Speaker 1:

Welcome to a special edition of Redesigning Life. Many of you know I have a new show called the Sabrina Soto Show Out and I was able to invite amazing experts in their fields just to come in and have great conversation. But because it's a show, we have to edit it down. Now, these conversations, they were so good that I wanted to publish the raw, unedited version, and that's what this episode is. You're going to hear action and you may hear a crew in the background, but I wanted to publish this so you can really listen to the entire chat. So here you go.

Speaker 2:

All right, we're ready, Sabrina.

Speaker 1:

Danielle. Hello, I have. I brought you some treats. Thank you so much. Look at that, isn't that gorgeous, amazing. Thank you. Whipped ricotta, if you want to take a nibble. Thank you, I have. I brought you some treats. Thank you so much. Look at that, isn't that gorgeous, amazing. Thank you, with ricotta, if you want to take a nibble. Thank you, I have been looking forward to you coming over for so long.

Speaker 1:

I've been excited for this as well, because we've been friends and you've never actually read my no, I have never done that so far. So I want to sort of explain why this whole episode's and celebrating, you know, having your friends and family in your life and just really using tips to live a better life. And I love astrology, but I don't know really what, how it works or what it is, so I want you to go through that. But so I know that you and I have a lot in common. Used to be a designer and you completely reinvented yourself, and I think that a lot of people watching want to do that themselves, but they can't find the courage. Like, how did you find the courage to do that?

Speaker 2:

I found the courage because it actually found me. So when I was 30 years old, I had a massive awakening. Basically, one day I went from being in the matrix to seeing spirits and I know that sounds crazy, no, but explain that, for people don't know what that means. Yeah, so I went from one day being in the matrix, not knowing anything, that there was anything beyond this physical realm, and then the next day I started seeing spirits and that was a wild, wild journey for me. And then I went on a long. I absolutely thought I was going crazy. In fact I was going to tell my parents that I was concerned, that I needed to get help. But then I realized if I was really going crazy, I wouldn't have the awareness that I look crazy, and so from that moment I realized something was happening.

Speaker 1:

So can you really explain to me what happened? Like how did you start seeing spirits, like what happened?

Speaker 2:

So, if we go back a little bit, I got dumped in France on my 30th birthday so, yes, bucket list item right there. So I actually was living in Boston. Then I moved back home to California where I haven't lived with my parents since I was 18. So I was broke. It was 2009. The economy tanked. I was an interior designer, as we talked about. There were no interior design jobs, so I was broke, crying over my relationship, and I felt like I was hitting rock bottom. You know, one morning I woke up. I was having dreams that were very real and they would start showing me things that would happen during the day and I thought that was crazy, right. And then I saw spirits and I thought I was going crazy. So you actually saw spirits, I actually saw spirits with my eyes and I, at the moment of looking at it, I thought I was going crazy. But that's what I've come to realize is that we all have this.

Speaker 1:

It's nothing that I have, this special gift that have told this to many people, but about a year ago I was in a retreat and I think it was really powerful. But was most powerful about that, seven days is being off of a phone and I had no, no books, no, nothing to read Like you had to just be in your own body and I think that was the most powerful thing that I took away was just being quiet, because that's when I heard my intuition more. And do you think that most people live their lives being so connected that they are disconnected from themselves?

Speaker 2:

Absolutely, and that's what I teach people is that, again, like I said, we all have this gift. We just have to quiet the mind and listen and connect it with our soul. And you know, while this was going on, I had no idea what was happening, but for the first time in my life, I was connected to my heart in a way that I felt joy that I never had for 30 years. You know, I hated every job I had. I thought there was something wrong with me and then, even though I didn't know what was going on, there was this feeling in my heart that this is right, that this is the truth of who I am, and I needed to keep going. So that's what kept me through and that got me to this point is listening to my heart truly so.

Speaker 1:

if anybody's watching this and they want to feel their intuition, their psychic powers if you're saying that we all have it like, what things could they do, Like baby steps could they take on a daily basis in order to tap into?

Speaker 2:

that, yeah, it's really just sitting with yourself and I know that some people don't even have time for that, right, and that's kind of the problem. So I understand where moms people are busy with their jobs, but if you can take five minutes and just sit with yourself and reconnect to your heart and you could ask your heart what do you need and how do you feel? And just even those two questions what do you need and how do you feel? Yeah, If you ask your heart that every day, it's going to guide you because your heart has the answers to everything.

