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 — 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. We’re 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 don’t land or don’t 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 she’d always wanted arrived not from visualizing them, but from staying true to herself long enough to let them.

If you’ve been grinding toward a goal that doesn’t feel good anymore. If your manifestations keep coming in flashes and then collapsing. If you suspect the root of the problem isn’t 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.

We’re 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 “selfish” is actually the highest form of love you can offer the world.

Ryan drops some heavy truths about breaking out of the “people-pleasing” matrix, sharing stories from his hardcore coaching days that will make you rethink every time you’ve been afraid of being “annoying.”

Rachel gets incredibly vulnerable about her year-long experiment with stepping into “the b***h” persona just to prove to her nervous system that the world won’t end if she stops performing for people.

If you’re tired of contorting yourself to fit into everyone else’s box, or if you’re terrified of saying “no,” this is the episode you need to hear. Grab a notebook, leave your ego at the door, and let’s get into it.

What We Discuss:

* [00:00] The goofball mentality: Setting the tone and managing Pierre the dog’s absolute chaos.

* [03:20] The power of Aries Season: Why being selflessly selfish is the key to deep connection.

* [05:25] Venus in Taurus: How to stop shape-shifting and start demanding life meets you where you are.

* [09:00] Ryan’s journey out of the victim mentality and why taking “messy action” beats perfect planning every single time.

* [14:18] The “Stove is Hot” method: Why making mistakes is the fastest way to learn your own boundaries.

* [19:30] Rachel’s year-long experiment: Embracing “the b***h” 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 people’s emotions are notyour responsibility.

* [31:00] Why “No” is a complete sentence (and a mandatory life skill).

* [34:40] The ultimate truth: Why speaking your unfiltered mind in a relationship feels like a natural MDMA high.

* [44:40] Micro-dosing boundaries: How to start small by saying no to the little things.

The Astrology Magic podcast is back & with a new special, guest: Ryan Sprague— Rachel’s soul mate & life partner.

If you’re feeling lost n the sauce right now, this podcast is your path home.

Rachel breaks down the astrology of the collective moment we’re all in right now. Venus, Saturn, and Neptune are converging in Aries — and the pressure you’re feeling to strip back, stop comparing, and figure out what’s actually true for you isn’t random. It’s written in the sky.

Neptune is the oneness — the fabric we all come from before we’re 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 isn’t. Aries brings it all back to the self first. Together these three are asking one question: can you stop measuring your path against everyone else’s 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 — 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 couldn’t 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 what’s actually yours from what never was.

In this episode of the Astrology Magic Podcast, I’m 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 — like an ego death, a truth bomb, or something that radically shifts how you see yourself.

Here’s what I get into:

* What a Mercury Kazimi actually is and why it’s 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 Lively’s 15° Leo Rising is getting lit up 👀

* How the new moon in Leo ties into all of this

* What an ego death really means and how to know if you’re having one

* The astrology behind public exposures (like that CEO caught cheating 😬)

* What this means if you have planets or nodes between 3°–15° 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
