Manage episode 331833541 series 3336374
Have you ever interviewed your former boss for a podcast? Thatâs exactly what I did for this episode!
Salim Catrina is my former boss and current friend, and we took a deep dive into her natal chart during this chat. Salim grew up in the Bay Area and lived most of her adult life in Italy. She loooooooves learning languages, which is what brought her to the world of translation and working with me!
This episode is for you if youâve ever felt like a late bloomer or like youâre finding your purpose later in life.
Salim opens up about how her family, and partner, and job are great, but sheâs still looking for something bigger than those things to light her up.
Salimâs chart is one of the most striking Iâve seen for someone who has traveled extensively and lived abroad - serious Sagittarius energy!
Tune in if you want to laugh along with us and hear what a reading with me might be like!
I feel like the things that you think that will give you, or what the world tells you will give you "purpose" in your life are not exactly it, at least for me. - Salim Catrina
Salim and I also chat about:
- Finding balance with your north node and south node
- Fighting against fiery energy vs surrendering to it - when is fighting against the fight not working?
- Relationships as a reflection of parts of yourself
- What itâs like to live abroad in Italy
- Astrology as a language, and how to choose the right interpreter of the stars for you (aka astrologer) based on your style and preference
- Interpreting astrology is not about explaining âthe thingâ itâs about translating the symbols and geometry into concepts or potential concerns in a way the person understands (without having to learn all about astrology)
- What itâs like having lots of retrograde planets in your chart
- Finding your purpose in life after 40, outside your kids, your partner, or your career
- Looking to your north node and midheaven in your chart when it comes to finding your purpose
- How the midheaven isnât just about career, but is about your larger calling in life
- What having a Capricorn midheaven is like and how it might be frustrating to not have a goal to strive toward
- Being a late bloomer and how to know if youâve âbloomedâ
- Why your natal chart is your soulâs blueprint (and how validating that is!)
- What itâs like to have mercury retrograde conjunct your midheaven
- What itâs like having your north node square your midheaven
- Working with a grand trine in fire, feeling comfortable taking initiative, but sometimes fiery energy may come too easily
