It’s spooky season, so naturally we’re talking about monsters — not the ones hiding under your bed, but the ones that live in your birth chart.

Your temper, jealousy, overthinking — they’re not random flaws. They’re messages from your shadow, the part of your chart that holds the traits you’ve suppressed to stay safe, loved, or in control. When you ignore these parts of yourself, they get louder, showing up as overreactions, burnout, or that thing you swore you’d “worked through” already.

In this episode, we explore shadow work through the lens of astrology. We talk about how transformation and release happen here, and how each element expresses its own “shadow monster.” By the end, you’ll know how to identify your own shadow themes, name your monster, and redirect that energy into something that serves you.

What You'll Discover:

• How the 8th and 12th houses reveal your personal “basement and attic” for shadow work.
• Why your shadow isn’t evil — it’s the part of you that learned to protect yourself.
• The signature shadow monsters for each element.
• How to ask what your reactions are trying to keep you safe from.
• Ways to turn your shadow into an ally through awareness, boundaries, and compassion.
