Sometimes the universe puts the right people together. Today I’m talking with Kelsey Aida, a best-selling author on practical manifestation and basically “the lady who can help you make manifestation actually work for you” on a mind, body, and soul level, as she says.

I met Kelsey through my Spiritual Kinks co-host Lynnsey Robinson, because Kelsey’s the co-host of Lynnsey’s other podcast, High Vibin’ It. And of course we connected deeply and I’m so excited to share her embodied knowledge here.

Kelsey is a 5/1 Emotional Manifesting Generator and an Aquarius sun / Cancer moon / Cancer rising, and you’ll definitely feel that in this episode.

We’re getting into manifestation mythbusting and her long path to writing her new book, The Manifesting Fix. She’s open and honest about how creating your dream life and living the fantasy doesn’t mean you won’t feel rejection and come up against challenges!

So how can we line up with the things we want? We’re talking about that and about:

• why manifesting might not be working for you right now, and why alignment and action are so crucial in between the asking and receiving
• Kelsey’s belief that "your lived experience is your certification" and why we need to stop waiting for permission before doing the thing you want to do
• how to reason with the parts of you who subconsciously don't want your goals and dreams to come true
• ways to tell when you're forcing action out of fear or pressure, or feeling like "this is my only chance"
• and why making your desires and goals happen doesn't just selfishly benefit you — it benefits the collective and your community

Oh my goddess — my previous episode on spaciousness was one of my highest downloaded episodes in a while. So I know you all are feeling this in some way too: having a desire for more white space but not being able to see the way forward or the next right step.

Being in this liminal space is so fucking hard, but after a month away and an incredible vacation with my husband, I’m ready to make some changes.

Today I'm talking with my friend Tess Waresmith to expand and deepen on a conversation we had earlier this year — a seed that was planted that goes hand-in-hand with this craving for spaciousness that's going on right now.

This is off-the-cuff, it’s raw, it's real, and it might make you a little pissed off! And that's fine.

We're talking about:

• how even though Tess was making a ton of money in her online business, she became disenchanted with it
• the creator content hamster wheel, the pressure of consistency, and the steep reality of finding financial success as an online business over
• the uncomfortable feeling of being in the liminal space and allowing nothing to happen
• rethinking the concept of owning our time and asking ourselves, what are we optimizing for? If we woke up with a completely blank calendar tomorrow morning, how would we feel called to fill it?
• the idea of "cosmic indifference" and how we are really unimportant (in a good way)

And I’m not disappearing from the world altogether! Although I’m wrapping up this podcast at the end of the month, I'm still doing intuitive chart readings and working with my beautiful community inside The Magnetic Rebellion. Join me and use code PODCAST for 20 percent off.

I’ve been noticing something happening in the collective lately — especially among women, especially among those of us who run our own businesses. Something is shifting and I want to talk about it, because I think we're at a tipping point.

So many successful women are talking about needing to step back because of the exhaustion and loneliness of having to do all the things in their lives, even if they have people they can delegate to or help out.

They — no, WE — just want to slow down. We need more spaciousness, not just more strategy or more ways to delegate

Today, I’m talking about how this has been appearing in my life and the big moves I’m making to shift. things: what I'm calling my spaciousness audit.

I’m taking a month off from recording new podcast episodes to see what it feels like when I don’t have the pressure to produce content on a set schedule. This is part of my Incarnation Cross (the Cross of Contagion), where I trust that what moves through me to be transmitted doesn't need to be forced.

Plus, I’ll be traveling in France in September, so I’ll have so much external experiences to respond to and light me up!

In this episode, I’m also sharing:

• some of the signs of this need for more spaciousness, a need to stabilize the foundation
• a perspective on this out-of-alignment feeling for each Human Design type
• how your profile can give you clues as to when you need to step back

If I’m feeling this way, I trust that you’re feeling something along these lines too, because that’s how my 4/6 profile works. So reach out to me in my DMs or email and let me know how this resonates with you too!

If you feel a spark to learn more about the latest eclipse portal season, it’s part of what we do inside The Magnetic Rebellion. And in our next workshop on September 8, we are going deep on how this most recent eclipse portal has changed us! Join us and use code PODCAST for 20 percent off.

Trigger warning: discussion of pet death and grief.

This is not the episode I had planned to share today, but it's the episode I needed to share with you right now.

I've been having some of the hardest weeks of my life with the loss of my soulmate cat Manny and the immense grief I've been processing. And I've been grieving alone, falling back into my transference energy.

