Hello and welcome! In this interview, I am so excited to be interviewing the amazing Natalie Walstein of Soulshine Astrology. We're talking all about Natalie's journey, and how you can use Astrology to find your soul's calling, just like she did.    Ashley: Natalie, thank you so much for being here with me. Natalie Walstein: Thank you so much for having me. Ashley: I've been following you for quite a while now, and I just love everything you're doing. For those who may not be familiar with your work, would you mind telling our listeners a little bit about yourself and how you got started working in Astrology? Natalie: I'm a Career Astrologer at Soulshine Astrology. Basically, what I do is combine career coaching with astrological wisdom, which I get from your Astrology chart. This is basically a map of where the stars were at the exact time, date and location of your birth. I got started with this from looking at my own Astrology chart. At one point I literally had no idea what to do with my career anymore. I just didn't know what to do. I remembered that Astrology was really cool, because I've always been a bit into it. So I decided to look into it again, and this time I dove in really deep. I found it so fascinating and it ended up showing me where I was going wrong in my career, and how to shift into something more suited to me. I realized that I could help other people do the same thing. That's really where it all started. Ashley: I love that. Really, it was your own love and passion of Astrology that got you here. Turning to Astrology as a tool to help you in your own life is what inspired you to actually pick it up and work with it as a way to inspire others. Natalie: Exactly! That's why I love it so much.     I think so many great people's careers start that way. It's like, "I created the thing I needed." Ashley: That is so true. Natalie, a lot of our listeners are obviously super into crystals. They're healers, they're lightworkers, they're empaths, and they are people who follow a path of service. I'm sure for many of you who are listening right now, you're maybe in a place in your life where you're where Natalie was. You're trying to figure out, "What am I here to do? What am I supposed to be doing?" Maybe you're trying to find your life's purpose. Natalie, a big part what you do is use Astrology to show someone what a really good fit would be for a career or for a life path, so... How does Astrology really factor into someone finding and living their life's purpose? Natalie: Most people usually think of Astrology as just being about horoscopes. I used to think that too, but it turns out there is so much more to it than that. I'm actually sometimes really caught off-guard by how much information you can get about it. It literally explains everything about you. There's no wonder why I can tell you about your life's purpose. I really feel that the purpose of Astrology, in my eyes, is to find your life purpose because it really helps you tap into who you really are, what you really want, what makes you happy and also how you can harness all this in the best possible way, and in your own special way. Instead of, for example, just looking around and applying for jobs. It really gives you this feeling of "No! This is what I need." You can either create it for yourself or you can go out into the world and say no to everything that isn't in alignment with you, which is so empowering. Ashley: I love that so much. We were actually just doing our little mini-class for our upcoming Crystal Mastery Conference. You're going to teach people all about looking at Astrology and recommending some crystals that might be really helpful for them while they're pursuing their life path or their soul path. I was wondering if you would mind just teasing this, maybe using your own Astrology? What some of your favorite crystals to use while pursuing your life path? Could you give us an example?
