In this episode, I talk with astrologer and writer Diana Rose about how astrology can be a compassionate tool for self-understanding, healing, and deconditioning from cultural “shoulds.” We explore the power of relational healing, village life, mystical childhoods, and how Diana’s devotionally-oriented animism shapes the way she practices and lives astrology.

In this episode, I talk with Diana Rose about what it means to truly human. We start with a beautiful story she shares about choosing connection instead of isolation while navigating complex grief, and how that reflects the deeper healing work she’s done—work that’s allowed her to stay in relationship, even when things are hard. We also talk about the dream of village life and what it means to be supported by a web of people who are in mutual care with one another. Diana shares how her spiritual worldview formed outside of formal tradition, what led her to astrology, and how she uses it as a tool to help people release internalized “shoulds” and understand their own nature with more compassion.
