EP 28: Star Powered With Psychological Astrologer Danielle Beinstein

This week I chat with Danielle Beinstein, a psychological astrologer who combines astrology with archetypes to reveal and reflect different aspects of the human psyche. She believes that astrology offers us “a window into our personal life cycles.” Because astrology is so complex and individualistic that it’s hard to unpack without a specific chart to read from, I asked Danielle to give as much of a high level overview of astrology as possible.

This interview was recorded remotely rather than my preferred in-person experience, so you’ll hear some background noise on the recording. We also start this conversation a bit differently than most episodes. We didn’t have a chance to connect prior to recording, so I spent time at the beginning of the call sharing some background with Danielle about why I started the podcast. This resulted in an interesting conversation about comfort and conditioning as it relates to nature. For example, for those of us who have felt disconnected from nature for a while, or perhaps for our whole lives, the process of connecting with the natural world can feel intimidating or uncomfortable. I think being honest about these feelings helps make them less feel like less of a barrier. I know this has been true for me.

This episode is both for people new to astrology and for those who are familiar with it, but curious about how astrology and psychology connect. Danielle uses archetypes and her intuitive gifts to invite people to bring a sense of agency and consciousness when learning about their innate energy. I think this episode is especially important in this moment when many people I know, myself included, are turning inward and doing deep work. So, without further ado, welcome to my conversation with Danielle Beinstein.
