Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of astrology and its impact on our lives. --- Listen to the podcast here: Astrology: How Birth Charts and Zodiac Signs Influence Our Connections with Luana Bossetti Welcome to Action’s Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. Us humans have a natural inclination to try to predict the future or speculate about what the future could possibly hold. It’s something we’ve been doing for probably longer than historic records have shown but we can see plenty of examples of it going all the way back to, in the case of Western culture, thinking about Ancient Greece and some of the measurements made by thinkers like Aristotle that kind of speculate about this so none of this is really new. Today, I want to talk to you about astrology because we’re recording on March 1, 2023, which is the start of a really major month in the astrological calendar as far as changes ahead, some things that we could possibly be seeing to change the direction that humanity is going to head. As you all know, we all do have free will and so, as a result, nothing’s set in stone but it’s good to start these conversations and talk about what we need to think about and prepare for. So, today is my first repeat guest on this podcast, Luana Bossetti, who has her own podcast as well. It’s changed names a few times so you have to tell us what it’s being called now. I’ve been a guest on her podcast. She’s also recently studied the field of astrology. --- Luana, welcome to the program. Yeah, thank you so much for having me again and, yeah, my podcast now, it’s The Lost & Found Millennial. Okay. I was speculating about whether you had another name change after that but, yeah. No, I think it’s quite because it’s broad, like Lost and Found, it’s like travel as well, you will get lost in your life and then you get found as well, I think. Yeah. Now we stay like that for a while. Most of us, at some point, have found ourselves lost or out of balance in some way and said, “Okay, I need to make an adjustment in my life of some kind.” Yes, yes. And, well, if we want to see it from the astrological point of view, my career line, to make it simple, it’s in Gemini and Gemini, we know it’s a sign that changes minds so many times. Oh, yeah. So, for me, it’s normal to approach so many projects and then change and change name and since ideas so that’s in line with my astrology, let’s say. My sun sign is a Sagittarius. Is that consistent with me keeping the same name and approaching 100 episodes or is there something that I’m out of line with? No, it’s consistent. It’s not the word for Sagittarius but because you are exploring so different topics and you have people on your podcast that talk about different topics, exactly, so it’s really in alignment, because Sagittarius wants to know everything and explore different things and explore the archetype of the explorer so the seeker of different adventures. I think that throughout your podcast, you go to different adventures, like talking to people from all over the world. So, it’s definitely in alignment. Well, that is good because I know that I’ve heard a lot of people say recently that when we have some of these negative emotions and people talk quite a bit about this idea of toxic positivity and ignoring negative emotions and so it’s like only the positive, but one of the most interesting statements I’ve heard is that when we have negative emotions, it’s kind of an indication that something in our lives are out of balance and that something needs to be thought of and something needs to be adjusted in some kind of way and, therefore, instead of just ignore, just like, oh, only think of the happy, try to actually look at it and say, “What is this telling me that I’m doing that’s out of alignment with who I inherently am?” Yeah, exactly, and all the motions are here to support us and to help us grow, like the emotional body that we have, it’s our moon sign, which is so different from your sun sign and that’s the beauty of it because you need to have the sun that it’s the ego and your moon your emotion and all the planets together in the Astro Wheel, if you will, they are all different because we need to have these different emotions, different experiences to live a full life as well, so, definitely, I couldn’t agree more. We need both the, quote-unquote, “negative” and “positive” emotions and they’re all there to support us, to send us a message.Share on X I call out as well on toxic positivity because I see that it’s toxic. Yeah, and it’s weird because I don’t want to overuse the word “toxic” because I know that it’s all the rage to describe anything as toxic but the general idea of taking anything negative and just ignoring it, change the subject, get my mind off of it and not really taking in the lesson is something that everyone can kind of relate to. Yeah, exactly, exactly. And even if we think about astrology, we have Saturn, that it’s the planet that everybody fears --- Yeah, the restrictions --- --- because it’s kind of a, quote-unquote, yeah, the father archetype, the one that wants to teach you a lesson and it could be like it’s the karmic teacher as well so somebody is like, “Oh, no, I don’t care about Saturn, I just want the good fun parts, like Jupiter or your sun,” but they’re there like the emotion to help you, to help you grow. We don’t grow in the happy times, when you are super happy and life is going according to your plan. We grow when we hit rock bottom and we go through certain phases that are not so, quote-unquote, “happy,” if you will. Yeah, that makes sense. So, I want to back up a little bit, get my audience acquainted with astrology, maybe not everyone’s familiar with it. So, where did it come from? What is the basis for this idea of kind of taking out a birth chart, figuring out what your sign is, and understanding what it means for your life? Astrology comes back to sensory and sensory is back because if you think about the ancient population, like the Egyptian or the Greek or even if we go to Asia, like the ancient population, they all use the star and astrology for so many reason. Like they use the moon for their harvest, when they needed to plant and then when they needed to harvest, they used the moon. Or for direction. They didn’t have our Google Maps that we have right now or even paper maps at the time so they follow the planet, the sun, the astrology, to help them for basic needs. So, it really dates back to a lot, a lot of years ago, but then it kind of got lost because then, as we know, when the industrialization happened and, well, I don’t want to go into like too much about the patriarchal society and all of that, when all these like, quote-unquote, “not scientific,” even if astrology can really relate to science in so many things, got put aside and now that we see that we have this mystical lifestyle arising even more, so many people are getting back to astrology, which I like to say that it’s like your DNA, because every chart, birth chart, it’s the wheel that you see with all the planets, with all the signs, with all the houses that it looks really like a wheel, like the wheel of life, it’s really your DNA. Everybody has a different chart. There’s not a chart that is the same. Even twins have different charts, even if they are born maybe some minutes after, it depends, like they might have similar but they can have some differences so it’s really like something unique. And it’s something that in my opinion helps not only to discover more about yourself but also to accept and embrace all that you are because if we think about horoscope, we look about your sun sign or star sign as some people call it. Everybody knows their zodiac sign, because it depends on the day you were born. So we know if you were born in April, like I am, in the second half, you are a Taurus, but then, this is just a little part because then you have all the other planets and all the signs of the zodiac that means different things. So, when you look at the whole birth chart, you are able to understand and even appreciate a lot of yourself at a deeper level that you cannot if you just look at your horoscope. And sometimes people are like, “I don’t really resonate with my horoscope,” and it’s because it’s a tiny part of who you are, not the whole thing. I also weirdly think of it as something that was bigger in the Middle Ages than it is now, we’re coming back, and one thing I also think about is do you see astrology as being odds with, say, the Abrahamic religions, the Judaism, Christianity, and Islam that a lot of people adhere to? Or do you see them as being complementary to one another for people who do adhere to one of those three faiths? I think they’re definitely complementary. I grew up Catholic so that’s my upbringing with my family. If you think about astrology, the four elements, like earth, water, air, and fire, and if you think about when in the Bible,...
