    What started as a casual Sunday afternoon chat turned into a two-part episode when Alex Gunter joined Amanda (who is resistant to astrology) to talk all things astrology. Alex breaks down the basics of sun, moon, and rising signs, explaining how different planets influence who we are and how we navigate the world.  This episode is about using astrology as a tool for self-understanding, growth, and embracing change, whether you’re astrology-curious or already lost in the stars.
