people. No way. Walk through a man. Like, yeah.

And then when communicating that to people, and this is how we all kind of get so disconnected from our true selves and our gifts and everything. When you start talking to your parents and talking to your teachers and talking to people, but everyone's like, you're crazy. You're not seeing things. Shut up. There's no boogeyman. There's no one in the window. And I'm just like, okay, fine, I'm crazy. And it's like, I'm actually not crazy.

You're all crazy. It's like, I'm real clear. So, yeah, I just like, I grew up seeing ghosts. I sort of fell into astrology. after the taro really started taking off and all of that was after this really intense like dark night of the soul that I went through um in college which was like oh my god probably a three or four year process which was wild and I was like really into drugs really into drinking like sex just party like everything I like definitely have like full blown addictive tendencies um so yeah

like through that I went to get help and I met Dawn who is my mentor who's this like 70 year old gay psychic wizard and he just, I started doing sessions with him twice a week for like two years and he just like opened me up psychically and every time I would do a reading or I would talk or I'd pick something up, he would always just be looking at me like, you're good. I was like, oh, thanks. And then yeah, that was like just the response from people as I'm pulling cards for friends and family. And then I started charging for it.

And then I took it online. And then the pandemic like literally went from, oh my God, like 3,000 to like 100,000, like in 60 days. And then from there, it's just been like nonstop. I also was like, it was when IGTV was competing with YouTube. Yep. So like the extended video content, like was really working in my favor. Of course.

And it's good content. Right. So it was just the perfect storm. And now the algorithms changed. And we still have, you know, we still grow, but it's like a different game. It really is a whole other world now with the algorithm and shit. It stresses me out. You really are, the word I keep thinking is captivating.

You really are captivating. And if you do, you obviously. probably have such a unique community, too, because you attract so many different types of audiences. But I feel like astrology and kind of like people wanting to learn more about who they are is such a thing now, which I am obsessed with. And so it's so cool that you happen to fall on a tarot card deck and go, I think this is for me. I remember the first time, and this is why I always say, like, just do it, just try it, just see what comes from it. Like, if it's not what leads you to the thing that you want, it's going to

be a door opener that will lead you to another door that will open, et cetera, et cetera. So, like, just follow your gut and do it. And, like, the first time I ever did readings on Instagram, um, I did all 12 signs at once on Instagram live. And I was sweating my ass off. It was like, two and a half hours and me being like, oh, I was so nervous. And I just, I remember shutting it off and being like, oh my God, I'm a mess. Like, that was terrible. I'm a exhausted. Like, I don't even think people were interested. And the next day I woke up and there was, like, 1,200 views and, like, 150 comments or something. And at that time, I only had, like, a thousand followers. And people were like, this is so accurate and crazy. And I was like, wait a minute. What the fuck just happened? So then I started doing it. And it's like, then from there, just the skill also developed. I became way more comfortable. And totally. Yeah. So it just kind of like took on a life of its own. I love that. It's crazy. I wish I could be on the level that you're on with it because it's, no, with. With astrology, well, with everything, actually, all of it. Because I'm just so fascinated by it.

It does something to my whole body. Like, I feel I went to this lady recently in L.A. And when she just is even turning over those cards, like, my body feels different. It's such an extension of you, too. And, like, as you're able to start exploring these deeper levels of, like, your psyche and your traumas and your hopes and fears and, like, all this thing, it just starts illuminating all these, like, cracks. And I think that even if it's something that you don't want to hear,

It's like, if it's going to rain, I'm going to tell you to bring an umbrella. You know, it's like, this is just going to help you prepare. Yes. And the best thing is that, like, now you're aware. And the worst thing is now you're aware. Right. I want to know how you feel about TikToks where, you know how sometimes they come up? It happens to me all the time.

It'll be like, if this is no accident that you've come across this TikTok, like, this is for you. Is that true? Yeah. So yes and no. Like, I think we're living in a time where people know that that is an attention grabber. Right. So they do it. And it's like that kind of throws me off.

