There’s no question that astrology is having a moment, when even the non-believers among us will openly blame mercury for their technology troubles or saturn for the turbulence in their late 20’s. But what is it about understanding ourselves through the stars that is so compelling? What if astrology isn’t just about predicting our future but is actually a way to feel happier in our daily lives?  

In this episode, Dr. Scott Lyons is joined by Debra Silverman, Astrologer and Physiotherapist, to unpack the cosmic influences in our daily lives. Debra, author of The Missing Element and the host of The I Don't Believe In Astrology Podcast, views astrology not as a fortune-telling gimmick but as a compass for self-discovery, a playful guide, and a pathway to healing.

In our conversation, we explore the unexpected corridors of astrology and its profound insights into understanding the human condition. We unpack the symbiosis of astrology and psychology, the intricacies of our internal "complaining machine,” the limitations of the human operating system, activating the observer within us, the healing power of dance, and much more. 

Topics We Break Down:

  • The intersection between astrology and psychology.
  • Examples that demonstrate the value of astrology.
  • Patterns of the human operating system.
  • Turning on the observer within us.
  • Insights into the healing concept of “embodiment.”
  • Reconnecting with nature to overcome depression.
