In this week’s episode of Heavenly Bodies, I sit down with Kiko Soirée and we get into something I think a lot of people are curious about but don’t always have language for — the psychic layer of everyday life.

We’re not talking about crystal balls and neon auras. We’re talking about the subtle moments when your mind quiets and something smarter than your thinking brain starts to come online. That feeling when insight drops in out of nowhere. When you’re writing and the words feel like they’re writing you. When you suddenly know something without knowing how you know it.

Kiko and I explore the idea that channeling isn’t rare — it’s natural. The real question is: where are you already open? Because most of us are channeling all the time… we’re just usually tuned into noise instead of signal.

We also get into media — how it can fragment your psyche when you’re consuming unconsciously, but how it can become a powerful medium when you engage with intention. Books. Music. Art. Deep conversation. Even silence. Different doorways, same current.

And we talk about wonder — that almost childlike state where time drops away and you’re just present. That’s not immaturity. That’s nervous system regulation. That’s access. That’s when perception widens and intuition gets loud.

This one is really about learning to recognize your own psychic architecture. What makes you feel coherent instead of scattered? What makes time disappear? What feels alive in your body?

Because once you notice that current — you can follow it.

And that’s where things get interesting.

This week on Heavenly Bodies, I’m doing something I’ve been spiritually training for my entire mutant life: X‑Men astrology.

Because let’s be honest—the X‑Men are not just superheroes. They are queer scripture. They are outsider mythology. They are psychic trauma in leather. They are chosen family in spandex. And today, I’m assigning them zodiac signs like the cosmic headmaster I was born to be.

We’re decoding the X‑Women (and a few chaotic men) as astrological archetypes, because astrology isn’t just personality traits. It’s power. It’s shadow. It’s destiny. It’s drama.

Have thoughts? Disagreements? A sign you want me to assign next?

In this episode of Heavenly Bodies, I’m diving into one of my favorite archetypes in astrology: Lilith — the original dark feminine, the exile, the truth‑teller who refused to bow.

I start with the myth. Lilith as Adam’s first wife. The woman who refused hierarchy. The one who walked out of Eden rather than submit. Exiled, demonized, blamed for everything taboo — from sexuality to miscarriages — she became the ultimate symbol of the punished, silenced, inconvenient truth.

But Lilith isn’t just empowerment. She’s not cute. She’s not polished. She’s the complicated, messy reclamation of the shadow inside all of us.

I talk about how Black Moon Lilith works in astrology, how she changes expression through the zodiac signs and birth chart houses, and what it really means to “integrate” Lilith instead of projecting her.

We reflect on Lilith in Scorpio — themes of violation, power, obsession, sexuality, and my own Lilith return reckoning with people‑pleasing and desire.

And then we move forward.

On December 21, 2025, Lilith enters Sagittarius, where she’ll stay until September 15, 2026. This is fire. This is motion. This is freedom. This is refusing to look back.

Sagittarius Lilith asks:

• What are you afraid to do?
• Who would it upset if you did it anyway?
• Where in your birth chart does Sagittarius live?
• What truth are you ready to speak out loud?

This transit is about adventure, risk, and forward momentum. Less brooding. More burning.

If you’ve been feeling the urge to leave, launch, say the thing, book the trip, publish the work, or stop apologizing — this episode is for you.

Let’s talk shadow power. Let’s talk exile. Let’s talk about what happens when you stop looking back.

On June 30, 2026, the bright and bold planet Jupiter enters Leo, the sign of leadership, talent and audacity. Jupiter commands a year of synthesis and expansion in Leo, inspiring you to take the lead in your life (and really, considering who is running the show at present, we could really use you). 

Naturally, I get into how Jupiter affects you, and where to look for Leo in your chart. For those born with the sun in Leo, it’s going to be a lit year, but no matter your sun sign, there’s a clear call for each of us to step into our chosen spotlight. The masses are marching themselves into madness; now’s the time for the few to break apart and set sh*t off. To illustrate the themes of this turning point, I call on previous Jupiter in Leo eras and the cinematic debuts which defined them: think Sigourney Weaver as Ripley in Alien, Thelma and fucking Louise, Linda Hamilton doing one-armed pull-ups in Terminator 2, and Charlize Theron serving Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road. Notice a theme? The fire is coming. It’s time for the warrior woman to take charge. This time, you’re at the wheel.

What exactly is Kabbalah, that mysterious mysticism practiced by Jews and celebrities the world over, and what’s in it for you? If you’re curious, but can’t handle wellness sites selling courses, or don’t have patience for reading multiple volumes of arcane Hebrew texts, you’ve come to the right place. This is a primer on the ancient art, without any insanity about colonics or manifestation. 

Kabbalah is a form of study and mystic thought developed by sages around BCE 1000–1300, cemented into the labyrinthine book known as the Zohar. It’s an interpretation of the Old Testament and a collection of stories, dialogues and dreams, which cast Jewish tradition in an erotic, ecstatic new understanding. For me, studying Kabbalah has made the world come online, into an animystic, mesmerizing unified consciousness. I share some of what I’ve learned about this way of seeing the world, and give some guidance on where you can begin, and what you should look out for. And, as it’s May 20th, we simply must celebrate the birthday of the supreme Taurus herself, the one and only Cher. Prepare yourself to have your mind blown.

