POWER-OVER IS DEAD: Jupiter in Leo, Inner Authority & Plutonian Collective Rebirth

POWER-OVER IS DEAD: Jupiter in Leo, Inner Authority & Plutonian Collective Rebirth

This episode is a collection of transits converging in mid-to-late July are all pointing at the same question: Are you your own authority? Or, are you still outsourcing it like you've been conditioned to? The episode traces this through a personal story when an disturbing acoustic awareness landed with me on the dance floor on July 4th. Pluto in Aquarius opposite Jupiter in Leo is the focus on this episode Jupiter entered Leo on June 29 and is now magnifying the Leo archetype — not the pop-culture "main character" version, but Leo as inner authority and creative self-actualization. It's opposing Pluto in Aquarius, the sign of the collective body, which is in the early years of a 20-year transit through that sign. The opposition goes exact July 20, staying within orb roughly through early August. Read as: individual authority (Leo) vs. collective fragmentation/oppression dynamics (Aquarius) — an outward-facing polarity, since oppositions push internal work into social/relational expression. New Moon in Cancer, July 14 is conjunct Mercury retrograde, conjunct the North Node, square Saturn Falls in Gate 62 , a throat-center gate about the trap of over-identifying with thought and language, as Richard Rudd says, "it is not we who abuse language, but language who abuses us". This is framed as an invitation to let decision-making move from mind to body as to not make decisions from conditioned constructs. We touch the moment of clarity that arrives with Mercury cazimi on July 12, the Pluto trine Uranus in Gemini) on July 17 and briefly touch on Venus conjunct the South Node, in Gate 59 of sexuality, in the last moments of the current nodal axis. Gate 59 carries a shadow of dishonesty — read as a call to stop being dishonest with yourself as a prerequisite for reclaiming inner authority. Forward pointer: North Node in Pisces (Gate 55) / South Node in Virgo (Gate 59) as a preview of the 2027–future nodal theme — moving from victim consciousness (Gate 55 shadow) into freedom, tied to the Hawkins map of consciousness (fear/grief/apathy/guilt/shame vs. courage as the bridge to empowerment).

Sensuality is to Sexuality as God is to Religion with Liati Huff

Join me & Liati Huff as we explore sensuality and decondition dance. .. But before you get a taste, JOIN ME FOR: The opening of the ⁠⁠ONLINE COMMUNITY & Human Design Practicum⁠⁠ [https://www.alyssatroob.com/community]. First gathering is August 6th. The next cohort of Sensually Embodied Movement [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeUld5DXVA3RQfy7qZveHdEgG5VAr0aqDRFseqXQ4SSuz3lkA/viewform]with Liati Huff . TRY IT YOURSELF: Get a feel for Sensually embodied dance by tuning into this SENSUAL RIDE Liati playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2iMgbgSxrdY01IRylUZNNv?si=M4h9lHioRGCErF2NRVrQaA]+ put on an eye mask = breathe & FEEL YOURSELF It Started With a Stare Two women met in a coffee shop line — one with a mane of hair she recognized from Instagram, the other with the kind of gaze that says I will eat you without a single word of aggression. That was Alyssa and Liati. Within minutes of introductions, the conversation had already landed on BDSM and embodied dance. Of course it had. Now, sitting at Alyssa's dining room table on a Saturday morning — caffeinated, still a little starlit from a 2am meteor shower, surrounded by plants — they bring that same energy to the mic. This episode is an invitation into the world of Sensually Embodied Dance: a movement practice rooted in the S Factor lineage, where the lights are red, the mirrors are gone, and the only choreography is whatever your body actually wants to say. But it's also something larger. It's about the radical act of slowing down enough to feel. About the difference between moving to look good and moving from truth. About the years of buildup — swallowed nos, performed sweetness, desire hidden even from yourself — that have nowhere to go until you give your body a room to finally say it. Liati walks us through what it looks like to arrive in this practice: the mental chatter of the beginner, the rote loops of the almost-advanced, and eventually — slowly, over months — the experience of pure presence, where the dance happens and you barely remember what you did because you were so completely in it. They talk about lust. Not as a sexual category but as a flavor — that stirring, covetous, I-want-this-so-badly-I-haven't-admitted-it-yet energy that lives in the body long before the mind finds language for it. About the 10 erotic icons of S Factor — innocence, bliss, joyful, lustful, champion, deep soul, ice queen, shy reluctant, dangerous challenger, naughty provocateur — and how the so-called "dark" ones are often exactly where the liberation is hiding. They thread it through Human Design. Through deconditioning. Through the intelligence of the sensing body as compass. Through the understanding that sensuality is to sexuality as God is to religion — the container, not the content. And underneath all of it: you cannot decorate or dress up truth. This one's for anyone who has ever performed being in their body instead of actually being there. Which, if we're honest, is all of us. Unbuckle for this one.

