Stellar Sisters Podcast

In this episode of Stellar Sisters, we welcome a very special guest—Sydney’s aunt, Kelly Brown—an artist, energy practitioner, and lifelong seeker of the deeper mysteries of life. Kelly shares her journey from early spiritual curiosity to living in France for 15 years, where her artistic and energetic gifts began to fully awaken. Through experiences with Qigong, Reiki, sacred geometry, and profound personal encounters with energy and consciousness, she offers a unique perspective on the unseen forces that shape our reality. We dive into topics like synchronicity, precognition, psychic phenomena, how light could be changing and the idea that we are all deeply connected through an energetic field of information. Kelly also shares powerful personal stories—from intuitive experiences in childhood to moments of awakening that changed the course of her life. This episode is an invitation to stay curious, trust your intuition, and explore your own connection to the mystery of life.

In this episode of the Stellar Sisters Podcast, Sydney and Shaniel explore the mechanics of communication through both Human Design and Astrology. They break down the Throat Center, the hub of expression and manifestation in the Human Design body graph, and explain how understanding your design can help you communicate more authentically. Sydney walks through the differences between defined and undefined throat centers, the gifts of the 11 throat gates, and how various channels influence how we express ourselves. The conversation includes real chart examples, including their own designs and well-known public figures, to illustrate how different energetic configurations shape communication styles. Shaniel then brings in the Astrology perspective, exploring Mercury, the planet of communication, and the third house, which governs how we process information and share ideas. She also discusses how Mercury’s sign, house placement, and aspects influence how we learn, speak, and express ourselves. Along the way, they reflect on the collective pressure to speak up in today’s world and why understanding your energetic blueprint can help you use your voice in a way that feels authentic, aligned, and true to you.

We’re officially stepping into another eclipse portal and this one is big. In this episode of Stellar Sisters, we break down the upcoming Aquarius solar eclipse (February 17) and Virgo lunar eclipse (March 3), and what they’re activating both personally and collectively. This eclipse season opens an entirely new chapter with our first eclipse in Aquarius, while also closing out a long Virgo cycle we’ve been navigating since 2024/2025. We also zoom out to explore the larger astrological backdrop shaping this moment, including Saturn and Neptune entering Aries, the feeling of collective disorientation, grief, and initiation into a new era. Along the way, we weave in real-life examples (yes, including football astrology), parenting through Mars returns, Pluto in Aquarius themes, and Human Design insights connected to Gate 41 and Gate 30. We wrap the episode with horoscopes for all rising signs, so listen for your rising sign to understand exactly where this eclipse portal is asking you to release, recalibrate, and begin again. Timestamps for horoscopes: - Aries - 41:30 - Taurus - 44:35 - Gemini - 47:00 - Cancer - 49:48 - Leo - 52:22 - Virgo - 55:22 - Libra - 58:22 - Scorpio - 1:01:25 - Sagittarius - 1:04:18 - Capricorn - 1:07:25 - Aquarius - 1:09:52 - Pisces - 1:13:44 This episode is equal parts cosmic context, grounded reflection, and practical guidance for navigating a powerful threshold moment.

February 2026 is a major turning point in the year and a threshold moment we haven’t experienced in over a century. In this episode of Stellar Sisters, we break down the astrology of February 2026, a month marked by the historic shift of Neptune and Saturn into Aries, the beginning of a powerful eclipse portal, and the energetic transition from a long Piscean era into a bold new cycle of action, courage, and initiation. We begin by reflecting on where we’ve been — nearly 15 years of Neptune in Pisces and the last three years of Saturn in Pisces — exploring themes of spirituality, emotional burnout, compassion fatigue, mental health, boundaries, and the sobering lessons that came with them. Sydney and Shaniel share personal stories of how Saturn in Pisces played out in their own charts, offering grounded, real-life examples of how these transits can manifest. From there, we look ahead to what’s unfolding now: ✨ Neptune entering Aries for the first time in 165 years ✨ Saturn entering Aries and forming a rare conjunction with Neptune at 0° Aries ✨ A Solar Eclipse in Aquarius activating Pluto’s new era ✨ A Lunar Eclipse in Virgo asking us to rebuild through practical, daily change This episode is about moving from feeling to doing, from waiting to be rescued to taking responsibility for our lives, dreams, and desires. It’s about understanding where a chapter is closing and where a brand-new one is being born in your chart. If you’ve been feeling burnt out, disillusioned, or unsure of what comes next, this conversation offers context, clarity, and a grounded way to work with the astrology instead of feeling swept up by it.

