Kelly: Here we go.
2
:Welcome to the transform with travel
podcast, where we share stories of
3
:personal transformation and life
lessons through our experiences of
4
:traveling and exploring the world.
5
:Travel is the ultimate accelerator
for personal growth, and it can be
6
:the root catalyst for the pivots and
plot twists we make in our lives.
7
:I'm your host, Kelly Tolliday, and
it's my mission to inspire you to
8
:live life to its fullest, travel with
an open mind and heart, and let the
9
:world show you a new perspective.
10
:I'm so grateful you're here with
us today, so let's dive right in.
11
:Happy exploring!
12
:/All right, here we go.
13
:Welcome, Zoe, to the pod.
14
:So excited to have you here.
15
:I'm excited to be here.
16
:Yeah, thanks.
17
:We have known each other for well
over a year now, I believe, in the
18
:same alternative wellness space.
19
:And We've been working together on
local events here in South Florida and
20
:really being able to dive deep into the
world of astrology and, and sharing with
21
:our community what you're passionate
about, which is astrology and tarot.
22
:And you are a professional
astrology reader and tarot
23
:reader here in South Florida.
24
:You also do online
readings, which is amazing.
25
:I know we've done zoom readings before.
26
:And so it's a great way for people
really all over the world to be able
27
:to connect with you and, and share
in your passion and learn more about
28
:your charts and a little bit about
what the stars say in their future.
29
:But yeah, I would love to just open this
time up for you to share a little bit
30
:about your background, like where you're
from and your passion for astrology
31
:and how that all started and how that.
32
:you know, ties into your love for
travel and all the good things.
33
:Zoe: Okay.
34
:Thank you so much for having me here.
35
:I'm really excited to talk about the
two things that I love the most in the
36
:world, which are travel and astrology,
and then my boyfriend, which is third.
37
:But so I started my astrology business
in:
38
:For years, and I loved being a
waitress because I, it gave me the
39
:ability to travel whenever I, you
know, whenever I wanted to, and I
40
:just felt fine with it, you know but
sort of by divine intervention, I
41
:guess I started to get really, really
rested in astrology, maybe in:
42
:And it was just something I did
on the side, something that I
43
:did for friends of mine and my
boyfriend and everything like that.
44
:And then I was working and
everything closed and I was bored
45
:and I wasn't making any money and
I was like, well, what can I do?
46
:I'm like, well, maybe...
47
:Maybe people would want astrology
readings, you know, so I started to
48
:post about it on Instagram and post
my knowledge and my insights and offer
49
:readings very at a very low cost, just
really because I wanted something to do.
50
:And it sort of snowballed from there.
51
:I took a lot of courses, you know,
through that time too, because
52
:I had the leisure time to do it.
53
:I was doing like readings for people.
54
:I was getting really good feedback.
55
:And then when it was time to
go back to work, I was like,
56
:I'm not gonna go back to work.
57
:I'm gonna make this work because it's
something that I really love and I'm
58
:passionate about and I'm good at it.
59
:And I realized that through
this weird covid experience.
60
:And so that's how I started my
professional astrology business.
61
:And I really started meeting people
in the Fort Lauderdale community and
62
:doing in person events, which was
great because I met people in real
63
:life that were interested in the
same things that I was interested in.
64
:I was able to hone my craft
through doing readings in person,
65
:which I feel like is much more.
66
:I love doing online readings because I
can reach many more people, but having
67
:that time to do in person readings,
I think, is really nice as well.
68
:So that's where it started for me.
69
:And then, so, how it sort of
intersects with my love for travel.
70
:Not that it intersects, but it's still, I
always said I never want a job that does
71
:not allow me the time or the space and the
funds to be able to travel when I want.
72
:That's something that I love.
73
:And this astrology business
gives me the ability to do that,
74
:too, because I'm my own boss.
75
:Kelly: Gives you like
the freedom to choose.
76
:When you work, where you work, and you
could even technically work while you're
77
:away too because you can do online work.
78
:And so how did the tarot get involved?
79
:If you can explain a little bit,
because I know we're going to talk a
80
:lot about astrology during the session,
but if you could just explain like
81
:a little bit about what tarot is for
those who are listening that have.
82
:No idea, I've never heard of it.
83
:Zoe: Basically, tarot is a form
of divination where it's cards
84
:that have pictures on them
and they sort of tell a story.
85
:And so you ask a question.
86
:Usually with tarot, it's better to stay
less specific, sort of more general.
87
:The way that I practice it.
88
:And then Tara will kind of just
like read the energy and give you
89
:the message that you need to hear.
90
:I always think that Tara doesn't tell
us anything that we don't already know.
91
:It just is reflected back to us
through a different, you know, conduit.
92
:Either it's me or you're reading for
yourself and you're sort of seeing
93
:your position or your situation
from a different perspective.
94
:So, yeah, it's, it's a, it's a
beautiful form of divination.
95
:Awesome.
96
:Yeah.
97
:Kelly: And with the astrology, also
for those who don't know a lot about
98
:astrology, could you give, just give
a little like basics 101 of, I know we
99
:could go for like five episodes based
just on, just on the basics, but for
100
:someone who has never heard of it before,
what would, how would you describe that?
101
:Zoe: There are many, many schools
of astrology different ways to
102
:interpret the planetary movements.
103
:And it's actually a form of divination
and sort of like sky study that's been
104
:around in every, Culture and recorded
history has studied astrology in some
105
:way, some form of astrology goes back
thousands and thousands of years.
106
:And so it basically is the interpretation
of planetary movements from our position
107
:here on earth, literally how they look,
you know, it's sort of because before
108
:there were telescopes or computers, people
were just watching the movements of, say,
109
:the moon and seeing how when the moon is.
110
:Is full.
111
:There are culmination
points in people's lives.
112
:People are much more emotional, and
there can be outbursts, and then the moon
113
:gets smaller, and we have a new moon,
and, you know, new new ideas begin to
114
:emerge, or bloom, and just literally,
like, watching, watching the sky and
115
:then, of course, it's become much more
technical, but it's still the same.
116
:It's the same property as what is
happening in the sky affects us
117
:here on earth as above so below.
118
:And whereas tarot is much more in my
opinion, again, everybody is different,
119
:but tarot has much more wiggle room.
120
:It's much more open to interpretation.
121
:Astrology is very detailed
and very specific.
122
:Kelly: Yeah.
123
:And I can imagine that would have
taken a lot of time and study on
124
:your part to really hone in on your
125
:Zoe: skills.
126
:Yeah.
127
:I think as an astrologer, you're never
done learning, but for me, I'm never done
128
:learning, and that's the beauty of it.
129
:Astrology can be extremely maddening,
too, because it's confusing.
130
:You know, we all have birth charts, and so
most people are very familiar with their
131
:sun sign, which is obviously will tell
you a lot about, you know, your your ego
132
:and your identity, and how you kind of get
your needs met or move through the world.
133
:But there's so much more than that.
134
:And each of our charts, they're like
snowflakes, you know, they're all
135
:different, but also they're very nuanced.
136
:And so there can be a few aspects
in the chart that say one thing.
137
:And then there are other
aspects that contradict that.
138
:But we are contradictory nuanced people.
139
:So it Can be very sort of
confusing, but in a beautiful way.
140
:And there's always like
another rabbit hole to go down.
141
:And explore.
142
:So yeah, I'll never
stop learning astrology.
143
:Yeah.
144
:And
145
:Kelly: what has that been like for
you, working with people one on one?
146
:It could almost feel like, I mean,
I've had a couple sessions with
147
:you, not just for my own chart,
but also for my daughter's, which
148
:has been such a cool experience.
149
:I love that.
150
:It could almost, I'm sure,
feel like a therapy session.
151
:People were probably unloading
a lot on you or asking, should
152
:I break up with my boyfriend?
153
:Should I move?
154
:And it's like, whoa.
155
:That's a very specific, very thing.
156
:Like you said, nuance, decision
how do you handle that kind of
157
:Zoe: pressure?
158
:So I do feel that the readings that
I do and that anybody, I mean, I've
159
:had readings, readings, and they feel
like therapy sessions, but they are
160
:that way because you're really getting
to know this person very intimately.
161
:And so I always really try to create
like a, a very open and accepting
162
:and safe space for lack of a better
word, you know, for people to
163
:really open up to me and sometimes
they'll be like, Oh, I'm so sorry.
