When The Practical Fails Try Some Woo Shit (Spirit Guides, Tarot & Astrology)

When the practical stuff is not working, sometimes the most radical move is to try the “woo” without giving your power away. We’re talking psychic abilities, intuition, and the clairs in a way that stays grounded, sceptical, and deeply pro-autonomy, especially for women who are tired of being told what to think, feel, or follow.

We break down the most common clairs like claircognisance, clairvoyance and clairaudience, and share real-life examples of how they show up quietly: a sudden inner knowing, a phrase that lands out of nowhere, a vision that later plays out in ordinary life. We also explore why “woo-woo” gets mocked, how that can be tied to patriarchal control, and why discernment matters more than blind belief. Spirit guides and channelling can be helpful, but we do not put anyone, human or non-human, on a pedestal.

You’ll hear a wild out-of-body “cloud nine” story that brings both wonder and a clear warning about chasing spiritual highs. From there we move into tools you can actually use: tarot as a structured framework for alchemy and personal transformation, and astrology as a way to understand your birth chart, moon cycles and transits without outsourcing your choices. If you want spiritual tools that build self-trust rather than dependency, you’ll feel at home here.

Welcome And The Woo Premise

SPEAKER_00 0:00

This is the podcast for the women ready to break some rules, for the women who are fed up of pouring into everyone else and not getting what they want. This is where you discover what is true for you and you transform and alchemize the areas of your life that is not doing it for you. Welcome to Truth and Transformation. I'm your host, Kirsty D. Let's go. Hello, hello, hello, lovelies. Today we're going to talk about some woo shit. Because I always say when the practical is not working, do some woo shit. This has helped me so much in my life, but we're going to remove the patriarchal stuff and find the tools that actually align for you and that actually work for you because there are many things that I'm like, that is not for me, that just just know. And there are things that like I just oh I just can't recommend enough. So we're going to talk about all of that today. So I'm gonna start off with uh Claire's psychic abilities, intuition, and all of that. So my belief is that all of us, all of us, all of us, all of us, have a psychic abilities. All of us. We've all had that experience when we've just thought something and then it just happens, we're thinking about something, and then that person like rings or whatever, or we've just felt something and something was off, and then it turns out that that was that was true. We all have these like six senses around things, and we often, as we get older, like we stop trusting it, we stop um believing it, we think it literally is just woo-woo, and you know, the term woo-woo has been used to discredit things, and also you know, there's a valid and good reason for that, and there's also a really shadowy patriarchal reason for that. So

The Clairs And Everyday Intuition

SPEAKER_00 1:50

the valid and good reason for that is here's the irony, here's the funny thing, um, because some of those things just are patriarchal bullshit, and people trying to get power over you, and it's not actually like it's not actually true or it's not actually aligned, and also there are times when there is something in it, and you know there's something in it, and the reason that it's joked and the reason that it's made out like it's nothing and it's all just bullshit, is so that you don't trust yourself. So that's what I want to talk about today. So you may have listened to me talk about bits already if you listen to the Patriarch in Spirituality episode, if you listen to the Alchemy Witchcraft episode, and all of that, but I want to talk specifically about um the Clares. So I really believe that we all have these, so these are often called like your psychic abilities. I realize for myself that um, so I think we have all of them, but some are we're more natural in some of them, I would say, and some we might not really um just be that deeply connected, they might not be that strong in us, we might not really um yeah, just be that aware of. Um, the most common one I would probably say for most people is claire cognience, um, claire empath, claire voyance, claire audience. They're probably like the most the most sort of common ones. Um, and it's often not how you think

A Clairvoyant Vision That Came True

SPEAKER_00 3:30

it's going to be. So I'll give you an example. So I had a clairevoyance experience um recently, a couple of a couple of months ago, like a really, really strong one. So I have this to be honest, like daily, but in a way that lots of people probably have, and they just don't even recognise it. But this was something that was like bigger, bigger than that. Um, so basically I had this vision um of somebody that I used to be friends with, um, and they were walking down the river with a dog. I had that was the vision that I had, right? And but this person doesn't have a dog, and like, you know, so it just doesn't make any sense, right? But that was the vision that I had, and I remember just thinking, oh, I'm I'm gonna see them with a dog. Like I'm going to see them with a dog. And I was like, okay, that's a bit weird. Um, but like, you know, whatever. Um, and then that happened. Like, I I got the vision, and it was a very specific thing that I was gonna see them on a walk, like, you know, out and about down the meadows, like in a that sort of thing. And then that that literally happened. Like, it was like, I don't know, a couple of weeks later, a couple of I think a couple of months later at most, but I just kept um so I had the vision, but then I also just kept getting so this is like clear cognizance when you just know you don't know how you know something, but you just know. So you've probably experienced this when you've known something was off, something's not right, you don't know how you know, nobody's told you, you just know that's clear cognance. I think everybody's had that experience. You just know, don't know how, but you just know. Um, so I had the vision, but I also just kept knowing. I was like, You're going to bump into her with a dog. She's gonna be walking a dog, you're going to bump into her. Um, and that that's literally what happened. Um, and I was just like, What the fuck? And um, I said to my husband Tony about it, and he was like, Oh, she's got a dog. And I was just like, Yeah, I was like, Well, I think so. I don't know, she's walking somebody else's dog. Like, we're not we're not friends anymore, we don't speak anymore, so obviously I don't know. I do not have the tea, like nobody's come to me, nobody's told me, like generally, like no way of me knowing, um no way of me knowing this information. I haven't like um you know looked it up, tried to like you know, Facebook stalker or anything like that. Like I just got the vision and um yeah, like then it then it happened. So that's the kind of thing that can happen, like if you're clairvoyant, you'll get visions, you will see things, and it doesn't not all of it is something that's going to happen in the future. Sometimes it can be like a vision that you'll get, um, and sometimes it's like like you'll literally see it like you know, like you you watch a movie and you like see it out there, but sometimes it'll be like a vision internally, like you know, you know, like when um reading a book and then you you start imagining it in in your head. Sometimes it's like in your your like sort of third eye sort of vision, um, but it is like you get a vision, right? And sometimes it is to do with with the future, and that doesn't always mean something is going to happen, right? It it doesn't. So if you get something scary, don't be scared that that is going to happen, right? We all can visualize things in, you know, like again, if that always happened, then every time we all kind of visualized about something, you know, we would have that thing that we were visualizing around. And yes, visualization can be powerful to bring bring things in. My point is it doesn't mean just because you see something, it is gonna happen, so you don't need to be afraid of that. But sometimes like it literally is going to happen, and I don't mean anything bad or anything scary, but like just something, just something like that kind of situation. So sometimes it will be to do with the future, sometimes it will be something like that, but sometimes it will be more um like a vision of something that you know would like help you, that would serve you, that would um like there's some sort of like message sort of in it. Um some people get this like you know, so this is where like spirit can kind of come through. So some people will like see colours, they might see numbers, they they might see like literal figures or whatever. Um I'll often get like animals, like spirit animals and stuff come through. And um for me it's usually um it's it's usually like in my third eye, it's usually like internally, um, not usually kind of like outwardly. Like usually if you see kind of like spirits and stuff out, that is like a clairvoyance that steps sort of more into like mediumship. Um and you can have mediumship that kind of works like internally. So like I've done things before, so I don't class myself as as a medium, um, but I've had it before where I've done sessions with people and their loved ones and stuff has kind of come through, and I've known something's kind of coming through, and um all of that, and I've been able to like you know communicate the the message and all of that and what it was, um, but it's like not been super super clear for me who who that necessarily was, and then like I've said to the person, and it's like they've been like, Oh, it was this person, like I saw them myself, or just based on what I've told them, they're like that's just too specific. Um, but there are people who can like get more than that and can literally, you know, see and and all of that. Um Tony actually, my husband, he's actually what I would call like a natural medium, as in I think everybody can do this, but his again comes more like

