On this episode of The Heal and Harm Show, I chat with Moses Siregar, an astrologer and astrocartographer who works with both Western and Vedic astrology.
We chat about the sacred responsibility of being high-stakes spiritual advisors to our clients (whether that’s within the scope of astrology or tarot), when newbies should teach and give readings (and to who), and what can go wrong when people in these spiritual advising industries gives incomplete or uninformed advice. We discuss the balance between learning and teaching, learning as much as we can and doing the best to help our clients and those who come to us for guidance, and taking very seriously the work that we are here to do, whether that is in astrology, tarot, or another aspect of the spirituality and wellness space.
We also get a little bit spicy and chat about accreditation in the spiritual industries, spiritual MLMs, and turtle vs hare business models - being a flash in the pan and making a ton of money, or living the mantra ‘slow and steady wins the race.’ A lot of creators online learned about astrology (or tarot!) five minutes ago, and many creators don’t know what they don’t know, which then creates ripples, many of them not always good.
