Episode timestamps (conversation recorded April 2025):

00:12 – andrea michelle is a professional consulting astrologer supporting clients to map and gently merge the safety structures of their Self-Identity with the deepest desires of their Soul. One of her current areas of focus is experientially re-wilding ourselves through our instinctual wisdom or what she calls our ‘panconsciousness’ – the layers of our Being that root us to Earth and the wisdom of her cycles, processes and reciprocal networks of interwoven relationships of all sentient life. She’s presented for the Sky Astrology Conference, the Cosmic Intelligence Agency, and was also a teacher for Astrology Hub’s Inner Circle in 2022 and 2024. She’s noted for her fresh, empowering work with the feminine asteroids and incorporates the Living Sky into her astrology through heliacal cycles (Planet-Sun cycles), as well as considering the vertical dimensions of planets via latitude and declination.
