Your birth chart can help you navigate life transitions more than most people think.
Meli Neubek is an astrologer, co-host of Celestial Curiosities, and one of my closest friends, which means she has full permission to tell me when my two-hour-a-day YouTube astrology binge is starting to look like a coping strategy.
I recorded this a few weeks after March 3rd, when I woke up feeling like I’d been under anesthesia for six years inside a dynamic I’d been calling sovereignty. Both of our charts, apparently, had this written.
So we sit with the real question: what is astrology actually doing when it lands, and where does it turn into another way to outsource trusting yourself? Meli walks through the difference between predictive, psychological, and evolutionary work, why she practices tropical over sidereal, and what Saturn was doing to my second house the day everything cracked open.
She also names something rarely said out loud: how suicidal thoughts can show up as part of an identity death, and why that’s not a sign something’s gone wrong.
