How Astrology Explains Repeating Life Patterns: Spiritual Awakening & Consciousness

You know the pattern is there. You've seen it loop enough times to wonder if the universe is taking notes. If you've ever felt like certain doors refuse to open, or open too easily at exactly the wrong moment...this conversation reveals what's been quietly influencing your choices before you even made them.

Episode Overview
Astrologer and intuitive guide Gabrielle Celeste joins Will and Karen to explore how consciousness, astrology, and subconscious patterns shape the decisions we think we're making freely. This isn't about horoscopes or vague predictions. It's about understanding why specific themes keep surfacing in your relationships, career, and timing, and what your birth chart reveals about the patterns you're unconsciously running.

Gabrielle shares her journey from corporate fall guy to full-time astrologer, explains how your chart functions as a cosmic roadmap (not a prison sentence), and breaks down the difference between sun, moon, and rising signs in terms anyone can grasp.

She also delivers a sobering forecast for 2026, including a February week that demands your attention.

Questions This Episode Answers

  • Is your birth chart a cosmic blueprint or a predetermined sentence? Gabrielle explains what your natal chart actually captures, and whether you're stuck with what it reveals.
  • Why does knowing you're a Gemini (or any sun sign) tell you almost nothing about yourself? Discover which of the "big three" astrological placements reveals the truest expression of your soul, and why most people are reading astrology backwards.
  • How do professional astrologers actually see what's coming? Gabrielle reveals how she blends chart readings with intuition, numerology, and shamanic training, and shares examples of eerily specific predictions that came true years later.
  • What separates ethical spiritual practitioners from the grifters? Hear Gabrielle's unfiltered take on what's required before you're qualified to hold space for others...and why bypassing your own shadow work harms the people you claim to serve.
  • What astrological events in 2026 should actually be on your radar? Gabrielle breaks down the most significant transits of the year, including a cosmically loaded week in February and why October/November might echo unfinished business from 2018.
  • How can you tell when you're resisting alignment versus actually lacking it? Gabrielle offers a surprisingly simple divination tool you already have...no chart required.

Why This Conversation Is Different
Gabrielle doesn't sell certainty or comfort. She acknowledges the paradox of free will versus cosmic influence without pretending to have all the answers. She's transparent about what astrology can't predict (and what she refuses to touch, like exact death dates). She calls out grifters in the spiritual space who chase profit over purpose. And she frames astrology not as mystical fortune-telling, but as a practical lens for understanding subconscious blocks, timing friction, and recurring life patterns; concepts skeptics can respect even if they don't "believe."

This episode avoids both spiritual bypassing and cynical dismissiveness. It's grounded, curious, and refreshingly honest about the limits of any single system.

For the Skeptic Still Reading
You don't have to believe in astrology for patterns to exist in your life. You don't have to accept fate to recognize that certain themes keep surfacing. Gabrielle's work, whether you interpret it as cosmic influence or psychological archetype, offers a framework for seeing what you've been unconsciously repeating. If nothing else, it's a mirror. And mirrors don't lie, even when the reflection makes you uncomfortable.

Curiosity isn't gullibility. Exploring astrology doesn't mean abandoning critical thinking. It means asking: What if there's a structure I haven't noticed yet?

0:00 Karen. Yes. You ever feel like something in your life knows your moves before you even make them? Something or someone? Something. Maybe someone although that could be a whole other story and not for this podcast. Yes to both. Okay. So the big question is how many times can a person say this time is going to be different before the universe just starts nodding politely? I don't know because I passed that mark while. Apparently some of us are very consistent painfully consistent. And today's guess works with the part of life that has been quietly tracking that consistency long before you ever noticed it. Oh boy.

0:42 She works with something. Most people don't even realize that they're already responding to suddenly constantly and usually unconsciously. She helps people uncover why certain doors never open. Why others open to easily and why timing good or bad seems to follow a suspiciously consistent pattern. I wonder if I'm one of those revolving door loops. I think she might help you with a lot of it. Yeah. Because once you see that pattern Karen you are not going to be able to claim ignorance anymore at that point. You're going to have to own it. So if you've ever wondered why your instincts are right but your results are off or why life keeps nudging you in the same direction no matter how much you resist you're going to want to stay with us because this conversation isn't going to tell you what to believe. It's actually going to quietly show you what's been influencing you all along. And Karen after this one the I don't know what is keeps happening to me excuse officially off the table. You're talking for you right? Absolutely.

1:45 My name is Will and I'm Karen and unlike Mulder and Scully both want to believe so we've embarked on a journey of discovery. We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual and metaphysical world. We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences. I even joined a covenant which is and wait you joined a covenant. Yep all in the interest of finding something anything that will prove that there's something beyond this physical three dimensional world we all live in. This is the skeptic metaphysicians.