Mediumship Stories And Natural Gifts

SPEAKER_00 9:40

um clear auditory, like he he will hear things. So we've been in situations where like past loved ones, um, and this this is definitely not my my speciality, this is definitely not my gift. I have a gift of opening that up in other people. So, like often when Tony's been around me, or if he's done a meditation with me, it kind of like will open that up, and then he will kind of have like literal kind of conversations. So we've had experiences where um he he's literally like had people's like past loved ones and stuff kind of like come through, but it's like been so clear, like he's got names and and and everything. Um we've gone to like sound baths and stuff before, and he's just had like he's like they won't leave me alone. It kind of makes me think of like you know the film Ghost, and he's like they won't leave me alone. Um, you know, like so I I I do not have that. I don't know if that's because I've shut that off, because of um if you listen to if you've already listened um to my episode on alchemy witchcraft and stuff, you'll you'll know why. Um, but like I'm not really interested in in that kind of sort of level. So I don't know if it's because I've shut it off, or whether I just haven't like fully opened that, or whether it's well, not as natural ability in me. We all have different ones. Um like Tony's just yeah, he he he's he's just there, but then there's other things where like I'm stronger at, and that's the same for all of us. So I bet you'll have things that you're stronger at than I do, and then um there'll be things that I'm stronger at, and this is the same with every person, but it's just how tuned in you are, and for some people it will just be they don't even need to tune in, it is just like so so so like natural. So I believe as I say, everybody can tap into these things more, but some people it's just more natural. So for instance, you know, you could get somebody who can like study and study and study maths, right? But like they just don't find it as easy and they they can like really struggle, and then you've got people who you know like uh dyscalculus and like all of these things, so it's like really, really, really hard for. Um, but then you've got other people they don't even need to study and they just get it, right? So this is kind of how I see sort of the Claire. So I believe no matter who you are, you will have one of these that um is like much stronger and one that's much more natural to you, and you might not even be aware of, or you might, and you literally don't have to do any work, it just comes. So, like my husband has never studied mediumship, he's never done a course, and like he he's never done any of it, it just literally happens. It just literally happens. Where um so he's had it, doesn't happen, thankfully, too often. Because I was like, uh, can you like not do this? So, like he kind of had a word and it stopped because like it's just not my thing, like it I don't really like it, kind of freaks me out, but he's had it in the poor, like in the the night, where like you know, they're like trying to speak to him and stuff, doesn't happen very often, right? But it is like he doesn't need to do anything, like it just literally, yeah, it is just one of those things, which I think is quite funny that he like he he married a witch, and like when I married him, like I didn't know he was like what I would call an actual born medium, but he is. Um, he just has he just has that gift, and um, you know, I mean, at least if I die before him, we can still chat, you know, and all of that. So, well, hopefully, don't know if it it will work the same with with us, but you know, potentially. Um, but my point is like I really believe like everybody will have something, and um, but it might like it, it might show up differently from person to to person. And the more that you work on this, the more you trust it, the more that you horn it. So, like in in meditation and all of those things, like if things come through, don't ignore it, you don't need to like dissect like every piece because you could just literally drive yourself mad, but just and also you don't need to because what I have found is if there's a message that wants to kind of come through, it will just naturally get clearer and clearer. But you can, of course, like journal and and different things, and then because here's the thing

Spirit Guides Without The Pedestal

SPEAKER_00 14:00

um it's it's it's it's your intuition, it's how it lands with you. So the way that I kind of see spirit and stuff is um is kind of no different to to ourselves. So sometimes in the past, and sometimes even now, I might still say, you know, like spirit, like this higher perspective, but I don't actually really I've been thinking about this because I was thinking about what episode do you want to do this week? And I was like, oh, I want to talk about this because I've had some changes of opinions recently, or just maybe it's become more kind of solid in through dismantling, you know, and like seeing like my own inner patriarchy and like seeing stuff. It's kind of just made me have more clarity, I guess you could say, and kind of be like, oh no, this is what it is. So I kind of see like spirit is not really like a higher power. I see it as just different, a different energy, a different lens, a different, um, like like you just can't compare, you just can't compare the two. Like it would be kind of like, you know, salt and pepper, like they often come together, but like they're they're they're just different, they're completely different. So spirit can often often seem higher because to us it is, because um, like it's not our it's it's it's not our, I guess, natural language. So that makes it for us often um, I guess, be more potentially uh sacred if it's used in the in the in the right way, like uh I guess more intelligent in a lot of ways, because it's just it takes us from our human blind spot, if that makes sense, right? But it here's what I really, really believe that um that it is just kind of as as flawed as us, as in like so I kind of see like spirit guides as like you know, like they can really help you and they can really serve you, like a really good um relationship can, like a really good friend, a really good counsellor, but like they don't have all the answers, but they can have a perspective and show a mirror and give you like an insight that you might not have thought of, and your job is to filter it through what fills aligned for you. It's not like, oh, this message came through and I should just go for it, right? It might be, but it's it's your thing to really build up more self-trust and really like deeply kind of go, oh yeah. You know, um I also see spirit guides as um again like us in terms of you know, sometimes, you know, they can, you know, help us out with the situation, sometimes they can protect us for it with a situation, and a lot of time they they literally can't. They literally can't. A bit like, you know, we've got loved ones and stuff, and you know, sometimes we can protect people from hard, painful things, and sometimes we can't, you know, like we literally can't, whether it's because physically we we can't, or whether it's because um it's not in their best interest. You know, sometimes we the one of the most loving things we can do is people have to learn for themselves, and when we're trying to fix other people's lives and change them, like that's not good for them. It doesn't feel good. Um, and it's often not helpful. Like we've all we've all kind of had situations where there's a friend or there's somebody and you're like, ah, um, but you have to let them do it, you have to let them get on with it, like you know, or maybe it's just a child or something in them making choices that you think are not the best, right? So I always see these mo these like funny memes about like spirit guides, like, oh my gosh, what are they up to? Like, I've sent them this message and they're still doing the thing, because it it kind of is like that, like they can't live your life for you. Um, I like I I've heard like incredible stories of people, you know, um literally being like saved and stuff by spirit guides and stuff. Um, one of my friends when she was little, like she was like um drowning, and a and a spirit like came came and helped her. And I don't know if I've shared that story already. It's something I don't like to talk about much, but I think it's important that actually on this episode that I do, because then people will be like, Well, why didn't I get, you know, like this person gets saved or that person gets saved? I I just think sometimes they just can't. We don't know why. Um, but for whatever reason, I don't think it's because you know they're like this person is more better and this person is more chosen. I just think because they um not superhuman, even though they're not human, if that makes sense, but like just can't can't always. So um, yeah, they can't stop the human us um suffering, they can't stop us going through hard challenges, but they can um sometimes protect us, they can for sure guide us, and they can for sure give us a lens and wisdom and stuff that um we might not have otherwise had. And I think that is really, really incredibly powerful because as humans we are limited, we do have biases and we do have

