Listen NOW on Apple, iHeartRadio, and Spotify
What’s in the stars for you? In today’s episode, Zuri is joined by astrologer and author, Mecca Woods. Z is still figuring out the whole " birth charts, planet alignments" of it all -- but your girl loves a Cosmo mag horoscope and astro-compatibility search as much as the next zodiac-newb! Wanna know your maybe-boo's personality type? Compatibility? Then LET'S GO.
Take a deep dive into the cosmos as Mecca explains what astrology is, how it works, and what it means to be a fire, earth, water, or air sign. She also shares how astrology can give you context when you’re in the process of self-discovery. Zuri and Mecca also tackle the important question of how Mecca’s identity as a Black woman intersects with the world and business of astrology.
If birth charts, rising signs, and retrogrades have you intrigued but you don’t know where to start, this episode is for you.
Tune in and join Zuri and Mecca in the world of astrology and how the stars can reveal what’s in store for you.