However, there is definitely something to be said about you synchronistically coming across information that is helpful and does support you on your journey. So yes, but like now with just YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, everything being so like overwhelmed with like, you know, psychics and fake readers and then like fake psychics and fake astrologers but real astrologers, like it's such a mixed bag that I think everybody's just going to be like, if you find this message, it's for you. And it's like, you know how many messages I find? every day. It's like, but I think you do also need to just feel into like, oh, is there something

about this person that like is like, it's so weird. I don't know how to explain it. It's like when you meet somebody for the first time and there's like that soul recognition, it's usually in the left eye, which is, you know, said to be tied to the soul. And it's like, the left eye is like, oh, wow. Like, I see you and you see me. And like, that is a recognition on a higher level. And we're now manifesting in front of each other. Like, we need to explore this. And sometimes we confused that with like a soulmate or a twin flame or this is a great connection and like I've had that and then I've gone through the experience and they have been some of the like quote unquote worst you know vengeful angry people that have done like crazy shit that like in the end those were

the biggest teachers for me and those were the people that helped me get through another level of my own journey and whatever so like that's where I was recognizing it is that I was like oh you're a teacher for me right and sometimes you know 10% of the time those teachers are like beautiful and lovely and they come in this little package and you're just and you make love to them and you have it a great experience. And then like the other, you know, 80, 90% is just like, this is going to be a challenge or this is not going to go the way I think it's going to go. And so I think also that's on us to not like project onto people like, oh, I see you. You see me. We recognize each other on a sole level. And like, that must mean that you're my man. That must mean

that you're my everything. And like now I'm going to put all my hopes and dreams on you. And then it creates this whole thing, you know? So like, yeah, I think to bring it back to like the TikTok thing is like, if you're scrolling and you see somebody that you're like, oh, there actually is something that I really do feel drawn to about this person. Right. Then yeah, like, listen. But then it always comes back to like your own self empowerment. Like is what they're giving you something you're just going to take and run with? Or are you going to digest that and say like, this actually isn't my message. Right. Because like, even for me, like I'm talking to, I mean, across all platforms over a million people. And it's like, if. If we are doing readings for a million people, every single month, you're not going to be like every point is for me, you know? And it's like there's so many people watching. So it is a mixed bag. So it always comes down to like us needing to filter through that information regardless. And that's just more empowering for ourselves too. I love that answer.

I really love that answer. That's kind of how I was taking it. If it wasn't for me, I'd just keep scrolling. But sometimes it would really hit and I would be like, holy shit, I was meant to see that. Right. And that is validating. Totally. Yeah.

I just got chills. Like, yeah, and you know when it, like, when it lands, it's either something that you're like, oh, I don't want to hear that. It's like, okay, trigger. So, like, that is for you. Right. Or I find, like, indifference or, like, neutrality is when you're just like, this isn't really for me. Right.

But when there's, like, a charge behind it or when there's, like, a hope or there's, like, an expansion or a contraction, it's probably for you. I love that. Yeah. I love that. And we're both Gemini's. Oh, what? I didn't know that.

I'm Gemini. When's your birthday? My birthday is 6-6. So June 6, yeah, when's yours? I'm 619. Oh, you're like a cusp Gemini cancer. Uh-huh. Yeah, that explains the beautiful home.

Really? Yeah, cancer is such like, this room is so Gemini cancer cusp because it's like we have all the technology, we have all the communication happening, we have like the streaming, and then we've also got like the cozy lush. Like everyone thinks that Taurus and Libra because they're ruled by Venus is like so lush and and they are. But also like cancer is like, oh my God. Cancer is, like, such a divo.

They want, like, the softest, the best quality. They want to feel at home and cozy. So, like, this whole room is, like, very Gemini cancer. Yeah, I love that. Cool. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Like, if I was to be listening to you talk about Gemini, but then you also go move on to cancer, should I listen to both and combine them?

It does. Because, like, nothing in this world is, like, stagnant and stuck, right? Everything is fluid. So, like, when you look at a cusp energy or somebody who's born in, like, it's called the third deacon, which is, so that slice of Gemini, for example, has three slices inside of it. Okay. So there's the first slice, which is the first deacon, the second deacon, and the third deacon. Okay.

