Astrologer, teacher, and lecturer Kathy Rose joins host Jenn Zahrt to chat books and more! Hop into your proverbial purple chair, and tune in to hear all about: doing astrological research in elementary school; the humanistic approach to star stuff (and a possible resurgence!); why planets don’t “do” things to us; being mindful of the many ways to approach astrology; breaking free from hard-core rules; one-session empowerment; advancing the field with new ideas; unaspected planets; paying attention to the quality of a moment; Frank Clifford’s idea of “Mercury fatigue”; the value of accumulated experience; readings versus consultations; the ethics of telling the future, and the importance of chart synthesis. Plus: past life regression, warm memories and stories of astrologer Noel Tyl, and… how many measurements do you need??

Episode timestamps (conversation recorded June 2024):

00:31 – For more than 40 years Kathy Rose has been a full-time consulting astrologer, lecturer, and teacher with a thriving international practice. She brings an intuitive and therapeutic approach to consultations. A highest-honors graduate of Noel Tyl’s Masters Course, Kathy is frequently published in The Mountain Astrologer and maintains a popular YouTube channel; she also hosts The Maverick Podcast. She frequently lectures for Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research & Enlightenment, ISAR, OPA, NCGR, Astrology University, and Kepler College.

01:04 – Kathy’s first astrology book was Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs. And thanks to Kathy’s third-grade teacher for launching her into astrology (and to her mom for purchasing Goodman’s book for her)!

03:35 – If Kathy could bring only three books to a deserted island, what would she bring? The first would be Synthesis & Counseling in Astrology: The Professional Manual by her mentor and friend Noel Tyl. This tome would offer Kathy tons of reading material! (Also mentioned is The Combination of Stellar Influences by Reinhold Ebertin, with translation by Alfred G. Roosedale.)

14:25 – Interlude: Join CAELi and snag yourself a Saturn stress-relief ball. (Yes, you read that right!)

15:11 – Kathy’s second choice would be The Creative Astrologer: Effective Single Session Counseling by Noel Tyl. Kathy finds this powerful book helpful in guiding consultations.

21:50 – The third title that Kathy would bring is Stephen Arroyo’s Experiments & Experience with Astrology: Reflections on Methods & Meaning. Arroyo’s writing resonates with Kathy! (And a shout-out also goes to Arroyo’s Astrology, Karma & Transformation: The Inner Dimensions of the Birth Chart.)

34:41 – Kathy offers a maverick answer to beginner book recommendations!

37:49 – Find Kathy at her website: https://www.roseastrology.com/! And on social, you can find her: @RoseAstrology on YouTube and Twitter/X; @KathyRose8888 on Instagram; and Kathy Rose on Facebook. And check out the big purple chair in The Maverick Podcast!
