jessa and kelsey are back in swap-cast mode to talk about what it's like to be anchored in our (human design) inner authorities.
we have watched our ability to anchor to inner authority as a means to clearing both relational codependency and codependency with the state.
we talk about it a little in this share, and invite you to sign up for our 5 week course - inOur Authority - starting October 28th.
learn more about the course at kelseyrosetort.com/authority.

an energetic attunement and intellectual reframe about what might actually be happening in your body when your mind registers "imposter syndrome," and how your individual experience of such is connected to the story of humanity's evolution unfolding now.

interrupting the maia games feed to introduce you to my newest podcast project: LIVING YOUR DESIGN. This is the first episode. You can catch the rest on it's own feed.
Check out the description below, and if you're into it be sure to follow / subscribe to the LYD Podcast on your fave podcast platform.
Head to patreon.com/kelseyrosetort for perks and resources and to get in orbit with me.
The LYD Podcast is Your Comprehensive Introduction to the Human Design System - a free, audio-only release of the standard foundational Human Design curriculum as taught by IHDS Certified LYD Guide, Kelsey Rose Tortorice.
This transmission of Human Design fundamentals clarifies the basics, including core principles and mechanics, centers, aura type, strategy, authority, and profile. Kelsey demystifies these concepts so that listeners can understand how every piece is rooted in a clear, cosmic, mechanical system, as well as how they’re all synthesized together for practical, differentiated, embodied application.
The LYD podcast is a great place to begin your Human Design studies. It's also a fitting place to fill in the holes from self-study, to challenge the superficial understandings that are especially susceptible to mental distortion, or to revisit these foundations with the intent to integrate them in a more rooted, intuitive, personal, and radically honest way.
noah souder-russo enters the matrix in this conversation that weaves together lots of intersecting elements of our spiritual and deconditioning journeys.
we eventually land into some story-telling and exploration around a revelation we came to together about what is really at the root of the “not self” pain and tendencies of the undefined solar plexus. is it actually “avoidance of truth and confrontation” or is there something underneath all that?
on our way there, we talk about:
noah is 1/4 splenic projector on the cross of eden. his cancer ascendant is ruled by a taurus moon, and his sun is in virgo.

2027: the breakdown - purchase course
this episode is a heart to heart to heart with Travis Day (1/3 Splenic Projector on the Cross of Consciousness), Vaness Henry (6/2 Ego Manifestor on the Cross of Healing), any myself (5/2 Emotional Manifestor on the Cross of Upheaval.)
it's equal parts raw, deep and delightful, and is an interesting, honest, and maybe a little confronting demonstration of three defined egos meeting one another.

As the age of the Cross of Planning comes to an end, we are witnessing a breakdown of collective structures, agreements, and conditions that had been assumed to be permanent components of our reality. In 2027, the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix will emerge as the new, primary background frequency on the planet and reorient all of humanity from these structures and the values that created them towards an era of individuality.
This episode is a pre game chat before the class 2027: THE BREAKDOWN with Kelsey & Jessa, which starts on Monday, April 28th 2025.
In 2027: THE BREAKDOWN, we’re breaking down the mechanics of this upcoming global paradigm shift, demystifying the “prophetic” sentiments around 2027, and showing you where it actually comes from. We want you to be able to see and understand it for yourself through the lens of your unique and intuitive perception, and to gain a greater sense of trust in your ability to navigate what is taking place on the collective stage as the differentiated individual that you are.
life is suffering because that's how god likes it. and we love (& are) god, so we like it too.

i love bringing you these big picture cosmic context episodes, and i'm so grateful that jonathan invited me to collaborate on a 2025 astrological forecast this year, because otherwise i probably would not have created one.
in part one (on jonathan's podcast healing the spirit) we focus on the undertones in 2025: pluto in aquarius, chiron in aries, and uranus in taurus & gemini).
in part two (this episode) we contemplate the nodes in virgo/pisces, saturn moving from pisces to aries, and jupiter moving from gemini to cancer.
Jonathan is a lunar thinker, a spirit healer, and a creative exorcist.
Jonathan guides & inspires visionaries, artists, and seekers to re-arrange reality without losing their shit.

it’s the final installment of the 2024 cosmic context series!
this one is not so much a linear forecast as it is a long and unedited conversation with two of my longer term internet astro buds as i gradually make my way back into work stuff after taking parental leave and becoming a mother.
we talk about whats happenin' in The World and in our individual worlds and how we as astrologers are making sense of it all when we observe it through our cosmically minded eyes.
we take quite a while to revisit big picture themes for 2024 including the unfolding transits of pluto, neptune, uranus, chiron, saturn, jupiter, and the nodes, and then eventually make our way to dissecting the more specific cosmic context for the last quarter of the year: libra, scorpio, and sagittarius seasons per the transits of mars, venus, mercury, and lunations.