164
:I'm like unloading on you.
165
:I'm like, that's what this is for, you
know so sometimes it's very overwhelming
166
:for me, energetically, emotionally.
167
:It doesn't mean that I don't
love it, but I used to do like
168
:six or seven readings in a day.
169
:I can't do that anymore.
170
:You know, it's just too much and
it, I think it does a disservice
171
:to my, to my clients too.
172
:So I try to light candles.
173
:I try to, in my office, set the mood, set
the tone to just protect my energy as much
174
:as I can and to be open the other person.
175
:The thing is that if, if someone asks
me a specific question, it's not, number
176
:one, I try not to give my opinion.
177
:Even though I have opinions.
178
:I'm a human, you know, but I
try not to give my opinion.
179
:I say based on the astrology,
this would be the most favorable,
180
:a favorable path to take.
181
:There's a possibility for this.
182
:I try to leave it open for them, you
know, because astrology is the synergizing
183
:or the merging of fate and free will.
184
:Both are happening at the same time,
you know, so it's not like everything
185
:is totally in stone laid out for us, and
there are no, even with, with astrology,
186
:with tarot, with psychic readings, there
are no definitive answers, I don't think,
187
:it's, I just want to give people the tools
to make the best decisions for themselves.
188
:Kelly: Yeah.
189
:I really, really love.
190
:I've heard you say that before in
some of our community events, the
191
:synergy of free will and fate.
192
:And I think that just really sums up
the human experience, really, if you
193
:believe in a higher power, right?
194
:There's a lot of people that just hand
everything over to that higher power
195
:and, oh, well, I'm just the victim.
196
:There's, I don't have any say in this.
197
:Or there's some people that
don't believe in power.
198
:Any sort of higher power at all,
whatever, whatever that sounds
199
:like, looks like praise like to
you, but there's some people that
200
:don't believe in anything at all.
201
:And it's like, well, I control
everything and like it's
202
:totally meeting in the middle.
203
:And when you find that little sweet
spot of finding that meat in the
204
:middle, I think it allows for a lot of.
205
:Ease and a lot of grace and a lot of
surrender in your life, which it sounds
206
:like you're a pretty avid traveler.
207
:You definitely need to have a lot of ease
and grace and surrender as you travel.
208
:There's a lot of fate and there's
a lot of free will, but you can't
209
:control everything and you got to
have some semblance of, you know,
210
:a plan while you're traveling or
else sometimes things go crazy.
211
:How does that play out
for you when you travel?
212
:Are you like, kind of go with the flow?
213
:Do you like to have a plan for everything?
214
:How does you taking your practice of
teaching this fate and free will mixture
215
:play out for you while you travel?
216
:Zoe: So I am a self
described control freak.
217
:I really, I really am.
218
:Hey,
219
:Kelly: I'm right over here too.
220
:Don't
221
:Zoe: worry.
222
:I have a real problem with control.
223
:I'm a Taurus Sun Scorpio rising.
224
:Okay, so I have a lot of fixed energy.
225
:Fixed signs hold on to things.
226
:But it depends on the trip, so you
asked in the beginning how astrology
227
:and travel intersect for me.
228
:I will tell you how sort of
astrology played a part in me
229
:really finding myself and having
my first aha moment through travel.
230
:When I was 28, I was
into astrology, but not.
231
:As nearly as deep as, as I am
now, of course, I knew that we're
232
:more than just our sun sign.
233
:I read my horoscope.
234
:I knew I was doing the first initial
studies to, to get to that depth.
235
:And when I was 28, I started to go through
a real, I remember I wrote my journal
236
:cause I keep copious journals actually.
237
:And I wrote like, I feel
like something is coming.
238
:Like I feel this.
239
:Deep internal restlessness that something
is going to happen, and little did I know
240
:that Uranus, which is this planet that
represents expansion, not even expansion,
241
:sudden change, redirection, it's the
piercing sword of truth, it's it gives
242
:you this inner sense of restlessness, like
where you want to break free of anything
243
:that feels limiting or restricting, it
is a outer planet, we can't see it with
244
:the naked eye, it spends eight years in
a sign and it's a very intense energy.
245
:So little did I know when I was feeling
this, Uranus was about to come into
246
:a conjunction, which is with my son.
247
:A conjunction is when two planets are very
close to each other and their energies
248
:are linked or meshed or merged, right?
249
:So the sun is the self.
250
:It's me.
251
:It's my ability to act out in the world.
252
:It's my identity.
253
:And Uranus was there.
254
:Listen, I quit my job.
255
:I was going through really
crazy stuff with my.
256
:Boyfriend, the situationship I
was in who is my boyfriend now.
257
:But it was weird, you know,
it was like everything seemed
258
:like it was in flux and moving.
259
:And I had traveled before and I loved it.
260
:I'd fallen in love with it when I was 25.
261
:We can talk about that if you'd like.
262
:But I never had traveled
solo, like totally alone.
263
:But I had always wanted to.
264
:I was afraid and I was I was, I
was afraid, you know, to do it.
265
:But when I was going through this
deep transformation, I got so
266
:into Buddhism, and I was my, I was
going through an identity crisis.
267
:I was completely changing who, who I was.
268
:And through that, I decided,
Now is the time to go, you know,
269
:because that's what Uranus does.
270
:You're just so ready.

287
:Zoe: /So anyway, I booked
a one way ticket to Berlin.
288
:No plan.
289
:No plan at all.
290
:And my, I had friends that had done this
and I was like, wow, that's so cool.
291
:But I don't know if I could do it.
292
:I'm a control freak.
293
:I don't like any noise when I sleep
and all these things, you know, these
294
:rules I put in, but I was ready.
295
:So I booked the trip.
296
:And it was this beautiful trip of
self discovery and totally Shaking
297
:off that need to control, to know
to micromanage every little thing.
298
:I booked the trip, literally just
booked the ticket to Berlin, the
299
:hostel in Berlin, and that was it.
300
:I didn't know how long I was
gonna be gone, and I got there.
301
:Again, I kept this journal, and it's,
and through reading it, it's like really
302
:scared in the beginning, and then having
all these really beautiful Recognitions,
303
:like I didn't think I'd make friends.
304
:I'm a, I'm a very friendly person,
you know, but I had all these fears
305
:and I went to Berlin and I made all
these friends and then I went from
306
:from there to Prague and I took buses.
307
:I did it real cheap, no plan.
308
:And I was at first afraid or fearful
that it would freak me out, right?
309
:But no, I loved it.
310
:I booked like three nights in Berlin and
I was like, we'll see, but I loved it.
311
:So I stayed for like a week and then
I took this long, like seven hour
312
:bus to Prague and I loved Prague and
I met all these beautiful people.
313
:And then I went to
Krakow, Poland on a bus.
314
:I went to the concentration camps in
Krakow and I was, I'm in recovery.
315
:I don't drink or do drugs anymore,
but I was staying out till six in
316
:the morning and going all these clubs
and I was like, this is it, man.
317
:And through in my journal, one
of the biggest realizations that
318
:I had through that trip was.
319
:Everything is temporary, and that's okay.
320
:And I know that sounds
kind of like yeah, duh.
321
:But I am this person that my whole life
I'm clinging to everything, every person.
322
:Money.
323
:If something's good, I'm like,
it has to last forever, even
324
:though it doesn't, you know.
325
:Through this trip, I'm like getting
goosebumps, through this trip, I met all
326
:these amazing people and I had these great
experiences and I met them, I said goodbye
327
:and I'll never see those people again.
328
:You know, I went to this restaurant
that I liked or this beautiful place
329
:outside and, and I'll never see that
place again and I knew it in the moment
330
:and it was okay and I said bye to it.
331
:That was the most life changing
trip of my entire life.
332
:It was, I ended up being gone
for six weeks and I did Prague,
333
:Budapest, Milan, Slovenia.
334
:Ooh.
335
:Cause I met these guys in Prague and
they're like, we're going to Slovenia.
336
:So I'm like, all right, I'll go.
337
:And, and just all the things that I
feel I need, you know, I had maybe five
338
:outfits that I just kept wearing and,
I think like I have to look like this
339
:when I travel and I have to take these
pictures and I can't repeat an outfit.
340
:That's all BS.
341
:Yeah.
342
:You know, it didn't matter.
