Anastasia Ryzhkova Podcast

Post a period of being benched by the Universe   I experienced what some would call an existential crisis. In this episode, I get cozy and personal about what happened to me. Then I tried and answer questions that I had, like, what is an existential crisis? Where does the idea of existentialism come from? What else can cause an existential crisis? Then, I explored what could be done to overcome this period. Ultimately, I hope you enjoy it and find it valuable to you. 

What essential began as a dive into theories about how astrology "works" and influences our lives evolved into a realization that astrology works in mysterious ways. What is important is "why" does astrology works. I explore the "why" on this show, along with looking into what is gaslighting, how millennials were parented, the importance of journaling, releasing anger, my job as an astrologer, and why we should stop making the year 2020 the scapegoat to our recent global problems. I love to hear from you regarding anything on this or my previous shows. Have a safe week, and lots of love.
