Underdog to Diva is a new framework I'm unfurling. Ostensibly, it's about about navigating success, fame, and wealth. And yet all 3 of these are completely relative terms. So, it's really about much more than this. Underdog to Diva is actually about building a deep connection to your divinity, which looks and feels like deepening into your inherent self-worth, self-love, self-trust, and self-esteem. In this practice, which is a daily, emergent devotion, you fortify yourself for navigating the confusion, the pain, and the weirdness of what I'm calling "the marketplace reality," which is not the same reality as the truth of your divinity. To discover if this framework is calling you, have a listen! Underdog to Diva will have 3 parts in its current iteration: Part 1: this podcast episode, which introduces you to the intellectual and energetic scaffolding of the concept Part 2: an upcoming episode on the podcast Healing the Spirit, hosted by Jonathan Koe, which will deepen the exploration of the archetypes we're engaging with here, and study how these show up in relational contracts Part 3: the paid offering, which includes a 3-hour live transmission on May 9 (3-5 pm CST / 4-7 pm EST) which will be recorded and shared after, a pre-recorded meditation, and a PDF full of self-inquiry prompts, spreads, and exercises for navigating the themes of this framework Doors open May 1!

Kelsey Tortorice and I dive into Human Design, relating HD to our astrology practices, profiles, the 5th line (Heretic) archetype, and what it's like living so merged with the projection field. This the first time ever I've discussed Human Design on Moon to Moon, even though I have been interested for years now and actively studying it since spring 2023. It feels very exciting to bring this in right now. Kelsey is a post-capitalist astrologer, teacher, human design experiMentor, and community initiator.

I am such a major fan of Sabrina Monarch. Sabrina is has always impressed me as someone who owns and embodies her mysticism and her relationship to astrology in ways that are both emergent and grounded. As I say in the intro, if you hang around Sabrina's field you will absolutely deepen your understanding of astrology. The individuals I know who have studied astrology with Sabrina are some of my favorite astrologers. In this episode, we focus on the basics of Evolutionary Astrology: the Nodes & Pluto. Sabrina pulled both of our charts up to discuss how the nodes and Pluto function independently as well as in relationship to planets square the nodes in each of our charts. Chart lovers, this one's for you! Bio: Sabrina Monarch is an evolutionary astrologer, counselor/coach and author/novelist. She gained an unconventional education in creative writing by discovering an online writing community at age 12 and gaining dozens of mentors across the globe who would help her learn how to write for the next several years. She developed an interest in astrology at a young age as well, and took her craft deeper in her early twenties at the same time that her psychic abilities were noticeably coming online. She writes forecasts at www.monarchastrology.com, produces video forecasts on YouTube, and is the host of a podcast about spiritual lifestyle and personal evolution called Magic of the Spheres. She teaches astrology online, including an all-levels Evolutionary Astrology Intensive and advanced alumni courses. Sabrina is widely appreciated for her poetic voice and capacity to name subtle, abstract undercurrents of any particular astrological moment.

In this episode, I share all about my relationship to Promo Magic. I LOVE PROMO! And I am often told I help you to reimagine what a relationship to promo can be like. In the episode we discuss my process, which you're encouraged as always to amend to your taste and affinity... - how I write promo to my younger self - how I do not withhold material ever and let all the goodies spill out everywhere because I trust I am a fountain and there's always so much more to share inside the containers I promote - how I trust that all timing is perfect and I don't get to decide everything about my promos - how I see my offerings as beings outside myself who come to me to be a steward and help them find the humans who are meant for them... my job is to build the pathway for them - how my offerings love that I am reckless in the face of danger for them, how I am willing to be judged and misunderstood for them - promo is always erotic, always - every promo has its own frequency, even containers I have held before - every promo brings me on the next most loving healing journey for myself - promo is an investment for me too - anytime I do anything it might be the last... my offerings like that I am emergent, always... it's how I love them - my attitude for all investments: I cannot fuck up what my heart wants to invest in, and I always get exactly what I came for and more - we cannot possibly know all the reasons why we're drawn to things because it's a mystery that only our soul knows - promo is the same for all price points, including free things - updates from the promo field right now EARLY BIRD IS ENDING FOR THE MAGICIAN'S TABLE THIS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 25!!!!

