In today’s episode, I had a conversation with my friend Aliza Penelope. We spoke about Aliza’s very synchronistic and magical introduction to astrology and energy, her evolving relationship with the two modalities, and the language of dreams. At some point during our conversation, I felt like we entered another space and dimension - a world where personal storytelling, astrology, archetypes, and dreams all melt into a unified field. It all felt very Neptunian to me.

At the heart of our conversation, Aliza and I were exploring what it means to be inherently contradictory beings, humans who are capable of experiencing deep connections and as well as challenges. Aliza and I are also both Virgo risings and I think you can sense this during our discussions on how to live in a world where things are always coming together and dissolving.

Here's Aliza's bio: Aliza is a writer whose process circles around and through astrology, film, music, visual art, sociology, psychology and the dream-space. She values process and mistakes, vulnerability, intimacy, and imperfection. She is a searcher, and her holy grail is a deeper and deeper kindness.
