This is Open Mind.
Sabrina Zohar is here.
I got a light and I got anxiety from my mother and I love her.
Don't get me wrong.
Being able to actually tap into yourself and that's why I love astrology.
It's not about me going, okay, Ali,
what's going on for you?
What's right.
But it's really, thank you for this information.
Now, how can I cultivate and learn how to really listen
to my interior and take this information to say,
I knew I was on the right path.
So my past like two serious boyfriends
have had alcohol issues.
And I was talking to my therapist, my dad, by the way,
died when I was 11 from alcohol related things.
I would never have connected this, but she was like, you're trying to save your dad.

Welcome Sabrina.
I am so excited to have you here.
I am such a fan of yours and I'm so excited to dive into your birth chart.
But before we do, tell me a little bit about your relationship with astrology.
Oh, great question.
So I, my mom is big in astrology.
She loves tarot cards.
I have a tarot card tattoo.
Like anything. Oh my gosh, let me see.
Oh, I can't.
I would be, I would be showing it off,
but I'll show you after.
It was my first tattoo.
No way.
I just have- Wait, what tarot card is it?
Strength.
Oh, so cool.
That's what I'd yell, man.
Oh my God.
I just resonated.
It was something my sister and I got together
because it reminded us of our mom.
And it's just, I've always grown up knowing that this existed,
but it doesn't mean I have to identify with anything, which
is what I really loved.
And I use astrology as a yes and.
It doesn't dictate my life, but it's a part of my life,
like so many other things.
I love that.
It's a tool.
It's all tools, and it's fun.
And it's cosmic guidance.
100%.
I think where it becomes,
where I start to see the pendulum swing,
of course, like dating relationship coach,
I talk to people every day.
I love to use it to learn about ourselves,
like attachment styles, like anything else empower you.
But when we start to do like, I don't date Capricorns,
it's like, ugh.
No, I agree with you completely.
I mean, we can make those jokes.
I get that there's like the fun part of astrology
that's like that, but I believe that we're all compatible.
I think everybody's compatible.
We can obviously vibe with energies better than others,
but it's all about learning how to connect to one another
and how we can connect to ourselves.
So that's the key, but at the end of the day,
astrology should connect all of us.
So like, I love, yeah, that's not the part of astrology
that I like to focus on.
No, because there's 12 signs and 9 billion people, right? There's a ratio.
Thank you. Yes. And also we all have every sign in us. Like we all are, we have every zodiac sign
in our charts, you know, it's just about where the energy is heavy.
I'm excited for this. I had my chart read a year, no, like a summer 2023.
Oh, okay.
And it was, I remember-
A birth chart reading?
Birth chart reading.
Okay.
And it was a party and they were like,
she's amazing, you should go.
I was like, don't sign me up.
You really don't have to say more than that to me.
I'm in. No, same.
And I remember she was just looking at it
and I had just started my career like five months prior.
And she was like, the next year is gonna be
the biggest for your career.
And then like clockwork, she was not wrong.
Everything was amazing. And then the day that I got my cease and desist on the name of my gonna be the biggest for your career. And then like clockwork, she was not wrong. Everything was amazing.
And then the day that I got my cease and desist
on the name of my podcast was the day
that the transition happened
and it was no longer in that house.
So I am really excited to see what's upcoming.
Holy cow. Okay, wow.
Okay, so I know that you've already had your birth chart,
but I'm not gonna go over then all the basics with you.
I think let's do your big three.
Let's like do a little like, you know, brush up on it. But I've been studying your birth chart and I am really excited
and let me just start by saying like you're in the perfect career. Like I'm so proud of you.
Are you from LA? No I'm from Florida originally moved to New York. Okay yeah that's why I knew
it was like somewhere East Coasty. Let's start with the sun okay that's of course it's where we
shine. It's where we feel our best.
It's where we feel happiest.
And you're a Taurus sun.
You get to have nice things in life.
Taurus is ruled by Venus.
It is the planet that loves nice things.
It's the planet that's here to spoil us.
And it is all about the finer things in life.
Because you're a Taurus sun,
you are like becoming more Taurus pretty much every day.
Like you're tapping into your power
and into your potential.
But with Taurus, it's not just about having the nice things,
it's about working really hard to have the nice things.
And it is work hard, play hard.
