You’ll also learn how to better support the people you love by understanding their stress style because, when everyone’s nervous systems are speaking different languages, compassion and clarity make all the difference.What You'll Discover:Why stress shows up differently for every rising sign.The fight, flight, freeze, and fawn patterns tied to each element.How fire signs channel restlessness into movement.What causes earth signs to freeze under pressure.Why air signs spiral into overthinking and how connection helps regulate them.How water signs absorb emotions and the role of strong boundaries.Simple, practical tools for managing stress in your chart (and your relationships).Featured on the Show:Check out Sarah’s conversation with Astrology by Celeste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb2RhOuPcSwVisit for more information: https://cosmicgroupchat.com/Come join the chat @CosmicGroupChatPod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cosmicgroupchatpod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cosmicgroupchatpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CosmicGroupChatMentioned in this episode:Join my newsletter: Cosmic CapacityEvery week, I send out Cosmic Capacity: my astrology newsletter that gives you rising sign horoscopes, breaks down the key transits, and offers simple tips for you to stay grounded and intentional, no matter what life throws your way.

Every chart has a CEO, and you might not even know who’s running the show.

Some rulers move fast and switch things up all the time, while others hang out for years and bring a much steadier vibe.By the end, you’ll know exactly where your chart ruler lives in your chart, how it flavors your life, and how to work with its cycles instead of feeling like things are happening to you out of nowhere.What You'll Discover:How to figure out your chart ruler based on your rising sign.Which rulers move quickly and which stick around for years.How to find your chart ruler in your birth chart.Ways your chart ruler’s transits flavor different seasons of your life.Simple ways to keep tabs on your chart ruler’s movement.Featured on the Show:Ep #9: Annual Profections: The 12-Year Cycles Shaping Your LifeVisit for more information: http://cosmicgroupchat.com/Come join the chat @CosmicGroupChatPod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cosmicgroupchatpod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cosmicgroupchatpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CosmicGroupChatMentioned in this episode:Get Your FREE Planning Guide: 12th House Moon DaysThis is a simple rising sign based 12H moon guide to help you prep for your low-capacity days each month.

Ever pulled up your birth chart, read your sun sign description, and thought… “Wait, this doesn’t sound like me at all?” You’re not wrong. That missing piece is probably the houses — the part of astrology that shows where all your planetary energy is actually showing up in your life.In this episode, we’re walking you through all 12 astrological houses and comparing each one to a room in your home (plus one bonus billboard analogy we couldn’t resist). Think of it like a house tour for your chart. Your planets are the “what,” your signs are the “how,” and the houses are the “where.” Once you understand which houses your placements live in, astrology stops feeling generic and starts feeling like you.We’ll break down what each house represents — from identity and relationships to career, creativity, and spirituality — and share personal stories from our own charts along the way. Whether you’ve got planets stacked in one house or some rooms sitting empty, this episode will help you see why your chart tells a story that’s uniquely yours.What You'll Discover:Why your rising sign kicks off your first house and sets the vibe for your whole chart.How the same planet in different houses can completely shift your life experience.Why empty houses aren’t as empty as they seem, and how their ruling signs influence them.What each of the 12 houses represents.Why your house placements matter more than you think in making astrology relatable.Featured on the Show:Ep #6: The 12th House Isn’t a Curse… It’s a Check-InVisit for more information: http://cosmicgroupchat.com/Come join the chat @CosmicGroupChatPod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cosmicgroupchatpod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cosmicgroupchatpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CosmicGroupChatMentioned in this episode:Get Your FREE Planning Guide: 12th House Moon DaysThis is a simple rising sign based 12H moon guide to help you prep for your low-capacity days each month.
