In this episode of Conversations at the Crossroads, we slow down and walk through the real basics of Western astrology in a grounded, witchy, totally beginner‑friendly way. I’ll help you understand your Sun, Moon, and Rising, what the planets actually do, and how the 12 signs and houses turn your birth chart into a cosmic map of your personality, patterns, and purpose....not just a meme about your zodiac sign.

Whether you only know your "Big 3" or you’ve never pulled up a chart before, you’ll get simple language, vivid examples from my own "Big 3", and gentle invitations to start reading your own sky. Here astrology becomes a practical tool for self‑understanding instead of something overwhelming or gatekept.

In this episode, I’m inviting you into my real, messy relationship with “shadow work” and what it’s actually looked like in my life—not just the moody quotes and pretty journal prompts. I share how my quiet irritation with constant selfies online turned into a mirror for my own jealousy, insecurity, and fear of not being liked, and how sitting with those feelings (instead of shaming them) opened up more compassion for myself and others. Along the way, I talk about shadow work through a Jungian lens in really human terms, offer gentle reflection questions you can take into your own practice, and remind you that this work isn’t about finding what’s wrong with you—it’s about learning to love the parts of you that you’ve been taught to hide.
