Hey, Astro lover. Welcome back to the Astrology with Claire podcast. I am Claire Gallagher from astrology with claire.com, and I'm so happy that I am in your earbuds right now. Today's podcast is called It's Magic, 11 Things Planet Channeling Can Do for You. I am obsessed with planet channeling. I am going all in, and today I am gonna share with you 11 things that I use planet channeling for regularly, and I promise it's gonna change your life.

It's such a powerful technique. And guess what? It costs $0. You just need some scrap paper. It's amazing. Anyway, before I get into gushing about planet channeling, I wanna make sure you know all about my upcoming free webinar. It's on September 22nd at 3:00 PM Eastern. It's called Turn Your Astrology Chart into a Clarity [00:01:00] Machine.

How to Unlock Instant Cosmic Insight with. Planet channeling. Yes. I'm gonna teach you all of the details, all of the how's, all of the why's, all of the, what's about planet channeling in this webinar? You do not wanna miss it. We already have, gosh, over 70 people that are enrolled. I'm gonna have to get a bigger Zoom room potentially.

So if you wanna come to the live one, I would sign up ASAP because I'm probably gonna have to cut it off at a hundred people. So anyway, you can sign up for that@astrologywithclaire.com slash channel. That's astrology with C-L-A-I-R e.com/c H-A-N-N-E-L. Okay, so we're betwixt eclipses. I hope you're doing okay out there.

I know that the Pisces eclipse was emotional for a lot of people. I'm curious what this Virgo clip eclipse is gonna be about for me. You know, it's a south note eclipse, [00:02:00] which is all about letting go and releasing. It's in my 10th house of career and I've been doing a lot of simplifying and cleaning up and getting really clear on what it is that I want to actually do with my life and my work.

And hint, hint, we're talking about it today. So I'm super passionate about this technique called planet channeling that I stumbled upon. I don't. I guess you could say I created it because I didn't learn it from someone, but I'm hesitant to say that because I'm sure other people in the world do this, but I have my own unique spin and flavor of doing it.

So just for ease, I'm gonna say I created this technique, I at least call it Planet channeling. That was. Definitely a hundred percent me. 'cause I didn't know what else to call it. I was like, I'm journaling with the planets. Sounds pretty clunky. So anyway, let's talk about what it is first and then I wanna dive into 11 things planet channeling can do for you today.

'cause I want you to feel [00:03:00] really inspired and I want you to come to the webinar. It's free. There's no excuse. There will be a replay, but you still have to sign up. Astrology with claire.com/channel. Okay. What in the world is planet channeling? It is an intuitive way to receive, that's the key word. Receive information from your birth chart about whatever you want.

I love it because it is accessible. It costs $0 and. It doesn't require any major astrological knowledge. The thing that drives me up the wall about astrology, and I'm a nerd, so I love it and I hate it, is how intellectual it is. If you have studied astrology in any manner of seriousness. You [00:04:00] understand how intense it can get, how mind boggling it can get, how technical and complicated it can be.

What I love about planet channeling is that it removes all of that complication and makes astrology accessible without having to study it endlessly. And as someone who. Struggles sometimes with brain fog and cognitive issues, and also chronic mental health concerns. I don't always have my a hundred percent brain power, but I still love astrology.

But. Sometimes I can't access that keen inte that I need to maybe interpret something precisely enter planet channeling. It's something I can do even on an off day and know that I'm going to receive potent insight. So instead of thinking really hard about what your birth [00:05:00] chart means or researching it or even asking, dare I say, a professional, when you're planet channeling, you allow your chart or your planets to speak directly to you without an intermediary, which is really powerful in astrology there is a power dynamic where the astrologer has all the information and all the knowledge and the client is coming to them because they don't have that information and that knowledge. What I love about planet channeling is it removes that, uh, power dynamic and it makes.

You the one in power. It puts the power back in your hands instead of the astrologer's hands.

