Exploring Astrology and Empowerment: A Conversation with Brittany Pastuhov

Ever wondered if there's more magic waiting to be discovered in your life? Meet Brittany Pastuhov, founder of Third House LLC and your good neighbor astrologer who's been professionally guiding clients through the cosmos since 2016.

Brittany's approach to astrology and tarot reading breaks away from common misconceptions. Far from the stereotype of fortune-tellers who make scary predictions or attempt to impress with vague generalities, she positions herself as an ethical practitioner whose primary goal is serving her clients. "I really pride myself on developing good relationships with clients, where my job is to serve them and help them understand what's going on in the spiritual realm," she explains with genuine warmth.

What sets Brittany's practice apart is her focus on empowerment. As an astro empowerment coach, she works primarily with clients—often women—who feel restless in their current situations or sense they're not pursuing their dreams. These individuals haven't lost their connection to their intuition; that connection has simply been hidden while they've focused on "trying to make it in the world." Through astrology and tarot, Brittany helps rebuild that essential link to authenticity and desire, guiding clients toward dream careers and greater confidence.

Beyond her consulting practice, Brittany hosts the Third House Podcast covering astrology forecasts, magic, and tarot. When not working, she enjoys family time with her husband and two young children in Vermont. For those seeking guidance, Brittany sees clients locally in Brattleboro and can be reached through her website at BrittanyPastuhov.com or on Instagram @BrittanyPastuhov. Ready to reconnect with your authentic self and discover the magic waiting in your stars? Brittany's message is clear: "I am here to support your vision and your dreams as a client."

We're excited to learn allabout you and your business.
Tell us about your company.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
So I am an astrologer .
I've been practicing for years,since 2016 professionally.
I also read tarot, and theseare things that I've been
studying for a lifetime, and I'man astro empowerment coach.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
So, with some of my clients who want to go further.
We use the planets and theastrology to help them develop
more confidence and make choicestowards their dreams, usually a
dream career.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Okay, sure, Everybody wanted to know how did you get
into this business, brittany?
Yeah, I've always beeninterested in kind of the
esoteric and fortune telling.
I remember receiving a bookabout fortune telling when I was
a child and I always wanted toread more astrology books.
Started reading tarot when Iwas 15.
So it just grew from there, butit was really a hobby for a
long time before I decided tostart asking for money for

(01:40):
readings.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
What are some of the myths and misconceptions of your
industry?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, I think there are a lot of misconceptions
about astrologers and tarotreaders.
I think that people often areafraid to get a reading.
They're afraid that I'll tellthem something scary, or they've
had bad experiences withpractitioners in the past who
maybe like were unethical withthe information they revealed.
I really pride myself on beingan ethical reader and trying to

(02:09):
serve the client, not justmaking predictions from ego or
trying to impress people, butreally working with the client
to help them make the decisionthat feels best for them, and I
always want my clients to followtheir own intuition and use
their discernment ultimately,even though the advice from the
cards of the stars can be reallyuseful information.
But I think one of themisconceptions is that all

(02:32):
readers are kind of justgrifters or are trying to take
advantage of people or are goingto scare you, and that's really
not true.
And I really pride myself ondeveloping good relationships
with clients, where my job is toserve the client and help them
understand what's going on inthe spiritual realm.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
On the business end, we know that marketing is the
heart of every business.
How would you define yourcustomer and how do you attract
them?

Speaker 3 (03:00):
in their life, somebody who my clients are
often kind of restless in thejob that they have.
They feel like their life couldbe more magical or there's a

(03:23):
dream that they're not chasing,and so they come to me to
reconnect with their own magic.
They come to me to reconnectwith the truth about who they
are and sometimes for answersand advice from the cards.
But I would say usually I'mworking with mostly women,
although it's not exclusivelywomen and we're working to help
them build that connection totheir authenticity that has not
been lost but has just beenhidden as they've been focusing

(03:45):
on trying to make it in theworld, and sometimes people are
disconnected from theirintuition and we're rebuilding
that connection to who theyreally are and what they really
want.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