In this episode, we explore the Human Design New Year and how an energetic reset begins when the Sun moves into Gate 41, the Gate of Contraction and the starting codon in Human Design. We talk about how desire and emotion initiate new experiences, and why it is completely okay if clarity, goals, or resolutions have not fully landed yet. A new cycle does not begin overnight but rather it unfolds in layers. We also dive into the Lunar New Year and the transition from the Year of the Snake into the Year of the Horse, highlighting the shift from deep internal processing to movement, courage, and aligned action. Alongside this, we explore 2026 through the lens of numerology as a One Year, which is a year of beginnings, fresh starts, creativity, and quantum leaps. Blending Human Design, Astrology, Lunar cycles, and numerology, this episode offers a grounded perspective on how to move with the timing of 2026 rather than rushing ahead of it.

In this episode, we start with a check-in on the current Mercury retrograde, continuing the conversation from our last episode. We share a few things we’ve both been noticing, experiencing, and reflecting on during this retrograde cycle, the patterns we’re seeing collectively, and how this particular transit is showing up in real time for us. From there, we shift into the main topic: your Diet or Determination in Human Design. This is about how your body is designed to digest food, information, experiences, and life itself. We explore the top left arrow in the bodygraph, what it reveals about your digestion style, and the difference between a left-facing (active) and right-facing (receptive) digestion. Then we walk through all six Human Design diets: Appetite, Taste, Thirst, Touch, Sound, and Light. We break down each diet and what it means to have a left vs. right arrow for each. Whether you’re someone who thrives on routine, needs variety, prefers quiet meals, or feels best in buzzy spaces, these Determinations illuminate why your digestion works the way it does and how honoring it can bring more ease into your life. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by PHS or confused about the “Human Design diets,” this episode breaks everything down in a gentle, grounded, and accessible way. Consider this your supportive guide to reconnecting with the way your body is designed to take in the world. Resources: Create Your Free Charts Book A Reading With Us www.stellarsisterspodcast.com

In this episode of Stellar Sisters, we’re diving into the final Mercury Retrograde of 2025, which moves through both Sagittarius and Scorpio. We cover: What Mercury Retrograde really means (and why it’s not all chaos) The pre- and post-shadow periods and how they subtly shape the retrograde experience Why this cycle brings opportunities for review, reflection, and resolution What is means for Mercury to Retrograde in Scorpio and Sagittarius Mercury’s station direct in Gate 43 (Insight) and what that means in Human Design Key dates and do’s & don’ts during this cycle — especially around Thanksgiving and Black Friday How the Scorpio New Moon + Mercury Cazimi bring clarity and renewal in the midst of retrograde The influence of Gate 14 where the Sun and Moon meet during the New Moon And how Uranus’ last dip into Taurus opposes the New Moon, shaking up comfort zones one final time before it settles into Gemini This conversation is your cosmic invitation to slow down, reset your nervous system, and trust that clarity is coming even if things feel foggy in the moment.

As the Sun moves through Libra and Scorpio season, it also travels through all seven gates of the Spleen which is the center of instinct, intuition, and survival. This is a deeply transformative passage that mirrors the darker half of the year, when light fades and we turn inward. In this episode, we explore: 🌒 The duality of Libra and Scorpio — balance and transformation, ego and soul. 🌿 The Spleen Center in Human Design — what it means to have it defined or undefined. 🔮 The seven splenic gates — their core fears and intuitive gifts. 🜂 How this season invites us to release fear, trust our instincts, and reconnect with our body’s wisdom. It’s a journey of shedding what’s not aligned, reclaiming inner trust, and moving from self to soul in the same way as nature descends into the dark to find renewal.

A major collective shift is underway! Uranus has officially left Taurus and entered Gemini for the first time since the 1940s. In this episode, we unpack what this 7-year transit means for us individually and collectively, and why it marks a turning point in the "Age of Air." We reflect on the lessons of Uranus in Taurus, share personal stories from our own charts, and explore the meaning of Uranus as the planet of disruption, awakening, and radical change. With all three outer planets now in air and fire signs, the energy is speeding up and we're being asked to think, speak, and connect in completely new ways.
