What you’ll learn from this episode:
-
Astrology is the language of the sky and psychology is the language of the soul, and they are deeply interconnected - providing maps of the macrocosm and microcosm - as above, so below.
-
Uniting, or perhaps re-uniting, astrology and psychology offers a powerful framework for understanding our deepest identities, life purposes, and how we can more consciously navigate challenges.
-
Astrological charts can offer profound insights into who we are, including potential neurodivergent traits. There’s so much wisdom available in a chart, that just focusing on one aspect, as you heard in this episode with Lian’s Libra stellium, can provide a deeper understanding, allowing for making more informed decisions and cultivating a more authentic, expressed life.