And I know that you work hard
because you were just telling me all the things
that you do yourself.
And it's really impressive.
But it's earth energy.
So it's grounded, it's practical.
You know, plant the seed, water it, nurture it, you're building
an empire.
I've definitely, I bet I can relate to it and feel because I love to give really beautiful
things. Like I love to, I like people to feel what I feel, to feel loved, to feel adored,
to feel really special. And I think for me, I've never been somebody like, we never grew
up buying nice things. Like it was just not my, my parents were very like, you work your
ass off for this.
One day you'll be able to get it yourself.
Totally.
So that, I feel that.
I feel that too.
I mean, I grew up privileged.
I grew up grateful.
We had nice things, but it was always ingrained in me.
I grew up with a single mom and it was always ingrained in me.
You know, like you have to have your own finances.
You have to work really, really hard to get the things
that you want in life.
Capricorn, Taurus, energy.
It's like, we're out here working, okay?
But we are having fun too.
Okay, moon sign, Leo.
Love, love.
My mom is a Leo moon also.
Okay, wait, your mom is here.
My mom is here. Hi.
My mom is a Leo.
And she's a Leo.
There we are, love.
We tend to have, our moon signs tend to be resonant
with our mom's sun sign, our rising sign.
It's wild. You're an extension of your mother. She passed down her Leo bright light to you.
And now you are an extension of her and you're meant to shine, not just for yourself,
but there's a piece of her with you too. And she is your biggest fan. And I love that she's
literally here right now. And I'm looking at her, I'm like, she's so proud of you.
And she's believed in you since the moment you were born.
It's like, of course she's gonna shine.
Like what else is she gonna do with our bright light?
Like we've gotta go, we've gotta be seen.
And Leos, they don't get enough credit, I feel like.
In astrology, like they get all the stereotypes
of like they're being attention seeking or no,
because it's natural to them.
They are ruled by the sun, so they're going to going to be seen regardless whether they like it or not. So having a Leo moon
it's different than a Leo sun. A Leo sun is where we can put a lot of pressure on ourselves right
but like we're still shining and we are the star but when it's a Leo moon like you don't have to
be the loudest in the room it's a little more subtle. I know, very good rising, we'll get to that.
But it's a little more subtle.
It's like you are just magnetic.
Like you can walk into a room
and the Leo shines through naturally.
The moon sign, it's the most important
because it rules our emotions and our mental health.
And so whatever sign our moon is in,
that's how we nurture ourselves.
And because you're a Leo, the work that you do
and the passion that you have behind it,
the drive, entertainment related love
that you ended up in a big city,
I find Leos usually do get pulled to a big city,
fashion, sports.
Yeah, they just, they look good.
Like it's your natural gift.
I hope. Thank you.
I was like, I got, I got a light
and I got anxiety from my mother and I love her.
Don't get me wrong.
But I did get both.
But I find it interesting what you're saying,
because I have two Scorpio siblings.
And that was, talk about a monkey wrench thrown in.
And then there was me, and they were both older than me.
So it was a lot of me who can yell the loudest
to get the attention, who can compete against.
It was a very chaotic, loud household with just variables.
But it's very true.
I love my mom to the moon and back
and I feel this kinship connection.
Yeah, it is, yeah.
Right?
Yeah, like telepathic almost for sure.
Well, my past life was fashion too.
I worked, I have a clothing line.
Love.
Yeah, so I was like.
Yeah, it's right.
And honestly, Taurus too, just having that Venus World sun,
it's like you just have good taste.
So you're gonna do something with it, right?
It's the Leo moon, but then it's the Taurus sun also, I find. That's just cool. Sweet.
Can you just do me a favor and just like come around with me all the time and just let me know
how to be in your pocket? Perfect. Like this is your Leo moon. You're shining baby. Yes, you're
shining. Always. I will say the moon is not the easiest planet. It rules ocean tide. So it's a
wave. But what you need
to just always remember is that you are the sun. That's your birthright. That's your energy.
But it's meant to be seen. Now, where the moon is living and your chart specifically,
this is the part of the chart that's the most spiritual. It's the 12th house. And the 12th house, it's my favorite house, I said it.
It is not the easiest.
It is the house that, it's where we leave the physical world
and we are going to Nirvana, outer space, the universe,
like whatever you wanna call it.
It's not real.
