Transcript

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. It's been a minute, been some changes, and we're not gonna talk about them this episode, so I can just get into what I wanna tell you. So, in one of the prior episodes, I had promised a astrology episode where I was gonna talk about some of the major things happening in 2025, and I already stated, in prior content here in other places that the astrology of 2025 from a collective major shift starts.

Pretty much to the nose at Q2. So the first three months were personal stuff. I had a lot of people coming to me to get guidance for themselves, but the collective stuff really starts Q2 and beyond, and I only talk about collective stuff when I talk macro because I am not a pop astrologer. I'm not a horoscope.

Push our, I have a lot of other negative things to say. I'm gonna spare, spare you those comments. You know, my philosophy on all that stuff. Look, big stuff is happening and I arranged a conversation with somebody and I had a conversation with someone and she's awesome.

And, we had a technical difficulty with the file. Probably a fuck up on my part and I feel horrible and I gotta actually email her now and tell her that I've been avoiding that conversation because I was hoping to retrieve it. And that's why I waited, waited, waited to put this out and it doesn't look like it's gonna be retrievable.

So, but something else even better came out out of it. Story for the future. Life always works out. But I did promise you an episode and. Even though this is not an astrology podcast, and I know you do not, you're not listening to me for my astrology stuff, although you might have found me for my astrology stuff a long time ago, I would be remiss to just be like, oops, the file got screwed up and we're not gonna do it.

I'm not gonna do that. And here's why. Because the theme of this podcast is the Aligned Alchemist. You know this. You know that for those of you who've been in the world for a while, it was the original name of the podcast. It then became the name of the brand, and I have a couple of introductory episodes on the Hello.

It's me part one. I never did part two. Maybe part two will be the last episode of the season, and I talk a lot about the sun on the cover. I talk a lot about. The sun being your purpose in astrology and the sun being exalted in Aries. Aries being the sign of the entrepreneur, Aries being the fool. IE the zero degree card in tarot IE.

Aries being the risk taker. Aries being the person who's unafraid to jump first. Everyone, everybody else is waiting on the edge. The Aries jumps. There's low sides to Aries as well. Foolishness, hot headedness, all that kind of stuff. And the Aligned Alchemist as a brand is a celebration of risk takers.

It is a celebration of non-conventional. It is a celebration of entrepreneurship. It is a celebration of living in line with your. Path. I don't use the word purpose, and that's a future episode, and it is a celebration of people who unapologetically walk their path, whatever that looks like. And that can look like you're a corporate exec, you're an entrepreneur, you go bankrupt, you start a different company, you go back to corporate America, you leave corporate America, and then you start a third company in your sixties and you make it.

It is every step of that journey. It's not just the celebration of the milestones that look good on social media. In the last episode of the season, I will relay the story of how this podcast came about. I've hinted about it in other stuff and I've talked about it in other content, and the passion I have for this will

And it's this unfuckable with attitude of. Unapologetic ownership of the path and also being someone that is tuned into the spirit realm. You could use whatever system you want for that. You could use divine guides, you could use your intuition, you could use astrology for that.

You could use human design for that. You could use all of them for that. Crystals other things, omens. Which are the same things as signs. That's what the Aligned Alchemist used. That's what the Alchemist used in the book. It's the unapologetic. Listening to that in contrast to what other people are gonna tell you makes sense in contrast to the dog of society.

In contrast to quote experts, it's this notion that your higher self and your higher wisdom knows better than they do, and they might be on a different timeline. And that's one of the challenges in business, right? The experts are right, right now, and they're gonna get you where you wanna get right now.

And they're not wrong, but they're not the ones who have the vision for where you wanna be five years from now. And where do those two come together? So then we're gonna get more into as well, and the third piece is the ability to alchemize mistakes.