2:26 Hey there before we get to the interview we have a small ask. If you know someone who would benefit from hearing the messages that we are sharing on the show well won't you do them an awesome favor and share the show with them. Take a moment right now and forward this episode to that person. That's it. Just a simple ask for your help in spreading the word. We depreciate it so much. It's not only will it help get the word out about us but it also might just change someone's life for the better. Thanks for your help on this. Without further ado let's get on to the interview. Hey there I'm Will and I'm Karen welcome back to the universe busting episode of skeptic metaphysicians. Our guest today helps people understand why certain patterns keep showing up in their lives and more importantly what to do about them. She blends astrology with intuitive insight in a way that's less about predictions and more about awareness.

3:24 Uncovering subconscious blocks timing friction and the unseen influences shaping decisions most of us think that we are making freely instead of telling you what's going to happen she helps you work with what's already in motion so your choices are aligned intentional and actually yours. With that no further ado welcome to the show Gabrielle Celeste. How are you doing today Gabrielle? Hi thank you so much for having me I'm so excited to be on and I just know this episode is going to be a good time and thank you for that very kind introduction. I think I'm going to have to literally take it verbatim and put it on the left side. Well no after almost five years of doing the show we do have now a rate card that we share with people when they want to do things. You're welcome to use whatever you like from that that's very nice you just think it was nice it makes me feel good when people think it's nice and you can just get the recording on the phone and when you're walking to him just play it and then walk in. I feel very as millennial say gassed up so I feel very like oh hey thank you I'm feeling myself right now. Awesome well as gassed up as you are I do I listen to your show well I love it as soon as I discovered it your podcast is called the spiritual sisters podcast right yeah and one of the things that you do on the show right at the very top is something I want to do to you today and I basically to ask you what are your big three astrological signs. So I have to remember like not to be the podcaster and like because I wanted to ask you both this so we're going to do a trade all in. We have to have you on we'll ask you the same news so I was like I listened a couple

4:57 episodes of yours as well and I was like okay I'm really curious and I'm sure you've shared it across various episodes but maybe just not the one that I listened to so I'm like okay I'm totally asking those questions as well and I have thoughts in my mind but I am a cancer son Pisces Moon Pisces rising lots of water in my chart which is why I name my business Agua astrology in reverence of my ancestry and all the things but yeah Pisces Moon in the first house so I'm a very emotional and sensitive watery flowy being. Well without giving too much away you are in good company so you know though it's interesting because you said you're going to ask is I just know one cancer. We're going to take care of that. Oh my god. I don't know about the other stuff.

5:37 It's interesting that you do that every show because as I listen to your show it suddenly it clicked like it gives you a certain barometer right so that you can have the conversation in a way that makes sense when you like I've never asked almost any guest before what their astrological signs are it never occurred to me but had I done that to a certain few that I can remember I would have gone in a different way and made things much easier for everybody involved. So thank you for that trek I'm gonna start with another one so thank you for asking. All right so let's get down to the nitty now that we've wasted enough time. We are here not just to talk about astrology because you do use astrology but you use it it's not about reading your horoscope every day. It goes way deeper than that. You help people to understand what influences are working in their life in every aspect of their life and then help them to kind of get themselves on track to make things easier for themselves is that fair? Yeah absolutely. I think initially when I started so to background in terms of like how I even got into this work I I feel like I was new I was intuitive but that's a side programming kind of leads you to believe like no like you're crazy like that is you know not possible or even a thing but I went through this really gnarly transition it happens upwards of up to three times in your life if you're fortunate to live that long

7:10 and I had gone through what's called my satan return so you experienced this roughly around 27 to 30 57 to 16 and then if you're lucky enough to live that long 87 to 90 and it's almost like a last an astrological initiation into adulthood and I essentially during my satan return my satan is in the 12th house it's a very spiritual placement it's a it's a placement that indicates that there's a lot of there's many members in your lineage that have you know intuitive gifts but during my satan return which was at its core my spiritual awakening I was the fall guy for a multi-million dollar investigation where I had I had basically in my 20s she was a go-getter she's very type A um I had built up this whole west coast organization for a corporate 500 company and it was certainly a divine orchestration for me to basically get out of there and essentially start doing what I'm doing now and no one had answers for me no one had answers for me no one could help me I mean I think obviously the people around me let love me like my parents and my family wanted to but it was a bigger thing that was going on and I spoke with my girlfriend she was into she's a yoga teacher she's been a yoga teacher her and her daughter for decades and she was practicing made a astrology and she I didn't even know my birth time up until this point but I was always very interested in it because my dad he would watch you know Walter Mercado growing up so I was like tuned in and locked into to that world as a kid can you talk to

