In this episode of Conditioning to Consciousness, Jess is joined by returning guest Danielle Polgar, an astrological advisor with over 20 years of study and 13 years of therapeutic client work, to break down the major astrology transits happening right now — and why so many of us feel like we’re living inside a collective “system upgrade.”

While natal chart astrology can help you understand your personal patterns and soul curriculum, this conversation focuses on current transits, including concentrated Aquarius energy, a solar eclipse in Aquarius (Feb 17), Saturn completing a karmic chapter at the final degree of Pisces, and the profound Saturn–Neptune reset at 0° Aries (Feb 20). Together, Jess and Danielle explore how these transits reflect what’s unfolding in the collective psyche: disruption, awakening, destabilization of old structures, and the invitation to reclaim self-agency.

This isn’t astrology as prediction — it’s astrology as pattern recognition, nervous-system awareness, and a grounded tool for navigating chaos with clarity. Danielle offers practical ways to work with the energy — especially through embodiment, discernment, and reconnecting with the present moment — so you can respond rather than react.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• Why astrology can be understood as a kind of cosmic weather report
• The archetype of Aquarius: disruption, innovation, collective consciousness, and the individual’s role within the group
• Why “organized chaos” can be a doorway to death and rebirth
• Locating Aquarius in your chart — and what it may be inviting you to shift
• Why this moment can feel like a Tower moment (and what comes after)
• How nervous system regulation supports self-agency during intense collective change
• Practical grounding tools: embodiment, nature, and returning to the present moment
• Why “no one is coming to save us” is not despair — it’s empowerment
• The difference between reacting from fear vs. responding from awareness
• How to “dream and do”: moving from imagination into aligned action

Key Themes + Takeaways

1) You’re not imagining it — this is big energy

2) Aquarius invites a new perspective — and a new role

3) Grounding is not avoidance — it’s the foundation for effective action

4) The future isn’t something we wait for — it’s something we participate in
