116: Understanding Astrology, Birth Charts & Horoscopes w/ Debra Silverman

Today's podcast is a much-awaited treat! I mentioned being interested in astrology a while back and a lot of people asked me to share more. Since I'm a beginner, I wanted to bring on an expert: Debra Silverman. Debra is an astrologer, psychologist, and expert on marrying the two: interpreting the stars and how they play into your reality.

Debra and I talk about the basics of studying astrology, balancing the concept of ‘destiny' with having free will, and why you shouldn't be afraid to read your horoscope. Plus: She drops a few insights from reading my own birth chart, so you all can get to know more about my personality (P.S. I'm a Libra!)
