Natalie: I’m so excited to meet you today. So first, I want to ground us in the theme of this issue of Human Shift: the seventh chakra—divine connection and unity consciousness. What does awakening look like in a collective and in an embodied sense? So rather than escaping the body or transcending reality, how can we root our transcendence in truth? We see you as a model for that synthesis. Do you see astrology as a seventh chakra or crown chakra tool, to tap into higher awareness or spiritual insight?
