Your Chart Is a Soul Map: Evolutionary Astrology, Grief & the Stories We Carry with Julianne Guinasso
2w ago01:04:48Tap to summarizeWhat if your birth chart wasn't just a personality profile — but the story your soul wrote before this lifetime began? This week, Bethany sits down with Julianne Guinasso, licensed marriage and family therapist, grief specialist, and evolutionary astrologer, to explore exactly that.Julianne reads charts as a map of your soul's journey — weaving intuition with a trauma-informed lens to honor the full, interconnected picture of who you are and why you're here. In this conversation, they get into what evolutionary astrology actually is, how it differs from traditional astrology, and what it means to read your chart as a record of past lives and soul contracts.They also have a beautiful, grounding conversation about grief — not just the kind tied to loss, but the quieter grief so many of us carry: identity shifts, life transitions, and the gap between the life we imagined and the one we're living.If you've ever felt like your chart was trying to tell you something deeper, this one's for you.Topics covered:What evolutionary astrology is and how it worksReading your birth chart as a soul mapPast lives, guides, and what you came here to rememberThe intersection of therapy and astrologyEveryday grief: identity shifts, life changes & unmet expectationsA trauma-informed, non-bypassing approach to healingResources:Connect with JulianneThe Stars within You: A Modern Guide to AstrologyKelly Lee PhippsStephen ForrestListen to the Groovy Geminis playlist on Spotify here.Follow along for more:@groovygeminis@jenagburton@beesax
Transcribe →Your Birth Chart Is a Style Guide: Astrology, Self-Expression & Cosmic Style with Leah Vanderveldt
Jun 1001:14:32Tap to summarizeWhat if your birth chart could transform the way you get dressed? This week we're joined by author, astrologer, cosmic stylist, and tarot creator Leah Vanderveldt — founder of the Cosmic Style Substack and podcast and author of Seasonal Power Tarot and Magical Self-Care for Everyday Life. Leah takes us on her journey from working at Vogue to becoming a leading voice at the intersection of astrology and personal style, and breaks down how your natal chart is actually a map for your most authentic self-expression. We get into what your rising sign, Venus sign, and sun sign say about your wardrobe, why so many of us suppress key parts of our chart (and how it shows up in how we dress), and how to stop saving your favorite pieces for special occasions. Plus, Leah does live cosmic style readings for both of us — and the accuracy is unreal. If you've ever felt disconnected from your style or like you're dressing for who you used to be, this episode is for you.In this episode:How Leah went from Vogue to astrologer and cosmic stylistUsing your big three to unlock your personal styleWhy your sun sign relationship is more complicated than you thinkHow annual perfections and Venus returns influence your style eraTips for dressing as a busy mom without losing your identityLeah's Cosmic Shift offering — astrological email coachingConnect with Leah:Website + offeringsCosmic Style on Substack@leah.vanderveldt on IGListen to the Groovy Geminis playlist on Spotify here.Follow along for more:@groovygeminis@jenagburton@beesax
Transcribe →The Energetics of Friendship: Astrology, Reciprocity & Evolving Connections in Gemini Season
May 2700:42:12Tap to summarizeFriendship is one of the most underrated wellness tools we have — and we're kicking off Gemini season with one of our favorite topics to dig into. In this episode, we're diving into the energetics of friendship: how your moon sign shapes emotional safety and bonding, how Mercury signs influence your communication style and compatibility, and how your rising sign affects the first impression you give off in relationships.We also talk about why adult friendships are complicated (hello, motherhood, healing seasons, and burnout), how friendships naturally evolve and sometimes fade, the difference between expansion friendships and maintenance friendships, and why you were never meant to get all your needs met by one person.This one's for anyone navigating new seasons of friendship, craving more depth in their connections, or just trying to understand why some people just get you and others don't.Coaching prompt: What relationships in my life feel like expansion, and which ones feel like maintenance?Mantra: I welcome friendships rooted in reciprocity, truth, and mutual evolution.Listen to the Groovy Geminis playlist on Spotify here.Follow along for more:@groovygeminis@jenagburton@beesax
Transcribe →What We're Unlearning: Rest, Worthiness, Fear & Healing Beyond Optimization
May 1301:11:10Tap to summarizeWe spend so much time in growth mode — learning, optimizing, doing the work. But what if some of what we picked up along the way is actually what's been holding us back?In this episode, Jena and Bethany get personal about the beliefs they're actively unlearning: that rest has to be earned, that your value comes from productivity, that healing is something to be optimized, and that playing small keeps the peace. They also dig into what it really means to lead with love over fear, trust your intuition without intellectualizing it, and let healing be something you live rather than something you perform.This one is honest, a little vulnerable, and full of moments you'll want to screenshot and send to a friend.Topics covered:Unlearning hustle culture and the "rest must be earned" mindsetWhy healing becomes another form of self-improvement pressure — and how to break the cyclePlaying small to make others comfortableMaking decisions from fear vs. loveTrusting your intuition without needing to intellectualize itShadow work, throat chakra healing, and emotional processingOracle card pull: New Life by Colette Baron-ReidCoaching prompt: What version of yourself are you quietly outgrowing?Mantra: I release the version of success that disconnects me from myselfListen to the Groovy Geminis playlist on Spotify here.Follow along for more:@groovygeminis@jenagburton@beesax
