Most people are familiar with some basic principles of astrology, but our today’s conversation will take us deeper in this unique world.
My personal interest in astrology began when I learned about the connection between plants and planets. I spent an entire year learning from an herbalist and astrologer and plan to tell you a lot more about my journey in a little while.
For the longest time I felt strange sharing with my traditionally minded colleagues that I know how to interpret birth charts. But with time, I began to actively embrace this knowledge and started to share it with my students. This interview is another step in this direction.
My today’s guest is M. Kelley Hunter, PhD. Kelley is an internationally known Depth Astrologer and Astro-Mythologist, who weaves perspectives from archetypal psychology, cosmology, and consciousness studies into her approach.
For the last five decades she has been studying the language of the stars exploring many insights on her own pathway to self-discovery.
The heart of her work are consultations with people interested in seeking deeper self-awareness and understanding of their life experiences. Kelley helps to explore the “cosmic blueprint” of their birth chart offering guidance.
Kelley has a special interest in the divine feminine. She is the author of Living Lilith: Four Dimensions of the Cosmic Feminine and Black Moon Lilith, as well as a contributing writer to the anthology, Goddesses in World Culture.
She has also been a featured writer for The International Astrologer, The Mountain Astrologer and other professional journals. Kelley has been a speaker at astrology conferences in the U.S. and abroad, including the major international United Astrology Congress. She has served on the Board of the International Society for Astrological Research and has been a guest speaker for a range of psychology, spiritual and holistic organizations.
By the end of this episode, you’ll learn about depth astrology and hopefully will become more curious about the ancient field of study.

Recently I had a privilege of interviewing the company’s COO Jennifer Gerrity. During our conversation Jennifer highlighted three important areas in company’s everyday efforts:
- their commitment to quality (through buying certified organic or pesticide-free plants that have been sustainably harvested),
- their motivation to source responsibly from the best farmers and wild-harvesters, creating partnerships that last for decades and nurture the communities of growers and herbalists, and
- their ability to offer an incredible variety of products from herbs and spices to culinary oils, bath and body care products, essential oils and so much more.
