Healing From Separation & Hate with Aaron Rose

This episode features an interview with diversity & inclusion expert Aaron Rose and gets deep into the weeds of our collective healing process around divisiveness and hate – the root of which, Aaron argues, lies in the of pain of separation and resulting fear of “otherness.”

Something of a “millennial Marianne Williamson,” Aaron’s work focusses largely on explaining how this pain / fear manifests in our reality as political scaremongering, media stereotyping, institutionalized racism, and exploitative capitalism - and that, in seeking to address any of the above, we must first look at how these systems have taken hold and become embedded within ourselves.

In this episode, Aaron and Ruby also discuss (among other extremely important topics!):

-Aaron’s own journey as a queer person healing from the conditioning of the Catholic Church

-Identity and embodiment through the lens of quantum physics

-Why amends-making is an essential part of our collective healing, and how to do it

-Why we are the “generational clean-up crew” tasked with undoing the wrongs of our ancestors

-Why in the Now Age it is vital that we bring our spirituality to our politics

-How to use your voice for the highest good of all

Bringing Diversity to Astrology with Adama Sesay

When Adama Sesay of Lilith Astrology reached out about contributing to The Numinous, she also posed a question: why is mainstream astrology so white? Meaning, why do the biggest media outlets feature so few readers of color? Which is a really good and important question! Our ensuing conversation about this led to this post on the site—and formed the basis for the discussion in this episode.

Adama shares her own story of building her practice as a black woman, as well as the positive implications and healing opportunity in bringing more diversity to the modern astrology space. In this episode we also discuss:

-Astrology as a tool of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth

-Gender fluidity in the astrological archetypes

-The importance of diversity in the spiritual wellness space in general

-The role of the Pluto in Scorpio generation (born Nov 1983—Nov 1995) in transforming outdated paradigms

-The Lilith archetype, and why it is so relevant in the post #metoo era
