Happy New Year, my dear listeners and welcome to the Beehive Household New Year Special! For those who are wondering what is in the stars for 2021, I’m super excited to introduce my guest today – she is one of the most successful and highly regarded media astrologers in the world – Shelley Von Strunckel!

Shelley is a California-born sun sign astrologer and is best known to the public for her newspaper and magazine columns. In 1992 she created the first-ever astrological column in the UK Sunday Times newspaper. She’s also written columns for Hong Kong's South China Morning Post, the Gulf News, English Vogue, French and Chinese Vogue and the Times of India. Her daily horoscope column runs in the Evening Standard and loved by many here in the UK, and she is a popular guest on radio and television.

The start of Shelley’s career was in the fashion business where she worked as an assistant buyer, studying the psychology of dress and the history of costume at the same time, as in her own words ‘she’s always been interested in what makes people tick’. And astrology was part of this extensive study. And it developed from a subject of curiosity into a successful career, particularly when she was discovered by a renowned astrologer, Patrick Walker, and became his heir for the London Evening Standard column.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• With astrology, many think it’s about a fixed destiny but now in today’s world prediction is something different.
• I talk to clients about what makes them tick. It’s about being self-aware and strategic.
• Everyone has blind spots and I help people to see those areas.
• I’m fascinated by what drives trends, which are driven by what people perceive as true.
• Meditation is a single state but there are many different ways to achieve that state.
• Those who meditate have an improved immune system and are calmer.
• We have lived in a world that has so little inner reference people don’t understand because we haven’t been taught how to regard our inner world.
• The way the world is perceived is in cycles, slowly the world is changing and people are more open to things.
• Worth comes from inside but many people don’t know how to develop it and It hasn’t been treated as an objective in life or education.
• The way the world is at the moment is an opportunity for re-evaluation of values.
• The meaning of network now is about close connections and friendships.
