Speaker 1: Today on the bright Side, astrologer Channy Nicholas reads our
Speaker 1: show's birth chart. Whether you're a true believer like Danielle
Speaker 1: or a bit of a skeptic like you girl, I
Speaker 1: promise you'll learn something.
Speaker 2: Plus Channy tells us what's written in the stars for
Speaker 2: the show, For us and of course for.
Speaker 3: You, the bright side is always that we have each other, right.
Speaker 3: The bright side is that the myth of individualism, we'll
Speaker 3: kill you literally, and that if we remember that we
Speaker 3: are a collective, remember that we are not alone, which
Speaker 3: is what happens when you are honest with your story,
Speaker 3: then we remember that we get through this only together.
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, March twenty seventh. I'm Simone Boyce.
Speaker 2: I'm Danielle Robe and this is the bright side from
Speaker 2: Hello Sunshine. Okay, Simon, I recently came across this photo
Speaker 2: of model Emily Radikowski and she posted on Instagram a
Speaker 2: photo of her divorce ring. Before we get into her
Speaker 2: divorce ring and divorce rings in general, do you remember
Speaker 2: her engagement ring?
Speaker 1: I don't. Can you refresh my memory?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna say this wrong, but if anybody speaks French,
Speaker 2: let me know what it really sounds like she popularized
Speaker 2: the tooi Etois engagement ring, which basically is two stones
Speaker 2: together on one band. First of all, this ring left
Speaker 2: a mark on the industry. I'm not even a ring person,
Speaker 2: and I remember this ring. But now that she's divorced,
Speaker 2: she separated the stone. So I think there's symbolism for
Speaker 2: her and that it's sort of like the engagement ring.
Speaker 2: Said I do, and then this one says, I don't.
Speaker 1: I love this trend because I think it's so empowering
Speaker 1: for women who are moving through divorce. It's a way
Speaker 1: to take that experience that can be heartbreaking and incredibly
Speaker 1: painful and own it and also get two rings out
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: Hey, she was like, I am not going to let
Speaker 2: losing a man. She said this to Fokes. She said,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to let losing a man get rid
Speaker 2: of my gems. And I agree with you. I think
Speaker 2: divorce is so brutal, especially when there's kids involved and
Speaker 2: she has a child, that it's like, whatever empowers you.
Speaker 2: I love it, But I do think there's symbolism and jewelry,
Speaker 2: and so I don't know if I would personally want
Speaker 2: to do this because it would still remind me of
Speaker 2: my ex.
Speaker 1: Even if you separated them out. Yeah, even if it
Speaker 1: was two separate stones.
Speaker 2: I think, like not to get so woo woo, but
Speaker 2: I feel like it would carry the energy of that
Speaker 2: relationship of that man and I.
Speaker 1: Diamond would literally carry the energy. No, not litterally, his spirit.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that, but no figuratively.
Speaker 2: And I just I'm kind of like, if you bought
Speaker 2: me anything and we're not together anymore, I'm selling it
Speaker 2: on eBay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to I think it's hard to say
Speaker 1: what I would do in that moment. I also have
Speaker 1: never owned a ring that large. I don't know what
Speaker 1: the price tag would be if I sold it on eBay.
Speaker 1: But I think you have to tell our right side
Speaker 1: besties what you just told me, which is that you
Speaker 1: might not even wear a ring when you get engaged. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't think I want a ring. I do hope
Speaker 2: to be married. I'm thirty three. I hope to be
Speaker 2: married at some point in the next six years. Maybe
Speaker 2: that would be nice, But I've never cared about rings.
Speaker 2: All my friends say to me, like, you don't care
Speaker 2: until you get engaged and then you want to ring.
Speaker 1: I think I would feel I would feel so naked
Speaker 1: if I didn't have my ring. Also, it's a great
Speaker 1: man repellent whenever you go out to a bar and
Speaker 1: you want to just fend off all the f boys.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. There is symbolism in our culture.
Speaker 1: You're right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I guess we decided on nothing in this
Speaker 2: segment except for that this is a rich person problem.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm for it. I'm pro divorce ring.
Speaker 2: I'm convinced that I need to do some research. Another
Speaker 2: thing I'm convinced about is that you can do your
Speaker 2: whole face of makeup from a drug store.
