Soul Talk

With Barbault's Basket inviting a rare planetary alignment this weekend, expect a lot of energetic movement mostly in our collective lives. Think revolutionary thinking and action, shifts in leadership and positions of "power" and creative visioning and action. There is a LOT of fire and air moving over the coming days and week, and with Mercury still retrograding through Cancer - it's time to seek out grounding, earthy practices to help us anchor into our bodies and not be swayed by external collective overwhelm .

Happy Cancer New Moon in Mercury Retrograde Soulies, how are we doing out there?! This ep has been recorded with the intention to leave you all with clearly actionable steps to work with this transit - and the energy of the next ten days at least - with plenty of real-life moments of my own as examples. (I have my Chiron in Cancer so expect chats on mother wounds, body image and intuitive insights into what's next for my work in the world.)

It's been one year Soulies and to celebrate I am answering all of your questions in this BUMPER ep - from business questions to motherhood, triggered-chats to theatre, we cover so much ground and honestly? I think this is one of my most favourite eps yet.Some links for you:The Heart Opening StorePsychic Studies Join The Heart Space Book your child's astro reading

In this week's bonus ep, instead of a What's The Vibe, you get to listen-in to a live astrology reading with Soul-scriber Paige. We dive deep into all of the personal planets of Paige's chart - what it all means and how she can actively work with these placements going forward.You might like to follow along with your own chart - astro.com - or pull up the YouTube to have a closer look at WTF I'm talking about. Book your own astrology reading with me here.

It’s time for a hype-up Soulies, and as your resident Leo astrologer with Jupiter now in Leo for us all, I have some things to say! In this ep I’m sharing some very simple, easy practices to inject more joy, light and creativity into your days. (But don’t be fooled, the ep starts with a very bitter Projector not-self me processing my recent book figures…read: not good. Grab the popcorn.) 

We have SO MUCH moving astrologically in the next few days, this week I break it all down for you:- Cancer season - as an archetype, the light and shadow, and how to work with the essence of Cancer this season- Capricorn Full Moon - the medicine for Cancerian energy - pointing to where you might be playing victim, or ignoring intuition- Mercury Retrograde (in Cancer) - and why it isn't a transit to fear (and why as a psychic it's one of my favourite transits!)- Jupiter into Leo - 12 months of play, joy and expansion for us ALL - Leo or not!Enjoy this new energy Soulies - it's going to be a great time!

After a couple of days down and out with a shutdown (thank you for being patient with me Soulies, it was a big weekend!) I’m diving into all of the epic shifts I received after my final EFT sesh with Erin last week. We’re talking total power reclamation - and the discomfort of actually desiring public recognition and celebration in a culture that is repulsed by it. And no actually, this doesn’t make you a narcissist. What could life look like if you allowed yourself to look FORWARD, rather than constantly back? I share how life has opened up for me just by making this simple shift. Join The Heartspace to sit EFT with ErinConnect with Erin here3 spots left for Heart Space Live! Come sit with me! 

Leo is one of the most misunderstood astrological archetypes. And we have a LOT to heal in Leo this year - with Venus currently sitting here, followed by Jupiter end of the month and then the South Node for the next 18 months, these transits are asking us ALL - whether Leo or not - to harmonise our wounds around taking up space, shining, being seen and the dreaded “tall poppy syndrome”. This vibe check is the first of a few that will unpack the misunderstandings of this archetype and help us lean into the gifts of generosity, creativity and big lover-girl energy that this sign is bringing us all. 

You put the healing down. You stop picking the scab (listen for the metaphor, I swear it’s good!)I’ve had a WEEK. And it seems like it’s just kept coming since arriving home from Fiji. Wave after wave (of anger, grief, nausea, and sometimes all at once!) has shown me that absolutely no level of “deep work” is worth it when it’s at the cost to your physical and/or emotional wellbeing (oxymoron much?)I share where my love for personal development first originated, and what happened this past week that really tipped me over the edge. Grab a final seat at my Heart Space LIVE event here. 

We’re in the compression before the expansion Soulies - hence the early vibe-check release, because I’m hoping this gets to you right before our beautiful Jupiter/Venus conjunction this evening. Not feeling it yet? There’s a reason behind that! I break down quick-fire key themes that might come up for you during this transit based on the house it falls in for you personally, so have your chart handy for this one! 