Sometimes people go to astrologers because they want astrology. They don't care who the person is who is reading for them. That's beautiful. AND I have found it to be true that the real medicine that is coming through is not the modality itself, but rather the unique way it moves through the human being channeling it. It's not about "expertise." It's about presence. And emergence. In this way, whatever you call yourself, whatever particular set of modalities you tap into with reverence, whatever it is you're offering - what's really happening is the love that rolls through you in your sincere connection to your channel that you share with another being. This is so beautiful, and such an unlearning. MY MODALITY IS ME is a conversation about this. The conversation begins around 37 minutes. In the intro, I discuss some of the qualities of the astrological energy field right now, namely what's showing up as Mars and now Venus have been conspiring with Pluto, newly in Aquarius. My main topic of exploration is projection, and how projection will implode our relationships from the inside when we refuse to be with them or shame ourselves or someone else for having them. Let me introduce you to my guests in the order they speak in the episode: Lisa Quigley is a visionary writer, quantum hypnotist, psychic channeler, and intergalactic witch. She's a heretical mystic who practices Glitch Witchery, and she is here to support all the other Glitch Witches across the globe who are ready to remember who they are and claim their “glitches” as their most intentional, magnetic power. Alex (he/they) is a psychic energy reader and healer, medical intuitive, and registered nurse living in Brooklyn, NY. His work is centered around optimizing your wellbeing, reconnecting with your sense of self, and helping you reclaim your space and body. He applies a critical lens to wellness, healthcare, and healing, and believes that healing doesn't have to happen in isolation.  Carly is a galactic nature mystic with a deep love of all things musical, artful and paradoxical and likes to nerd out on neuroscience. Carly worked as a teacher and taught music for young children prior to becoming a parent to two amazing kids. Following yoga therapy training she became certified as a Mindfulness Meditation teacher and is presently completely enamored with her studies of the Human Design framework. Carly is currently working with children, offering mindfulness support through emotional regulation techniques and somatic practices.  Nicole France-Coe (one of the 13th Readers this year) is a devotee to Great Mystery in all Its beauty, pleasure, liminality and dismantling power. I am more at home in the Cracks than the binary and the static. Having been woven together as a queer mixed race mycelial thinker has provided me the blood, bone, root and celestial blueprint for learning how to dance with and at the Cross Roads; a location of fecund possibility, peculiar synergies and emergent orientation. I delight in embodying the archetypal energy of Trickster and color with this energy in my everyday life as a mother, partner, mystic, artist and dreamer. I am both soccer mom and seer and I love being both. Stacia Montenegro. Audaciously Grounded. Sunrise Capricorn. Scorpio Moon. Comfortably at Home in the Deep Emotional Waters of Truth Seeking. Devotee of the HoneyBee, Dragon, Serpent, Venus and Piglet.  Thank you all so much. This was profound.

At every level of my being, I am so excited to share this conversation with the wonderful and marvelously gifted Mary Grisey. Mary is a psychic medium, multidimensional channeler and visual artist based in Los Angeles, California. I am Mary's former student, client, and soon-to-be mentee as I bravely go deeper in understanding my gifts as a multidimensional channeler. In our conversation, Mary shared her story of becoming the woman who widely shares her gifts in the world. We talk about the anxieties of being an evidential medium, and how being a medium is a healing practice in itself as it helps you release your human desire to always be right. We talk about consciousness and the soul, and how it continues to live beyond our human lifetime. We talk about the spirit realm and non-human intelligence. We talk about remembering versus learning our gifts. Mary shares an incredible story of how the spirit of her mother showed her what it was like after she passed on. I especially loved our discussion of grief, and how grief provides the alchemy to open us into our gifts. What an incredible conversation! Thank you, Mary. You are a gift. Mary Grisey has been connected to the unseen world ever since she can remember and works closely with her Spirit Guides. Mary is passionate about connecting her clients to their truest selves, spirit team and loved ones who have crossed over to the Spirit world. She also loves helping other intuitives find their voice in this world whether that be through a 1:1 session or mentorship. Visit Mary's website The Woven Channel to learn about her upcoming offerings and get on her waiting list for a 1:1 session. Follow Mary on IG at @marygrisey. In this episode, we mention our shared friend Rebecca Padgett, who connected us. +++ LEARN ABOUT THE MAGICIAN'S TABLE The Early Bird Deadline is February 25 (updated!). THE HEAT IS ON!

This episode has two parts. In the first 36 minutes, I explore the dialectical relationships between order & play, structure & freedom, self-guidance & community. Inspired by Lily Troia's dazzling image of The Magician's Table is a "sacred sandbox," I riff on how I landed into a channeled pedagogical style inspired by Montessori teachings and the 8 of Pentacles. The second half of the episode features an effervescent and playful conversation with TMT alums Erin Kelley & Lily Troia aka Lily of the Valley. Erin and Lily have both been in TMT twice. Not only do they know each other because they were in the same cohort one year, but - as we discuss - TMT has a way of exponentially growing who you know in the world of magic, mysticism, healing, and the intuitive arts. TMT alums support each other. They become clients, mentors, colleagues, references, collaborators, and cherished friends. It just happens! I don't do anything to promote it or force it. The dynamic runs on its own intelligence. Erin Kelley (she/her) is a writer, ceremonial astrologer, and mystic with a feral heart. With an 8th house stellium, Erin is known for helping others find and effectively utilize their resources. She especially loves using astrology and ritual to assist cycle breakers to build new beliefs, experience more satisfaction, and create space to thrive. When not ensconced in enthusiastic communion with the more-than-human world, you can find her on the internet at slowmagick.com and on Instagram @slow.magick, and follow her writing at The Nature of Invisible Things on Substack. Lily of the Valley (she/they) is a planetary dancer and astral companion living on unceded land of the Miwok Nation in the East Bay of Northern California. They are a mystic, writer, musician, and an all-around rabble-rouser whose intuitive offerings alchemize astrology, tarot/oracle divination, guided meditation, sound healing, energy work, and whatever other modalities want to come forth from their magic bag of trickster elixirs. You can find Lily swimming among the paradoxes, murmurating in the liminal. They want nothing more than for everyone to add their authentic voice to the collective song of liberation.
