“That's why the natal chart is so cool and human design and gene keys are these beautiful tools that give us permission to be ourselves.”

–Danielle Hendrickson

I’m a Gemini. For a long time, that’s all I knew about astrology. But it fascinated me. Turns out, all I knew was my Sun sigh, and I’m really interested in Moons, because the moon maps to the feminine cycle.

I’m excited to share this conversation with Venusian astrologer Danielle Hendrickson, who writes the Astrology Report for Pause magazine every month.

I asked Danielle for Astrology 101, and she used this analogy. You’re in a car, and you are the driver. The car is being fueled by your sun. Your sun is the gas in the tank, and it’s making you move towards your ascending sign, which is who you are here to become. To find out who else is in the car, and why they matter, take a listen.

We talk about:

The shift in our creative center when we reach menopause
Venus returns happening every eight years and how you can see your feminine rising over time
Understanding your signs to understand your path and be more yourself
How your relationship with the moon may change in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond
Mapping the moon, your cycle, and your Venus week
The 19-month Venus cycle

DOABLE CHANGES

At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action.

Sometimes action gets a bad rap. You can be kind to yourself. You can practice being AND doing, but for change to happen you have to take steps. The way we take care of ourselves is making the steps doable and focusing on one thing at a time. We take time to integrate the change and then move on to the next one. Pick a Doable Change that resonates with you the most to start from.

Here are three Doable changes that we chose from this conversation.

FIND YOUR MOON. You probably know your Sun sign — that’s the horoscope you usually look up. What about your moon? Use an online moon sign calculator to find your moon and learn more about it.
MAP THE MOON CYCLE. Use our moon tracker, the moon board Danielle mentioned, or any other way to track where the moon is in its cycle, where you are in yours (if you are cycling) and what you notice about yourself in different parts of the cycle.
GET A BASIC CHART. I highly recommend you get a reading from a real astrologer, especially if you are interested in the sacred feminine. If you’re ready, your doable change is to book an appointment. Not ready, try asking AI about your chart to get a starting point. What resonates?
