[A Cosmic Brew Crossover] Authenticity Over Imitation: A Birthday Reflection[Part 1 of 2][E36]

{Cosmic Brew is a side project that will be steeping well into Spring 2026. I speak on astrology and other esoteric concepts on there. It's on all major podcast players and YT (@cosmicbrewpodcast).}

****

🎉This special birthday episode is throwback episode to where this podcast started when it was the Aligned Alchemist — it’s deeply esoteric, weaving tarot, astrology, and the symbolism of the number eight into one message.

This is also tied to a limited birthday offer — a throwback my $88 astrology eclipse readings from 2022 (8 slots only, recorded). They honor the theme of eight and the eclipse energy of this week. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Transcript

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. This is a re-upload from my other project, cosmic Brew. A little bit of a crisscross here. Both of the episodes I'm dropping here are also gonna drop on Cosmic Brew. , And so this episode, if you are new to the podcast, does not represent what we typically talk about.

It is very spiritual. It's esoteric. I talk about the tarot. I go into some astrological stuff. And that's because this is a promise I made to drop this episode a while ago, and this is part of a double parter. There should be another episode dropping today about Uranus and Gemini, and I'm also dropping this episode.

And they're related and they're related to a lot of the stuff I've been talking about. Even though it's not directly related, you'll pick it up. And before I get into it, I have a special offer for my 40th birthday. Week, which I guess ends today. And because it's nine nine and we're going back in time, four years.

Two, eight. Eight when this brand started. So there's a special offer, $88 astrology eclipse readings. They are recorded. There are eight of them. I don't think there are eight left anymore, but there's anything you're gonna wanna know about them, including how many are left and when they run out and all that.

Whether or not it's for you is linked in the sales page below. Let's get into the podcast, and this is kind of like a number eight. The theme is eight. So, and I'll explain all that in the episode. So if you think about eight, it's kinda like a crisscross. So we kind of go our separate ways here. And so after this we'll kind of be shifting directions with this particular podcast.

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. I just dropped part three in the last part of my Eclipse series, so check that out if you're interested. And I mentioned a special birthday offer that I'm doing eight slots, $88, going back to eight eight, which is when this brand was birthed in 2021 and going back to eight eight of 2022, which is when

people asked me to do readings and I dropped an $88 special and I turned 48 this past week. So there's a lot of eights . A lot of fours. A lot of twos, a lot of numbers in there. Dropping a special double episode to. Honor the nine nine vibration that is occurring on

nine nine. And is the birthday message that I wanted to deliver to you, and, it happens to be on the eclipse. I didn't plan this. So last episode I talked about Uranus. And next episode I'm gonna talk about Uranus.

And so maybe this wants to be sandwiched in between. Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius. And they both represent the future. They represent the weirdo. They represent the visionary. They represent the scientist. They represent the energy healer. They represent the technologist. And people who have a prominent Uranus in their chart.

I have it on my ascendant, which is about as a prominent as you can get. But if you have it really prominently or close to a personal planet, it's going to affect you. And not surprisingly, I find a lot of uranians in my world and a lot of uranians are attracted to me because other people don't get them, and I get them, especially in the business space.

So that is Uranus, and we are on the precipice of the age of Aquarius. The last time that you heard from me for reels, reels before I came back when Uranus became active on seven. Seven was the day that Pluto was gonna enter Aquarius. And some people say that's the official start of the age of Aquarius.

I kind of get it if you see what happened in society after November of last year. But we're not through the portal yet, or the threshold is all I like to say. I am removing all spiritual language. From my front RAC stuff, , portal has been overused. Alchemy is overused. Every word is overused in the spiritual space .

And the people using it are anyway. , But I slip sometimes, but threshold is a better term because it's like you're crossing into a new identity. And what is a birthdate? It is a threshold. So I am entering a new year, but if you know anything about astrology, you know anything about human design.

