  • The Starry Vault of Heaven: A Conversation About Intuitive Astrology with Liz Gunn

    “The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection…” ~Carl Jung

    In this episode, Adina chats with Intuitive Astrologer Liz Gunn. Liz offers a profound perspective on astrology that's informed by years dedicated study and lived experience. This conversation pushes past a general description of astrology and steps into its uses for deep soul healing, which includes:

    • The point and purpose for engaging with astrology (it's NOT to predict outcomes)
    • Why it doesn't make sense to say you "don't believe" in astrology
    • The connection between astrology and the nervous system
    • The value of trusting your intuition
    • ...and more!

    About Liz:
    Liz has lived in a deep relationship with the planetary beings for over 35 years through a visceral experience of direct guidance as a daily practice. This commitment to psycho-spiritual development as it relates to consciousness, and the impulse of the soul to know itself through evolving experience, is the backdrop to Liz's calling as a professional consulting Intuitive Astrologer. She has facilitated thousands of readings in the last 25 years and as a result, leans in to each session with a level of mastery that hears the nuance of the soul's voice through all time. This Great Work is embedded in her own personal work and inner healing and reflects a compassionate, direct and revolutionary quality of insight to guide her clients towards higher states of awareness. As a Taurus Sun, Sag Moon and Cancer Rising, Liz offers practical wisdom in a nurturing safe environment where you are seen, heard and held with tremendous love for the Truth of who you are.

  • Well What Do You Know?

    Welcome to season 4 of Blue Hour!

    In this episode, Adina encourages listeners to see conflict as a source of growth. She shares what she's learned about herself by being curious about conflict in her own life. She also explores how we all have gaps in understanding due to not ever being taught certain things and what you can do about that.

    Consider the following questions to be curious about what you don't know:

    • What situations cause you to feel uncomfortable or unable to handle? What is it about those situations that feel hard? How does this relate to guidance you received (or didn’t receive) as a kid?
    • Reflect on your closest relationships throughout your life. What themes or trends can you identify? What does this reveal about your personal behavioral or emotional patterns?
    • What aspects of yourself make you cringe? If you step out of that feeling and into the perspective of a compassionate observer, what does the part of you that behaves in a cringy way need to know or learn?

  • Two to One

    Do you have a tendency to be productive, assertive or aggressive? Or do you prefer to go with the flow, surrender or rest? The ideal scenario is to move through these energies appropriately and with ease, but most of us get stuck in some way or express certain energies in a toxic manner.

    In this episode, Adina discusses the importance of striking balance between seemingly opposing energies. She offers: 

    • An explanation of Yin/Yang forces
    • An interpretation of The Lovers tarot card
    • A simplified overview of Jungian archetypes Anima and Animus
    • Some suggestions for how to bring yourself into better balance
