In the second part of our discussion with Ashley Nguyen, we dive into astrology and explore how it can serve as a tool for self-awareness and empathy. In this segment, Ashley uses Ali's birth information to illustrate a sample birth chart, demonstrating how it can be interpreted to tell a story and build greater compassion and understanding toward ourselves.