Discernment Against Gurus And Patriarchy

SPEAKER_00 19:15

all of these things, and also um you do have to check in with yourself because just like you wouldn't just listen to any Tom, Dick, and Harry, you shouldn't just listen to any messages that just come through, especially if um it doesn't feel right for you, or if it doesn't feel aligned for you, or if it's came about in a way that um I don't know, I guess is a little bit dodgy. Like, so for instance, you know, if somebody's like giving you um saying like oh, this message is coming through, and they're like, I channeled this from ISIS or whatever, um, and she told me to do this, that, and the other, and she told you to do that, right? And you're like, hmm, that doesn't seem right. Like, have discernment. There are like shitty um gurus out there that will say that kind of shit, and again, I'm not like I do believe people can channel, I do believe um in these things. I'm very, very skeptical when um people are like, oh, it was this um spirit, it was it was this, you know, whether it was like ISIS or whatever it is. Um, if you know, you know. There's um the podcast episode that went like really viral around that about um somebody like and they told me to impregnate this person and blah blah blah. Um, so any of that, like I would be really highly um discerning about because um one that person might just be talking bullshit. A lot of people I think are talking bullshit. Um but two, um, that person, even if like they generally got that message, um it doesn't mean they've got your best interests on it, and they're still putting their human perspective on it. Um and then here's the other thing, I'm just gonna be honest, I do think a lot of that is bullshit. I so I think as in um gosh, I'm really like trying to think about like what my uh I want to be the most respectful with this and not throw the baby out with the bath water as as I explain this, right? But here here's what I what I'm believing, and this is this is where things are always like changing and evolving for me, right? Most of that stuff, I just really I just don't think I believe a lot of it, in all honesty. Like I I just I do think a bit like religion, where they're like, God says this and God says that and like all of that. And and and I know spirit exists, right? And I don't think any of us can say it is exactly this or it is exactly that. So I'm not somebody who will just dismiss something, but I'm also very skeptical. And I think it's really important to be skeptical, and I think it's really important to be discerning. And I do believe there are genuine people who maybe are channeling certain things, but maybe they're not. Maybe they I I like I don't I don't know, but I think there probably are some people. Do I necessarily believe in say these certain sort of archetypes and stuff that we hear, not in the way that some people think that it is a Pacific um like person or spirit? I believe in it in more of like an archetype as in that kind of energy. So I have in the past um done like energy work around, like say working with like Medus and stuff, because it literally came through intuitive and it was like this would be powerful for you, right? But I don't know if I actually believe in like to me it's just folklore that like this is an actual thing, but like the working with the energy and the mythology and stuff I think can be really, really powerful, right? But I don't think I really believe in so I believe in angels and like spirit guides and all of that. Um, and again, I maybe believe in the energy of say Archangel Michael or like whatever it is, right? I do believe in that sort of thing. Um, but I don't know if I believe it's an actual singular thing, if that makes sense. And maybe it is, I don't know. So I've had things where I've had things come through and it's like been like this is Archangel Michael, but I don't know if that's an actual spur guide or if just what is associated with that energy is what's coming through. And as humans, we need that language, so we need to be able to say this is Archangel Michael, this is this, this is that. Where I personally think it gets very dicey is when people start going, This is Archangel Michael, and this is Mary Magdalene, and she says this, and like people just take it on and be like, Oh, well, if Mary Magdalene said it off this person said it, or that person said it. I just 99% of the time I'm gonna be like, I'm not saying it's a it's a red flag, but it would be a it would be a a pause for me, it would be a pause for me. Um it would be, and I that doesn't mean that I don't think there are people who are doing this who don't have incredible wisdom, and maybe are channeling that archetype and all of that, and that that that couldn't be really helpful, like I I do, but I also think um you just have to some people aren't doing that, and even some of that you know are if they haven't worked on their own um like say whether it's purity culture or their own patriarchal stuff, or even if they have, it still might not be in the aligned thing for you. But still might not be, right? Because again, remember, this is a perspective, this is an this is a different tick, this is an energy, this is all of those things that if you applied could be really, really powerful, but also it could also be not good for you, and actually the message is more coming through, so you can get that inner clarity, and but actually that doesn't feel aligned. Like if you ever had a friend say something and they think they're giving you the best advice, but your body's like, ah, I'm resisting this, right? Because it's not for you, or sometimes you're resisting it because maybe actually you do know you need to do that thing, but like you're afraid, okay? You're not there yet, okay? So it's kind of like I kind of see it like that, like you know, the best advice and stuff in the world, like if you're not there yet and you're not ready for that yet, but it's like you can take it and you can park it and come back to you know when when you are, or you can use it as intel of being like, I don't care, like everybody's saying this thing, but it doesn't feel aligned. Like, I don't care if somebody's coming to you and being like, Jesus fucking Christ said this, if it's like feeling off, I don't fucking care if it is actually Jesus Christ. I actually don't think I really believe. Sorry, not sorry. Just don't, just not, I'm just not a believer in it, you know, just not a believer in that, right? But say I'm wrong, like say, say it is a thing, right? I still don't care, right? And if these energies are actually good and they actually care about you, they want you to have autonomy and to say no, and to be like, actually no, actually no. Um, but I just and I that's my kind of take on on all of these things. The same as God. Like I've been thinking about this a lot. Like, what is my view of God? So I do believe in God, but not as in the way it is taught. And I was thinking about this since the alchemy episode, because I was like, oh, I don't think I explained my perspective on that very well. But for me, what God is, is it's like, and sometimes I don't use that word because of the connotations that kind of come with it, but um, and for some people, you know, based on their history and all of that, that could be like a word that's like don't even say that word to me, you know. But how I view it is, is it again, it's not a singular thing, it's kind of like an energy. I kind of see it that, you know, like if you're in a room full of people, right, and everybody is like really um attuned, maybe it's not attuned, but like there's some sort of um beauty, harmony, alignment. I can't think of the right word, but basically everybody wants everybody to win. There's like a loving energy. Um, yeah, it's like win-wins. We're creating an ecosystem, like that to me. So that's that's what it is. And I think that's where like spirit and these messages and stuff can kind of really come through, and it can help us connect with that because we just get so much in our human and so much in the logical, and so much in that. Where, and we all know that I say it all the time, but you can follow all the it is, you can do all the logical things, and like just life's just not working, and it feels like shit. And yes, again, that's that's part of being human, like you know, life's gonna life and all of that, but but I do really believe, and I I know from personal experience and also just from working with enough people, and also just being human and witnessing fucking other humans. Um, just doing all the quote unquote human stuff, like just doesn't work, like not seeing and not believing things can change, and like uh you know, different perspectives and stuff like doesn't serve you. And I often see people who are really struggling and who are really depressed, it's because they don't have that, I guess, faith, that belief in anything else, and also I get it because you know, people have hide behind faith and hide behind God and just like hurt people. So I don't believe in like a God that um basically punishes, um, or I guess even rewards, you know. Like I do, like I just don't think that's how it works. Like I don't think it's like yes, you can things can come into life, yes, things can line up, yes, you can like manifest and all of that. But like that kind of like tyrant kind of energy where it's like if you do this, um you're you're good and you will get into heaven or like whatever the bullshit is, right? And um, if you do this, you're a sinner and you'll be punished, and you know, like you're being looked down on, and like where you constantly have to like basically I don't believe in this like guilt, shame, um, kind of like punishing thing that is bullshit, that is just patriarchy to me. And the lens it uses is is God, is like hides behind spirit, hides behind faith because it's a way to terrify people. Like that's that's the reality. And also, as I said, and as I you know started this episode off with just having a drink, um I know spirit exists because um yeah, I've had I've just had experiences where well, first of all, as a as a as a child, as I've said already, have I said this already? I know I've definitely mentioned the podcast episode already, but I don't know if I've said this, but like we were literally haunted, so I know spirit exists. I know spirit exists. Um I know that um you can get visions and stuff, and they they literally happen. Like spirit can come through in that um in that way, as I say, I had that vision, it happened. I've had so many experiences like this. Um, I'll share another one with you that I know I shared if you listened. If you were regular start on the previous podcast before um I I restarted it and relaunched it, um I shared an a gosh, like this to me was like fucking wild.