8:41 two Hispanics we know yeah he was for those who are uninitiated he was a very flamboyant man with flowing robes and rings on all his fingers and feathered white hair and he every Hispanic family had him on in the afternoons everyone so he was he was my first teacher into astrology for sure I mean the goat right iconic and so I always I was always into this work right and I like you had grown up very Catholic and I had it just kind of is just programming you know you come to doubt it so my girlfriend she introduced me to Vedic astrology and from then I was like I need to know I need to do this and you know it turns out with past life which I firmly believe in especially with the amount of readings that I've done that you know I was I am or I was a past life an astrology or in a past life and since then I've used astrology as my main foundational tool to support others getting on path and what their soul is asking them to do or wants them to do in this lifetime per their soul contracts and for me in my belief system I believe that your natal birth chart is your essentially your roadmap in the syncharnation it's what you signed up to do and it's a it's a guiding post if you will and yeah I've never looked back and my business has developed based on the shadow work that I've done really heavily in the last two years I would say and now I really enjoy supporting those I mean I still offer readings focused on astrology and all of that but I really enjoy supporting my clients and colleagues to better understand their subconscious mind and their shadow work and

10:14 their specific flavor of that right so just to clarify you still do Vedic or we've talked to someone who did sideereal astrology that's a very different thing where you're talking very it's different I practice actually plasticists so it's very it doesn't look like as even on the wheel it's more split up and it's based on the numbers so I incorporate Pythagorean numerology into my services and my reading specifically and the reason for that is just that's how I study that's how my teachers taught it and I yeah I love it go right yeah any questions I'm taking over the entire I'm kind of because I don't you know I don't know much about astrology right so I'm just kind of listening and learning like all these you can just kind of go back to the introduction you know when the question you asked her like all these different houses I don't know what any of that even means mm-hmm so well you should listen to some podcasts that we have out there that we've talked to people I know but it's you know we've done a few hundred we have which are all out there and available for people to listen to I'm just saying so anyway Gabriel what's the biggest misunderstanding people have about astrology that to the that you experience when people come to you I feel like I don't know if that I would say it's a misunderstanding but I feel like pop astrology and it's like you have sun in jemenai or your scorpio like just the traditional stereotypes kind of give us a bad rep and I would also say also just knowing that there's more to it than like your

11:49 sun sign is a good place to start and it's it's encompassing of not just like your sun placement it's all of the other planetary the luminary bodies in the actual wheel and understanding that like your chart kicks off with your rising sign which is your ascendant which is the rathy southwest it's like if you're looking at it directly it's like in the western part if you're looking directly at the chart itself and knowing what your rising sign is kicks off the chart and the other 12 houses and those houses essentially represent different areas of life so understanding how it all comes together and the synthesis of the luminaries the houses and the signs really makes up your own specific flavor and cosmic blueprint so I feel like pop astrology it's a very limited view of what astrology actually is but I think that's what most people are familiar with. Okay so you know we've hear it a lot you know I got my chart done and you should get your chart done. Where does the chart like what is the chart like what does that come from is that just like what was happening in the solar system when you were born like what what does the chart mean? Yeah exactly so it is a picture of the sky at the exact moment of your birth and you can put it into a system like OG astrologers I am not that skilled would quite literally like map it out you know and be able to like hand draw it out and I feel like that was quite popular up until the 70s if I recall in my studies. I'm not saying that people today can't do it I just don't know if it's as frequent because we do have these automated systems available to us but essentially you pull your exact time of birth your place of birth and

13:25 your date of birth and then it's going to cast that chart and the chart itself doesn't change it follows you for your incarnation in this lifetime it can speak to previous lifetimes and if you don't know your exact birth time because I know in some states and some countries that's not really recorded I'm in California I was born in California so I'm very fortunate to have that birth certificate the time on my birth certificate but astrologers can use noon we normally use noon and then there's this process and it's quite detailed and I would highly advise going to a well-rounded and practiced and birthed astrologer to basically execute what's called rectification and so they kind of deduce what potential time you were born at based off of really key important dates in your life like marriage having your first child and so forth. Wow. Robert, we can go now.

14:15 How are the Molly? So how can so my I'm just going to reveal it I'm a Gemini Sun like yeah that's on brand that makes sense and now knowing your background I was like oh it's so fitting I love this for you. Gemini Sun, liberizing, liber moon. Oh that stuff because I know astrology. Yeah I go how many times I ask someone what their birth date is like all the other things. No I don't that you have to go more into detail you have to pull you chart but I pull my chart on all my times but yeah yeah yeah I didn't know I love that liber moon oh not that I don't like the other two but I'm like oh that's so special. That's not real.

14:57 It's not like short bus special though right? No no no I just I actually wanted to pay you a compliment that I think both the work that they're you're both doing in the podcast that you're doing is such an active service and it seems like you really enjoy it and I also appreciate of you well that you know it's there's not as many men in this space and also just men in general that like for me that really resonate so and we'll get into this on on my show but just like you being open to the work being familiar with these topics just like being in the known with it like that's really cool. Well thank you that's what I see you say I wasn't always like this the little me but the show has helped a lot for sure but I have I was I've been in astrology since I was in my 20s. Yeah and you had your whole time of exploration. I didn't need it all that stuff. I did yeah but at the time it was it was because I wanted to I wanted all the toys. I wanted to ask project. I wanted to you know the past life of aggression. I wanted to do all the kind of stuff healing people things like that. Now just a very different motivation. But you don't have that stuff anymore. You know you do.

