ep 4 | you create your own reality with Anoush Gostanian

It's Astrological by Cosmic Moves

My friend Anoush and I came together to talk about astrology and her being a new mom to baby Mia, but the conversation took a surprising turn! We ended up talking about biology, astronomy (and if astrology is a science or not), and philosophy.

As deep as those topics can get, we kept things light by giggling every five minutes because we can’t take life too seriously, right?

While Anoush went through almost all the most major of changes in the past two years (having a baby, getting married, getting a new job), she has navigated it all with grace and a sense of humor.

Anoush has a whopping 6 placements in Leo...but she doesn’t resonate with traditional “Leo” characteristics! We talk through this, as well as the damage that stereotyping by sun sign can do both for others and ourselves.

Tune in if you’ve ever felt like you don’t resonate with a part of your chart and to dispel all those silly astrological stereotypes that we so often can peg ourselves in.

So it's good to know that the reason why I'm constantly changing, it's maybe not a bad thing, but it's more of like what I need to break a cycle. I think that's really cool
