In this illuminating episode of The Sovereign Shift, Chelsea Eden Dubeau sits down with bestselling author and astrologer Carmen Turner-Schott for a deep dive into the hidden realms of astrology—the 8th and 12th houses, often called the houses of transformation, trauma, and spiritual awakening.
Carmen, a therapist and intuitive with over 30 years of experience, shares how astrology reveals the deeper purpose behind pain, loss, and sensitivity. She explains why 12th House souls often feel like fallen angels—deeply empathic beings carrying collective and ancestral wounds—and how 8th House souls embody the phoenix, rising again and again from the ashes of profound change.
Together, Chelsea and Carmen explore: ✨ How your birth chart is a map of the soul and the key to self-healing ✨ The difference between the 8th and 12th houses—and what they reveal about your past lives, trauma, and gifts ✨ The spiritual link between astrology, addiction, and emotional sensitivity ✨ Why 2025 is an astrologically unprecedented year of collective transformation ✨ The science and spirituality behind astrology’s “hidden houses” ✨ Carmen’s personal journey from trauma to spiritual service—and how understanding her chart helped her walk away from a 25-year government career to follow her true north node
If you’ve ever felt different, deeply sensitive, or drawn to unseen realms, this conversation will feel like home. Bring your birth chart, take a deep breath, and get ready to rediscover the sacred design behind your soul’s journey.