Trigger warning: this episode discusses postpartum depression, miscarriage, and birth trauma. Listener discretion is advised.So I know I said I was taking a healing break, but what do you do when the healing finds you?!We’re talking everything from anger overflow that lead to a serious EFT burp-sesh, to residual haunted house wounds, to a ruptured haemorrhoid (yep!). The undercurrent of it all? It’s time to look forward, not back.I end the ep unpacking my mixed feelings about Yesteryear (no spoilers!) 

We start our week with Venus (planet of love and beauty) and Jupiter (planet of luck and expansion) conjoining in the sign of Cancer (sensitivity, romance and home) and my gosh is this a beautiful transit - I’m going to say one of the best of the year! Now is the time to dive into all things beauty and romance - yes of the love variety! - and indulge your senses. We end the week with Venus moving into Leo (sign of the heart and bold adoration) - so it’s safe to say we’re going to have some lover-girl experiences coming right up! What a vibe! 

Following on from last week’s episode questioning if it’s time for me to take a little healing break, I dive deeper into what my Instagram hiatus is teaching me about boredom and energetic intention, and how much of this time is reminiscent of my first Vipassana 10 Day Silent Retreat 6 years ago (symbolic dreams, past-life recollections and a throwing away of everything “spiritual”).Don’t worry - I’m absolutely not doing that this time, but I do find myself in a space of exhaustion when it comes to the constant “bettering” of myself and moving the healing goalposts before I actually sit and acknowledge how far I’ve come…especially when it comes to my physical health. Join us at The Heart Space Live in Byron Bay in July.Sit online ceremony with us tonight in The Heart Space. *7pm tonight NOT 7:30pm x

It’s Gemini Season friends, and while we love the chatty, social nature of this sign, we also have our Virgo South Node reminding us to slow right down - especially when it comes to Mercurial matters: technology, transport (cars especially!) and communication. The more we can lean into the season we are in (literally - Winter for us here in Aus!) the more our deliberate and intentional approach to our energy will pay off. 

I unintentionally tripped a healing switch and overdid it last week Soulies - I’m talking deep, cellular, quantum healing on all levels...  But I swear I didn’t mean to! What started as an innocent EFT session on suppressed anger (that was surprisingly rooted in deep postpartum grief), found it’s way to unlocking deep-seated familial rage that became fevers, daggers in my throat, and a gnarly-looking rash initiated by a remedy that shall not be named. Thank you Virgo South Node exacting my Virgo Mercury, and conjoining my Virgo Mars! All that to say - it feels great to be shifting so much out of my field and also, your gal needs a second to breathe before we start shifting aliens from her colon. (And yes I am fully aware this ep goes for 44:44, the angels are loving today's ep) Grab your ticket to The Heart Space Live in Byron here!

It’s good to be back! Today I share all about our family trip away and mostly, what landed for me when I took the time off of my phone (saving 5 hours of screen time a day at one point!) and actually sat with everything I’ve been suppressing (emotionally, energetically, and even some physical roots too!)Check out YouTube hereFollow @aphroditesplate on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/aphroditesplate/ Email me: [email protected] to get access to first ticket drop to Heart Space Live in July! 

In this week's episode (while I'm offline living my best life in Fiji!), you all get to be a fly-on-the wall as I drop into another psychic reading for a subscriber and also long-time beautiful client of mine, Paula.In this episode you will get to hear what a real-life psychic reading sounds like when someone sits opposite me. These are mini-readings (20-ish minutes) that are completely unprompted and unedited - and other than the shorter time frame, they are exactly how a psychic reading goes when someone sits opposite me.I loved reading for Paula because she works in the magic realms herself - a reiki master, NLP practitioner and expert in mindset, strategy and creating empowered change - and when I read for other spiritually "tapped in" people, we cut straight to the chase, leaving absolutely no stone unturned - which you'll hear in today's ep. There's a beautiful vulnerability and honesty in today's episode that I feel will particularly resonate with any other business owners or anyone navigating grief in some way, however truly - there is something for everyone here. Enjoy!

It's a mini-one for you this week Soulies as truth be told, my brain is in holiday mode and I have very little to say (for once in my life!)I go on plenty of tangents (some a little dark in humour, let's blame Scorpio Moon for this one) and you will hear by the end that this gal just really needs a break. I also pull us two cards for the week ahead from:- The Enchanted Earth deck by Jessica Lahoud- Gaia Oracle deck by Toni Carmine Salerno Next week will be a fly-on-the-wall reading ep and then I'll be back in real time after that!Enjoy! 

