The Spirit Daughter Podcast

Tonight, Venus disappears.

For most of this year it has been hanging in the western sky after sunset, that bright light you see before any star comes out. The evening star. Tonight, around nine o’clock Pacific, it slips into the exact heart of the Sun and vanishes from view. When it comes back in a few weeks, it will not be in the evening sky anymore. It will rise in the east before dawn. Same planet, completely new role.

That is a cazimi, and this season hands us two of them back to back. Ve...

Mercury stations retrograde on October 24 at 21 degrees of Scorpio, and for twenty days the planet that governs communication, information, and the way you think walks backward through the sign of what is buried.

You already know the warnings. Back up your computer. Do not sign anything. Expect the typo, the traffic, the meeting that moves twice. I want to give you something far more useful, because Mercury retrograde is not coming for your life. It is coming for your story.

Mercury rules the voice, and the most constant conversation in your life is not the...

Every time a planet stations retrograde, the same question lands in my inbox. Should I stop? Stop launching, stop deciding, stop dating, stop asking, stop wanting. The answer is no, and that advice has done more damage to more people than almost anything else in modern astrology, because it teaches you that the sky is something to hide from.

There is a real answer underneath the question, and it is more useful than yes or no. Manifestation has two motions. Calling in, which is the part everyone teaches, and clearing out, which is the part almost nobody...

You know her as The Birds Papaya. Four kids, three and a half million people, the Sports Illustrated runway walk in Miami that went viral while she was postpartum. What almost nobody knows is the thing she says out loud in this reading. She has never once felt confident before doing any of it.

Sarah Nicole Landry has a Capricorn sun sitting in the eleventh house, which is why her sun sign never quite made sense to her. Capricorn builds things that last. The eleventh house is community. So her core essence was never about building her...

Most people write intentions on a New Moon and then never look at them again until the next one. That is the part that is costing you.

A few weeks ago I told you that an intention is not a wish you send out, it is an instruction you send in. This is the other half. What happens in the thirty days after you write it, and why that window is the whole practice.

I walk you through how I actually build a vision: the kitchen, the light, the clothes I pick out, the conversation...

You asked for this one. After the first house mini episode, so many of you wrote in wanting to go deeper into your rising sign, so here is the full hour.

Your rising sign is the sign that was on the eastern horizon the moment you took your first breath, and it changes about every two hours, which is why two people born on the same day in the same hospital can be almost entirely different. I have met twins born twenty minutes apart with different rising signs. It is the most personal placement in your chart...

You called in, and this week I am reading your charts on air. Three questions, three very different charts, and every one of them holds something you will recognize in your own.

Kim wanted to know what a sextile and a trine actually are, and what it means to carry six placements in Capricorn across the ninth and tenth houses. So we start there: a sextile is a gift you unwrap, a trine is a gift you already carry, and a stellium is a lot of power pointed in one direction. Dawn called in from A...

You have already seen the lists telling you what not to do for the next six weeks. This episode is not that. Venus stations retrograde on October 3 at 8 degrees of Scorpio and stations direct on November 13 in Libra, and Venus rules your heart, your self worth, your money, and everything you attract. When it turns inward, you get one of the most healing windows in all of astrology.

I walk you through the whole timeline: retrograde in Scorpio during Libra season, the Venus star point on October 23 when it meets the sun and turns from an evening...

You have set intentions before. On a New Moon. On the first day of the year. On a night when something in you decided things were going to be different. And then two weeks later you could not remember what you wrote.

So this episode is not about how to set an intention. It is about why. Why this one practice sits at the center of everything I teach, when it takes ninety seconds and nobody is checking your work. The answer is not that the universe is waiting to take your order. It is that your...

Gabby Bernstein has written eleven books, was named a thought leader by Oprah, and has been teaching spiritual principles for twenty years. She is also the reason Spirit Daughter exists. I read her first book over a decade ago, and it cracked something open in me that eventually became this whole life. So having her in the room to read her chart is a full circle moment I still cannot quite believe.

Gabby is Sagittarius rising with Neptune in Sagittarius sitting in the twelfth house, which is why people feel the room expand the second she walks...