What does this mean? I am a 4/6 profile in Human Design with a Scorpio moon — I am meant to be amongst community and communicate my emotions with my network. I need to share what I’m going through, and I haven’t been doing that.

So today I’m sharing everything that’s happened over the past few weeks, and talking about how astrology and Human Design have helped me ground during this time.

My entire belief system has been put into question, and I’m not looking to turn my cat’s death into a lesson. But I think it’s part of our nature to seek answers as to WHY something happened, and looking at the symbolic language of the current astrology transits and my own design have helped me process something that doesn't have an explanation.

In this episode, I’m:

• sharing how my cat went missing and then was found, and how that experience tied into the traumatic patterns of my childhood belief systems
• how Manny’s passing right around the August solar eclipse relates to my ascendant (rising) sign of Leo
• why the transit of Saturn squaring Mars was telling me "you can't control this, some things can't be changed"
• how Saturn retrograde moving through my 9th house is playing into my questioning of beliefs and trust in the universe
• and how I’m feeling my emotional wave right now with my two channels connecting my solar plexus and root centers

Everything is still raw and tender right now, but I know (because I always hear from all of you after vulnerable episodes like these) that sharing my emotions and process is healing for everyone.

Today I’m re-airing one of our most downloaded episodes that answers a question I get all the time — what do we do inside a chart reading?? What can we dive into?

If you’ve never had a Human Design chart reading before — or even if you had one elsewhere in the past — you’ll hear my way of connecting with you, your specific design, and your situation. It’s very intuitive and spirit-guided, while still letting you and your questions lead the way.

In this episode, you’ll hear a full chart reading I did for one of my clients, a 1/3 Emotional Generator, back in 2023.

She wanted to learn how she could transition from being a career coach to a life coach and find the confidence she was missing to take that next step, but in the reading, we uncovered a lot more (as always happens in a reading with me!).

We dive into:

• getting out of the shadow of feeling she’ll never know enough or stand out as a 1 profile line
• the “red flag” feeling of frustration for Generator types and what she can do about it
• whether or not she’s doing the “right” work for her design
• how to harness her sensitivity as a superpower and support others in a healthy way
• the part of her design that completely validated what her intuition and Akashic records had told her

Get your chart at adrianakeefe.com for free right now if you don’t already have it handy, and follow along — you might have some of the same themes in your own chart!

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of sexual abuse.

Today I’m doing something a little different and sharing an episode of Spiritual Kinks, my other podcast that I co-host with Lynnsey Robinson.

You might remember her from our episode on past lives back in January, and now you’re getting a deeper dose of what happens when Lynnsey and I have one of our regular unfiltered talks.

What starts as a conversation about sex spirals into manifestation, Human Design, feminine energy, trauma healing, birth stories, romance novels, hyper-independence, orgasms, and the very real possibility that women are walking spiritual portals

In this episode, Lynnsey and I are getting into:

• the concept of "as above, so below" and the soul contract that put us here to do what we do
• the connection between creativity, sex, and desire (sex as creative energy)
• the power of a woman's body and how we timed the birth of our kids through power of intention
• finding harmony and resonance in the masculine and feminine energies within us and within our marriages
• sex magic and the potency of orgasmic manifestation

If you take one thing away from our conversation here, remember: if you're not feeling connected to desire and sensuality, then you probably also aren't feeling super creative or in the flow with what you do or who you are.

So get curious — get kinky! — about what turns you on, whether that's specifically sexual or generally exciting

Because that's why we're here, friends. To feel pleasure.

Welcome, beautiful friends, to the second in our series on the planetary placements in our Human Design charts.

Today we’re welcoming the gifts and lessons of Venus, so if you don’t have your chart on hand for this one, go get yours at adrianakeefe.com for free right now.

We often think of Venus in terms of love and romantic relationships, but its sexiness goes deeper than that when it comes to Human Design. It reveals the values and principles that shape how you relate to yourself and others — and how you receive lessons of self-worth and self-love.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the details of the Venus placements, including:

• how your personality Venus shows what you admire in others and what attracts you
• how your design Venus can sometimes be more powerful because it feeds your hidden relationship patterns
• why the wounds and gifts of Venus offer some of the most transformative growth opportunities in your chart
• the current Venus transits through Virgo and Libra and how they’re helping us raise our relationship standards and be more aware of what we deserve
• a deep dive into a few different gates to give real-life examples of how Venus can show up for you

Remember, you'll always feel the energy of any of the gates I mention in this episode if you have them elsewhere in your chart or if we’re transiting one of these gates in the collective.

So listen for where these themes keep showing up in your life — they’re probably hitting you somewhere!

