In this episode, Alison shares a refresh to Living the Spiral, moving from full/new moon episodes to a monthly rhythm with three releases: a season-ahead episode (with rising sign horoscopes, key transits, and a Human Design gate walkthrough), ongoing “Magicians” interviews, and a third, more spacious big-picture episode. She also points listeners to her written Mandala 64 Walk on Substack via livingthespiral.com [http://livingthespiral.com] and mentions a new astrocartography app project in the works. She then welcomes Gemini season (May 20/21–June 20), describing its breezy, curious, pollinator energy and its links to breath, lungs, arms, and childhood. She weaves in Gemini mythology (Babylonian Great Twins; Castor and Pollux) and outlines the six Gemini Human Design gates (20, 16, 35, 45, 12, 15), plus major transits, and closes with offerings like the Gemini season guidebook and astro-human design readings at hearthandspiral.com [http://hearthandspiral.com].Work with Alison Alison is an ecosomatic astrologer, Human Design guide, and spiritual teacher based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Ancestral Magic with Rachel Simon Stark

In this Living the Spiral: Magicians episode, host Alison Dale frames magic as making the invisible visible through attention and intention. She interviews Rachel Simon Stark, founder of Widening Circles Collaborative, about ancestral reclamation, cultural repair, and collective liberation. Rachel describes being contacted in 2018 by her grandmother Ruth during a rock-bottom period, which initiated Rachel’s ancestral work and led to her nine-week course Cultivating Culture that emphasizes grounding, guided tools, community processing, and service. Drawing on urban planning’s focus on belonging, Rilke’s “Widening Circles,” and identity as a fluid river, she discusses chosen ancestors, more-than-human ancestors, boundaries rather than walls, and meeting ancestors in their wholeness. The conversation addresses trauma, shame vs humility, colonialism and indigeneity, being future ancestors, releasing victimization into agency, and Rachel’s plan to offer the course again around October/Samhain.Thanks for tuning in!

Medusa, Chiron & the New Moon in Taurus

Hey friends, happy New Moon in Taurus. We’re 2 weeks out from that potent full moon in Scorpio… how are you all doing out there? How did that lunation show up for you? This new moon is conjunct the Medusa Star and happens on the same day that Mars meets Chiron. So while it’s not necessarily gentle, it’s still exalted in Taurus, and the gate that it’s falling in is a deep reminder of the power of our personal agency, care, and contributions. Thanks for liking, sharing, and reviewing Living the Spiral- it truly helps me to reach more people and continue writing and recording this labor of love. Living the Spiral is a reader-supported publication.

The Full Moon in Scorpio and the Season of Speaking Your Truth

The Full Moon in Scorpio and the Season of Speaking Your Truth Sign up for the Beltane Ritual next Tuesday at 5pm MST here! [https://tidycal.com/hearthandspiral/beltane]I'd love to invite you to my May 5 Zoom ritual “Blossoming into Beltane” (somatic work, a bit of vocalizing, creative practice, and cross-cultural Beltane teachings). In this full moon episode I riff on the Taurus–Scorpio axis as security and intimacy (throat and genitals) and track it through Human Design: Moon in Gate 44 (alertness/“coming to meet,” splenic instinct, ancestral pattern-recognition) and Sun in Gate 24 (rationalization, getting out of mental loops into invention and silence). I also ground Beltane as a Gaelic fire festival (bonfires, maypole, flowers, fertility) opposite Samhain/Halloween, and share my course “Your Heart is a Compass,” weaving the Wheel of the Year with G-center gates, Inanna dream symbolism, and practices like coherent breathing.00:00 Scorpio Full Moon Welcome01:24 Mayday Timing Clarified02:15 Beltane Ritual Invite03:25 Finding Your Voice05:49 Wheel Polarity Taurus Scorpio09:19 Gate 44 Meeting Shadows12:47 Gate 24 Mind to Silence15:19 Instinct and Reason Integration20:07 Beltane Origins and Traditions23:31 Heart Compass Course Vision31:51 Why We Need New Maps34:26 Grounding Practices and Closing This is a public episode.
