In this conversation that I'm so thrilled to have had, I'm joined by astrologer, writer, and educator Clarissa Dolphin for a wide-ranging exploration of astrology's role in understanding the collective moment we're living through.

We trace Clarissa's remarkable journey into astrology – from growing up immersed in spiritual practices and pop astrology to building a thriving practice rooted in research, harmonic astrology, and cultural observation – and expand into a much larger conversation about entrepreneurship, social media, technology, and the profound societal shifts unfolding around us.

We explore what it means to practice astrology in an era of rapid change. How do we talk honestly about difficult transits without slipping into fear? What responsibility do astrologers have when interpreting collective events? And how do we stay grounded, connected, and hopeful as we navigate a world that often feels increasingly uncertain?

This conversation is equal parts philosophical, practical, and deeply human. If you've been wondering how to orient yourself amidst the sweeping changes of our time, I think you'll find both comfort and inspiration here.

In this episode, we explore:

• Clarissa's lifelong relationship with astrology and the lineage that shaped her practice
• How harmonic astrology transformed her understanding of the birth chart
• Building an astrology business from the ground up and the realities of entrepreneurship
• Why social media isn't the business engine many of us were led to believe it is
• Uranus in Gemini and the future of technology, communication, and our relationship with social media
• What happens to our minds—and our nervous systems—when we're constantly online
• The fine line between honest forecasting and fear-based astrology
• The difference between natal astrology and mundane (collective) astrology
• The upcoming Mars-Uranus-Pluto configurations and why they mark the beginning of a much larger story
• Community, innovation, and collective action in times of disruption
• Clarissa's upcoming What the F** USA: The Astrology Behind the Madness* podcast series and why these conversations matter now
