The dusty streets of India pulse with life—horns blaring, colors swirling, ancient temples casting long shadows at dusk. Somewhere in that endless river of humanity, a traveler pauses—not for souvenirs, but for the truth behind existence. After decades of reading the stars and decoding the mysteries of personality, Indra Rinsler has learned that sometimes the answers we seek are everywhere and nowhere, hidden in plain sight, waiting for us to wake up.Scott Allan welcomes world traveler and Vedic astrologer Indra Rinsler for a deep dive into the ancient systems that map our souls’ journeys. From the chaos (and beauty) of India to the subtle patterns of the cosmos, Indra shares how astrology and the Enneagram can help us understand ourselves—and each other—on a profound level. Along the way, they explore the “four doorways” to conscious living, the meaning of the wheel of totality, and why acceptance (and a little humor) might just be the secret of life. Indra even offers free resources for listeners ready to start their own journey of self-discovery.