And then the next one, Cancer, also has three slices in that slice. Okay. First deacon, second deacon, third deacon. So when you look at anybody, this is how I see it, when you look at anybody who falls in the first or the third deacon, which is not that middle slice it's the two outside slices those two outside slices blend with the other

outside slices of the next one you know what I mean so when you're in a cusp you're sort of in that last chunk of the sign and that last chunk of the sign blends into the next chunk of the next sign so there is an overlap in energy

because again everything is fluid so like me I'm 6-6 which is June sixth. I'm like dead smack in the middle. Right. I am second deacon. Yeah. I'm the middle slice of Gemini. I'm like Gemini, Gemini energy. Yeah. But you being at the 19th, you're in that last end of it, right? So that last end overlaps with the next one. So yeah, you have that Cancerian. Again, like I said, the home, the lush. And like we could look at your chart and see sort of like where your Venus is, where your Mercury is, where your Mars is, you're rising because

all of these elements are going to play. Venus is going to be more love. Mars is going to be what you sort of fight for and protect and how you take action. Rising is like what you're moving through. Sun is how you present and how people see you. The moon is how you process your emotions. And it's like, so it all paints this picture. But if you are a cusp, a cusper, I would call it, which is like, yeah, being around maybe the 18th-ish, 18th to the 19th up until like the 24th.

Yeah. Like within that sort of week span, I think, yeah, if your birthday falls there, you're pretty much overlapping with something. Everything I know about Gemini and cancer, I'm like, that is me. Yeah. I want to say my moon is cancer. Mine too. Really?

Yeah. And my son's Gemini. Okay, yeah, same. Oh, wait. Are we twins? What's your rising? It says Gemini Cancer Cancer. Your ascendant is cancer also?

Yeah. Gemini's son. Yeah, so you're double cancer. Okay, again, so that explains the house. everything. Yeah, for sure. But cancer energy is so beautiful because it's, and I have like my Venus, my Chiron, my progressed sun, my Mars and my moon are all in cancer. So like I really connect with the cancerian energy, which is like, it's a cardinal water sign. So we are so led by our emotions. We are so like, when we feel something, it's like, it takes us an extra second to be like,

wait a second. I need to like maybe not act on this. Because it's like, as soon as it comes up, it's like this tidal wave, like a tsunami, right? Like a tsunami is that cardinal water. Cardinal is like leadership, taking action, moving forward, driving forces. So like this cardinal water or any cardinal energies in general, which is going to be Libra, Cancer, Aries, and Capricorn, those signs, especially right now, because they're being activated with the North Node and the South node, which we can talk about in a minute. Yeah. But like those signs, are all the leaders, the starters, the initiators. So any of those signs, when they feel something, it's like they want to act.

They want to do. But then because the cancerian energy cancers are ruled by water, it's so emotional for us. It's a lot. We also take everything so personally, like, it's crazy. It's somebody will like, it'll have nothing to do with me. And they'll leave the room and I'll just be like, that person. If they just said that to me and somebody would be like, what are you talking about? Nothing to do with you.

I'm like, if they hate me, I know they hate me. It's just like, we take everything so personally. But we also, like, love the deepest. We, like, infuse ourselves with, like, Pisces does this, too, where it's just, like, we completely intertwined. So then for us to, like, detach from people or detach from situations, and we're so nostalgic. Or we're so, like, I was crying, but I didn't cry hard enough, so I'm going to listen to the song again. It's like, that's such cancer energy.

I do that. No, babe's safe. I literally do that. I try and see it as like that's just who I am, but sometimes I do feel like I'm overly sensitive. You are. So do I just own that? Yeah, because like that works really well for us when we are in a space of like caretaking or like you are probably the type of person who like knows what that person needs before they even know what they need. And then you can start to like help them and nurture them and whatever because again that cancer energy and any of the water signs are very nurturing.

It's very like motherly energy, especially for cancer. I'm so over, like, fighting myself for being just who I am naturally. And I've been in enough relationships where people are like, you're too sensitive or you're to this or you're too, and I'm just like, if I'm too much, then bye, like, I don't know what to tell you. Like, maybe you're not enough and maybe your shit, you're projecting onto me because, like, I'm so, like, confident and comfortable in who I am. And I just, like, flow.