Now what are we actually channeling? And I'm gonna talk more about this in the webinar, but the short answer from my perspective is you are channeling your inner planet parts. So I like to view the planets as internal facets of you. You know, you have [00:06:00] your inner Mars and your intravenous and your inner Saturn, and they all excel at.

Certain things and they all manage certain parts of your life. And so if you want insight on a particular area of life or you need help with something specific, you wanna go to the inner planet part that manages that part of your life and ask it a bunch of questions and get to know its advice. So we're not necessarily connecting with some spooky spirit or something way out there, although you can, if that's your jam.

For me though, what I'm typically doing is connecting with an inner planet part. It's a part of me that I wanna give air time too. I love Planet channeling because it is a limitless source of information. There really are no boundaries to how you can use this tool. It's extremely creative and flexible.

You can use planet channeling to deepen your self knowledge and understanding. [00:07:00] You can use it to answer specific questions. You can use it to interpret your birth chart. And these are all things that I'm gonna talk about when we get to the 11 things, the list. But my point is. It's accessible and all you need is a pen and some loose leaf paper and an open mind.

You don't need major astrology knowhow or experience, although sometimes some basics can be helpful. In the webinar, I'll give you the basics that you need, but ultimately, planet channeling builds self trust when you learn. That you can connect with your planets anytime you want. You become the authority.

You no longer have to rely on horoscopes or podcasts or blogs, or even reputable astrologers to give you info about your life.

There's so much more I could say about planet channeling specifically how to do it and more about why we wanna do it, but I'm gonna save that for the [00:08:00] webinar. Again, you can sign up@astrologywithclaire.com slash channel. Okay, so let's move into 11 things Planet Channeling can do for you. These are 11 things I've actually used Planet channeling for, and I just wanna wet your appetite and.

Kind of explore and show you the possibilities that planet channeling can offer you. And again, it's super flexible and super creative. It's really limitless and boundaryless. But here's a few ideas. So the first thing planet channeling can do for you is it can interpret your entire natal. Chart. Yes, you can sit down with each and every planet in your natal chart and ask it to tell you about itself.

Mm-hmm. Mind blown, and you can trust the [00:09:00] information you receive. This is so powerful again because it removes the need for you to outsource your intuition and insight to other people or to other sources of information, and let's be real. Apps are cool, but the interpretations are typically really cookie cutter and they don't land a hundred percent.

The beautiful thing about planet channeling is that it's coming from within you and it's going to be the perfect fit interpretation for you. So number one, interpret a na placement. You can interpret aspects, you can interpret, um, even things that aren't planets like angles and nodes. There are all sorts of ways to do this.

Again, it is limitless and boundaryless. So have a go at that. Pick a planet that you want to understand. I suggest one that really confuses you [00:10:00] and doesn't make sense to you, and ask it to reveal itself. Ask it what it promises in your natal chart, what it means, what is interesting to it, what its talents and gifts are, and how it wants to help you.

You're gonna be really surprised by the information you get. Okay. The second thing planet channeling can do for you is it can interpret a transit. So for those of you who are newer to astrology, a transit is when a planet in today's sky comes around and talks to a planet in your natal chart. And transits often correlate with changes, transitions, and events and experiences in your life.

If you have a transit coming up and you're concerned about it, or you wanna squeeze the most potential out of it, I suggest setting up a conversation with that transiting planet and ask it what it's offering you and how you can [00:11:00] help it do its best work. You can also, if you wanna be really nerdy, set up a two-way conversation between the transiting planet and the natal planet that it's gonna activate and kind of host a negotiation between the two.

Yeah. Isn't that cool? I know, I love it so much. So for example, if you're about to have a Saturn transit, let's say Saturn is going to oppose your natal moon, that's a big deal. You would want to invite Saturn in the moon. To the page and host a conversation between the two where the moon asks Saturn, Hey, what can I expect?

