Charlotte Benson has practiced astrology as a career since 1972.  She is the five-term president of the Arizona Society of Astrologers, one of the largest and oldest astrological organizations of its kind in the West. She has been the president of the American College of Vedic Astrology, Inc since 2018, and is now a Professor there. She is an experienced public speaker, guest media commentator on astrology, and presenter at international astrology conferences. Charlotte is versed in both Western astrological methods and classic Vedic astrology techniques, and offers a broad spectrum of information for her clients. She has analyzed tens of thousands of charts, serving her clients with the intelligence offered by the language of the stars. In today’s episode we discuss: The difference between Western astrology and Vedic astrology. The difference between your rising and sun sign, and the importance of knowing your rising sign. How your character, as shown through the planets when you were born, implies your future destiny. How an astrological analysis can help you clarify and foster self-awareness for your behavior patterns to live a more fulfilled life. Highlights from both Stephanie and Marnie’s charts, which Charlotte shared with them for the first time on air.  We both learned so much about astrology and our charts.  After this session Marnie & Stephanie both did a private session with Charlotte to dive deeper into their astrological analysis.