Speaker 1: Have you ever tried it? I'm really good at doing
Speaker 1: a full car beat, Like I will do the full
Speaker 1: beat in the car. I'll do a MANI petty in
Speaker 1: the car. Well, yeah, with the whole wax paraffin bathtub.
Speaker 1: Don't not start with me. I can't even do that
Speaker 1: in my home. Have you ever done a full face
Speaker 1: of drug store makeup?
Speaker 3: Hell? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I actually love the drug store.
Speaker 2: So the Today Show has been doing this series where
Speaker 2: they interview celebs about their favorite drug store buys, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, I want to see if any of these
Speaker 2: celebs products match up with mine? Yeah, so tell me
Speaker 2: if any of them match up with you. Kristin Chenowiz
Speaker 2: says she loves the Nivia lip bomb in Pink Shimmer.
Speaker 1: Wait, I'm writing this down. Yeah, we should put.
Speaker 2: A list out of our own as well on social Okay.
Speaker 2: Brooks Shields is a fan of Sally Hansen's wax strips.
Speaker 2: Aaron Andrews uses cris White strips. She says she's a
Speaker 2: coffee drinker and a wine drinker, So girl, same, and
Speaker 2: I'm about to give you some of mine.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm writing down.
Speaker 2: First of all, Brooks Shields with the wax strips, don't
Speaker 2: make fun of me. Have you ever tried the nose
Speaker 2: wax equipment that's in the drug store is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I can't say that I have my friend you.
Speaker 2: Lisa Bermudez is a a beauty blogger and she put
Speaker 2: me on and I will never be the same. There's
Speaker 2: like these white little sticks you dip into wax that
Speaker 2: you put in the microwave for two minutes. You stick
Speaker 2: them up your nose and you're good for like three weeks.
Speaker 1: What is the pain level here? Yeah?
Speaker 2: One through ten? I'd say six and a half. It's
Speaker 2: wordy to me. Okay, Loriel voluminous mess Scarra yes, eight
Speaker 2: ninety nine agree rivals, Chanel Door. Don't tell me you're
Speaker 2: buying an expensive mass scao when this exists. Smash smash, Okay,
Speaker 2: name a better lotion than Palmer's Cocoa butter for eight dollars.
Speaker 1: Nope, No, I just I'm laughing because I just love
Speaker 1: how black. That answer was like, like, you can come
Speaker 1: to the cookout, Danielle. You're invited to the cookout. Thank you. Okay,
Speaker 1: back to products anything Bert's Bees. Do you like Burt's Bees?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like a good chapstick.
Speaker 2: And then the rock Barrier am moisturizer. It's kind of
Speaker 2: like a secret weapon. It's EIGHTPF thirty and if you're
Speaker 2: in a jam, it's really good.
Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, you want to hear mine? Duh? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so I swear by Maybelene's brow liner brow pencil. How
Speaker 1: do you know which color you are? Soft brown? Okay, well, okay,
Speaker 1: soft brown is my color, but I typically go one
Speaker 1: to one shade lighter than my actual brow color because
Speaker 1: if you go the same exact shade then it just
Speaker 1: looks too heavy and fake. That's a good tip. Yeah.
Speaker 1: This so the Mabelene brow pencil. It's a slim brow
Speaker 1: pencil and I love it because it has a really
Speaker 1: thin tip and so it makes it really precise. I
Speaker 1: think it's the best dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills
Speaker 1: brow pencil. Oh that's the good one. Yeah. I switched
Speaker 1: over to this one because the Anastasia one it would
Speaker 1: always break the packages thirty dollars. This one's like under ten,
Speaker 1: under ten dollars. Vacline, vaciline. I'm a vacline girly for life.
Speaker 1: Where do you put it? Everywhere? Everywhere?
Speaker 2: Trying so hard not to laugh into the microphone and
Speaker 2: piss everybody off that's listening.
Speaker 1: But oh my god, wait, I know Vasilyn is controversial
Speaker 1: nowadays because it's like made from petroya and jelly or whatever.
Speaker 1: But it's the best. It's legendary. But what do you
Speaker 1: mean everywhere? Like on your face? No? I mean okay,
Speaker 1: So if I use retin all at night and sometimes
Speaker 1: I'll get areas of sensitivity or redness like around under
Speaker 1: the eyes or lips, and I'll put the vasoline on
Speaker 1: there because it's great for wounds and healing, Okay, and
Speaker 1: so that's the only place I'll put it. But I'm
Speaker 1: not like slugging my whole face like Tyra Banks was
Speaker 1: back in the day. Yeah, I love putting on vasiline
Speaker 1: right after I get the shower and my skin is
Speaker 1: still wet. It just really absorbs and it's amazing. It's iconic.
