I’m excited for you to connect with Ellie Cleary today—an amazing intuitive astrologer, embodiment priestess, and coach who lives half the time in England, and half the time in India.

We delve into the connection between snake and astrology—specifically, astro-cartology— which is a type of astrology that looks at geographical places connected to your birth chart.

This leads us into a discussion around movement, around travel—and Ellie shares how we must leave home to find out who we are. There’s a quest, a rite of passage.

And yet, we can look across our globe and see the complications that have arisen from this quest, too. Those of us of European descent have ancestors who left home—sometimes in a call to find themselves, sometimes to escape the oppression they faced—only to recapitulate patterns of dominance and oppression in other lands and to other people.

Ellie talks vulnerably about being half English and how she feels the time has come where there’s a “reaping of karma” from being the “industrialized colonizers” that “repressed, annihilated, and destroyed so many indigenous cultures” and how the lands she comes from are crying out about this—as the UK is one of the most biodiverse poor countries in the world.

We discuss how out of integrity many of our ancestors were. But that snake can show us how to come back into integrity and travel/journey/move—without losing our soul and without exoticizing other cultures, so we don’t perpetuate internalized separation from what’s been repressed within ourselves.

Ellie also touches on how patriarchal Christianity robbed the islands in the UK of the Goddess—so there was this search from many to travel out to seek even spirituality—despite the richness that is native to those lands, too. But it must be reclaimed so as not to cause harm, to take, to oppress, to colonize.

In this rich conversation, we also move to how snake is a protectress and the dreams Ellie had to warn her when in an abusive marriage.

Be sure to delve into this heartfelt, deeply important conversation.
