In this episode of 'Is My Aura On Straight?', host Aycee Brown previews an Aries-heavy week with a Chiron cazimi on April 16 and a late-degree Aries New Moon on April 17. She describes how Chiron in Aries can illuminate shame, drive for excellence, and the need to put key life areas first Aycee urges listeners to use New Moon rituals for new beginnings after relationship themes highlighted by the Libra Full Moon. She offers guidance based on Human Design aura types: Manifestors should refine and clarify what they inform; Projectors should prioritize desires in the Aries house; Generators should reconnect to sacral/body signals; Manifesting Generators should focus; Reflectors should discern what burdens are truly theirs. The core lesson is that people aren't "starting over" but starting from lived credentials, with wounds as qualifications. Aycee cautions against performative "doing the work," modality-collecting without practice, and emphasizes incremental, embodied change, boundaries, and belief over motivation.   Click To Join Magical Mutha F*****g Mondays To work with me, hire me, or sponsor the podcast, please reach out to [email protected] My Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ayceebrown/ My TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ayceebrown

In this episode of 'Is My Aura On Straight?', host Aycee Brown explains the March 13th Mars – North Node conjunction at 8° Pisces as "fated action" toward destiny through intuitive surrender, pushing people out of stuck patterns. Aycee interprets the transit through human design types, urging Manifestors to initiate and inform unapologetically, Projectors to become visible for invitations, Generators to stop overriding their response, Manifesting Generators to focus on one thread, and Reflectors to leave unhealthy environments. The lesson centers on the spiritual question "what's the point," arguing alignment means "right," not easy, and requires making peace with the distance and the "boring middle." Aycee also discusses a "curiosity gap" between learning human design and embodying it, then critiques a broader comprehension crisis using CD liner notes as a metaphor for loss of critical reading and discernment.    Click To Join Magical Mutha F*****g Mondays To work with me, hire me, or sponsor the podcast, please reach out to [email protected] My Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ayceebrown/ My TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ayceebrown