It's make believe, it's dreams, it's our mind.
I think this is absolutely too why you're pulled
to psychology and understanding why people
are the way they are.
The moon is how we relate, it's our emotions
and the 12th house, it's all about empathy
and understanding people.
But it is not a walk in the park placement.
The moon is already heavy, it's already emotional
and then the 12th house is like the ocean, it's vast.
We can drown, we can swim, we do both usually,
we try to swim more than we drown, but it's lessons,
and we're working on that.
And the moon and the 12th, so creative, so magical,
like truly psychic abilities, intuition is heightened.
These are the gifts and the magic of the 12th house,
it is the most powerful house. But if we ignore the 12th house. It is the most powerful house.
But if we ignore the 12th house,
that is when it can get a little chaotic.
The 12th house rules things like mental health institutions
and prisons and things like that that aren't fun.
We don't wanna go there.
So to make sure we don't go there,
we have to have a spiritual relationship.
We have hygiene basically.
So I'm not surprised you're pulled to things like this. Not surprised that you're interested in psychology
and relationships.
I have a lot of planets in the 12th house too.
And so usually people with placements,
they're going a little deeper.
It's like there's more,
we have to go below the surface a little bit,
but it's magical.
Always trust your intuition, like always.
I've learned that over the years, like especially a question I get all the time is like, how do I know if it's magical. Always trust your intuition, like always.
I've learned that over the years,
like especially a question I get all the time is like,
how do I know if it's my gut and intuition
versus my anxiety, right?
For me, typically like the anxiety comes
with like this body sensation and narrative, right?
Of like, maybe I'll get like chest palpitations
or my heart will get heavy.
And then I'll start to reel of like,
I knew you were too much, there's something wrong.
Oh my God, they're not gonna like you.
Versus intuition is a very calming, this doesn't feel right, right? to reel of like, I knew you were too much, there's something wrong, oh my God, they're not gonna like you versus intuition
is a very calming, this doesn't feel right, right?
And it's like, I feel it's a different place,
it's a very guttural, in my belly, not anxiety.
And it's like this, this doesn't feel right,
or you need to move or, you know,
I lived in New York for 12 years, just walking around,
you had to learn to listen to your body
because you could maybe not, right?
If you were just spaced out and walking around and not paying attention and there's someone following you or
there's a major city, it's not safe. So I've really learned that trying to hone into my intuition
means listening without the chatter, finding the quietest voice that's not really screaming the
loudest because that's really the one that's trying to guide you. Whereas the anxiety is,
she is loud and she wants to be heard.
And it doesn't always mean that that's not good.
No.
Yeah, it's like that's the part of us that's fear, fear based and the ego based.
And it's like we want to get rid of all of that so we can listen to our truest, our true
selves.
That's fascinating because I always have it have difficulties differentiating like, oh
my god, am I just anxious or is this a sign?
And then I'll be like, okay, universe, give me a sign
if it's this or that.
And then it just makes it worse.
Like I have to, I'm working on just trusting
and listening to my intuition.
Cause I can recognize it.
Yeah, but it is hard in the day to day life, you know?
Cause it comes usually there's like a pattern
associated with it, right?
Like if we look at how many times,
especially like when I was dating, right?
I mean, it's just the easiest example to use.
Yeah. But when I was dating and I would be it was the same thing consistently, right?
Like they didn't text me.
I'm now creating narratives. I'm filling in the blank.
The story I'm telling myself is this.
I now can't like I can't sleep. I can't eat.
It's like I'm dysregulated.
My body feels like there's a danger. Yeah.
Knowing that being really clear and learning about yourself is also part of this
because you can tell me this all day and I'm like,
okay, cool, I don't know what my intuition sounds like
or I can't differentiate between,
but being able to actually tap into yourself
and that's why I love astrology.
It's not about me going, okay, Ali, what's going on for you?
But it's really, thank you for this information.
Now, how can I cultivate and learn how to really listen
to my interior and take this information to say,
I knew I was on the right path.
Yes, I love that.
And by the way, the 12th house rules things like meditation.
It's like where Buddhist monks live.
Okay, so like that's the 12th house.
It's very, eat, pray, love.
So like we're meant to tune in.
Your moon is living there.
So yeah, like what you're saying is you already know
how to listen to that, but like if you didn't,
that's where astrology can help.
