In this episode, Kira is joined by Sasha Ravitch to discuss her pioneering framework for identifying ancestral blessings and curses in the birth chart. Sasha shares how this framework came to be, how her role as a witch enables her to scry the natal chart for more information, and why she considers the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 12th houses to be "haunted." Sasha reveals what kinds of blessings and curses can be found in these houses and what kinds of ancestral trauma placements in these houses often contend with. It's a wandering foray into a subject that is oftentimes hard to discuss in astrology and provides a different lens through which to engage with the chart.
