Shownotes
In this episode of the SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast, host Nicole George connects with contributor Soph Newman, a transformational coach and soul-centered astrologer, to discuss the June Full Moon theme “Determined and Resilient” and Soph’s article on moving from survival to soul. Soph explains birth charts as a soul blueprint and schemas as protective beliefs formed when emotional needs are inconsistently met, linking how unmet needs can distort the higher expression of chart placements.
They discuss why charts must be read as a whole, how to discern whether choices come from fear (survival) or soul, and how the south node reflects familiar comfort patterns while the north node represents soul growth. They explore parenting, boundaries, and helping children feel safe having a voice, emphasizing the importance of a regulated nervous system. Soph leads a guided EFT tapping sequence to reduce overwhelm and reconnect with steady resilience.
