Loud Passions with Suzannah Galland

I'm excited to introduce my guest today, who is a highly celebrated, accomplished astrologer making an impact. She's a stargazer with a heart of gold and a stardust soul. When you meet her for a reading, you leave feeling energized, like a rockstar. Like someone just honed in on the deepest part of your life.

With the wisdom of forecast, she can interpret a clear direction for love, life, and career. Along with her busy practice in the United Kingdom, her blog, The Oxford Astrologer is one of the most highly regarded blogs on the internet. Her readings are a mix of the timeless tradition of western astrology and a modern understanding of the human psyche.

Her latest blog post sites: "Love to be lost in love, to float in the sea of love, to feel the divine love. These also may be available to you. Stay alive in this moment now and set your imagination free. Next year maybe special."

I'm excited to get a chance to explore the relationship between the divine feminine and the universal harmony in our solar system.
