Are You Intuit?

Since ancient times, humans have looked to the heavens for guidance. Astrology is considered a type of prophecy that involves the forecasting of earthly and human events through the observation and interpretation of the Sun, the Moon, the Stars and the Planets. Astrologists believe that the positions of the Sun, moon, stars and planets at the time of a person’s birth have a direct influence on that person’s character. The alignment is thought to affect a person’s destiny and life. Our guest today is an astrologist and she plans to share her experiences and use my birth chart as an example to inform our audience. Linda Elias Watson is the owner and creator of Soul Guide Astrology. She is a member of the American Federation of Astrologers. She provides readings that offer insight and guidance to better help individuals find their focus and move forward with their spiritual journey. www.soulguidastrology.com Producer: Lillie Leonardi Tech Producer: Chris Sichi Music By: George Skaroulis I Believe!