You already know your sun sign matters for manifestation. It is your core essence, the center of you, and when your inner sun is out of alignment, nothing else in your life lines up either. What most people do not know is that two other planets in your chart are doing the quiet, deciding work: Venus and Jupiter.

Venus is how you attract and how you receive. It is also where your self worth lives, which means you only allow yourself to hold what you feel worthy of. A Venus wound looks like playing small, deflecting compliments...

The twelfth house is the most misunderstood house in the entire zodiac, and it is the one people ask me about the most. What does it mean? What does it mean if I have planets there? What does it mean if I do not? Here is the simplest answer: the twelfth house is the house of the soul. It is where your soul rests. It is your unconscious mind, the part of you that stays hidden from others and sometimes hidden from you.

This is the final house of the zodiac, and I do not think of...

I am an astrologer, but I also have a background in neuroscience, and in this minisode I bring both worlds together. Your sun sign sets an early pattern in your brain, a kind of green light, and your environment reinforces it until it becomes a neural pathway you run without noticing. One of the things it quietly shapes is the specific way you block abundance. None of these are flaws. This is simply the energy running through you, and once you can see it, you can work with it. I walk through all twelve signs by element, name the...

You know Kaitlyn Bristowe as the party girl. The Bachelorette, the mirrorball on Dancing with the Stars, the host of Off the Vine who dances around in a bathing suit and makes you laugh. Her chart tells a different story. Under the Gemini sun sits a stack of Cancer placements, and this is the side of Kaitlyn most people never get to see.

In this reading we go into the depth she keeps hidden. Kaitlyn’s Gemini sun lives in the twelfth house, the most private house in the chart, so the woman the world mee...

We are near the top of the house series with only two houses left, and this week we land in the one people understand the least. The eleventh house is your community. It is your friendships, your network, your platform, and the stage your work builds for you. It is naturally ruled by Aquarius, so it carries that visionary, future facing energy, and it holds something I never want you to forget: your hopes and your dreams.

Where the tenth house is the spotlight and the career you are recognized for, the eleventh house is w...

Everyone braces for their Saturn return like a storm is coming. What almost no one tells you is that Saturn is only one of many returns moving through your chart, and some of them are pure expansion, luck, and reinvention. In this solo episode I go beyond Saturn and walk you through every return you will live through, what each one means, the ages it tends to arrive, and how to work with it on purpose instead of being blindsided.

A return is simple once you see it. Your birth chart is a frozen snapshot o...

We have moved through the depths of the ninth house, and now we climb to the very top of the chart. Welcome to the tenth house, the highest point in your chart and the home of your life’s work. Most people call it the house of career, and it is, but it is so much more than the job you do from nine to five. This is the work your soul came here to do, your public image, your reputation, and the legacy you leave behind for the next generation. In this minisode I break down what the te...

Amanda Kloots does so many things it is hard to name them all. She is a best selling author, a fitness entrepreneur, a television host, and the founder of Proper, a supplement brand built to help you feel good. She is also a single mom and a widow who has walked through public grief and the unimaginable. This week I sit down with Amanda and we start where I always love to start, with her birth chart, and it explains everything. Amanda has Virgo rising, a Sun in Pisces at the very final degrees, a Moon in Capricorn, and...

The ninth house swings the doors wide open after the depths of the eighth house and says, come up for air. There is a great big wide world out there. In this episode I am continuing the house series with the house of travel, philosophy, spirituality, religion, higher education, and your belief systems. It is ruled by Sagittarius and Jupiter, and it holds the key to how you expand your consciousness and search for truth. Your belief systems are rooted in how wide your perspective is, and if you have a narrow view, you will have a narrow belief...

What if the fastest way to change how you feel is already hanging in your closet? This week I sit down with celebrity stylist Erin Walsh, the woman behind some of the most iconic red carpet moments of the last two decades and the author of The Art of Intentional Dressing. We start where I always love to start, with her birth chart, and it explains everything. Erin has Leo Sun and Venus in the eighth house, Capricorn rising, and a Virgo Moon that has spent a lifetime chasing perfect. As we read it together, you can watch her...

