The Inner Circle with Daje AlohUranus in Gemini, Pt. II :: Transit Notes and HoroscopesIn this episode of the Inner Circle Podcast, we break open the long arc of Uranus in Gemini—an eight-year transit (2025–2033) that signals deep disruption in how we think, speak, connect, and lead. Uranus, the planetary force of upheaval and innovation, enters the mutable air sign of Gemini to catalyze a cultural and personal revolution: in language, identity, systems of knowledge, and the deeper archetypes that shape how we relate to change.We explore the historical echoes of this transit—how every past cycle of Uranus in Gemini has aligned with major wars and revolutions in U.S. his...2025-07-2848 minThe Inner Circle with Daje AlohLove Notes for Your Vision, Leo EditionIn this episode of the Inner Circle Podcast, we explore the archetype of Leo and what it teaches us about creative expression, pleasure, and leadership rooted in authenticity. Leo season invites us to remember that our brilliance isn’t something to shrink or tone down—it’s something to be shared. As visionaries, artists, and changemakers navigating a complex world, it’s easy to question whether our joy and self-expression are still relevant or responsible. But Leo reminds us that joy is generative. Beauty is strategic. Pleasure is a legitimate measure of success.We talk about the creative...2025-07-2616 minThe Inner Circle with Daje AlohNeptune / Saturn Conjunction :: Timeline Work, Multiplicity, and the Power of ChoiceIn this episode, we explore astrology as a guide for visionary decision-making, focusing on the current Neptune–Saturn conjunction and its invitation into decision-making and energetic maturity. This is a deep dive into the paradox of multiplicity and direction—how to move even when clarity is murky, how to lead a life of many callings, and how astrology supports this nonlinear unfolding.Through a lens that blends developmental psychology, personal mythology, and soul-level vocation, we unpack what it means to choose a path without collapsing other possibilities. If you’ve ever wrestled with being multi-passionate or feared “getting...2025-07-2327 minThe Inner Circle with Daje AlohReimagining Leadership and Influence :: New Moon in Leo :: Gate 31In this episode of the Inner Circle Podcast, we explore the Leo New Moon as a gateway for reimagining influence, leadership, and the energetic currency of trust. Rooted in Human Design Gate 31—the Gate of Influence—this lunation teaches us that real leadership is not self-appointed. It must be recognized, invited, and trusted over time. We move beyond performance and virality into the slow, relational work of becoming trustworthy.This episode offers a deeper look at how lunar cycles—especially the New and Full Moons—act as threshold rituals for visionaries. Through these cyclical rites, we’re invited to...2025-07-2327 minThe Inner Circle with Daje AlohAstrology for the Visionary ProcessAstrology is one of the most underestimated tools for building vision, a business, or a creative project. Why? Because whether we’re conscious of it or not, we’re always working with astrology.It is an ancient mythic language that is woven into our relationship with time, technology, and the seasons. When we rise early to work, we’re moving with the Sun; an archetype of will, clarity, and the ego’s drive to shape reality. When we slow down in the evening, we’re moving with the Moon; an archetype of change, intuition, and the pull toward inn...2025-07-2239 minThe Inner Circle with Daje AlohUranus Series, Pt.

The episode also highlights the interplay...2025-07-0722 minThe Inner Circle with Daje AlohThe Creative Rites of Summer“Am I doing this right?” is the number one question I’ve heard over the years in my Vision Midwifery work. It’s a question I often ask myself sometimes, when I feel the fear of rejection blooming in my chest.This question is often a signal that some part of what we’re doing, creating, destroying, cultivating, building, and unbuilding carries risk. We risk losing something—belonging, trust, friendship, material possessions, our ego, et cetera.“Am I doing this right?” is a Summer question. A South question. Because in this question, we can feel the heat ri...2025-06-2825 min

Centauric consciousness may be what helps us discern these boundaries and act accordingly…Their region [the Kuiper Belt] contains what is trying to die and what is trying to be reborn."Melanie Reinhart, On Chiron, Pholus, and Nessus This is a pu...2025-04-1835 min
