EP11: Astrology, Soul Maps & Life Cycles: Understanding Personal Energy, Purpose and Power

In this deeply reflective conversation, Lisa is joined by astrologer and intuitive consultant Michelle Wollaston to explore how astrology, personal energy cycles, and human design can offer profound insight into our emotional wellbeing, life purpose, and major life transitions.

Michelle explains how a natal chart acts as a blueprint for understanding your unique energetic makeup, with planetary rulers and astrological houses influencing how you experience life. Together, they discuss the impact of astrological transits, moon phases, and significant milestones such as Saturn returns and Chiron returns, particularly during midlife, when many women are called into deeper reflection, healing, and self-awareness.

The conversation also explores emotional patterns linked to moon phases and zodiac signs, including how Scorpio moon energy can intensify emotions, intuition, and exhaustion—especially for water signs. Michelle shares practical guidance on setting boundaries, reducing external noise, and learning to listen to intuition rather than fear or societal expectations.

Moving beyond astrology alone, Michelle introduces human design and explains how understanding your personal design type, such as generator or projector, can transform how you approach work, relationships, and decision-making. She also shares how she creates personalised "Soul Maps" for clients using birth data, natal charts, and progressed moons to help navigate life purpose, karmic lessons, and current challenges.

The episode widens into an important discussion on women’s empowerment, power imbalances, and the silencing of survivor voices across industries. Lisa and Michelle speak candidly about systemic abuse, the role of fear and complicity, and the importance of education, self-worth, and awareness for future generations. Michelle also shares her work amplifying survivor voices through media and publishing platforms.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune inward, and reconnect with your personal rhythm, honouring both the cosmic cycles and the inner wisdom guiding your path.
