The ninth house swings the doors wide open after the depths of the eighth house and says, come up for air. There is a great big wide world out there. In this episode I am continuing the house series with the house of travel, philosophy, spirituality, religion, higher education, and your belief systems. It is ruled by Sagittarius and Jupiter, and it holds the key to how you expand your consciousness and search for truth. Your belief systems are rooted in how wide your perspective is, and if you have a narrow view, you will have a narrow belief system, and you may be limiting yourself without even realizing it. The ninth house is where the big questions live: why are we here, what is the meaning of all this, and how do the experiences we gather along the road of life shape who we become. Then I walk you through every sign in the ninth house, from Aries to Pisces, so you can find the sign on your ninth house cusp and understand how you expand, where you search for truth, and what your growth edge is. Pull up your chart at chart.spiritdaughter.com and find your ninth house before you listen.

Topics Covered:

• What the ninth house governs: travel, philosophy, spirituality, belief systems, and higher education
• How the ninth house follows the eighth house as a journey from the underworld to expansion
• How Sagittarius and Jupiter rule the ninth house
• Travel as more than vacations: long journeys and experiences that broaden your horizons
• How your belief systems are shaped by how expanded your perspective is
• The third house and ninth house axis: early childhood education vs. higher learning
• The existential questions that live in the ninth house
• How the experiences you gather along the road of life expand your consciousness

What if the fastest way to change how you feel is already hanging in your closet? This week I sit down with celebrity stylist Erin Walsh, the woman behind some of the most iconic red carpet moments of the last two decades and the author of The Art of Intentional Dressing. We start where I always love to start, with her birth chart, and it explains everything. Erin has Leo Sun and Venus in the eighth house, Capricorn rising, and a Virgo Moon that has spent a lifetime chasing perfect. As we read it together, you can watch her whole life click into place.

 

This is a conversation about style as a spiritual practice. Erin walks us through her CREATE method, a simple system for getting dressed on purpose so your wardrobe becomes a library of how you want to feel instead of a graveyard of who you used to be. We talk about dressing for the day you want to create, using your intuition in the dressing room, the mirror ritual that rewires how you see yourself, and why the shoes you put on in the morning can shift your whole energy. If you have ever stood in front of a full closet feeling like you have nothing to wear, this one is your permission slip to get intentional.

 

Topics Covered:

• Reading Erin’s birth chart live, and why Leo Sun and Venus in the eighth house make her a natural at intimate transformation
• Capricorn rising and the first impression people form before you say a word
• How to dress with your rising sign in mind, and when to soften it on purpose
• Venus in Leo, statement pieces, luxury, and style as creative self expression
• The Libra Midheaven and a career built around beauty and balance
• The Virgo Moon, the inner critic, and learning that done is better than perfect
• Virgo Mercury in the ninth house and the author who was always waiting to be born
• The CREATE method: clarity, ritual, editing, alignment, truth, and expansion
• Using your intuition to get dressed and trusting your first yes
• Jupiter in Leo and the year of expansion ahead for Erin
• The app that turns your closet into a daily manifestation tracker
• The mirror ritual and treating getting ready as a moment of self worth

The eighth house is where you go all the way in. We are back in the house series with the deepest, most intense house in the chart: the house of transformation, intimacy, shared resources, and the hidden power most of us never claim. In this episode I break down everything the eighth house holds, why its version of death is really about endings that make room for a rebirth, what it means for shared money like inheritance, taxes, and merging finances with a partner, and why it rules the intimacy that begins after the wedding day, when two souls start to merge as one. It is ruled by Scorpio, Pluto, and Mars, so it runs deep. Then I walk you through every sign in the eighth house, from Aries to Pisces, so you can find the sign on your eighth house cusp and understand how you transform, where your power lives, and what you need in your most intimate relationships. Pull up your chart at chart.spiritdaughter.com and find your eighth house before you listen.

Topics Covered:

• What the eighth house governs: transformation, intimacy, shared resources, and power
• Why the eighth house rules death and rebirth as endings, not the literal kind
• Shared finances: joint money, inheritance, taxes, and merging resources with another
• Intimacy after the wedding day, where two souls merge as one
• The rulers of the eighth house: Scorpio, Pluto, and Mars
• Astrology, tarot, shadow work, and the subconscious as eighth house territory
• How to find the sign on your eighth house cusp with Placidus
• What each sign means in your eighth house, from Aries to Pisces

This is the one to listen to. On August 12th the total solar eclipse in Leo arrives at 20 degrees Leo, and it will touch every one of us. In my first long solo episode, almost an hour, I walk you through everything you need before the biggest manifestation moment of the year. You will learn what an eclipse actually is and why a solar eclipse is a new moon supercharged, why this one opens an eighteen month chapter as the first in a new Leo eclipse series, and why the seeds you plant now unfold over the next six months to two years. 

I share the story of the 2017 Leo eclipse and the workbook that put Spirit Daughter on the map, then I get personal: I show you exactly how to find 20 degrees Leo in your chart and what this eclipse is opening for you in every house, from identity and self worth to career, partnerships, and coming home to who you are. Leo rules the heart, so this is your invitation to stop playing small, reclaim the light you dimmed, and claim what you actually want. Grab your journal, pull up your chart at chart.spiritdaughter.com, and settle in.

When it happens:

The total solar eclipse peaks at 10:45 AM PT on August 12, 2026 (5:45 PM UTC) at 20 degrees Leo. Convert that to your time zone, and if you can, pause for the moment of totality.