Speaker 1: Don't come for me because of my vasaline love.
Speaker 2: After the break, the stars have aligned in Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Today we have a very special guest here in studio
Speaker 2: to tell us what the heavens have in store for
Speaker 2: the coming weeks.
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere, We'll be right back back. We're back, y'all.
Speaker 1: I'm Simone Boye. If you like me, don't know your
Speaker 1: ascendance from your aspects, don't worry. Astrologer Channy Nicholas is
Speaker 1: one of the world's leading experts and best translators on
Speaker 1: the subject.
Speaker 2: She's the author of the New York Times bestseller You
Speaker 2: Were Born for This Astrology for Radical self acceptance, and
Speaker 2: she's here to give us a cosmic breakdown of what
Speaker 2: our podcast birth chart means. Welcome to the bright Side, Channey.
Speaker 2: We're so excited to have.
Speaker 1: You Channy, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited
Speaker 3: to be here.
Speaker 2: So you have been an astrologer for more than two decades?
Speaker 3: Is that true?
Speaker 1: It's true. I checked, Okay, got check check.
Speaker 2: But you know there's no college major you can't like
Speaker 2: enroll in astrology school necessarily, So I'm so curious how
Speaker 2: you got into this.
Speaker 3: I got into it because my dad's third wife, mom
Speaker 3: was a reiki master, and all of her friends were
Speaker 3: astrologers and psychics. And when I was twelve years old,
Speaker 3: she sent me and the whole family to get like
Speaker 3: a group of astrology reading and I just felt like
Speaker 3: I knew what this woman was talking about, and she
Speaker 3: was talking a language that was mine, but no one
Speaker 3: had ever spoken to me in before, and so I
Speaker 3: was just like immediately enraptured.
Speaker 2: So interesting because that familiarity, I think is what scares
Speaker 2: people about astrology. They don't feel like they understand the language.
Speaker 1: Usually. Yeah, I have to be honest, I'm one of
Speaker 1: those people that's like, I'm not scared of it. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say I'm scared of it. I think I'm skeptical
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, great, I think that the key to
Speaker 1: happiness is having an internal locus of control, so focusing
Speaker 1: on the things that you can control. And when I
Speaker 1: think of astrology, it feels like an ideology that is,
Speaker 1: where you're ruled by something that's outside of your control.
Speaker 3: I just want everyone to know that Simona is an Aquarius.
Speaker 3: So yes, but I love that for you.
Speaker 1: Do am I acting like an Aquarius right now? Am
Speaker 1: I being hyperlogical and practical? Maybe? Yeah, I mean it's great,
Speaker 1: I love it. But let me say here's the caveat
Speaker 1: I identify as an Aquarius when I look at the traits.
Speaker 1: When I look at the traits of an Aquarius, I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's me. And also Oprah's an Aquarius, so of course
Speaker 1: I'm going to claim it. But but you're not only
Speaker 1: an Aquarius. You're also Capricorn rising, so you're doubly ruled
Speaker 1: by Saturn. And Saturn is a planet of discernment and
Speaker 1: rules and structure and order and boundary and logic, and
Speaker 1: like this, there's a beginning, middle and end to something.
Speaker 1: So like there's a way in which your rising sign
Speaker 1: is very like it's very like hands on and practical
Speaker 1: in a earthy sense.
Speaker 3: And your Sun sign and your mercury. You also have
Speaker 3: a very very very strong mercury planet of communication also
Speaker 3: in Aquarius. And so that is like, give me the facts,
Speaker 3: give me the data, scientists, But I.
Speaker 2: Feel like you're trying to solve for randomness, and it's
Speaker 2: like almost a it's an illusion of control.
Speaker 1: Well, this gets into a whole like, oh, yeah, we
Speaker 1: can free destination, self determination conversation that's just been going
Speaker 1: on for thousands of years, right, astrology, right, and religion.
