Hey beautiful! I’m back with another magical installment of the Thrive & Design Astrology Series — and yes, I know this episode is fashionably late (life got life-ing, y’all 🫶), but I promise it’s worth the wait!

Today, I’m joined by the wildly insightful Lowkie Reed — a practicing witch from the misty Pacific Northwest and an unapologetic Aries theirself 🔥♈. We’re unpacking all the fiery feels of Aries season, including the very real challenges of navigating stubborn energy, impulsiveness, and that trademark Aries I'm-always-right vibe (looking at you, Daniel 😅 — love you, babe).

Oh, and let’s not forget: Mercury is in retrograde, so communication? Yeah… it's giving “try again later.” Whether you're loving an Aries, working with one, or are one (👀), this episode is full of juicy insights, laughs, and spiritual tea to help you thrive through the chaos — and keep your peace intact.

✨PLUS: I just dropped a brand new ebook that’s all about reclaiming your power and protecting your energy (especially when fire signs be fire-signing). Head HERE to grab your copy — trust me, you’re gonna want this in your spiritual toolkit!

Thanks for your patience, your presence, and your love. Let’s cozy up and dive in. Big hugs & good vibes always 🤍