Topics Covered:

• What an eclipse is, and why a solar eclipse is a new moon supercharged
• Why you feel this eclipse even if you are not a Leo
• Eclipse season and the nodes: South Node in Leo and the start of an eighteen month cycle
• The 2017 Leo eclipse and the quantum leap that grew Spirit Daughter
• Why the seeds you plant now unfold over the next six months to two years

On 8/8 the Lion’s Gate portal reaches its peak, and it is one of the most powerful days of the year to manifest. In this episode Jill opens the portal for you. You will learn what Lion’s Gate actually is, why the alignment of the Sun in Leo, the star Sirius, and the Galactic Center makes this window so potent, and how to use it to come home to your power. Jill breaks down the numerology of 8/8, why believing in your own capability matters more than any wish, and how to jump into your highest timeline. Then it moves into practice: sitting in the morning sun with your palms up, the journaling prompts that reveal your blocks, working with Lumerian and citrine, and how to make your own Lion’s Gate water to carry this energy for months.

• Why the star Sirius, the spiritual sun, becomes visible during this window

What happens when the woman who broke up your marriage becomes your closest friend and your co parent? Lala Kent and Ambyr Childers lived it, and in this episode I read both of their charts to trace the astrology behind one of the most unlikely friendships you will ever hear. We look at why Ambyr’s Cancer Sun and Lala’s Virgo Sun understand and heal each other, the Chiron in Cancer wound they both carry around mothering themselves, and how co parenting is healing it. Ambyr is closing an eighteen month nodal return in Pisces and Virgo and learning to trust that she has everything she needs within her, right as Lala steps into her own nodal return in Leo and Aquarius alongside a Jupiter return, the year she is called to take up space and stop seeking approval. We also get into love and Venus, self worth versus self confidence, and how two people who started as enemies became soul family. Lala and Ambyr co host the iHeart podcast An Unlikely Affair.

The unlikely story: from sharing the same ex to co parenting and deep friendship

Every so often the sky changes the direction it is asking us to grow in, and not for a day but for the next year and a half. On July 26 the lunar nodes moved into Aquarius and Leo, and this is one of the most important shifts of the whole year, and almost nobody is talking about it.

In this minisode I break down what your North Node and South Node actually are, the compass of your soul, and what this new chapter is asking of all of us. The North Node in Aquarius points us toward authenticity, community, freedom, and the courage to be exactly who we are. The South Node in Leo shows us the need for approval and applause we are being invited to gently release.

This is also the axis the eclipses will move along now, so these themes will keep showing up in your life and in the world over the next eighteen months. I share a simple journaling practice to work with the shift and one line to say out loud as you step onto the path your soul has been pointing you toward all along.

Topics Covered:

• What the lunar nodes are and why they always work as a pair
• The South Node as your comfort zone and the North Node as your soul’s direction
• Why the nodes change signs every eighteen months and reset the lesson for all of us
• North Node in Aquarius: authenticity, community, freedom, and the future
• South Node in Leo: releasing the need for approval and the spotlight
• How this shift moves the eclipse axis onto Aquarius and Leo
• What the nodes mean on a collective level
• A journaling practice to honor what you release and reach for what is next

Timestamps:

• [00:00] The sky just changed direction for the next eighteen months
• [00:45] Welcome and why this shift sets the tone for the next chapter
• [02:30] What the lunar nodes actually are
• [06:30] North Node in Aquarius: where we are growing
• [10:30] South Node in Leo: what we are releasing
• [14:00] What this means for all of us and the eclipses ahead
• [16:30] A journaling practice for the new chapter
• [19:00] Closing: your future is reaching for you

Sheleana Aiyana grew up in and out of foster homes and was on her own at sixteen. Today she is the voice behind Rising Woman and the author of Becoming the One, guiding millions of women home to themselves. In this episode I read Sheleana’s natal chart and we uncover the astrology behind everything she has built.

We start with her Libra rising and the Pluto in Scorpio in her first house that lets her see straight to the depths of a person, then move to the Sun in Aquarius in her fourth house that came here to rewrite what family means. We follow the teacher signature written all through her chart, the Saturn and Uranus conjunction in Sagittarius that turns her into a rule bender, and the Chiron in Gemini in her eighth house, the wound around her voice that became her medicine.

Then we look up at the sky arriving for her. Jupiter is moving into Leo and lighting up her tenth house of career for the next thirteen months, right as she launches three books. We talk about how to hold career and motherhood at the same time, why your abundance is tied to your integrity, and how the hardest parts of your story can become the exact place your gifts are born.

Circle July 29 on your calendar. The Jupiter Cazimi is the luckiest, most abundant day of the year, and this year it lands in Leo with a Full Moon in Aquarius arriving just hours later. In this minisode, I break down what a cazimi actually is, why Jupiter entering the heart of the Sun amplifies everything it touches, and how to use this rare alignment to ask for what you truly want.

This is your yes day. It is the day the universe waits for you to claim your greatest expansion, and so we talk about how to get honest about your dreams, how to release the fear that keeps you from asking, and how to find the exact house in your chart where Jupiter in Leo is expanding your life this year.

Marie Forleo built an empire on one idea: everything is figureoutable. Then her Chiron return arrived and the universe handed her a message she never expected. You cannot figure this one out. In this episode, I read Marie’s natal chart and we discover the astrology behind everything she has built, from launching online courses before most people had the internet to teaching millions that marketing your gifts is a duty, not a chore.

 

We unpack the visionary signature of her Sun in Sagittarius sitting next to Neptune, the Moon in Aquarius that made freedom nonnegotiable, and the Saturn in Leo soul contract that turned her voice into her life’s work. Then we go deep into the fixed T square in her chart and the surprising release valve that explains why she loves to dance, lift heavy things, and get her hands in the dirt.

 

And we talk about the years that brought her to her knees. Marie is at the tail end of her Chiron return, and she shares what it actually felt like, why her warrior tools stopped working, and the softer skills of surrender and trust she had to build instead. If you have ever felt like the strategies that got you here have stopped carrying you forward, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
