Intuition vs. Sacral Energy: How to Tell the Difference in Business and Life [E34]

In this spontaneous riff (recorded over coffee ☕), I break down a core distinction that’s often confused in Human Design and business decision-making: the difference between your sacral response and your intuition.

I also share why I chose to release this astrology and spiritual 9/9 episodes now—even though it no longer perfectly matches the current direction of the show. With the Channel of Community (37–40) defined, honoring commitments is non-negotiable. It’s about integrity, values, and following through, even if it throws off the “perfect” feed or algorithm.

And this speaks to a fundamental concept about Human Design. It isn’t about airy-fairy spirituality—it’s a framework for sovereignty and decision-making. In this episode, I break down the real distinction, plus how intuition and sacral energy play different roles in business clarity.

💡 This is also a wrap-up moment—closing loops on past commitments and pivoting into where this podcast is headed next: deeper explorations of intuition, clarity, and evolutionary growth.

👉 Special Offer: I’ve opened 8 spots at $88 for a limited reading (my sessions normally start at $350+). This offer closes September 13th—link in the show notes.

✨ Birthday Special: For one time only, I’ve brought back the $88 recorded reading offer — only 8 spots available through 9/13/25 or until they’re gone.

*****

This drop pulls apart two things most people blur together: intuition and sacral energy.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Why your gut says “yes” but the timing still feels off
• What role intuition plays when business strategy and energy collide
• Whether you’re “doing it wrong” if you don’t feel a big sacral response

…this quick episode gives you a grounded perspective you won’t hear in templated Human Design advice.

Transcript

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. Today is a quick episode because I got a double episode drop in tomorrow. What I promised, and I just wanted to let you know that, well, I'm drinking my coffee and so this is a spontaneous . I have no idea why I'm on the mic. Always dangerous, but it has a point.

I. Wrapped up my other project for the year Cosmic Brew. So check that out. It's in the show notes. I've switched that now to business focus, so that is business focused, astrology and other energies. And I just dropped a triple episode on the Eclipse energies We're in.

If you don't know, eclipses are 19 years. They, at the very least are six months, but really are 19 years, and they're not a day. They're not whatever you saw on TikTok or Instagram. They're not like the portal we're gonna step through today. That's not how it works. So if you're interested in that kind of content, that's what that is.

I also dropped a special offer. It's $88. There are 13, excuse me, there are eight spots, and it expires on nine 13. 13 is a special day. Astrologically. It has to do with the mercury, , mercury, sun cycle. , I also did a whole episode on Mercury retrograde and what it is and what's not, which is essentially the dance of mercury, with the sun.

So check those out if you're interested. My stuff is not like one and done, meaning you could listen to that in two months and you'd get something out of it. It's archetypal, it's not. Event driven and what I'm doing with that project after that, I don't know, but I'll let you know when I know. I will link that in the show notes.

We're gonna switch gears after that. So I wanted to wrap up where the podcast had been so we could go where we're going. And so the first episode I'm dropping tomorrow is a spiritual focused episode, kind of similar to what I've done in the past where I talked about energies and numbers and I talked about tarot and I talked about all these kind of things and how they weave together and the way that I do.

My astrological work starts at three 50, so an $88 reading, I'm doing eight of those and they're over on September 13th.

And I am releasing an episode that doesn't represent where the podcast is anymore because I promised it a long time ago. And why is that? Because my son, earth is channel of community. Channel of community connects the emotion center to the heart center. And the bottom line is, is when you have that channel and you have a defined heart, which you're gonna have, if you have a channel, you do what you say you're gonna do.

Commitment. To yourself and to others is primary. It does not matter if it makes sense. It does not matter if it screws up the feed. It does not matter if it throws off the algorithm. It does not matter if I have time for it or not. I promised it, I committed to it, I'm gonna do it.

That channel is a lot to do with values and bargains and material plane. It's a combination channel of the spiritual plane and the material plane. So we will talk about that more. Maybe I'll do a. Deeper education on channels and some other piece of content. , But it's just to get you a sense of like, human design is mechanics.

It's about what are the contracts and the bargains you wanna commit to, and what does it drain on your energy? And what is a good use of your energy? That's a lot of what human design is. Human design is agnostic. Human design does not care about people's opinions. Human design does not care about what your audience thinks a price point should be. Human design does not care about what other people think is valuable.

