You can use astrology for magical purposes....yes, SPELLWORK! With Jupiter in Cancer, I thought there was no better time than to bring up the topic of astrological magic. Because if you're going to start invoking the planets to help you in life: the time is now in 2026. After chatting with expert magical talisman creator, Christopher Warnock on Cosmic Compass, I'm now sharing in a solo podcast chat my personal experience using astrological magic.

In this solo podcast chat, I talk about the first three magical talismans I got myself: first, a Mercury talisman, then Jupiter and finally the Sun.

I share why I picked them out, in that order, what I use them for and how I invoke the planets to connect and support me in daily life. I also share the results and external/internal shifts I've experienced since starting to use them in 2025. In another future episode, I'll be sharing how I use planetary magic and my black agate Algol talisman for protection and blocking negative energies in my life and business - because if you're going to be massively seen, watched and well-known in your industry, you need to protect yourself. The results have been incredible.

2026 is the year you take your power back. Click here to reconnect with your inner magic for your best year yet.

Welcome back to the show!

A birth chart shows you more than just personality traits, it shows you your life story, your natal promise. In this episode, I'm getting on the mic in Thailand and sharing with you how I've used astrology in my life to pivot, change course, redirect my energies and not shame myself over some of my more challenging astrological placements.

When I started using my birth chart intentionally and started leaning on certain aspects and configuartions to guide my course, that's when a lot of my success and more ease (and fun!) started to flow in my life. Life started feeling more effortless, less stagnant.

Knowing your birth chart can help you remember who you are: your strengths, your talents, your weaknesses. It also shows you your callings, passions and purpose.