We go off on some TANGENTS today Soulies - including a big open channelling sesh around time becoming even more of a construct (release the time travellers!) and how we can actively work with this energy using Taurus Season as medicine.I also touch on the Scorpio Full moon and what vibes may arise for you depending on where it falls in your chart.Join us in ceremony tonight! https://www.hollieazzopardi.com/the-heart-spaceListen to Initiations by Jules Ferrari here: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/initiations/id1768603047 

Come sit and have a cacao with me as I recap the week that’s been - from a shutdown prompted off the back of last week’s episode and a lot of suppressed rage coming to the surface, to The Great Divide spiralling me even further (yes I share some favourite lines!) and the resurrection point when Uranus moved TF out of my 11th house - ending with margaritas with my best friends by a fire under the stars…it’s been a week! Here’s to the magic a fresh one will bring for us all x

I have been desperate to get in front of the mic and recap the past five days with you all! A whirlwind trip to Sydney to see Pamela Anderson, the private Vogue event I was invited to beforehand and everything in the lead up that sent me into a spiral about my body - especially my cup size. This is a sensitive episode about body image and body shame, as well as moments of lightness and inspiration as I reflect on the wisdom Pamela left us with, the healing soul-friendships can bring, and how I integrated off the back of a very intense yet inspiring, full yet beautiful couple of days. TW: I cry a bit, about my body - and breasts in particular - so listener discretion is advised if these are sensitive topics for you x

We are right in the thick of a volatile few transits cosmically - with 7 placements in Aries, the fire sign of the warrior, force/willpower and determination. This is my intuitive interpretation of each of these transits broken down in a very easy to understand way - explaining the Aries archetype, followed by the energy of each of the transiting planets (and one asteroid!) and what this could be stirring up for us collectively and in our personal lives.Pull up your own chart on Astro.com and find where Aries rules (I explain how in the ep) to have a deeper understanding of the personal themes that may be activated for you during the next week or so. 

Well, that was a doozy! This week I share what happened when the Libra full moon took me downnnnn - physically, and energetically - including the key lessons I learned while I was down and out, and the people pleasing patterns I still need to figure out. I share the exciting opportunity that landed once I fully surrendered to resting, cancelled plans and building my energy back for me first.

This week we're looking at all of the energetic (and physical) practices you can introduce into your daily life to ensure you are as pristine energetically as possible - especially in times of uncertainty like we are currently experiencing. These are all the exact practices I personally do as a working psychic for almost a decade now - I hope they help support you the way they continue to support me!

In this month's bonus episode, you all get to be a fly-on-the wall as I drop into a psychic reading for one of my clients-turned-friends Belinda (@belindajoy_medium on Insty). In this episode (that is also available to watch on YouTube if you'd like to SEE how I look as I channel) you will get to hear what a real-life psychic reading sounds like when someone sits opposite me. These are mini-readings (20 minutes) that are completely unprompted and unedited - and other than the shorter time frame, they are exactly how a psychic reading goes when someone sits opposite me. I loved reading for Belinda because she is a practicing psychic, medium and Akashic Records healer, as well as a cacao ceremonialist trained under the same lineage as me - and when I read for other spiritually "tapped in" people, we cut straight to the chase - which you'll hear in today's ep. Enjoy!

Your weekly energy reading is here! (And it's a big ep because the downloads were loud!) And while the collective energy right now feels chaotic and building in momentum (which is especially true for any energetically sensitive types) - there are three pillars we can lean on right now for grounding:Nervous system practices to regulate and expand our capacity CommunityNature Leaning on these as modalities for trust and faith over the coming weeks and months will be the foundations that bring us out of our heads and into our hearts.

This week my second book Saying Yes To You turns one and to be honest, there are mixed emotions.I put a lot of pressure on myself for this book to outperform my first (bestselling) title - so how does an author cope when that doesn’t happen? Join me as I unpack in real time the highs and lows of the process of publishing Saying Yes To You and reflect on where to from here.Grab a copy hereDiscounted digital store One year Heart Space membership two months freeBook your child’s Astro reading 

We're delayed but still here Soulies, apologies for the late start this week - I explain everything in the intro!This week's episode came through as a request from a listener who asked: Would love to learn more about kid's astro - guiding our little ones according to their charts?Oomph. Something I am VERY passionate about, and whether you are a parent or not, this will apply to you (and your inner child!). THIS is how we create the change we wish to see in the world. I dive deep into understanding the unique flavours of your child's chart - in particular their moon sign, so pulling up the sign and house it falls in would be helpful for this episode (you can do that at astro.com!)