Speaker 1: But can we talk about that for a moment, Like,
Speaker 1: if you subscribe to astrology, to me, it feels like
Speaker 1: you're letting go of a lot of agency. How come
Speaker 1: because you are your life path or your movements are
Speaker 1: dictated by the stars. My question is like, do you
Speaker 1: still feel like you have control over your destiny even
Speaker 1: when you subscribe to astrology.
Speaker 3: I mean I am a fiercely independent, like almost fairal
Speaker 3: human being. I do not like to be controlled by
Speaker 3: anything or anyone. Yeah, almost like to my own demise
Speaker 3: in most cases. So I don't feel controlled by the
Speaker 3: astrology at all. I feel enlightened by it, okay, And
Speaker 3: I feel like it is a language and it's something
Speaker 3: that has I have communication with okay. So it's like
Speaker 3: it's like being with somebody who has gone down the
Speaker 3: road I'm going down and they're like, Okay, well there's
Speaker 3: a pothole up there. I don't have to listen to it.
Speaker 3: Do I feel controlled by that information?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: But I don't have to like fall into it, and
Speaker 3: like I don't have to be like balancing seventeen cups
Speaker 3: as I go towards it. Okay, I could be like, Okay,
Speaker 3: well I'm gonna be a little.
Speaker 1: Bit more prepared for it. That makes sense.
Speaker 3: And also I don't know how it's going to roll out,
Speaker 3: but I know it's probably going to be a bumpy
Speaker 3: little section of my journey. Yeah, but I'm not controlled
Speaker 3: by that. I'm just made more aware. It's kind of
Speaker 3: like a weather report, ah okay.
Speaker 1: You know, like if you're like.
Speaker 3: Wow, that weather person's always you know, predicting this thing
Speaker 3: and they're always wrong, then why would I listen to you.
Speaker 3: Astrology is not a system of confirmation bias for me.
Speaker 3: It's a system of insight for me, and it works,
Speaker 3: and that's why I use it.
Speaker 1: So like I sit.
Speaker 3: Down with strangers and I just start talking about their
Speaker 3: chart before they've said anything to me, I don't know
Speaker 3: anything about them. Yeah, and they feel witnessed by me.
Speaker 1: They feel seen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not me. It's the technology of the
Speaker 3: system itself. So I just think that technology of it works,
Speaker 3: and so I work with it. But if it wasn't
Speaker 3: something I could depend on, I wouldn't mess with it.
Speaker 2: Okay, So before we jump in, can you tell everybody
Speaker 2: what a birth chart even is.
Speaker 3: So a birth chart you can do for anything. For
Speaker 3: any time you say, let's do this thing, that's there's
Speaker 3: a birth chart. Like if I ask you out for coffee,
Speaker 3: there's a chart for that. Like anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: any the US meeting, like the moment we met was, there's.
Speaker 1: A chart for that. Stop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a chart every moment in time. You just
Speaker 3: take a snapshot. You take a snapshot of the sky,
Speaker 3: and then that means something to astrologer. So all astrology
Speaker 3: is skeptics, She got very excited.
Speaker 1: No, but I'm a half skeptic. I like I said,
Speaker 1: I believe I'm an Aquarius. Everything that she said, I
Speaker 1: can't deny it, and that I can't deny that I
Speaker 1: am that person.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so everything. The only thing astrology is it's not
Speaker 3: even I don't even know if it's spiritual. What astrology
Speaker 3: is is it tells you the quality of time that
Speaker 3: you're in. It tells you the quality of time that
Speaker 3: you are an amulet of What does that word mean?
Speaker 3: An amulet is like it's almost like a rain barrow,
Speaker 3: Like it's catching a moment and time in this case, right,
Speaker 3: if you make an amulet, you're making it because the
Speaker 3: setting is right and you want to capture the energy
Speaker 3: of that moment. And so each one of us are
Speaker 3: an astrological talisman or amulet. We are a moment in
Speaker 3: time captured in physical form.
Speaker 1: Like a vessel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a mirror image of it. So the sky,
Speaker 3: if you in terms of like what is an astrological philosophy,
Speaker 3: the sky is a mirror image of who we are,
Speaker 3: what we are, what we're going through.
Speaker 2: So how does it inform who we are? How we
Speaker 2: show up?
