Season 2, Episode 9: Understanding Virgo Full Moon; Pisces Jazz Singer Nina Simone's Birth Chart; Interview w/ Pisces Birth Doula Catalina Clark

1 hour 16 minutes

Hey hey cosmic cousins! Welcome back to another week of soul-centered astrology. I am currently couch surfing at the moment, in Thai Town in Los Angeles, so definitely riding the ocean wave’s of Pisces Season. What an incredibly magical and mysterious time of year. Now is a time for us to stay focused and grounded in our rituals. This is super important during Pisces time of year, and it’s something the Virgo Moon invites us into this week. So we’ll talk about that on the show today. You can look forward to a deep dive into understanding of the Virgo Moon, how it balances Pisces energy, and ritual and meditation you can partake in to make the most of this transit.

We’re also going to be honoring the life of and celebrating the birthday of the incredible Pisces Sun, Nina Simone. As a trained musician, jazz vocalist, and social activist in the civil rights movement, Nina Simone helped to usher in a world in alignment with the higher virtues and values of universality. So to be sure, she is a Cosmic Cousin we can all look up to. Her chart is off the wall, with 5 planets in the first house, and her Sun Moon and Rising are the last three signs of the cosmic wheel of expansion, Capricorn Moon, Aquarius Rising, Pisces Sun. So we’re gonna get into all of that! And listen to some clips of her songs for research purposes, including: 'Mississippi Goddamn,' 'Sea-Line Woman,' 'Feelin' Good,' and of course the great 'Young, Gifted, and Black.' If you are familiar with Nina Simone, you know her voice and music is filled with an Ocean of Emotion, so it’s no surprise she’s a Pisces Sun!

And then this episode rounds off with an incredibly intimate and sweet interview with incredible Pisces Sun Birth Doula, Catalina Clark. Which her birthday is today. Happy Solar Return Catalina! She shares her journey transitioning from working in Night Life in NYC, to finding yoga, moving into pre-natal yoga, and then working with pregnant women and mothers as a doubla. Which is super cool, because she’s a Cancer Rising, so we see that being reflected there too. Beautiful beautiful Pisces woman, and it was such an honor to interview her. So I hope you stick around for that too! Check her instagram out at @catalina.clark
