EP 68: The Stars Don’t Lie: What Astrology Can Teach You About Yourself
Welcome back to another episode of Breathe More! I’m thrilled to share a conversation that dives deep into the fascinating world of astrology with my dear friend and incredible astrologer, KJ Atlas. In today’s episode, we explore not only the significance of astrology but also how it can serve as a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery.
The Magic of Astrology
Astrology is often met with skepticism, but as KJ and I discuss, it’s all about understanding our connection to the cosmos and how it influences our lives. KJ describes astrology as a way to quantify the qualities of time, comparing it to biodynamic wine, where each bottle captures the essence of its origin. Just like that wine, we are products of the time and place of our birth, intricately connected to the universe around us.
The beauty of astrology lies in its ability to help us understand ourselves and our unique paths. KJ points out that understanding is an essential aspect of love. The more we understand ourselves through our astrological readings, the more compassionate we can be toward ourselves and others. This insight can help us break free from the fear of comparison and embrace our individual journeys.
Permission to Be Yourself
One of the most profound revelations from our discussion is how astrology acts as a permission slip to be our authentic selves. KJ beautifully articulates that each zodiac sign and archetype has its own nuances, including shadows and optimal expressions. It’s not about being confined to a singular identity; rather, it’s about understanding the spectrum of who we are and allowing ourselves to evolve.
For instance, as a Sagittarius, I often find myself in a constant state of change and evolution. This can be daunting, especially when society pressures us to stick to one path. However, embracing my mutable nature allows me to explore new avenues and pivot when necessary. Astrology provides context for this fluidity and helps us accept the phases of our lives.
Astrology and the Collective Shift
KJ notes that there’s been a collective shift towards spiritualism, particularly in the wake of significant astrological events. The resurgence of interest in astrology and other spiritual practices is indicative of our desire to reconnect with ourselves and the world around us. As more people seek guidance and validation through their birth charts, they’re discovering the power of their unique energies and how to harness them for personal and professional growth.
In my experience with KJ, her insights have been transformative. During our readings, she has helped me navigate my business journey, confirming my instincts and guiding me toward aligning my offerings with my true self. Rather than fitting into a mold dictated by external expectations, I’ve learned to trust my intuition and embrace my unique gifts.
The Retreat Experience
I’m also excited to announce that KJ and I are hosting a retreat in Joshua Tree this November! This new moon retreat will offer a sacred space for grounding, healing, and self-exploration. We’ll incorporate the energies of the new moon, Dia de los Muertos, and the powerful desert landscape to guide our practices. Together, we’ll honor our ancestors, release limiting beliefs, and set intentions for the future.
Participants will enjoy nourishing organic meals, engaging workshops, and a supportive community. KJ will provide personalized astro-cartography readings to connect attendees with the land and energies they will be working with during the retreat. This experience promises to be both rejuvenating and empowering, allowing each of us to shed what no longer serves us and step into our authentic lives.
If you’re feeling disconnected or uncertain, I encourage you to explore astrology as a tool for understanding yourself better. It can offer profound insights and validation, helping you embrace your unique journey. Whether through a personal reading or a transformative retreat experience, astrology can illuminate the path ahead.
Thank you for joining us today on Breathe More! I hope this conversation inspires you to look beyond societal expectations and embrace your true self. Remember, you are not alone on this journey. The stars are always there, guiding you every step of the way. If you’re interested in joining us for the retreat, check out the details in the show notes, and let’s make magic together!
Until next time, take a deep breath and keep shining. ✨
