how to remember who you are (libra lunar eclipse)
Greetings!  In this episode of the podcast, I embark on a soulful journey of self-reclamation and introspection, of course with the aid of the astrology of the libra full moon. With the scales of Libra guiding us (in the midst of Aries season), we explore the art of rediscovering and embracing our authentic selves, managing expectations, the power of pleasure and play, what to do instead of ghosting/blocking someone, asking for help, and harmonizing relationships, whilst drawing inspiration from an unexpected source at the end - the classic tale of The Lion King.  Tune in 🎧✨

at my best, i rest
Greetings!  Here we are for the first episode of 2024! Amidst the snow and frozen temperatures, join me as I muse about radically resting during the widespread “New Year Resolution season,” making time to be creative, Pluto in Aquarius’s (happening on January 20th) impact, AI, and being efficient rather than being “busy” in the pursuit of our goals.  I also offer practical tips I’ve been using on how to make the most of January’s hibernation nature - giving your nervous system a much needed break and reset.  Tune in✨!

'tis the season to sparkle
Greetings!  Happy November 1🪻! Today, the stars have aligned to remind us that we are indeed sparkly and have the ability to curate wonder at any moment with the help of water and earth.  In this episode I muse about the secrets, mysteries, and transformative energies of Scorpio, all under the enchanting light brought upon by the recent Taurus full moon eclipse. Think adorning the body, cozying up, embracing the titillating, and feeling in our sensuality. It’s truly giving Janet Jackson mixed with Sade✨.  In this season of relating to the body, I delve into a candid conversation of being in touch with our senses, having the urge to beautify ourselves, healing ancestral trauma, and tuning in to the elements. Cheers to your health and to loving and adorning the sacred, shining temple that is your body.  Xoxoxo,  Amayah Monáe