It's like, okay, maybe you should try meditating,
or maybe you need to turn your phone off and go take a nap,
or yeah, the 12th house is all about isolation.
I'm pretty good at that.
I was gonna say, because you have a very social sun and moon,
you're still a Leo moon, so you're still meant to connect
and be social, but you need your alone time, absolutely.
More than anything.
Non-negotiable.
Non-negotiable, like I first so long
thought I was extroverted and I'm like,
I am, I feel, no, I don't like people.
Yeah, yeah.
That actually became pretty clear for me.
I actually don't like being around people.
I don't get energized.
I enjoy connection.
Yep, and learning.
Learning, but like small talk for volatily,
like no, spare me, send me home.
I'm in bed by eight, I'm up at four, like, leave me alone.
I'd rather just stay home, truthfully.
And watch a movie or listen to music.
The 12th House is really creative.
Funny you say that.
I was just telling my partner yesterday,
I'm like, man, all of my life, what do I remember?
Cause we were talking about something in high school.
And I said, oh yeah, I got in trouble
cause I'm aging myself, I used to bring my CD player.
Ugh, here we are, right?
I used to bring my CD player to school
and I had my headphone that was like trailing
through my shirt and I would get in trouble. But I remembered consistently, I was like,
what was the path? I always turned to music. Music was my escape. Music was like, I had a very,
I'll just say chaotic upbringing. Like I did not have a healthy environment. We didn't. We had a
really tough father who was showing that in multiple different ways that were not conducive
for a healthy environment. I'll just say that.
And music was my escape.
Music was my way to reconnect with myself
and to come back into my body
because it allowed me to just be for a second
and quiet the chatter and focus on something else.
So that doesn't surprise me.
That's how you nurture yourself.
That's beautiful.
Me and my headphones were BFF, right?
We'd go for walks every day, that bilateral movement.
I love to connect in different ways.
And I think that also that Taurus feeling really,
feeling your body.
Yeah, comfort is important to you
and safety is important to you.
I never had it.
And with the moon in the 12th, by the way,
there's going to be, there already has been,
we know that you just said that,
a lot of lessons around, okay, how do I nurture myself
and how do I create my safe place?
So for you, finding those little moments of joy
that like, you're like, wait, I'm safe.
It's just me, like I can go listen to music
and I can do this and the 12th house,
if you go Googling it, yeah, people tend to fear it,
but I love it.
But it's because most people don't want to do the work
and they don't wanna go deep
and they don't wanna go see therapist or learn about,
they don't wanna quiet the outside noise.
They'd rather like escape and turn to drugs or alcohol or watch TV, which is fine for a little bit. And then eventually we gotta,
you know, listen to ourselves. Yeah. When you resist, persist. The more you ignore,
right? The more we like really ignore these noises, the more that that chatter comes. Like,
especially when I was doing the work prior to that, I didn't want to. It was safer for me to stay in
my patterns and then stay in my shit than it was for me to acknowledge that I actually did have control over my life
Yeah, right because I think we're so bred similar to astrology what we were talking about in the beginning
You can look at it as what life's happening to me. I have no control
Yeah, and I do believe that there is a fate and a destiny right like I think certain aspects are written for us
Yep, but I also believe in free will and I also believe in taking what happens to you and actually like learning from it,
growing from it, evolving from it.
I've always found if this is the growth I'm at,
sign me up, unsubscribe, I don't wanna peek here.
Board, right?
Board, we're done, what else is there to do?
Like if we're not growing, yeah.
And I agree, even in astrology,
I of course I believe in fixed fate.
I believe we all have a destiny,
but I do believe a thousand percent in free will.
And I think we're going to play out our destiny regardless.
Like we're going to get there.
We're already there.
We're doing it.
We've been doing it.
We're on the path, but we get to have free will
and we don't have to be scared of astrology.
It's just like, oh, these are options.
It gives us options.
I love this girl.
Validates us.
And it reminds us we're not crazy.
Like we're right where we're meant to be.
You having your moon in the 12th house.
I mean, it was always your destiny, we can say that,
to have to go a little bit deeper than everyone else.
Having the moon in the 12th house,
it's an emotional responsibility, but like it's in Leo.
So you have to share your experience with others
and allow yourself to be vulnerable,
which you're obviously doing
and making a difference doing that.
