Vivid Conversations is a weekly podcast for women at midlife hosted by Bronwyn Simons and Annagrace Kaye of Vivid: The New Menopause. This week is a rebroadcast of Bronwyn’s 2014 interview with wise, witty, and wonderful astrologer Anne Ortelee. We talk about the practical and the esoteric in astrology, working deeply with the moon cycles, creating personal ritual, how to keep a moon journal, the characters of each of the planets, and what Anne means when she says “If it’s in your heart, it’s in your chart!”
{A couple of things to note before you listen: this interview was recorded in late August 2014, and this is reflected in some of Anne’s references to upcoming astrological events. Also, 2014 was before I invested in some nice sound equipment, so the sound quality of the actual interview is pretty good but has a few glitchy moments
