Summary

Many of us grew up flipping to the horoscope section in magazines or waited for that weekly hit with celebrity astrologer Walter Mercado—or maybe you have a full-blown astrology practice and plan your days according to the way the stars and planets are aligned. Whatever your feelings on astrology are, it is by no means new, and it’s experiencing a renaissance—especially among Latinos and Latinas.

Today on Latino USA, we sit down with Isa Nakazawa, the host of Futuro Studios new show, Stars and Stars with Isa. Isa shows us how we are in charge of our own lives and destinies and how we can use astrology to enhance and understand ourselves more than ever in this changing world. She also prepared a surprise for our host Maria Hinojosa—a short reading of her birth chart.
