Welcome back! Today we're getting a digestible rundown on all things astrology from Amy Lauren Greenfield, healer, coach, and astrologer.  Amy shares her story of how learning to read her own astrology chart helped her find her own true identity and how she uses this tool among many others to help people through 1:1 coaching and healing. If you've ever looked up your astrology chart, you know there are a LOT of moving pieces.  Amy gives us an easy to follow breakdown of so many different aspects of the charts - sun sign, moon sign, rising sign, planetary alignment, and the 12 different houses.  We suggest pulling your own chart on cafe astrology and you'll be able to follow along while Amy breaks it down for you! She shares which parts of your chart to look at for insights into your career, love life, family life, and your future, and how to use your chart to help gain a sense of trust in your intuition and validation for things you might already know about yourself. We also chat about the importance of self care, self discipline, and setting goals for yourself in a way that you can actually follow through with.  Amy tells us how she became a meditator, how it changed her life, and how she helps other people learn how to ingrain meditation into their daily life. If you'd like to book a service with Amy, you can head to her booking site, or find her on Instagram @amylaurengreen.
