    Jupiter in Leo, Creator Burnout, and Authentic Self Expression

    Jupiter enters Leo on June 30th, 2026, but honestly, I think this transit is about far more than confidence, creativity, or “stepping into the spotlight.”It arrives during one of the biggest collective shifts we’ve experienced in years.With Pluto already moving through Aquarius, Saturn and Neptune beginning a new cycle in Aries, Uranus newly entering Gemini, the North Node shifting into Aquarius just weeks later, and a Leo Solar Eclipse shortly after that, I think this transit is describing something much bigger around identity, visibility, technology, and authentic self expression.In this episode, I talk about:why visibility feels emotionally different nowthe psychological impact of constant online perceptioncreator burnout and branding fatigueauthenticity vs performative identityPluto in Aquarius and technological identitythe Leo-Aquarius axis and collective evolutionthe Sleeping Phoenix Eraand why Jupiter in Leo may feel surprisingly vulnerable for a lot of peopleBecause being seen is not the same thing as feeling safe being visible.And honestly, I think this astrology is asking much bigger questions about humanity, creativity, identity, and self expression in the digital age than most people realize.Read the full Jupiter in Leo blog post:https://bonniesorsby.com/jupiter-in-leo-2026/Explore Your Beautiful Birth Chart™:https://bonniesorsby.com/your-beautiful-birth-chart/Explore Your Personal Pattern™:https://bonniesorsby.com/your-personal-pattern/And the Expression Guide I mention in the episode:https://bonniesorsby.com/product/the-expression-guide/

    Why Astrology Feels Confusing Sometimes

    Astrology can feel especially confusing when you’re looking at your birth chart one placement at a time.Your rising sign, your North Node, your 10th house… each one holds meaning, but on their own, they rarely give you a full answer. And that’s usually where things start to feel disconnected.In this episode, I’m walking through why your birth chart might not be making sense yet—and the shift that changes everything.Astrology isn’t just about learning what each placement means. It’s about synthesis and pattern recognition—seeing how your rising sign, North Node, houses, and planetary placements actually work together.We’ll talk through:Rising sign vs North Node and what each actually representsCareer in astrology beyond the 10th house (including the 6th house, MC, and Saturn influence)The real meaning of the 2nd house and your relationship to money and valueMoon vs IC and how your emotional patterns are shapedWhy astrology starts to click when you stop isolating placementsIf you’ve ever felt like you understand astrology “in pieces” but can’t quite put it all together, this episode will help you see your chart in a more connected, usable way.This is where astrology moves beyond surface-level interpretations and becomes something you can actually apply to your life, your work, and your personal growth.bonniesorsby.com/astrology

    The Patterns in Your Birth Chart | The Story Behind Your Personal Pattern™

    In this solo episode, I’m sharing the story behind Your Personal Pattern™, and the two related offerings evolving from it: Your Beautiful Birth Chart™ and Your Contribution Pattern™.These reports came from a realization that changed how I think about astrology. Instead of looking at charts placement by placement, I became more interested in the pattern underneath someone’s life.I also talk honestly about my love for one-on-one astrology readings… and why they can also be incredibly energetically demanding. Writing and building tools allows me to share the insights I’ve gained from studying charts with far more people than my nervous system could ever handle through individual sessions.This episode is ultimately about sharing the heart behind these projects, how they evolved, and why they feel so meaningful to me.If you’ve ever wondered why certain themes keep repeating in your life, or how your chart fits together as a whole, this conversation might resonate.https://bonniesorsby.com/astrology/As a little thanks for being here, please feel free to use code PATTERN to take $10 off Your Personal Pattern.https://bonniesorsby.com/your-personal-pattern

    Reclamation | First Female Palm Beach & Women's Art Week 2026

    In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, host Bonnie Sorsby sits down with three of the women behind one of Palm Beach County's most exciting creative movements — First Female and its annual Women's Art Week. Joining the roundtable are Gaby Viteri, founder of First Female, ceramicist and Avenue Pottery founder Lani Goodrich, and multidisciplinary artist Hayley Sheldon.Together, they unpack the theme of this year's Women's Art Week — Reclamation — and what it means to reclaim creativity, childhood, materials, space, and joy. The conversation goes deep on the relationship between play and serious artistic practice, how running a creative business can pull you away from pure creation, the energetics of art-making and how it lands for viewers, and why community changes everything for women working in the creative world.You'll also get a peek inside the lineup of events happening March 6–15 across Palm Beach County — from an intimate six-woman show inside a church, to works-in-progress on display, to acoustic concerts and shamanic prayer experiences.If you've ever felt the pull between the business of making and the pure joy of it — this one's for you.🔗 First Female: firstfemalepb.com | @firstfemalepb🔗 Gaby Viteri: @gaby_viteri_🔗 Hayley Sheldon: hayleysheldon.com | @hayleysheldon🔗 Lani Goodrich / Avenue Pottery: avenuepottery.com | @avenuepottery🔗 Bonnie Sorsby: bonniesorsby.com | @bonniesorsbyart

    Release the Pressure: Women, Venting & Building What’s Next with Jennifer Grove

    This conversation surprised me.Jennifer and I didn’t come in with a tight plan. We just started talking — first about her work with women and anger, about how often we say “I’m fine” when we’re not, about how much emotion gets stored instead of moved.She calls herself a nervous system whisperer and a venting coach, which honestly makes so much sense once you hear her talk about it. We got into what it means to actually let something move through the body instead of just ruminating on it. The 90-second rule. Why suppressing anger doesn’t make it disappear. Why pressure builds.Then we shifted into building things as entrepreneurs. Beta offers. Refining containers. Launching imperfectly. Rewriting funnels. The uncomfortable parts of entrepreneurship no one is really talking about.It struck me while editing this that the thread was the same the whole time...Pressure builds in the body.Pressure builds in business.And if you don’t let it move, it turns into something else.This one felt honest. And so needed.Jennifer Grove works with women who are emotionally exhausted and ready to release what’s been building underneath the surface.You can find her here:https://www.jgrovewellness.com/https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.j.grovehttps://www.instagram.com/jgrovewellness/Learn more about Bonnie here:https://bonniesorsby.com/https://bonniesorsby.com/podcastYour Personal Pattern can be found here:https://bonniesorsby.com/your-personal-pattern/

Laura specializes in helping adult children who are supporting a parent with dementia when they do not live in the same home.Laura’s dad was diagnosed with dementia when she was twenty-eight.

