I am so excited for you to listen to this episode. I sat down with Kelly Noonan Gores, the filmmaker, author, and creator behind HEAL, and we went DEEP. We talked about her Cancer rising, her Pisces moon, her Aries sun, her Jupiter return, and how all of it points to one thing: she was designed to feel everything so she could help the rest of us heal.

This conversation got real fast. We talked about using altered states to understand consciousness, the Pisces pull toward escapism, what it means to have a Chiron wound around community and being seen, and how becoming a mother cracked her open in ways she never expected. Kelly is also in the middle of a Jupiter return right now, which means expansion is coming for her in a big way, and we talk about what that looks like with her new app, her next documentary, and her continued evolution as a healer.

If you have ever felt like you feel too much, this episode is for you. Kelly's chart is living proof that your sensitivity is not a weakness. It is your greatest tool.

Topics Covered:
Kelly's Cancer rising, Pisces moon, and Aries sun and what makes her a natural healer
The Pisces south node, escapism, and how altered states led her to understand consciousness
Why her Jupiter return in Cancer is opening doors for expansion and abundance in 2026
The Chiron wound in the eleventh house and what it means to fear taking a seat at the head of the table
How the HEAL documentary was never really a choice but a soul contract
Reparenting, feeling your feelings, and learning to hold yourself as an adult
Equine therapy and what horses teach us about taking up space and being authentic
The Jack of Clubs in the card system and what it means for Kelly's potential
Her upcoming app Held and next documentary on the science of feeling
Why imperfection is the foundation of beauty and evolution
Conscious parenting, Doctor Becky, and the power of repair
Signs, synchronicity, and how the body is the ultimate sign

Why You Have to Feel It to Heal It with Kelly Noonan Gores

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/0a85e327-4052-4ddc-b5c8-b3fa0062b43a/transcript

Overview:

The lunar nodes are one of my favorite topics in astrology because they reveal something most people never think to look for: the karmic path your soul is on this lifetime. And once you see it, everything starts to make sense.

Today I am breaking down what the lunar nodes actually are, why they are not planets or asteroids but energetic points where eclipses happen, and why they matter so much for your personal growth. I walk through where the nodes are right now collectively with the North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo, and what that means for all of us as a society. Then I go through every single nodal axis so you can find your personal nodes and understand the comfort zone your soul keeps pulling you back to and the lesson you are here to learn. I also explain what a nodal return is, why it happens every 18 years, and why it brings some of the biggest life changes you will ever experience. If you have ever felt stuck in a pattern you cannot break, your lunar nodes might be the missing piece. Press play and find yours. And if this resonates, share it with a friend who is ready to understand their path.

Topics Covered:
What the lunar nodes are and why they are not planets
The North Node vs. the South Node and how they create an axis of energy
Why the nodes always move retrograde and why that is nothing to worry about
The current collective nodes: North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo
What we are releasing as a society: perfectionism, control, and imposter syndrome
Where we are headed collectively: intuition, trust, and surrender
The upcoming nodal shift into Aquarius and Leo at the end of July
How eclipses activate the lunar nodes and why eclipse season matters
Your personal lunar nodes and how they reveal your karmic path
The South Node as your comfort zone and why it keeps pulling you back
The North Node as the unfamiliar lesson your soul is here to learn
A full breakdown of every nodal axis: Aries/Libra, Taurus/Scorpio, Gemini/Sagittarius, Cancer/Capricorn, Leo/Aquarius, Virgo/Pisces
What a nodal return is and why it brings major life reinvention
Reverse nodal returns and how they show up differently

The Lunar Nodes: Your Soul's GPS for This Lifetime

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/aec77066-a2b0-43fc-8d57-b3f800319d06/transcript

What happens when the universe builds someone to be seen, but the world keeps telling her she's too much? In this episode, I'm sitting with Oscar-nominated actress Minnie Driver, and we are going deep. We explore her Aquarius sun in the seventh house and why her partnerships had to be unconventional to work. We unpack her Scorpio moon and the emotional depth she carries that fuels her acting but can feel overwhelming in everyday life. We talk about being punished as a kid for thinking differently, the power of daily ritual to contain big emotions, and why her chart says she is heading into one of the most powerful reinventions of her life. If you have ever felt like you were too much for the people around you, this one is for you.

Topics Covered:
Aquarius sun in the seventh house and why unconventional partnerships are a must
Leo rising and being told you are "too much" as a child
Scorpio moon in the fourth house and the need for emotional safety
How daily rituals like meditation and journaling create containers for big emotions
The difference between self-confidence and self-worth
South node in Virgo: releasing perfectionism and the need to earn love
North node in Pisces: learning to surrender, trust, and flow
Jupiter expanding spiritual practices through the twelfth house
The upcoming Jupiter crossing her Leo ascendant and a major public reinvention
How the nodal return signals a once-in-eighteen-year identity shift
Mars and Chiron in Aries: using fire to heal childhood wounds
Why worry is a waste of energy and surrender actually prepares you better

How To Turn Your Emotions Into Your Greatest Power with Minnie Driver

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/433cdd72-7f4c-4eec-a794-b3f8000d7a72/transcript

Overview: Mercury retrograde gets blamed for everything. But what if it is actually one of the most powerful tools you have for changing your life?