Human design does not care about what other people think you should do, how other people think you should use your gifts, how other people think you should serve. That's Pisces Energy. Aquarius Energy is about sovereignty,

there's a series of episodes. They're all related. Some of them are stories, some of them are pure play tips. They all relate to one another. There's a theme you're gonna see flown throughout them. They're all standalone, but they are a theme. Each one builds on the other one. 

I talked a lot in the summer about Jupiter entering cancer and how that is the year of intuition in business and trusting yourself more and trusting your body wisdom.

You're gonna see those played out in real life scenarios as well as business scenarios, as well as tips about how to work with it more. . I feel like that is what people are lacking now, is being able to trust their intuition. They're looking for an external system. Astrology's gonna tell me, human design's gonna tell me, this person's gonna tell me what to do.

This framework's gonna tell me what to do. I need to listen to this person. , And your intuition is agnostic to all of those systems. Your intuition comes from your body. So I would say that no matter who you are. But absolutely if you're a business owner, the more you can get in touch with your intuition, the better off you are.

And I don't think you have to be this person who's like super toned in, touched in somatic healer, I feel everything. No, I'm a wicked intuitive, and I'm not that at all. I do practices to get more in tune with my body. I am a cerebral person. I'm not a body person. . And that's why I don't like a lot of what people talk about with human design, that it's a body system and if you don't feel it, you don't feel this guttural noise, you don't feel this explosion of energy in your sacral.

It's usually by people who actually aren't sacral beings. It's usually manifestors or projectors who say that because they are just parroting what the system. Says, I think that that's dangerous because I think it makes people feel like they have to have a certain physical sensation in their body to take action.

And that's not the way it is. You are gonna learn this as you go. , And intuition is quiet. Intuition is something you've had your whole life. Intuition has had. You know, if you never get a sacral yes, if you never hear a sacral noise, if you never hear this like explosion of energy ever as a sacral being.

You always still have your intuition because your intuition is there to save you, and your intuition is there to protect you. And that's what we're gonna talk about a lot in the future. Intuition is one of the key themes of season two, which is gonna be coming up in the fall. And I talked about this in a prior episode. It was Golden Nuggets, alchemizing golden nuggets into opportunities, is what it used to be called. I don't know the new title, but I will link it in the show notes. Things you'd done wrong into future wisdom, something like that. And I said there's a difference between the sacral and the intuition. And I, I firmly believe I said like the sacral is what's right now. And I firmly believe that intuition is like this thing flying above you.

You call it a guardian angel. You could call it your destiny path. You could call it your protector. You could call it just animal instinct. This doesn't have to be related to anything divine, and I firmly believe it knows your past. It knows your future. It knows everything that's gonna happen in the future, and it's, you're making decisions in the now that make no sense.

It knows it's 10 steps ahead of you. And that I said that in those episodes, I said that in that episode, and I talk about that in the intuition episodes that's coming up. And I literally heard a reel yesterday speaking about this, and I wanna dig deeper into the science of it because I want to actually articulate the science, and I don't wanna do it in some influencer mumbo jumbo shit, which they do when they repeat stuff and they don't actually know what they're talking about.

That there's additional science that has been finally determined. That intuition is actually our ability to track what hasn't happened yet, and that makes real sense. If you think about it, if you've ever been in a dangerous situation and you've gotten out of it, which I have more times than I can count because of intuition.

What is that? It was knowing what was gonna happen before it happened, right? That's intuition. , Or knowing something's not gonna go as as it should be, which is not the same thing as the sacral, right? The sacral is like, this is a drain on my energy. This would not be a good use of my energy. The timing is not right for this.

That's really big in business. 'cause something can be the right thing, but the wrong time. And this is not the mountain I wanna build. If you're a pure generator and you're building something, or even a manifesting generator, this is not the direction I wanna put sacral energy to. I'm doing this out of influence.

I'm doing this because I should or it's a project that you put a lot of energy towards that on paper makes sense. That is a lot of sunken cost mentality that has a lot of attachment, which is what I'm wrapping up now in my other parts of my life. But it's not you anymore and it's not where you're going.

That's sacral energy. Intuition is different. So it's at nine minutes. So I'll come back on nine nine in a nine year tomorrow for a double episode, the link is in the show notes for that offer. See you then.