    Projector Energy, Leadership & Authentic Expression with Terri-Ann Richards

    In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, I’m joined by leadership expert Terri-Ann Richards for a real-time walk-through of my Expression Guide — a tool I created to help people understand how their authentic voice is meant to be expressed through astrology and human design.I’m Bonnie Sorsby — a multidisciplinary artist and brand strategist who brings together creative direction, intuitive insight, and grounded astrology to help people express who they truly are. Through art, design, and chart work, I support clients in finding a voice, visual identity, and way of showing up that actually feels good.Terri-Ann bravely volunteered to explore her own expression in this session, and what unfolded was a deeply resonant conversation about leadership, energy, timing, and the truth of finding your voice.Together, they explore:Why Terri-Ann’s voice lands as clear, precise, and practical (and how perfectionism tries to keep it quiet).How her nonlinear, intuitive inner world shapes the way she speaks, teaches, and leads.The role of Venus and Mars in the 11th house and why her work always circles back to community, spotlighting others, and serving the greater good.What it really means to be a Projector with a defined throat in human design — including timing, invitations, and why she can’t (and shouldn’t) work like her Generator friends.The “gates of expression” in her chart that speak to simplifying complex ideas, sharing lived experience, and waiting for the right emotional wave before she speaks.How burnout, boundaries, and delegation have reshaped the way she uses her voice and energy as a leader.If you’ve ever wondered “Why can’t I show up the way other entrepreneurs do?” or felt like your voice is “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “too different,” this conversation will feel like a permission slip to honor your own design.About Terri-Ann RichardsTerri-Ann is the founder of Lighthouse Leaders Group, where she helps organizations and leaders build inner capacity — resilience, grit, and adaptability — through consulting, training, speaking, and writing.Her upcoming book, Becoming the Eight Percent, is all about rewiring your mind, rewriting your story, and rising anyway.Her upcoming TEDx talk on the belief gap and why so many people don’t pursue their potential because of fear of judgment and ridicule.Connect with Terri-Ann:terriannrichards.com | LinkedIn | IG: @terriann_richardsWant to explore your own authentic expression?My Expression Guide helps you understand how your voice naturally wants to move through the world — rooted in the insights of astrology and human design and designed to make your communication feel more natural, aligned, and sustainable.Learn more about Bonnie:bonniesorsby.com | @bonniesorsbyart

    In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, I’m joined by my sister-in-law, Julianna aka “Jules” —doula, menstruality guide, and the creator behind JULES ALMA, a space devoted to honest, deep, holistic insights on living a blissful life in a female body.Jules believes that women’s bodies are widely misunderstood and undernourished in our modern world, and she’s devoted her work to helping women reconnect to the wisdom we were never taught to honor. We talk about cyclical living, the emotional and physical power of our bleed, how to nourish ourselves through each phase of our cycle, and why living in tune with our hormones can bring more ease, clarity, and vitality into everyday life.She also shares about Yoni mapping—what it is, how it works, and why this long-forgotten practice can be so transformative for emotional release, pelvic health, and deep reconnection with the most innervated part of our bodies.If you’ve ever felt like you “should” know more about your cycle, or you’ve been craving a more grounded, holistic approach to women’s health, this conversation will feel like sitting with a warm cup of tea and finally getting the education you always needed.Connect with Jules:Website: https://julesalma.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julesalmabirth/Connect with Bonnie:Website: https://bonniesorsby.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bonniesorsbyart/

    Uranus in Gemini & the Energy of 7/7

    The 7/7 portal brought a shift that’s hard to name, but easy to feel. Uranus just entered Gemini, completing a moment where all outer planets are in new signs.

    The Fears We All Carry: Human Design, the Spleen Center, and Moving Forward Anyway

In this episode, I explore the subtle fears that live in the Spleen Center of Human Design.From the fear of failure to the fear of responsibility, I share gentle insights and dissolving practices tied to each gate in the Spleen. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of how fear moves through your life and how to begin softening its grip.While this episode speaks to these fears in the context of our Human Design spleen gates, you do not need to have your chart pulled up to find connection and value in exploring these.

    What is Energetic Branding?

    Energetic branding is about resonance. It’s the vibe people feel when they land on your website, scroll your content, or hear you speak. It’s how your visuals, words, and offers align with the energy behind them. Not just what you say, but how you say it. Not just what you offer, but what it stands for. It’s the invisible thread that makes your brand magnetic, memorable, and deeply you.https://bonniesorsby.com/psychology-of-energetic-branding/My website is very search friendly too.. just search "energetic branding" or "psychology" for all posts related to these topics.

If it was valuable once, it’s still valuable now....

    Before You Build Your Business on Social Media… Listen to This

    Social media can be a powerful tool for business growth, but it’s not a business strategy on its own.In this episode, I’m sharing why relying solely on Instagram or Facebook to market your work can quietly lead to burnout, performance, and business models that don’t actually work for your real life.