You know that 48 is not just a year. It is a threshold. It is the countdown to the Chiron return, which is a major transformational time when you step into your elder self and you in theory impart the wisdom. That you have. Although in Western society, women at 48 are considered dead, because they become the wise woman then.

And so we treat them as witches because that , serves the narrative. But in theory. , Crone, which is the phase post 51 post reproductive era, is really considered wise woman. It's considered the magical woman, and most cultures recognized the threshold at 48. There specific stages that people go through in other cultures, particularly eastern cultures, Western society does not recognize age, so I am going to drop in a quote here.

And I will explain at the end what the quote is about and why I'm dropping it in here. This is a quote from Rolfe Waldo Emerson.

Before I say the quote though, I do wanna let you know related to this quote, is that if we go back into a time machine for August of 2022, which I believe is the first episode on this feed, there were a bunch of other episodes I removed. I don't know why I did that, but it's called Heart versus Hive.

Heart is Leo. Hive is Aquarius, and on that month we had a full moon in Aquarius. Moon Leo, and it was highlighting this notion of the creator versus community, which was particularly big in 2022 as TikTok was becoming big. Instagram was becoming crazy with the reels and the imitation shit, and this trending music and the, you know, everyone has to follow each other.

So I want you to take in that as well when you hear this quote.

And the quote is, insist on yourself. Never imitate your own gift. You can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation, but of the adopted talent of another.

You have only an extemporaneous half possession that which each can do best. None, but his maker can teach him. Like I said, pretty deep stuff, but you get the gist. It's that imitation of another is not what your vibrational frequency is, and it's not gonna get you where you want to go. Although in modern society, that is what is going to get you praise. So you get to decide the kind of Leo praise, the kind of applause you want. You've heard me talk a lot about that. I've talked about Leo in the past. Leo is shining bright. Aquarius is shining your freak flag.

They're both fixed signs for a reason because they have to values and not surprisingly, one of my values is to shine bright in the world, allow others to shine bright and to step into my own unique version of myself because there is nobody else like me. I was born at Emerson Hospital, which was named after Ralph Waldo Emerson.

It's very close to where he wrote his work. And so it feels very appropriate to bring that in on this day. I did wanna release this on my birthday, but it doesn't matter this. Maybe even more powerful because of the eclipse. I've done a lot of stuff on magnetic marketing and being authentically you, and I'll be talking more about that on my other podcast.

So. That's it. This is kind of a culmination into what is going to be next year. What is next? We don't know. 

If birthdays are a journey and we are on a journey, we're on our own hero's journey, then a great, analogy for that is the, is the tarot, and the 17th card of the tarot is the star card. Star card is associated with Aquarius, and in the original right or weight card, there are eight points on the star and.

It is about the future. It is about our visions and hopes and dreams for the future after the collapse of the past, after the Tower card, and so eight wants to show up so many places in spiritual concepts. Eighth is rebirth. Eighth is the b, eighth is the Star card. Eight is the symbol above the magician in the magician card.

The infinity symbol eight is the symbol of the strength card. Eight is the number associated with the B eight has so many different layers. I actually record it a whole episode on eight, . It's a very esoteric episode, but if I don't drop that, then.

You kind of get the gist. I'm also a life path number eight. This brand started on eight eight and it didn't start because of Lionsgate. I don't believe in Lionsgate. Lionsgate astrologically has no significance. It's a commercial holiday for the spiritual community. Something else prominent happened in my chart.

I had a new moon in Leo. , On eight eight, we had a new Moon in Leo. You can look that up. That was 2021 and that new Moon triggered a transit in my chart. So I had a transit that was about to pop where Uranus was gonna come above the horizon for the first time in my lifetime. And so the New Moon in Leo triggered that.

And a prior episode on my other podcast, when I was still talking about astrology on there, I had talked about how, I was having a Saturn uranus square for two years, and that's why the podcast kept breaking and forming, breaking and forming, breaking and forming, breaking and forming, and.

