Ladies! Gather around because today we’re throwing it back and diving deep into the cosmos. Remember the thrill of flipping through the glossy pages of Teen Magazine, Tiger Beat, or Seventeen? Oh yes, those paper relics (pre-digital takeover, IYKYK). I don't know about you, but it was a sacred ritual of mine to check my horoscope to see if the stars had finally aligned for that hot crush to NOTICE me. Cute then, but let’s be real — we didn’t know astrology’s true power.

Well, buckle up, because our guest today, Suzanne Gerber, is here to drop some serious cosmic truth bombs. Suzanne isn’t just dabbling in stardust — she’s a classically trained modern astrological counselor who knows how to make the stars make sense. Her own journey started young, with an Ouija board session that revealed her late grandmother’s Hebrew name. (Talk about mystical origins!)

And here’s the tea: If you’re in midlife and wondering why you feel a bit… stuck, lost, or like you’re just wandering around in a cosmic fog — it’s not just you. Enter: the planetary return of Chiron, aka the “wounded healer.” Suzanne teaches us that this powerful planetary return during midlife is stirring up all kinds of old wounds and patterns. But don’t panic! Because, just like we’d never leave the house for a big event without checking ourselves in the mirror first (lashes on point, outfit on fire), astrology is our soul's mirror. It reflects the shifts, changes, and possibilities in our lives — and then we get to decide how to navigate them.

Think of it this way: Every movie boils down to 9 main plots, but the details make each story unique. Your life? Same deal. The planets may set the stage, but Suzanne shows us how to finesse the script, embrace our journey, and own our midlife magic.

In this episode, Suzanne teaches us that:

1. Modern day astrology focuses on the intersection of the acceptance of the immortality of the human soul and our psyche to provide guidance on how to best navigate our present day challenges. 
2. Astrology doesn't make us do things. Instead, view it as a "drop down" menu on a website. It is a menu of options that we can choose from. It is the astrologists job to help you evaluate the choices by knowing who YOU are as an individual.
3. If you had a big event to go to, you wouldn't get dressed in the closet in the dark and walk out the door without ever looking in the mirror. Instead, you'd look in the mirror and make minor adjustments. Astrology can be that mirror in which your life is reflected so that you can make minor adjustments along the way.
4. Around midlife our lives are impacted by a celestial being known as Chiron that represents our deepest traumas and the healing of these wounds. Therefore it is no surprise that at this time in our lives we become reflective of these things. So, if you were born between 1968-69 thorough 1976-77, you may likely be experiencing this phenomenon.
5. If you know your sun sign (what you read about in your horoscope), your moon sign and your rising sign, this is a good place to start because it give you perspective on your natural tendencies. Suzanne likens astrology to movie plots...all movies can be boiled down to 9 (basic) plots...but, the details matter and make each movie unique. It is the same in life. While we all fall into one of these astrological signs, our how we each approach life is unique and different. Being aware of your tendencies or "default settings "and reflecting on how you approach life and being self-aware of what you want to do differently is how you can change your life and harness astrology to do so.
