SHOW NOTES:
This week on The Everygirl Podcast, we’re shooting for the stars with intuitive astrologer and healer Danielle Paige. The episode begins with an exploration of Danielle’s journey towards astrology and discovering her spiritual self. She tells the story of her dramatic 30th birthday trip to Paris, a trip that changed her life forever, as it started her on a challenging but worthwhile journey to connecting with a more spiritual side of herself. Once Danielle started meditating, she found that she was able to be guided towards her purpose, which she says is to share her story and guide others on the paths to understanding more about themselves. Josie and Danielle have a conversation about making money as it relates to finding your purpose, and unpacking the guilt we can feel once we start experiencing financial gain from doing something that we are deeply passionate about. The conversation then turns towards the specifics of astrology. Danielle explains to Josie what a birth chart actually is, and how each of the astrological signs are mapped and imprinted onto us when we are born. She also discusses the fact that this does not mean that we are fixed in our ways based on our birth charts, and dives into the difference between the shadow and light sides of our own signs. Danielle uses a detailed analogy to explain to Josie the difference between the sun, moon, and rising star signs, or the “big three.” The two have a conversation about our culture’s misinterpretation of astrology into compatibility and horoscopes, and how we actually can use our birth charts to better understand our partnerships and relationships. Josie asks Danielle to explain mercury in retrograde: what does it actually mean for mercury to be in retrograde, and why do people talk about it so much? Danielle, who has experience predicting some global events based on astrology, makes some predictions for what we might be going through collectively during 2023. Then the episode closes with Danielle doing a reading of Josie’s birth chart, as a powerful example of what it can look like to learn more about your astrological self.
