Maria Mateus is a 6/3 Emotional Manifesting Generator on the Left Angle Cross of Duality. She has been studying and practicing astrology since her teens and has recently come off the roof in her 6th Line process. Maria has a BA in Psychology and one of a handful of MA degrees in Astrology from Kepler College. Her research has culminated in a deep understanding of astrology as a language apart from its common use as a kind of personality typing system. In this episode, we discuss some of the key areas of focus in her work including the birth chart as a story of becoming, life as a journey, and the chart as our itinerary, polarities, and the compensatory nature of signs. We also touch on timing and the turning of the birth chart, and explore how the spiritually “good” charts are the challenging ones, along with several other common misconceptions in astrology. We hope you enjoy the conversation. For more information on Maria and her work, please visit https://www.lincosastrology.com/.