Speaker 3: It can be used as a mirror, right, So it
Speaker 3: can be used to you can ask me a question
Speaker 3: about your life and I can look I can look
Speaker 3: into any area of your life because of the way
Speaker 3: in which it works, So it can tell me any
Speaker 3: You can tell me about different people in your life,
Speaker 3: like not even you. It tells me something about your destiny.
Speaker 3: It tells me something about your fate.
Speaker 1: That sounds weighty. I know, isn't It sounds very weighty.
Speaker 1: I don't know about this.
Speaker 3: But you were born in a time in a country
Speaker 3: that has a fate to it.
Speaker 2: I'm even nervous to ask you this, But what does
Speaker 2: the Brightside's birth chart say about this show's fate?
Speaker 3: This is an eclipse baby, which means this anything born
Speaker 3: on an eclipse, A person, a situation, a business, or
Speaker 3: whatever is going to bring through a surge of energy.
Speaker 3: It's going to be startling, it's going to be new,
Speaker 3: It's going to be kind of like a little bit
Speaker 3: of a friendly slap in the face.
Speaker 1: Do this for us? This is us? Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: want to be slapped in the face. We are a
Speaker 1: friendly slap in the face personified.
Speaker 3: You might also have the ability to like eclipse other things, right,
Speaker 3: so like your your presence in the world can do that,
Speaker 3: and or sometimes you could feel eclipsed. So there's that
Speaker 3: feeling of like are you being overshadowed? Are you overshadowing?
Speaker 3: There's that thing because during an eclipse, this one is
Speaker 3: a lunar eclipse. So it's the moon is being covered
Speaker 3: over by the shadow and then it turns bright red.
Speaker 1: All I have to say is watch out podcasts. It's startling.
Speaker 1: Watch out. Yeah, and we're here, so we're slapping the face,
Speaker 1: we're eclipsing. You're an airy sun, which is bold. It's
Speaker 1: a brazen moment of like leadership. So this chart's identity
Speaker 1: is about leadership. It's about not asking questions, not even
Speaker 1: apologizing later. It's just about kind of we're gonna ask
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. So Channy, it's not oh wait,
Speaker 1: I meant not asking for permission. Okay, okay, I said
Speaker 1: that wrong.
Speaker 3: God, asking for permission maybe not even saying sorry later.
Speaker 3: But you have a libra moon. You're born at the
Speaker 3: full moon. So the Libra moon is very friendly and
Speaker 3: very much about justice and equality, and there's a you
Speaker 3: have an excellent venus situation. So it's really good for women,
Speaker 3: it's really good for fems, it's really good for lgbt
Speaker 3: q i A folks, and it's making this aspect that's
Speaker 3: really quite like exciting and adventurous and expansive.
Speaker 1: What you're saying is a huge part of our value system. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything aligns good. It's very cool. You're getting me fired
Speaker 1: up right now. I'm like, ready, let's go. Okay.
Speaker 2: Wait, So when you say an ari's sun, I'm curious
Speaker 2: as to the three main elements to look up for
Speaker 2: in a birth chart.
Speaker 1: Right, it's sun, moon.
Speaker 3: And ascendant. And so you have a Capricorn ascendant, which
Speaker 3: you have everything in Capricorn, and you also have in
Speaker 3: a Capricorn. This is a this is a heavy Apricornian situation.
Speaker 2: Every time I've done a reading, they look at me
Speaker 2: and they're like, you're the most Capricorny, the most Capricorn, the.
Speaker 3: Most You're also an eclipse, baby, Really, you were born
Speaker 3: and an eclipse. I didn't know that, like exactly. It's
Speaker 3: pretty rare to have that happen in a chart.
Speaker 1: I love that for you like to have it so close.
Speaker 3: So you also have so you resonate with the show's
Speaker 3: chart in a really deep way because you have that
Speaker 3: energy to you too, Like you have the kind of
Speaker 3: life where wild, weird things will all of a sudden
Speaker 3: happen to you, and like a turn of events will
Speaker 3: occur and all of a sudden you'll be like on
Speaker 3: this path and people be like, how does that happen
Speaker 3: to you?
Speaker 1: Is that true for you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're gonna I'm gonna tell some stories
Speaker 2: as we go on with this show, but I get
Speaker 2: myself into very strange situations.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a very unexpected kind of quality and
Speaker 3: feeling to it. But it's also like buzzing because eclipses
Speaker 3: are things that happen where our energy source the sun
Speaker 3: or a source of life the moon gets eclipsed. So
Speaker 3: it's like if you're if we had a power outage
Speaker 3: or a power surge. So it's like weird and unstable,
Speaker 3: but it usually creates really interesting people.
