Hello and welcome back. Welcome back to Soma Magical the podcast with me Gisella Rose. This is not a new podcast, but I have not been uploading in a consistent manner. I uploaded my first episode in 2023 and here we are in 2025. And I think this may be my second one, but I do want to let you know that I will be moving forward from this episode. I'll beuploading every week and I will be chatting about all things soma magical and also going over some awesome pieces from my book, Elixir: A Journey into Ancestral Alchemology.
Alright, so yeah, hello and welcome back. Welcome back to SOMAmagical with me, Gisella Rose. Today, I want to open a sacred conversation that lives at the intersection of intuition, embodiment, ancestry and the stars. And lately, and maybe you have seen this too, I'm certain if you are in the wellness community, holistic spaces.
You've seen this rising current, more and more people being drawn to astrology in a more embodied way.
So like I mentioned in wellness spaces, yoga classes, more social media posts, you know, it's the moon circles are not just, you know, full moon or new moon. There's the astrological element that is getting brought into it more and more.
Maybe even with your own practice, it is something that you are incorporating and moving with more regularly in a more natural way. I want to stop for a moment here and ask a question. Why would we want to embody astrology? Why would we want to? What is the, you know, bringing that area of the body linking up with that astrological sign and embodying it in a practice if you are say born in March and you are a Pisces and You know neither of your either your moon or your rising neither are in Leo, But here we are in Leo season and we are embodying these Leo energies.
✨ Why would we want to right?
And for me personally, the way I see it, astrology isn't just a system, this method, a language, right? It's a remembering.
It's a way of listening, of weaving with the unseen, of understanding ourselves through movements and sensation and sacred timing.
And in this podcast, in this episode, this conversation, I am offering you, inviting you into this new method. And it's new, but it's not, but it is. It's an integration of old, bringing it into the new and answering this question of why.
It's a method that I've created called InBodying Astrology™ - And that's I-N-B-O-D-Y-I-N-G.
✨ not only about learning the birth chart, right? Learning our birth chart, our placements, but it's about living it, embodying it. It's about uncovering what is encoded in you and manifesting it into a lived experience.
This unique somatic method InBodying Astrology helps us embody our natal charts as a living code.
It's non-dogmatic. It's earth-rooted, spiral-based, and of course, cosmically inspired. This method moves beyond divination. It moves beyond horoscopes, and it moves beyond compatibility pairings, and complications and it's all great. It's beautiful. am absolutely, it's like it's my jam.
But it moves beyond that and it brings it into something a bit more simple, a lot more digestible and out of, divination and into incarnation. It really does help you feel your cosmic blueprints and it works with yes the areas of the body but also that links up to each sign but also moves through the three brains of the body, the gut brain, the heart brain and the head brain in connection with the chakra system as an energetic lens of integration and transformation.
✨ This work is rooted in Western astrology and as mentioned while it draws inspiration from the ancient practice of medical astrology. It's not a medical or diagnostic system. Instead, it's going to offer, and it does offer, a poetic and body-based way of connecting with the energetics and the essences imprinted in your chart. Your chart is not static. It's not a fixed map. It's a portal between the cosmos on the earth and it holds imprints of your past lives, ancestral echoes, and also the exact vibration when you first took your first breath.
🌀 That exact vibration when you took your first breath, which is so unique to you because anybody even being born at the same time, right? At the same time, same day is still not in that exact same moment, right there in that spot.
Right there, even a twin, the moments are slightly off right. That moment that you took your breath.
And for those who resonate with reincarnation, your chart may even carry those memories of cycles that you have returned Earth-side to complete.
And so instead of interpreting your chart solely through the mind, as like I explained with this prediction divination in the mind, right? Let's embody it.
Now lots of the, you know, in the wellness spaces and holistic spaces, a lot of the embodying astrology that is out there and that we see is all correspondence based astrology. That's what I like to call it and it is that, it's correspondence based astrology. It is, you know, it's Leo season and Leo is the lion and...
Leo connects with these keywords and this color and this herb and this chakra. All beautiful. These connections are beautiful. They are, they serve a purpose. They are starting points. So valid. This is how I also work with astrology in an embodied sense and in other ways too. I'll actually be doing some episodes coming up as well, moving through these astrological tools as well. So again, you know, give, give me a follow or like or whatever it is that we do with podcasts, I'm not sure. So you can stay notified when I post these wonderful, delicious episodes.