And, like, I don't, like, I just kind of recently started hanging out with this guy. And, like, I don't really know. where it's gonna go and he lives somewhere else and whatever but like we had such a beautiful like week together and I was just at first I was like oh like I shouldn't hold his hand like I should like I should like I should like create some boundary here because like I don't want to come off too strong and then like literally day two I was like this like I'm so lovey-dovey like we're driving to my car I'm like we're it was like we're an old merry couple I'm literally like holding his hand like everything that I want to do yeah and and it was beautiful and he didn't care he wasn't like weird about it he was

he probably loved it yeah he was like this great Like, and now we're cool. I don't know where that's going to go. And, like, that's the other thing. I'm so over, like, projecting my, like, hopes and fears and insecurities and creating a story about, like, where this could go and all this stuff. And I'm like, I'm just, like, not attached to any outcome anymore. My therapist told me the other day it's something that I was like, wow, that is so true.

She goes, you have this confidence and you know who you are because you've worked on yourself so much. She goes, but the second you doubt yourself, you let all fears creep in and you change your own story. We also are scared of, like, stepping into our power fully and, like, out of fear that, like, if we show up, if we're strong, if we're big, if we're loud, like, are we going to be attacked, ridiculed, taken down? And then there's this whole other level of, like, I don't want to lean into the good that I'm creating and to fully accept it and to, like, really live my life in that, like, highest expression. Because, like, what if I lose at all? What if the other shoe drops? And it's, like, we would rather self-sabotage literally as a way of protecting.

ourselves from losing what we think we could lose if we were to get it in the first place. Damn. Why are we like that? I know. I don't know why. It's conditioning, programming, fear, it's insecurity. Like, there's a lot of reasons why, yeah. I'm really working on it.

I think that's all you can do, right? Yeah. Save me. Yeah, literally. I want to talk to you about the moon because I feel such a powerful connection to the moon. Like, my period happens around there. For sure it does. Oh, okay.

As it should. Really? Well, okay, sorry. Like, yeah, because there's going to be a bunch of. women that's like, mine does it. No, it's okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, everyone has their own cycle.

Yeah. But, yes, I know a lot of highly intuitive, um, energy workers and psychic people and just regular people who are also very intuitive. And yeah, they are very synced up with that cycle. Yeah. Like my best friend, like almost like clockwork, like ding, full moon, period drops. It's like crazy. Alicia and I both, I'll be like, why is my period early and why am I feeling this way?

And then I'm like, oh, it's a full moon. moon, holy shit, it happened again. It's crazy. Why is the moon so powerful? Honestly, the moon, this is going to get all like conspiracy theory and like woo-woo a little bit. But like, there is so much weird talk about the moon being like not entirely real. Also this whole other conversation, which like I believe the moon is real. I believe it is a rock. I believe it is really floating there. Like it's real. We can see it absolutely. But then there's this whole other conversation about it being quote unquote, like, placed there. And I think when people talk about that, I think it gets misconstrued.

I think that, you know, millions of years ago or whatever the timeline was, is like, when Earth was being established and these higher energies were at play and aliens and entities and other beings were, you know, creating this space, so to speak, because this is actually a school where we all can come and learn and engage, right? And aliens are real. Go watch the U.S. whatever. Like, they finally announced it. But it's like, we've known that forever.

Aliens are real. There are other beings or other entities. And the word entity is triggering and scary. It just means like something that is there that you can't see. It's like a form of energy, whatever. You know what I mean? So there are high vibrational entities also. But the moon, I believe, yeah, I think maybe something somewhere did place it into our space. And it became part of our orbit.

I don't know if it was like always necessarily there. But like part of the energy that bounces off of it and reflects off of it. And like part of just, I mean, even the. the tides. Like if you think about the power that it has over the ocean and like our bodies are what 70, 80% water. It's like, of course the moon is bringing our emotions up. Of course we're tied to that cycle. And it's such a beautiful opportunity for us to like track the cycles of our life and where the new moons are, where the full moons are, where the eclipses are. And this is again, like, what I teach and this is why I do the workshops. So that like for the new moon, this is what we're talking about

during this new moon. This is a new moon in Leo. So this is about like standing in your power, taking your power back. This is about speaking your truth and living from the heart and expressing yourself and being creative. And like, this new moon is also happening with Venus retrograde in Leo. And this is the real new moon that we just had like a month ago or whatever. Like, all of that energy means something. That is a chart in the sky that is just telling you what type of energy you are working with. And to bring it back to the moon being so powerful, like if the moon is powerful enough to move the ocean and to bring up energy in the, in our body and the emotions and just all the processing that we do while working with the moon.