15:55 I mean if I get it all the way sure but I'm not actively trying to seek it out. I mean now it's for a different reason but okay so so which one of those you mentioned pop astrology people think your son is who you are right. So all you're a Gemini oh Gemini this is how you're going to be like your two-faced or whatever all that kind of stuff. Which one of those three do you feel is most like somebody in a general sense. I know it's a difficult question but in a general sense which one seems more like the person. Yeah I mean I go back and forth between the sun and the rising. So the way that I read it and I interpret it and how I just blend all of my modalities and my gifts together is I see the sun as your ego in your chart and I see it as where there's the most potential for your light to be cast and for you to go through those ego deaths and or you're going to find maybe reprieve for that. I see the moon so that I'm going off the big three. The moon is your emotional layer of consciousness. It's your psyche. It's your inner world but I also see the rising sign as the true expression of your soul and it's almost kind of like that energy that you pick up when you meet someone and I think the example that I like to use in readings is you know it's like your Gemini but you're really not a Gemini because you're Scorpio rising and your Scorpio is really what people are picking up off of you. So you can have definitely those two dichotomies but people are going to at least as you interact with them feel more of the Scorpio than maybe the Gemini and I would say probably rising sign. And I've heard that you know rising or moon I forgot which one is which

17:27 one of them is more about how you see yourself versus the other is how people see you is that true? Yeah I see I see the moon I would say is how you see yourself and then the rising other scene. Okay. So how is it that the sky or the the the galaxy? I knew you're going to have questions like someone you know says to the point where being born at a certain time a certain day can affect you and then after that I would imagine because we have billions of people on the planet that does that mean that everyone born at the same time on the same day is the same very very similar.

18:09 Well now because there are different places in things like that. So the place is also so it's not just the date and the time. Yeah the places yeah the places are going to affect where the planetary body so like if it was the same day and same time but different locations like you're likely going to have the same like Sun potentially moon Mercury Venus and all of that but the rising would be different for the location and then the houses that the planetary bodies and luminaries fall into will also be impacted and you know I feel like I dance with that too and that's one of those like I give it up to the universe source consciousness where I'm like I'm never going to know the answer to like why these the cosmic the cosmos influence how we are in human being form and I feel like that's just kind of one of those like black holes that you could really go into and I feel like also I mean I'm sure you two both know like you like if you really go down this road and like all the doors that open it's like it could lead you to psychosis and I definitely have like my dance with that for sure yeah I have been accused of being crazy on a occasion or one time or two so as a as a as a pragmatist at heart I thought that question has crossed my mind several times and I my attempt at explaining that is something as simple as the the water molecule inside of us for example the moon controls the tides of the planet so it definitely the people they say that please say that when the moon is full that's when they get the most amount of calls right so it affects us by

19:41 the the the polar gravity of the moon so perhaps there is a gravitational pull in each one of these heavenly bodies that impact us the minute that we're born based on where they were in the in the sky at the time of our birth by affecting the water molecules or whatever it is inside of our bodies that are affected by things like the moon in the tides yeah I hear yes what he says just right feeble attempt who knows but but the the biggest question mark though is how it influences you so much in the future like in the intro we talked about how you help people to put themselves in the best position for success in their lives and things like that how you you there are now not only a bazillion planets but now there are comets and asteroids and moons and stars and the houses and how does all that help you to guide someone to be the best they can be yeah I'll be honest I feel like I could better educate myself on the astronomy portion of it with like all these extra planetary bodies that could influence the prediction element of it but the the way in which I go about it and how I even I started as well so traditionally I would study the transits and working with so the sun moon not the rising sign but your mercury Venus Mars Jupiter Uranus

21:15 Neptune Pluto I do work with kiron and I work with the nodes of fate and from there I apply it to the transits and I see how the planets and the bodies and where they're going are affecting whoever's charts I'm reading and having an understanding of the houses that are going to be affected by the upcoming transits allows me to deduce and to also make predictions in terms of what could be coming up for whoever I'm reading for I started with astrology and I quickly realized I have a very open third eye and what I realized is I was reading in my meditation because then I eventually I became professionally trained as an intuitive and what I recognize in my deep meditation what I was seeing for someone coming up was actually the energy of what the planets were going to be doing and how they would be affecting them and so in my opinion I think that astrologers psychics are quite literally reading into the energy of what the planets are doing. Gotcha makes sense. So what is the most frequent or common way they've helped people I don't know with their lives with astrology like are they looking for a relationship help or career help like what's the most common yeah thanks for that question hands down love money career and then health it's always those areas yeah it's yeah it's