343
:And it made me feel really empowered
too, which again could maybe sound
344
:corny, but I don't care because it did.
345
:It was like, I've navigated
myself alone, like no help.
346
:Just my little phone app.
347
:And Flixbus and Hostelworld
and, you know, Rain Air or
348
:whatever, like the cheap airlines.
349
:And I did it, you know.
350
:You could drop me anywhere
and I could do anything.
351
:That's how I felt at the end of that trip.
352
:I can do anything.
353
:I can make friends anywhere.
354
:And it was extremely,
like, it was the best.
355
:So that was those are some
really beautiful realizations
356
:I've had through solo travel.
357
:And the first time that I
actually went to Europe, I was 25.
358
:So I got clean.
359
:When I was 21, I was young, but it
was definitely time and then, you
360
:know, working and kind of creating
my life here in Florida because I'm
361
:from New Jersey, and I had a friend
who was, I call her my travel fairy
362
:godmother, because she just did it
all before me, and I look up to her.
363
:So she was going to Greece,
and I was like, Ask me to go
364
:and I was like, yeah, I'll go.
365
:So I saved up all my money.
366
:We went to Greece.
367
:It was a tour and I was young, so we
stayed in these really gross hostels
368
:and but it was fun, you know, went all
around like island hopping in Greece and
369
:I fell in love with travel and that was
my thing, you know so I didn't leave the
370
:country till I was 25, but I once I did.
371
:I was just hooked.
372
:So and I, after that at 26, I went
to, I met them in Croatia, my friends
373
:who were traveling indefinitely.
374
:But before I went to Croatia, I
was like, well, let me go to Paris
375
:for a minute and just by myself.
376
:And so that was dipping
my toe in at first.
377
:And I was like, this is great.
378
:And then that big trip at 28 was
my first real solo, long term trip.
379
:And that was like, I, and how astrology
played the part was Uranus, breaking
380
:me free of those fears, those limiting
beliefs, and just giving me the
381
:need to be like, yeah, I'll book it.
382
:I'll do it now.
383
:Yeah.
384
:Kelly: Oh my God.
385
:There's like so much to unpack.
386
:I know.
387
:I'm sorry.
388
:No, I'm so, I'm stoked.
389
:I'm excited.
390
:Okay.
391
:I want to just touch on the
travel fairy godmother, because
392
:I think everyone has that.
393
:And I do think like any tipping point
in your life, there's someone there
394
:kind of encouraging you to take the
next step or almost kind of daring you
395
:to take the next step, challenging you.
396
:And it can be very easy
to say, no, no, no.
397
:I've.
398
:I'm building my life here.
399
:I'm busy.
400
:I got work.
401
:I got this.
402
:But a lot of the people that I've
spoken to over the years is just
403
:like, there's that one person
that they can thank directly.
404
:Like you've changed the course of my
life just from extending an invitation.
405
:So I do think it's such a cool reminder
to invite the person, like invite the
406
:friend who might not go even, you know,
invite the person to the party, even if
407
:they always say no, because you never
know how much it can change their life.
408
:I love that you journaled
through your trip.
409
:I think that's a such a powerful way of
really cementing your mindset of where
410
:you were at that time and even if it's
a really challenging time being able to
411
:write that out and have that on paper
and just be able to go back and be
412
:like, wow, like this is where I was at.
413
:And like you said, that transformation
of feeling restless and unsure of
414
:what your next step was and really
in like this flux chaos and then all
415
:the way to the end of that six weeks
feeling empowered and confident.
416
:It's such a.
417
:beautiful transformation for
you to have been able to have.
418
:Yeah.
419
:When you realized that Uranus was where
it was in your chart at that time,
420
:were you already into astrology then?
421
:And you looked at that and was
like, Oh, this makes sense.
422
:Or was this years later?
423
:And you were like, okay, I
want to take a look at what
424
:was happening during that time.
425
:Where was your astrology
journey during that period?
426
:It
427
:Zoe: was, Scratching the surface it wasn't
nearly as deep, it was maybe the next
428
:year, where I was like, oh my god, duh, of
course, of course, it makes total sense,
429
:it, that was an astrology aha moment
for me, because a lot of times for me,
430
:like, I I think most people, but you feel
things the most when you, when they're
431
:personal, or you, I understand things the
most when I can personalize them yeah.
432
:I really love talking to people about
their Saturn returns, because I've been
433
:through a Saturn return, and I, and
Uranus conjunct, if I have a client who
434
:has Uranus conjunct their sun, or about
to conjunct their sun, I'm like, okay,
435
:let's talk, let's really dive into this.
436
:So yeah, it was, it
was about a year later.
437
:Kelly: Awesome.
438
:Getting into kind of the nitty
gritty of astrology and travel and if
439
:someone were to look up their chart.
440
:So can you just explain very quickly
what the difference is between a birth
441
:chart and what a current chart, like
what currently you're going through
442
:just so people could know if they're
looking up online what they need to
443
:Zoe: look for?
444
:So a birth chart is all you have to
do is put in your birthday, your time
445
:of birth, and your place of birth.
446
:I use whole sign houses, it's easier.
447
:But whatever, you can Whole sign houses.
448
:Whole sign houses.
449
:That's one sign equals one house.
450
:Oh, okay.
451
:Yeah.
452
:Okay.
453
:But you do that and it gives you what
calculates a chart for the planetary
454
:positions at the moment of your birth.
455
:And so that is the road map of your life.
456
:Nothing can happen.
457
:In our lives that isn't already
written in the birth chart.
458
:So that is a picture of a person,
their psyche, their personality,
459
:and their direct life experience.
460
:That's the birth chart.
461
:Then a transit chart is a bi wheel,
which is your birth chart in the middle,
462
:and then the current transiting planets
set on top and we see how the planets
463
:that are moving in the sky right now
are interacting with your birth chart.
464
:They're like pinging different planets.
465
:So you know we can experience life
changes, emotional changes, realizations,
466
:whatever, you know, through those
transits, the relationships that the
467
:moving planets have with our birth
chart, which is always stationary.
468
:Kelly: Okay, cool.
469
:So, with astrology and travel, a lot
of people know there's zodiac signs.
470
:Like you said, a lot of
people know oh, I'm a Leo.
471
:Oh, I'm a Virgo.
472
:Yes.
473
:But actually, there's so much
more, there's so many layers
474
:involved with that, that.
475
:The sun only represents a certain part
of your being, a part of who you are,
476
:and we don't have to get too much into
the nitty gritty, but if someone were
477
:to look at their chart, what would they
be looking for with signs of, you know,
478
:big adventure ahead or moving overseas
or some sort of life transit, maybe
479
:not where they're currently living?
480
:Are there certain signs in the
chart where like, those are movers,
481
:those are adventurers, those are
people who like to fly by the
482
:seat of their pants type of thing?
483
:Or maybe if you can explain a
little bit of the houses, what
484
:that means, kind of share whatever
you'd like to share about it.
485
:Yeah.
486
:Zoe: So, let's start with signs.
487
:There are certain signs, Sagittarius,
Sagittarius placements, sun, moon, rising.
488
:Because Sagittarius, it's the sign,
it's depicted by the archer, right?
489
:So the archer is like pulling back that
arrow and shooting it as far as it can go.
490
:Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter,
which is the planet of growth, and
491
:abundance, and travel, and adventure,
and experience changing your
492
:consciousness through new experience.
493
:And oftentimes that's education.
494
:and travel.
495
:So Sagittarius's do tend
to really enjoy travel.
496
:Generally, if they don't like
traveling physically, then travel
497
:of the mind and, and that expansion.
498
:And every sign can like to travel.
499
:Definitely.
500
:The fire signs, like the movement.
501
:So, you know, sometimes fire signs
are a little bit more spontaneous
502
:and ready to just like book that
trip or, you know, do this, the
503
:thing that they've never done before.
504
:Which ones
505
:Kelly: are fire
506
:Zoe: signs?
507
:Oh, I'm sorry.
508
:No, it's okay.
509
:Sagittarius, Aries, and,
centuries, Aries, and Leo.
510
:Cool.
511
:And then in the chart, there are two
houses that are associated with travel.
512
:So there are 12 houses, just to preface.
513
:In astrology, they all represent
different areas of life, different
514
:little microcosms of our lives.
515
:And we have the third house,
which rules many things,
516
:including short distance travel.