Like, why would Mars or Mercury or any of the other huge celestial bodies in our solar system, why would those also not have an effect on us? Like just the moon has an effect, but nothing else. Just the sun has an effect, but nothing else. It's like, it doesn't make any sense. So, yeah, the moon is, and again, I think there's another place in time. We can dive into all the weird things around the moon, but it is powerful. it's a great point of introspection and literal reflection back to us.

And I think it's just like an amazing gift that has been placed right in front of us. And this is the other thing. Like there are so many things that are right in front of us that we just don't see. Because it's so simple and we want to overcomplicate everything. And it's like, no, it really is as simple as like the moon is full in Pisces. So like, what do you do to escape? What do you do to run away? What do you do to fantasize or how can you be more fluid and flexible in your life?

life and that's the full moon that we're moving into it's going to be the fall equinox is that what it is yeah so we will have the equinox happening around the time of this podcast coming out and the equinox is equal day and equal night it doesn't actually happen on that exact day but um it's around this time and again it's just it's reminding us of the balance it's reminding us of the simplicity of like life being like half shadow half light it's all of us like you can't have one with the other. And when you look at the North Hemisphere, the Northern Hemisphere, we are now moving into fall. So at the Equinox, we have this opportunity to sort of like reflect on the seasons that we just moved through, which was spring and then summer, right? So the spring is like we're

planting seeds. We're initiating things. We're sparking things. This is that cardinal energy. It starts with Aries. Like I said before, Aries is a cardinal sign. So Ares is the initiator of spring. And this is like we're planting seeds, we're getting downloads, we're like really trying to figure out what we want to build. And then we move into the summer solstice, which is the longest day in the northern hemisphere, which reminds us of all of our light and our opportunities to expand. And we get to look around and we get to see what are we growing? What is blooming in front of us? And then we move through the summer as things really come to realization. So in that first season of spring, when we're thinking, I want to change my job, or I love this person, or I want to do this

project or I want to start this new exercise or whatever, that's a time for us to be really building or to be navigating a new chapter in that, understanding where this is going and leaning into creating it. And then once we get into summer, it's kind of like, okay, now you've been doing this for 90 days. Take the next 90 days to see how those things are blooming and like what needs to now be weeded, what needs to be tweaked, what needs to be adjusted, like there's a lot of illumination happening. And then at the end of the summer season, we are in Virgo season. And Virgo is all about digestion.

Okay. And all about like really understanding what needs to stay and what needs to go. Yep. Because what happens next is the fall equinox. So when we move into. Which is what we're moving into right now. Which is where we are now when this podcast comes out. Okay.

So the fall equinox is like, okay, I planted these seeds. The narratives have changed. My life has been changing in certain ways through the spring. Through the summer, I was seeing what has come to fruit. what was blooming, the things that I do want to keep, the things that I'm aware of that I maybe need to release, et cetera. And then in that last chunk with Virgo season, it's like, okay, I really need to start like figuring out where all these pieces go. Yeah. Because there's so many pieces up in the air. And right now, we're experiencing so many planets in retrograde. So

there's a lot of introspection, reflection, reassessment, re-alignment. It's all the art e-words, right? So as we leave that Virgo season, it's like, okay, what are the things that I no longer want to digest. What are the things that I no longer want to be eating? What are the things I don't want to be watching? What do I not want to be listening to? Who should I not be around? And what are the things that are working for me? And how do I create small changes every day to integrate more of these good things in my life? Because Virgo is all about detail and process. So it's like, I can build a new life. It's just going to be a process. And I'm willing to do that. Right. So then that brings us to now, which is the equinox. And the equinox says, okay, we've seen all of this.