22:45 money love and it's really cool though I will say in the last year what I've noticed in my readings I work with a lot of females I would say in the five years that I've been reading professionally and the I just started year seven end of 2026 will be year eight in just this work in general I've I've only read for like upwards of like 20 men not that I don't enjoy reading from an actually really enjoy reading from men but I feel like in this lifetime I'm quite literally meant to support women another intuitive women in this space and support them in their businesses with my business background but I I'm seeing in the last year that people are more interested in additional more expansive supportive ways in which they can step into their full power to really connect with their authentic selves to understand their subconscious minds their limiting beliefs better and I feel like that's where my gifts especially being a triple water sign having that double pices energy having half of my sharp and water allow me to be able to intuitively and psychically tap into those realms so I feel like I'm accessing a lot of the subconscious mind and now it's almost kind of been like a little bit of the inverse is the astrology looking at the charts helps me conserve my psychic intuitive energy and readings okay so can you look at someone's chart and know how to help them activate there are I don't know they expand their consciousness or also look at their tragoves not happening in a chart yeah I think everyone has the capacity to do that I think

24:15 it first it comes with willingness if I had to answer that question to organize it into like a way that is digestible I would say I'm looking at the chart I'm blending my intuitive gifts and then I'm also recalling on my different areas of education in numerology in the tarot of just a year and a half of shamanic mentorship and blending all of that and I'm in direct communication with my guides and whoever I'm rooting for as well and there are guides and spirit teams to be able to provide them with that type of feedback or support that they're looking with and I also really focus and really enjoy focusing on the seven shockers so root to crown and I can see those pretty clearly in some months field no no inevitably I'm sure you have you have people to come to you that say man I'm just I'm it's these things keep happening to me it's I just feel like it's bad luck right what what things have you seen that happen over and over again the people just just say it's bad luck but it's really you know it's just you're going in the wrong path yeah well nothing changes if nothing changes right and I usually if it's something like that it's kind of like all right well I kindly and gently would probably phrase it and have in the past that hey list like maybe the universe trying to get you and your attention for you to make different choices and you can really see quickly how certain choices of words have different types of impact on people if they're willing and ready to receive it so I guess to to further expand on

25:49 that I have what's called my mercury's in cancer so typically mercury's how you communicate how you express yourself how you speak your truth right and it reflects your mental layer of consciousness and it's directly tied to your throat chakra and usually when mercury is in a water sign it speaks to certain intuitive gifts that you have and my mercury sits at 22 degrees which is it's got an awful name but it's for two in Sabian symbols so Sabian symbols can their descriptions of the numbers of the degrees and astrology from zero to 29 and each has their own flavor different descriptions so forth and 22 is referred to as the killer be killed degree so I what I've interpreted and what I've learned from readings that I've received for myself it's how like and this is not to sound arrogant in any which way but my speaking and how I speak my messages than two of messages that I relay with my Piscy and energy and my cancer son really does have impact on people and oftentimes and this is the most rewarding thing for me is I'll hear in readings where they're like you know you said something you said something you said something that really really stood stuck with me for you know for two years and to to be able to hear that and to have that feedback and for that to just be relayed back to me is really really rewarding so yeah I hope that answered your question. Sure. Now it just so happens that I am at least I've been told that I am in my Saturn return currently. And it's definitely my first one.

27:19 Oh yeah they can't tell you something. Why are you laughing? I don't know. Because I listen to an episode in which you shared your birth day so I should have remembered you were a Gemini but I did the math and I was like oh he's in a second side of return so I was going to actually ask you about that on my show so be sure to listen. Oh gosh is a tune in to the spiritual sisters podcast in order to listen to to hear that that's kind of thing it's going to be curious yes I was going to ask you what's in store for me but you probably couldn't do that without really seeing the chart right the full chart to be able to. What is your Saturn and Pisces or Aries? I don't know. Well I'll look at your I'm happy to look at your chart after this. If I were to see or just even know which house it was in I could probably give you an idea of what is coming up in the store. But you're almost done with it though so. Okay well yeah.

28:10 What is a house? What does that mean? We need to take a quick pause but we'll be right back right up to these messages. Hey there it's Will the main reason we do this show is to help others in their spiritual awakening and nothing makes us happier than to hear or read messages from those that are resonating with the messages we're sharing on the show.

Well that's going to help us craft the very best show we can so that we can help raise the vibration of the planet together. Okay I've kept you from the interview long enough so let's get to it. Thanks for listening. What is a house? What does that mean? Yeah so it has a wall for walls of truth. So in a chart it's if you're looking at a chart it has 300 and 60 degrees it looks like a circle it's quite literally a clock and it's almost like the chart is divided up into 12 pieces of a pie and think of the earth of like being the middle of that like piece of the pie if you will and the houses so one through 12 essentially represent different areas of life and quite literally everything is like

