How to Reinvent Yourself (as Many Times as You Want) with Gala Darling

Why Scorpio season is made for reinvention

Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth, the eighth house energy that lets an old version of you fall away so a bigger one can rise, which is why we recorded this conversation for Scorpio season. Reinvention in Gala's world means breaking out of the boxes you built for yourself (the niche, the aesthetic, the job title, the version of you everyone got used to) and letting a whole new era of creativity, comedy and self-expression in.

We talk about moving cities, refusing society's expectations of women, building a personal brand that grows with you, finding your people and why sometimes the most powerful move available is burning down the version of your life you've outgrown.

Radical self-love and the power of tapping

Gala shares her own transformation and how tapping (EFT, the practice of tapping on acupressure points while you speak to what you are feeling) became the backbone of loving every fabulous part of yourself, including the parts you were taught to hide.

Tapping is also the root of astrotapping™, the way I pair tapping with what is happening in your chart, so if this part of the episode lights you up, start with your free birth chart and see which placements are asking for the most love right now.

Gala's chart: a Sagittarius stellium, Aquarius rising and a rebellious Lilith

A stellium is three or more planets packed into one sign, so Gala's Sagittarius stellium turns up the volume on everything Sagittarius rules: freedom, travel, big ideas, publishing, teaching and saying the outrageous true thing out loud. Put that under an Aquarius rising, the sign of the rebel and the originator, and you get a woman who was always going to do it her own way, in public.

Her Lilith (the point in the chart that shows where you refuse to be tamed) adds the rebellious streak, and we talk about how all three show up in her life and her work. If you have never looked at your own big three, this is your sign.

Two Manifestors on freedom, creativity and REST

Gala and I are both Manifestors in Human Design, the type built to start things, to move on impulse and to need far more rest than the world expects, so we compare notes on what it is like to have 700 ideas before breakfast. Gala explains what being a Manifestor has taught her about freedom, creativity and resting without guilt.

Your own Human Design type sits next to your astrology inside MY SZN, so you can see exactly how your energy is built to work.

Money, success and freedom (plus Paris Hilton)

Manifesting the money matters, and Gala is clear that making more of it means very little if you are miserable inside the life you've created. We talk about building success around freedom first, then letting the dollars follow.

Gala also tells the story of spending time at Paris Hilton's house and what it taught her about magnetic women, who refuse to fit into anyone else's expectations and get richer and more themselves for it.

Becoming THAT b*tch

The whole episode lands here: following your wildest ideas, expressing every single part of your personality and having the audacity to create whatever life you actually want. Your next era is calling, babe, and she has VERY expensive taste. Watch the full episode here and follow Gala at @galadarling.