I've distilled all of this information down. And I need to just take a minute to reflect on like all of the shadow aspects that we're coming up, which is our fears, our insecurities, our sadness, like our, you know, quote unquote, lower vibrational expressions of self. All those things that have been coming up, they brought me to this moment. Yeah. So like, yeah, maybe I was super insecure. And because I was insecure, I said something.

And then because I said something, that person did something. And then that triggered a whole event. And now I'm here. But at the end of the day, that shadow is equal to the. the light that I have inside. So that's actually illuminating all of the beautiful inner information and wisdom that I need to move forward. So as we move through the fall equinox, all the colors start to change. And we start to say like, okay, I'm going to start releasing these things. Like, I'm ready to let these go. Like, all of the leaves start to fall. I'm ready to release,

right? I'm going to. So the fall season is now like about honoring where we've been, what we've gone through and just letting all of that shit go so that we can actually move in. So that we can actually move into the winter solstice, which is, again, the darkest night, the longest night. It's the darkest time. And that is all about, okay, now I've planted the seeds. I saw where it got me. I've released all this shit. And now I need to like recluse.

Now I need to just like be with just me. And I need to just process and I need to grieve. And I need to just like, I feel like I could cry just talking about it. I need to just like let go of like the potential, let go of the hopes and the dreams. and let go of, like, the blessings and the beautiful things that did come from this, but, like, I don't need this for my next chapter. I don't need this for this next version of me. And maybe some of these things were, like, habits or protective mechanisms that we establish

or whatever it is, stories that we believe, this identity that we carry for so long. And it's, like, as we get into the winter, which is going to be next in the northern hemisphere, is it, like, I can mourn the loss of these parts of me. Like, it's, it's fine to say goodbye to the person I had to be when I was going through the battle, but, like, I'm through the battle now and I need to release that. Maybe I need to release these connections. Maybe I need to release these behaviors, these tendencies, these whatever, you know, and then we come back to spring and we get to start all over again.

What a cool and beautiful perspective you must have on so many different literal seasons of your life. Yeah, I think, I'm also, again, I'm a Gemini, so I'm like, do as I say, not as I do. Well, that's why we get to listen to you and learn from you and follow you on all of your platforms because you are so knowledgeable and you are so good at explaining it too. I'm so locked in just going, yeah, that all makes so much sense. And it's helpful for people to just know and go through these seasons knowing that we're all going through it together in different ways. Yeah, no, that I think is like the main takeaway is like just because I'm talking about

it doesn't mean that I'm like not part of it. Like I too am a shit show. Like I too am just trying to figure out this human experience. Like it's crazy. And when I start speaking like that, it really is like I work with a lot of different guides on the other side. Like part of that is just channeled messages coming through me and not necessarily like me and my wisdom. You know what I mean? So it's like it is a mixed bag.

That's so cool. But yeah. And I do think it's important just for anybody who's in like the Southern Hemisphere who's listening to this is that like they are going through the opposite side. cycle because at the equinox, when we go into the fall equinox, they go into the spring equinox. Right. Right. So just as, again, another take-home message, it's like, no matter where you are and what is going on, part of this polarized experience is meant to be multifaceted. Yeah. And like, wherever you are, even if you're in that winter season, if it's like the darkest it's ever felt, like, you know, literally on the other side of the world, it's the longest day. It's the

brightest light. So it's like, again, we're all sharing space where like you can tap into any of those elements at all times. But yeah, depending on your location, what you're personally going through. Like, of course, we're always in our own internal process. But like, it's just cool that regardless of where you are, there's always one and then there's always the opposite. Right. You know, it's like, and that goes with everything. There's always an equal and opposite reaction. And action. So I do something. Something equal will happen and the opposite will happen somewhere else. and it'll come back carmically to balance itself out. So, yeah, this season is all about balance, slowing down,

noticing that the colors are changing. So you'll start seeing people differently. You'll start seeing yourself differently. And if you're in the southern hemisphere, while those changes are taking place. And we get to still tap into that southern hemisphere spring equinox as well, right? Because we're in the fall equinox. They're in the spring equinox.

