Do you know your sun sign? Maybe you know your moon and rising signs? What about which planets were fighting in the sixth house on the day you were born? This is not a pop quiz, but an invitation to learn more about yourself with a birth chart reading. Why? Because depending on the time of birth, country of birth, and alignment of planets, two people born on the same day could have wildly different charts (although the same sun sign).

In episode 21 of Authentic with Marlowe Lenard, Marlowe welcomes Jim Ventura to the podcast. Jim is an astrologer, spiritual guide, and student of various spiritual practices. He also always knew that he was “a little different” and learned not to discuss his spiritual gifts while growing up in a strict Catholic household. As an adult, Jim would read tarot for friends and was eventually encouraged to charge for sharing his gifts.

If you think you know a Gemini (Marlowe is a Gemini), think again. Because astrology is much more than the sun sign, which Jim describes as the “clothing on top of the other placements.” This fascinating episode might even inspire you to receive your birth chart.

This episode delves into how understanding astrology and numerology will allow you to better under what is happening in your life and the lives of others. Although Marlowe has had a birth chart reading before, she explains how she will continue to enjoy them because the translation is always different, because the speaker is different. Additionally, there are Eastern and Western astrology preferences, as well as Eastern and Western medicine and feng shui practices.
