In this episode, we explore creativity as channeling, the physical body as a portal back into presence, and how the breadcrumbs of childhood, our earliest intuitive callings, shape the path we eventually walk. We talk about Leo season and creative expansion, the Saturn return as an initiation into self, and what it means to build a life and a body of work around trust, intuition, and letting go of a fixed process.

On this episode of Current Wave, I’m joined by musician, producer, and multi-hyphenate creative Sachi Sato (@moulinbouje).

We trace her path from growing up on tour with her jazz musician father, to years of classical piano training, to finding her own voice as a songwriter after a difficult adolescence, to now producing and writing her own music, shooting photography, reading astrology and tarot, and founding Sister Service, a community space for women and non-binary folks she’s built across London, New York, and LA. We talk about what it means to create as a vessel, letting a melody or an idea move through you rather than forcing it into being, and why that channeling requires real trust, both in yourself and in whoever you’re creating alongside.

We also go deep into the body: how weightlifting and physical movement have become as central to Sachi’s creative process as any instrument, and how coming home to the physical form, especially as a woman, can be its own kind of reclamation. And we talk honestly about the harder side of creative life: ADHD, emotional intensity, creative blocks, and what it actually takes to keep listening to yourself when the world isn’t built for it.

In this episode, we cover:

🦁 Leo season and creative expansion: tapping into self-expression, luck, and shine 💪 The body as portal: weightlifting, movement, and reclaiming the physical self 🎵 From classical piano to channeled songwriting: finding her own creative voice 🌙 Creativity as channeling: letting the work move through you, not from you 🔮 Astrology and tarot as tools for reflection, not answers 🪐 The Saturn return as initiation: surrendering to what’s being torn down and rebuilt 🌑 Lilith and Chiron: looking at the shamed and wounded places as sites of real power 🏘️ Sister Service: building community and belonging across three cities 🧠 Creative blocks, ADHD, and emotional intensity as part of the creative terrain 🚶‍♀️ Voice memo walks and cutting the noise: simple practices for accessing flow

This episode is for you if you’re drawn to creativity as a spiritual practice, astrology, embodiment, and building a life around intuition rather than a fixed plan. Whether you’re an artist looking to trust your own process more, or just someone trying to hear your own voice above the noise, you’ll leave with real, grounded language for what that actually takes.
