Show Notes:

In this episode, Angie sits down with astrologer, teacher, and former psychotherapist Lori Barnes to explore an unexpected but deeply insightful lens for healing: psychological astrology.

Lori shares her powerful story of being adopted, growing up with unrecognized emotional disturbances, and eventually discovering that astrology helped her understand herself in ways traditional therapy never fully could. Lori blends astrology and psychology to help people understand the complex layers of who they are — beneath conditioning, expectations, and early-life experiences.

Together, Angie and Lori explore:

💫 What “real” astrology actually is
💫 How astrology can reveal parts of the self that trauma may have fragmented or hidden
💫 Lori’s adoption journey
💫 Why astrology and psychology work beautifully together
💫 The role of body-based awareness in trauma healing
💫 How understanding your chart can bring compassion and clarity
💫 The freedom that comes from finally understanding who you really are
Lori also shares her personal story of healing relationships with her adoptive family once she finally understood her own wiring, and how astrology helped her do it.
