Getting Astro-Fabulous with Nadiya Shah
I was on Nadiya Shah’s YouTube channel to speak about Queer Astrology.
Behind the scenes Nadiya is amazingly sweet. I was so excited to get this opportunity to work with her after attending her book launch for “The Body and the Cosmos”, a book I still use regularly. We did a grounding meditation to center ourselves, and it was so beautiful. Nadiya mentioned that she first went to school for social justice, but changed her path to philosophy, and became the astrologer we know and love today.
There was a moment in the recording where some BADASS KIDS outside were banging on the door to my apartment and trying to get in (they confused it for the apartment next door). Oops.
Can I just tell you WHY I love her so much? Nadiya brings life, kindness, and candor to an astrology world that is often stuffy. Her aesthetic is culturally relevant to her practice, it's sparkly, it's femme, it's loud, it's living. Her generosity guides her towards more opportunities. I love this approach to expression. I definitely look toward to meeting the Nadiya Shahs of the astrology world to figure out my own path when it comes to my practice.
Also big shout out to Mr. Quan Tracy Cherry for bringing his expertise, I love hearing him talk about the Venus Star Point, and Daniel Bernal from Divine Orbit Astrology. His podcast, Queer Skies, is a treasure! I loved speaking alongside these talented astrologers and had a great time.
