Is it possible that the movement of the planets can predict what lies ahead? How influenced are we by the moon and its phases? According to world-renowned astrologer Susan Miller, the celestial bodies can affect many different aspects of our lives including our relationships, our health, our legal contracts, and so much more. Today Susan discusses the year ahead and how several major planets are moving into different astrological signs, signaling new ideas and broadening our horizons. Susan is the founder of the wildly successful website “Astrology Zone,” where she receives upwards of 13 million unique visitors per month. Her mother was a gifted astrologer and due to numerous health challenges as she was growing up, including being bedridden for months at a time, Susan had the opportunity to intently study astrology and the science behind it. She talks about the particular planetary alignment at the beginning of the pandemic and how it foretold great changes ahead. Major planets were in Earth signs during the Industrial Revolution and now these planets are moving into Air signs, which means we could see vast technological advances happening very quickly. Susan also goes through each astrological sign, step-by-step, and reveals what lies ahead for each one. She also discusses the meaning of “retrogrades” and how these are times of reflection and not ideal for signing contracts or making major decisions, if at all possible. Susan continues her work as an author, international columnist, entrepreneur, and publisher. She is the author of 12 astrology books, as well as the popular “The Year Ahead” astrology calendars. She has apps in which to read your daily horoscope as well as very extensive monthly horoscopes. Info: AstrologyZone.com

Are we as humans naturally wired to look for deeper meaning in our lives? Are we innately drawn toward a more spiritual realm? Whether it be a walk in the woods, or through mediation or prayer, our guest today, Dr. Lisa Miller, believes that we are naturally able to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around us. We are able to cultivate circuits in our brains which help us to become more spiritually aware. By developing this awareness, we can begin to free ourselves from depression, anxiety, loss of creativity, and so much more. We can consider things from a more awakened, more elevated perspective. Dr Miller believes when we feel depressed, this is an alert asking us for deeper spiritual exploration.

She has been with the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical School for more than a decade.