Speaker 1: I'll take it, thank you, ny an interesting podcast.
Speaker 3: And also you have the same ascendant as the as
Speaker 3: the chart no Capricorn. Oh you boys have Capricorn ascendants
Speaker 3: and you have everything in Capricorn, so this is a
Speaker 3: very Capricornian vibe here. You also have the same venus
Speaker 3: as the show, which is Venus and Pisces. You have
Speaker 3: like one of the most gorgeous moon venus setups that
Speaker 3: one can have.
Speaker 1: I'll talk about it in a second.
Speaker 3: You want, but but gorgeous, gorgeous, but there's a there's
Speaker 3: a long lasting endurance quality to Capricorn. So this is
Speaker 3: not like a kind of like one and done situation,
Speaker 3: Like all three of you the show and the two
Speaker 3: of you want something long lasting, like you're here to
Speaker 3: put in the work. You'll be diligent, you'll be concise,
Speaker 3: you'll be like sticking to the rules. You'll be doing
Speaker 3: the thing chugging along, and you want it to work
Speaker 3: for a long period of time. And so there is
Speaker 3: that quality to it. And the show's Saturn, which is
Speaker 3: the planet that rules the ascendate, is in the third
Speaker 3: house of communications. That's really good.
Speaker 1: What does that mean for us?
Speaker 3: I mean, well, it means that the life's direction of
Speaker 3: the show wants to go towards communicating. Well, that's what
Speaker 3: we should do right as we're host of a podcast.
Speaker 3: We're talkers, Okay, but I do think that you will
Speaker 3: talk about difficult subjects and I don't think that that's
Speaker 3: the nature of the show though.
Speaker 1: No, it is. I mean I think of difficult subjects
Speaker 1: as nuance. Okay. I think another way to phrase it
Speaker 1: is nuance, and we want to get into nuance here.
Speaker 3: I think it's really important for the show because there's
Speaker 3: a real like there's a there's an interesting thing that's
Speaker 3: happening with the ruler of the Ascendant, which is the
Speaker 3: planet that steers the life of this show, which is
Speaker 3: to say, it's bolstered by Venus, which is a planet
Speaker 3: of love and beauty and connection in a really good condition.
Speaker 3: But it's also sitting with Mars, which Whens and Saturn
Speaker 3: come together. There's something challenging that gets seated, and so
Speaker 3: this is like you'll be helped and you'll be assisted.
Speaker 3: But I do think to shy away from challenging conversations
Speaker 3: would be a mistake.
Speaker 1: Challenging conversations on the air for our audience, or challenging
Speaker 1: conversations with each other, like what is that? No, this
Speaker 1: is the show. This is the show.
Speaker 3: The show wants to be able to tackle some hefty,
Speaker 3: weighty subjects. Okay, it's not just like it's got a
Speaker 3: libramon so it's super friendly and chatty and like can
Speaker 3: be really pretty and sparkly and lovely, but there's there's
Speaker 3: a need for some heft here.
Speaker 1: I think that comes from both of us.
Speaker 2: I feel a real attraction to like busting through stereotypes
Speaker 2: and talking to people that are a little bit complicated. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I think you're you have a lot of depth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and audacity too, I think I would. Audacity is
Speaker 1: a word that I really want to reclaim, okay, because
Speaker 1: I feel like it has been misinterpreted and it's all
Speaker 1: about just like courage and boldness. Yes, K, you're seeing
Speaker 1: that in our show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, We're gonna pause right there to take a short break.
Speaker 2: But when we come back, will Channy turn Simone into
Speaker 2: a true believer? Is that a yes or a no?
Speaker 2: Stay tuned to find out. Welcome back to the bright side.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Do you think that based on the birth chart of
Speaker 2: the show and reading both my and Simone's birth chart,
Speaker 2: there are any goals that we should be shooting for
Speaker 2: individually or together.
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: You always have to feel creatively alive, like your creative
Speaker 3: energy is everything. Like if you worry or wonder or
Speaker 3: or you know, question anything in your life, I want
Speaker 3: you to always go back to creative pursuits, your creative energy.
