Walter Mercado — He Inspired Everyone Who Was Scared To Be Different

Claudia's friends called her Walta before she ever had a brand. That's how much Walter Mercado meant to her growing up. When the Netflix documentary dropped it wasn't just a moment of nostalgia — it was proof that an astrologer could have a documentary made about them. That the subject she loved most in the world was worthy of that kind of attention. Then the conversation closes with the thing that mattered most about Walter Mercado — not the sexuality, not the controversy, not the lost name. He was an inspiration for everyone who ever wanted to do something but was scared of what people might think. To be ordinary is boring. He proved it every single day.Takeaways:Walter Mercado was the direct inspiration behind the Walta astrology brand nameIf he could build a 30 year television career as an astrologer the possibilities for any astrologer are wide openMoon in the sixth house in Virgo carries a connection to purity service and healingHis legacy is not about his sexuality — it is about giving people permission to be exactly who they areTo be different is a gift — to be ordinary is common — that message is as relevant now as it ever wasLinks referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:IamastrologyreadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday
