Can astrology help women over 50 find their purpose? In this episode of the 'Mixing Up Midlife' podcast, hosts Terri and Melissa interview intuitive tarot reader and astrologer, Mary Jo Cranmore aka MJ. MJ shares her journey from a television news producer to an astrologer, her spiritual awakening and provides insights about astrological houses, North Node, South Node and how they relate to one's purpose in life. She also provides guidance on how to interpret this information to guide decisions and personal growth. Additionally, Mary Jo delves into the Japanese concept of 'Ikigai' and how it intersects with astrology when deciphering one's life purpose.
Because there was so much “good stuff” we’ve made this a two-parter.
