Astrology + Wellbeing (with Emily Trinkaus)
Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!
What do you think about when you look up at the sky?
I can promise you, it will never be the same after you hear this interview with astrologer, energy healer, group facilitator, creator, and podcaster, Emily Trinkaus.
Emily joins us to talk about the art and science of astrology - and she takes us way beyond sun, moon, and rising (though those themes do come up!), and instead focuses on our individual, unique, dynamic, and personal relationship with the sky. In this episode Emily shares both a foundational understanding of astrology as well as her personal 40 year journey. She offers insight into the usefulness of astrology as it relates to self-knowledge, self-understanding, and self-acceptance. Emily's perspective emanates from this knowing of the self to extend toward how it helps us connect more readily with others, with nature, and with the cosmos. Courtney's ear picks up some Buddhist terminology and a brief exploration of how astrology intersects with other faith traditions and philosophies ensues.
This episode was magical - even in light of the brief internet failure about halfway through - and is sure to challenge, broaden, and deepen your understanding of this ancient practice.
Emily shares a few amazing resources including Linda Goodman's Sun Signs, Jan Spiller's Astrology for the Soul, and the We'Moon calendar.

You will encounter (as we did) a brief glitch about midway through the recording. We lost our signal and tried to simply roll with it - we hope you will, as well!
