I am an astrologer, but I also have a background in neuroscience, and in this minisode I bring both worlds together. Your sun sign sets an early pattern in your brain, a kind of green light, and your environment reinforces it until it becomes a neural pathway you run without noticing. One of the things it quietly shapes is the specific way you block abundance. None of these are flaws. This is simply the energy running through you, and once you can see it, you can work with it. I walk through all twelve signs by element, name the block for each one, and give you the one shift that starts to dissolve it. Abundance is always available to you. The block is internal, which means it is yours to release. Topics Covered: • Why your sun sign creates the pattern for how you block abundance, and how your environment reinforces it • The brain science underneath it all: neural patterns, neuroplasticity, and why the block is within your control • Fire signs, the dreamers: Aries and burnout, Leo and recognition, Sagittarius and someday • Earth signs, the doubters: Taurus and comfort, Virgo and never feeling ready, Capricorn and earning it • Air signs, the overthinkers: Gemini and a scattered signal, Libra and permission, Aquarius and staying the outsider • Water signs, the survivors: Cancer and safety, Scorpio and control, Pisces and giving it away • The one shift each sign can make to start letting abundance in • How to use awareness and contrary evidence to rewire the pattern in your brain • Next week: Venus and Jupiter, the two manifestation planets Resources: • Take the free Abundance Blocks by Zodiac quiz to find your block and your next steps • Sign Up for the Abundance Masterclass • Follow Spirit Daughter on Instagram • Visit the Spirit Daughter Website • Get your Free Natal Chart • Book a Natal Chart Reading • Try the Moment App for free • Get the Virgo Season Workbook See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[0:03] Speaker 1: Hi everyone, and welcome back to the Spirit Daughter podcast.
[0:07] Speaker 1: I'm Jill Winterstein, aka Spirit Daughter. I'm most known in
[0:12] Speaker 1: the astrology world, but you may or may not know this,
[0:16] Speaker 1: but I also have a background in neuroscience. I have
[0:19] Speaker 1: spent many years extensively studying the brain, our patterns, neural patterns,
[0:26] Speaker 1: and most importantly, neuroplasticity. That's how your brain changes. And
[0:32] Speaker 1: because I stand in both of these worlds, astrology and neuroscience,
[0:37] Speaker 1: I put together this episode today just for you. And
[0:41] Speaker 1: it is on abundance blocks. So how your brain blocks abundance,
[0:47] Speaker 1: the pattern that is wired in your brain to literally
[0:51] Speaker 1: block abundance based on your zodiac sign. And so you
[0:56] Speaker 1: can think of the zodiac sign as the green light
[1:00] Speaker 1: in your brain. So we're born into a certain sun sign.
[1:04] Speaker 1: We'll talk specifically about sun signs. Although I will say
[1:09] Speaker 1: that there are two other planets, Venus and Jupiter, that
[1:13] Speaker 1: also play a role in manifestation. I'll go more into
[1:17] Speaker 1: those next week on next week's episode. So today I'll
[1:21] Speaker 1: focus primarily on your sun sign. And so you're born
[1:25] Speaker 1: with a certain sun sign. You're born under that energy.
[1:29] Speaker 1: And so that becomes a pattern in your brain. That's
[1:34] Speaker 1: a green light for a certain way of thinking about
[1:39] Speaker 1: just about everything, including abundance. And then you grow up,
[1:44] Speaker 1: you live in the world, you have certain parents, you
[1:48] Speaker 1: go into certain situations, you have peers. There's all of
[1:51] Speaker 1: these environmental cues and energies that then shape your brain
[1:58] Speaker 1: even more. And so what happens is you have the
[2:01] Speaker 1: zodiac sign that gives you the initial pattern you're born with,
[2:06] Speaker 1: and then the environment shapes it. It will confirm it
[2:10] Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. You'll execute the energy subconsciously.
[2:14] Speaker 1: The environment will answer you back. You might even have
[2:18] Speaker 1: chosen to be born to certain parents so that you
[2:22] Speaker 1: could live in the pattern that your zodiac sign gave you.