Today I am breaking down what Mercury retrograde really is, why it happens, and how to work with it instead of against it. I share my best tips for the practical stuff (yes, double check your flights and read those contracts twice), and then I go deeper into the real gift of this transit: the chance to turn your communication inward, confront your inner critic, and rewrite the self talk that has been quietly blocking your manifestations.

I also talk about why your ex always texts during retrograde and what it actually means (spoiler: it is not an invitation to get back together). If you are ready to stop fearing Mercury retrograde and start using it, press play. And if this resonates, share it with a friend who needs to hear it!

Topics Covered:
What Mercury retrograde actually is and why it happens 3x a year
Why Mercury gets all the blame when every planet goes retrograde
Practical tips for navigating retrograde: flights, meetings, technology, and logistics
The contract rule and what to watch for before you sign anything
Why your ex texts you during retrograde and what it actually means
How retrograde energy spins communication inward and why that matters
Mercury retrograde in Pisces: journaling, meditation, and going deep
How to identify your inner critic and rewrite your negative self talk
Why your identity has to match your manifestation vision
Everything is a self fulfilling prophecy and how to use that to your advantage

You know that voice in your head? The one that says you are not ready, not enough, not there yet? What if that voice is NOT actually you?

Today I am sitting down with Krista Williams, co-host of Almost 30, transformation coach, and one of my closest friends. We talk about the inner narrator running your life without you knowing, the mother wound that shows up in business, and what it means to say no without guilt. I also deep dive into Krista's natal chart to see what astrological influences are at play for her personally right now. We get into her nodal return, the wound that lives in the most public part of her chart, and the message the stars are giving her right now in all areas of her life. 

Press play and dive in. And if this episode resonates, please share it with a friend who needs to hear it!

Topics Covered:
Why your inner critic is not your personality
What a nodal return is and why it changes everything
Reparenting yourself and becoming the mother you needed
Why there are no bad charts
2026 as a universal one year and what that means for you
The Saturn square and what it means for commitment
How people pleasing shows up in entrepreneurship

I'm Jill Wintersteen, and I believe your birth chart holds the key to creating the exact life you desire. Through inspiring conversations, I’ll read the charts of celebrities and fascinating people to help you understand your own cosmic design. As I decode how creative powerhouses channel their energy or how empire builders manifest success, you'll recognize pieces of yourself in their stories.

I also bring you expert conversations timed to each season's energy. Learn to manifest with Sagittarius fire. Find your worth during Virgo Season. Master relationships when Libra energy arrives. Plus, weekly mini-episodes break down specific chart elements like your rising sign, moon placement, or how to work with retrogrades.

In each episode, I’ll deliver practical tools for working with cosmic energy instead of against it. Through this mix of chart readings, seasonal wisdom, and cosmic education, you'll discover how successful people navigate the same patterns you do. Every episode delivers insights you can use immediately to transform your life.

Introducing: The Spirit Daughter Podcast

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/1a410217-b30a-4035-b25a-b3ef015d2871/transcript

Welcome to The Spirit Daughter Podcast, where we explore the cosmic energy of each season through expert conversations and dive deep into celebrity birth charts to help you understand your own astrological design. I'm Jill Wintersteen, and twice weekly, I'm bringing you powerful conversations that align with current cosmic weather alongside intimate chart readings that reveal how the stars shape extraordinary lives.

 

Every month brings a perfect mix. Through intimate chart reading with fascinating guests, you'll discover how these successful people work with their cosmic energy to create extraordinary lives. As I read their charts, you'll recognize pieces of yourself in their stories. Their Venus placement might mirror yours. Their rising sign challenges might sound exactly like your morning routine. Every celebrity chart becomes a mirror for understanding your own.

 

I’ll also feature interviews with experts based on the current astrological season. During Virgo Season, we’ll explore finding your worth through healing and rituals. When Capricorn Season arrives, we’ll discuss building empires while maintaining life balance. These expert episodes are timed to each Sun Season's themes, giving you real tools to work with the current cosmic energy. 

 

Each week brings you two powerful episodes. Our full-length shows feature either revealing chart readings or expert conversations perfectly timed to the season's opportunities. Every conversation will show you how to work with current cosmic weather to create real results in your life.

 

Plus, our weekly mini-episodes break down specific pieces of the natal chart. What does Mercury in your chart reveal about your communication style? How does your moon sign unlock emotional freedom? These quick cosmic downloads give you the knowledge to read your own chart like a pro.

 

Here's what makes this irresistible: while I'm reading a celebrity's chart or exploring seasonal themes with experts, you're learning to apply these insights to your own life. Every placement we discuss, every aspect we explore, every transit we navigate together becomes a lesson you can use immediately. It's like getting a personal astrology education through the stories of people you admire and wisdom from experts who've mastered these cosmic cycles.

 

Whether you're new to astrology or ready to go deeper, this show teaches you to speak the language of the stars through expert wisdom and the charts of fascinating people. Because when you understand how cosmic energy shows up in others and learn to work with seasonal themes, you recognize these patterns in yourself. And when you understand your own astrological makeup, you unlock the power to create the exact life you desire.