It's time to finally breathe out, Soulies. This week we're coming up for air, and resetting our systems.Be conscious of where stress has festered in the body over the eclipse portal, especially if you're feeling sensations of anxiety this week - sighing, shallow breathing, yawning more than usual. This week is time to reset, and the breath is calling us as the starting point. Join The Heart Space here.

Heads up Soulies - I'm an emotional mess in today's episode, as I unpack the week that's been. This week I received my full diagnostic report, which has been equal parts liberating and helpful, and also filled with a pro/re-gression of autistic symptoms that have been masked.I share all of the ways neurodiverse minds are recommended to tend to their nervous systems, my own unique sensitivities as captured in my report, and how I've navigated this week as I gently take off some of the masks I've worn for many many years.Join the Dream Life Foundations waitlist here.

Two words: collective melancholy.If this week you're feeling a little flat, wondering where this "fire horse" motivation is - then you're right on time. This week feels like trudging through sticky mud, emotionally and physically. So while yes we are on the other side of the eclipse portal, it will likely take us a week or so to fully adjust to the new energies coming through. We are still in Pisces season, after all...

I wasn't sure if I'd dive straight into this this week, but given it's what is occupying most of my headspace and life right now - and this is literally a show all about that - it feels important to speak to my recent autism diagnosis after considering the reality of this for a couple of years now.I share how I'm integrating this new understanding of myself in real time - and how I feel autism is synonymous with being an energetically sensitive and highly in-tune person. So really, any psychic is likely on the spectrum in some way (IMO).Would love to hear what you think - and thank you for being gentle with me as this one is a very new, recent and vulnerable thread and one I know will be perceived in many different ways (not all true). This is just the heartfelt truth of my own experience that is still very freshly unfolding.

We're in a Mercury Retrograde period WITHIN an eclipse portal - safe to say, the veil is extra thing for us over the coming week. Now is the time to carve out space to tune in and pay attention to the signs, synchronicities and ways our intuitive wisdom shows up for us. The more space we create, the more intel we will receive.

Trigger warning: this episode discusses infant loss and death/grief. Please listen at your own discretion.It’s been a big week Soulies - full of career highs, and a really big grief portal. For the first time I share (with permission) my best friend Leah’s story about her baby girl Harper, and how we honoured her this weekend a year after her tragic passing.This is an episode about love and grief, HOW to even grieve, and how to show up as community when someone we love is in the throes of it.

Look, let's be real - there's a lot happening out there this week. Fire Horse, Aquarius Eclipse, Saturn in Aries... it's giving chaos. And chaos this week feels like it's energy with nowhere to go.This is the week we take stock of our final shedding of the Year of the Snake...especially when it comes to the people we surround ourselves with. The communities. The environments. Some of you may even be on the precipice of a big physical move. Trust in that, and lean on the wisdom of the Virgo South Node which is two-fold right now: be discerning with where you spend your energy and time, and move stress through as best you can.Your adrenals are seeking extra love this week, and even though life is way busier than it was in January, it's still time to find pockets of rest where you can.

Trigger: I swear a LOT in today's episode and also reference Eps**** files. Listen with discretion. This week I dive into psychic do's and don't's including how to know you're seeing a "good" psychic, and how to best show up so that you get the most out of your reading. I answer your questions around psychic etiquette and then talk about the collective upheaval we are currently witnessing (all of the darkness coming to awareness) and the best ways we can stand up against the corruption, and it's all very Hunger Games to be honest. I'll probably get shadow-banned. Let's see what happens...Join the Heart Space here.

Apologies for the delay in this week's ep guys, but what the actual eff is happening out there? Are you okay? Because I've been an absolute mess. It feels like a picture of collective, cosmic intensity, and the final week of the year of the snake squeezing out anything that really wants to be looked at once and for all.I'm seeing lots of inflammation, sore bodies, emotions on overdrive...and it's intense.This week's ep is a combined What's The Vibe collective vibe check meshed up with my clusterfuck of a week last week - there's heaps of tears, a couple of snotty snorts (soz about that) and I'm sure a lesson or two in there somewhere.

