MAGICK || MUNDANE

This episode is one of my favorite feasts! Flavor palette: Goddamn human. I sat down - actually, at first we sat, but eventually we were seduced to the ground, to lay on the floor - with Lawrence Mack, manifesting gentleman. As our bodies softened into the hard floor, our minds bloomed into the hilarity of our deconditioning dances, the spoken soul-pacts we make with not-yet-embodied wisdoms, the...

This episode of Magick in the Mundane explores the Cancerian New Moon on July 5th, which occurs in the root-center Gate of Provocation . This trickster energy is that of the Cosmic Instigator ; it knows which buttons to push & pushes! them. But, provocation is an invitation to practice moving ourselves out of victim consciousness ( which seems to be a habituated reaction for most of us ) into...

After months of building life force, we celebrate the Sun passing through Summer Solstice Gate 15, of Extremes, a Cancerian Gate that brings us to the highest-of-high peak of the cycle: Climax Season. We have arrived. Meanwhile the Earth & Moon, full in its lunation, sit in the Gate 10, Treading on the Tail of the Tiger, aka thee Gate of Individual Behavior. This episode unpacks the G-Center&#...

This episode of Under the Influence weaves wild cosmic threads between : 1. Jupiter , the planet of increasing awareness, intuition & sometimes exaggeration, entering Gemini through the breath-centric Gate of the Now. 2. The nodal shift of North Node into the Aries, heart-gate 21, Biting Through, which invites us to learn how to influence our environment through electrical intention, rather th...

Tessa Frommer of Social Alchemy Institute brings her buzzing sacral & human design study into a casual, detailed conversation. Is there anything easier to enjoy than an intimate conversation? I don't think so! Tessa & I share how Human Design has empowered us in relationships, and in life at large. We revel in our uniqueness, comparing & contrasting the energies available to us as diff...

This episode is Part 1 of what "should" have been the first episodes of Under The Influence. I learn as I go & what I've been learning from your feedback ((thank you!)) is that we need some structures for better flow. What you'll find here is the zoomed out lens that dials you into the (secret!) understanding of what Human Design does in your life. It's actual function. S...

The player adapts to the game & the game adapts to the player. Player & Game. These energies are one in the same. This Scorpio Full Moon in the Human Design gate 28 of The Game Player, squares Pluto, fresh after arrival into the gate 41 of Holy Anticipation, where it will be until 2028. The sun in Taurus-ruled gate 27 of Nourishment also squares Pluto, adding a healthy dose of vital life f...

In this episode of Magick in the Mundane , I am lucky enough to converse about all things microdosing, psilocybin & magic mushrooms with Sara A. Knight, LMHC . After sharing the threads of our personal interconnection, we begin our conversation about magic mushrooms with a lovingly critical eye on the potentially mis-leading headlines touting mega-dosing as the quick-fix "magic bullet".  Integ...

Once again, it’s Eclipse Season. The tensions are high regarding Self & Other. When the North Node entered into Aries on July 17th 2023, we became aware it was time to learn how to stay true to what is true for us as individuals, aka how to decondition & return to True Self through the lens of Human Design.  This collective evolutionary assignment has brought into our awareness all the pla...

Since 2021, Neptune has been transiting through the Gate 36 of Crisis. This Piscean archetype brings us face to face with our humanity by way of our emotional experience. This is an expectation versus reality dance. It reminds us that embodiment is the bridge between imagined expectations & what actually unfolds. This past week the Sun met Neptune in the Gate 36, inviting us to see how we'...

In this episode of Magick in the Mundane’s Under the Influence we unpack the Pisces New Moon invitation with precision. What invitation you ask? An invitation to harness the unrelenting water-power of fluid, ever-changing emotion, more intelligently. How? The transiting Moon will demonstrate the involutionary process of Grace (22) & Transmutation (47) as it briefly conjuncts Pluto, Mars &...

Full Moon in the Gate of Sexuality, anyone? Yes, that is exactly what's up for this episode of Under the Influence. We deep dive into the Piscean waters of the Human Design Gate 55, of Spirit, then deconstruct the themes of its opposition: The Virgoan Gate 59 of Sexuality, which the Full Moon on February 24th will illuminate Because these are the primary themes of the coming 2027 Solar Plexus...

Under the Influence explores how the astrological above influences the earthly below through the lens of Human Design. In this episode we unpack the themes that the Sun & Earth will continue to transit through for the remainder of Aquarius Season, until February 18th. Then, we observe the archetype of February 9th's New Moon in the Aquarian Gate 49, the gate of Revolution. We reflect on th...

In this episode of Magick in the Mundane’s exploration of the planetary transits, Under the Influence , we get intimate with Pluto. We unpack the Underworld god's Destruction-Creation cycles as a means to lure the collective toward much-needed change, while simultaneously bringing the individual through the temporary hell of transformation. Through hell, toward empowerment. As it's said, &...

Under The Influence explores the planetary transits through the lens of Human Design for January 25th, 2024 & the Full Moon in Leo. We lay the foundation for the nodal configuration, which influences our energetic environment. For many, the North Node transit of the Gate 51 is shocking us into Initiation by way of the 25-51 Channel. We explore this at depth. Then, we unpack the themes of the S...

Reality is what it is. That is, until we realize we always have a choice. Choice connects us to the magick of this mundane plane we call "reality". This episode explores magick,  “the science and art of causing change to occur in accordance with one’s will" , by way of a vivid parable passed to Alyssa from her Father. This parable conveys how, with the practice of choice - of intent...
