Healing The Spirit: Astrology, Archetypes & Artmaking
Religion & Spirituality:Spirituality
How do we understand relationality through our unique experiences? How might practicing astrology assist us in the art of living in deeper acknowledgement of relationality and reciprocity?
In this conversation with my friend Odette Blooms, who is an astrologer, an artist, and a mystic, we explored the theme of relationality as reflected through our lived experiences, as well as how Odette and I embody that experiential concept within our astrological & artistic practice.
We discussed what it means to practice astrology as an art of connecting with spirit, of healing, and of remembering to give and receive love. We also spoke about the connection between relationality and reciprocity, as well as how these concepts make sense to us as immigrants who live at the intersections of collectivistic and individualistic cultures.
It's a true conversation between two friends - a melding of two Mercurial, rhizomatic minds and two Venusian hearts. It moves at such a sweet, flowing, leisurely pace. To me, this is the tempo and the energy that Odette radiates out from their being: a gift of softening the edges of time through her presence.
Here's Odette's bio:
Odette (she/they) is an astrologer, artist and mystic devoted to beauty and creativity as a path towards deeper embodiment. As a student of the Earth, everything she does comes back to how we can re-member the inherent truth of unconditional love within ourselves, with other beings and with the precious land we live on. Being a first-generation immigrant from Mexico and raised by a single mother, Odette’s life has been anything but normal. As a child of Saturn, she has always been interested in disrupting the status quo and queering up everything she touches. Currently, her offerings include natal chart readings, and soon a women’s monthly circle that offers space to witness one another through the mercurial magic of story-telling. You can connect with and find more about her at odetteblooms.com or @odetteblooms on instagram.
