Then Laurie is joined by astrologers Damien Shelby, Susie, and Shelby for another installment of the Astrologers Roundtable, where they discuss how to prepare for an astrology consultation, how to ask better questions, and how astrology can help you navigate major life transitions with more confidence and clarity.

Finally, Laurie explores Venus in Leo, discussing confidence, self-worth, visibility, creativity, and what it means to stop seeking permission from others and start owning who you are.
