- [00:00] SoulBody Readings SoulBody Readings, the only reading where your body, your soul, and the sky all meet. Hello my friends and welcome home to Heart & Light Living. [00:14] Welcome to SoulBody There's no other reading like this one. A horoscope tells you about your sign, a tarot card tells you about your moment. A SoulBody reading is the only one built to sit at the exact intersect of three things at once: your body, your soul, and the real moving sky above you right now. If you've ever wondered why the readings are built the way that they are. Why I mentioned the moon, the Chinese calendar, plant allies, colors, water, and light all in the same breath. This is the episode for you. Watch this once, and every SoulBody reading that you hear after it will make complete sense. Save it, share it, and come back to it anytime that you need to. And it doesn't matter where you're starting. Whether you've never read a horoscope in your entire life, or if you've been studying your own chart for years, this is a great place for you to start. Nothing in a SoulBody reading requires you to already know anything. It only asks you to have a body, a sky above you, and a willingness to notice what the two of them are already saying to each other. [01:31] Why SoulBody? So why did I create SoulBody readings? I created these readings to help folks discover the connection between your body and the cosmic energies and how that connection plays out in a body here on Earth. Your soul's having experience housing your body, and this reading was developed to support that relationship, to help the two of you, soul and body, actually be able to communicate with each other. That's the whole reason that SoulBody does exist, not just to be another horoscope, but the meeting place where your body, your soul, and the sky finally get to speak the same language. This was never meant to be a novelty. It was built on something that I believe all the way down inside your body feels the sky before your mind even has words for it. Somewhere in our gut, in our breath, in our energy, and it deserves a reading that honors that instead of asking us to just ignore it. [02:38] How a reading works The formula behind every reading that we do is pretty consistent because a SoulBody reading follows the sky weather plus your personal chart doorway plus your body map plus a gut, water, and nourishment cue and a soul action. That means that every reading starts in the actual sky, the real degrees, the real moon. The real planets verified against precise astronomical data, and then we bring it all the way down into the body, which organ, which glands, which rhythm this transit's speaking to, and what it means for your food, your water, and your gut. Sky, body, soul. Every single category that you're about to actually hear about and see exists to connect those three. Three things, nothing more, nothing less. [03:39] Your whole chart Why do we go over the sun, the rising, and the moon? Well, because you're your whole chart. You know, one of the things here that we're kind of learning together is that you're not just your sun sign. You're not just your rising sign either. If you think of your whole birth chart as one pie cut into twelve slices, the twelve houses, and every planet and every sign sits somewhere in that pie for you personally. The moment that you took your first breath, that's your chart. Your sun sign is your core identity. The sun was moving through wherever that lands for you when you were born. It's the most public layer of you, the one most people already know. And it tells your basic nature and your general life theme. Your rising sign or your ascendant is the sign that was climbing in the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. It sets the entire wheel of your chart in motion. It becomes your first house and every other house counts forward from there. That's why I always give you a rising sign message too, alongside your Sun, alongside, pardon me, your Sun message. It shows you exactly which part of your life, which house this transit's actually landing in for you personally, and not just generally for your sign. And there's a third layer that's worth knowing, and that's your moon sign. The sign that the moon was moving through at your exact birth. Your moon sign is your emotional inner world, how you feel, how you comfort yourself, and respond beneath the surface. If you know your rising sign, you can also track which house the transiting moon is moving through for you right now, today, because the moon moves through your whole chart once every 27 to 29 days, lighting up a different house and a different part of your life every single two and a half days. So the invitation is this: don't stop at, you know, whatever your sun sign is and say, Oh, I'm just a Leo, or even, you know, oh, I'm a Leo with a Taurus rising. Remember, you're the whole pie. Twelve houses, all active, all yours. The more of your chart that you learn, the more precise these readings can speak to your life, not just to your sign. [06:16] The Moon Body Clock And another thing that we talk about here is the moon is your body clock. And the reason that we say that is that your body is roughly 60% water. Your blood plasma alone is close to like 90%. And the moon governs every tide on this planet. Ocean tides are a real thing, they're measurable in physics. The moon's gravity pulls harder on the side of the earth that's facing it than from the far side, stretching the ocean into the bulges that we call the high and the low tide. Whether that same gravity meaningfully moves the water inside your own body in the same way is more honest to call traditional wisdom than say settled physics. Because obviously our body is small. It's a contained system. It's not an open sea. But we're still undeniably a body of water living on a planet of water moving through the very same sky that moves every tide on the earth. And that connection is worth taking seriously, even where the mechanism isn't fully proven. The clearest place that this shows up is roughly monthly. In the rhythm that like your own body already rides. So for a lot of women, the average menstrual cycle runs close to 28 days. The moon's own cycle close to 29 and a half. And the word menstrual shares the root with moon and month. Cultures that have never even spoken to each other still notice the same two rhythms sitting side by side for thousands of years. And that's why we read the moon's phases like a body weather report. A new moon might feel like a low tide. Water and energy may be drawn inwards to us. A body wanting to rest and kind of gather itself. A full moon feels like a high tide, like feeling really at its fullest reach. A body ready to let something go. That's also why every SoulBody reading now gives you two moon messages instead of just one. A moon body clock message for what that tide is doing in your actual body, and a separate emotional support message for what it's asking of your heart. They come from the same sky, but they land in two different places in you. And each one deserves its own word. So we're gonna talk for a moment now about astrological flow and water, because obviously here. [08:50] Water and flow We go a little bit like on one layer deeper on water because it's a thread that runs through almost everything in a SoulBody reading. The three water signs of the zodiac are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, and each one carries a different quality of flow. Cancer