Season Four of The Radiance Project begins again with its original premiere guest, Elizabeth Rainer. Heidi and Elizabeth explore the power of a Pluto transit; Elizabeth shares stories of her dance with the death and rebirth inherent in the power of Pluto.

The moon rules our physical body, is deeply connected to our home, mothers, lineage and the patterns of our past. Pluto breaks down, empowers, heals -- it's a destroyer and a builder. Sometimes, it needs to destroy first.