[2:26] Speaker 1: So there's a whole interplay between the pattern that you
[2:31] Speaker 1: were born with per your astrology and natal chart, and
[2:35] Speaker 1: your environment. And when we put these two together, we
[2:39] Speaker 1: can see lots of things. We can see why you
[2:43] Speaker 1: do things a certain way, why you have fear, why
[2:45] Speaker 1: you don't have fear, why maybe you take risks, why
[2:49] Speaker 1: you don't take risks, why you shine brightly, why you
[2:51] Speaker 1: hide your gifts, a whole vast array, which is what
[2:55] Speaker 1: we get into when we're talking about natal charts and
[2:57] Speaker 1: deep diving into them. We can also see your blocks.
[3:02] Speaker 1: And specifically on this episode, we're going to talk about
[3:05] Speaker 1: the way you block abundance. And so what does your
[3:10] Speaker 1: zodiac sign say, your sun sign? about how you block
[3:15] Speaker 1: abundance and what has this created, what pattern, what pathway,
[3:20] Speaker 1: what neural pathway has this created in your brain and
[3:25] Speaker 1: what can you do about it? What can you do
[3:28] Speaker 1: to become aware? That's step one, become aware of the pattern.
[3:33] Speaker 1: And then over time, change the actual inner workings of
[3:38] Speaker 1: your brain so that you have a different pattern that
[3:41] Speaker 1: does not block abundance, that allows it in. Because I
[3:45] Speaker 1: firmly believe that abundance is available at all times to everybody.
[3:49] Speaker 1: There is no actual block between you and the abundant
[3:53] Speaker 1: life you desire. The block is internal. The block is
[3:57] Speaker 1: the pattern. The block is what you learned. The block
[4:00] Speaker 1: is within your control. That's the super good news. And
[4:04] Speaker 1: so if it's within your control, you can dissolve the block.
[4:09] Speaker 1: So we're gonna get into it and we're gonna go
[4:11] Speaker 1: through this from the lens of the zodiac. And yes,
[4:16] Speaker 1: you can look at abundance blocks through many other different lenses,
[4:19] Speaker 1: and I have throughout my life. Right now, though, we're
[4:22] Speaker 1: going to focus on your sun sign and how that
[4:26] Speaker 1: determines your abundance block. Before I really get into it,
[4:31] Speaker 1: I just want to state that none of these patterns
[4:33] Speaker 1: are a flaw. You're not doing anything wrong. You're not
[4:36] Speaker 1: broken in any way. You This is just the energy
[4:41] Speaker 1: that's running through you and we're going to learn to
[4:45] Speaker 1: work with it so that it doesn't work against us
[4:48] Speaker 1: or block us. So let's start with the fire signs.
[4:53] Speaker 1: I'll first start with the element and then we'll break
[4:55] Speaker 1: down each sign. So our fire signs are our dreamers.
[5:00] Speaker 1: And so those are the sun signs that can see
[5:03] Speaker 1: the whole expansive picture. They can get the whole vision.
[5:07] Speaker 1: They can see it abundantly. But then something happens. They
[5:13] Speaker 1: block the flow. They block the vision from actually manifesting.
[5:18] Speaker 1: How do they do this? That's determined by the actual sign.
[5:22] Speaker 1: So let's get into first up Aries. So Aries, I
[5:27] Speaker 1: consider the restless starter. Aries sees the vision. It begins.
[5:32] Speaker 1: It's ready to go for it. It's ready to jump
[5:35] Speaker 1: off the finish line. And then it can't sustain the fire.
[5:40] Speaker 1: So it blocks abundance flowing in by not maintaining its
[5:46] Speaker 1: own fire. And so if this is you, think about
[5:51] Speaker 1: what you can do to help sustain your energy. Your
[5:55] Speaker 1: pattern is to go quick and go fast and then
[5:59] Speaker 1: burn out. And that burnout is the block. That burnout
[6:03] Speaker 1: is what doesn't get you across energy. the finish line.
[6:07] Speaker 1: And so the solution then becomes maintaining your fire, having practices,
[6:13] Speaker 1: having just the awareness like, oh, I'm going in too quickly.