Speaker 3: Maybe even children in your life. Do you have no,
Speaker 3: but I want them? I mean it's huge for you. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and in doing anything for kids, Like if you were
Speaker 3: to do any kind of like extra work on the side.
Speaker 1: Or you wanted to give money or you wanted to
Speaker 1: give your time.
Speaker 3: Anything for kids in youth, Yeah, would be so meaningful
Speaker 3: for your chart, or even reproductive rights or anything like that,
Speaker 3: like anything about conception, reproduction, children, youth and art. Like
Speaker 3: if you did something about kids and art or like theater,
Speaker 3: like all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: Would the whole goal in life is to reach young girls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to babysit my kids anytime, by
Speaker 1: the way, I've already often, I've already I.
Speaker 3: Would give her my child because her chart she's so responsible,
Speaker 3: so playful, nice, she's.
Speaker 1: Very responsible, very trustworthy. Yeah, anytime.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so stick to creativity. How about simone?
Speaker 3: Hers is like oddly concentrated, right, so like everything goes there.
Speaker 1: Yours is like work.
Speaker 3: For sure, But also you have uch a blessing in
Speaker 3: the area of communication and writing, and it would be
Speaker 3: like a shame for you to not live that out,
Speaker 3: Like that's a hugely potent piece of your chart and
Speaker 3: anything to do with the creative process as it pertains
Speaker 3: to words, to rituals to like daily light like all
Speaker 3: of that. It's very important. But like I just think
Speaker 3: you're such an incredibly gifted communicator and that people would
Speaker 3: love what you say, like there's a quality to your voice,
Speaker 3: quality to your words, quality to your writing that is
Speaker 3: begging to be developed and really wants to lend itself
Speaker 3: to your career.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting taller now. I'm just rest for you. Though. Yes,
Speaker 1: it does, it is. I think I am understanding that
Speaker 1: statement and also connecting that to what you mentioned about
Speaker 1: being in a pivot or some things that are happening
Speaker 1: for me creatively right now. Where that all aligns it
Speaker 1: makes sense. Good, good, good, Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then the ruler of your ascendant is also Saturn.
Speaker 3: It's a very like function up kind of Saturn.
Speaker 1: Like you're here to like be like, okay, we write
Speaker 1: it down exactly. I texted her that the other day exactly.
Speaker 3: You're like, I want to know exactly how the system
Speaker 3: works so I can mess with it in the most
Speaker 3: efficient and seamless way.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right.
Speaker 3: So you're not going to come in and like be like, oh,
Speaker 3: just like a rebel without a cause. You're like, I
Speaker 3: have a cause, and I've I've studied the blueprints of
Speaker 3: this thing inside and out. I know exactly where I am,
Speaker 3: what I'm about to do, and why.
Speaker 1: And now watch me it's so true. I got I
Speaker 1: think you're listening live to an astrology skeptic become a believer. Yes,
Speaker 1: welcome to the show, folks.
Speaker 2: I have one more question about the chart. One of
Speaker 2: the things we're trying to do is build a really bright, sparkly,
Speaker 2: joyful community. And this is our first week, so we're
Speaker 2: bringing everybody in. I really feel like it's not just
Speaker 2: our show. It's a show for women by women, and
Speaker 2: I want everyone to feel like it's their show. Is
Speaker 2: there something about the show's chart that speaks to the
Speaker 2: community at large?
Speaker 3: Yes, So if I look to the community in the chart,
Speaker 3: it's definitely the point at which, like the public receives
Speaker 3: your communal offering. The community is represented in your chart
Speaker 3: by Mars, that planet that is sitting with Saturn. So
Speaker 3: there's this connection between the charts, destiny and the public.
Speaker 3: And again it's like supported by a lot there's a
Speaker 3: lot of friendliness, there's a lot of help. But again
Speaker 3: it's like the public that you're talking to, they want
Speaker 3: to know you're real, I think, is what I would say.
Speaker 3: It's like it's not like a forur pretend kind of situation.
Speaker 3: It's like, again, it's the same thing as I said before.
Speaker 3: It wants to get gritty, It wants to get into
Speaker 3: the details, wants to know like why is this moment difficult?
Speaker 3: And I do think that you have this in the
Speaker 3: show's chart already, but like what is the pain point
Speaker 3: and what is the medicine for that? Like how can
Speaker 3: we talk our way through the things that we might
Speaker 3: be kind of like that might be like a bit
Speaker 3: of a.
