   🎙️Seven-Eight Magic: A Conversation with Stephanie Foley of Moonfeather Hollow

   🎙️ Seven-Eight Magic: A Conversation with Stephanie FoleyA Magicians interview with Alison of Living the Spiral Stephanie Foley of Moon Feather Hollow joins Living the Spiral for a conversation that started with a shared obsession over the number seven and unfolded into something bigger: the relationship between seven as process and eight as the structure that holds it. We trace this through Inanna's eight-point star and seven gates, the seven planetary days of the week, grief and the gold buried in returning cycles, the masculine wound around shedding and regeneration, and the shift from matriarchy and patriarchy toward what Stephanie calls synarchy. In this episode: How Stephanie and Alison found each other through Substack and recognized a shared body of work Inanna's descent, the seven gates, and the eight-point star Why seven is the living process and eight is the structure that holds it Returning to old grief from a new vantage point in the cycle Building a life around the seven planetary days Moon Feather Hollow as an imaginal sanctuary The masculine wound and the fear of shedding Moving from matriarchy and patriarchy toward synarchy Asynchronous voice notes and untethering from performance A shared Jupiter placement in Gate 34, the gate of power Find Stephanie:Website: moonfeatherhollow.com (http://moonfeatherhollow.com)Substack: Seasons and Stars (stephaniefoley.substack.com (http://stephaniefoley.substack.com))YouTube: Moon Feather Hollow Find Alison:Substack: Living the SpiralInstagram: @hearthandspiralWebsite & sessions: hearthandspiral.com (http://hearthandspiral.com)Alison's Ecosomatic Astrology course opens this fall, six Tuesdays on Zoom, September 22 through October 27.

   🎙️ The Roots and the Fruit: Fire, Air, and the Eclipse Portal

   Both Ends of the Axis My Uranus opposition landed the same day as the Leo solar eclipse, and it taught me something about integration, fire and air, and letting go of nodal shame. In this episode: two eclipses landing on my personal planets a year apart, fruit-versus-mycelium and flowers vs. wildfires, and why every axis in the chart needs both ends instead of a winner. Mentioned in this episode: Sign up for my new course Ecosomatic Astrology 101, starting September 22nd on the fall equinox → https://www.hearthandspiral.com/ecosomatic-astrology-human-design (https://www.hearthandspiral.com/ecosomatic-astrology-human-design) Ecosomatic Human Design (bundle discount if you take both, plus a free one-on-one consultation) If you've got Leo or Aquarius placements, or this eclipse landed on your own personal planets, I'd love to hear where it showed up for you.