[6:18] Speaker 1: I'm starting too fast. I'm going to burn out. I
[6:21] Speaker 1: need to go slow and steady. For Leo, you can
[6:26] Speaker 1: see the whole vision, but your block is actually recognition.
[6:31] Speaker 1: You actually wait for yourself to be seen. for your
[6:36] Speaker 1: vision to be seen in order to receive what is yours.
[6:42] Speaker 1: It's almost like you're waiting for the invitation of your
[6:45] Speaker 1: life instead of just stepping into what you already own.
[6:51] Speaker 1: So you see the whole picture, but your job is
[6:54] Speaker 1: to understand that you don't need to be recognized for
[6:58] Speaker 1: anything at all. You don't need approval from anyone to
[7:03] Speaker 1: allow the abundance that you already deserve to start flowing
[7:08] Speaker 1: into your life. So for you, it really is a
[7:12] Speaker 1: question or a solution of visibility. How can you allow
[7:16] Speaker 1: yourself to be seen more without the recognition of others,
[7:22] Speaker 1: without the applause, without the approval? You don't need anyone
[7:27] Speaker 1: else to approve of you gaining the abundance that you
[7:31] Speaker 1: already deserve. Sagittarius, your block is someday. So you see
[7:38] Speaker 1: the vision, you see everything unfolding. You may even expand it,
[7:44] Speaker 1: but you go, oh, someday that'll happen. I trust that
[7:48] Speaker 1: that will happen eventually. It's almost like you don't want
[7:52] Speaker 1: to make any steps towards the vision to disrupt it.
[7:57] Speaker 1: And you even say that about abundance. Oh, I know
[8:00] Speaker 1: I'll have abundance someday. It will happen eventually. I trust that.
[8:04] Speaker 1: You have faith that it will happen. But yet you
[8:09] Speaker 1: don't take the actual steps today to call it in,
[8:13] Speaker 1: to receive it. And so for you, you need to
[8:17] Speaker 1: think about what steps you can do right now that
[8:20] Speaker 1: will help you create, manifest, and receive abundance. Not someday,
[8:26] Speaker 1: but today. Let's move on to earth signs. They are
[8:31] Speaker 1: the doubters among us. And so they doubt their ability
[8:36] Speaker 1: to manifest abundance. They think they have to have this, that,
[8:41] Speaker 1: and the other thing in order to truly create, be deserving,
[8:45] Speaker 1: be worthy of abundance. And so let's get into them. Taurus,
[8:52] Speaker 1: your block is comfort. And so you like safety, you
[8:57] Speaker 1: like security, you like the comfort zone. You doubt that
[9:01] Speaker 1: the unknown could be any better than what you already have.
[9:06] Speaker 1: And this is how you block abundance, by staying attached
[9:10] Speaker 1: to what feels familiar. So for you, the journey is
[9:14] Speaker 1: to leave the familiar and step into the unknown. And
[9:18] Speaker 1: even though abundance in its purest form, in its most
[9:21] Speaker 1: abundant form, may feel unfamiliar to you, it's safe. It's
[9:26] Speaker 1: knowing that abundance is safe. Yes, you want to stay
[9:31] Speaker 1: comfortable in some areas of your life, but when it
[9:34] Speaker 1: comes to creating a truly abundant life that you're trying
[9:38] Speaker 1: to manifest, it's going to feel unknown. And you need
[9:41] Speaker 1: tools that tell you, practices that comfort you, and say, hey,
[9:47] Speaker 1: this unknown territory is safe. Virgo, your block is not ready.
[9:53] Speaker 1: So you never feel ready enough. You don't feel like
[9:55] Speaker 1: you have enough credentials. You don't feel like you've done enough.
[9:58] Speaker 1: You don't feel like the thing is perfect enough. The
[9:59] Speaker 1: project's ready to launch. The book's ready to submit. You
[10:03] Speaker 1: never feel quite ready. And that's your block. That's how
[10:06] Speaker 1: you block abundance. It's pivotal for you to say to yourself, hey,
[10:12] Speaker 1: done is better than perfect. And knowing that sometimes you
[10:17] Speaker 1: just have to submit the thing. You just have to
[10:19] Speaker 1: launch the thing. You just have to ask the question.