517
:Okay.
518
:So that's car travel, train, train travel.
519
:That's more, you know, not going from like
Paris to, Milan, maybe, but it's short
520
:distances traveling within your community
and things like that, taking the bus.
521
:Then the ninth house, which opposes the
third house, it's directly opposite,
522
:is the house of long distance travel.
523
:So plane travel, international travel,
things like that, and both of those
524
:houses rule more than just Those
things, but for these purpose, you
525
:know, for this, for the purpose of
travel, that's where I would look as
526
:well as so everyone has an astrology
chart with a sign ruling each house.
527
:So if say for me, my ninth house is ruled
by the moon, so whenever the moon you
528
:know, if there's a big transit to my moon.
529
:There can, that could potentially
be, you know, a time where I decide
530
:I want to travel or a big full moon.
531
:It could be like a realization.
532
:I've seen for people to kind
of take the leap and pull the
533
:trigger on an important travel.
534
:Experience would be a transit,
which is when a moving planet
535
:is traversing their ninth house.
536
:So say Jupiter is moving through the
ninth house, you know, it's sort of
537
:like, okay, I'm going to do it because
the ninth house is this house of
538
:expansion and doing it and going far.
539
:The eclipses, eclipses are
full of new moons on steroids.
540
:I like to say they're
much more powerful than a.
541
:Normal full or new moon, they happen
on what are called the nodes, which
542
:are these points of intensification.
543
:And so if you have eclipses in your
third and ninth houses, that can be,
544
:I mean, oftentimes that is, those are
times when people travel more either
545
:for work, for pleasure, depends on other
aspects in the chart, but that's a big
546
:indicator, big transit to the ninth or
a big transit to your ninth house ruler.
547
:Kelly: Okay.
548
:Yeah, that's that makes sense.
549
:Okay.
550
:Cause I definitely
think some people think.
551
:Oh, it's just the Sagittarius
who likes to travel and then, but
552
:it's like you said, like there's
so many more nuances involved.
553
:And I think for those who are just
starting to get into astrology, you would,
554
:you might have heard about houses before.
555
:And I think that's actually,
in my opinion, my, my very
556
:humble opinion of astrology.
557
:That's where The bulk of where you
start learning so much more about
558
:yourself is where different planets
and signs are starting to live.
559
:So like you said, if you find something
in your third house or your ninth house
560
:transiting, like a planet transiting
through there, an eclipse in those
561
:houses and that's, that's something that
you would be looking for if you were
562
:starting to look at somebody's chart.
563
:Let's say you were doing a reading for
me and you were like, oh, I can see
564
:that this is happening in those houses.
565
:Yes.
566
:I think You might have some big
international travel coming up soon
567
:or say yes to that big international
568
:Zoe: trip.
569
:Yeah.
570
:Or if you were to say, you know like
my chart, the moon rules the ninth.
571
:So Jupiter or even Venus, like a
positive, benevolent, benefic planet,
572
:were, you know, crossing over that
moon, I'd say, oh, maybe there'll be
573
:some, you know, opportunities to travel
or say yes to that travel experience.
574
:Another one would be I don't want
to get too, technical, but there
575
:are these there's an ancient
technique called annual perfections.
576
:If you've had a reading with me, you
know that I use these very strongly.
577
:And annual perfections tell
us every year of our lives is
578
:ruled by a different house.
579
:So every year we turn a year older,
a different house in our chart
580
:is highlighted and activated.
581
:And the themes and topics related
to that house are also activated.
582
:So if you are in a ninth house perfection
year that's big time for travel too.
583
:Oh,
584
:Kelly: that's so cool.
585
:Wow.
586
:I love that.
587
:Yeah.
588
:Awesome.
589
:If you were to, obviously we're
highly recommending somebody
590
:take a session with you.
591
:Oh, yeah.
592
:Of course.
593
:But if somebody was just like
listening right now and they're
594
:like, I have no idea what I am.
595
:I'm really interested.
596
:What's something super
quick that they could do?
597
:Like, is there a website that you
recommend just to look at their chart and
598
:Zoe: see that?
599
:My favorite would be Astro.
600
:Dash not slash seek dot com
and it's a free software.
601
:It's what I use.
602
:And it's got really nice,
clear looking charts.
603
:Super easy to use.
604
:And you just put your, your birth data in
the birth chart calculator, switch it to
605
:whole sign houses in the drop down menu.
606
:And the beautiful thing about Astro Seek.
607
:Is that, you know, it kind of will
probably look like Chinese to somebody
608
:or a language that you don't understand,
because it is, if you're new.
609
:So if you scroll to the bottom of
the page, it'll give you descriptors
610
:of each of the your sign placements,
the aspects, it gets really detailed,
611
:and you can also do a transit chart.
612
:on AstroSeq.
613
:That's what I use when I'm doing readings.
614
:Kelly: So it gives you kind of
like the cliff notes down below for
615
:somebody that's just kind of trying
to figure out what all the different
616
:symbols and signs mean and everything.
617
:Awesome.
618
:Zoe: And if you, obviously most people
know their sun sign, but if there's
619
:another planet that you want to dive
into, I always suggest the moon.
620
:Because the moon sign is deeply personal,
I mean, think the moon comes out at night,
621
:you know, when it's a, it represents
who we are in private and not only that,
622
:but our instinctual nature and what
we need to feel safe and secure and
623
:how we nurture and how we, how we need
to receive nurture to feel protected.
624
:And so I remember when I read about my
moon sign, I was like, this astrology
625
:stuff is definitely hitting because
I always tell people if I were to
626
:describe your sun sign to someone that
knew you a little, they would probably
627
:be like, yeah, that sounds like Kelly.
628
:But if I were to describe your moon
sign to someone else, oftentimes
629
:I, because it's so personal.
630
:Like your best friend would know,
your mom would know, you of course,
631
:but it's sort of like who you
are when your defenses are down.
632
:I always say our moon, we embody our
moon sign when we're drunk, you know,
633
:because we don't have those walls
generally, but it's, it's deeply personal.
634
:And so you can gain a lot of
insight and just a feeling of like
635
:you know, being seen, you know,
by reading about your moon sign.
636
:So that would be my suggestion.
637
:And
638
:Kelly: so you mentioned before you
said, I'm a Scorpio sun and Taurus
639
:moon and something else rising.
640
:Could you describe, we talked a
little bit about the sun being
641
:your ego and your outside self.
642
:And then your moon is more of that
private safe space, your inside self.
643
:And then what, what, what
would rising be for somebody?
644
:Zoe: So, yeah, that's the big three.
645
:Yeah, big three.
646
:So, I'm a Taurus Sun.
647
:Kelly: Oh, Taurus, that was it.
648
:Taurus.
649
:Zoe: That's okay.
650
:Taurus sun, April 20th birthday,
right at the beginning of Taurus
651
:Pisces moon and Scorpio rising.
652
:So yes, and I always tell people like the
sun just like cliff notes is your bones.
653
:It's who you are at your deepest level.
654
:It's your identity.
655
:The energy of your sun sign is
sprinkled into everything that you do.
656
:It is you.
657
:It's the essence of you.
658
:The moon sign again, it's your internal
reality, what you need, how you express
659
:your feelings, and then the ascendant,
the rising sign was the sign that was
660
:literally coming over the horizon at
the moment of your birth, and in the
661
:east, coming over the eastern horizon at
the moment of your birth, and so it was
662
:rising, you know, and so in the birth
chart it represents it's like our skin.
663
:It's how we interact with the world,
how the world interacts with us.
664
:Whereas the sun is who we are
at our deepest, most core level.
665
:The rising sign is kind
of how we greet the world.
666
:It's our forward facing personality.
667
:And we are a blend, you know, sometimes
you'll see on whatever, you'll see online.
668
:There's a lot of charlatans
in the, you know, that just.
669
:Don't really know much, but and
there's so many people that do, but
670
:they will say like, oh, your rising
sign is like the mask you wear.
671
:It, no, it's you.
672
:It's just your, your personality.
673
:It's what other people
see of your personality.
674
:And so that would be the
difference between the three.
675
:Kelly: Yeah.
676
:Perfect.
677
:One more thing I wanted to ask before
we kind of get into our own charts.
678
:We thought it would be really fun to
look as an example for our charts so
679
:we could actually talk about this and
real, you know, not just hypothetical.
