In this episode, I'm setting aside the heavy topics to talk about something lighter: wine, place, and how your astrocartography can guide you to the bottles (and regions) that resonate most with your chart.

Astrocartography Basics

• How to read your astrocartography map on astro.com (it's free!)
• What those lines and bubbles actually mean
• Why AC, DC, IC, and MC angles matter when choosing wine

The Planetary Rulers of Wine

• Venus: The primary ruler of wine, vineyards, and savoring pleasure
• Jupiter: Celebration, abundance, and knowing your limits
• Moon: Soil memory, lineage, and emotional resonance
• Sun: Vitality, recognition, and confidence
• Neptune: Mysticism, ritual, and (watch out for) escapism

How to Use Astrocartography for Wine

• Find wines from your Venus line for sensual, slow enjoyment
• Jupiter line wines for celebration and expansion
• Moon line wines for emotional grounding and nostalgia
• Sun line wines for confidence and achievement
• Why AC lines are the gold standard

My Personal Wine Journey

• How I realized I was drinking California wines (my Saturn line) during my darkest period
• My Saturn Return and sobriety journey
• How I now choose wines from my Venus AC (South America), Sun lines (New Zealand, Portugal), and Moon/Venus (South of France)
• The South African Neptune wine that literally went bad (a perfect metaphor)

Danielle shares a channeled live transmission that came through during the 2024 Lion's Gate portal. What emerged was a direct connection with Dom, a priest from Atlantis, and the higher council governing the golden consciousness available to us during this time.

This explores the polar relationship between the Age of Leo (when Atlantis thrived 13,000 years ago) and our current Age of Aquarius, understanding why so many of us are Atlantean souls who haven't incarnated since that time, and receiving specific guidance on how to navigate being advanced spiritual beings in a world that's only beginning to awaken.

If you've ever felt like you don't quite belong here, if you're struggling to launch your healing business because of fear, if you're bored or underwhelmed by 3D reality, or if you sense you're here to work with technology in ways that transcend the physical, this transmission is for you!

Inside this transmission, we explore
• The relationship between the future, the present, and the release of the past
• Leo and Aquarius as opposing but complementary forces across time
• Atlantis, spiritual leadership, gridwork, and energetic technology
• Why many healers feel resistance, fear, or boredom in this timeline
• The invitation to stop explaining spiritual work and start embodying it
• Technology as frequency, not object, and the role consciousness plays in shaping it
• How to opt out of collective drama without disengaging from the world

This was originally recorded live and includes moments of spontaneous dialogue and transmission. It is best received through the body rather than the mind.