I was sharing that I knew that mutation was happening 'cause I knew my chart. Well, the same thing was happening with this. This was a new moon trigger of a transit. And so that's why I work with evolving charts because if you think about the amount of data that I just said and the amount of knowledge I just knew due to evolving charts, well, you can see why natal chart doesn't bring that in.

So that's the kind of work I do. I do one type of reading. It's not something I really offer. It's kind of like people who know know. But I will put a sales page for that when the time is right after the eclipse, but going back in a time machine to August of eight eight, which is why I made a big deal about dropping this episode on eight eight. But let's pretend it's 8 8 20 22.

I woke up and started a Instagram account called My Spiritual Musings, which became Success in Spirit, which became. The aligned alchemist, which became, now it's aligned gold. My brand is aligned gold everywhere. And I'll announce why I changed the name because there's specific reasons around the language.

And Gemini is about language and words. And so when uranus entered, Gemini, I became very cognizant of language. And I became very cognizant of the future and what I'm building for the future versus what is right now. But for today and for this week, we go backwards to go forward, hence my $88 readings which I will not bring back ever again.

So take advantage and, and what else did I wanna say? What else do I wanna say?

The card that comes prior to the Aquarius card is the tower card. And the tower card is associated with the death before the dawn, which is sometimes what eclipses can feel like. We can feel. We are being crunched from within because things are ending with they ending for our own highest good.

And the tower card is associated with Uranus or Mars, depending on how you look at it. I associate it with both. It's a destruction for the evolution, for the revolution. We're seeing that happen in society. This might be happening in some of your lives, and it's the breaking down to breakthrough classic alchemy process.

And the card after this is the moon card. And the moon is very large today because of the eclipse and because of it's a blood moon and all that. And because everyone's talking about the moon and what's the moon, it is a nature's flashlight on the things that we don't wanna see. It is a flashlight into our subconscious, into our patterns.

Into our subconscious patterns, into our past, and so those three cards are together for a reason.

We go through things in life. We have to rebuild, things happen, we have to get find our way through the dark. The moon allows us to find our way through the dark, depending on the phase that it's in. And as business owners, that is more challenging. There's more on the line, there's more pressure. Financial losses, personal growth edges, putting yourself out there, other people's opinions, risk, noise, lack of security.

You name it, I've fucking been through it 14 years this month. And let me tell you,. It's not the what you see on Instagram, it's not the romanticized notion. It's also because you feel you're in it alone. And now we have the internet and now we have more groups and collaboration, which is what Gemini is.

And I did an episode on my other channel of Jupiter and Gemini. I actually realized it was just about the sign of Gemini. So I'm gonna cut off like the first 30 seconds where I said Jupiter's in Gemini and the rest of the. Episode or the rest of the content is literally like a masterclass on Gemini.

And Gemini is about getting perspectives and getting input from other people. And that's a lot of what we are gonna need to move forward is our tribe. People who don't think you're crazy, people who are a little bit unusual in the way that you are unusual. Everyone's unusual in their own way, so you don't feel isolated, you don't feel like a freak.

Evolution, evolution, evolution. And in my one-to-one work, which I'll be releasing in September, the birthday is thing is special. That's a five day. Flash sale, never gonna come again. , But this is a special week, and so I wanted to release that offer and. When I do my work, I do transit and progress astrology because I focus on your evolving soul self and how that's applied to your business and your life.

So that is why I'm interested in that because it never ceases to amaze. And if you look at some of the testimonials, I'm sure a lot of people are just gonna click on that sales link to snoop around and. Read the testimonials, and that's what you'll see.

I am a catalyst. I catalyze people. And so that's what I do in my work. This work, my human design work, all the business work I do. After offering this this week I'm taking a step back

so if you wanna take advantage before I disappear for a while, take advantage of this reading. Thanks for listening. I will see you when I see you.​