29:40 that you can think of falls into a chart like small animals, grandparents, contracts, relationships to the divine, relationships to your parents, how you work with groups of people like everything falls into in some way a house in a birth chart. Oh so how can you how can you how can we how can all humanity deal with the fact we we say to ourselves all the time that we have free will yeah and yet it sounds like the stars are already spoken for everything that happens to us yeah because it's in our chart how do we reconcile that? Yeah still dancing with that one too you know I think some things are faded I think some things are just gonna happen for you and I'm just like yeah like what's I don't have an answer for that and I feel like I have even less of an answer than I would have had even two years ago after going through my intense shadow work that was 2025 I I think there is some free will involved but I feel like if what's meant for you is meant for you what's going to happen is going to happen you can't avoid it and I feel like your chart gives you a good peek of boot for that can you give you like signpost saying trouble ahead this way instead? Yeah I think so I feel like that's a good focal point that I like to you hone in on for transit readings okay how predictive can your chart be like how accurate for something is it like a general idea or can be like this is gonna happen on this day yeah where raincoat tomorrow yeah I think it's both I

31:13 feel like it can be very general I think it could be very specific I feel like that I think there's two parts to that I think that that is dependent on what whoever you are reading for is ready to receive and to hear and I feel like on the other end from the astrologer standpoint then two to standpoint it is reflective of how much they've studied and how much time in the game they have to be able to relate that specificity or just general message as well and so how specific are you okay I think it's dependent on who I'm reading for and how much they're ready to receive it so it's my fault I see how it is okay I can get pretty specific I actually just got a really cool note from a client I've been working with for years at this point and you know she had gone through some challenges in her union and her marriage and I was like listen like there's a spear baby around you specifically I don't do gender but it feels like it's a girl and it feels like she really wants to come through and she messaged me and it brought me to tears and she's like I I just wanted to let you know our daughter was born on so and so day and I'm just so grateful for you and you know I'll never forget your path in my journey I could tear up now like the cancer that I am and so I can get pretty specific if you're looking for it wow is that through astrology is that through your other intuitive gifts both but right now if I had to choose between one I would say my intuition you and I we're gonna talk Gabrielle is there is it possible to misuse

32:48 misuse astrology yeah oh for sure you know I don't want to talk smack about you know some of the grifters in this space because I don't know if that's like ethical or paints with me in a great light but I mean I don't really care but yeah there's a lot of people in this space that have bypassed that don't do their work their shadow work and for me I feel like if you're holding space for for people you better be looking at your shadow and sitting with your own crap and yeah I definitely feel that's tried and she was talking with my girlfriend and she's more psychic than I am she's a proper medium I've studied mediumship and I've dabbled in that but I would say it comes more naturally to her because that's part of what she's meant to do in this lifetime and she was talking with a colleague in her nine to five job and you know he was relating to her like I you know I want to get into human design because there's money to be made in that space and I was just thinking oh wow yeah she's hearing that hurt my heart yeah yeah and I just I was just thinking I was like I've been so humbled by this work and it's provided me with light when I didn't have it and I had no other guidance to rely on and it's hard to find that within yourself when you go into your own personal challenges and I would say that that's just completely unethical for people to be doing it for the dollar.

34:07 Right. Yeah absolutely. Let me clarify something here because I think it's important making money in itself is not a bad thing. No not at all. In the folks in this space should be able to make a living doing what they love to do whatever their passion is but the key there is it's their passion right it is a it is a a want to help others by utilizing certain tools that they are being called to in order to move that forward and if you have the best of intentions to help people with this tool that you have gotten really good at that is when the universal provide you that money that you need to survive so we're not saying that anyone who charges money is bad that's not what we're saying that's not what we're saying either but if you're doing it just because that's the main motivation.

34:56 Yeah I want to make money and there's a lot of people that are going to be able to swindle one that swindle even but you know I'm going to take their money because I'm going to learn how to do human design your motivation is not in the right place and that's a problem that's a problem. Absolutely. Yeah I agree. So getting back to this strategy. Oh. So when you look at this back in the day is how old I am you know the magazines like Cosmo which back then is Cosmo Politan magazine or other magazines and they would have like a page in your monthly astrology and it'd be like this month you know you better not do any deals or now is the perfect time to buy the house or you know whatever are those even from because it would be for all cancers or all areas or all Pisces you know this state to this state you know watch out someone's talking behind your back or something like how accurate are those at all.

35:43 I mean I think it's general and I think that those were if I'm remembering this specific text that I read that honed in on horoscopes especially when they were popular in magazines and I co-caught I think in the 70s and I feel like they based it if my memory serves me right on Sun sign and it goes back to why the the rising sign is so important because the rising sign is what kicks off the specific houses in your chart and you're going to be able to get more dialed in on exactly how that specific astrological season and the other transits are affecting you at that time. Speeing of Cosmo. You remember what GQ's stand stood for because Cosmo was really gentleman's quarter.

