140: You may have figured out in the last year, as astrology has seen a massive surge in interest the last few years. I mean even Venmo, an app to send money online, is posting astrology memes?!This article states "According to Google Trends, searches for “birth chart” and “astrology” both hit five-year peaks in 2020, and many professional astrologers report that business took off under lockdown”.It makes sense. During the pandemic, we wanted guidance, insight, hope and faith that things would get better, and maybe the stars and planets had all the answers.In today's episode, I'm sharing insight into how my birth chart reading uncovered SO much for me, including validation around many sides of me. I also share how knowing all my placements feels like I can call on different alter egos of myself."Choosing a video game character" or embodying archetypes helps us activate different pieces of ourselves, and I think knowing your birth chart is a way to do this.This is a concept we'll be exploring more inside The Creative Rebel Mastermind. You can join us right here: https://chelseariffe.thrivecart.com/creative-rebel-mastermind/ Guest Expert Astrologer Hannah Crerar will be joining us, deciphering our own birth charts, with a focus on the North Node!