is ruled by the moon and it governs the body's fluids and the tide-like rhythms of feelings. Scorpio governs the deep transformative waters. What's hidden and what needs to be shed and let go of, and governs elimination and regeneration. Pisces, ruled by Neptune, governs the dissolving water or intuition, spirit, and the place where you and everything else kind of blur together. When the sky moves through a season, it's really moving you through these three different qualities of water, one after another, all year long. And this is where it becomes physical, not just symbolic. So light's a wave, and water we know is condensed light. If light carries information as a wave, and water is light in its densest, most structured form, then water becomes the actual medium for your body to actually hold and carry the sky's message, the light. The transit is the wave. The water you already know makes up most of your body is where that wave becomes structured. That's the real mechanism behind the water imprint message in every reading. It's not a metaphor asking us to imagine something. It's an instruction asking us to let that reading's wave settle into the actual water that we drink and the actual water that we are. [10:51] The water imprint Why the water imprint? And speaking into our own water. Why is that even like important? This is the piece that I never really want to lose because it's the one that we can all actually do for ourselves every single time with our own hands. In every SoulBody reading, there's a moment where I ask you to pick up your own glass of water and say something out loud with me. And, you know, kind of bless it before you drink it. That's the water imprint. Here's why it matters because it's not just like a nice ritual, but an actual payoff of everything that we just discussed above. Since water carries structure the way that you know that it now does, when you hold your glass and say, for example, my body comes back to balance. I give and receive, I do and I rest. You're not just performing a nice sentence and putting it out into the air. You're actually speaking that reading's sky directly into the actual water that you're about to drink. Then that water becomes you. Sky, word, water, body, the whole formula in one small doable act every single time, available to us all. [12:13] Why a blessing? So something else that I wanted to just like talk about for a moment is why I close every reading with a blessing over our water. And you know, you'll hear every SoulBody reading ends the same way. No matter what the sky is doing that day, it's always going to close with a blessing for your body. The short prayer you'll find at the very end of this, it's my own words, and it's deliberately about the same thing that we've been talking about this whole time, which is clear food, blessed water, honest breath. And I close every single broadcast with it, because a reading should not just end when I stop talking. It should leave you, the listener, holding something, your own water, freshly blessed, and one true sentence about your own body that you can carry out the door with you. [13:10] The Chinese six energies So there's another aspect to all of this that you'll hear in SoulBody readings, and it's why the Chinese six energies are even in this, and it's a second independent body clock. I weave the Chinese six energies, the year, the month, and the day of the sexagenary calendar for the same reason that I checked the moon. It's another real ancient body clock. It's just read through a different tradition and a different lens. In Chinese five element theory, each element governs an organ system: wood the liver, fire, the heart, earth, the spleen, and the gut. Metal the lungs, water the kidneys. So the year, the month, and the day energies are not decoration. They're actually a second independent map of which part of your body is active right now. When Western astrology and Chinese five element theory point to the same organ or to the same story at the same time, that's two different ancient systems from two different parts of the world agreeing with each other. That's worth paying attention to here. [14:19] The body map Why melothesia as your body map? Body focus and your gut intelligence cue come from melothesia, which is the ancient practice of matching each sign to a real part of the body. We draw from historical sources that are found in places like the Library of Congress, Zodiac Man is an example. We make sure that every transit lands somewhere specific in you, not just as an abstract idea floating above your head, but actually in your physical body. [14:56] Plant allies And you'll hear us talk about Culpeper, which is your plant ally. For the real food revolution and plant ally, I turn to Nicholas Culpeper's 17th century herbal traditions, matching each reading's herb to its planetary ruler. Not just handing us the same plant every time that our sun, you know, sign or a rising sign comes around, but choosing the plant whose signature actually matches what's active in the sky that day. [15:27] Cycles, color, and light And why numerology, color, and light? Well, numerology exists because your life already runs on cycles and repeating numbers. The year, the month, the day, we notice it in time. And naming the number names the pattern that your body is already living inside, which is kind of interesting. The color in the gemstone cue exists because color and mineral resonance are their own ancient language for the same planetary signature. A way to literally surround yourself in what you wear or hold with that reading's medicine, which is kind of cool. And the light activation exists because your body responds to light directly, the same way of logic as the water that we just talked about. So a sky message can become a felt physical practice and not just a thought. [16:27] The Soul Sky The collective Soul Sky and the draconic layer. There's one more layer that many of you have heard me talk about, but might not have heard of before. And it's called the draconic chart, or what I call the soul sky. Everything else in a reading is the tropical chart, the sky of your personality, your identity, the self, the world, and kind of where that meets. The draconic chart takes the same sky and it rotates it. So the lunar north node, the point of the soul's growth and destiny, sits at zero degrees Aries, which is the very beginning of the zodiac. Every planet shifts with it. What you get is not a different sky, it's the same sky, read from the level of the soul instead of the personality. So we now bring a collective version of this into broadcasts showing what the world's soul is doing underneath the everyday personality level news that we kind of see out there. The beliefs that are underneath all of this are kind of that your body is not separate from your sky. The sky moves and your body feels it first. You feel it in your gut, in your breath, in your energy before you even have the words for what's happening. A SoulBody reading is my attempt to give you those words and then give you one real doable action for your body, your gut, and your soul every single time. Every category in a SoulBody reading is here because it's a real doorway between the sky and your body. Nothing is here just for tradition's sake. You can find another reading that does all three out there, but body, soul, and sky together verified every single time is a little bit unique. That's why I built this one for y'all. What to do next?
