S1 E2 : The Blueprint for the Soul
In this episode of The Celestial Scholar, Dr. Lauren Van Gerwen takes a deeper dive into the intricate world of astrology by unpacking the art and structure of birth charts. Moving beyond sun signs and horoscopes, she explores how astrologers use planetary positions, houses, and aspects to create a complex snapshot of a person’s potential and personality.
With her signature blend of curiosity and critical thinking, Dr. Lauren walks listeners through how she interprets these charts — not as scientific fact, but as a fascinating lens through which people seek to understand themselves. It’s a thoughtful journey into how mapping the stars at the moment of birth can reveal just as much about our stories as it does about our skies.
