The Refated Podcast | Astrology for Shaping Your Fate

There’s a gap between what you want your life to be and what your life actually is. And no matter how much self-development work you do, or how much manifestation you do, or how much you “align” with the planets, that gap just sticks around or maybe even gets bigger.

If that hits home, today’s episode is a must listen. Why do we often bring into our lives things that are almost what we want, but not quite the whole package? Or, why are we constantly settling for a life that's just okay, just fine, average, or mediocre when there's something so much greater that we know we're designed for? What is the underlying pattern here and which planet is at play?

Body Astrology (Claires 1st book)

Have a “sh*tty” planet in your astrology chart? Refate it. Have an “awesome” planet in your astrology chart that’s not giving you awesome results? Refate it. In this episode, I define exactly what I mean by refating and show you how I do it. I also go through common misconceptions about refating including how it differs from manifestation, that it does NOT bypass pain and suffering, and why it IS incredible, but it’s NOT a miracle drug.
