Summary

It was such a pleasure to talk to yoga teacher and astrologer Susannah Freedman for this very special episode. Susannah has been teaching yoga and doing astrology readings since 2010 and has a Masters in Philosophy and Religion, but both her yoga and astrology journeys started during her self-described "hippie childhood." In this interview, Susannah explains how she sees someone's chart as their "karmic blueprint." Unlike some who approach astrology from a prescriptive point of view, Susannah see the chart as a way to help validate or reveal our innate strengths and weakness (or samskaras) so that we can then work through them in this lifetime. The connection she makes between astrology and yoga really made sense to me! And it was so much fun to talk about. Susannah also describes how she combines yoga and astrology in her AstroFlow workshops, she offers her thoughts on seeing the state of the world via the current transits, and she debunks common myths about astrology.

0:08.0	I am so happy that you have been enjoying the past few podcasts. I feel honestly like the guests that I'm
0:15.0	getting lately are just really doing it for me. I'm feeling really passionate
0:19.9	about it all and it's always nice to hear from you that you feel the same way and
0:24.4	this is adding something to your life and if you feel that way and you have not
0:29.2	left an iTunes review yet you could and it will make you feel so good for the rest of the day.
0:35.6	Not only would be like I love Yogoland podcast but you also be like and I did my good deed
0:40.0	for the day by supporting it. Gosh, there I go. Marketing myself. Okay, so today's guest is

1:25.8	suffer less using yoga principles to live a more peaceful life. So she's a really fascinating person and I told her recently that I wanted to know more about astrology through her because it's never been something that's really fully resonated with me, but I find her to be so thoughtful and interesting that I
1:44.8	thought it would be cool to hear her perspective and as she talks about in the
1:49.7	podcast she says you know she sees astrology as just another tool for understanding yourself and your innate strengths and then sort of like your some scars the things that you come into the world with to work on and then she also sees it as a
2:04.5	karmic blueprint for your life. So that's what we talk about today and oh one more
2:11.1	thing Susanna and some other San Francisco teachers, Danny Pomploon, Stephanie Snyder, Janet
