Unlocking the Empty Houses in Your Birth Chart + THEE Glamour Magick Full Moon

Psychic Abilities, ADHD & Pattern Recognition with Ashley B. Jones

+ Your Sagittarius Full Moon assignment! In this episode, I sit down with favorite self-coach, psychic reader, and energy healer Ashley B. Jones for a wide-ranging conversation about intuition, identity, and what it means to build a life as your favorite self. Before diving into the interview, I offer a mini astrology debrief covering the recent Mars square Pluto, the current Venus square Saturn, and what to expect from the Sagittarius Full Moon — including why this lunation is the perfect time to ask yourself: what’s the best that could happen? In the conversation, Ashley & I explore: * The link between neurodivergence, psychic abilities, and pattern recognition — and why Ashley’s viral video on this topic resonated with half a million people * ADHD in women and femmes: why it’s historically under-researched, why symptoms often emerge after puberty, and what medical sexism has to do with it * Ashley’s “Magnetic Habit Bingo” practice and how she uses it to embody her favorite self every day (she way on day 374 at the time of recording!) * Favorite self as a practical framework: using sensory anchors, daily rituals, and intuitive dressing to close the gap between who you are and who you want to be * The three types of time — chronos, kairos, and aion — and why operating on kairos (divine, cyclical) time is deeply astrological * The incoming Leo/Aquarius nodal shift: what it means for the collective, the shadow side of Leo energy, and why Jupiter moving into Leo is an invitation to lead with play * The “starving artist” myth, ancestral creative suppression, and why following your hyperfixation is the work * Saturn in Pisces, Saturn returns, and learning to not force things Ashley B. Jones is a Leo Sun, Pisces Moon and Rising psychic, artist, and coach who supports feelers and dreamers in building inner security and transforming their lives. Find the fabulous Ashley B.

Feral, Glamorous & Magical: Your Scorpio Full Moon Guide

The world is on fire — and collapsing, burning out, and complying aren’t your only options. This is your invitation to choose the secret third thing: becoming a hot witch. In this episode, I dive deep into the Scorpio full moon [https://leahvanderveldt.substack.com/p/the-witch-full-moon-and-assorted?r=9vyic&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true] (exact on May 1st) and why it’s the witch full moon of the year. We explore the dual Taurus-Scorpio polarity that holds both blooming and releasing energy simultaneously — and why that tension is the essence of witch energy. What we cover: * What the “hot witch” archetype actually means (and why it has nothing to do with patriarchal beauty standards) * How the hot witch is the antidote to trad wife culture and a radical act of self-authorship * The shadow work milestones that mark your hot witch arrival * Your 5th house and 8th house as the astrological home of your hot witch energy — desire, pleasure, depth, and transformation * How to read these houses even if they’re empty, using planetary rulerships * Venus and Mars as the receptive and active poles of your inner hot witch magic LINKS: → Cosmic Shift [https://leahvanderveldt.com/mentorship-with-leah]: 13 Days of Astro Voice Note Support → Birth Chart Deep Dive [https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=19300227&appointmentType=75594241] → Scorpio Full Moon Glamour Magick Ritual [https://leahvanderveldt.substack.com/p/the-witch-full-moon-and-assorted?r=9vyic&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true] → How to be a menace to the patriarchy, according to your Black Moon Lilith [https://leahvanderveldt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-a-menace-to-the-patriarchy]

Shoot Your Shot, Tower Moments & Why This Aries Moon Hits Different

The first eclipse-free Aries New Moon in 3 Years is here — what are you ready to start? In this episode, I break down why this new moon is a genuine turning point after three years of eclipse-season turbulence in Aries, what the rare seven-planet Aries stellium means for your energy and your chart, and why this moment is asking you one very specific question: What haven’t you let yourself start yet?

The Power of Creative Thinking: Chelsea Riffe on Building New Worlds

Today I’m yapping with Chelsea Riffe [https://www.chelseariffe.com/] — Aquarius sun, Virgo moon and rising, and host of the newly renamed Notes From the New World (formerly known as In My Non-Expert Opinion) — for a conversation that starts with birth charts and ends somewhere near a philosophical revolution. Chelsea is an Internet Philosopher known for asking the bigger questions around the cultural zeitgeist, our inner worlds, and what’s this all FOR? Obsessed with understanding how we think, and how seemingly unrelated things relate HARD (her favorite threads to pull are how reality TV is the ultimate mirror for our psyches — don’t get her started). This one goes deep. Chelsea shares the obsessions currently running her mind, and they’re worth paying attention to. In this episode: * Manifestation is back — but make it real. Why it’s resurging now, and why Saturn meeting Neptune in Aries feels like a permission slip to stop floating in the healing soup and actually do something. * What Heated Rivalry taught Chelsea about the power of media. A show that shifted her more than months of personal development content — so what would it mean if our own work asked the same of its audience? * Supernova: a thinking lab for world builders. No curriculum, no outcomes, sixty sales page rewrites, and tears when she hit publish — Chelsea on what it took to trust an offer that lived entirely outside coaching industry logic. * The circular economy framework. Inspired by a Cape Town market, Chelsea has been applying circular economy thinking to her business: longer containers, genuine collaboration, and community spaces that don’t secretly function as lead gen funnels. * The Enough Quotient. Chelsea’s developing concept around why we keep striving past what we actually need — and what a different relationship to “enough” might change. * Play as a decision-making framework. The question Chelsea now asks herself every day: Is there a more fun, imaginative way to do this?
