Overview
In this episode, Rachel sits down with Samantha, an astrologer, ceremonialist, and divination practitioner who works with Western astrology and Mayan cosmology. Rachel shares how a natal chart reading Samantha did for her years ago in Costa Rica proved so accurate over time that it helped her make the decision to move abroad and travel the world. This conversation is a beginner-friendly deep dive into what astrology actually is and how it can be used practically, covering natal charts, medical astrology, the Saturn return, locational astrology, and Mayan cosmology.
You’ll Learn
- What a natal chart is, why your sun sign alone gives you a fraction of the picture, and why reading your horoscope from your rising sign rather than your sun sign gives significantly more accuracy
- How the natal chart maps behavioral patterns, family dynamics, personal strengths and challenges, and even timing of major life events with surprising precision
- Where health shows up in the chart, including the first, sixth, and twelfth houses, the sun and moon as markers of vitality and the physical body, and Chiron as the wounded healer asteroid that often appears prominently in the charts of people drawn to healing work
- How medical astrology connects the twelve Zodiac signs to different parts of the body, and how astrological herbalism uses planetary cycles to determine when plants are at their highest medicinal potency
- What the Saturn return is, why it happens around age 28 to 30, what the universal themes are regardless of individual chart, and why Saturn delays rather than denies
- What the Uranus opposition around age 42 is, why it often triggers what we call a midlife crisis, and how people who have done their Saturn return work can use that period for some of their most productive and original contributions
- What locational astrology or astrocartography is, how planetary lines run through geographic locations around the world, and why people are often unknowingly drawn to places where their most significant lines run
- What Mayan cosmology is, how the 260-day ceremonial calendar works, what the 20 noes or day signs represent, and how Mayan fire ceremonies connect practitioners to ancestral guidance
- What a soul retrieval ceremony is and why it is used to call back parts of the self that may have energetically fragmented during traumatic experiences
