Chani Nicholas
What’s your sign? Depending on the type of person you are, that can be a conversation opener or a conversation stopper. For Debbie, it’s an opener, and she will happily jump into a rabbit hole of astrological lore, intuition, and speculation. She absolutely wants to know what the universe can tell her about herself. In her new book You Were Born for This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance Chani Nicholas writes “astrology is a relentless reminder that we are the way we are on purpose.” This book, from an astrologer who never ignores the social forces bearing down on us, is a serious invitation for each of us to explore what our purpose and place in this universe is.
On this episode Debbie talks with Chani about her life in astrology. “Most ancient cultures believed that nature was having a conversation with us.”