Gemini Season launches on May 20, bringing the spring to an official close and launching us into an explosive summer. But what is this most-misunderstood sign really about, and how should you best ride its currents? I open the episode with a pull of the Two of Swords, explaining its themes of ambivalence and meditation. That’s what Gemini is: a tuning fork, a channel, a vessel in between extremes. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, and those born under a Gemini sun are often blamed for just saying what’s on everyone’s mind. Apparently, it’s a matter of selecting your frequency, lest you tap into darker channels (think Geminis like the current president, Kanye West and Azealia Banks) or portals of light (Andre 3000, Stevie Nicks and Robyn). 

Now that we know what Gemini is (kind of), I talk about this month’s big events, including a new moon in Gemini, full moon in Sagittarius, Venus in Cancer and Mars in Taurus and beyond. I lay out your personal homework during this geopolitical maelstrom: employing the planets in Taurus, Gemini and Cancer to focus you on your dignity, gifts and potential, as means of facing the apocalyptic war machine. And, of course, I talk about Thelma & Louise and my experience taking acid at an Alanis Morrissette concert, because nobody asked for it!

Bought your first tarot deck and don’t know where to begin? Booked a reading with your favorite astrologer and not sure what to ask? In this special episode, I break down the key elements in opening up and asking for guidance, be it from cards, star charts or any mode of divination. I talk about setting intentions, rituals for before and after a reading, and getting to know your guides (think: inner children, future selves, ancestors, angels, past lives, higher powers and gods) and framing your questions. 

And if you’re giving a reading, or receiving one, what should you look out for? I share some of my personal detectors for calling out bullshit in a reading, and for asking the right questions. I share some of my favorite tarot spreads, along with books that changed the way I practice, including Mary Greer’s Tarot Reversals, Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Way of the Tarot, and Rachel Pollack’s Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom. Whether you’re looking to read yourself or your friends, my intention is to provide you with the inspiration to develop your own practice.

What can the planets tell us about our awakening age of artificial intelligence? Quite a bit, as it happens. In 2023, Pluto, the planet of the underworld, death and fate, entered Aquarius, the sign of technology and new ideas. Only two years into a two-decade Aquarius residency, Pluto has unleashed the dark god of AI, and revealed the cynicism and one-size-fits-all dehumanization at the heart of big tech. Must it end here? What are our choices, beyond strapping into patent leather and doing high kicks, like Carrie-Anne Moss in The Matrix?

To make sense of the future, I pull an opening card: Judgment, which gives us insight into fate, calling, and awakening. What is our individual assignment in this harrowing new chapter? I talk about Pluto’s previous editions, namely in Scorpio (think: the AIDS Crisis in the 1980s and early 1990s) and in Capricorn (flash to the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath). Devastating periods, which did, at great cost, inspire new modes of activism and consciousness. If the heroes of the ACT UP generation can teach us anything, it’s how to face an impossible enemy. 

As for the present? I talk about the final season of The Comeback, and invoke Lisa Kudrow’s Valerie Cherish as a messiah of optimism and originality in an age of pre-arranged playlists and human isolation. We dig into Pluto’s possibilities for reinvention, and for Aquarius’ high aspects of idealism, inventiveness and originality. It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.

What if collapse isn't a crisis, but an initiation?

Beltane, or May Day, marks the peak of Taurus season: fire, fertility, flowers, libido, and the solar god Bel. But this year, a powerful Scorpio full moon pulls us into the underworld, and this week's tarot card is The Tower.

Most people fear The Tower. I don't.

The Tower is necessary destruction. Beltane is creative life force. Together, they're teaching us that renewal requires rupture.

In this episode:

• The true meaning of Beltane and May Day in pagan spirituality
• Taurus season, embodied pleasure, and the Horned God
• The Scorpio full moon and underworld truth-telling
• The Tower tarot: collapse, awakening, rebirth
• The Goddess, the divine masculine, and healing beyond patriarchy
• Persephone and Pluto: death, sex, transformation
• Taurus–Scorpio polarity: body vs. shadow, stability vs. surrender
• Why real optimism is a radical act

Whether you're here for Beltane rituals, Taurus season astrology, Scorpio full moon energy, The Tower tarot card, or divine masculine healing, you're in the right place.

The Tower falls. The flowers bloom. We build again, consciously.

Happy Beltane. Go light a fire. 🌸🔥

On April 19, Taurus season launches the spring into its peak, and the gravitas of the bull inspires embodiment and enthusiasm. I introduce us to the themes of my birth sign by pulling its corresponding tarot card, the Hierophant, which commands us to bring the divine down to earth, and to set the terms for our power in our day-to-day lives. The themes of Taureanism are solidity, sensuality, and simplicity. 

With a full moon in Scorpio on May 1st (the pagan holiday of Beltane), a new moon in Taurus on May 16, and planets like Uranus and Venus entering Gemini, it’s a season of lightning downloads and powerful debuts. As the noise of the world continues to rage, the planets challenge you to stand your ground and stick to actual, lived-in reality, so as not to fall into the matrix. What are you about?
