- There's a lot that you get to kind of just crack open
by stepping outside of those very limited spaces.
- Yeah.
I thought you had one orgasm and you were done.
(laughing)
- Welcome to the queer community.
- Definitely put that in there.
(bright music)
- Hi, I'm Chani Nicholas
and welcome to another edition of "Star Power".
Today my guests are Chrishell Stause and her partner G Flip.
So excited to have you both.
- We are very excited. - We're so excited.
- Thanks for doing this.
Thank you for trusting me.
- I'm nervous.
- Don't be nervous.
- Okay, let's go.
- Chrishell, your sun is at 29 degrees of Cancer
and your sun is at 28 degrees of Virgo
and they are what we call sextiling each other.
- Ooh. - What is that?
- They're very excited by each other.
- Oh.
- So your Virgo sun loves to work and create
and is like really detail oriented
and your Cancer sun is really nurturing
and loving and caring.
And when you put the two together,
it's kind of like water in a vase.
The earth of your sun holds the water
and the caring and the emotion of your sun.
(Chani laughs)
- Aw, that's really cute.
- So you might feel really cared for and sturdied by G
and G, you might feel really like nourished
and hydrated and loved and cared for by Chrishell.
- Yes. - Yeah.
- Yeah.
- So your Venus is in Leo. - Okay.
Which is really good at getting the attention
and having a gorgeous mane and all of those sparkly things.
And yours is in Virgo,
which is the sorcerer like you know,
the one who wants to conjure
and work really hard at the art.
But they're really close together.
So there's a way in which you do relationships differently,
but it's very connected.
So you're gonna be like acts of service
and like the way you take care of is really practical.
You need to be adored in that part
of you is like, needs the adoration
and that part of you, your Venus is like, oh I can do that.
I can serve in that way.
- I adore Chrishell.
I absolutely.
- How does it mean that I show love?
Is that what--
- How it means you share love is you're also going
to be like big, like it's big gestures of that.
- Oh.
- It's big hearted and it's fiery
and it's creative and it's like, it's not held back,
like that part of you is just like brimming
with the excitement to be like,
I feel these ways about you. - I do.
- So excited all the time.
So excited.
Ah!
It's so cute.
Oh.
- Okay.
So, you have Sagittarius rising.
Does that mean anything to you?
- I know that's how you present to the world
and I think that makes sense as far
as like I really like hosting people.
I like entertaining.
Am I close?
- So there's this really like fiery enthusiastic energy
that you lead with that needs a lot of freedom
and a lot of room to move.
I wouldn't want you to feel hemmed in at all
and you need to experiment
and have that kind of sense of personal freedom but
and also you like are the most sensitive person ever.
- Yes.
- Like you're a puppy.
Like as much freedom as you need,
you also need to know that you're held
and that you have a home and that you're claimed
and that you belong to people.
I mean, to me it's really funny
because the two lights, your sun and your moon,
one of them is in the fourth house
of home, family, foundation.
So home and family is huge for you
and you're such a dreamer
and you're so-- (chuckles)
What's that? - Dreamer.
- Oh my god.
(laughing)
There's like this romantic family dream
that's like so ever present in your life
and really feeds you and nourishes you.
That's how you nourish yourself.
But it's also the place of real estate.
And so one of the, you know,
one of the most important pieces
of your chart is in the fourth house
of literal homes and land and real estate.
- That's cute. (laughing)
- That's cute. - Right?
The other thing I will say
that's like gave me like a "Whoa" is that the ruler
of your ascendent,
so the planet that steers the direction
of your life, is Jupiter.
It's the planet of good luck and optimism and bounty.
You're led by the planet of "Yes"
and the planet of bounty and the planet of like,
"Well the cup is half full so it's gonna be okay."
But it's also hemmed in by these two planets
that can be kind of mean.
And so, I don't know if you've ever found yourself
in a situation, a group of people,
where not everybody is like super lovely
and nice all the time.
- You have lied and done things--
- Chrishell, I've never lied - to each person individually.
- [Davina] And I'm not saying you are two-faced
but it's going that direction.
And I was like, oh wow. - Wow.
- [Davina] You were super nice to her.
- It's been a very toxic relationship having you in my life.
- Okay, so you're Libra rising.
- Libra rising, yeah.
- Which you, that means that you move into the world
and you wanna be known as somebody who's really like equal
and cool and like peaceful and easy to get along with.
