In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah is joined by Dr. Michael J. Morris, a queer feminist astrologer, tarot reader, artist, and teacher, for an expansive conversation on astrology as a practice rather than a belief system. Together, they explore relational and feminist astrology, conflict as a site of growth, and what it means to become who we are through what we practice. We hope you’ll find this conversation to be a grounding and thought-provoking exploration of how astrology can support personal and collective transformation, not as something to believe in, but as something to live. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why astrology can be understood as a practice rather than a belief system How “we become what we practice” shapes who we are over time The difference between belief-based thinking and practice-based living How astrology can shift your relationship to time, pacing, and life milestones Why there’s no such thing as being “behind” in your life How astrology invites us into relationship with the more-than-human cosmos Why conflict is necessary, generative, and even vital for growth Practices for staying present with discomfort instead of avoiding it How to structure a creative life through cycles instead of constant productivity Meet Michael: Michael J. Morris is a queer feminist astrologer, tarot reader, dance artist, writer, and educator committed to personal and collective healing and liberation.
