Joined by holistic trauma therapist Sara Jones, we discuss the intertwining of these profound themes, often associated with Vedic Astrology’s 8th and 12th houses.

The episode also delves into the importance of rituals, holistic methods, and how Vedic Astrology can support individuals through these life transitions.
