The cosmos translated into sound —
each transit embodied, each evening a passage
through the fabric of the universe
Per Astra is a ritual event series anchored to the most potent astrological transits of the year.
These are not themed parties. This is not an astrology lecture.
This is translation. The planets move, and we feel it — in the body, in the nervous system, in the room. Each evening, the sound is architected around the exact energetic signature of that night's transit. The music becomes the medium through which you don't just understand the cosmos — you inhabit it.
You walk out having moved through something. Because you have.
Transit-Channelled Sound
Every set is built around the astrological frequency of that night. The sky is the brief. No two evenings are the same.
Embodied Ritual
This is not passive listening. The dance floor is the ceremonial space. You are the participant.
Fully Designed
Light, scent, visual direction, and atmosphere aligned to the transit. A total sensory environment.
"When it comes to emotional architecture in musical journeys, Daniela is unmatched."
Daniela holds over 30 years of NYC dance music history in her blood and bones. Shaped by the golden era of the city's nightlife — the floors of Limelight, Twilo, Sound Factory, and David Mancuso's legendary Loft — she carries that lineage into every set she plays. A classically-trained pianist of 20 years, she learned to DJ on vinyl at Satellite Records, then the largest independent dance music store in the US, before years in Berlin and Milan deepened her connection to European club culture.
In 2020, she founded Deep Playa NYC — which grew into the largest overnight outdoor rave in NYC history, producing 50+ events with 300 to 1,200 attendees at venues including Elsewhere, Brooklyn Monarch, and The Meadows. From 2022–2025 she served as Music Director and stage designer for CAMP Festival, headlining each year and designing sound stages for Love Burn and regional Burns. She has played Elements Festival, multiple Burning Man art cars, and in 2025 was commissioned by the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia for a four-hour immersive Halloween set — designed around the four Medieval humors — with full creative control over lighting, décor, and performance arc.
Her sets defy genre. Cinematic, emotionally-driven, and always intentional — from emotionally hypnotic tribal depth to French house, big room techno, or an unexpected classic that creates collective release. Every journey she crafts becomes a ceremony of remembrance. Per Astra is where that architecture meets the cosmos.
Annular Solar Eclipse · Aquarius
A new eclipse series ignites. Aquarius brings collective awakening, civic electricity, and the defiance of the iconoclast. The year's opening ceremony — and the series' first ritual.
Total Lunar Eclipse · Virgo
The full moon in Virgo eclipses what has been hiding in plain sight. Old patterns surface. This is the cathartic night — what dissolves here was never meant to remain.
Uranus enters Gemini · Once in 84 Years
Uranus moves into Gemini for the first time since 1942. Communication and consciousness are rewritten at the root. The future arrives faster than the mind can track it.
Venus conjunct Jupiter · Cancer
The two planets of beauty and abundance meet in Cancer. Love, pleasure, and feeling overflow without apology. The series' most euphoric and tender night.
Jupiter enters Leo
Jupiter moves into Leo, expanding creativity, sovereignty, and visibility across the collective. An invitation to take up space without apology. The midpoint of the series — its most regal and commanding evening.
North Node enters Aquarius · South Node enters Leo
The lunar nodes shift signs for the first time in 18 months. A new karmic chapter opens. Who we are becoming versus what we are releasing. The axis of authentic self-expression.
Total Solar Eclipse · 20° Leo
The most powerful eclipse of 2026. The sky goes dark at noon. Identity, legacy, and creative destiny are permanently altered. This is the apex of the entire series. The night everything changes.
Partial Lunar Eclipse · Pisces
A Pisces lunar eclipse pulls buried truths up from the deep. The veil between conscious and unconscious thins to almost nothing. The most dreaming, mystical, oceanic night of the series.
Neptune sextile Pluto · Chiron re-enters Aries
Neptune and Pluto harmonise while Chiron — the wounded healer — returns to Aries. A rare alignment of transformation and healing. What has been broken is asked to become the source of power.
Venus Stations Retrograde · Scorpio
Venus turns inward in Scorpio — the underworld of love, desire, and deep value. The most intimate, shadow-drenched night of the series. Come alone. Leave knowing something.
Mars conjunct Jupiter · Leo
Mars and Jupiter meet in Leo — warrior energy amplified by expansion. Fire, ambition, and full-throttle forward momentum. The year's last great surge. We go out swinging.
Saturn Stations Direct · Aries
Saturn ends its retrograde and moves forward in Aries. What you've been building in the dark finally gets traction. The year's closing ceremony. We leave clearer than we arrived.
Annular Solar Eclipse · Aquarius
The second Aquarius eclipse in the series — the Leo/Aquarius cycle matures. What was seeded in February 2026 is now taking root. The collective is rewriting its operating system.
Lunar Eclipse · Virgo · Closing the Virgo/Pisces Cycle
The final eclipse in the Virgo/Pisces cycle that began in 2023. A karmic chapter closes completely. What you let go here does not come back.
Mars Stations Direct · Cancer
Mars ends its retrograde — action, drive, and desire break free from their long inward journey. Energy that has been frustrated is finally free to move outward. Spring arrives on a frequency of unstoppable momentum.
Jupiter Stations Direct · Cancer
Jupiter turns direct in Cancer — expansion and fortune unlocked in the sign of emotional depth. Abundance that has been suspended floods forward. Growth that has been delayed arrives all at once.
Full Moon · Sagittarius
A Sagittarius full moon illuminates truth, vision, and the longing for something vast. The fire of the archer — restless, seeking, in love with the horizon. A night for expansion of spirit, mind, and body in motion.
Summer Solstice · The Sun at its Peak
The summer solstice — the longest day, the Sun at the height of its power. The series closes with the ultimate solar ritual. We began with a ring of fire in the sky. We end standing beneath the fullest light there is. The cycle is complete.