Challenges, tragedies, fuck ups in quotes, failures in quotes, into wisdom, into stories, into power, into an ability to be even more unfuckable with. That's what the Aligned Alchemist is about, and this podcast is a piece of that, and this podcast is shifting in direction. But that is the essence for the brand and that is why originally there was a sun on the cover because the sun is exalted in Aries.

So as I speak, we are heading to a very, very powerful time that has to do with this notion of I am, I am being our core sense of identity Aries, and that determines every other aspect of our lives, the story we tell ourselves. How we see ourself do we see ourselves as the creator? Aries is Artes artist and it is associated with the head, our identity.

It's often associated with the first house, which is a house that is when we, right after our birth, first house of the Zodiac. And so the reason I wanted to bring in this astrology conversation. I'm still having this episode now, even though the one with my colleague didn't work out and I still think it worked out for the best for certain reasons that I'll talk about later is that we are in a very, very pivotal time of I am right now,

and there are so many major shifts that have been happening and are going to be happening right now collectively. That affect that personal aspect that I wanted to bring that in here. If you're not familiar, my specialty is personalized transit astrology and progression astrology. I work with people 38 plus, and I focus on progressions and transits, which is your evolving soul self.

That's not to say I don't bring in your natal aspects and your superpowers. That's branding. That's a different, I'm talking about when you're just doing pure play astrology. That's the work that I do. And before I get into it, I actually, this is spontaneous, I, I'm gonna forget, so I wanna bring this in before I put it at the end.

I have been doing cosmic clarity readings, which are what I do, and I work with people. They're going through transition and career and business. They want clarity on the path they need to unlock something. And I do those, and I've been doing them for about two and a half years. And I've changed the format of that.

And that format now involves Voxer, which is a coaching, it's not only coaching, but it's like, you know, it's asynchronous q and a. Think of it as like Signal or WhatsApp . And so I wanna test a few more people doing that format. 

Basically you get a reading and all that, but then it's follow up q and a over extended couple of days using that format. I'm doing a few people doing that, DM me on Instagram, I am. The aligned chemist everywhere. , that's also in the show notes, the link and if you're interested, and there's gonna be a considerable discount from what the full price for that is.

 Those are readings are over 300. , there'll be just considerable discount for people who want to get the reading. 

And I wanna offer it up to my tribe first.

I do that and I do collective astrology, which is the patterns of society, and that was my first podcast that started literally three years ago. I'm talking to you during the dark moon of the Virgo Full Moon and on the Virgo Full Moon. Three years ago, cosmic alarm clock in the middle of the night was launched.

And I've talked about how I, most of those episodes were recorded in the middle of the night, and that evolved and changed. It still exists and I'm bringing it back in it, and I'll talk about that in the future. But , as it exists now is going to close and it's going to exist in a new form in the future.

And there's, this is the time of closing chapters from the past and opening up new doors and or things we started might just be shifting and pivoting, especially if we started them. In the last couple years. And so the reason I share that is because I did a deep dive.

They'll probably be released tomorrow on cosmic alarm clock podcast and cosmic alarm clock, YouTube channel. I'll link those below when they're live in this episode. And those are more of a deep dive on the astrology, astrology, the mundane aspects. The collective, the societal, the whatever.

Those are channeled, those are not politically correct. Those are not edited, and those are not geared towards business. Those are what they are. But , coming back to the identity piece for this right now, we've got a lot going on. So in a nutshell, if I was to give you a snapshot of what's happening, we've got a new moon, a solar eclipse in Aries coming up in a day or two.

That eclipse corresponds to 19 years ago, which was the eclipse that happened March 29th, 2005. So if you're old enough, check out that I had a conversation with someone today, going back to a job that I left in end of March of 2005. So Astrology's always real and literal. If you can read the map, the tea leaves.

