info_outlineToday on the podcast, we are joined by Natha Perkins of Electra Astrology, an intuitive guide who helps people see themselves in a wider way through astrology. Natha is an astrology visionary based out of Boulder, Colorado. I had the pleasure of linking up with Natha while I was on a solo decompression vacation in Boulder this summer and we had such a wonderful time. Originally, the plan was to record this podcast episode in person, but we decided to enjoy a slow tea and meander around downtown Boulder instead.
This episode delivers!! We had such a profound conversation on leaning into the unknown, trusting the universe, the deep work of Venusian energy, and releasing self imposed pressure. We dove deeper into showing up as an artist on the social platform and how time is divided being a marketer versus being an artist, the gift of time the pandemic gave mom's with kids, cultivating a life of joy, and astrology. We traversed on the decision to leave creative practices as a profession when it starts to feel like creating products for consumption and it takes away your joy, aging as a woman in the public eye, metalsmithing, Emoto's work on water, synchronicities of favorite pieces making it back to the artists, and more.
I spent a couple of years being a part of Natha's Hidden Wisdom Astrology Circle and was able to learn so much about myself through her guidance. I simply can not recommend it enough.
Natha recently hosted a deep dive into Chiron course titled Chiron's Healing Medicine. 'Transformational Astrology: Alchemizing Core Wounds' alongside Emily Arth. I attended the class and took away so many beautiful gems which I plan to integrate into my life to support healing and better communication with my daughter and those I love. Be sure to sign up for her newsletter so you don't miss her next class.
She is the podcast host of Star Narratives the Podcast where I was recently interviewed over the summer. You can listen to that episode here: Creatively Drowning out the "Shoulds"