The Out-Of-Body Cloud Nine Experience

SPEAKER_00 31:53

Um where this was a long time ago. I lived in Bournemouth at the time, where I I call it like my cloud nine experience, right? Um I cannot tell you how this happened, it just happened. So I'm gonna tell you the story where I was lit like literally had an out-of-body experience, and it fundamentally like changed like where I was just like, what the fuck? Um just fundamentally like changed something in me. So I was lying on my bed. Now I cannot tell you if I was meditating, if I'd been sleeping or anything beforehand. I I literally don't know. It's like that, it's like that thing got like blanked out of me. Um so I like I literally can't tell you, but what I can tell you is um this was like I was just at home. Um I personally don't do drugs or anything like that. Like I don't even do weed, like I don't like like like nothing. Like I don't even drink um like I drink herbal tea. I don't even drink like, you know, English tea. I don't like I just I don't even drink Coca-Cola like this like like literally this was not like you know, like people have these like trippy experiences and they've done like ayahuasca and like all of these things, right? Non, like nothing, nothing like that. Um like literally, nothing like that. Um and what basically happened is I had this experience where I was like, I'd like left my body and and and like people literally train to do this, right? You know, there's like YouTube videos on it and all of that, right? I have no interest in doing that because uh for a couple of reasons. Um, one, I really believe that we're meant to be in the human realm, so we're not meant to be like, you know, basically trying to like go off to other realms. Um yeah, I feel like we're here to be human. Like if we're meant to do that, it will just happen. Like me having this experience, like I didn't force it, I didn't try to make it happen, it just happened. I also think we're supposed to go off and be spirits, like when we the humanist dies, when when the body is like, no, done, okay. We're not we're here to like live on the human realm, right? So, and also I think um it can be dangerous, and I'm gonna tell you tell you why. And I just think and again, like if it feels alignment for you, like I do I've done lots of things that to the outside world is quote unquote dangerous, and it's deeply served me. So, you know, if something feels in alignment for you, but it just doesn't feel in alignment for me. But yeah, so I had this out-of-body experience, right? Um, and I didn't realise I was having an out-of-body experience at first, right? So basically, it was like um I I can't even explain it. So, you know, when I've said about like God, as I say, I don't see it as like God isn't other people, but I see it as this kind of like energy, this kind of like frequency where yes, there might be spirits and like all of these things, but it's like there's this um happening, there's this love, and obviously there's different levels of it, there's different, I guess, frequencies and all of that of it, right? But like I guess at the highest frequencies, often what um I guess you would hear about in religion and in in spirituality, often of enlightenment. I just really struggle with a lot of those things because they have been used um often in a way that hurts so many people, as this like thing to strive at, and um that um is as I say very patriarchal and um yeah, very, very, very problematic, right? But again, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water, right? I had this what I can only call I guess uh enlightened calling it an enlightened experience doesn't feel right because I'm definitely not enlightened by any means, right? But I had this experience, right? And the only thing that I can use and it will not do it justice is this most euphoric experience. It was like heavenly, it was like complete peace and harmony and abundance, and as I say, I've never done drugs, but the reason that I can imagine why some people get um addicted to certain drugs, like it was it was like a as I say, a complete euphoria, like a complete high, but it wasn't a high that then I had a crash with, so maybe that's not the right terminology, right? But it was just this complete um piece, euphoria, like insane, like throughout my whole body, just insane, like pleasure doesn't even do it justice. Um just yeah, euphoria is the best word that I can describe it, right? But it was more than that, it was like this thing of like literally anything's possible, right? And I was like floating around, it's like the weirdest experience, right? And it was like um, it was like it was like there was like clouds, like literally like clouds, and there was like these, it wasn't a shopping mall, but that is um that's what always comes through when I go to describe this story, right? And it was like basically I could just pick whatever I wanted and it would happen, it would appear. And I really believe af when I was in this frequency, if I'd done that, I honestly think anything that I'd wanted to manifest would have literally happened. I can't explain it, but I didn't do that, I didn't put an order in for anything, and I'm always like, damn it, why did I not do that? But here's the thing, here's why I didn't because when you are feeling that good and that you like that level of euphoria, you don't want anything. You don't want anything because you're in complete abundance, like there is no lack, there is no need, there is no fucking desire. Because I just knew if I want like it was just um and it was all like white, like white light and like clouds and all of that. So I always say to people now, I'm like, I know cloud nine exists. I I think that's where that phase, and I haven't looked on on the history of that of where the the phrase cloud nine comes from, but intuitively, even if it's not consciously like as humans we're consciously aware of this, I reckon it's because some of us have had this experience, and then it's like, oh, cloud nine. I don't know why nine, but like it was it it was like clouds, right? Like spirit. It was this was not a grounded on-the-floor earth thing. This was floating, floating, floating, floating, right? And um oh it was just surreal. I don't know how this happened. I literally don't know how this happened. Then all of a sudden, I just hear and kind of like like sort of see like a like a whisper, which I can only just think it's like it was a spur guide, one of my angels. I believe we all have this, and it was like Kirsty, you've gone too far, you need to come back. And then all of a sudden I was aware of my humanness, right? And then I could literally see like my body on the bed, and I was like, fuck, and like I was like, I don't know how to get back, I don't know how to get back, right? I like I I shit myself, and it at the time, so all of a sudden I went from feeling euphoric to being like, oh my gosh, like if I stay here too long, like I'm literally going to die, and I'm not ready to leave, I've got kids, man. Right, and it it like so I went from feeling euphoric to like sheer panic, right? And um I was like, I don't know how to get back. And at the time, because when you're in terror, time goes really slowly, it felt like ages. In reality, it was probably seconds, minutes. Um, and then somehow I was just like, I need to get back, I need to get back. And then all of a sudden I was like on the bed and I was back, and I was like, fuck. And it was the most amazing experience, but it also terrified me for a really long time because um, and I actually kind of shut down, I think, some of my spirituality for a little while after that because I was so scared of like, oh my gosh, what if like I just like pass over? Like if I go too far and like um I pass over. Now I'm I don't worry about that because again, like that experience happened, and I think it happened to kind of like show me that. But also like I got back once, so I'll do it again. But also I think like again, I can trust myself like I will come back, you know, unless like my time is literally, you know, ready. But also I think my spirit guides probably helped me come back as well. So I think like as soon as I said they were like, okay, let's get let's get you back. Um but so like but as I say, it kind it kind of scared me for a while, and um but I feel like that happened to me because I think the universe kind of wanted to to like just really um yeah, just like really show me that you know there is there is spirit, there is these other realms. Um, but for that reason, that is why um I don't believe in people trying to force it because you know sometimes and I don't know if this is what's happened, but I do think this is what's this is what could happen for some people, you know, like how sometimes you know people just don't wake up or whatever and they don't know what's happened. I sometimes wonder if they've had this experience. And um, because as I said, like I was literally just on the bed. So if if anybody had came and found me, it would have just looked like I felt asleep and just never woke back up. Like that's kind of how it would have gone, and like people would have been like, we don't know what happened, like we can't explain this, okay? And after that, um, I'd so at the time I used to go to this regular sound bath in Bournemouth, and this the person who did the sound bath, she was like really very clear, um just very tuned and very tapped in, you know, with with spirit and with talk to spirit, and like she just had travelled all the world and she had lots of um wisdom and lots of gifts, and like I just just really liked her and thought she was a really beautiful human, um, and all of that. And I told her about it, and she was like, Oh my gosh, Calastie. And I was like, What? She was like, be careful, and she wasn't trying to scare me, but she was like, you can literally pass over, like that can literally happen, right? Um, she was like, you can go too far, you know, and again, like I think so. That is why like I don't um again, this obsession with trying to transcend and trying to have out-of-body experiences, um, I don't think is good for us. One because again, there there are risks, and if you're in a stage of your life where like you're trying to like end your life, it's this is not what you need. Like you you need to go and speak to somebody else and get some support and stuff, right? Um, but also because so like I said, that kind. And literally, like literally can happen. And again, I don't want to scare anyone. Like, I'm not saying it will, and I'm not saying there's no benefits and all of that. But again, I think it can be problematic because and I think people can get addicted to that high. Like, so I had that experience, but I've never tried to recreate that experience. You know, and that's the same with anything, you know, like we do, we can chase things and we can get addicted to things. So I don't think we should be trying to do it. I think we're meant to be on the human realm. And then also it can become another thing that um can just be people can use to um you know, to sort of have power over you and like where you're constantly having to optimize yourself and again, quote unquote, become more enlightened and become this. And it actually stops you from living your life and seizing the moment and just um enjoying your life and spending time with friends. Like if you're always trying to be better and be more enlightened, again, it's that very religious kind of um dogma thing, but just with a different kind of lens of like there's something wrong with you, and you need to fix this, and you constantly need to like a be a better person and do this. And I'm not saying we shouldn't ever look at our stuff, like it's deeply served me to to look at behaviours and to look at like my shit over the years, right? But it there is there is a you know, there is there is a line, and only you can decide where that is. Um, but I'm just really discerning with any kind of teachings that are about like you becoming more enlightened, you becoming more this, you becoming more that. I'm like, no, be be human, be human, be your beautiful, glorious, fully um messy, and again, I don't really believe in saint sinner, but like your saint sinner self. Um, you know, and like but just do in a conscious way, you know, like we don't want to go around and hurt people and like all of that. Um, but I do, I just don't think we're a project that we should be constantly trying to, you know, get rid of this part and that part. I think it's like about integrating you know all different parts of us. So I need another drink, it's so fucking hot. Like um, I'm literally recording this sat in in a bikini top and um like my my pants, my my underwear. It is um we're having a heat wave here in the UK, and because I'm recording, I have to have the fans off because obviously all the noise will come down and all the windows closed. Um, so this is how much I love you. I'm baking for you right now. Um, so I'm gonna be like drinking like a lot throughout throughout this. Um but yeah. And your relationship with spirit is probably gonna be completely different to mine, and that's a beautiful thing, right? Again, we all have different gifts, we all have different things. So for me, um I as I say I've had I have visions come through. Obviously, I had that outer body experience. I've had like lots of trippy things that have happened in my life. Um, and when I say lots, I don't mean as in like stuff like that happens um all the time, but I've definitely had um things like that happen multiple times in my life. Um not multiple outer body experiences, but like just like weird in in insane, insane things. Um but also like I don't have that ever to that level, like every day, you know, every week. There are things that you know don't happen that much, but if I was I'm 40 now, if I was to go through my whole life, there'd be multiple ones of those things, you know, all different, but but those those kind of things, okay. For me,