Speaker 1:

So just starting your day off, that's it. Before you get out of bed, what do you need and how do you feel? That, I think, is takeaway for everyone. That doesn't cost any money, that just takes a few minutes of time and then you could tap into your intuition. Because that is true. I feel like we all have the innate ability to not need a psychic, not need astrology. Perhaps it's a nice way to guide Exactly, but if we just tap into our own knowledge, we will find the way.

Speaker 2:

That's exactly what it is, and I tell people astrology is a tool. It's not going to save your life, it's not going to be your rescuer. Right, you are the one that saves you right, no one's going to come to save you. Nobody is going to come to save you. Nobody's going to come to save you.

Speaker 1:

Astrology is an amazing tool to helpricorn, but I now have gotten readings. I love it. I hate to admit that I use it as a tool, but I don't really know. How does astrology work?

Speaker 2:

Yes, Well, first thing I want to say is that I don't do horoscopes, and I know that everyone thinks astrology is horoscopes, but it's so much bigger than that. I like to call astrology the basic bitch astrology. Okay, so that's not what we do around here. The astrology that I do has been around since ancient times ancient Greeks, egyptians, babylonians right, so this is a divination tool to help you find out who you are. So I want you to start with this. Put your hands together like this, okay, and I want you just to go closer and then go apart and can you start feeling the energy in between? Yes, right, I can. Right, so that energy? Right, there is the quantum field, that energy, right, there is the field around you. So we are connected to something so much bigger than ourself. Right, and I wanted you to do this because I wanted you to feel right, because if, sometimes, if we don't see something, we think it doesn't exist, right, a hundred percent Right. And so there's a quote by Nikola Tesla If you want to understand the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy frequency and vibration, and that is how astrology is right.

Speaker 2:

If you think about the moon, the tides, how they're connected, it's the gravitational pull. We can't see it, but it still affects us, right. So when we're born and we take our first breath here on earth, the stars, the planets, the constellations are aligned in energetic format that gets imprinted into our soul, right, so we are breathing this energy. Now, this doesn't define our life in the way that it stops us, but it can help us understand. Oh, I'm wired this certain way, I have this certain personality trait, or my purpose is to go this direction. Right, so the stars can really guide us, to help us understand who we are, what we're doing here, right, what is this whole earth journey about? Right, and it gives us a grounding and a connection to something so much greater than ourself.

Speaker 1:

So, it's not necessarily. It's because I always wondered if you have like a plan C section.

Speaker 2:

It's because the moment that you're born, the energy that's happening in the earth at that moment is what sort of like molds you in a way and I'd like to say that, you know, we think that we're in control, we think like, oh, I had a C-section, or my baby was earlier. Maybe it was late, but there's a divine plan bigger than us. Right, we're the ones that were the vessels at that point, the mothers that are having the children. So there's a divine plan bigger.

Speaker 1:

The souls know when've read my chart, I think I understand it a little bit better, and now I know that you pulled my chart, so I really I'll make some space for you. I'm really curious to see what it says.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it's better for me to hold so I can kind of look at it. Okay, okay. So I asked you for your birth time, your date, location, and the birth time is the most important thing. Okay, so you gave me the exact time. What happens if somebody doesn't know? If somebody doesn't know the birth time, then you won't know everything in the chart. You'll still know some aspects of it, but you can't get the full story of what's going on for your soul. So the birth time is so important, okay, okay.

Speaker 2:

So we know right off the bat by looking at your chart that you are a Capricorn right and so that's your sun sign. That people you know might know their sun sign. But it's so much deeper than that. You actually have your sun sign in the 12th house, and the 12th house is a very spiritual, very psychic house. So right off the bat, I already know that you are incredibly intuitive.

