Erin Tack Shipley is a liberation-centered astrologer. She works to help you see yourself clearly and affirm your purpose, without burning out or abusing wellness tools.

For over 3 years Erin has provided astrological guidance to socially-conscious individuals through 1:1 counseling, written content, and live workshops. Over the last decade she has worked as an advocate, educator and capacity-builder within multiple intersectional feminist organizations, learning first-hand the challenges that pervade social justice environments. Erin writes about the intersection of wellness and justice because she understands how vital the relationship between them is for liberation - and how often that relationship turns toxic. Most of her clients are bad-ass activists navigating burnout or compassionate healers who are seeking to be more mindful of their capacity to do harm. Erin believes that people who work in justice should have solid support and that wellness leaders should conduct their work with conscious integrity. She understands that being well and being free are inherently linked - and we need both to belong and affect change for a better world.

Erin lives and works on unceded and occupied Native Karkin-Ohlone and Chochenyo Land (also known as Oakland, California). Her work is deeply influenced by her peers and colleagues as well as living healers, educators and activists such as Bayo Akomolafe, adrienne marie brown, Eryn Wise, Rachael Rice, Toi Smith, Carmen Spagnola, Jen Lemen, Joanna Macy, Donna Haraway and Layli Maparyan.

Native Land App can be downloaded on the apple and android stores I believe or accessed via this website: https://native-land.ca

Sogorea Te’ Land Trust is the Urban Indigenous Women-led organization in the Bay Area that I recommend anyone check out. I also suggest people look for Indigenous-led groups and organizations wherever they live.

Gray Crawford is an Astrologer from Olympia Washington. Gray joined the pod to discuss the planetary nodes. The discussion began with the nodes of the Moon and explored the nodes of outer planets incorporating them with the Pluto-Jupiter-Saturn transits so many have linked to the times we're all living through. Specifically, Gray looked at how the South nodes of Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn are piled up in Capricorn and how events of the day reflect earlier transits through the bendings of those same planetary nodes.