[10:22] Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be flawless. Abundance flows to you
[10:27] Speaker 1: through different channels and none of them are perfect. We'll
[10:31] Speaker 1: be right back after a quick break. Capricorn, your block
[10:41] Speaker 1: is earn it. Somewhere along the way, your brain... wired
[10:46] Speaker 1: worth to doing so you feel like you need to
[10:48] Speaker 1: do more and more and more and more you burn
[10:52] Speaker 1: yourself out you live in the grind you keep going
[10:55] Speaker 1: and going and going but that working that overdoing is
[10:59] Speaker 1: exactly what blocks the abundance you're trying to achieve And
[11:05] Speaker 1: so it can serve you very well to take some
[11:07] Speaker 1: days off to rest, to do nothing at all, and
[11:10] Speaker 1: know that abundance will come to you in those moments
[11:14] Speaker 1: of pure nothingness. Air signs. You are the overthinkers of
[11:20] Speaker 1: the zodiac. Your mind moves in multiple directions, sometimes connecting,
[11:25] Speaker 1: sometimes scattering, but you tend to overthink things. And that
[11:30] Speaker 1: is your essential abundance block. That's the pattern. that's wired
[11:35] Speaker 1: within you that blocks your abundance. Getting deeper into the signs. Gemini,
[11:41] Speaker 1: your block is a scattered signal. So your mind moves
[11:45] Speaker 1: very quickly. And it's not that you want the wrong
[11:48] Speaker 1: thing or that you want too many things. It's that
[11:51] Speaker 1: you want too many things all at once. And so
[11:54] Speaker 1: your energy has nowhere to focus. Your brain has nowhere
[12:00] Speaker 1: to focus. And you need focus to truly manifest and
[12:03] Speaker 1: truly cultivate abundance. So for you, it can be really
[12:07] Speaker 1: beneficial to pick one thing you're trying to call into
[12:11] Speaker 1: your life, one type of abundance, one thing you're trying
[12:14] Speaker 1: to manifest and focus purely on that. Libra, your block
[12:19] Speaker 1: is permission. So it's almost like you keep your dreams,
[12:23] Speaker 1: your visions in a vault in your own mind that
[12:27] Speaker 1: has its own committee. So you're always pulling this committee
[12:32] Speaker 1: to see, okay, what decision should we make here? What
[12:35] Speaker 1: decisions should we make there? And you're always looking for
[12:39] Speaker 1: permission to step into who you are, permission to receive abundance,
[12:44] Speaker 1: permission to manifest yourself. your dreams. And so it can
[12:48] Speaker 1: serve you really well and help you dissolve that block.
[12:52] Speaker 1: If you just say to yourself, okay, I give myself
[12:55] Speaker 1: permission to want this one thing, I'm going to focus
[12:58] Speaker 1: my energy, my brain on calling it in on manifesting it.
[13:03] Speaker 1: And that's going to be where I put my energy
[13:06] Speaker 1: for some time. Aquarius, your abundance block is being the outsider.
[13:12] Speaker 1: And so you kind of float on the perimeter sometimes
[13:15] Speaker 1: and you almost don't want to admit or be honest
[13:18] Speaker 1: about what you actually want. And so for you, it
[13:22] Speaker 1: really serves you to do that, to be honest, to
[13:25] Speaker 1: claim what you want, to say it out loud, to
[13:27] Speaker 1: say it to the people in your life. It's almost
[13:30] Speaker 1: as if aloofness is hardwired into your brain. And so
[13:35] Speaker 1: it can serve you well to get into the mix,
[13:37] Speaker 1: to get into the middle, to get into life and say,
[13:42] Speaker 1: I want this. I'm going to create it. Water signs.