 The sun moved into Aries last week. This is a new moon in Aries, the next day we have Neptune moving into Aries. Neptune hasn't been an Aries since 1875, and the first time it moved into Aries is 1861. Neptune is the spirituality planet, and Neptune in Aries is the spiritual warrior, there's a lot of fuck ton of Aries coming on right now, and Aries is fire. And then in May we have Saturn moving into Aries right around Memorial Day, Saturn being business, Saturn being the reality structures of our life, Saturn being the authority of ourselves. What rules do we follow?

Who is the author of our life? What boundaries do we listen to? And it's the boundaries of society. So these are collective discussions, and that's why I talk about that on cosmic alarm clock. But as an entrepreneur, this is going to affect you because there is a massive rebirth happening now for a lot of people.

And this is a slow build. Because the universe knows what it's doing and it likes to stagger this stuff. So we've got Neptune moving in now. We're gonna have Saturn moving in my memorial day, and then Uranus moves in to Gemini in July, around July 4th. We've gone from water and earth for the past, since 2008 to a lot of air and fire.

And I've been in, , dms with different astrologers on Instagram. I'm not super active on that platform right now, but I do, I'm active in my dms with just as, I use it as like a net, a mini email networking tool. And, , none of us have seen this in our lifetime. I'm 47 years old. None of us have seen this kind of energy.

We're all of the outer planets are moving to like fire and air. It's gonna be very cool. Now they're gonna go back and then the real thing is 2026. So Neptune's gonna go in this weekend. Saturn goes in in May, and then they meet around Valentine's Day 2026. Everything we do now is in preparation for February of 2026.

That is a quick and dirty, because this is an astrology podcast and I go into a deeper dive on cosmic alarm clock, and I wanna keep this brief, but I want to let you know that that is kind of what's happening. It's this fireball literally that's starting right now in building.

That's really exciting. That's really powerful, and that really, really speaks to the notion of the aligned alchemist where you come through the fire, you come out the other side and you.

Are even stronger. This whole notion of the rising phoenix, you know, Scorpio's, the rising Phoenix, 'cause it transforms through shedding. We've had four new moons at nine degrees in a row. We had the cap New moon in December. That was basically on New Year's Eve. Technically it was a 2024 New Moon. And then we've had four of them.

And this one on Saturday is gonna be the last at nine degrees. Each of these have been at nine degrees, four forms of foundation. Which I've talked about in the past, but nine is in numerology, the last number. So you go up to nine, then you start over. So this is a year of shedding collectively, and you can feel it.

Now I'm bringing together systems including Chinese, astrology, western astrology, and numerology, which don't actually. Relate to one another, but maybe they don't need to because maybe they're all pointing at the same thing. That's what pattern analysis is. You're looking at different entry points and saying, okay, what is the intersection of that point?

And then on top of that, each of these new moons have been at nine, so it's been a shedding in a building. So we're building a whole new foundation under ourselves. And regardless of business, regardless of all this other macro shit going on, a solar eclipse. It's a big deal. Like I said, the correspondence to the one that's gonna happen on Saturday is 2005.

It is a powerful, powerful rebirth energy in the sign of Aries. And you can look into your chart. I don't do whole sign houses. I look at the specific aspect and areas, 'cause it's gonna trigger stuff in your chart, of where this is happening for rough themes. But. If you're interested in astrology at all, and you're listening to this episode, this isn't new to you.

So that's why I'm not going into a deep, deep dive because you probably heard this somewhere, you know? , a lot of the surface stuff is shit and, , I'm not gonna continue to belabor that point 'cause you know, my philosophy on that. , Going back to how I started this episode, this is a call to shine your light in even bolder way than you have already.

And I don't mean this in like a trite like step into your power girl, like, I mean like whatever that means to you. Right? A lot of what you're gonna hear me do on this podcast is bring personal development down to a ground level, to a realistic level, to a digestible level, including business stuff because that's where I think it matters.

I think motivational stuff is great and they make great YouTube clips and great Instagram memes, but I want the stuff that I say to you, be actionable and I want it to be practical and I want it to change the way you think, and I want it to feel doable for you. So when I say in Shine bright.

