Full Moon in Taurus, Gate 2

Join Daje Aloh for a solo episode exploring the Full Moon in Taurus happening November 5th in Human Design Gate 2, the Gate of Receptivity. After an intense eclipse season and challenging transits, this moon offers a warm reprieve, inviting us to slow down and receive through the body.

Gate 2, emerging from the G Center, embodies the pure yin principle and the structural foundation that chooses and incubates new life. This moon asks: What vision are you being called to become pregnant with? What are you ready to release to make space for something new?

With harmonious aspects to both the South Node in Virgo and North Node in Pisces, this lunar moment supports leveraging what you've learned about wholeness and self-prioritization while honoring your inner knowing about what is next. Learn how to work with this erotic, grounding energy to bring your visions into cellular reality through conscious co-creation with the divine.

The Ecology of Your Online Presence

What if your online presence isn't a brand to be managed, but an ecosystem to be tended?

In this episode, we explore a radically different way of thinking about your work online. Instead of treating your business as a personal brand that needs to be optimized, controlled, and broadcast to the masses, what if you understood yourself as a node within a living, breathing digital ecosystem—playing a unique role that only you can play?

This shift from managing to tending, from broadcasting to cultivating, changes everything about how you show up online and how you relate to the work of building your business in digital spaces.

Rewriting Your Digital Philosophy

We're standing at an incredible threshold as a species. The astrological landscape—Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius—is telling the story of massive technological transformation. Whether we're ready or not, AI, digital infrastructure, and rapid technological change are here.

This episode is about acknowledging a hard truth: opting out isn't really an option anymore

But that doesn't mean we're powerless. Instead of being reactive or trying to pump the brakes, we can rewrite our digital philosophy—claim our agency, build with intentionality, and become world builders rather than content creators hoping for algorithm scraps.

When Instagram is a Crazed Bazaar

In this episode, host Daje Aloh pulls back the curtain on what's really happening between creative entrepreneurs and Instagram. This isn't about making you feel bad for using social media. It's about having an honest conversation about how the platform has changed, how it affects our nervous systems, and why your resistance to showing up online might not be about your "capacity for visibility" at all.

If you've been feeling hives on your body the moment you open Instagram, if you've been told you just need to do more somatic work to expand your visibility capacity, or if you're exhausted from pouring your heart into the algorithm only to receive crumbs in return—this episode is for you.

How to Be Strategic without Losing Your Soul

There's a fear that lives in the bones of wild-hearted entrepreneurs: If I get too strategic, I'll lose the magic. So many of us swing between extremes—spending months in pure intuition waiting for clients to materialize, then overcorrecting into hustle mode only to feel hollow and disconnected. But what if you didn't have to choose between strategy and soul?

In this episode, I introduce the concept of mythopoetic entrepreneurship—the practice of consciously writing a soul-level story through your work. Your business isn't just an offering; it's an expression of the prayers you've caught from the collective consciousness and the earth's desire for herself.

I walk you through the Journey of Sacred Self-Initiation, a framework rooted in the four directions that helps you integrate:

  • Imagination – Your visionary capacity to see what's possible
  • Intuition – Your inner knowing beyond logical explanation
  • Instinct – Your embodied, somatic wisdom that keeps you alive
  • Intention – Your clarity and commitment to what you're building

When you learn to work with all four elements instead of getting stuck in one mode, you stop oscillating between extremes. You build a business that has structure and spirit, strategy and soul.

This is the maturation process every visionary entrepreneur needs—and it's what we practice together inside Worldbuilding School.

New Moon in Libra, Gate 50

Join hosts Daje James and Sarah Belpedio for a deep exploration of the New Moon in Libra at Gate 50, which happened on Tuesday, October 21st at 5:24 AM Pacific Standard Time. This powerful lunar event marks the threshold crossing from Libra season into Scorpio season, inviting us to recalibrate our values and navigate the space between individuation and reconnection.

In this episode, we explore the Gate of Values in human design (also called "the cauldron" in the I Ching) and discuss how this new moon invites us to discern what is truly ours—our desires, values, and futures—from what belongs to others. The conversation weaves together themes of nourishment, sacred responsibility, instinct versus intuition, and the art of disconnecting to reconnect more authentically.

