Your natal moon phase reveals the energetic tone you were born including your personality style, and the deeper purpose your soul is here to express. In this episode, we explore the 8 natal moon phases and how the Sun–Moon relationship creates your inner operating system.

We open with a quick Mercury Retrograde recap (because this one has been a lot)—travel delays, tech issues, toddler chaos, and the unexpected upgrades that unfolded through it.

Then we dive into the episode, where Shaniel brings each natal moon phase to life by connecting it to the seed cycle. She shows how every lunar phase mirrors a stage of growth; from planting, sprouting, and emerging… to blooming, harvesting, and releasing. This makes it incredibly easy to understand not just the meaning of each phase, but the energetic story your soul is playing out in this lifetime.

Whether you’re new to astrology or deep in your chart, this episode will help you understand:

✨ How to find your natal moon phase

✨ What each phase reveals about your natural rhythm, motivations, and life themes

✨ Why two people with the same moon sign can feel completely different

✨ How the seed cycle offers a grounding, intuitive metaphor for your inner unfolding

✨ Examples from our own natal moon phases and how they have unfolded for us

Perfect for anyone curious about personality, soul purpose, lunar cycles, and the deeper layers of their chart.

In this episode, we start with a check-in on the current Mercury retrograde, continuing the conversation from our last episode. We share a few things we’ve both been noticing, experiencing, and reflecting on during this retrograde cycle, the patterns we’re seeing collectively, and how this particular transit is showing up in real time for us.

From there, we shift into the main topic: your Diet or Determination in Human Design. This is about how your body is designed to digest food, information, experiences, and life itself.

We explore the top left arrow in the bodygraph, what it reveals about your digestion style, and the difference between a left-facing (active) and right-facing (receptive) digestion.

Then we walk through all six Human Design diets: Appetite, Taste, Thirst, Touch, Sound, and Light. We break down each diet and what it means to have a left vs. right arrow for each.

Whether you’re someone who thrives on routine, needs variety, prefers quiet meals, or feels best in buzzy spaces, these Determinations illuminate why your digestion works the way it does and how honoring it can bring more ease into your life.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by PHS or confused about the “Human Design diets,” this episode breaks everything down in a gentle, grounded, and accessible way. Consider this your supportive guide to reconnecting with the way your body is designed to take in the world.

She also covers Profile numbers, the arrows, and even digestive orientation, offering real examples of how this knowledge has shaped her sister’s parenting experience and her son’s unique rhythm.

As the Sun moves through Libra and Scorpio season, it also travels through all seven gates of the Spleen which is the center of instinct, intuition, and survival. This is a deeply transformative passage that mirrors the darker half of the year, when light fades and we turn inward.

In this episode, we explore:

🌒 The duality of Libra and Scorpio — balance and transformation, ego and soul.

🌿 The Spleen Center in Human Design — what it means to have it defined or undefined.

🔮 The seven splenic gates — their core fears and intuitive gifts.

🜂 How this season invites us to release fear, trust our instincts, and reconnect with our body’s wisdom.

It’s a journey of shedding what’s not aligned, reclaiming inner trust, and moving from self to soul in the same way as nature descends into the dark to find renewal.

A major collective shift is underway! Uranus has officially left Taurus and entered Gemini for the first time since the 1940s. In this episode, we unpack what this 7-year transit means for us individually and collectively, and why it marks a turning point in the "Age of Air." We reflect on the lessons of Uranus in Taurus, share personal stories from our own charts, and explore the meaning of Uranus as the planet of disruption, awakening, and radical change. With all three outer planets now in air and fire signs, the energy is speeding up and we're being asked to think, speak, and connect in completely new ways.

We also touch on:

• The historical themes of Uranus in Gemini, including its ties to past U.S. wars and the current Uranus return for the United States

• Uranus activating Gate 20 in Human Design: the gate of presence, truth, and embodiment

• Horoscopes for all 12 rising signs so you can see how this long-term shift may show up in your own life This episode is part cosmic forecast, part personal reflection, and part energetic download for navigating change with more awareness.