Just, I want you to think about just where are you holding yourself back in life? Where are you not being as creative as you could be? Where are you holding onto old identities that no longer serve you?

And in general, what can you shed from your current life? That might be getting in the way of your new future,

this is a lot more of a yang energy we're moving into. We've been in a lot of yin energy. It's lot of yang energy, so it's exciting. I'm excited. I feel collective energy, which is why I started the podcast cosmic alarm clock, so I can feel this shift. And a lot of this is also just gonna be the stuff in the news and politics and all this stuff I'm not gonna talk about on this channel.

I'll talk about that on cosmic alarm clock. I will be talking about that more. I'll let you guys know what I'm doing with that when I know more. I have different projects and I kind of focus on different things as it makes sense. I also wanted to come on here, , and do this episode because I have to come on today.

 I waited till the last minute because I was hoping to be able to recover that file, and

it gives me an opportunity to let you know I might be taking a break from the podcast for a minute Now, I always told you it was seasonal and I have a couple episodes I do wanna drop before the season ends. Those might be. . In a minute, I wanna, I'm, I'm taking some time to focus on some things, , behind the scenes that I wanna get my ducks in a row.

In terms of, as you can see, the podcast has changed. We're in the midst of a change. We're in the midst of an alchemy. I think the podcast cover still says the old name. Like things are moving, things are changing, but you can read between the lines and the new content is much more geared towards that.

, but I wanna just. Let you guys know that as well. , And I think when I come back for season two, whenever that will be, this will be a video podcast. So then it'll be on YouTube as a proper video podcast, which I don't love, , because I like to be spontaneous in the way I record.

And normally I look homeless regardless of how I show up on YouTube. , my aesthetic is homeless. But you know. I, I, I was a guest on a podcast once. It was a video podcast, and she's also a podcast specialist, and we were talking about video versus audio, and she said, I think the facial expressions and all of that, you can just get such a sense of authenticity from somebody when you can see their face even more than they can.

Hear their voice and a compliment I get from a lot of people on YouTube and social media. Thank you. For those of you who share this with me, is that I have a voice of authenticity. There's a truth teller that's the five one in me, that's the Scorpio rising. , I mean, I wish I could get away with anything else.

I can't. You can feel that in my voice that I am communicating and mean everything I say. I embody what I talk about, but I also think that if that's even gonna be even more apparent by seeing my face, , then why not do that? And it'll give people a lot more of an opportunity to participate in the podcast.

'cause a video podcast on YouTube is just gonna do better. That's just the way it is. And technology is changing and social media is changing and all that. And that's gonna be stuff I talk about on the other content. 'cause that's more, pattern astrology and collective themes.

But social media is changing. If you're a business owner and you're relying on that, that's gonna fundamentally shift in 2026. This shift has already started. , I can tell you that social media will be a very small part of this brand. I'm gonna be primarily focused on YouTube and my podcast.

That's my goal, and we'll see how that goes. But it's kind of a time to decide where do you wanna plant your tree? We're planting a tree now. And that's not just social media, that's in business, that's in different areas. Where do you wanna plant your tree? As this kind of, this concept of reinvention.

So there's probably gonna be a lot of fanfare and hullabaloo and all this about world events. There are gonna be probably dramatic world events. . I'll just say the last time Neptune moved into Aries was the start of the Civil War. , so you know that's not gonna happen, but things are gonna happen and we have to be really dialed into our own goals. Aries is a selfish sign. Aries is me, and it's a focus on my goals. And what I wanna do in my art and my creative expression, and that is ultimately very, very important. If you wanna hear other thoughts I've had on Neptune and Pisces and collectively and all that kind of stuff, I have a bunch of other episodes on the main channel.

And then eventually on cosmic alarm clock, the new channel where I talk about all the collective stuff. And a lot of this stuff that's happening, I've already kind of predicted two to three years ago because astrology works in, it's like a wave. It's coming once. It's finally here it is here. But, I kind of said a lot of this stuff a long time ago.