Clairaudience Channelled Nudges And Manifestation

SPEAKER_00 47:45

how it mostly comes through is um cle what we often call clear audience, where um I will just have something come through and um I won't hear it necessarily. So clear audience is when you hear something, it's like um they often call it like um clear hearing, right? But I won't necessarily hear it externally, like I it's not like um all of a sudden I'll hear music playing externally that only I can hear and nobody else can hear, right? It's often I'll hear it in my head, and I think most people have this. Um, but again, you might not, or it might be so um like uh lowered down that you don't notice it as much. But I bet you have some of these, and some will be stronger, right? So this is one of my strongest ones where um um and this works really well for me with the work that I do. So obviously, with the work that I do, I'll often take people through like um meditations, like I'll do events and stuff. Obviously, I'm coaching, I'm mentoring people and stuff, right? And I will just have things come through. Um, and what we often call this is like something's like channeling through, right? And again, be discerning with anybody that's saying, like, oh, I'm channeling this and I'm I'm channeling that, but also it is a thing, like I I channel things through, but again, it might what somebody's channeling through might not be aligned for you, um, and they also might have a very patriarchal thing, or they might have another agenda, okay? And also just don't put anybody like that on a pedestal because I'm telling you, you are channeling stuff through all the time, like you're not just getting like wisdom from what you know from the human, um, from from your experience being human. I'm telling you, you just might not be aware of it. Because often when we think of these things, we think of these like big um sort of grand things that we'll like see on films where it's like they, you know, when you see spirit on films and they like people can like literally hear it externally rather than internally. So we often just don't acknowledge it. But for the most people, it doesn't happen externally because if it did, you'd shit yourself and you'd probably think you'd gone crazy, right? So if you literally just saw spirit like literally like in front of you, um, a lot of people would be frightened of that, of you literally started like hearing music blasting out, right? But there wasn't actually music blasting out, right? What would happen? You'd probably um well they'd they'd they'd probably um let's be honest, hospilize you because they'd think you'd gone mad, right? So there's a reason that doesn't happen for most of us, because and especially for women, because they would literally do that. Patriarchy would literally do that. And in past, think about it, like, you know, we literally got burnt at the sex. Imagine you were like, oh my gosh, can nobody else hear that music? And you started um that so there's a reason spirit doesn't do that for most of us. One, because you would be scared, but other people would get scared, and also they'd have a reason to like literally like call you mad, crazy, and and hospitalize you, right? So like that's why sparrow doesn't do that. Doesn't do that, you know, it's like it's you know, like I kind of think of nature, look at like birds and stuff, and you know, like they're tweeting and communicating with each other, right? But imagine like you saw, I don't know, a bunch of pigeons, and like they were like like talking in the language we speak in, right? What would happen, right? People would come along, governments would come along, they would probably like take all if all the pigeons were doing that, right? They would take all the pigeons and they'd be like, what is going on? And all of that, right? So that's that's not what happens, and you know, that's some weird analogy, I know. Um we're just gonna go with it. Um but my point is, right, people would would freak out, and that birds don't need that, they have a way to communicate with each other, right? So spirit doesn't need to do that, and it's not supposed to communicate with you on the human way, right? Because it is a it's not it's not human, it is spirit, it is different, right? So what happens for a lot of us is we will hear things, right? And it could be a word, it could be um a phrase, it could be a name, it could be a song, it could be so I've had it before where um it literally be like a song lyric or something will kind of come through, and then I'll be like, oh. But it's like, and then I'll like listen to that song, and it's exactly what I needed, like it was just so healing, or there was a message in it, or even just that line would be really um really powerful. Um, you know, like sometimes like I've as I say done meditations and stuff, and people be like, oh my gosh, like I needed to hear that, like that shifted something that landed, or that was um or like another thing that's happened to me before is I've had um literal like instructions to do something, and again have your discernment, listen to your intuition, see if it feels aligned, right? But I've had things where like it has, and I've acted on those things, and like the things that have kind of happened and stuff for me. I'll give an example. So I don't have a big social media following, and my social media has been like literally like dead recently. Um, and again, there's been you know, like it's always hard and it's always annoying when that happens because I want my work to get out there and I want it to be seen. But there's been a weird gift in that of like Kirsty, can you trust yourself and love on yourself when you're getting your external validation? Um, but if you do follow me on social media, um I think most of my cob podcast listeners must not use social media because I see you every Monday, like straight on it, listening to this podcast, and um like by social media engagement is like non-existent, okay? Um, but I weirdly now if you do follow me on social media, do send me some love, do interact because it really helps this get get seen. Um but I do weirdly think there's been a gift in that because it's like universe kind of going, can you be sturdy in yourself even without all of that, right? But in 2022, to get back to this, I had this literal like it was like do this, right? And it was literally um a reel that it wanted me to create and a voiceover it wanted me to use, and then that reel went like viral, like my version of viral, you know, everybody's version of viral is different, but I think it was like over a hundred K um views and like loads of serves and like nine, ten thousand, I think it was like nine thousand likes or whatever, right? Um and like yeah, it was it was just insane, and I've had yeah, I've had experiences like that like sort of a few times, um, or like so again on the Alchemy podcast episode, like I I mentioned that I'd listened to a podcast that really just had this like insane experience. And again, it was like look up this thing, and um, and that's the amount of times that I have it'll be a podcast or something that I'm not even following, or a book, or something I'm not, and then it will just literally come in like internally, like I'll kind of hear it, like it'll be like the title of a song or the title of a podcast or whatever, and then I'll start listening to it, and I'm like, holy shit, like this is the thing that I've been struggling with in my life. This is the thing that I've been worrying about, like this is what I've been asking for, and like it's come through. And this is what I often say to people with like manifestation and with spirit. Sometimes, like, you know, the thing that you're putting out there can just manifest, it can just happen, but it's like you're meant to live the whole human experience and to go through um trial and errors, and like there's no avoiding that. Usually, what actually happens, I call it like I've been talking about this for years, build a house manifestation where it's like you'll be given um what I call like bricks. So, like if you think of like build a house, like you know, um you get one brick and you get another brick and you get another brick, and then eventually you kind of have a house. This is how I think like a lot of manifestation happens, where it's like you're not given the whole the whole thing, the whole pie, you're giving these like bite-sized pieces. Um, and a lot of us think like it's not working, but it's like because we don't actually listen and we don't actually follow those things. Um, yeah, and the amount of times I've had stuff like that, and yeah, nobody's told me about this, nobody's like recommended it, like I haven't searched it and stuff. It is literally internally came through. And it's been, and as I say, then I'll like look that thing up and I'll be like, holy shit. And it'll like unlock something. So um, and there's more claires, um, but we're already at nearly an hour, so I will leave it there. But like, if you don't know about the clairs, this is something that you can Google, you can uh look up, and you can just see which ones are um are stronger, are stronger in you. So that's how the clairs work, that's how I see the clairs, that's how I I see spirit. Um, as I say, just you know, I I guess some of them potentially are well some of them clearly are, um, like us in terms of um, you know, they have that, you know. So if it's somebody that's like passed over and stuff, they have that kind of more, I guess like figure of of a human kind of sort of energy. Some some some are not, you know, um, but like some are like sort of archetypes, and sometimes it is more of an energy, it is more of an an intelligence. Um yeah, a bit like AI. And I do think AI and like probably came through with spirit spirit as well. Like I I I think it's a very you know, like let's talk about some astrology and let's talk about um tarot, but like in an astr in astrology, like it's like a Uranus energy, you know? And again, and how us humans use that can we can use it really mindfully, really ethically, um, really consciously, and good things can come out of it, or we can use it in a really um destructive way, you know. Um so we can use these things really m mindfully to um things that we don't think about, you know, to um you know, problem solve like all the shitshaws uh in the world, um or people will use it to to do the opposite and just basically get what get what they want into hell with everybody else, you know, and just be a very self-indulgent thing. It's it's all the same. So I want to um now talk about two more things. I

