Know Thyself through Astrology and the Enneagram with Beth Kuper

Welcome to a journey where the alignment of stars and planets at the time of our birth etches an invisible roadmap directing our life’s journey. This map can be deciphered through the lens of astrology. In a previous episode with today’s guest, we delved into the Enneagram, a powerful tool for understanding the nine personality types – including their inner drives and their transformative potential.

Today, I’m thrilled to have Beth Kuper back to take us even deeper in the Enneagram and astrology. Beth is a sage in both disciplines, having spent over five decades navigating the celestial realms of astrology and three decades unraveling the human psyche through the Enneagram. She brings to light the intricate ways in which these ancient practices converge, offering a compelling guide for personal discovery and attunement to our greater calling. Beth observes how the Enneagram pinpoints our inherent personality traits, while cycles and transits in the heavens reveal useful details relating to our various life lessons, trials, and opportunities.

Beth elaborates on how, when used together, astrology and the Enneagram offer multidimensional insight on major life changes and achieving our life purpose. By combining the two systems, we gain tools to break free from old limitations and more consciously direct our soul’s journey.