680
:We're actually looking at a chart
and we can explain what it means.
681
:You mentioned when a client says, Oh,
I'm going through my Saturn return.
682
:And you were like, I know all about Saturn
return because I've been through one.
683
:Right.
684
:Can you explain a little bit
about what a Saturn return is?
685
:And do you often see people taking Saturn?
686
:Like leaps of faith of travel during
that time or is that a completely
687
:different time in someone's life?
688
:Zoe: Okay.
689
:So Saturn is a planet that takes 29.
690
:5 years to go through every zodiac sign.
691
:So it's a, it's a slower moving planet.
692
:It's the last of the visible planets.
693
:You can't see any planet past Saturn.
694
:And so that kind of just is a
descriptor of what it is because
695
:Saturn is about boundaries.
696
:It's literally the boundary of the, the
visible you know, planetary universe.
697
:And so in our lives, it represents the
boundaries that we come up against.
698
:It represents boundaries that we create.
699
:It's hard structures,
responsibility, maturity.
700
:Saturn is I call him Daddy Saturn.
701
:You know, it's like authoritarian.
702
:It's the opposite of Jupiter in that
Saturn wants us to look at things as they
703
:really are and not as we want them to be.
704
:You know, there are no
rose colored glasses.
705
:And so during the Saturn return.
706
:It happens between 28 and 30
and it's when Saturn returns to
707
:where it was when you were born.
708
:And it's a two and a half year transit
because Saturn spends two and a half
709
:years in a sign and then it moves on.
710
:And we will have two Saturn returns
in our lifetime, three if we live till
711
:our late eighties or, or, you know.
712
:90.
713
:And so the first Saturn return
happens again between 28 and 30.
714
:And it's because Saturn is
this planet that represents
715
:responsibility and facing reality.
716
:It's generally a period.
717
:It's the threshold from
youth to adulthood.
718
:It's when we have to a deal with the
consequences of our actions . If we have
719
:been, you know, however many years, taking
care of business, if we have been doing
720
:our work and you know asserting ourselves
in our relationships and allowing people,
721
:people in to know us, but, you know, in
sort of a healthy way, then we can benefit
722
:from those relationships we formed.
723
:We can benefit from all the hard work
that we've put in, but if not, you know,
724
:then we really have to face the reality
and, and make the necessary changes.

mission is to create an environment where

:family and work can exist in harmony.
733
:The best part to me as a mom is that
you can pop in and breastfeed your
734
:baby or have lunch with your toddler,
if you like, and then pop back into
735
:your office for your zoom meeting,
which I think is so key, especially
736

emerging out of the newborn bubble and
738
:getting back to the business you love.

flexibility to work in a beautifully
740
:designed, ergonomic private office

being steps away from your child.

:They have monthly themes that they base
their lessons on, like in September, they
743
:are exploring the animals of the Amazon,
which I obviously love when children get
744
:opportunities to learn more about the
world and build a sense of curiosity.
745
:Child and Company offers weekly
and monthly classes and events,
746
:like some beanie, Music class for

763
:Zoe: /Saturn wants us to build
a strong foundation in our lives
764
:of, and it's all encompassing.
765
:It's money.
766
:It's our, career path, our plans for the
future, our relationships, so anything,
767
:any cracks in our foundations during the
Saturn return, it becomes so glaring.
768
:Anything you've been sweeping
under the rug or tolerating but not
769
:happy with, you gotta deal with it.
770
:So some people experience the Saturn
return quite nicely and some people
771
:don't, and oftentimes it's in the middle.
772
:You'd be doing really good in
like, you know, a few areas and
773
:then have to clean up messes in
the other ones, and that's okay.
774
:I found a lot of times, like
the early adulthood milestones.
775
:The textbook ones will happen or
be at least initiated, like started
776
:during the Saturn return, getting
married, having kids, solidifying
777
:yourself in a job beginning to save for
retirement, like those things, right?
778
:And so for your question on travel,
the Saturn return is it's different
779
:for everybody, but It tends to be
a time where we're kind of batting
780
:down the hatches and doing the things
that we have to do and then the
781
:things that we want to do come after.
782
:So it depends, you know
783
:Kelly: yeah, cause I, I remember my Saturn
return on, you know, I've, I've always
784
:been big into travel and wanting to see
the world and I remember feeling such
785
:a push pull during that time because my
husband and I were just like, Just wanting
786
:to book a trip to Mexico and book this
and book that, but we got a six month
787
:old, so we can't, or we're renovating
our house, so we can't, and it was just
788
:such this, Identity shift for us of like,
okay, this is the next stage in our life.
789
:And it's not that we can not ever
travel again because justice,
790
:that won't ever happen, but it was
definitely a push pull in my mind.
791
:Like where's that free spirit again.
792
:And that Saturn return was really
forcing me to look at, like you said,
793
:that cracks in that foundation or
not even just so cracks, just like.
794
:What do I need to do to build the next
stage of my life so that I can enjoy
795
:that later, like you mentioned, that
796
:Zoe: is so sad.
797
:Richard, it's planning for the future.
798
:It's doing the responsible thing.
799
:The responsible thing is maybe not
spending X amount on going to Thailand.
800
:It's like, Oh, we need a crib and we
need to put money in our daughters.
801
:That's it's that like deal with the stuff
you have to deal with first and then
802
:let's see what's left over, you know, and
then that's very much like a great you.
803
:Description of the sign of
804
:Kelly: return.
805
:Cool.
806
:All right.
807
:So we are going to look at our charts.
808
:We are.
809
:So Zoe is pulling up my birth chart.
810
:She's taking a look at what it shows in
my birth chart in terms of indicating
811
:either a life of travel or adventure or
what certain times in my life might show
812
:that there's more travel than others.
813
:Just to kind of show you how influential
astrology can be or how it can almost
814
:just indicate where in your life
you're going to have adventure or not.
815
:Zoe: And it can show the
possibilities for things, you
816
:know, it's the likelihood, right?
817
:There's more of a likelihood.
818
:Likelihood.
819
:Yes.
820
:And so the first thing that
I noticed with your chart, We
821
:want to look at the ninth house.
822
:Because the ninth house is the house
of international travel, and so you
823
:have Aries ruling your ninth house.
824
:There's no planet in your ninth
house but that's okay because
825
:we're never going to have a planet
in every house in our charts.
826
:There's more houses than there
are planets, so it's still active
827
:and we can still gain a lot of
information from the ninth just by
828
:looking at the sign that rules it.
829
:So you have Aries, which is the initiator.
830
:It's taking chances.
831
:It's taking the risk.
832
:It's doing the thing in the ninth house.
833
:So.
834
:It can be impulsive too.
835
:You know, maybe when you were younger,
it's like, yeah, let's just do it.
836
:I don't care.
837
:Kelly: Oh, really?
838
:Yeah.
839
:And you have
840
:Zoe: a very strong Leo.
841
:So it's like, no one can tell you only
you can be the authority on if you're
842
:going to, to make the decision or not.
843
:And of course, this more like
impulsive act first, think
844
:later when it comes to travel or
making big decisions that can it.
845
:get much more tempered with time.
846
:But if you think about maybe, you know,
when you started traveling another thing
847
:is of course, we're going to want to
look at the planet that rules the ninth
848
:house to get, to get us more information.
849
:So you have of course, Mars
is the ruler of your ninth.
850
:Where is it?
851
:You have Mars in Gemini.
852
:In trine to the moon.
853
:So you've lived abroad, right?
854
:Yes.
855
:Okay.
856
:Yeah, because having Mars as the ruler
of the ninth house, which is the house
857
:of international travel, in trine, which
is a flowing and harmonious aspect to
858
:the moon, which is the general signifier
of the home, you could be a person that
859
:has a, and it's an air trine, which is
kind of more like flowing and fluid.
860
:You could have an easier time,
just picking up and leaving,
861
:you know, and saying goodbye to
friends or goodbye to a place.
862
:And it's like, all right,
I'll be back, I think, but I'm
863
:going to go do this thing now.
864
:Because Mars is like among
other things, it represents
865
:like it severs and separates.
866
:So sort of saying having an
easier time, like picking up and.
867
:Returning or not, but just going,
you know, when I saw that Mars
868
:trying the moon, I'm like, yeah.
869
:Okay.
870
:Kelly: Yeah, that's that's really crazy.