Tarot As A Framework For Alchemy

SPEAKER_00 58:52

want to talk about tarot and um astrology to to wrap this up. So tarot is something that um I've been interested in for a really really long time, but I was more um Oracle, was more Oracle based. And then so I had a tarot deck for I've had a tarot deck for a really really long time, and this tarot deck I had um I just didn't like it just wasn't feeling completely right, wasn't feeling completely aligned. And then um my friend Hannah, who I run Pink Alchemy with, the next Pink Alchemy event is 7th of August. So if you're interested in that, um go and check it out on my website. Um but she has a real love for tarot, and now she's created that that love in me, and she uh does this event called Taranty, where you kind of learn about tarot and all of that. Um, so I was already interested, and be I was like, oh, so I'm gonna do this. And um because the the perfectionist in me, even though um her event tar and tea, it's a it's a really beautiful event, there is like you know, there's no pressure to to know things. The idea is you go there to learn things, right? And then you practice reading on each other and like you can be a complete beginner and like literally know nothing, right? But the the perfectionist in me um and the one the the person who like really wants to do a good job and stuff, through going to Taranty, I was like, I like I I actually want to be able to like do a decent reading and stuff for somebody. And then also I am somebody that will really listen to to my intuition, and if something's like really, really um just really powerful, um, and I'm somebody like I go all in. Like if I if I if I like something and something clicks, um and then so I realized actually tarot. So first of all, tarot oracle, all of these things are a tool, they're not something to outsource your power to, they're not something that um yeah, like they can't necessarily tell you this is going to be the future and all of this, but I do think sometimes they can give insights on that. I've had experiences like that, but I think any of that, take it with a pinch salt. There's a lot of people who don't like to see tarot is like fortune telling for for good reason, because there's free will, because again, it could become very hierarchical, you know, like outsourcing your power and all of these things. So, and also like if somebody says to me we can start like living our life that way, right? But I think for me it's a really, really beautiful tool because it gives you um a structure and it can give you insights and connect you with your intuition, and as I said, like a different like sparrow can come through, like a different form of intelligence, right? And what I love about Tara over Oracle is you can get a lot more Pacific. But what I particularly love, and I might be telling you things that you're already like well aware of if you're already into Tara, right? But Tara is broke up into like what they call the major and then minor arcana, right? And I see so I'm obsessed and fascinated with with alchemy, right? Because I just really believe that um as humans, you know, life is going to life, and um, you know, like part of the human experience is that um, you know, we're gonna experience things and not everything we're gonna like, but I really do believe that you're here to live authentically to you, right? All that to say is there are going to be things that are gonna come up in your life that um are not always gonna feel good. And for me, it's I'm like, so alchemize those things. Like alchemize those things and not in a way of constantly um self-optimizing, not in a constant way of constantly striving and trying to bypass and not be with the hard things, but just because it's your life to live, and if you're gonna live it, it should be in alignment and authentic to you. And that is not a coincidence, right? That is going to, I always say it like this: like, we we know, um, for instance, like working out is is good for us. We know brushing our teeth is good for us, right? If we don't do those things, um, you know, like our bodies become stiff, our teeth will fall out, right? So this is the same thing. So, like to me, like alchemy is when things feel off and all of that. It's like you come back to yourself, you bring things back into alignment, right? And that is like it just like you're never gonna have to not brush your teeth, and you're never gonna have to not move your body in some form of way. I think, and not everybody does it, but like you're never gonna have to not do alchemy if you want to have the best life, and it actually gets to be a really beautiful thing. If you listen to my episode on like knowing when to walk away, when to um lean in, I talked about like you know, you're going to get hungry in life, right? And that's a beautiful thing, right? So that's the point. You're gonna get hungry, there's gonna be things that in your life you're gonna be like, oh, this doesn't feel right, this feels a bit off, and all of that, right? And you're gonna want to create alchemy, right? That's why this podcast is called Truth and Transformation, right? You're gonna want to at times like transform certain areas of of your life. As I say, I can't say enough, not because you're on this constant, like trying to constantly escape where you are and optimize everything and all of that, that's exhausting, but just because things are gonna life's gonna life and things are gonna come up, right? So, what I see tarot is is a is a tool where you can connect deeper with your intuition, you can get insights, as I say, you can get that, you can see things that maybe it can help you kind of see, as I say, like a different kind of lens, a different kind of intelligence and and all of that. That's kind of how I see it, right? But it's a lot more Pacific than than Oracle, like there is a formula to tarot, right? And I got like when I realized that, because I hadn't really realized that straight away, um, I was just like, I was like, oh my gosh, like I am obsessed with this. This is like genius, and also for something that is, you know, been around like a really, really long time, I was like, oh my gosh, this is like a real channeled thing because um it's just way ahead of its time. So a lot of the original kind of tarot, if you look at kind of the imagery and stuff, it is very dated and it is very um the imagery and stuff is very patro patriarch can't even say the word patriarchal on the original lens, right? But like you can um use the tool and you can kind of like honor the the tarot and its roots and stuff, but kind of like you know, uh bring them a modern perspective on it. But when I, for instance, looked at say the the major and the minor, I was like, oh my gosh, this is genius. Because the the major arcana really is um the journey of alchemy, it's broken up into 22 steps. Now when I teach alchemy, I'm not gonna give you 22 steps, like that's far too much, and that's far too overwhelming, right? But Akashia was just like, oh my gosh, this is literally the journey of alchemy, right? So it starts off with the full card, right? The full card is like, you don't know the all the answers, you are a bit naive, but you're like, Whoo, I'm gonna go for it, right? You have to be willing, it's called the fool for a reason. You have to be willing to look like a fool, right? And I was just like, oh my gosh. And then as it goes on, it is like all these steps that all of us go through, whether we realize it or not. And what I realized is through doing it, I was like, oh, I can get really like pacific, whether on myself or whether I'm working with somebody else and working with a client as a tool of a framework. I'm like, that's the stage they're in, or that is the energy that again, if you look at it from an archetypal thing, that would be really powerful for them to work with, right? And then you've got the minor, which is like you get really pacific on the nitty-gritty of like how it's showing them up in their day-to-day lives. So I really believe like tarot is like a really, really um powerful way to like just to create a framework, to create a you know, to have a tool, to have a a structure, because what happens as humans, like we get overwhelmed and you know, can all feel a lot, and it can literally give us like I guess a map. Like I always say, like, there is no Pacific A to Z map. Um, but actually, tarot can give you it can't give you all the steps, but it can give you some rough kind of thing, and again, you have to check in with yourself, but it's not about giving your power away to the tarot or to this thing outside of you, it's actually you know, an opportunity to come home to yourself, which I also think can sound a little bit cliche, but it is it is that. And um, I'm actually going to be starting um what I'm calling astral tarot activation sessions where like I will I will do this with you. We'll be going through the major and the the minor thing, I will be using the astrology dice and um like doing some alchemy and all of that, and I'm really, really excited um about that. Like I've just really like just just absolutely like fallen in love with um tarot. Um, and um yeah, it's just and then I've saw the power of it and I've like done some sessions with people and it's been really powerful, and I was like, this is too good to to not offer it might already be out when you're listening to this because I'm recording this in advance. Um if you're listening to this as soon as it comes out, I don't think it'll be out quite yet, um, because there's some bits that I need to um to to do to to bring this to you. Um but yeah, Tarot is a really good um, yeah, like it's a it's a really, really good tool. And

