In this episode, I am in dialogue with international consciousness guide and soul astrologer Danielle Paige about destiny, free will, and soul contracts, and what it really means to rise above the stars. Danielle shares her age 30 awakening, why real astrology is not about predictions, and how discernment and nervous system safety support embodied intuition. She also offers a mini reading from my chart, highlighting New Moon initiation energy and the Pisces to Virgo path of intuition evolving into clarity.
In this episode
• Destiny, vocation, and soul contracts, plus where choice lives inside the transits
• Why real astrology is pattern recognition and timing, not fear based prediction
• Discernment, boundaries, and intuition without rescuing or martyring
• Nervous system safety, embodiment, and the daily practices that change your life
• Mini chart reading highlights: New Moon energy, Pisces South Node to Virgo North Node, and voice as a soul level assignment
