Eps 061: The Astrology of The US and The Future That Lies Ahead w. Clarissa Dolphin

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 practiceHow harmonic astrology transformed her understanding of the birth chartBuilding an astrology business from the ground up and the realities of entrepreneurshipWhy social media isn't the business engine many of us were led to believe it isUranus in Gemini and the future of technology, communication, and our relationship with social mediaWhat happens to our minds—and our nervous systems—when we're constantly onlineThe fine line between honest forecasting and fear-based astrologyThe difference between natal astrology and mundane (collective) astrologyThe upcoming Mars-Uranus-Pluto configurations and why they mark the beginning of a much larger storyCommunity, innovation, and collective action in times of disruptionClarissa's upcoming What the F** USA: The Astrology Behind the Madness* podcast series and why these conversations matter nowYou can find Clarissa:On her websiteOn her InstagramOn ThreadsConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website