How to Quiet-Quit Social Media, pt. 2: Building Traffic, Leads, and Customers Off of Instagram

In Part One of this impromptu series, we explored the why behind quiet quitting Instagram—the philosophical shift from hoping to stay relevant through the feed to deeply serving your community. We talked about shifting from broadcasting your story to building meta-worlds (more on this soon). We talked about honoring your ecological niche instead of chasing vanity metrics.

But here's what I see happen over and over again → entrepreneurs get inspired by these ideas, they decide to pull back from Instagram, and then... it crashes and burns. Not because the philosophy was wrong. Not because they weren't committed. But because they tried to leave without building the infrastructure first.

Today, we're talking about how to solve the real problem with going offline so you can actually live out that quiet quitting philosophy without tanking your business.

How to Quiet-Quit Social Media
  • Join us for the Missing Piece free 2-hour, done-with-you workshop on quiet-quitting social media while building an online business.


If you're an entrepreneur who's exhausted from chasing viral trends, optimizing every post, and pouring your heart into content that disappears into the void—you are not alone. There's a growing movement of service-based business owners who are choosing a different path: quiet-quitting social media.

What Does It Mean to Quiet Quit Social Media?
Borrowed from Gen Z workplace, quiet quitting social media means doing the bare minimum on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn without completely abandoning them overnight. You show up, but you stop giving more energy than required. Quiet Quitting is not disappearing entirely (which could genuinely hurt your business). Instead, it's about a philosophical shift in how you approach marketing.

You stop:

  • Hoping to go viral
  • Scrolling endlessly to study what others are doing
  • Following every "expert" who promises the secret formula
  • Pouring your heart and soul into every post
  • Trying to game the algorithm

You start:

  • Focusing radically on your mission
  • Speaking directly to the people you're meant to serve
  • Building a world for your ideal clients, not for the masses
  • Decentering yourself and making your audience the hero of their own story
  • Reclaiming your energy

Join us for the Missing Piece free 2-hour, done-with-you workshop on quiet-quitting social media while building an online business.

The Creative Rites of Autumn (+ a new podcast name change!)

Welcome to the Soft Earthen Futures podcast, previously called the Inner Circle Podcast. New era, new podcast name.

About the Episode:

So many creatives and entrepreneurs treat Autumn like extended Summer. A time to launch, to scale, to keep the momentum going. But Autumn is not here to help you maintain your pace. She's not asking you to stay consistent, to keep all the plates spinning, or to preserve the facade that everything is working perfectly.

Autumn is the season of descent. She is the season of severance.

She asks you to look around at what is changing, what is dying, what is composting back into the earth and to trust that this dying is not failure. It is a reconfiguration of the soul.

Full Moon in Aries, Gate 21

This Full Moon in Aries, Gate 21 asks: where are you gripping for control when what you really need is to step into your authority?

In this episode, I'm joined by Sarah Belpedio—Storywork Studio team member and my new co-host for the Lunar Rites series—for a deep dive into Gate 21, the gate of control, and what it means to release our grip on outcomes while staying grounded in our power.

We explore:

  • How Gate 21 shows up for entrepreneurs, visionaries, and anyone trying to control every detail of their work and life
  • The difference between ease and easy—and why people pleasing is just another form of control
  • Sarah's personal story of surrendering the need to "have her own business" and how that opened doors to effortless, aligned work
  • How this eclipse season has been surgery, and this moon is inviting us to shake off what surfaced
  • The practice of de-manifestation and working with the waning moon cycle
  • Why releasing control doesn't mean abandoning your authority—it means accessing the finesse and precision of the hunter

This conversation weaves together human design, astrology, Daoist wisdom, and embodied practice to help you navigate this lunar portal with clarity and sovereignty.

  • The Worldbuilding School (now open for enrollment)
  • The Lunar Rites practice
  • Eclipse Season Reflections

How to Shift Reality, Pt. 4: Manifesting People and the Law of Assumption

Here’s the truth: people respond to the story your body is already broadcasting. If your self-concept says “I’m not worthy of love,” you’ll unconsciously emanate that belief and attract experiences that confirm it. When you shift your self-concept — at the level of your nervous system, not just your thoughts — you emanate something different. And others respond.