Astrology Charts Transits And Personal Power

SPEAKER_00 1:08:50

then the other thing that I want to talk about is um astrology. I love astrology. Astrology is oh, it's um again, I I I just have a deep love for astrology. Um, and to be honest, most things woo, um, I have some form of love for there's things that, as I say, that I'm really discerning about that I really don't like, that I'm really skeptical, but as a general thing, I I I love the woo stuff because I've really seen the power in that. Um, but as I say, not everything's for me, but astrology again, depending on how it's taught, the same with tarot, the same with like um how people teach um spirit guides and how they teach the class, you know, if it's it's taught in a way that again feels aligned for me. I love these things. So a lot of the way astrology is taught, I don't like if I'm honest, but astrology in itself that I love. So I don't like it when it's taught again, this very hierarchical thing of like outsourcing your power. When people teach it as like, oh, this transit's happening and this is happening, and this means that your life's gonna blow up, or this means you're like whatever it is, right? Not into that. Um, or when it's taught as a like you need to do this and you need to do that on this cycle and this, that, and the other. And also, I really believe in the power of aligning with um, you know, the the cycles and the seasons. That just makes sense to me because like you can't um you're not gonna outpower like the cosmos, the the planets, Mother Earth, right? And I just think we would have once overdone this, we would have like gathered under like the full moon and like all of that. We would have been more in tune with nature. So I love astrology for for two reasons, right? I always resonated since a little girl, um, with so my sun sign, or sometimes people call it star sign, is Pisces, right? And a lot of people were just like, oh, this is bullshit. Like, I don't resonate with mine at all. I always did, which I think created this love for it. And now I know why that is, because so like you can be one sign, but like basically based on when you were born, and I might be preaching to stuff you already know. Like, if you listen to this podcast, you're probably heavily already into the woo, so I might be um you know, like preaching to the choir here. You might be like, I already know this, but I want to do this episode for people who don't have as much clued up when it comes to astrology and stuff, right? But there can be people who can be like, yeah, no, astrology is bullshit and like all of that, and it's because when they look up their their sun sign, their star sign, they don't resonate with it at all. And um actually when I learned about astrology, I was like, oh, that actually makes sense. And again, I'm not here to convince anyone. Although if you listen to this podcast, I feel like you'll this will be your vibe and you'll already be like, Yeah, no, I love astrology. Um, but it's because actually, so a lot of their sun sign and star sign is that um, like the you have to look at their whole astrology chart, right? And they may have things that are completely um basically kind of counteracting that. So they could have like um other signs that are basically drowning out more of that um or in contradiction. So it's still there, it still matters, but it's like it's really just not as significant. So it's of course like they don't they don't resonate with it, right? Now for me, so although I'm a Pisces son, I also have Venus in Pisces, and um I have my Mercury in Pisces, right? But on top of that, um I've got like my moon in Cancer, and then I have Scorpio uh as my South Node, as my um rising, as my Pluto. So I've got so much water in me, so of course I resonated heavily with um being Pisces, where somebody else they might literally only have that planet and it's being um massively impacted by other things, right? So I don't believe like that um something as strong and as big as the planets and all of these things cannot impact us. I don't. And not that the moon is like, you know, classed as a planet, but we know that like the moon affects the tide and all of these things, right? I think it is really, really naive to think that, especially when we know like the the the seasons and you know all of that like affects like animals and like all of these things. I think it's very naive to think that these things don't impact us, right? Now again, I think um, like anything, these things can be exploited and you know, to to sell you something and it can be become another thing. Um, so I'm not into when I see astrologers like um, you've got to follow this transit, you've got to follow this, and this and this is what's happening, this is what happened, and it becomes a putting that person on on a on a pedestal type thing, not not into that at all. But I do think you um knowing a little bit more about astrology and um you know, if that feels like the aligned move, so some people astrology will feel powerful, some people maybe it's human design, some people terror might feel more powerful, some people it'll be more of a witchcraft journey, it'll be more working with the class. It's like whatever feels aligned for you. But I think if it feels aligned, I do think astrology can be a really, really powerful tool, right? So there's two things main ways that I like to work with it. Well, actually, three. So one is um using kind of astrology is like um in a like an archetypal way. So again, I'm really big on archetypal work, so you can use this with either astrology cards or with astrology dice. I like to use astrology dice, I use astrology dice in in my sessions, and um it's just it's really powerful. Um, and it and again, it can be a way of really um honing in on what's coming up for somebody, like areas of their life and stuff, right? So that's one way you can use it, like an oracle, like uh what energies and stuff are coming through. That's that's the way that I often use it. Um, you can also use it if you have access to being able to get um your astrology birth chart, that can be really powerful. Not everybody can do that. So to get your full astrology birth chart, it is free, but you need to know certain details. So you need to know the exact time you were down born down to the minute and the area, um, you know, town, city you were born in, right? Now you can get other things without all that detail. So you can get your um probably get your sun sign, unless the sun was literally, you know, move sign on that day, you might not be fully sure on your sun sign, right? But if you have all that information, and I believe if you don't, then this is not the path for you, and it'll be more powerful for you to not go down it. Or if you really, really feel like that is the path for you, there are people who are so so so clued up on astrology. I can't recommend anyone because it's not a path I've had to go down, that have ways of being able to retrieve that information, it's not something I know about, but if you're probably gonna have you're gonna have to get somebody really good and it's probably gonna cost you a lot of money. So, unless that feels completely aligned, I really believe if you can't get access to that information, you are not meant to, but you can still use astrology in other ways. So, whether it's like you can use it as an oracle or you can use it via the transits, which I'll talk about in a minute. Um but if you are somebody that can get access to that information, I really think this is powerful, and as I say, if you can get it down to the minutes, even more powerful. But um, there are some things, even if you can't get it down to the minute, you will be able to find. So, as I say, unless the sun literally changed that day, you'll be able to find your sun sign. There's a good chance you might be able to find the moon sign. The moon changes about every two and a half days. Um, outer planets again, unless they happen to change on that day, and I assume you know the day you were born, although some people don't. Um, there's still a lot of information that you can get, but if you can get it down to the minute, then and I I think if you're listening to this, I do think there's a good chance that this will be really powerful for you. You literally can just go on Google and type in free astrology chart. There's different websites that will come up, right? And you can download a free astrology chart. I use astro.com, but there's lots of different ones out there, right? And this will give you um your sun sign, your moon sign, your rising sign, like all of that. Now, the reason that I love this is because it literally changed something for me on a really powerful fundamental level. When I read my um astrology chart, I was like, fuck, this is literally me to the T. Now, again, certain bits, if I was to look up um, you know, certain people like the generic stuff, maybe not, but when I started looking into it myself, it was so specific to me. I was like, holy shit, and it was deeply healing for me because what I came to realise, I was like, oh my gosh, I was literally born this way. It's corny as that sounds like I think of Lady Gargo, like, you know, baby, I was born this way. And not only was that healing for me, and it stopped me judging myself and sharing myself, um, but it was also good for my relationships because I started realizing I was like, oh, we need it all, we need diversity. This person is literally born this way, and this person is literally born that way. And that doesn't mean we go, oh, they're just born this way, and if they're doing like corrupt, dodgy shit, we kind of just ignore