Speaker 1: Nod for us. That's what we've been trying to a
Speaker 1: massage ut out. That's something that we've talked about because
Speaker 1: with a show that has a title like The bright Side,
Speaker 1: it's really easy to just go yeah, positivity, optimism, joy, everything.
Speaker 1: But that's not what life looks like. Life is messy,
Speaker 1: and so we are trying to be mindful of finding
Speaker 1: those moments where we can talk about the messiness and
Speaker 1: be honest about it.
Speaker 2: Every time I see gloriou Steinem speak in person, she says,
Speaker 2: the most feminist thing you could do is share your
Speaker 2: honest stories with other women.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's in aries too.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean she's a fighter. A fighter, so you
Speaker 3: have a chart of a fighter. Yeah, Like there's that
Speaker 3: Nee need to blaze a trail, to go head first,
Speaker 3: to risk your own comfort and sometimes safety, in order
Speaker 3: to do the thing that you feel inspired to do
Speaker 3: and that one must go do.
Speaker 2: I think we have to embody that because I think
Speaker 2: our goal is to share the honest, real story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the bright side is always that we have
Speaker 3: each other, right. The bright side is that the myth
Speaker 3: of individualism will kill you literally, and that if we
Speaker 3: remember that we are a collective, remember that we are
Speaker 3: not alone, which is what happens when you are honest
Speaker 3: with your story, then we remember that we get through
Speaker 3: this only together. And I think the moon in this
Speaker 3: chart does speak to that because it is about relationships,
Speaker 3: It is being connected with others.
Speaker 1: Tanny, incorporating all the knowledge that you just imbued us
Speaker 1: with about our charts, can you give us an affirmation
Speaker 1: for our show that we can keep in mind moving forward.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we're really putting.
Speaker 3: You on I know, right, Yeah, an affirmation for the show.
Speaker 3: I think what I was going to say is like
Speaker 3: I use my energy to serve something greater than myself.
Speaker 3: That I am not taken off course by interruptions and
Speaker 3: by life being life, but I am committed to a
Speaker 3: long term process of moving towards something that is equitable
Speaker 3: and fair and just a world that is considerate of
Speaker 3: all that are in it.
Speaker 2: So we're wrapping up March and going into April. What
Speaker 2: are the major astrological events that listeners should be mindful of?
Speaker 3: Man, I mean, April's a tough month.
Speaker 1: Don't say that, can I be honest? I never hear
Speaker 1: someone who's into astrology say that things are going great.
Speaker 1: It's always no. I know, I know it's always mercuries
Speaker 1: in retrograde that there's always something bad happening.
Speaker 3: Because you know why, because fear on the internet. Okay,
Speaker 3: So there's really beautiful things happening in April. There's just
Speaker 3: a really tough eclipse on April eighth. It's a time
Speaker 3: where I think it might be a little rumbly and
Speaker 3: bumpy for the world. But there's something gorgeous happening. Okay,
Speaker 3: So yes, for your listeners, Okay, for your listeners. There
Speaker 3: is a gorgeous conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus that is
Speaker 3: happening in Tauris, and it hasn't happened since the forties.
Speaker 3: And Jupiter's a planet of abundance, and Uranus is a
Speaker 3: planet of innovation, and so they're happening. They're coming together
Speaker 3: in Taurus, which is about material life, and I think
Speaker 3: the workforce, and so I think that there's going to
Speaker 3: be something really innovative and helpful and hopeful in terms
Speaker 3: of maybe the economy, maybe in terms of a like
Speaker 3: marginalized group or groups busting through into like a.
Speaker 1: New sector of the workforce.
Speaker 3: The last time we had it, one of the archetypes
Speaker 3: that came through was like Rosie the Riffeter, and so
Speaker 3: it was like women going into the workforce in a
Speaker 3: way and folks of color going into the workforce in
Speaker 3: a way. But it was a huge change in the
Speaker 3: ways in which we thought of like work and who
Speaker 3: can do it?
Speaker 1: This was really cool. Thank you. I feel like you
Speaker 1: staged our space.
Speaker 3: Thank you for bringing this to Thank you so much
Speaker 3: for having me.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.

Speaker 2: you to become an astrology believer.

Speaker 1: of fun with you today. Before we close out the episode,
