“Drums circles are really on the rise. It is because we need it and we're doing it now for different reasons. We're not performing. We're not trying to become good drummers. We get it. It's stress reduction. It's bonding. It's beyond words. It turns off our brains. All of that is the why.”– Christine Stevens

Host Angie Swartz kicks off Season 2 of the Life Purpose Advisor Podcast and shares what's coming in 2016.
In this special edition of the Life Purpose Advisor Podcast, Molly Morrissey conducts a traditional astrology reading for Angie Swartz. The reading illustrates how astrology can be a useful tool for helping you understand yourself better and provide hints at your life purpose. Hear from Angie Swartz' experience what an astrology reading can be like and see for yourself if this is something that might be helpful to you.
Molly covers the four temperaments (water, fire, earth and air) as well as specifics directly related to Angie. This is an actual session so some of the references you hear may seem foreign. However, you can listen for the key points that are relevant to life management.
Molly has taken Angie's birth date, time of birth, location of birth used them to analyze Angie , her innate patterns, and where she is in her development. Angie had not seen or heard this information before this recording.
In episode 53, the November 2nd show, Molly was interviewed about her life, her journey, her work and her life purpose. You can listen to episode 53 at www.lifepurposeadvisor.com/53
The following description of Astrology is an excerpt taken directly from Molly Morrissey's website:
Natal astrology is the second level of complexity in traditional astrology (the primary level being horary astrology). Natal astrology is the study of a person’s birth chart.
The birth chart will describe the personality characteristics and the events that can be seen or measured in the life.
With regard to the personality, we can see the general temperament (the sort of person you are – emotional, rational, action-oriented or contemplative) using the 4 Element system of traditional astrology, and more in particularly, we can see the specific internal complexities and contradictions laid out with elegant clarity. For example, we can see that you emotional response might often be at odds with your reason. Or that you hold onto your temper and then you outburst with family. Or that you have a hard time expressing emotion at all.
While we can describe the specifics of your exhibited personality and see the internal complexities and internal conflicts, we can also see the hints of your divine essence – the soul level part of you that informs everything you feel, do, and experience.
So – we can describe aspects of a person’s essence as it informs our physical reality. To say with any certainty that we can get at the truly unknowable parts of life is beyond the ego or claims of this astrologer, for sure! What we can know, we are happy to have – and the rest is for the realm of faith.*
Technically speaking, a birth (or natal) chart is a picture of where the planets in our solar system were in relation to the horizon at the moment a person takes its first breath. For example, if a person is born in the morning, the Sun will be over on the left side of the chart, near the horizon – depending on the exact time. At midday, the Sun is at the top of the chart, etc. If a person is born near a New Moon, the Sun and Moon are together in the chart.
The season in which the person was born (the phase of the Sun) and the phase of the Moon are extremely important in traditional astrology – these two crucial bits of information are all but ignored by the modern astrologers, making up one major difference among many between the two types of astrology.
A natal consultation focuses on the birth chart, but then also considers many charts, all derived from the birth chart, to understand a particular event, moment, pattern, personality characteristic or behavior in the person’s life.
The complexity is increased in that now the astrologer is using the same concepts as horary but doing lots more work to understand patterns as they unfold over the arc of a whole lifetime. The astrologer is, at this point, also starting to consider the fixed stars (the constellations) in addition to the planets in our solar system (the wandering stars), as well as considering eclipse charts and more. Natal astrology is all about understanding the person and the events lived during one lifetime.

"There's a poem by William Stafford called 'The Way It Is' that begins,
'There’s a thread you follow. It goes amongthings that change. But it doesn’t change.People wonder about what you are pursuing.You have to explain about the thread.But it is hard for others to see.While you hold it you can’t get lost.'
There is a thread, a narrative thread, that we're holding in ours lives. If we hold on to that thread, sometimes the story shatters, terrible things happen, surprises happen and we have to surrender to them. But as long as you hold to this thread, you're going to be okay."
