121. Martha Alter Hines: Infinite Soul Wisdom Astrology

How might our astrology practice serve as a sacred portal of remembering? How might our unique perspectives as humans living in these times shift the trajectory of astrology? 

In this conversation, I'm joined by astrologer, channel, and healer Martha Alter Hines for a conversation about her unique perspective and relationship with astrology. 

Martha is currently preparing to teach the first round of her year-long astrology course and sacred journey, which you can learn more about here. Recorded in late October 2023, we discussed how astrology has helped Martha remember herself as an ancient being and a unique conduit of divine wisdom on a personal level as well as her process of stepping into the role of facilitating this remembering for others. We also spoke about Martha's background as clinical social worker, a psychotherapist, and a body worker inform her current astrology and healing practice, as well as how she teaches astrology.

Martha's Infinite Soul Wisdom Astrology 101 Course & Sacred Journey begins on January 25, 2024. Sign up here. 

In the past few years, Martha and I have had the opportunity to collaborate - most notably on Re-Becoming The One 2023, a free online symposium that aims to promote healing of gender, sexuality, and our relationship to Love and Life itself. I deeply appreciate and admire the ways that Martha stewarded significant projects and containers with integrity, groundedness, and devotion.

Here’s Martha’s bio: 

First and foremost, I am a mom of two amazing kids, ages ten and fifteen. We live in BEAUTIFUL coastal California and feel so lucky to be here.

I come from a big, international family.  I was born in Bangkok, Thailand, and grew up in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kenya, and northern Virginia.  I received my Masters in Social Work from Smith College in Massachusetts in 2001.  I then worked as a clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and body worker for most of the past twenty years. I specialized in prevention, treatment, and investigation of child abuse, attachment, and trauma.

In 2018, the spirit world made it very clear that it was time for me to move on from that very important work to the calling of my soul – assisting people to navigate the beautiful and often challenging experience of awakening to their ultimate, cosmic selves and souls.

For many years, since I was 21 years old, I have had an ability to see many things beyond the physical world – spirits of all kinds, past lives, the structure of people’s bodies and cells, and so on.

In the work I do now, I bridge both the Earthly world and that of the spiritual and cosmic worlds to support us in coming into our personal and collective relationship with the spirit world and our own ways of living as conscious beings of both the Earth and the divine.

I feel strongly that the world needs our wisdom, not only of our minds, but of our whole beings - our minds, hearts, bodies, spirits, and selves as beings of the Earth, cosmos, and infinity.

I love this work that I do now and am honored and full of joy holding space for others to recognize their own beautiful, literally divine selves and to live the full life they are here to live.