[13:46] Speaker 1: Your main abundance block is the survivor. And so somewhere
[13:50] Speaker 1: in life, your brain got hardwired for scarcity and it
[13:55] Speaker 1: never got told that the danger has passed. And so
[13:59] Speaker 1: you have this energy that you need to survive. You
[14:03] Speaker 1: need to constantly scan for threats. And if you're constantly
[14:07] Speaker 1: scanning for threats, your brain can't scan for opportunity. And
[14:11] Speaker 1: so we need to teach your brain, your energy that
[14:14] Speaker 1: the danger has passed. It's time to relax. And it's
[14:18] Speaker 1: time to look for opportunities. Cancer, for you, the block
[14:23] Speaker 1: is around safety. And so you plan, you save, you
[14:27] Speaker 1: keep yourself safe. You don't ask for too much because
[14:30] Speaker 1: you're afraid you won't get it. And asking for too
[14:33] Speaker 1: much and even receiving too much doesn't feel safe. So
[14:38] Speaker 1: you want to stay in the known. You want to
[14:40] Speaker 1: stay in what feels safe. And so it can serve
[14:44] Speaker 1: you well to teach yourself, to teach your brain that
[14:47] Speaker 1: it is safe to receive abundance. It's safe to be
[14:52] Speaker 1: in the unknown. It's safe to expand past your old
[14:56] Speaker 1: shell and into a new one. Scorpio, your abundance block
[15:00] Speaker 1: is control. You like to control everything around you. And
[15:04] Speaker 1: this may have been because you were betrayed in a
[15:06] Speaker 1: previous life or in this life. There's a mistrust about you.
[15:11] Speaker 1: And so you try and control your environment. And so
[15:15] Speaker 1: when you're trying to manifest abundance, you try and control
[15:18] Speaker 1: the outcome. You try and control the flow. You You
[15:21] Speaker 1: try and control energies that are out of your reach.
[15:25] Speaker 1: And in doing so, you grip out of desperation and
[15:28] Speaker 1: actually force those things that you want away from you.
[15:33] Speaker 1: And so for you, surrender is the answer. Allowing things
[15:37] Speaker 1: to happen. Noticing when the fear comes up and your
[15:41] Speaker 1: body braces for something to happen and instead choose relaxation,
[15:47] Speaker 1: choose down-regulation. Pisces, your block is about giving things away.
[15:54] Speaker 1: And so oftentimes abundance flows straight to you, but it
[15:58] Speaker 1: doesn't feel safe to receive it. And so you just
[16:02] Speaker 1: give it away. You just deflect it. It doesn't feel
[16:04] Speaker 1: spiritual or doesn't feel earned or doesn't feel like yours.
[16:08] Speaker 1: And so your journey is one of simply receiving. It's
[16:12] Speaker 1: always flowing to you and you can feel that flow.
[16:15] Speaker 1: So instead of deflecting it away, open your hands and
[16:19] Speaker 1: receive the abundance that is yours. So naming the block
[16:24] Speaker 1: is just the first part. And I did that for you.
[16:28] Speaker 1: Your job now is to become aware of when this
[16:31] Speaker 1: block and pattern shows up because awareness is the key
[16:35] Speaker 1: to any change. And then write down some piece of evidence.
[16:40] Speaker 1: that is contrary to the block. So if your block
[16:45] Speaker 1: is that nothing is safe or abundance isn't safe, write
[16:48] Speaker 1: down something when that block comes up that is opposite
[16:51] Speaker 1: to that. And that's how you start to rewire your brain,
[16:55] Speaker 1: rewire the pattern, awareness, and then choosing something different. We
[17:01] Speaker 1: currently have a free quiz on the site right now, spiritdaughter.com.
[17:06] Speaker 1: I'll put the link in the show notes as well
[17:08] Speaker 1: that will go deeper into these abundance blocks for you
[17:12] Speaker 1: and give you real practical actions you can take to
[17:17] Speaker 1: help dissolve this block and step into your most abundant self.
[17:23] Speaker 1: Because ultimately, I want you to be your most abundant self.
[17:27] Speaker 1: I want you to be your best self, your most
[17:29] Speaker 1: powerful self. And I hope this episode sheds some light
[17:34] Speaker 1: on how you can do that. If you found it enlightening,
[17:37] Speaker 1: please share it with a friend. And like I said,
[17:40] Speaker 1: I'll put the link for that quiz in the show notes.
[17:43] Speaker 1: Head over there next. And until next week, where I'm
[17:47] Speaker 1: talking about Venus and Jupiter, the manifestation planets, just remember
[17:52] Speaker 1: the stars don't dictate your future. They illuminate it. you