Saturn tells, you know, spills the beans, lets it know what it's going to be doing, and then the moon can make requests and so can Saturn. So there can be, um, more clarity around what to expect and also how to handle the transit. Another beautiful thing [00:12:00] that planet channeling can do for you, and I do this all the time, is it can give you a great celestial pep talk.

Your planets love you and they are just raring to go itching to help you. You just need to ask them. So if you're feeling down, if you're feeling like you're lacking some confidence, you just have lost touch with your authentic self. Ask one of your planets to remind you of how it sees you and. When you're planet channeling and you're doing it in the way I suggest, which I'll tell you all about in the webinar, the tone is going to be loving.

Now it can be stern, it can be tough love, but the tone is never gonna be be belittling or berating or dark. It is always going to be, um, loving. So. I [00:13:00] did this just the other day when we had Mercury kini and I needed some clarity and some help and I asked the sun to remind me of what my purpose was and what my direction was.

And the sun is really good at doing stuff like that. So if you need a cosmic pep talk, ask one of your planets to specifically answer the question, how do you see me? That's a really beautiful question to ask a planet, and you can get some really. Um, loving answers.

The fourth thing that planet channeling can do for you is it can provide specific answers to specific questions. And I know a lot of you love pulling cards for this, but you have another option to add to your toolkit and that is to do planet channeling. So after dropping in asking the planet, like invoking the planet.

Asking it to be with you. All of that stuff, you can pose a specific question and [00:14:00] write down the answer or receive the answer, and this is probably one of the most powerful things. It's a little bit more of an advance planet channeling thing to do. It's a lot easier when you're starting out to ask a broad question like, how do you see me?

Or What would you like me to know? However, once you get the hang of this technique, you can ask a very specific question and receive a very specific result.

The fifth thing that planet channeling can do for you might be one of my favorites as a business owner, and it is to request a step-by-step plan from a planet. Now, depending on what the plan is for, that's gonna change what, which planet you ask, and I'll show you in the webinar how to pick the right planet for the job, but.

Long story short, I frequently ask my career planet for a step-by-step plan, like I asked it for a step-by-step [00:15:00] plan for this webinar. I asked it to help me write the outline to help me make the slides in. That way, your planet parts can really partner with you in your daily work and in your daily life.

So. And let it flow. Like I asked my planets to share a five step plan with me, and it was boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Really easy, really simple, and you may have no idea what's gonna come out of your pen, and that's totally okay, but just let it flow and trust. So you can ask a planet to share a bulleted list with you, a numbered list with you around the topic of your choice, and it will be happy to oblige.

Number six is what I call the planetary all-nighter. This is. More of a like request of the planets and less planet channeling, but you start with some planet channeling by inviting the planets you need to help you to come [00:16:00] forward. And then you give them an assignment and you say, Hey planets, uh, this is what I want you to work on while I'm sleeping.

And then when we come together tomorrow morning, I want you to present to me what you've. Created. And so you journal that the night before, set it on your desk, go your merry way, have a good sleep. Wake up the next morning and channel out the answers. I do this all the time. It is amazing if I'm feeling stuck, like particularly if I am feeling stuck on a chapter, um, a book chapter.

I will ask my planet guides to outline it for me overnight to flush out the details and that I will channel right it in the morning. That is, um, specific to me, but you can do this with any type of project or assignment. Even homework, like if you're a student, they say something you could do. Be like, all right, uh, planet guides.

I need help [00:17:00] writing my paper. I would like you to help me outline it in the morning. Y'all work on it while I'm asleep. And I'll meet you here at 8:00 AM and I love giving the planets a deadline, like a specific date and time because they tend to work really well with that. I mean, come on, because astrology right, it's all about dates and times.

Similar to number six is number seven, and this is what I call the planet staff meeting. So this is when you ask your inner planet parts or your planet guides, however you like to view them, to help you plan the week. You can come together on a Sunday afternoon or a Monday morning or a Friday afternoon, whenever it is, you do your weekly planning and invite all your planet parts to come along.