871
:Because yes, we have lived abroad.
872
:We've lived in Australia.
873
:We've lived over in Thailand.
874
:It's also me and my
husband talk about a lot.
875
:He's very similar and I don't know
what his chart says, but if something
876
:bad happens, like recently, we had
multiple water leaks in our house
877
:and had to renovate our whole house.
878
:Immediately, both of us were like, well,
we're just going to move to Costa Rica.
879
:Like it wasn't even a question.
880
:I was like, okay, bye.
881
:And so that is really crazy to
me that that's actually showing
882
:in my chart that that tendency to
want to just pick up and leave is.
883
:Is showing there.
884
:Zoe: Oh, yeah, definitely.
885
:Wow.
886
:And then I actually will just pop
over to mine because just to talk
887
:about the ninth house, right?
888
:So here's my ninth house.
889
:And so my ninth house is ruled by cancer.
890
:It's a sign that represents like
things we want to nurture and protect
891
:and build structures around, right?
892
:So having cancer rule my ninth
house, I want to nurture and
893
:protect and build structures around
my ability to travel even in the
894
:beginning of this, you know, session.
895
:Thank you.
896
:I said, I need a job and
I've always known this.
897
:I need a job that will allow
me, afford me the ability to go.
898
:And I don't want somewhere
where I sit in an office and
899
:I have to ask for my week off.
900
:I can't do that.
901
:So, and I always will make
decisions about work based on that.
902
:So I want to nurture and
protect my ability to travel.
903
:I also have Jupiter, which is the planet
that is connected to travel, exploration,
904
:growth in cancer in the ninth house.
905
:And actually Jupiter is the ruler
of my second house of money.
906
:So where do I like to spend money?
907
:On travel.
908
:On travel.
909
:Yeah.
910
:And, and like classes and courses,
because that's the ninth house too.
911
:And just to get a little bit deeper
to talk about annual perfections.
912
:So when you are 28, you're in
what's called a fifth house year.
913
:So that means that the topics of
the fifth house tend to play a
914
:bigger role in your life, but annual
perfections get a lot deeper than that.
915
:It also activates any planets
that are in that house, right?
916
:So my 28th year was very active because
I have 1, 2, 3 planets in the 5th,
917
:including the ruler of my 9th house.
918
:So this wasn't the first time I
ever traveled at 28, but it was
919
:the first time I traveled alone.
920
:I took the risk.
921
:I took the chance.
922
:And that was when that moon
ruler of the 9th was activated.
923
:So that's like a, Kind of an indication
of a transit or you know, a predictive
924
:activation that if I would see somebody
in either a ninth house here or in
925
:a fifth house, you're with the moon.
926
:They're ruling at the ninth.
927
:I'd say you're going.
928
:You're going somewhere like you should.
929
:Kelly: Wow.
930
:So it's it's like watching you even
just like pointing to the different
931
:houses and the different lines equaling
trines and conjunctions and squares and
932
:everything It's so much of a piecing
of the puzzle of like the tapestry
933
:of someone's life and just asking
questions, like you said, like, Oh,
934
:are, did you, you lived abroad, right?
935
:And it's like, yeah, actually I did.
936
:It's not like psychic where it's
like, you are going to do this.
937
:You're just asking the questions
to kind of see where their life was
938
:and where it might be beneficial
or easier for them to do something.
939
:Like it might be an easier
year for, let's say.
940
:Me, like it might be an easier year
for me to travel because of XYZ.
941
:It's not saying like I am going to
travel, it's just like this is going
942
:to be a really beneficial year for
you to travel, and I really love
943
:Zoe: that.
944
:That's the thing about astrology.
945
:It tells you the possibilities and also
where things could be a little bit more
946
:tricky and you should wait, you know?
947
:That's great for that too.
948
:It's excellent for timing, timing,
making big decisions, initiating certain
949
:projects or, you know, new things.
950
:You can kind of look or consult an
astrologer and say like, when would
951
:be the best time for me to do this?
952
:And when should I just like, Back
up and relax and take a beat.
953
:So it's, it's a really amazing self
reflective tool as well as, cause
954
:it can tell you a lot about your
psyche and your, your emotional state
955
:and who you are inside, but also
like external stuff too, it can be
956
:really great at helping you plan.
957
:Kelly: Yeah.
958
:I actually, this, you're literally
just ringing a bell in my head right
959
:now, but I remember when we had a
session, I think it was early March
960
:this year, you did my transit chart
and you were saying now is a very.
961
:Interesting time for you because people
this year will start to see you in a
962
:different, not necessarily a different
industry, but just start noticing the
963
:work that you've been doing and and they
might just be noticing your strengths
964
:and and what you're putting out in the
world and I think I asked you like I
965
:was like, Oh, I think I want to put out
a course, when would be a good time?
966
:And you said.
967
:Early September, it would be the
best time to push something new out.
968
:And you want to know when this podcast, I
mean, this will already have been live by
969
:then, but it's launching on September 5th.
970
:And how crazy is that?
971
:That it's not necessarily a course,
but it is, you know, it's just like
972
:how nuts that like, Definitely.
973
:You said that to me back in March
and not once did I ever think I'd be
974
:creating a podcast this early, at least.
975
:Yeah.
976
:And here we are,
977
:Zoe: so.
978
:Well, you got the North Node
in your ninth house, which is
979
:the house of How old are you?
980
:I
981
:Kelly: am
982
:Zoe: 31.
983
:Next year, the podcast will probably
do even better because you're going
984
:to be in a ninth house here next year.
985
:It's like publishing.
986
:It doesn't have to be like you know an
article, it can be like a podcast getting
987
:your voice out to the wider world.
988
:But you, you began to have eclipses.
989
:We had our first eclipse in Aries in
April and the North node is there now.
990
:Kelly: Yeah, everyone
stay tuned for next year.
991
:Yeah.
992
:subscribe.
993
:Rate and review , right?
994
:Yes.
995
:Oh, that's so interesting.
996
:Awesome.
997
:Alright, well that was awesome.
998
:Thank you so much.
999
:I appreciate that.
:
00:44:35,523 --> 00:44:38,360
Is there anything Else that you would
wanna share in terms of astrology
:
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,255
or travel or just anything that's
like on your mind the, before we
:
00:44:42,255 --> 00:44:42,665
Zoe: wrap up?
:
00:44:42,945 --> 00:44:44,715
There was a point I wanted
to get to that I didn't.
:
00:44:44,775 --> 00:44:45,015
Yeah.
:
00:44:45,065 --> 00:44:49,225
Just to say that The beautiful thing
about travel, I'm real keyed up
:
00:44:49,225 --> 00:44:51,675
on travel because I'm leaving for
Europe on Monday, I'm so excited.
:
00:44:51,995 --> 00:44:54,345
But I was just chatting with my
friends the other day and talking
:
00:44:54,345 --> 00:44:58,255
about how as an adult, you often
don't do things for the first time.
:
00:44:58,525 --> 00:45:03,105
You know it's, things get kind of
routine and you've lived enough where
:
00:45:03,105 --> 00:45:06,625
it's, things aren't, don't feel super
new and, and fresh all the time.
:
00:45:06,635 --> 00:45:11,815
But travel is something where it
makes me feel so alive and it gives
:
00:45:11,815 --> 00:45:14,155
me the ability even until I'm old.
:
00:45:14,430 --> 00:45:19,670
To do to go to a place to eat food to
have an experience that I've never had
:
00:45:19,670 --> 00:45:24,670
before and I just think that is the
most one of the most amazing, exciting,
:
00:45:24,700 --> 00:45:29,250
exhilarating things about travel is
that it makes me feel present and alive
:
00:45:29,510 --> 00:45:32,750
and and Like, I'm doing things I've
never done before and it just feels so
:
00:45:32,750 --> 00:45:33,180
Kelly: exciting.
:
00:45:33,180 --> 00:45:33,300
Yeah.
:
00:45:33,300 --> 00:45:33,780
Yeah.
:
00:45:33,780 --> 00:45:37,660
And, and you mentioned when you were 80
years old or, you know, like, and looking
:
00:45:37,670 --> 00:45:41,870
back and, and these types of experiences
are going to stick out in your minds
:
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,430
more vividly because they're novel,
because they're new and you're taking in
:
00:45:45,430 --> 00:45:50,990
so many different sensory, like, how, I
don't know for you, but for me at least.
