In this episode, Viv shares how she’s learned to trust herself through art, observation, and deep self-reflection. From Aries’ experiential joy to Pisces’ spiritual intuition, she explores the many ways of knowing—how discernment begins in the body, how emotions guide decision-making, and how intuition whispers truths the mind cannot calculate.

Viv reflects on her journey of learning to honor her feelings, follow through on commitments, and stay centered even in moments of overwhelm. She discusses the transformative power of creativity, the lessons from nature, and the importance of listening to the heart over overthinking or overanalyzing.

🎧 Listen in and remember: honor your feelings, trust your instincts, and let your body and heart guide your next steps—thinking alone won’t get you there.

NOTES FROM THE EPISODE
RE: CONNECTION TO THE
ORNELIAN FRAMEWORK

Click below to learn about the different ways of knowing

MIND・Analytic Knowing

ARIES・Experiential Knowing

VS: Aries Venus 6h. Using art to spark joy daily. She was just trying to cheer herself up and got featured on the news!

VS: I would crash out regularly. I would get upset over the smallest things. Now I know what real joy is because I’ve done the work. So now I can always bring myself back to center.

VS: Bringing light to the shadows

HM: listen to your heart and take action. don’t get stuck in overthinking/collecting data.

HM: wisdom from fasting

TAURUS・Cultural Knowing

VS: (South Node in Taurus) SN- it represents who I used to be. Taurus- it represents

VS: I was an average math student but when learning astrology, I got really good at it. Could astrology be a form of cultural knowing?

GEMINI・Empirical Knowing

VS: I grew up gaslighting myself. I can see things that other people can’t see. I had to learn to trust myself.

HM: not eating is a mind game; it misses the sensations

HM: saying you’re going to do something and then following through and doing it is how to start to build trust; the more you do it the more evidence your mind has to trust you again

BODY・Embodied Knowing

VS: Discernment comes from knowing what it feels like to feel safe in your body so that you have a baseline.

CANCER・Emotional Knowing

VS: I never used to cry. I still don’t cry often, but when I do, I let myself feel it fully (Cancer Moon).

VS: I always say that I would rather trust my emotions in the moment and then apologize later if I was wrong, because I have to honor my inner world. It doesn’t feel right to trust the external.

HM: “I always say on my birthday. I don’t need a big thing. I just want to eat whatever I want. I want some type of desert. And I want to be in a body of water.

DM (Cancer Moon): needs that knowing in order to create

LEO・Playful Knowing

VS: When I’m going through shadow work, you have to find what you love to do and just do that. (Leo Midheaven) It was my art that kept me grounded and kept me moving forward when I was really depressed. I started with photography.

HM (Leo Stellium): originally wanted to be an actress, switched to degrees in stagelighting and electrical engineering

DM (Leo in Jupiter): using AI as the fire that expands him and his work; listen to hear how he relates it to Prometheus

VIRGO・Somatic Knowing

VS: Chiron in Virgo 11h. Virgo is a sign that has high standards. The high standards helped me not get wounded again. By loving myself, I know and trust that my community will find me.

HM: we are creative beings. you have to figure out the modality that works best for you.

DM (Virgo Stellium): feeling best when in nature; built an app based on intuition and working with AI

SPIRIT・Narrative Knowing

DM: “She says, ‘Myths? We don’t consider these myths. We consider this information. This is all information.”

DM: “if you look at it, everything is just information that we can just utilize in this world”

LIBRA・Aesthetic Knowing

SCORPIO・Revelatory Knowing

VS: “who I am as a person is transformative because of that Scorpio energy (1h Scorpio Stellium), I also have a lot of ego deaths and rebirths”

DM: discusses his song about Frankenstein and his bride

SAGITTARIUS・Participatory Knowing

VS: I was so in tune with Mother Nature. I could hear the animals speak. I would hang out with the trees.

VS: We need to have fundamental classes: astrology, emotional intelligence, the clairs, etc..

HM: Nature teaches us to just be.

HM: Could it be that after being human, the next step up is to reincarnate into a tree?

HM: I can feel it through my heart — the tree’s age, its message, maybe just a whisper of gratitude or peace.

DM: I hug trees. I talk to animals. All animals love me. I love nature. I go to the park once a week. Everything is alive. I like to be connected.

SOUL・Reflective Knowing

DM: Shadow work is continuous. You have to go deep.

CAPRICORN・Rational Knowing

HM: even though something makes sense to do on paper doesn’t mean that you should do it if your heart is not in it

DM: uses reason and intuition together simultaneously

AQUARIUS・Archetypal Knowing

VS: I like AI. I enjoy being ahead of the times. I’m not afraid. I grew up watching the Jetsons. I would love a life like that.

VS: Tarot called me. I have always been drawn to symbology.

DM (Aquarius Rising): On the intro to my second album, I don’t speak in words, I speak in shapes.

“I’m speaking in metaphors and pictures because that’s how we see things; that is our fastest way of communication”

PISCES・Spiritual Knowing

VS: I could look at people and know what they were thinking. I do think that clairsentience is equivalent to intuition.

VS: Intution is calming. Anxiety is alarming.

VS: Intuition is a nudge or a whisper coming from Spirit (or your Higher Self). Intuition can show up at any time in any way.

VS: I didn’t grow up in an environment where my emotions were validated. Now I journal and self-talk. (Pisces Stellium)

HM: psilocybin on a mountain to gain clarity as part of a full SMBS cleanse (fasting was also part of the cleanse)

HM: listen to hear about her fasting experience and to find out who she is quoting when she says “a man with a full belly has a thousand problems, but a man with an empty belly only has one”

HM: the psilocybin brings you back to source and to that togetherness

HM: “How to Change Your Mind” about LSD and psilocybin scientists

DM (SN Pisces) brought up the seven clairs:

• Clairvoyance — Clear Seeing 👁️ The ability to receive intuitive insight through mental images, symbols, colors, or visions. You might “see” flashes, dreamlike scenes, or light around people and places.
• Clairaudience — Clear Hearing 🎧 The perception of intuitive messages through sound — words, music, tones, or internal phrases that seem to come from beyond your own thoughts.
• Clairsentience — Clear Feeling 💞 The ability to feel energy or emotions from people, spaces, or situations. You sense truth, mood, or vibration through your body — the “gut feeling” or empathic knowing.
• Claircognizance — Clear Knowing 💡 When you just know something without knowing how you know. Sudden insights, downloads, or truths that arrive whole and complete.
• Clairalience — Clear Smelling 🌹 The intuitive sense of scent — like catching a whiff of perfume when no one’s around, or smelling flowers, smoke, or herbs connected to a memory or presence.
• Clairgustance — Clear Tasting 🍯 The ability to taste something without physically eating it — often linked to spirit communication, ancestral memory, or energetic association (like tasting honey when receiving sweetness or healing).
• Clairtangency — Clear Touch ✋ Also called psychometry, this is when you receive intuitive information through physical contact — touching an object, plant, or person and feeling its energetic history or essence
