Ep 54: What if your birth chart holds clues about your ancestors, your family patterns, and even the roles you’re here to play in this lifetime?

In this episode, I’m joined by Melanie Marisol, an ancestral astrologer who helps people understand their lineage through the lens of astrology—specifically the fourth house, the part of the chart connected to family, roots, and ancestry.

We talk about:

• How astrology can reveal inherited family patterns (both challenges and gifts)

• Why so many people feel blocked in life when family dynamics go unexamined

• The difference between ancestral trauma and ancestral wisdom

• How Melanie uses astrology as a neutral tool to make sense of family experiences

• What it means to reconnect with your cultural roots without appropriating others

• European indigeneity, myth, and remembering where your people came from

• Why knowing your lineage can actually bring clarity, confidence, and direction

Melanie also generously walks me through my own birth chart, explaining how astrology can validate intuition, remove unnecessary guilt, and help us trust the path we’re already on.

If you’ve been feeling a pull toward your ancestors—or wondering why certain family patterns keep repeating—this episode opens a powerful doorway.