So, , it's a new era. It's a new life chapter. It's a new expression of self. It's a new expression of spirituality. , it's gonna be a, hopefully a dissolving of a lot of the people we've seen in the business coaching space and in the bro marketing space that need to just be flushed down the toilet, frankly.

Um, I said in the threads, I said something like, and I'm a lot more feisty on threads. I just say stuff, right? So I know I'm not gonna expo, I'm not gonna, I'll spare you guys that stuff. You can follow me on threads at the aligned Alchemist. You're interested. I think I said something like, you know, the pro marketing paradigm of pre 2020 and the post 2020, love and light 

no credential. Divine feminine goddess, spirit, business coach are gonna hold hands and jump into the fire that Neptune and Saturn are about to light and neptune's a spirituality. And Saturn is authority and integrity and boundaries and discernment. And Pisces has been a dilu disillusion of everything and I've been in the online world since 2011.

 I've seen a lot of this stuff and I got out of the health coaching world as soon as I got into it because I just thought the whole thing was a sham. And I then started my own product line and started my own company in it. 'cause I was like, I don't wanna be involved in this. But I took all the courses, I took all the masterminds, I was in all the things.

I was on the outskirts of digital marketing, even if I wasn't in it for, I've been in it for 14 years. Other than I briefly took a break, maybe like 2019 through 2021, and then I came back and it's been an explosion of, I don't know what, but it's gonna be a, a contraction and an, and a discernment.

And if you are a business owner that is looking for integrity and discernment to reenter the space, I think that's hopefully what we're coming to. Wherever Saturn is has a huge impact on society and we've never seen this energy before. So it's gonna be interesting to see. Like I said, the last time Neptune was an Aries was 1861, and I couldn't tell you the last time 

saturn was an Aries in 1999. So I'll give you a little interesting fact tip about my life, , as we cross cross this out. So when I graduated from college, Saturn entered Aries, and when Neptune went into Pisces, I became an entrepreneur. So now these two are combining and I'm reinventing myself professionally and personally and seeing what I wanna do as I build out this platform.

And it's gonna be interesting to see, and I'm open to whatever that's gonna look like, I think for all of us, this is about being open to what the future might look like for us. What is our path gonna look like? What is our path gonna unfold? Like it may not be what we think. It may not be what we had in mind and being open.

To what that might be, I think is gonna be a very, very important characteristic to have right now, because we are entering uncharted territory, and that's exciting. I love change. I'm Scorpio Rising. I have Pluto on my north node. I was built for transformation. It's why I have a brand like this and why I have a podcast like this.

So I don't think we have to be afraid of anything. I think it's, it's about leaning in. This is a time to lean in, not in the Sheryl Sandberg fucking, whatever that garbage was. I mean, lean in like, like, like it's a cold night and there's a big fire roaring, like lean in, get warm. Thank you for coming to my virtual fire.

Thank you for listening to the aligned alchemist, aligned CEO, awakening you to magic. Now rewiring and we are rewiring and rewiring, and that's what's happening right now. Internally, as we prepare for this collective new rebirth, all the aspects of cosmic alarm clock. The collective discussion.

I'll put that up. I'll link that. I'll link the one to the podcast and the YouTube channel. By the way, that will be the last episode that goes on the podcast. Anything after this will be exclusive to the YouTube channel, and this episode will also go up from my YouTube channel and cosmic clarity. Only accepting two folks first come, first serve.

Those will be $200. They go way up beyond that afterwards, if you're interested, and people are loving the Voxer. 'cause it's, it's like you're just getting like, it's a great way to just, 

to integrate the reading and get all your questions answered, and, , it's like, it's like, you know, cosmic clarity meets cosmic coaching. I'm really enjoying this new format, so DM me on Instagram if you're interested.

Happy eclipse. See you on the next one.
