Episode timestamps (conversation recorded July 2023):
00:01 – Learn about producer Jen Braun at her site: https://www.jenbraun.com/.
01:31 – Dr. Stormie Grace is an evolutionary and humanistic astrologer – coming from the Steven Forrest and Noel Tyl lines – who specializes in helping people make sense of the complexities of their lives. Through astrology, Stormie provides insight into your personality, life path, and soul’s purpose. Her mission is to help you gain clarity and understanding about the energies around you, so you can make decisions that are empowered, informed, and strategically aligned with your highest potential. Stormie’s Doctorate in Management also helps her consult for business organizations in ways which match the traditional business environment while providing energetic and spiritual pairing components. Her business school, LEGATIA ACADEMY, helps creative entrepreneurs build and grow profitable businesses, so they have the freedom to truly enjoy their work. From her popular YouTube channel, to personalized consultations, courses, and workshops, Stormie is here to help.
02:22 – We start with an awakening: One of Stormie’s first connections to astrology happened while she read the horoscopes in the back of Teen magazine back in the day! And during her first Saturn square, the astrology available at a metaphysical fair felt like… a remembering.
05:50 – The first astrology book that Stormie read was by Jan Spiller and was a homecoming of sorts. All of Jan’s books speak to her, but tune in for this fascinating conversation about Jan’s Astrology for the Soul, which explains the driving forces of the Lunar Nodes. Great example using the Cancer North Node (and Capricorn South Node, natch) included!!
15:30 – Interlude: Join CAELi and snag yourself a Saturn stress-relief ball. (Yes, you read that right!)
16:16 – There was only one astrology book that made it into Stormie’s carry-on while moving to Spain, and it’s her first pick: Finding Our Way Through the Dark by Demetra George. This one speaks to Stormie about how the shape of light that you reflect shows up in the world. It also prods us to be comfortable in talking about death; we are of nature, after all. (And tune in for a profoundly thoughtful convo about the secondary progressed New Moon! #ImNotCryingYoureCrying)
27:06 – Kindles count! Stormie’s next selection is The Book of the Moon: Discovering Astrology’s Lost Dimension by Steven Forrest, because it helps us tune in to the motivations and safety features that folks need. Love the concrete Lunar-Land examples, quiche and all!
32:27 – Finally, one more choice from astro-wizard Steven Forrest: The Inner Sky: How to Make Wiser Choices for a More Fulfilling Life. Stormie finds meaning in Evolutionary Astrology, and she loves the way Steven breaks down how to do the work.
33:22 – Where would Stormie point a new astrology student? First, start where it’s free! There are lots of helpful podcasts and YouTube videos available, so do some exploration. But in terms of books, Stormie recommends The Inner Sky or Astrology for Dummies – both of which would increase the astrological literacy of the public.
36:29 – Thanks for listening to Within Orb! If you love the show, please help support it at no cost to you: Follow or subscribe wherever you listen, rate it five stars, or write a happy review!
