So, without further ado, I am going to bring her on right now and welcome. Welcome you, suzanne. To Live, love, engage. 02:01 - Suzanne Gerber (Guest) Oh, it's so good to be here. Thank you for inviting me, gloria 02:06 - Gloria "Grace" Rand (Host) I've been fascinated by astrology for a long time and in fact I didn't even get to tell you this, but my sister used to. She was an astrologer, she used to do charts for folks and everything so, and I know she did mine years and years ago and I've changed a lot since then. But I want to talk about you specifically, though. I mentioned in your bio that you became interested in astrology as a child, so I wonder if you could share with our audience a little bit about what it was that really piqued your interest in that. 02:40 - Suzanne Gerber (Guest) I think a lot of people can relate to this, because the night sky is so compelling, especially when it's a clear night you could see all the stars when the moon is full or really bright it just always captivated me. I had a little mobile over my crib and it was the stars hanging, you know, with the sun in the middle and I don't know. There was just always a fascination, a sense that there was more to the world than what we thought of, and the sky and the moon especially, seemed proof of that. And when I did a science project in third grade I drew the whole solar system in meticulous detail. It was so compelling to me. 03:21 And then, as I got a little older, in high school I got my hands on a sun sign book Somehow it's long before the computer's age and the internet age and you had to find books and I would talk to anybody who would listen about their sun sign because of course I had no other way to calculate the other elements of their chart. And then I went to college and I lived in Europe and the whole time I was there I kept telling my partner at the time I can't wait till we get back to the States and live in New York and I can really study astrology in earnest. And my first week back I grabbed the local paper, found an ad first ad, on the whole page. It said astrology class is now forming. I never even checked for anything else. Signed up with that person. She was my teacher for three years and my whole life changed as a result of it. 04:13 - Gloria "Grace" Rand (Host) That is so cool and I love how the universe will do that for us. It will give us those signs when we're looking for them, or sometimes even when we're not looking for them as well. But I think that's so, so cool. But it is interesting, though, and I wonder what was it? Because you know you talked about first, you know, looking at the stars and planets as a little kid and I did too. I was always fascinated by that stuff, and I love science fiction and things like that. 04:41 So why do you think, though? Because you could have gone two ways? You could have gone the science-y route. You know traditional astronomy and studying, you know the planets, and maybe you know going into that way but instead you went into the astrology and more of the, I guess the personal impact, I guess, of how the planets, what do you think? What do you think was it about that, or maybe that is what it was that kind of led you down this path instead? 05:19 - Suzanne Gerber (Guest) My sister and this may or may not be surprising she became a psychologist. She also around the same time that I got involved with astrology. She taught herself to read poems, Started with a book that was like, I think, in my grandmother's bookcases, and then she learned how to read tarot cards. So it's kind of interesting that even though she went in a very professional direction as a psychologist, she always had this as a sideline. I also, as you mentioned, I went into journalism because back before the internet it was hard to make a living as an astrologer, right, it just wasn't a popular profession. Let's say, it wasn't usually on a pull-down list of what are you? I'm an astrologer who works with people on the internet you know around the world, but that didn't exist. 06:11 But I always was dabbling in learning and studying and and doing readings for people. In the beginning before I felt very confident, really, mostly in a barter situation, usually for body work of some kind healing work and mostly for feedback, because it's the only way if you know and you're really hitting. But I never didn't love the science-y part of it and I still can really geek out, especially and this is less on the astronomy, geology kind of part, astrophysics-y part but the magic of numbers, and that's something that astrology really reveals to us, because that's how we can tell how the planets are functioning, by degrees, by relationships, by connection. And the thing that's interesting to mention is originally, like way back in the day, astronomy and astrology were the same science. They came out of the same field. It's just the differences. 07:14 Astrology applies certain and you could say assumptions, but it's really much more than that. Thousands of years, millions of people and, as I like to say, millions of satisfied customers have worked with these, received symbols and archetypes and energies of the planets and their relationships. And ultimately, to me, yeah, it's great to geek out. I love the James Webb telescope. I follow where it's going and the images that it's sending back. That's great, but it doesn't help people and for me, I always had a longing to try to bring any kind of healing instincts or supportive instincts or therapeutic approaches to life, and that's where astrology, for me, is the most magical and unparalleled thing. 08:02 - Gloria "Grace" Rand (Host) Well, perfect segue. So let's dive into that a little bit more about, because I said, you know, when I first, my first exposure, I think, to astrology was okay, and again this is showing our age when you used to get a daily newspaper and read it, you know, and so you'd have these things in there, and so I knew that I was born in September, I was a Virgo, and so I would, you know, look at that. But there is so much more to it. So how, I guess how, can people use astrology like as a guide for, maybe, decision making? 08:35 - Suzanne Gerber (Guest) Well, a lot of people are. I mean, it's just become one of the most popular things in the world, right Since, I would say since COVID....
