Anyone who thinks astrology is basic, clearly has not met Krista Marie Starr. In this episode, astrologer, tarot witch, yogi, somatic trauma therapist and all-round embodied mystic, Krista shares how our natal chart can map the architecture of our soul’s journey and help us understand the uniqueness of our path. She also uses my chart as a reference point so it also serves as a preview of a session with her. 

We spoke about:

🔮How to read your own natal chart

🔮Planets, Houses, Aspects & Transits

🔮Becoming an embodied mystic

🔮Spontaneous priestess transmissions

🔮The Taurus-Scorpio axis (pleasure, sensuality & earth meets sex, death, transformation & power)

🔮How Astrology can help us make peace with the unknown 

🔮Where karma and past life experiences can show up in the chart

🔮The North and South Nodes

🔮How Krista has navigated her soul’s journey supported by astrology 

Krista Marie Starr

From a young age she has always been thirsty for truth and knowledge; full of curiosity, a deep thinker and an ardent seeker. Drawn to the mysteries hidden under the surface, both as a refuge from trauma, challenge, and difficulty, as well as hearing the call to explore the secrets and paradoxes of existence… those deep questions that have filled humans with curiosity since the dawn of time. With a BA in Philosophy, Religion, and Politics, her areas of philosophical and spiritual study both as an academic pursuit as well as personal exploration include the practices and wisdom from Kashmir Shaivism, European Witchcraft, Andean Knowledge, Jungian Psychology, Esoteric Mysticism and Divination Arts, Vajrayana Buddhism, and Phenomenology, amongst others. All of this study and personal inner work has created a holistic approach to transformation, personal development, and connection. Whether through the exploration of wisdom, the healing of the heart, or tapping into the power of the body she offers the invitation to step into the wilderness yourself to discover the beauty and transformative power of these arts and practices.

‘A full-fed woman feeds the world’

This was a thought-provoking conversation about how our own mother-stories impact our relationships with ourselves, our bodies and those we want to love as well. We explore the connection between breastfeeding and our relationship with nourishment as well as the road back to rightful self-attunement. 

Topics we cover:

🫧 The feminine’s natural orientation toward love

🫧 The way men love through integrity and women love through faith

🫧 Self-attunement as our True North

🫧 The art of giving our love in a way that meets the need of the other

🫧 The microcosm of the female body: how her capacity to nurture herself creates an imprint for her baby through breastfeeding

🫧 The correlation between our early experiences of inadequate attunement and developing disordered eating later in life

🫧 The hunger for attuned connection & seeking emotional fullness

🫧 The importance of having wise women around us

🫧 The powerful role rage plays in reclaiming our needs

🫧 The most impactful way maidens can prepare for birth

In her earlier career as a perinatal and neonatal nurse, Kristy Scher realized the essence of her work was nurturing self-attunement in a new mother so she, in turn, could attune to and nurture her baby. Kristy witnessed this in women again and again: when our need for attunement and nurturing is met profound emotional and spiritual growth happens organically.

Helping a woman recover her capacity for exquisite self-attunement became the foundation of her work as a coach. She believes self-attunement, self-nurturing, and self-love feed a woman — and a full woman feeds the world.

In addition to individual and group coaching, Kristy writes and teaches about intimacy, relationships, and the spiritual path of motherhood.

MENTIONS

Erin Kyna’s podcast, Romantic Hardcore

‘Relax, nothing is under control' :)

In this solo episode, I share about the art of surrender and how the practice of letting go holds potent medicine for our everyday lives, our sexuality, initiatory experiences & our bigger existential questions. This is a glimpse into a fundamental principle of the deep feminine as we open to what lies beyond the illusion of control and explore the energetics of this powerful state of being.

I share about the three modalities I’ve found most powerful in cultivating our capacity for surrender - water work, shibari (Japanese rope bondage), & tantric body de-armouring. 

Topics we cover: 

✨ approaching surrender as a recovering control freak

✨ learning to listen & be moved by life’s currents

✨ the importance of ceremony & inner pilgrimage

✨ trusting that we can hold ourselves first and foremost

✨ the connection between surrender and female sexual pleasure

✨ sharing my top three modalities for practicing surrender

In this series, I interview embodied mystics who have made the transition from maiden to mother about their experience, from a spiritual perspective. At the time of recording, feminine embodiment teacher Jelena is 5.5 months postpartum in Egypt.

In this episode we discuss:

🐚 Choosing a natural home birth

🐚 The role plant medicine played in the conception & birth of Juno

🐚 Seeing birth as a spiritual initiation

🐚 Discovering her pregnancy through dream

🐚 The necessity of ancestral lineage work

🐚 Communicating with the soul of the child around important decisions

🐚 Ecstatic birthing - What is ecstasy and what part does it play in birth?

🐚 How giving birth healed her own birth story

🐚 De-conditioning the womb space

🐚 Owning the desire for motherhood and empowering ourselves by making a decision about what we want

🐚 How Jelena’s sense of embodiment has changed since becoming a mother

Jelena Devi (Switzerland/Jamaica) landed into this world dancing. After many years exploring the realms of professional dance, choreography and teaching a variety of styles it is her greatest joy to guide people into deeper connection to their body and heart to witness expression of truth.

Previously a dance/ yoga studio owner she now shares “Embodiment & Empowerment as Medicine” all over the world in the form of Workshops, Coaching, Trainings & Retreats.