Speaker 2:

So do you know that about yourself? Yeah, I do. Yeah, did you have you always known that or was it like? Was it suppressed? And then you started realizing this. Later on, I knew in high school yes, something was up. Yes, okay. So and that's because not only do you have your sun sign, which is where you shine your light to the world. You also have your mercury, and your mercury is your speech and your communication in the 12th house. So that 12th house is connected to the ethers, it's connected to the spiritual realm, it's connected to something so much bigger than self. So a lot of people who have planets there. They're creative, they're intuitive. It can often be hard while you're growing up, where sometimes we don't know who we are and I know everyone might have that feeling. But especially if you have your sun sign in the 12th house, it can feel like I just don't know who I am. I'm taking on other people's energies until I really figure out who I am. So it's kind of confusing for a lot of people for a while.

Speaker 1:

I went through a really hard time in high school trying to figure out which clique I should be part of, until I realized now, looking back, I'm like you didn't have to be part of any of them. You could just have been yourself.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you also have to be careful with the 12th house, sun or any plants in the 12th house, for escapism. So there's escapism. A lot of people go to drugs and alcohol because it's almost like you want to be in this other realm, because it's hard to be on earth, right? Because you're so connected to something bigger than yourself, even if you don't know it, and so there's a lot of escapism. So that happens a lot, and so a lot of people with alcoholism or drug problem that they struggle with will have a lot of planets in Pisces or in the 12th house.

Speaker 1:

It's a hundred percent. I think I spent my twenties and thirties really numbing out with drinking, because it was hard to just be in my body at times.

Speaker 2:

It's because you're a 12th house sun and you're Mercury. So if we would have talked sooner, I could have explained that to you and that would have helped. It's okay, I had a good time, we're fine, right, but in hindsight, having the information about astrology is so important because it shifts our life, right, because we can make better choices. That's right. But everything happened because it was exactly how it needed to be. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2:

So not only do you have so there's a sun, a moon, there's many things. You have the rising sign, you have your sun, you have your moon, you have your Mercury and you have your Venus, mars. You have so many things. Okay, right, so it really makes up the soul of who you are. So not only do you have your sun in the 12th house, which is very intuitive, you're also a moon in Pisces, so you have a lot of Pisces flavor in your chart, which means, again, the creativity and connected to the divine, so you can channel, you are channeling. That's how you do your creativity and you do your art. When you're designing a space, you're channeling. So a lot of people don't realize that they're channeling, but you absolutely are and you're also intuitive. So now that we're having this conversation, you're going to start noticing things differently, because this is what always happens, and so people are going to start coming to you for questions and you're going to start you're able to help people, guide them on their journey and give them advice.

Speaker 1:

So my dog passed away, you know, a few months ago, and I feel like I'm channeling her and I know that sounds crazy, I know that sounds crazy, I know that's why I'm telling you this safe space, but I felt like she, when I would start like almost feeling really sad, I could hear her talking to me, saying like I'm still here, I'm just not here.

Speaker 2:

That's exactly what it is. So I was doing a reading the other day, a session, and their dog came through, and so that just goes to show that it's exactly what you said. It's just energy that transforms. It never dies, it just goes into a different form. There are souls, too. Absolutely Okay. What else? There's a lot, okay.

Speaker 2:

So your North Node is in Scorpio, and now that is a powerful, powerful placement. Our North Node in the chart is where our soul is moving towards, so it's our purpose. This is one of the main reasons why your soul incarnated the kinds of lessons and experiences that you're here to have. So, first of all, it's in the 10th house, so you are here to be in the spotlight. You are here to be seen. The 10th house is about career, so it is not about hiding. And your South Node, which is your past energy, is in the fourth house, which is home and family. So, again, no surprise that you are designing houses. That's so crazy, okay. So there's a lot more to this. So your North Node in Scorpio.

Speaker 2:

In this lifetime, your biggest journey and your biggest lesson is to really learn to let go to transform. Now, with a South Node in Taurus, you learn to let go to transform Now. With a South noted Taurus, you can definitely hold on to things and stay in things that longer than they are, but you're learning to, you're learning to transform, you're learning to let go. Right, if you were in a marriage and it didn't work, you have to let it go. If you had a house and it's time to move on, it's time to let it go. So it is a, I would say, a trickier um lifetime for people. Only because we are as souls, as humans, we're stubborn, right, we hold on. So you're here to transform. But it's also about magic, it's about intimacy, it's about going to the depths of your soul. So you're really, really finding your psychic abilities in this lifetime.

