Journey Back to the Heart

I recorded this episode as a video while having tea on my terrace during the sunset and contemplating the Lunar Eclipse on the 3/3 portal, Gene Key 64 (The shadow of Confusion and the gift of Imagination), the archetype of Virgo and the medicine of the in-between space.Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Af7w7vSnnEConnectIG: https://www.instagram.com/andreitopli/Substack: https://andreitopli.substack.comWebsite: andreitopli.comCreative Rebels community: https://www.skool.com/the-5th-house-2983

During the dark moon in Scorpio phase, I've spend 3 days in a cabin in total darkness in Les Waterfalls, north of Bali. What I found in there and the 6 days of integration in nature afterwards completely changed my life.In this episode that I have recorded as a video (see the video on youtube here), I go over the whole story - the descend into the underworld and the ascend back into the light, the lessons that I learned and also the medicine that I want to share moving forward.This is the most vulnerable and intimate episode I've recorded so far, there was no script, just dropping in and allowing what came through me to be fully expressed.These 10 days I spend in Les have been the most impactful rite of passage I've been through, an experience that stripped away the masks and revealed to me who I truly am, and how to find my deeper purpose in life. I invite you to listen to the story and contemplate this in your own life.Timestamps00:00 - Prologue04:30 - Part I - The Descend into the Underworld05:00 - The space and the preparation to go into the dark09:54 - The Darkness - All narratives came to an end14:41 - 1st day in the dark - me and my mind20:08 - 2nd day in the dark - emotional journeys and visions24:42 - Embracing the moment without trying to change it33:15 - Vision of the moment of my death35:10 - 3rd day in the dark - the most intense experience of my life45:14 - Purpose of Life49: 25 - Part II - The Ascend into the Light53:27 - The gift of Delight56:56 - The medicine of Silence58:16 - Having original thoughts1:00:00 - Surrendering to God's infinite abundance1:02:33 - The medicine of uncertainty1:05:00 - The art of letting go1:07:20 - Rebirth Phase - Brand New World1:08:41 - Transformational work with clients - InvitationThe only thing you find in the dark is yourself.If my story inspired you, awakened something in you, made you pause for a second to contemplate and ask yourself questions, or stirred any curiosity, reach out - I’d love to connect and to stoke the fires together.You can schedule a free discovery call here (https://tidycal.com/andreitopli/discovery-call) or send me a messge or email ([email protected]) for any inquiries about working together.You can also read the journaling entries I posted on Substack where I share few more details that came afterwards..IG: https://www.instagram.com/andreitopli/Substack: https://andreitopli.substack.comWebsite: andreitopli.comCreative Rebels community: https://www.skool.com/the-5th-house-2983

For video watch here.In this episode, I share how I see astrology not as a predictive tool, but rather as a framework for self-development, an archetypal language that helps us understand the deeper layers of our psyche and the seasons of our lives.I talk about what is the natal chart, how astrology actually works, how it’s guided me through my own healing, helped me see my blind spots, and revealed the patterns that shape my growth.In this episode, I explore:- the divine order beneath the apparent chaos of life- how astrology decodes the language of synchronicity and archetypes- why your natal chart shows potential, not limitation and how every placement in the chart is perfect- the dance between fate and free will- how astrology is the perfect framework for growth, healing, and transformation- moving from victimhood into creative responsibility- a reflection on what I see the purpose of life to be- the art of contemplation — transforming knowledge into embodied wisdom- releasing masks and returning to your authentic expression- how your chart reveals the medicine only you can embody and shareTimestamps:00:00 Introduction00:28 How Astrology works02:33 Archetypal language - why all systems are the same03:46 What is the natal chart04:18 Fate and free will06:06 Astrology as a framework for self development10:04 Why there are no bad placements in the chart15:15 The art of contemplation16:09 Personal examples20:06 Vision building with astrology22:10 Closing reflection and the medicine that is your authenticityIG: @andreitopliWebsite: andreitopli.comJoin my Substack: https://andreitopli.substack.comAstrology Foundation FREE Guide: www.andreitopli.com/astrology-foundation-freeGene Keys FREE Guide: www.andreitopli.com/genekeys-free-book

For the video version watch here.This Solar Eclipse New Moon at 29º Virgo marks a very prophetic threshold. The final degree of Virgo is the culmination of self-refinement and dissolving into the pure essence, releasing what no longer serves. In this sense this eclipse is collapsing the duality, holding both the seed of a beginning and the final note of the tune. In this episode, I unpack the significance of this eclipse, the archetypal resonance between Virgo and the priestesses at the oracle of Delphi and how Virgo’s devotion to refinement meets Pisces’ medicine of surrender. We’ll explore: what is an eclipse and the significance of the 29º of Virgothe archetype of the Oracle of Delphi and how Virgo embodies the priestess who becomes a clear vessel for the divinewhy eclipses are moments of pause, reset, and alignment with our soul’s pathpersonal insightsThis eclipse seems to be less about getting things right and more about letting things dissolve/end so that something utterly new can emerge. What are you still trying to perfect that’s ready to be released? May this New Moon bring you clarity, grace, and the reminder that you are always guided, supported, and loved.IG: @andreitopliWebsite: andreitopli.comJoin my Substack: https://andreitopli.substack.comAstrology Foundation FREE Guide: www.andreitopli.com/astrology-foundation-freeGene Keys FREE Guide: www.andreitopli.com/genekeys-free-book

A transmission on the Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aries ~ March 29thThis Solar Eclipse in Aries is both a beginning of a new cycle as it’s a New Moon energy but also an ending of the 2023-2025 series of eclipses in Aries and the last one in this sign for the next 18 years.This is the last cosmic push to upgrade the area of your life that Aries occupies in your chart.During a Solar Eclipse (New Moon) the Light of the Sun (clarity) is obscured by the Moon (emotions) - the unconscious is restricting the free will, the energy is very stirred up hence why it’s a time to surrender instead of forcing.In this transmission I go into the significance of Aries, the Solar Eclipse and also Gene Key 17 where the lunation takes place. At the end of the episode there's a horoscope with the areas of your life that in focus during this Aries season.If you want to look into your own chart and discover what the activations of this season are - get in touch, I’d love to go on this journey with you.Much love.IG: @andreitopliWebsite: andreitopli.com

A transmission on the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Virgo ~ March 14Eclipses are not something to be afraid of - they are cosmic portals that happen twice every year and bring about radical changes that align us with our highest timelines. Eclipses are a time of receiving the cosmic downloads and not a time of doing - presence and being grounded is the most important.In this transmission I talk about what the eclipses are, the Virgo/Pisces axis and the Gene Key 36th and 6th where the lunation takes place.If you want to look into your own chart and discover what the activations of this season are - get in touch, I’d love to go on this journey with you.Astrology helped me find meaning in the most difficult and challenging situations in my life. It has helped me transform my shadows into gifts. It has helped me become aware of the potential that was lying dormant within me. It has helped me to put language to the narratives that have been going on in my life.I love to share this system with everyone!IG: @andreitopliWebsite: andreitopli.com
