I'm joined once again by my friend and fellow astrologer, Jess Ellen, to tackle one of the most common questions we receive from students and clients: **Which house…
Jess EllenGuestHollis MMHostNo, and I think too the, um, like, what's interesting is that I think your en- like a person's entry into astrology with- The zodiac, for example, and understanding the planets, it can feel like it's grounded in, um, like archetype, and actually looking at the sky.
