Show Notes:
In this episode, Scarlett sits down a dear friend, mentor and sought after  astrologer Rose Theodora for an intimate conversation about the depths of astrology beyond the typical sun sign horoscopes. Rose shares her journey into astrology from age eight. Her journey began with skepticism—questioning why her Cancer sun sign didn't resonate—sparking a lifelong devotion to the study of astrology since childhood.

She specializes in helping clients understand their birth charts, relationship compatibility, and offers chart rectifications for those who don't know their exact birth time. Rose’s technique of astrology was birthed from the acknowledgment that we are interconnected to nature; it’s through reconnecting to our essence that we feel whole and able to step into the unknown with clarity and confidence. Her diverse background makes her a sought-after teacher, advisor, and in-demand astrological counselor. 

Topics Covered:

Getting Started with Astrology

• Why your sun sign is just the beginning (you share it with 6 million other people!)
• The "top three" to know: Sun, Moon, and Rising signs
• Why Mercury (communication style) might be more revealing than you think

Mercury: The Communication Planet

• How to spot someone's Mercury sign in conversation
• Fire, Earth, Air, and Water Mercury traits
• Why understanding communication styles can transform your relationships

Relationship Compatibility

• Moving beyond "are we compatible?" to "why are we together?"
• Venus signs and love languages
• Moon signs and emotional needs
• The importance of knowing yourself first

Mars in the Bedroom

• How Mars signs reveal your intimate motivations
• A real-world example: Mars in Leo vs. Mars in Pisces
• Breaking free from cultural expectations about intimacy

Key Takeaway: Astrology isn't about labels or limitations—it's a tool for self-awareness, compassion, and understanding the unique needs we all bring to our relationships.

Duration: ~71 minutes

With over a decade of Astrological Counseling experience and a background in NLP (Neurolinguistic programming–a system of alternative therapy intended to bring awareness of communication and sensory perceptions to change emotional patterns and mental behaviors–outcome.), Neuroscience (biopsychology–how the brain influences our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings.), Neuroaesthetics (the marriage of neuroscience and aesthetics and its effect on how the brain perceives and processes art, beauty, film, music, and other aesthetic experiences) Color Therapy (utilizing color as a passive way to change your mental and emotional state.) and Meditation.

“My greatest joy is to share my love of astrology with others, to inspire and awaken one to their inner wisdom and creative intelligence–to remind them that we are always in divine co-creation with the universe, are powerful beyond measure, and capable of birthing our rich inner joyous world into physical manifestation.”

Best known for My Octopus Teacher, Pippa shares her journey from the depths of South Africa’s kelp forests to the heights of global recognition — revealing how nature has shaped her artistry, her inner world, and prayer throughout the creative process. 

In this episode, dive into stories of breathtaking encounters with sharks and manta rays, the courage it takes to leap into the unknown, and the quiet wisdom that nature offers when we slow down and pay attention. Pippa opens up about overcoming fear, navigating imposter syndrome, and how the ocean became her greatest teacher.

“So just do the maths on that. We've lived outside in nature for a very,  very short part of our evolutionary history. So it's weird for our bodies, right? Our bodies are expecting to be surrounded by animals, to be exposed to heat, to be exposed to cold, to feel the wind on our faces, to read the weather. These things should be important to us to read the seasons. So I think it's very strange as humans, we are kind of insulating ourselves and our senses are blocked from something that they were designed by evolution to experience.”

• The transformative power of connecting with nature and the ocean
• Overcoming fear and taking leaps of faith in life and creativity
• Behind-the-scenes stories from “My Octopus Teacher” and wildlife filmmaking
• Deep connection to nature and the ocean: personal stories and transformative experiences
• Memorable encounters with wild animals—sharks, manta rays, and more
• How nature fuels creativity, healing, and personal growth
• The power of storytelling to inspire change
• Navigating imposter syndrome, burnout, and finding purpose after success
• Practices for well-being: daily immersion in water, sauna, prayer, and ritual