Speaker 1:

It's so funny that you say that Letting go has been a huge lesson for me. I read a book years ago called Outrageous Openness Do you know this? By Tosha Silver. It's changed me. Because I'm a Capricorn, I'm stubborn.

Speaker 2:

You're South nodes in Taurus. That's why you're even more stubborn.

Speaker 1:

Yes, but it's the letting go that has created magic in my life.

Speaker 2:

That's exactly your major lesson in this lifetime and it's going to help you in your career too. And I want to say another thing with your career, your North node is conjunct Uranus, and Uranus is about the revolutionary. So you are here to do things that, even if people don't understand, if they don't agree with you, you're here to change the way that we view the world. So you're here to just go forward and even if people don't see it oh my God, I love can.

Speaker 1:

I keep this Absolutely. So anybody who wants their like charts read and you can't find your time, like the time that you were born a lot of the times, the hospital will have it or your birth record would have it. If you're a little bit older, you might have to call the hospital. I know this because it's in the archives, so you could find it. I love this. Okay, and I know because we need tips for anyone who wants to invite a little bit more spirituality in their lives. In a smaller way, what sort of setup can someone do to just have a place of serenity, a place of calmness, in their room?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Well, as I was saying in the beginning, it's so important to take that time for yourself and to connect with your soul. And life is busy, right? There's so much noise out there. So in our house, it's really important to create a sacred space right, to create an altar, and that's really a place that we can connect with ourself and connect with our soul and disconnect from the outside world, right? So it would be beautiful if I could show you, please. Yes, so over here, what we just need to do is take a blanket or a towel, anything, because you want to create this space in your house.

Speaker 2:

And then, since we're sticking with the theme of astrology as above, so below and we're bringing in the elements which are in our body as well I wanted to talk about bringing the elements to your space, right? And the way we're going to do this is because we're going to honor the elements, and when we honor the elements, we're actually honoring ourself as well. So it's a really beautiful ritual, and ritual brings us back into the moment, okay, so we have air. So for the air element, you could have incense, you could have a feather, and air is about knowledge, it's about information, it's about our breath of life, right. So this is really where we start from. And then we also have the element of water. You can bring in, actually, a chalice or water, or you can bring in seashells, and water is about the emotional realm. So it is about our healing, it's about our emotions, it's about flowing through life and letting go right. So that's really important.

Speaker 2:

And then we have the element of earth. Now you can take some crystals and you can place them, like anything that calls to you, or you can take flowers is also really beautiful. And earth is about grounding, it's about connecting to yourself, connecting to Mother Gaia, and it's about sustaining life. And then the other element is fire, and so fire you can use candles for that and fire is about the initiation, it's about the passion, it's about the energy of life. So it's really important to take all that in. And then we actually have one more element here, and this is about ether, which is spirit. So I love bringing in a picture of either a soul or a deity, or God, a goddess, or someone in your family, like an ancestor. Those are all of my grandparents. I love that so much.

Speaker 1:

All four of them in one picture. Because what it is? Yes, these are my four grandparents. They're all four in one picture. Beautiful, I love. I miss every single one of them.

Speaker 2:

And what it is is. You're paying reverence to, thanking you for bringing me into this life, and I honor you and I know that you're around me here. So all this is is bringing you back to yourself and your soul and connecting with the subtle realm around you, which is, yeah, it's really beautiful and it's such a simple thing.

Speaker 1:

I do believe that everybody, you know, in design we always create these she sheds and these man caves, and not everybody has the space to create that in there. We all want it, but it's almost sometimes impossible, especially if you live in a small space. But this is not impossible. This is so easy to set up and even if you only take a few minutes out of your day to sit here and to meditate, that makes all the difference in your day and how everything unfolds, absolutely. Thank you, danielle. Thank you so much. I'm so happy. We're friends. Me too. You're like a friends with benefits. I know I love it. That's what they all say. When am I going to be rich? We'll talk about it, okay.

Speaker 2:

You do have a Venus conjunct, your rising sign. That's really good.

Speaker 1:

Somebody, when I got read, said 2027 is going to be a big year. Oh well, I'd have to?

Speaker 2:

I don't know that. Yeah, there's a lot going on. I hope it's good. Pluto's squaring your nodes right now. It's powerful Good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, ready. Thank you, danielle. You're like a friends with benefits. Thank you to take small steps to redesign your life.
