In episode 279, astrologer Michael J. Morris joins the show to talk about using astrology in the context of transgender people’s lives.
We spend the first part of the episode talking about some of the basics that astrologers need to know in terms of cultural competency. to perform well in consultations with transgender clients
In the second half of the episode, we get into a more technical discussion of how different birth chart placements can manifest in the lives of transgender people, eventually going through each of the twelve houses and talking about the different possible manifestations.
We’ve also tried to frame the discussion using a few example charts from prominent transgender public figures.