✨ So these connections are beautiful and starting points and they serve a purpose. But very often for myself I have experienced this and I've also had this being said to me in discussion and in conversation that very often they still remain external. There's still a disconnect and an understanding of why, why do I want to work in this way with that area, with that sign, you know, doesn't, I don't really like that sign or you know, whatever it may be, whatever it may be, right? And with InBodying Astrology™, you are invited into this felt sense.
You are invited into the sensation, into this deeper understanding of that why, bringing astrology inward. And this is where it becomes alive and lived, more intimate. And we're not just matching signs to symbols, we are remembering rhythms, we're tracing breath and memory through the somatic intelligence of the body. And from this remembering, we manifest. We create, we shake up the sediment so that we unveil and uncover this beautiful elixir that is in us, that we are.
✨ With practice and through presence and through this embodied knowing, we become this energy that we were born with because we already are. just need to, it's like, I like to explain it like a diamond or a gemstone with all these different facets and each facet gets polished and shined and you know, each experience and each, each moment and each sign and you know, throughout our life and we
We polish these different facets so that we can become the shiniest gem that we already are. We already are. We just need to shine it up, shake it up, dissolve the unnecessary.
So with InBodying Astrology™, we move with the moon. We spiral with the elements and breathe through the planets. It's a practice that aligns astrology with somatic exploration and intuitive embodiments. It also engages the nervous system, which is such a beautiful part of this as well. Engaging the nervous system with that real-time integration, bringing up and releasing and moving through with ease. Inviting ancestral memory to move through the body. Using movements and breath, sound, handshapes, visualisation, bunch of wonderful astrological tools too.
🌀 Honoring the spiral time, seasonal rhythms and lunar phases, and knowing and uncovering that each sign, each element and each planet all have a place in your soma, in your magical body, in your soma magic, and it's all a story to be remembered. And then reweaved through that remembering, created into a new.
Your body is the cauldron and your chart is like a recipe and your movements and integration and the the potion making Within your body and I will touch on this a little bit more You know further down in the episode and but I go into this in my book elixir, right? There's potion making this body potion making right? That becomes this elixir
✨ You are this elixir, this vessel, this body that you are moving through this life with, this beautiful...beautiful vessel.
So with this InBodying Astrology™, this method and this way of integration with astrology, with astrological energies and the zodiac, I'll be teaching a workshop coming up very soon, next month.
This is going to be a beautiful space to begin if this is something that you are interested in and will want to go further. If you really do work with astrology in this way or any other way and you want to just go further, you want to dive in deeper into embodying your charts with guidance and community and a LIVE somatic practice. In this workshop, I'm also going to touch on how to begin to open group spaces if you are a facilitator, a guide.
✨ Opening up group spaces where participants that come to the space, come to the class, they each bring their own individual natal essence with them. And then how you can work with that even without knowing everybody's natal essence, how you can work with that and mix it into the potion of that shared somatic journey and experience that you are about to guide, while still aligning with the energy of say the current moon phase at that time or astrological season
Be sure to join my mailing list. It's on gisellarose.com - will link everything in the description of this podcast as well. But I'll be sending out next week information about the InBodying Astrology™ workshop.
And if you want to go deeper as well, another layer, I invite you to explore my book, Elixir: A Journey into Ancestral Alchemology. And in Elixir, I guide you through a lineage-based approach to astrology in this embodied way. Through ancestral charts and moon tree mapping, somatic rituals, we trace how your natal code lives, not just in you, but also moves through and vibrates through generations past. With elemental archetypes and elixirs of memory and stories that are longing to be felt in the body that are already there, that are just being uncovered, moving through those sediments. It's definitely a companion for your journey and it's a bridge between the charts, your chart, and your physical, your bones, your roots, your you.
✨ I also offer private sessions, one-on-one sessions to embody your birth chart. Same thing, just go over to my website, gisellarose.com and you can find that information over there.
So I invite you to return to your body because that's where the magic happens. That's where the magic happens in the body.
InBodying Astrology™ is here to help you spiral inward to decode your own rhythms and to awaken the felt sense of your chart as a dance of breath of memory and magic, not through prediction, but through presence, through embodiment and manifestation, creating, being the creatrix of your own reality that's already there, uncovering, working with the code that's already been given to you.
💖 So thank you for listening. Thank you for listening. Being here until the end.
Remember you are the ritual, you are the rhythm, you are the remembrance, you are the stardust, the same stuff that the stars are made of, we are made of. So wouldn't it make sense to manifest through this beautiful stardust pattern that you brought into this world when you were born, when you took your first breath?
✨You are the magic, your body, and it's time for you to wake your magic.
Until next time So much love and stay magical out there and I will catch you on the next episode.
🌹