36:27 There you go you got it yeah nice job nice job yeah we are totally dating ourselves now sorry Gabriel but we were going to the store in our magazines yeah like junior form was really good at the time. Any forming cursive. So Gabriel question that's been nagging at me because for reasons if someone doesn't truly buy into astrology like there's like okay is it still going to work for them or is it still going to affect them or do you have to have a belief system in it for it to work. I think it's a little bit of that I also think that it relates maybe back to that specific person's consciousness at that time and how much they maybe have or haven't expanded and I feel this is not to call anyone out this is just my general observation as a seer is that I usually see that you know there's a lot of ego death and ego involved for people to maybe not be as open as they could be but and that's not to hate I just think that also here let me actually I like to cave caveat to that not everyone signed up to be conscious in this lifetime so I feel like the people that it's meant to speak to it will speak to and you know gotcha yeah it goes by along with new reality yeah different paths exactly and people and also resonate you know I have this theory mm hmm yes I have this you know I do I have this theory you know how you when you're born your astrology is the picture

38:03 of the map in the sky the moment you were born but then there's also numerology and there's also human design there's also all these different things have you go down they're all eerily good at kind of outline who you are as a person if if you go into that kind of stuff right I feel that we go through as we're being born the moment of our birth we are surrounded by different layers of quantum energy that impacts us and each layer is one of these tools here's your astrology layer here's human design layer here's your one and so only by taking all of it as a whole will you be able to truly know who you are it's a theory yeah it's a bad theory but there are no bad theories well maybe there are but not down oh well you don't think it's bad don't not work though but we are quantum beings right yes I'm just saying is there anything astrology can't predict or can't tell you about I don't know there's anything it can't but I will tell you what I don't double in that I know some other astrologers specifically be able to get very specific with and that is the concept of physical death but I I don't know to be honest but I know one thing I avoid and

39:37 that's specifically that because I don't think if it's in my ethical code of conduct personally speaking wait a second you could potentially tell me when I'm going to die I mean not me I'm not a Vedic astrologer but the chart can oh I'm running away from that fast like yeah no I don't know I don't need to know I want to be surprised yeah wow I know that I didn't know I didn't know that was that that's specific yeah and I also then they're I think about it too and I'm like okay well like and this honestly I feel like the spiritual path can make you crazy because then my the other place that my brain goes it's like well like doesn't the soul have like the higher hand and the ultimate choice to do this so it's like so I don't know if you know this but more car accidents tend to happen and more deaths tend to happen around eclipses because they're exit points right there certain types of portals so I wonder I'm like well does it mean that like the soul sees like an exit point and it's like time to go like mission not accomplished so yeah I go back and forth and I think about these types of existential questions all the time oh yeah you bring up a point of a walk-in that we still need to find one of that that's a walk-in to talk to but a walk-in oh yeah walk-in is fine no okay oh wow a walk-in is someone who suddenly wakes up one day and feels like they're a different person like a soul has taken a place of a of another person's soul yeah and I just have another story show with someone who was a walk-in who explained the whole process and how

41:09 she suddenly she got up out of bed and her feet felt strange on the carpet and things like that and it was because the soul that was in the herding her body at that time had had enough and said I'm out of here so they brought this and someone else in there to take the place something on those lines so interesting yeah maybe you can you share that episode I need to listen I will I'll find it I'll say it over to you so if you have your chart and you have these kind of guidelines of things that you I guess kind of predetermined predestined pathways you get this information and you decide to go against it can you go against it or the universe ultimately block that and keep you on that path it's like time travel like no matter what you do time travel is going to make you have make this thing happen no matter what you do yeah I wonder about that too and where my brain's going with this one is I wonder if it's easier to maybe subvert a certain type of path depending on how conscious or unconscious you are what I've noticed is those who become very conscious and expanded in their awareness and their relationship to source consciousness it's not as easy for them to do that because they know better whereas those who aren't awake per se it's kind of you know I don't know if they would know the difference interesting yeah it's a lot to think about it is I see a wheel

42:41 turning oh yeah I know so has there ever been a time where you mentioned earlier that it really depends on how open someone is to receive certain type of information but you plainly see something in someone's chart or your intuitive senses are plainly telling you something yeah and no matter what you say the person is just not accepting it or doesn't or feel as that's not me at all how do you handle something like that so I have given myself permission when someone books with me and they're seeking my type of feedback information intuition that I say whatever's coming up in reading is fair game however I think I'll deliver it a little bit differently I'll be like and I can typically feel like resistance and to us to whether or not they're even interested or ready to hear that and I would probably color it like hey just so you know like I could see something coming up in the next three months that relates to this area of life just put a pit in that and think about about this come back to this reading as needed and it kind of plants the seed because you know I see the energy for that specific area of life like career for example really coming into focus and nine times out of 10 I usually have my clients come back and be like hey you had mentioned this and actually this and this happened so I think a lot of that for me comes back to delivery but you know before I was doing this work for payment I read free for a year I've been in my

44:14 business for in April of 2026 it'll be four years I got a lot of resistance and specifically it was resistance from male male consciousness men in general which I think is like my own thing I'm working through in this lifetime particularly and for me it was a full on test to just be like trust which you're getting standing your authenticity you're powering your truth and keep it moving and I'm so glad that I did and so I treat you know I think every reading based off of like it's definitely tailored to whoever I'm reading for I'll say that so on your on your website you have a place where people can go and take a look at what's coming up this year overall in general right yeah yeah that's what you to give away everything but is there something that's really sticking out that you want to make sure everyone who's listening or watching knows to be prepared for oh boy yeah so I so at time of recording it's January so I will share the big months of this year so February of 2026 and August of 2026 those are eclipse months and we're wrapping up the whole Virgo Pisces axis which Virgo Pisces and Scorpio tend to have really challenging karma and for me I read that as like the axis of ending since Pisces is the twelfth sign Virgo's is six and it's right in the middle so it's kind of a flavor of like really shedding and letting go like whatever is no longer serving you and ironically enough the first eclipse happens this year on the 17th

