And I think it's really interesting because I say I believe like I'm saying something subjective as opposed to the objective reality that we are made of the exact same materials that the stars are made of and that the planets are made of and that the oceans are made of.

That we are all the same chemical compounds.

And so there is, for me, an understanding that there is an intrinsic relationship between us and all of life.

I believe that all of life is trying to be in relationship with us as we journey through this experiment called life.

And every opportunity that there is to see life

more clearly through the multitude of mediums that exist in the world why not look at life through that why not be like oh what do you have to teach me tree what do you have to teach me ocean what do you have to teach me mars what do you have to teach me sun i believe that all of them are teachers and they're all here to guide us and also i just found that like it works the first time i saw my birth chart

the snapshot of the sky at the moment I was born, I was like, oh, that's why my life looks the way it looks.

Really?

It was so...

clearly evident it was so clearly this is you this is who you are through these symbols through these energies this is your existence Sonia and I don't know what else to say except it works so I'm a firm believer that I don't need to know how or why it works once I know it works I know it works

Yeah.

It makes me think of two things.

One is one of the sort of key principles of the way in which I live my life and some of the experiments that I'm in right now around world building.

The focus of them is to become new by becoming ancient.

How is it that that which wants to emerge comes through by reclaiming that which has always been, right?

And so there's this practice for me that's like, there is something in the ancient wisdoms that has information for us in this moment.

about how we might move into the future.

But the other thing that I think about that's specific about astrology is so, and we'll talk more about sort of some of the specifics, but each, um, in the zodiacal wheel, it has 12 houses and each house corresponds to a different aspect of life.

And the 12th house historically used to be called the house of death institutions and prisons.

And which is awful right it's like that's horrible and what I realized is that we called it the House of death institutions in prisons because it's actually the House of the spiritual realm and the ancestral realm and if you were engaged.