And by exhaust fan, I mean that distracting overstimulating background "life noise" that just isn't doing anyone any favours. It's the perfect week to delete Tik Tok, take a social media breather, or just come back to the rhythms of simplicity that help an overstimulated mind. Think tending to your body, your families, and your homes.Let everything else wait.

And don't say we're both "scammers" because I already got that one on Insty ;) This week I unpack an EPIC reading I had with David The Medium, which prompted me to share exactly what the differences are between a psychic reading and a mediumship reading. We talk the Clairs briefly, as well as the difference between tarot and oracle, and how each reader you sit with will have developed their own unique way of accessing channel. Join Psychic Studies here.

It's a fiery week this week Soulies, and this energy is set to stay for the coming weeks as well.This might look like suppressed anger bubbling to the surface - keep an eye on your skin, and any flares like eczema, psoriasis ,and histamine reactions, as well as emotional releases and potentially some bigger physical purges as well.The best thing we can do to hold ourselves in any collective chaos, is tend to our inner worlds as best we can. Take care of yourself and your family - your inner world - to bets face the chaos of the outer world in coming weeks.

I take one week off and next thing you know I can't stop talking about EVERYTHING! (And I mean everything!)From today's Neptune into Aries transit and how it will impact all of us, to a more personal look into how I spent my time off, I dive into the energy of whimsy, romance and enchantment, swiftly shift gears into a story of my 17 year old self's first experience with heartbreak (and the saddest Valentine's Day story to match), then hyping up my husband and our 18 year anniversary, to a deeply philosophical reflection on the polarity of life.I go everywhere today friends. (Except for crying actually, which is nice for a change!)It's clearly good to be back.

This week's ep is a reflection of the week I spent living as a "doula" after the birth of one of my best friend's babies. It was healing as much for her as it was for me - recognising what women and mothers carry when a community has forgotten how to hold them. This isn't an episode for mothers only - it is an episode for us ALL - to remember where we have come from, and how the holders always need holding (even if they don't know how to ask for it, or feel uncomfortable to receive it).We will see much more of this return to community holding mid-year and beyond, so this conversation is right on time. (Plus I also share a weird cosmic dance that reared its head for me this week, and an exciting biz update!)

Your weekly energy check is here - and right now, it's time to slow TF down! January is giving "void" and this is intentional. Over the coming weeks and months things will start to ramp up - your inspiration and motivation WILL return - but right now, consider this your reminder to start the year in slow. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Tend to your energy now, and watch yourself soar in the coming months. But now is not that time (yet).

It's the first episode of 2026 - and if this is anything to go by then we're in for a TREAT this year, because this episode is ALMOST TWO HOURS LONG! And it's just me yapping?! How does she do it?!This week I'm answering all of your questions - and there were a LOT - around the wisdom I have learned running my own business for 10 years now. We cover everything - from marketing, strategy and social media, to creativity, inspiration, finances and everything in between.The first 30 minutes I debrief my VERY full week with you all and actually ball my eyes out for a bit there too, so believe me when I say...this ep has eveything!

Our final vibe-check for 2025! And this week is a little reminder that when the clock strikes midnight, try not to put too much pressure on yourself to feel "new year new me" energy right off the bat. In fact, it could take a few weeks and some more "2025 loose ends" before we FULLY land in the fresh energy of 2026.

A listener-requested episode - this week I dive into all of the ways I set myself up for a new year - from rituals, to journaling prompts, manifestation practices to business projections - we cover a lot of ground, and I share all of my tips for you to cultivate your best year yet!

In today's short-er episode combining the weekly episode with What's The Vibe intel I share the evidence-based, researched, tried and tested nervous system support practices for all of us to lean on in the current climate of crisis, upheaval and trauma. Majority of these practices are free and easily accessible, and readily available to all of us.Remember that when you take care of yourself, only then can you show up for others in need. Look after you first and let your loved ones and community experience the ripple.I love you all x

How are we doing out there Soulies? Because the vibe is giving a little "niggly" - coughing, spluttering, throat tension and an overall need to be deliberate and intentional with our time, energy and nourishment.There's an undercurrent of boundaries being asserted in the lead up to Christmas - with family, yes, but also finances and your space. This is how 2025 wants to end - so if you can start now, then the next few weeks will be epic for you.
