The Company You Keep: Alex Elle’s Birth Chart and the Power of Choosing Joy

5/19/20261 hr

What does your birth chart reveal about who you are becoming? In this episode, I am sitting down with New York Times bestselling author Alex Elle to read her birth chart live and talk about her newest book, The Company We Keep, which is her sixth book.

Alex is a Leo Sun with a Pisces Rising and a Taurus Moon, and her chart tells the story of someone who is learning to step into the spotlight even when every part of her wants to stay hidden. We talk about what it means to have so many planets below the horizon, why Leo Suns are often misunderstood, and how her T-square between the Moon, Pluto, and Mercury has shaped the way she communicates and processes her emotions.

We also get into the power of choosing joy after years of deep healing work, what it means to be in a nodal return year, and how her chart reveals a big shift happening in her relationships. If you have ever felt called to be seen but struggled with the fear of stepping forward, this episode is for you.

    [upbeat music] What's up, y'all? Summer's got a different tempo. Everything's a little looser, brighter. One plan turns into another. You hear something, you stay a little longer. Next thing you know, you're somewhere you didn't plan to be. It's those in-between moments, that's where the ideas hit. Conversations stretch out. Little memories sneak up on you. Sometimes it's just about what's in your hand, that color, that chill. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks. Guava and passion fruit flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls.
