Welcome to the "Sage and the Mystic" where we answer listener questions! This is a monthly feature of Unreasonable Magic. In this first official episode of The Sage and the Mystic, Christy is joined by her longtime friend Peggy to answer listener questions with two very different but complementary perspectives: Peggy brings the grounded, logical “sage” view, and Christy brings the intuitive, astrological “mystic” view. The outcome is just fun and I know you will love it! Questions this week feature retirement and life transitions as well as what to do about family who thinks they deserve to be at your wedding. Also we answer questions about loss and life's curve balls. You will laugh, you might cry and you may also see yourself in one of these questions and answers. The episode also explores the emotional weight of transitions, the importance of timing, and how different personality types approach major life decisions.