So as we see the colors change, as we see that people are shifting, that we are shifting, we can still call in the other side of that coin and say, I'm noticing that these things are changing. And because of that, spring equinox, I'm going to plant new seeds and I'm going to take new action. It's not just a time to just, like, sit back for fall and winter and six months, you do nothing. You know what I mean? But it's more about for us right now shifting, noticing, and releasing. And if we want to integrate planting new seeds for better habits and better routines and stuff like that, we can also do that because on the other side of the coin,

is what's happening so we can access both yeah wow it's just life is so deep i know it's crazy it is you said shifting and it made me remember that i wanted to ask you what a node shift was right so i have an entire workshop that's like a little bit over an hour for this people listening can go take your workshops absolutely yes everything that i do is on my website so we've got workshops for the new moon and the full moon those ones are pay what you can so they're just donation base i'm using American Sign Language and English, so they're totally accessible. And then I have seasonal workshops that's like Virgo season, cancer season, Gemini season. And those ones are, I think, $22. And then we have some other events and stuff like that. And yeah, there's a bunch of stuff on there that you can watch anytime. The recordings are always available. They come with workbooks. Like, they're great. But the nodes, and again, I have an entire hour-long discussion about this because there's so much to talk about. But this is probably one of the most important events of, um, the year. This is an 18-month cycle, more or less. And the nodes are the points in the sky where the eclipses happen. So the north node is where we have eclipses. And the south node is where we have

eclipses. The north node represents the direction of fate and destiny and what we're moving into, where we need to call in our power and where we need to step into ourselves in new ways. And the north node is now in Ares. So that is a strong cardinal fire sign. This is the sign that. The sign that starts spring, like I said earlier. So this is a sign of initiation. This is a sign of standing in your power, showing up. Like, if you think of Aries energy, when a baby is born and it comes out and it screams, that is Aries energy.

It's like the scream of like, I'm here and I'm allowed to be here. I'm supposed to be here. So because of that, I'm going to take up space. Yeah. Now, low vibrational Aries expression would be like taking up too much space. So like, watch us out. Or being too hardheaded or being really short-headed or being really short-hearted. fuse and aggressive and whatever so like we could have a tendency to experience some of that so just

watch that but the north node in aries is asking us to stand in our power in new ways initiate new things and it really is tied to like our identity like who we are and how we show up and and who we want to be so like who the fuck do you want to be and like fake it until you make it you know what i mean it's like i know that sounds crazy to some people and it's easier said than done but like if you say every day like i'm a millionaire i'm a millionaire i'm a millionaire I'm a millionaire. Then it's like eventually that you're going to start believing that. You're going to shift that in your energy field.

You're going to start attracting it. You're going to see opportunities to bring you towards making a million dollars. And that's how you co-create with the universe. So it's like this is all about you initiating a new version of yourself and sort of creating a new character in your story. So we have 18 months to do that. The self-note is in Libra. The South Note in Libra is like kind of showing us where things have been out of balance

too much and where we need to bring balance back into our life. And it's also showing us that by us standing in our power in new ways, in that Ares energy, we need to relate to the world around us in a different way. And the South Node is where we've come from. The South Node is a – these are both karmic points. So these are points tied to your karmic evolution. So the South Node in Libra is like what we've already learned, what we've already learned about relationships, what we've already learned about community, what we've already learned about how we relate to the world around us, how we live. look at the things we value, the things we spend our money on. What are our values? What is our value system even? Like, not just that I value a nice car, but like my inner values, like, I need

somebody who doesn't talk shit behind my back. Like, I need somebody who's going to stand up and let me, you know, hold their hand in the car and not be weird by it. And it's like, and I've been in relationships where I am too much or I say too much or I do too much. And that doesn't work for me. Yeah. So I'm going to take that knowledge of how I used to relate, which is the South Node in Libra. I'm going to take that knowledge. I'm going to take my experience and I'm being called to apply it to the North Node, which is I'm going to use all of that information and experience to recreate my new character. And stand in that truth. Exactly. And stand in my real truth with all the things that I learned about myself so that I

can move forward in a new way. Because this is going to be hard for some people to accept, but like, if you're fighting with your boss, your partner, if you have insecurities at a job, if you hate your mailman. Like all of those things, all of those people, all of that is literally only a reflection of your internal world. All of those things are aspects of yourself that you hate, that you haven't integrated, that you want to push away. So like as soon as you realize, oh my God, everything here is a reflection of me and my own relationship to myself, then you can start using those trigger points. You can start using that information to then navigate the internal healing and adjustments and acceptance that needs to be done.