The eighth house is where you go all the way in. We are back in the house series with the deepest, most intense house in the chart: the house of transformation, intimacy, shared resources, and the hidden power most of us never claim. In this episode I break down everything the eighth house holds, why its version of death is really about endings that make room for a rebirth, what it means for shared money like inheritance, taxes, and merging finances with a partner, and why it rules the intimacy that begins after the wedding day, when two souls...

This is the one to listen to. On August 12th the total solar eclipse in Leo arrives at 20 degrees Leo, and it will touch every one of us. In my first long solo episode, almost an hour, I walk you through everything you need before the biggest manifestation moment of the year. You will learn what an eclipse actually is and why a solar eclipse is a new moon supercharged, why this one opens an eighteen month chapter as the first in a new Leo eclipse series, and why the seeds you plant now unfold over the next six...

On 8/8 the Lion’s Gate portal reaches its peak, and it is one of the most powerful days of the year to manifest. In this episode Jill opens the portal for you. You will learn what Lion’s Gate actually is, why the alignment of the Sun in Leo, the star Sirius, and the Galactic Center makes this window so potent, and how to use it to come home to your power. Jill breaks down the numerology of 8/8, why believing in your own capability matters more than any wish, and how to jump into your highest timeline. Then it move...

What happens when the woman who broke up your marriage becomes your closest friend and your co parent? Lala Kent and Ambyr Childers lived it, and in this episode I read both of their charts to trace the astrology behind one of the most unlikely friendships you will ever hear. We look at why Ambyr’s Cancer Sun and Lala’s Virgo Sun understand and heal each other, the Chiron in Cancer wound they both carry around mothering themselves, and how co parenting is healing it. Ambyr is closing an eighteen month nodal return in Pisces and Virgo and lear...

Every so often the sky changes the direction it is asking us to grow in, and not for a day but for the next year and a half. On July 26 the lunar nodes moved into Aquarius and Leo, and this is one of the most important shifts of the whole year, and almost nobody is talking about it.

In this minisode I break down what your North Node and South Node actually are, the compass of your soul, and what this new chapter is asking of all of us. The North Node in Aquarius points us toward...

Sheleana Aiyana grew up in and out of foster homes and was on her own at sixteen. Today she is the voice behind Rising Woman and the author of Becoming the One, guiding millions of women home to themselves. In this episode I read Sheleana’s natal chart and we uncover the astrology behind everything she has built.

We start with her Libra rising and the Pluto in Scorpio in her first house that lets her see straight to the depths of a person, then move to the Sun in Aquarius in her fourth house that came he...

Circle July 29 on your calendar. The Jupiter Cazimi is the luckiest, most abundant day of the year, and this year it lands in Leo with a Full Moon in Aquarius arriving just hours later. In this minisode, I break down what a cazimi actually is, why Jupiter entering the heart of the Sun amplifies everything it touches, and how to use this rare alignment to ask for what you truly want.

This is your yes day. It is the day the universe waits for you to claim your greatest expansion, and so we talk about how to...

Marie Forleo built an empire on one idea: everything is figureoutable. Then her Chiron return arrived and the universe handed her a message she never expected. You cannot figure this one out. In this episode, I read Marie’s natal chart and we discover the astrology behind everything she has built, from launching online courses before most people had the internet to teaching millions that marketing your gifts is a duty, not a chore.

We unpack the visionary signature of her Sun in Sagittarius sitting next to Neptune, the Moon in Aquarius that made freedom non...

Ever wonder why you keep attracting the same kind of person? Your chart has an answer. This week we continue the house series with the seventh house, and it is a big one, because it is the first house we reach that sits above the horizon. This is the part of you other people see, and it is the house of partnership, union, marriage, business partners, and every one on one relationship that mirrors you, triggers you, and helps you grow.

Directly across from your rising sign sits the descendant, the cusp of the seventh h...

What if the life you are reaching for is already written into your chart? In this special episode, recorded live at Spirit Daughter Live at The Lighthouse in Brooklyn, I read Lindsey Simcik’s chart in front of a room full of our community, with zero prep and nothing off the table. Lindsey is the co-host of Almost 30, a writer, and a mama, and she let me go straight to the deep end.

We start with her stellium in Virgo sitting in the eleventh house, the house of community, and the imposter syndrome that can rid...