:
00:45:51,410 --> 00:45:53,940
The days when I'm traveling seem so long.
:
00:45:53,940 --> 00:45:54,250
Oh my god.
:
00:45:54,250 --> 00:45:54,960
What do you mean?
:
00:45:54,980 --> 00:45:56,390
Like, what do you mean it's only 3 p.
:
00:45:56,390 --> 00:45:56,590
m.?
:
00:45:56,590 --> 00:45:58,450
I've done like 5 million things.
:
00:45:58,450 --> 00:45:58,550
Yeah.
:
00:45:58,650 --> 00:46:02,940
Even if you're just reading a book in
your villa or you're having a cup of
:
00:46:02,970 --> 00:46:06,130
coffee at a cafe, like, time seems to
slow down a little bit because you're
:
00:46:06,130 --> 00:46:08,290
taking in so many bits of information.
:
00:46:08,350 --> 00:46:08,630
Right.
:
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,310
And that's the beauty of being
able to go somewhere new.
:
00:46:11,540 --> 00:46:11,910
Yeah.
:
00:46:12,020 --> 00:46:12,340
Yeah.
:
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:13,560
And like, take that sense of adventure.
:
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:14,200
Not just.
:
00:46:15,050 --> 00:46:17,770
Actually, this is a question I wanted
to ask was what I was about to say
:
00:46:17,770 --> 00:46:20,360
is taking that sense of adventure and
bringing it back home because not,
:
00:46:20,420 --> 00:46:23,340
not everyone can just hop on a plane
and go to Europe whenever they want.
:
00:46:23,770 --> 00:46:25,530
And how do we bring
this adventure at home?
:
00:46:25,540 --> 00:46:30,370
I, I did want to ask at the end
of your trip of six weeks, how did
:
00:46:30,370 --> 00:46:34,010
that affect your relationships, not
just with your boyfriend, but with
:
00:46:34,010 --> 00:46:36,810
family, with clients, like whatever
that looked like for you because you
:
00:46:36,810 --> 00:46:40,510
were such a vastly different person
from start to finish, just six weeks.
:
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,540
How did that change for
you when you came back
:
00:46:42,540 --> 00:46:42,930
Zoe: home?
:
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,485
I Felt extremely liberated and empowered.
:
00:46:47,485 --> 00:46:52,525
And I actually, I mean, I was Me and
my boyfriend had broken up, and I
:
00:46:52,525 --> 00:46:57,285
was so devastated about it and that's
actually what kind of like, propelled
:
00:46:57,285 --> 00:47:01,935
me, Uranus, without my knowledge,
but, but my the thought was like, you
:
00:47:01,935 --> 00:47:05,835
know, screw it, I'm going, I'm gonna
get over this guy, and I did, and I
:
00:47:05,835 --> 00:47:07,935
felt totally Like, I don't need him.
:
00:47:07,965 --> 00:47:08,895
You know, I don't need him.
:
00:47:08,905 --> 00:47:10,055
And then, of course,
that's when they come back.
:
00:47:10,055 --> 00:47:10,495
So we did.
:
00:47:10,515 --> 00:47:14,935
But I felt really like
I really was over it.
:
00:47:15,015 --> 00:47:16,435
You know, I was really over it.
:
00:47:16,715 --> 00:47:19,225
And I I switched
fellowships from AA to NA.
:
00:47:19,225 --> 00:47:20,315
I made a bunch of new friends.
:
00:47:20,575 --> 00:47:23,568
I got really deep into Buddhism
and Hinduism and all the sort
:
00:47:23,568 --> 00:47:25,058
of like Eastern religions.
:
00:47:25,058 --> 00:47:27,648
And I started really studying astrology.
:
00:47:27,998 --> 00:47:30,348
So it, it did kind of change my outlook.
:
00:47:30,398 --> 00:47:31,508
So that was 28.
:
00:47:31,538 --> 00:47:33,003
And then when I was 30.
:
00:47:33,533 --> 00:47:34,723
I was 29.
:
00:47:35,053 --> 00:47:36,563
I started my astrology business.
:
00:47:36,573 --> 00:47:38,183
That was in::
00:47:38,193 --> 00:47:42,103
The first part of:you know, so it was I think kind of
:
00:47:42,103 --> 00:47:49,233
taking that risk taking or stepping
out into a new experience, trying
:
00:47:49,233 --> 00:47:53,453
something different giving myself like
having the ability to, to fail, right?
:
00:47:53,453 --> 00:47:54,723
I could have gone to Europe and hated it.
:
00:47:54,783 --> 00:47:56,353
But I did it anyway, and I loved it.
:
00:47:56,353 --> 00:47:59,363
I could have started this
business and failed, but I did
:
00:47:59,363 --> 00:48:01,033
it anyway, and it's thriving.
:
00:48:01,143 --> 00:48:04,693
So I think making being able to kind
of like have the experience of like,
:
00:48:04,713 --> 00:48:09,453
Oh, I did this really, you know,
foreign new thing last year, a year
:
00:48:09,453 --> 00:48:10,533
and a half ago, and it went well.
:
00:48:10,533 --> 00:48:12,313
So let me try it this time.
:
00:48:12,493 --> 00:48:15,453
So I think it definitely changed
the way that I interact with people.
:
00:48:15,453 --> 00:48:19,223
Because like I said, I'm a person who is
very and I still struggle with this, but
:
00:48:19,223 --> 00:48:21,303
I'm very like, I'm holding on to things.
:
00:48:21,303 --> 00:48:23,843
If something's good, I'm like,
when's it gonna go bad, you know, and
:
00:48:24,373 --> 00:48:26,653
just really clinging to everything.
:
00:48:26,653 --> 00:48:31,663
And I think even though I still do
struggle with that, I can think back or
:
00:48:31,663 --> 00:48:35,323
read back over my notebook and be like,
yeah, things are temporary and it's cool.
:
00:48:35,453 --> 00:48:38,793
Something that's, you know, I had
some weird experiences in where like
:
00:48:38,793 --> 00:48:40,253
I booked a hostel and it wasn't, yeah.
:
00:48:40,428 --> 00:48:43,298
I was really excited for it, but it
didn't work out and all this stuff, but
:
00:48:43,298 --> 00:48:46,808
it, but it, it worked out, you know,
and it was all part of the larger plan.
:
00:48:46,808 --> 00:48:50,288
And so when I get really crazy
and in my head about things, like
:
00:48:50,288 --> 00:48:52,418
everything has to stay this way
or I'm going to lose my mind.
:
00:48:52,418 --> 00:48:53,248
It's like, that's not true.
:
00:48:53,248 --> 00:48:55,448
So, you know, that's not true
because you can pull on your
:
00:48:55,448 --> 00:48:56,778
past experience, you know, a
:
00:48:56,778 --> 00:48:57,548
Kelly: hundred percent.
:
00:48:57,578 --> 00:49:04,248
And another guest that we had Kelly
Fisher on episode two, I believe she talks
:
00:49:04,248 --> 00:49:07,328
about pocketing experiences for future.
:
00:49:07,688 --> 00:49:11,418
For future kelly for future zoey so
that when things do get hard or you
:
00:49:11,418 --> 00:49:14,708
are like i need to have certainty i
don't know i don't know where this is
:
00:49:14,768 --> 00:49:18,088
gonna go i don't know about xyz and
being able to go back into your back
:
00:49:18,088 --> 00:49:21,368
pocket pull out that experience me like
wait you remember when this worked out
:
00:49:21,378 --> 00:49:22,678
do you remember when this worked out.
:
00:49:23,198 --> 00:49:26,498
Over and over and over again so it's
such a cool way of looking at not
:
00:49:26,498 --> 00:49:30,338
just travel and getting to see the
world like really investing in your
:
00:49:30,338 --> 00:49:34,338
own personal development for the
future you to be able to pull back on
:
00:49:34,658 --> 00:49:39,918
Zoe: a thousand percent that experiential
learning and knowledge that you get
:
00:49:39,918 --> 00:49:43,748
for me it's much more affecting than
something I read in a book and I love
:
00:49:43,748 --> 00:49:46,698
to read and I love to read self help
books and you But to get out in the
:
00:49:46,708 --> 00:49:50,718
world and like, do it, you know, is
the, and that's, and it really is linked
:
00:49:51,088 --> 00:49:54,608
between that, just travel in general, but
that big trip and starting my business
:
00:49:54,608 --> 00:49:58,098
because they felt similar or it's
like, whatever, like, let's just do it.
