What if your birth chart is less about fate and more about leverage? We sit down with professional astrologers Carmen Turner Schott and Bernie Ashman to unpack a clear, modern path to self-understanding—one that blends Jungian archetypes, practical psychology, and the karmic threads of past life patterns. From the first minutes, they translate symbols into everyday choices: how to move from reactivity to assertion, how to set boundaries without losing empathy, and how to turn insight into steady change.
Carmen and Bernie break down the architecture of a chart—planets as drivers, signs as style, houses as the stage—and show why two similar charts can still result in wildly different lives. Their tour of the twelve archetypes makes each sign feel fresh and useful: Aries as the hero, Cancer as the caregiver, Leo as the artist, Scorpio as the magician, Aquarius as the outlaw, Pisces as the innocent. They also demystify the lunar nodes, the 12th house, Saturn, and Pluto, reframing them as guides for transformation rather than cosmic punishers. You’ll hear how node pairs map core lessons like relationship karma, creativity and individuality, knowledge and exploration, and the balance of family and career.
We also dive into intuition—the “sixth sense”—and how everyone can cultivate it through simple practices that honor their elemental style. Whether you’re a skeptic or a seasoned student, this conversation treats astrology as a practical toolkit: learn your sun, moon, and rising, identify recurring patterns, and make small, honest shifts that compound into real freedom. By the end, you’ll have a grounded understanding of how to use archetypes and nodes to clarify identity, heal old patterns, and take the next right step.