If you want to explore more aspects of your chart and your life in this way, it’s what we do inside The Magnetic Rebellion. And in our next workshop on August 5, we are going deeper into our Venus placements! Join us and use code PODCAST for 20 percent off.

I’m hosting an intimate end-of-summer gathering at my home! We’ll be sharing a day of ritual, magic, Human Design, and connection on Sunday, August 23 from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm EDT. Only 8 spots are open and tiered pricing is available — sign up here!

Today we’re finally wrapping up our series on the Centers in Human Design with my friend Kaitlyn Kessler, a 6/2 Emotional Projector and Pisces sun / Virgo moon / Aries rising.

Kaitlyn has spent the past decade building multiple businesses over the past decade and now helps other entrepreneurs focus on growing their income in a way and building a life that feels rich, not just a bank account that feels rich.

Kaitlyn has six gates activated in her undefined root center, which means she's not totally open. But she's still undefined, so she and I feel the pressure from our roots in our own ways, as you’ll hear!

As a quick recap, the root center is a pressure, motor, AND awareness center that is not about stress itself — it’s an internal ignition system that sparks the pressure to evolve, to start and finish what you're here to do. It’s not here to make you anxious, but

In this episode, we’re decoding those pressure / stress signals and talking about:

• what pressure feels like in Kaitlyn's body and how its urgency shifts when she’s by herself vs. around other people
• how the pressure of the root relates to the feeling of scarcity
• learning to trust the root’s healthy activating pressure of being motivated to get something done
• how Kaitlyn has deconditioned to not feel pressured by deadlines when the internal momentum to produce isn't there
• understanding the root center's pulsing energy, and when it's in go mode and when it's in rest mode

Plus, Kaitlyn shares a quick exercise to figure out when you’re feeling someone else's pressure and not your own, and we debunk my theory that all "late people" have open root centers!

Grab your chart to check your root center and its gates, and press play!

Welcome, friends, to the first episode of a new series here on the podcast! I’m decoding each of the planetary placements in your chart one at a time, so you can start to better understand all the beautiful parts of you.

Definitely pull up your chart on hand for this one — you can get yours at adrianakeefe.com for free right now — because we're starting with the Sun gate!

You might have heard that your Sun gate is your purpose, and while that's not entirely wrong, it's not the full picture, either. And that’s what I’m unpacking today.

I’m looking at all aspects of the Sun Gate, including:

• the difference between your Personality Sun and your Design Sun gates, and how they express consciously and through natural embodiment
• why your Personality Sun has such a major influence on you, and why it appears in so many life lessons
• exploring a few different gates to give real-life examples of the gift and shadow in each, including my Personality Sun of Gate 8

Even if you don't have any gates I mention as your Personality Sun, you'll feel their energy if you have them elsewhere in your chart or if we’re transiting one of these gates in the collective.

So listen for where these themes keep showing up in your life — they’re probably hitting you somewhere!

And don’t forget:

If you want to explore more aspects of your chart and your life in this way, it’s what we do inside The Magnetic Rebellion. In our next workshop on July 22, we are digging into our Chiron placement, since that’s activating all of us right now! Join us and use code PODCAST for 20 percent off.

You know I love the intersection of science and energetics, so today’s guest is SO MUCH FUN for me! 

In this episode, I’m digging into how energy relates to our body’s healing with Hope Pedraza: functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, Human Design guide, clinical hypnotherapist, 3/5 Sacral Manifesting Generator, and Pisces sun / Cancer moon / Leo rising.

Hope uses Human Design and energy healing in her practices to treat the body at the functional level, which is… I mean, preach to the choir here. 

And she has a lot to say about how our masculine, productivity-focused society is fucking with us on a hormonal level, but that’s just one piece of it. We’re talking about:

• how her discovery of Human Design was the "missing link" to get to the cause of so many physical issues
• Hope’s journey from resentment to embracing the experimental nature of her 3 line profile — and learning that so-called failure is sometimes just timing
• how our undefined centers are a source of information as to what the physical body is doing, especially with hormonal changes and perimenopause
• the root center's urgent pressure and its relationship to our adrenals and BURNOUT
• taking a more feminine approach of looking at our body and asking what the body is telling us instead of immediately trying to "fix" something or expecting linear outcomes

Grab your chart because we talk about centers A LOT in this conversation, so you'll want to know which of yours are defined or undefined.

Join me for an intimate end-of-summer gathering at my home for ritual, magic, laughter, and connection on Sunday, August 23 from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm EDT. Tiered pricing is available — sign up here!
