Recently she surrendered to the path and began pursuing healing as her life's work. She is an intuitive/psychic and uses her abilities to connect with other realms, and bring these energies into healing sessions with clients to facilitate powerful shifts for her clients.

Today we welcome Deb from Queerstrology to give us all the basics of a natal chart! Deb thinks of astrology as a journey and your natal chart, the book. This book shouldn’t have binary or orientation, but so much of astrology does. Deb couldn’t find other astrologers taking the gender and monogamy, purposefully, out of astrology. So she decided to create it herself. That’s how Queerstrology was born. Deb does her own research, design, creation, recording, and editing all the content for Queerstrology. She has read celebrities' natal charts like Margaret Cho and Theo Germaine. As a creator, she learns, and helps to teach others visually. Book your reading with Deb on her Linktree. We chat about all the astrology basics you need to get started.