And that, again, is South Nodan Libra because it's all relationships, right? And then we say, I'm not going to continue to self-sacrifice for people. I'm not going to continue to play small so other people can feel comfortable around me. Just because you knew me when I had less power and you want me to stay in a role of letting you continue to take advantage of me. Like, what? If I now show up differently, that makes you uncomfortable? Well, fuck you anyways. Because they don't have the ability.

to grow and evolve the way that you have so... They do, but they just don't want to tap into it. Yes, they don't want tap into it. And they also don't want you to stand in your power in a way that makes them feel either obsolete or in a way that makes them feel powerless. And this is a big issue that a lot of people have with their parents, for example, which is why holidays are so hard for a lot of people. And I send so much love to everybody who goes through this.

But it's like, your parents want to remember the version of you that they had the most power over. Unless your parents are healthy. Yeah. And they're okay with you growing and expanding and all those things. Your best friend wants to remember you or your, you know, old acquaintances want to remember you as the party girl, party boy who drinks all day because they still drink all day. And because you've chosen to create a different life for yourself. And neither of them are good or bad.

That's the other thing. There's no good or bad. You can drink all day. And if that's what you're being called to do and that's your path, like, I don't recommend it. But like, then like, sure. Then that's your path. Like, whatever. There's no good or bad. There's different learning, right? And you never notice this as much as you do when you, like, move away and then you come back. Or you see people that you haven't seen in five years. And you're like, people are like, oh my God, they have $2 shots. And you're like, oh my God, I am not in a place where $2 shots excite me, girl. Like, I wouldn't drink it anyways. I want like top shelf shit. And like, second thing is like, I'm not doing shots on a Wednesday. You know, it's like, what are we doing here? So, like, when you see, you know, that sort of expression taking place, hey, it's great because it's showing you how much you've grown and adjusted, but then it makes you feel

sad and lonely and isolated because you feel like you no longer connect with these people, but maybe you've known them for a long time, so you want to and it's fine. But then if you start to say like, oh, I don't actually want a drink or I don't want to do this, you'll watch them start to calculate and they'll start to feel discomfort because they're sitting there realizing, shit, should I not be doing this? And then like, they'll either want you to meet them at their level to engage in that so that they don't need to excuse it or you maybe never talk to them again.

Like maybe you just, there's very clear distance that gets established because they don't want you mirroring back to them where they haven't grown yet. And it's like, these are the types of things where like the South Node is going to be showing us how much we've learned and how much we've grown in all of our relationships

and with business and work and like, you need more money, then get more money, bitch. Go out and ask for more money. Like, they're literally printing money in the States. You know what I mean? mean it is like money is endless and like that's a whole other conversation we can have on another podcast about just like scarcity mindset but i'm like i'm already thinking about the next podcast i was like i want a full podcast on the moon and i want a full podcast on that that yeah we could

definitely arrange that because but next time i'm coming to you oh please portugal's amazing and my new space i'm opening the most beautiful like million dollar location of just like this huge healing space and we can shoot there we're getting them to organize it's like a production studio too. Actually, I want to put some of your wine in there at some point. Yes. Oh, my gosh. I would love that. We change the like every season. We change like the wine person. So please come. And then we'll do a whole other

podcasts on obviously. Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely. Okay, well, speaking of doing another podcast, we had to make this bad boy a two-parter. You put two Gemini cancer queens in a room and they just stop talking. Okay, sheesh. So we will continue this conversation on grape therapy this week. We get deep into manifesting,

co-creating, if you will, like how to do it, where to start, how it works, the whole shebang. And then my favorite part, Chris pulls tarot cards for the collective group. So trust me, you'll want to hear these messages. They'll resonate with you in some way. I promise he does not sugarcoat it for us. And it's exactly what I needed to hear. So look forward to that.
