Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 744
Astrologer Debra Silverman joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 744, to reveal how the patterns of sacred geometry and planetary cycles can act as a shortcut to self-awareness, why astrology was silenced by religion, how the four elements unlock your highest potential, what it really means to be an “old soul,” and why true authenticity blooms when you align with your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs.
“You come with an assignment to learn or to do something, and you have to remember it. And that's what astrology's for. You can have a personality type that has problems. You can have a psychology that's really difficult but that's the contract that you signed at the beginning. And the minute you accept what you were handed, it becomes magic.” – Debra Silverman

Power Quotes From The Show
Astrology Is About Pattern Recognition
“Pattern recognition is what astrology is about. The whole system is based on geometry, and sacred geometry is pattern recognition. There are these repetitive patterns that come on and on and on.” – Debra Silverman
Relationships Are The Hardest Lesson
“The hardest lesson on planet Earth according to astrology is relationships: marriage, partnership, friendships, business partners, and commitments. Can we stay loyal? Can we listen to the other? Can we step over our egos? Can we really care about the other? That's 101 why we're here.” – Debra Silverman
We're Entering The Golden Age
“We're at the very end right now of the Age of Forgetting. And we're just entering the Golden Age. But we're in this very thin threshold between worlds where we're going to be done with this old system. You and your children are heralding in an entirely new way of being. In the meantime, the transition is painful because we're so confused.” – Debra Silverman
