She’s also a mum, loves astrology, and enjoys helping people.   00:58 – Madam Faraluna’s very first astrology book was El Gran Libro del Horóscopo by Marta Carreras.   03:33 – If Madam Faraluna could bring only three books to a deserted island, her first pick would be Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle by C. G. Jung. (Check out the English translation by R.F.C. Hull.)   04:12 – Madam Faraluna’s second choice would be Astrology for Dummies by Rae Orion.   09:35 – Interlude: Join the CAELi Support Drive and for only $35, you can enjoy your morning beverage out of a gorgeous CAELi mug!   10:22 – The third title Madam Faraluna would bring is By Jove! The Meaning of the Astrological Jupiter by Liz Greene. (Greene’s Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil also earns a mention. And she loves Astrology, Psychology and the Four Elements by Stephen Arroyo.)   23:11 – For beginners, Madam Faraluna recommends Marta Carreras’s El Gran Libro. But she also likes the work of Stephen Arroyo, Tito Maciá, and Dane Rudhyar.   24:06 – Find Madam Faraluna’s info at: https://linktr.ee/madamfaraluna.   28:00 – Thanks for listening to Within Orb!
