At the start of a new year, we all wonder what the year will hold for us. Even with the resolutions and intentions we set, there's also that element of uncertainty around the things we can't control. What will come our way? What will shift for us?

This goes beyond just us as individuals. Our planet also goes through shifts and transitions with the rhythms of nature and the universe – and on this show, I'm talking with astrologer Rachel Lang to learn more about what might be coming for all of us here on earth in 2023 and beyond.

Before giving her predictions for 2023, Rachel breaks down what astrology is and why it's so much more than what many people think. She helps demystify some of the thought processes and patterns behind it and explains some of the shifts that could be coming in the universe.

And, to help illustrate just how complex and deep astrology charts can be, I'm putting myself out there and letting her read my chart on air. Curious to find out what might be going on in my life this year? Listen to find out!
