What medicine does hard astrology carry for us?

How do we deepen our relationship with self, others, and the world through being with challenges?

The hardship of life is often mirrored by astrology.

One of the questions I consistently get as an astrologer is: "I'm going through something hard. Do you see that in my chart? What should I do to get out of it?"

Usually, the answer is: yes, I see it in the chart.

But whether the issue gets resolved through engaging astrology is a much trickier question. 

Sometimes, having astrological context inspires creative problem-solving. Other times, it leads into seemingly endless spirals of confusions, what-ifs, and so-whats – which can amplify feelings of powerlessness.

In this episode, I shared my take on how to be with hard astrology.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of the current astrology – this one's for you.