45:48 of February which is a lunar eclipse actually and it's the Chinese New Year so that whole week from the 13th to like the 20th is so jam packed especially in the constellation as of areas as well because Saturn and Neptune are moving into that sign and we've not seen that specific transit since the 1800s and that transit alongside the one that's coming at the end of April April 25th I believe Uranus you're honest depending on how you say it go see it's another way boy yeah yeah I was hoping you pick up on that yeah it's going into Gemini for about eight years and so those two transit Saturn and Neptune and Arise and Uranus and Gemini have historically been associated with civil and world war two so I think we're gonna see a lot of tension in the collective oh yeah so that's coming forth but it's not all bad because collectively speaking you know the United States is wrapping up its Pluto return which happens about every 250 years so usually when that happens empires metaphorically speaking fall so I think we're gonna see a lot of change in the collective but what I've been seeing personally for I've done it since then I'm so blessed to be able to say this I've done somewhere of like upwards of like close to 60 readings in the last two months I've really seen yeah like so many people have had are going to have a really phenomenal 2026 and I think it's because 2025 was predominantly the Chinese year of the snake so lots of shedding and then the fire horse is like a lot of

47:20 fast-paced energy it's new it's creative it's resourced and I think everyone is going to feel 2026 a little bit differently but it's I think overall gonna be a great year and then the final two transit I want to speak to are October and November of this year as well and we're going to be having a Venus and Mercury retrograde and Scorpio and Venus retrogrades in the same sign every eight years and so I kindly suggest for everyone to reflect back to October and November of 2018 to see which themes were coming up for them around that period of time because they could be seeing those themes be paralleled as well as maybe like closing up a chapter that began around that time so it's a big one remember something I don't remember yesterday much that's 2018 forgot to say so well I feel intuitively it's interesting and we can talk about this after but I feel like you'll have a good year closing up that's out of return yes awesome awesome but going back to the civil unrest stuff you talking about the that week of february is the is the one that we need to be conscious of yeah and I'm not saying like something like we're going to war that day or anything like that that week it just pay attention to the energy how you're feeling around that time because it's a cosmically potent portal with the multiple transits we're having so look should we just stay in bed that week well it is february 13 to the 17th right so for all you lovers out there hey perfect time to stay in bed I would definitely suggest to schedule lightly

48:50 we're going to DC that week oh my god that's the concert that's the concert and to DC oh my god we're gonna be in DC I know that'll be interesting boy Gabrielle you just that's that's that's a problem you'll be good you'll be good you'll be good all right all right all right our daughter is like just loving kpop and this band's coming to DC so which okay I just got on the kpop game I want to kpop haircut I am obsessed oh we're we have to do she didn't our daughter then she went saw straight kids last summer and she's seeing twice okay and she's seen twice in DC in february yeah so so you're with it because you know you have a Gen Z daughter I'm gonna assume she's she's 15 so she's done should Gen A right or she's there's something there's it looks like another term isn't there I don't know if that's not Gen something she's like right in the costume something yeah yeah we were well that's really cool yeah she's one of those news new gins all right so that's that's not scary at all but we'll get on with the interview Gabrielle if you could ban one astrological term forever oh what would that be oh my gosh oh something just rubs you so wrong every time someone says it and I've talked to you okay they talk about and maybe it's because I've actively not educated myself on it purposely because I'm like no no no it's gonna like mess up my my understanding of the work and I can't go there right now with where

50:22 I was what I have on my plate but a lot of people talk about the 13th sign in the zodiac and I'm like is this legit is this not I don't know like this information says that so it's like it for sure it's like we do between scorpio and something else right it's something like that geez we talked to uh that sideereal astrologer about it and he told us about that 13th sign it was a long time ago yeah but anyway yes I know what you're talking about okay how do you how do you remember those things yet I'll say it's trash day honey because in like the next half hour because I only remember the important stuff okay we're getting uh sure on time so I want to make sure I get this last question in before we wrap it up what is one signal that people can watch for that tells them that they're resisting alignment not actually lacking it resisting it okay definitely tuning into the physical body because I feel like you're gonna ultimately know how you feel and coming back to and I just have my shaman in the back of my mind like being now moment focused present moment focused and really like sorting through okay you're being presented with like a choice decision of some sort how do you feel within your body because I do believe your body is your greatest divination tool to and how can that inform you moving forward whether or not you are or are not in alignment okay all right well other than the fact that the country's going to fall in 20 days the next we're gonna have some sort of civil war in
