In episode #4 we answer a wonderful question from a reader: How does Chinese Medicine/ Astrology help a person find their life path/ purpose?

Audrey takes the lead on this one and goes into a system of knowing one’s purpose through understanding the combination of the Heavenly Stems and the Earthly Branches. In other words, looking at how the shen, or consciousness intersects with the physical body and physical circumstances we are born into.

There is also some discussion of how finding balance in the body and mind through this medicine clears the blockages that cloud our connection to our life’s purpose and meaning.

As far as astrology goes there are several important indicators of life path, some more or less familiar, including the ascendant sign and ruling planet, the midheaven, and Saturn.

The second question we tackle is “I am curious if Chinese medicine recommends a particular food regimen and/or a consistent intake of herbs based on my chart.”

This person’s astrology indicated a strong emphasis on the sign of Libra and the planet Venus. so we delved a bit into the importance of balance, harmony, and paying attention to the rhythms of the day and the seasons.

Thanks for reading and listening!
