In this episode, I have the great pleasure of speaking with author, counselor, clinical social worker, and mystical astrologer Carmen Turner Schott about the intersection and interplay of astrology, destiny, healing as well as personal growth and agency.
As Carmen explains she uses astrology as a tool for self-awareness for us to heal, transform, and become more resilient, while her down-to-earth book “Your Astrological Energy: Maximize the Power of Your Birth Chart” gives us details about the power of our own unique astrological energy at play. The planets and constellations can give us important clues about our decisions, the reasons behind our emotions and how to best move forward in our personal and professional lives.
On a macro level, there are various tumultuous events occurring astrologically right now, which explains why this era is such a milestone and how and why it is very different and more revolutionary compared to most of the other time periods.
Moreover, the alignment of stars can give us important clues about our personal lives including our karma, soul mission, marriage, and soulmates. While the North node has an aspect that is more fixed and determined in terms of our unique fate and destiny, there are other aspects that are more flexible and contingent upon our own decisions and actions. A combination of both may apply to the quest of our soul mate, where karma plays a role, but we may have a say in how things turn out in the end.