Stop Limping & Get Upright — Taurus New Moon

Uranus just moved into Gemini, and you're feeling the information overload. NOPE! You're not imagining it. This episode is your permission to put the phone down, drop back into your body, and let it lead as you listen. We're diving into the Taurus New Moon at 25 degrees, conjunct Mercury and Uranus in Gemini. This New Moon asks us for something specific: Not more analysis, not another framework, but a return to the pace of the body. In Human Design, this moon falls in Gate 8, the Taurus gate of Style. Not aesthetic style. Real style. Dangerous style. The kind that disrupts. The kind that rises up through you when you stop performing and start actually showing up. Its shadow? Mediocrity. You know, the slow disappearance that happens when you choose staying in the sameness as “safety” over your vivid, alive, and maybe terrifying-to-tell truth. Layered into this lunation is Mars conjunct Chiron in Aries. A new evolutionary sequence is beginning. But, you need to pay attention to catch it. To catch what? The new path. The new way. The just-slightly-diffent movement you could make.Specifically, we are talking about a novel way of meeting the wound of self-assertion. Mars meeting Chiron in Aries has been pressing you into action in exactly the place you've been avoiding. Stop limping. Stop avoiding the action that might hurt, but is actually in alignment. Stand up. We talk about what it actually means to heal the wound of self-assertion, and no, it's not comfortable. But, it is time.  What this looks like is walking upright on an injury that would rather limp. It's saying the emotionally true thing, risking rejection, bringing your heart into the room even when everything in you wants to manage the room & the outcome instead. The former throbbing with sensation; alive. The latter, bland & slowly dead inside. We also look at the North Node's move into Gate 55, the Pisces gate of Spirit and the realest question this new Nodal Axis is asking us: What is the quality of your Spirit? Victim or Freedom? And, if the latter, what does freedom actually mean when you strip away the fantasy of it?  This moon is for anyone who has been ruminating, metabolizing & circling the thing they need to say. It's time. Come back to the body. Speak from there. Stay upright. Breathe.  In this episode: * Uranus into Gemini: dispruption can be destabilizing or liberating * The Taurus New Moon in Gate 8: Your style is your contribution * Mars conjunct Chiron in Aries: Healing the wound of self-assertion * The limp & why staying avoiding pain keeps us stuck * Gate 55 & the North Node: Freedom or Victim?

Chaos Training, Play & Aries Energy

Chaos Training: New Moon in Aries, Gate 3 conjunct Chiron Episode by Alyssa | Magick in the Mundane Podcast | April 16, 2025 This episode is Alyssa's love letter to the April 17th New Moon in Aries at 27°, sitting in Human Design Gate 3 (Difficulty at the Beginning), conjunct Chiron — the wounded healer — and square Pluto. She calls this lunation "Chaos Training," and the name says everything.The central thesis: we have collectively lost the ability to play, and that loss is a wound around our right to exist boldly, playfully, and instinctually in our bodies. Gate 3 lives in the Sacral Center, the seat of life force energy and Eros. It's primordial, pre-narrative, pulse-on-pulse-off energy that doesn't know it's at the beginning — it is the beginning. And the beginning, by nature, is chaotic. Confused. Unmapped. Alyssa argues that we've been conditioned to perceive chaos as a problem to be solved through control, when in reality chaos is the medium of creation. Order is already there — we just can't see it until we're willing to be in our bodies, feel the rhythm, and play with what's alive. The Pluto square adds pressure. Pluto in Aquarius brings an information deluge that, without embodiment, keeps us stuck in the shadow of Gate 41 — hyperactive, dreamy, overwhelmed, unable to materialize anything. She weaves in the Channel of Mutation (36-0 defined), the Channel of Community (37-40), Terrence McKenna, Richard Rudd's Gene Keys, the Gate of Innocence (25), and the Gate of Limitation (60) to paint a picture of a collective moment: individual transformation seeding community mutation. The invitation is simple and radical — get in your body, practice being with sensation, dance in the discomfort, and trust that you were made for this.

Birth Pangs of Embodied Equality & Collective Emotional Waves

Through feeling, what is novel & coming will be birthed through us. S ince December 2025, 100% of us, collectively, have been under the influence of the tribal circuitry emotional wave called the Channel of Community. This wave is stepping us into embodied equality now through May 2026. If that wasn't demanding enough, January 31st, through the Solar Eclipse into the first days of Pisces season, the collective abstract Wave of Recognition is activated. This wave puts us under pressure to feel for a new way, a new experience, but it can get sidetracked when we come under the illusion that our ultimate potential is to be happy. It's not. This collective wave asks us to feel EVERYTHING , all the way through, then to recognize what we are feeling. Through feeling what is coming will be birthed through us. TUNE IN!