Give each planet in your, uh, week or your business or your job, a assignment, a role. There is a podcast episode all about the planets in creativity and business. If [00:18:00] you want some guidance on picking a planet for a specific role, I would listen to that one. But anyway, in a planet staff meeting, you can. Ask your planets to help you prioritize and organize your tasks for the week.

It's as simple as inviting the planets in and then. Letting your pen just float along the page and trusting what comes up. And again, if you're like, uh, how does one, let one's pen float across the page, you need to come to the webinar. We're gonna actually practice planet channeling together so you'll have an opportunity to like get the kinks out and get the awkwardness out in a comfortable environment.

Because it can be a little awkward at first, I'm not gonna lie. You're like, am I doing this right? Oh my gosh, this is weird. This doesn't make any sense, blah, blah, blah. Totally normal. The eighth thing planet channeling can do for you is it can draw you a map from here to there, from [00:19:00] A to B, from beginning to end.

And this can be a long form, like a long form journal entry, or it can be a visual map of something that you actually allow a planet to help you draw a picture of where you're starting and where you're ending up. This can be really awesome to ask your chart ruler planet about, because that is a planet that kind of has its hands on the wheel of the car of your life, if you will.

And so when you want a roadmap, it's probably a good idea to ask your chart ruler.

Number nine, the ninth thing planet channeling can do for you is it can help you crunch all the numbers if you need to price a product. A service. If you're a business owner like me, you can invite your career planet, and your money planet, which hint would be the ruler of your second house or maybe even any planets in the second house to help you crunch some numbers.[00:20:00] 

When I'm working with planet channeling and numbers, sometimes it's easier for me to use my opposite hand. Because it kind of prevents me from overthinking and being too logical. I really wanna be in my intuitive, embodied space for this. So just a tip there. If you wanna play with that. You know, planet parts are gonna have different opinions, especially if you've invited multiple planets to the conversation.

They're not all gonna agree with each other, and that's totally okay. So let them argue it out and just facilitate the conversation and you always get the final say, oh my God, I'm having this experience where I'm outside of myself listening to myself talk and thinking, how weird is this girl? Oh my God.

This girl talking about planet channeling is capital W. Weird. Oh, well that's just who I am. We're just letting our aquarium freak flag fly. [00:21:00] Okay. Speaking of numbers, another thing you can do with planet channeling is pick a date and. You can just ask. This doesn't have to be a journaling exercise, but you can ask a planet to assist you as you're flipping through a physical calendar and kind of let your hand warm up around specific dates.

You might notice a tingling or you might have a specific number pop in your head. Another thing that you can ask the planet to do is to bring it to you in a dream. I've had this happen, I don't know, the planet said January 5th, and I was like, okay. I just wrote January 5th down on a sticky note. I don't even know what it's for yet.

I just know that that was the date that a planet gave me. All right, we're at the last one, number 11, the 11th thing that planet channeling can do for you. And this is really specific to me, so it may not resonate with you or be useful for you. But it [00:22:00] can help you copyright.

It can help you with writing your website, with writing your sales pages, with writing your email newsletters, with writing your social posts, your blog posts, anything that you write in order to share about your products and services. To sell those products and services, to market those products and services.

You can have a planet. Help you who needs ai, you can do this through Planet Channeling. Just last week I was writing a sales page for a program I'm about to launch. I'm gonna tell you about it in the webinar, and I asked Venus, Mars and Mercury to help me write the copy and it came out so smoothly. I had been agonizing over the copy for weeks.

And I realized, ding, ding, ding, girlfriend, you can ask the planets to help you and you can actually channel the sales page. And that's what I [00:23:00] ended up doing. And it was such, uh, a much more pleasant experience than really hashing it out and being so up in my head about it. So those are the 11 things.

There's probably 1,000,011 things that planet channeling can do for you, but those are the 11 that came to me today as I was preparing for this podcast.