And you've also come in with like really big ideas.
Like, I feel like you--
Are you somebody who's like really passionate
about your ideas and like needing to get them across?
- Yes.
- But you also need to do so in a way
that's not like too in everybody's face
but there's an edge to it.
So it's like this lovely, peaceful energy
that you come in with.
And there's also like something feisty underneath that
and like really brave also
and needing to like bring in some like big bold ideas.
Like everyone thinks too small around here,
let's widen the angle.
So you both kind of share that feeling and that vibe.
It's one of the places where you intersect
in a really beautiful way.
So whatever you do together is about expansion
and it's about growing.
It's about growth, personal growth.
- How nice. - Yes.
And also collective growth.
And you help each other kind of live
out your life purpose in that way.
A lot of things are possible
because you're leading with generosity.
Right? - I'm gonna cry.
I think generosity's really-- (laughing)
- Don't cry.
If you cry, I'm gonna cry. Don't cry.
- We can all cry.
- Oh no. - Oh no.
(laughing)
- Venus is the ruler of your sun,
which means art and creativity is like your everything
and your work is about your healing
and also like collective healing.
But it's kind of like a witch
or a sorcerer would like go away into their, you know,
put and like mix the spells and do the things.
There's something that you need to tend to
that's really personal and it's also very introverted.
- I need to have a space that I go,
like my studio set up is where I hang out
and make all my music and play piano
and play drums and guitars.
- Yes and really geek out.
- I nerd the fuck out. - You're such a nerd.
Is a lot of it for you addressing like a wound
or like is there something that you find
that's like specifically healing
about doing your creative work?
- I feel like it's almost like a sense of meditation for me.
Sometimes I feel like I can like sit at a piano
and I'll get like song ideas or lyrics
or music will like channel.
I feel like it's almost--
I've talked to other songwriters about this.
It's like--
- And that's why you need the alone time.
- Yeah.
It feels like it's a song or music
has been dropped through my brain.
Like it comes outta nowhere
and it's like I'm just playing piano
and then I'm like singing a song.
- Yes.
- G locked themselves in the room for a whole year
and then came out with an album that like,
out of nowhere and didn't have any represent--
like and it hit and it became like such a like--
so this could not be more true.
- That part. - Yeah.
Could not be more true.
- I've also like taken all my studio recording gear
to like a farm far away.
And like just locked myself there for two weeks.
- Yes. - Like I've do--
- Yes.
- I love getting away and hiding.
- Yes. And Chrishell's down for that.
- We're gonna run away.
- We're gonna run away, basically.
- And you both have moons that we call,
they're immutable signs.
So you both have that need to be like,
to escape confine.
You both have a need to like go out
and have a great adventure.
You have Sag moon. - Yes.
- And you have Sag rising, which means that you feel her.
You feel them, like you feel each other.
So your moon takes care of
and your ascendant is how you like are motivated
in the world.
So there's a really like beautiful,
supportive crossover there where again,
you both need a lot of freedom
and do you feel like you give that to each other?
- Yes. - Yeah.
- Yeah. And I think we've probably had, you know,
the situations where you know,
what you do, what I do, it wouldn't be conducive
to someone that wouldn't understand
you know, different things.
Whether it's the business
or whether it's, you know, whatever there's--
- Yeah.
- And you're also like each other's hype person.
- Yes. - Yeah.
A 100% front row in my shows.
- I think everyone's partner,
if you're too cool to do that
for the person you love the most, come on.
Then who would you do it for?
- And then your moon is Pisces and your sun is Virgo
and they're at the exact same degree
but just 180 degrees away from each other.
So what that means is you hold
like this dreamy romantic space and you're like,
"Okay well this is all the things we have
to do to make that work."
Like, you can, in that place,
you can be really good at holding the details
and you can be really good
at like the big dreamy kind of open space.
- G is on detail duty, I'm not good with detail.
- Yeah.
- Yes. You always hold that.
Okay. And then your Mars is the planet
of like activation and it's a lot of energy.
It's on your midheaven, which is your career,
which means you could activate their career
and the two of you could actually do things together
in a kind of professional way that would be--
- Like in the video house? - Yes.
- Was on my music video.
- Oh. Interesting. - And gave me--
And like wrote the creative for it.
- And how was that collab?
- Oh, so good. - It was very steamy.