it. No, it it means having this appreciation that we need it all. We need some people who are more woo, we need some people who are more practical, we need some people who are more um feisty, we need some people who are more placid, right? We need it all, and it really brought this appreciation, and I was like, oh, there's no, like, there's no mistake in us, and also what it can do is it can help you to really shine a light on things that you may struggle with, weaknesses, but also um skills, right? Because I really believe, you know, we were talking about the Claire's earlier, we all have like a natural kind of more of a genius than some things, more of a skill set that we might not realize. Um, and for me, so even just this podcast, right? This it this podcast literally makes sense, right? Me talking about the woo. Well, when you're water-heavy, so my astrology is very water-heavy, you are generally more interested, not always, again, you've got to look at the whole chart, right? But you'll often be more intuitive, more into the woo, like all of these things. Um, where somebody else who isn't as water heavy might not be, but we we need people who are more like practical and grounded and all of these things, right? But it also made me really realize so sometimes if somebody's heavily in something, they won't really see their own gifts and their own skill set. So, you know, like I've talked about before, I always knew of spirit and I always knew of these things, right? But um, I didn't realise that not everybody did because it was so natural and so innate in me. Like I didn't realise there was anything sort of I guess out of the ordinary. Um, you know, some things perhaps, but there were certain things that I just and it also made sense why like I didn't fit into certain spaces into certain groups. Um and now it's really helped me to kind of really appreciate that and then talk about it and speak about it like I am right now on the podcast because I'm realising, oh, this isn't something that everybody knows. But it's like you will have stuff that is like so unique and powerful to you, and it's just like you just don't necessarily even realize it. Um, the other thing, like this, so this happened before I even realized this. So this podcast is called Truth and Transformation, right? I have a lot of um Sagittarius in me, um, and I have a lot of Scorpio, and that's very much aligned for that. It makes sense why I love alchemy, because um Sagittarius very much cares about like getting to the truth of things, and um you know, Scorpio is like the energy of alchemy, it is of like transformation and all of these things, right? I didn't know this um when I started the podcast, and then I learned about that, and I was like, holy shit. I was like, well, that's not a coincidence. Um, and then yeah, so there was just so many things, it helped me to understand my kids better. Um, and I was like, oh, like my child who was like this, I'm like, oh, they were like designed this way and it makes such sense. And my other child who's like this, I'm like, oh, and like even with my husband and stuff, I was just like, oh my gosh, it really just helped me um appreciate them and just you know, like it just it was just very, very healing and to just see certain things, and then the other thing is um the other way you can work with astrology, so if you don't have your chat, is with transit. So um the you can basically so what people often do is again come in with the kind of the cycle. So traditionally, you know, if it's a new moon, um when it's a new moon, like you set goals and you set intentions, full moons, like you release and all this, it gives you uh a formula, it gives you a structure, it gives you something to work with. Like ritual can be really, really powerful. There's also like the outer planets and stuff do things. Um, for me, because I know um my full astrology chart, like I've had holy fuck moments where so in 2022 a lot of shit happened in my life, and um, if you know anything about the North North and astrology, they're often seen as like destiny insignificant things. Um I had like things happen down to the Pacific day that I could not have orchestrated myself, and again, I'm not saying this is always going to happen, um, but happened on those Pacific days, and I was like, fuck, holy shit. And it it kind of was helpful for me, it was kind of very healing because I was like, okay, whilst this is really, really hard, um it just feels like there was some cosmic shit going on. Um and now I look back years later and I'm just like, oh wow, if that hadn't happened, this wouldn't have happened. Um there's just there's been stuff, there's been stuff like that. And um and again, so then you can use that energy and work with it and channel. Um with it, like you can be really intentional. Again, I don't like it when people are like, right, it's this, you've got to do this and you've got to do that. But there are certain astrological dates that I really love and I think it's really powerful. I don't think you can miss or lose out on anything, like I don't think it's like you have to do this on that day or anything like that. But for me, it's like whether it's you know, some people don't believe in it, but like say say I'm wrong, say there's nothing in it, right? I I believe there is because again, I think you know, it's just it's just that I mean, do we really think we're more powerful than the planets? I think that's like the Lulu, but okay. But like, but say I'm wrong, right? Say I'm wrong, right? Say say it is just the Lulu, right? But there's something that happens when you know you have a tool, you have a structure, you have a a format, you have something to work with, and then the collective are also doing the same thing. So like even if say it was just as I say, just made up, just the Lulu, right? It's kind of like I see it like the placebo effect. You know, like if everybody's doing that and channeling, there's going to be a there's going to be a change. Um, but I do believe so. I particularly love uh Scorpio full moon. Um, I love the 88 portal and I love Sawan. They're they're they're my favourites, and sometimes other things kind of come up and there'll be like major transits and stuff. I've actually stopped now. Um, I don't really follow any other astrologers, um, unless my intuition guides me to something and something's coming up, and I think it's like really important, in which case then I usually talk about it, you know, on my Instagram or on here, but I try not to get lost in that because I just think it becomes another thing to do. So with astrology and all of these things, you know, take what resonates, leave the rest. That's what I do. So I don't follow any of these things of like, oh, this transit's happening and that transit's happening. What the only thing that I do have is I have a moon diary and it will tell me um the transets that are happening each day, and then I feel into what that means for me. I don't like it when people are like, this transit means, and it's like so Pacific, because then people start orchestrating their life by that, and I I personally don't think, and I'm not saying there's not a place for that, um, because there was a very short time when I was into that, but on the whole, I don't think that's actually very good for us. Because I think it actually puts our power outside of us, and then we can like blame, like, you know, oh, it was this thing and it was that thing. And again, I do believe the transits impact us. I do. Um, but it's like we also have to be doing our own stuff, we can't just blame planets, you know? And also I kind of think it's like, you know, like when I talk about patriarchy and um being a systemic thing, I also think it's kind of it's it's the same. Like we, you know, what's affecting, you know, cosmically, it's gonna have an impact. So I think it's all of it, but I just think like use it as a tool, don't outsource, don't outsource, don't outsource your power to it. Um, so yeah, take take what fills aligned, take what resonates, as always, leave the rest. And if you are interested, look out for when the astral alchemy activation sessions um come out. I'm really, really excited for that. The next episode I think I'm gonna do on around like things that are quote unquote seen as dangerous, but are often so so so good for us. So I've come to realise anything that is often classed as quote unquote dangerous is usually very good for us and usually really powerful for us. But again, of course, of course, there can be problems, absolutely. Um so I think I'm gonna be talking about stuff like that, things like Conscious King and all of these things. Um, if not, it's because I've got something better, better planned, better lined up. Um, so it'll be something that I think is either an even better topic or just more in alignment for for that week. Um, I've I've got a list of things that I want to do topics on, so I I will tell you. I want to do an episode on compatibility and like relationship stuff. I think that's really important. Some point I want to talk about friendship, I want to talk about internalized misogyny, I want to talk about the manosphere, do some more stuff around patriarchy, want to talk about money and power, I think that's really important for women. Um, motherhood, invisible labour, um, mental lord, all of these things are going to be coming to it at some at some point. But again, I'm tuning in with what feels in alignment with my own personal transit, but also collectively. Um so that there is a reason things will come when they're in the most perfect alignment. It's basically basically what what I'm saying. But
