When In White

Let’s make astrology feel less confusing and more relatable. We're unpacking our Big 3 — Sun, Rising, and Moon — and what they reveal about how we show up, love, feel, and create. From emotional depth to bold presence and visionary energy, this episode is a gentle invitation to understand your own cosmic blueprint with more compassion.

Why do we feel the need to justify our no unless it sounds “serious enough”?

Hint: it’s whoever you’re most excited to work with — not whoever tradition says.
