    Reclaiming Our Magic Pt. 2 - How Capitalism Erased Astrology & Stole Our Power (Eclipse That Sh*t Series)

    🔥 Episode Summary: In this episode, Diana P. Cartwright unpacks her groundbreaking article series on why magic had to be destroyed for capitalism to take root. As an integrative astrologer, Diana’s mission is to make astrological wisdom more accessible and use it in liberatory ways. Together, Christina and Diana dive into: The role of astrology and magic in breaking free from societal constraints How capitalism suppressed ancient wisdom to control power The fear and stigma around magic, intuition, and self-trust The importance of personal and ancestral history in self-discovery How entrepreneurs can navigate fear and uncertainty outside the traditional workforce🔑 Key Takeaways Magic is an animating life force that exists in all of us, not just a mystical concept. Capitalism suppressed astrology and magic to disconnect people from their inherent power. Internalized oppression and learned helplessness keep us locked in dominant paradigms. Understanding personal & ancestral history can guide us to break free from generational cycles. Modern astrology often lacks relational depth—we must return to a more individualized and intuitive approach. ⏳ Episode Chapters & Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction & Episode Overview 03:03 – Making Astrological Wisdom Accessible for Liberation 06:19 – The Power of Myth & Story in Astrology 07:50 – Connecting to the Living Sky & Resourcing Oneself 12:33 – Exploring the Meaning of Magic 21:40 – Unveiling the Dark Histories & Rise of Capitalism 27:27 – Challenging Internalized Oppression & Learned Helplessness 31:29 – Breaking Free from the Capitalistic System 32:28 – The Entrepreneurial Journey: Facing Fear & Building Self-Trust 36:00 – Knowing & Understanding Our Personal & Ancestral Histories 49:56  – Redefining Astrology: Moving Towards a Relational & Individualized Approach 52:36 – The Devaluation & Distortion of Astrology in Capitalism 01:10 – The Importance of Curiosity & Self-Reflection in Astrology🎙️ Sound Bites & Quotables 🔹 "We already have power within us—it doesn’t have to be labor." 🔹 "When we engage with astrology archetypically and mythically, it shifts our relationship to life’s challenges." 🔹 "The fear of magic and intuition comes from systems that profit off our disconnection from ourselves." 🔮 Guest: Diana Cartwright – Consulting Astrologer & Writer 📖 Bio: Diana is a trauma-responsive astrologer helping individuals integrate self-acceptance and collective liberation.