(laughing)
- Okay. In 2020 you started a whole new lifecycle
and in 2017 you did.
- Yeah.
- What was 2017 for you?
- So, I was playing drums in bands for most of my life
but I always desired to be a solo artist.
- Yeah. - And write my own music.
And then 2017 was a year that I gave myself one year
to do it and I locked myself in my room.
I like didn't go out, I stopped drinking, I stopped partying
and I wrote basically my whole first album
and I self-produced it 'cause no producers wanted
to work with me.
So then I just learned how to do everything.
That was the new door I opened and then my whole life,
like I wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't
for me doing it.
- Wow. - Yeah.
- Your Virgo knows how to make the dream work.
- Mixed with the luck you have, that's very good.
- Mixed with good luck. Right? - That's very--
- Because doesn't everybody love them?
- Great. Oh my god, the most.
- [Chani] Like they're so easy to be with.
- Everyone's favorite human being.
- Right.
- You could meet G and spend five.
I always say this, five minutes with G and--
- There it is.
- Everyone's obsessed with G.
You're everyone's favorite person.
- Baby, you do not.
- No, it's true. It's true.
I'm not just saying, I'm telling.
- Now you can say this is your bona fide moon.
- Yes.
- This is your bona fide moon working.
- G, this is your bona fide moon.
- And every time you think I'm just saying that,
I'm not, it literally is on this paper.
- Yes.
(chuckles)
- And so, 2020 was a whole new year.
(laughing)
New cycle for you. I don't know.
- That was season three.
- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
- Basically, yeah.
I got a divorce in 2020, when we started 2020.
My dad died in 19. My mom died in 2020.
Not so.
So it's just a lot of change.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Can you X that one out?
I don't like being--
- You don't like being so sensitive?
- I hate it.
- Why? - Because I hate it.
- It's your greatest gift.
- Yeah, baby. It's beautiful.
- It's why people love you.
It's why people connect to you,
'cause you're so vulnerable.
Like your vulnerability is what makes people fall
in love with you.
And so, it's hard when you wanna be tough.
- It is.
- And you have to be tough,
'cause there's been so many situations
in your life where you had to be really tough.
Oh, Chrishell, I also wanted to say,
you have sun conjunct in asteroid, Athena.
- Oh.
- So you're like a caretaking warrior goddess.
- Yes, 100% (Chani laughs)
- Oh my god. What does that mean?
- You're a fighter but you're really nurturing.
- Oh.
- And so the way that you fight is also to nurture.
The way you nurture is also to like,
you know, do the thing you know is right to do.
Like you are not afraid.
- A 100% a caretaker warrior goddess.
- [Chani] Right?
- You could change your insta.
Chrishell Stause. Caretaker warrior.
- That's the new bio. - That's it. That's it.
- That's the new bio. - That's it.
Like justice is really important to you.
Your thing is, you guys,
we need to expand our sense of self.
Like the world is bigger, life is bigger, it's okay.
But you're also not a stranger to dealing with backlash.
What's so important in the face
of backlash is to say,
"This is my truth.
This is how I got to live large
and be big in the world."
So that other people feel
like they have the ability to take up that space too.
- When we felt like we wanted to keep everything a secret,
it kind of felt like one of those things
where it's like there is some justice
in like bringing more awareness
to people that identify as non-binary
and different pronouns.
And it felt like, this is why this happened
and this is important and this is, you know,
you're gonna feel heat in different ways,
but it's for the better good.
You know, I've had parents reach out and they have,
you know, their children are identifying as non-binary
and so they're like looking to us, you know,
to figure this out.
They're like, "I wanna be a better parent to my child."
And that really warms my heart.
- Yeah.
- I just think it's so amazing
and awesome when people have the ability
to wanna keep learning and keep evolving.
I know you've had a lot of--
You've inspired so many people.
- Chrishell like was willing to educate herself
to talk on behalf of me if I wasn't around.
So like I admire you so much, baby,
for like, you know, learning so much
and educating yourself to then you know,
talk to the masses wherever,
whether it's on social media or on TV or in interviews.
So, and you do such a good job and you're amazing.
- And also just to the women
that it's okay to keep evolving.
I like allowing those women to see my story
and they're now able to explore if they feel like it,
- you know? - Yes.
- And to each their own, you know,
if someone's happy, be happy for them.