:
00:49:58,098 --> 00:49:59,078
Let's see what happens.
:
00:49:59,078 --> 00:50:00,838
You know, I love this.
:
00:50:01,178 --> 00:50:02,638
Let me invest in this.
:
00:50:03,408 --> 00:50:04,638
And that both of them paid off.
:
00:50:05,008 --> 00:50:05,588
Kelly: Really did.
:
00:50:05,808 --> 00:50:08,968
Well, I've been so, so
happy to talk to you today.
:
00:50:08,968 --> 00:50:10,658
I end every episode.
:
00:50:10,658 --> 00:50:14,828
I'll give you a little bit of time at
the very end of shout out all your Insta
:
00:50:14,828 --> 00:50:16,228
and Tik TOK and websites, whatever it is.
:
00:50:16,548 --> 00:50:19,578
But at the very end of the episodes, I
like to do four rapid fire questions.
:
00:50:19,978 --> 00:50:25,318
So number one is if you could only go
back to one country, town, place in
:
00:50:25,318 --> 00:50:27,018
the world, where would it be and why?
:
00:50:27,598 --> 00:50:28,558
Zoe: Lisbon, Portugal.
:
00:50:29,158 --> 00:50:32,688
Because the food is great, the
people are amazing and beautiful.
:
00:50:32,928 --> 00:50:36,548
I love the entertainment and I
just feel good when I'm there.
:
00:50:36,588 --> 00:50:37,368
I feel the best when I'm there.
:
00:50:37,368 --> 00:50:39,238
I always have really
synchronistic experiences.
:
00:50:39,588 --> 00:50:39,718
Oh,
:
00:50:39,718 --> 00:50:40,058
Kelly: man.
:
00:50:40,138 --> 00:50:40,628
I'm so excited.
:
00:50:40,628 --> 00:50:42,788
We're going to Portugal
next year on a retreat.
:
00:50:42,798 --> 00:50:46,428
So we're doing Rising Nature
Retreats there in May next year.
:
00:50:46,478 --> 00:50:47,348
So I'm excited for that.
:
00:50:48,208 --> 00:50:51,818
And then number two is what's number
one on your bucket list right now?
:
00:50:52,298 --> 00:50:53,068
For places to go?
:
00:50:53,148 --> 00:50:53,978
Any, anything.
:
00:50:53,988 --> 00:50:56,018
Business, relationship,
travel, whatever it is.
:
00:50:56,158 --> 00:50:57,938
Zoe: Number one on my bucket
list, I definitely want to
:
00:50:57,938 --> 00:50:59,223
go to Thailand and Vietnam.
:
00:50:59,683 --> 00:51:05,353
For sure, I want to get published in a
major magazine and be flown out to L.
:
00:51:05,353 --> 00:51:05,433
A.
:
00:51:05,443 --> 00:51:06,153
to do an event.
:
00:51:06,423 --> 00:51:06,913
Kelly: All right.
:
00:51:06,923 --> 00:51:07,763
Yeah, I'm manifesting that baby.
:
00:51:07,773 --> 00:51:08,113
Let's do it.
:
00:51:08,473 --> 00:51:08,843
I love
:
00:51:08,843 --> 00:51:09,113
Zoe: it.
:
00:51:09,393 --> 00:51:10,033
And write a book.
:
00:51:10,363 --> 00:51:10,653
Kelly: Awesome.
:
00:51:10,653 --> 00:51:11,203
An astrology book.
:
00:51:11,223 --> 00:51:12,043
I will read that book.
:
00:51:12,353 --> 00:51:12,413
Thank you.
:
00:51:13,583 --> 00:51:17,663
And then number three is, what has
been one of the biggest life lessons
:
00:51:17,673 --> 00:51:18,953
that you've had while traveling?
:
00:51:20,783 --> 00:51:23,393
Zoe: What has been one of the biggest life
lessons that I've had while traveling?
:
00:51:24,163 --> 00:51:25,373
I guess the oh.
:
00:51:25,903 --> 00:51:26,343
Life lesson.
:
00:51:26,433 --> 00:51:27,503
Money isn't that important.
:
00:51:27,813 --> 00:51:29,353
You can travel with not a lot of money.
:
00:51:29,463 --> 00:51:30,923
I don't need to have that much money.
:
00:51:31,523 --> 00:51:34,773
I can have a beautiful experience
not spending that much.
:
00:51:35,313 --> 00:51:36,873
And everything is
temporary, but it's okay.
:
00:51:36,913 --> 00:51:37,713
Yeah, I
:
00:51:37,713 --> 00:51:38,163
Kelly: love that.
:
00:51:38,783 --> 00:51:42,523
And I think that's really important for
people to remember is is yes, you need
:
00:51:42,523 --> 00:51:46,308
to have Some money to get from point
A to point B, but I think there's so
:
00:51:46,308 --> 00:51:48,068
many ways to get creative about it.
:
00:51:48,098 --> 00:51:52,578
And there's so many ways to
just, you know, do it and
:
00:51:52,578 --> 00:51:54,368
figure it out as you go and,
:
00:51:54,408 --> 00:51:55,278
Zoe: yeah, get creative.
:
00:51:55,438 --> 00:51:56,578
You don't have to stay at the resort.
:
00:51:56,758 --> 00:52:01,078
You don't have to go to all the, you
know, get food on from a sidecar on
:
00:52:01,078 --> 00:52:02,558
the street tends to be really good.
:
00:52:02,828 --> 00:52:05,338
Live where the locals live or
stay where the locals stay.
:
00:52:05,818 --> 00:52:06,808
Do walking tours.
:
00:52:07,538 --> 00:52:08,948
You can do so much with so little.
:
00:52:09,223 --> 00:52:09,443
Kelly: Yeah.
:
00:52:09,583 --> 00:52:10,053
Amazing.
:
00:52:10,153 --> 00:52:12,853
And then the last one is, what
is one piece of advice that you'd
:
00:52:12,853 --> 00:52:14,523
give to an aspiring explorer?
:
00:52:16,713 --> 00:52:18,873
Zoe: Oh, it sounds corny,
but just like book the trip.
:
00:52:18,883 --> 00:52:19,223
Yeah.
:
00:52:19,433 --> 00:52:21,513
That's what Lauren, Lauren
Walsh, my travel fairy
:
00:52:21,513 --> 00:52:22,563
godmother, I love you so much.
:
00:52:22,923 --> 00:52:23,743
She got so annoyed with me.
:
00:52:24,023 --> 00:52:26,943
I'm calling her and texting her,
which she's like, just book it.
:
00:52:27,043 --> 00:52:28,233
Just book it and think about it later.
:
00:52:28,443 --> 00:52:28,663
Yeah.
:
00:52:28,683 --> 00:52:31,183
Get your bag and your
passport and book the flight.
:
00:52:32,248 --> 00:52:33,038
Literally, that's it.
:
00:52:33,038 --> 00:52:33,538
And that you needed.
:
00:52:33,538 --> 00:52:34,268
That was the push that I needed.
:
00:52:34,268 --> 00:52:34,808
Book the flight.
:
00:52:35,418 --> 00:52:35,488
I
:
00:52:35,488 --> 00:52:35,818
Kelly: love it.
:
00:52:36,908 --> 00:52:39,348
Just do it, and also get
a travel fairy godmother.
:
00:52:39,348 --> 00:52:40,468
Yes, definitely.
:
00:52:40,478 --> 00:52:41,138
Get a Lauren.
:
00:52:42,378 --> 00:52:42,728
I love it.

00:52:42,728 --> 00:52:43,568
Well, thank you so much.
:
00:52:43,568 --> 00:52:44,618
Can you share how people can
:
00:52:44,618 --> 00:52:45,558
Zoe: connect with you online?
:
00:52:45,578 --> 00:52:45,988
Yes.
:
00:52:46,018 --> 00:52:51,058
So I'm mainly on Instagram and TikTok,
both the same handle, Zo, Flo, Astro.
:
00:52:51,058 --> 00:52:52,888

in the Yeah, show notes.
:
00:52:53,028 --> 00:52:53,818
In the show notes.
:
00:52:53,818 --> 00:52:54,128
