What if the secret to a long-lasting relationship isnât avoiding conflict, agreeing on everything, or constantly keeping your partner happy?
After 10 years together, Rachel and Ryan have found themselves returning to the honeymoon phase again and again. But not because their relationship has been perfect. In fact, itâs been quite the opposite.
In this episode of the Astrology Magic Podcast, Rachel brings Ryan on for a conversation about love, relationships, and the deeper dynamics that have allowed them to continually reinvent their relationship while maintaining both deep intimacy and individual sovereignty.
Inspired by Venus retrograde in Libra, they explore what it means to create balance in a relationship without sacrificing your own needs, why letting things get messy can actually deepen intimacy, and how learning to recognize your own ego and projections can completely transform the way you experience love.
They share personal stories about navigating differences in sexual desires, holding boundaries without building resentment, challenging conventional relationship expectations, and learning to respond rather than react.
This isnât about telling you how your relationship should look. Itâs about inviting you to question the stories youâve been told about love and discover what authentic relating looks like for you.
In this episode, we explore:
* Why Rachel and Ryan keep finding their way back to the honeymoon phase after 10 years together.
* The relationship between intimacy and sovereignty, and why you donât have to sacrifice one for the other.
* Why constantly compromising to keep the peace can create resentment.
* How holding your boundaries can actually create deeper connection.
* Navigating differences in sexual desires without pressuring your partner or abandoning yourself.
* Why sometimes the biggest breakthroughs in relationships happen when youâre willing to let things get messy.
* The role of ego in relationships and how conflict can become an opportunity for growth.
* Why responding instead of reacting is one of the most important relationship skills you can develop.
* How to recognize your own projections instead of making your partner responsible for your emotions.
* The importance of resilience, discomfort, and staying power in long-term relationships.
* Why taking space during conflict can be more productive than trying to force a resolution.
* How to stop keeping score, bringing up past arguments, and building resentment.
* Why internal security and self-responsibility can make you more attractive to your partner.
* How laughter, playfulness, and love can emerge from even the messiest moments.

The Aries New Moon landed at 27 degrees, and the Sabian symbol said everything: a large, disappointed audience. Not as a warning. As a mirror.
In this episode, Rachel unpacks why so many of us reach the goal we worked so hard for â and feel nothing when we get there. Why we perform our way toward the life we want instead of living our way into it. And what it actually takes to stop.
This one goes deep. Weâre talking Chiron conjunct this New Moon (the wound underneath your willpower), Uranus at the final degree of Taurus (the last push to raise your standards before everything shifts), and the real reason your manifestations either donât land or donât last.
Rachel also shares her sexual healing journey in depth, and links to the full article she wrote on it below. What happened when she held the line even when it was terrifying. What came into her life as a side effect of that. And why the things sheâd always wanted arrived not from visualizing them, but from staying true to herself long enough to let them.
If youâve been grinding toward a goal that doesnât feel good anymore. If your manifestations keep coming in flashes and then collapsing. If you suspect the root of the problem isnât strategy this episode is the one.

The Astrology of Mid April 2026: Aries season is firing up more authenticity.
In this episode, Rachel sits down with her partner, Ryan Sprague, for a conversation that takes that cosmic weather and brings it way beyond the stars.
Weâre talking about the raw, messy, and sometimes brutal reality of stepping into your true identity.
With this Aries energy blazing and Saturn demanding some structure, this episode is a masterclass in why being a little âselfishâ is actually the highest form of love you can offer the world.
Ryan drops some heavy truths about breaking out of the âpeople-pleasingâ matrix, sharing stories from his hardcore coaching days that will make you rethink every time youâve been afraid of being âannoying.â
Rachel gets incredibly vulnerable about her year-long experiment with stepping into âthe b***hâ persona just to prove to her nervous system that the world wonât end if she stops performing for people.
If youâre tired of contorting yourself to fit into everyone elseâs box, or if youâre terrified of saying âno,â this is the episode you need to hear. Grab a notebook, leave your ego at the door, and letâs get into it.
What We Discuss:
* [00:00] The goofball mentality: Setting the tone and managing Pierre the dogâs absolute chaos.
* [03:20] The power of Aries Season: Why being selflessly selfish is the key to deep connection.

* [09:00] Ryanâs journey out of the victim mentality and why taking âmessy actionâ beats perfect planning every single time.
* [14:18] The âStove is Hotâ method: Why making mistakes is the fastest way to learn your own boundaries.
* [19:30] Rachelâs year-long experiment: Embracing âthe b***hâ inside her to cure chronic social anxiety and people-pleasing.
* [24:00] Emotional Slavery: Ryan tells a wild story about his coach Angelo and why other peopleâs emotions are notyour responsibility.
* [31:00] Why âNoâ is a complete sentence (and a mandatory life skill).

The Astrology Magic podcast is back & with a new special, guest: Ryan Spragueâ Rachelâs soul mate & life partner.
If youâre feeling lost n the sauce right now, this podcast is your path home.
Rachel breaks down the astrology of the collective moment weâre all in right now. Venus, Saturn, and Neptune are converging in Aries â and the pressure youâre feeling to strip back, stop comparing, and figure out whatâs actually true for you isnât random. Itâs written in the sky.
Neptune is the oneness â the fabric we all come from before weâre born into individual bodies with individual lessons. We are literally all the same consciousness getting pushed into different shaped structures, like a 3D printer popping out new forms from the same material. Saturn is those structures, the contrast and friction that teaches us what love is by showing us what it isnât. Aries brings it all back to the self first. Together these three are asking one question: can you stop measuring your path against everyone elseâs and trust what your own energy is telling you?
Rachel is joined by her life partner Ryan, who brings it into real life without needing to know astrology to feel it â how he rebuilt his relationship with guitar by making his only goal one second a day, why letting his calendar go empty led him somewhere he couldnât have planned, what riding his bike over every inch of his driveway at six years old taught him about what it feels like to move from genuine inner aliveness versus proving something, and how his body stopped breaking down the moment he stopped forcing it into a structure built from fear instead of love.
The through line of the whole conversation: Saturn finds its boundaries not by planning the perfect path but by going all in, falling on its face, and learning whatâs actually yours from what never was.

In this episode of the Astrology Magic Podcast, Iâm diving into the spicy astrology of the week: Mercury Kazimi in Leohappening July 31st at 8pm ET.
This is the moment in a Mercury retrograde where things click. Insight drops in. The truth gets illuminated. But with Leo energy and Pluto involved? It might feel intense â like an ego death, a truth bomb, or something that radically shifts how you see yourself.
Hereâs what I get into:
* What a Mercury Kazimi actually is and why itâs a game changer
* Why secrets from last September might finally be coming out now *This is because last September is when Jupiter in gemini (ruled by mercury) squared Saturn in pisces*
* A real-world example: how Blake Livelyâs 15° Leo Rising is getting lit up đ
* How the new moon in Leo ties into all of this
* What an ego death really means and how to know if youâre having one
* The astrology behind public exposures (like that CEO caught cheating đŹ)
* What this means if you have planets or nodes between 3°â15° Leo or Aquarius
* Why Pluto in Aquarius + Moon in Scorpio = major emotional truth reveals
* The empowering side of this energy and how to reclaim your truth