The sixth house will never get the spotlight that the fifth or the seventh house gets, and that is exactly why most people sleep on it. Here is the truth though: the sixth house is where your dreams actually get built, piece by piece, day by day, by you showing up.

In this week’s minisode we continue the house series with the sixth house, the home of your daily rituals, your routines, your health, your work, and the quiet habits that become the foundation of the bigger life you are meant to live. I wal...

What if the life you are reaching for is already written into your chart, and the only thing in the way is where you are standing?

This week I am sitting down with astrologer, tarot reader, and psychic medium Meghan Rose, and it is a rare treat to speak the same astrological language with another reader for a full hour. Meghan carries a Scorpio stellium, and we go straight into why her soul came here for depth, what her North Node in the seventh house keeps asking of her, and how she stopped settling in l...

What if there were one part of your chart whose only job was to remind you that life is meant to be enjoyed?

That is the fifth house, and it is one of my favorite houses in all of astrology. This is the part of your chart that holds pure joy, creativity, and creative expression. It is the house of romance and those first butterflies, of children and everything else you give birth to in this life, and of the willingness to bet on yourself and take a real chance.

The fi...

What happens when you sit down with the person who helped you create your very first new moon ritual and read her chart out loud?

In this episode I am joined by Kaitee Devilling, founder of Moon Body Soul and one of my oldest friends. Long before the workbooks existed, Kaitee and I were roommates sitting on the floor doing new moon circles together. Those circles became the rituals so many of you use today, and one of them helped me manifest my husband. So this conversation is personal.

We go de...

Something major is happening. On June 29, 2026, Jupiter enters Leo, and it will stay there for thirteen months until July 2027. This is not a small shift. Jupiter is the planet of luck, abundance, and expansion, and when it moves into Leo, the energy of the entire collective shifts with it. We are closing the Jupiter in Cancer chapter, which invited us to expand through self-care, nervous system regulation, home, and family. Now we step into something louder, brighter, and bigger than life.

In this episode, I walk you through what Jupiter in Leo means for all o...

What happens when you spend decades playing some of the sharpest, most powerful women on television, and you are still apologizing for your own power in real life? That is the tension I found inside Constance Zimmer’s chart. It is a chart that has always known who she is. The question the stars are asking right now is whether she is ready to fully claim it.

In this episode, I sit down with Constance and read her birth chart live. She is a Libra sun and Libra rising, meaning she leads with pure Libra energy in ev...

Chiron is entering Taurus on June 19, and it will stay there for the next eight years. This is one of the most significant healing transits of our lifetime, and in this episode, I break down everything you need to know about what it means for your body, your sense of worth, and your connection to the Earth.

Chiron is the wounded healer, and when it moves into Taurus, it activates our deepest wounds around our physical body, our self worth, and our relationship to the natural world. This is not energy to fear. It is an invitation...

What happens when you sit down with the founder of one of the most iconic clean beauty brands in the world and pull up her birth chart? You discover that everything she has built was written in the stars. In this episode, I sit down with Tata Harper, founder of Tata Harper Skincare, and we go deep into her astrological blueprint. From Scorpio rising and the alchemist archetype to a Leo sun that commands every room she walks into, this conversation reveals how Tata’s chart shaped her entire brand and philosophy on beauty.

We also talk ab...

We are back with our astrological house series, and today we are diving into the fourth house. This is the most private, most personal part of your chart. It is where your soul rests. The fourth house represents your home, your emotional foundation, your roots, and the inner world that only you truly know. In this episode, I walk through each zodiac sign that can rule your fourth house and explain what it means for your emotional needs, your relationship to home, and the kind of environment that nourishes your spirit. Whether you grew up recreating your childhood home...

What does your birth chart say about how you build a business, show up as a leader, and navigate the tension between ambition and motherhood? In this episode, I sit down with my friend and mentor Natalie Ellis, founder of Boss Babe, host of the Boss Babe podcast, and author of the bestselling book The Freedom Based Business Method. We go deep into her chart and uncover the astrological wiring behind everything she has built and everything she is still becoming. From her Capricorn first house energy and the warrior drive of Mars in Sagittarius to a powerful belonging...
