🌿 Begin your new year with Michael in Costa Rica! Sign up for his New Year's Meditation Retreat: https://events.agapelive.com/new-year-retreat/ Explore what can happen when astrology becomes less about prediction and more about remembering who you are, understanding your unique design, and returning to the parts of yourself you may have learned to hide. Today Michael welcomes Debra Silverman. Debra Silverman is an astrologer, psychotherapist, spiritual guide, author, and founder of Debra Silverman Astrology. For nearly 50 years, she has combined her master's degree in Clinical Psychology with a practical, soul-centered approach to astrology, helping people better understand themselves, navigate change, and cultivate greater compassion. She is the author of The Missing Element and I Don't Believe in Astrology: A Therapist's Guide to the Life-Changing Wisdom of the Stars, host of the I Don't Believe in Astrology podcast, and creator of a psychological-spiritual model rooted in astrology and the four Elements. Her Applied Astrology school has educated thousands of students worldwide, and she has worked with figures including Sting, Madonna, Aaron Rodgers, Shailene Woodley, India Arie, and Julianne Hough. At the heart of her work is a simple conviction: astrology is medicine for the soul. Conversation Highlights Include -Why astrology can serve as a kind of "true north," giving language to the personality traits, patterns, and inner tensions we may have struggled to understand. -How the parts of ourselves we once judged as "too much," too quiet, too emotional, too controlling, or too different may actually be expressions of our natural gifts. -Why self-criticism and the "gremlins" of the mind can pull us away from our authentic nature, and how greater self-understanding can help us come home to ourselves. -How the four elements—water, air, earth, and fire—can offer a simple framework for understanding personality, balance, and the different ways we move through life. -Debra's distinction between the ego and the soul, and how she uses the rising sign as a doorway into what she sees as our deeper spiritual nature. -A conversation on destiny, free will, and why our greatest freedom may lie not in controlling what happens, but in how consciously we meet what life gives us. -Why relationships and triggers can reveal the very lessons we are here to learn, and how turning inward can free us from trying to change everyone around us. Next, Michael closes with a guided meditation on becoming still, observing the mind without judgment, and awakening more fully to our real nature and potential. 🪷 For more on Debra and her work, her books, her courses, and more, visit: https://debrasilvermanastrology.com/ and follow her across social media. ✨ Got a question about life, love, money, or spiritual growth?
