The Freedom Astrologer: Breaking Free from Fear, Addiction and Pain | Backstage Astrology Interview

0:00

where it kind of started for me is is I wasn’t free at all. I was very much uh

0:06

in in my past pain and suffering and holding on to a lot of that thing those

0:12

things. If you’re holding on to many things, many many pains from the past,

0:17

it’s it’s really difficult to be in the moment and live your life fully. I was

0:23

in a really bad place, you I was uh, you know, addicted to to alcohol and drugs

0:28

and and all types of bad things. And I kind of prayed like, I need this to stop. I need, you know, I need something

0:36

to change in my life because this I’m just destroying myself and I’m just like

0:41

death is the next step most likely. She basically opened my eyes to a lot of

0:47

things like started bringing these spiritual concepts to the plate and actually took me to a healer and um that

0:54

healer was you know energetic energy healer and after that session my life

1:01

completely changed like it completely changed like I started having these you

1:06

know vision I have a Neptune in the fourth house so if you don’t know what Neptune in the fourth house is Neptune

1:12

in the fourth houses it’s let’s say spiritual gifts from u from the family

1:17

lineage. So I was like very confused about why some of the let’s say spiritual things are happening to me.

1:23

Now I know this. So how can I live with this? How can I use this? How what can I actually do with this?

1:30

And I think this is a maybe a good example of of how astrology can can help

1:36

you. you know, is there an astrological placement in your chart that still feels like a wound

1:42

sometimes um I have a very difficult one which is um Pluto square sun I um let’s

1:50

say I worked worked with a company I did some work with them like it work for with them and I I like somehow it came

1:59

out that I’m also an astrologer etc. It was a big thing like it was like so it was a very big thing and I ended up uh

2:07

getting into an argument with one of the people because they didn’t really you know they wanted me to pro prove

2:12

astrology to them. But like for me like my family just like completely

2:19

ignores the fact that I’m an astrologer. They just they cannot deal with that at all. They they it’s it’s

2:27

you know scientific background science all of my grandparents were scientists. one still is in the 80s still is a

2:34

scientist. Oh yeah, definitely. The app is called Benefic. Um definitely you you

2:39

can download it on Google Play right now. It’s it’s actually been a pretty optimistic and positive launch because

2:46

we have close to 2,000 downloads. What part of the business side of astrology

2:52

um has challenged your sense of freedom the most?

2:58

That’s a freaking hell of a good question. Um, [Music]

3:12

so welcome back to backstage backstage astrology. My name is Myra and today I

Who is The Freedom Astrologer?

3:17

am with Ian Altosar, the freedom astrologer. Ian, how are you today? Thanks for being here.

3:24

I am doing exceptionally well. I’m really happy to be here. I’m just

3:29

excited to be on the show. Um yeah, doing good. And um let’s let’s you know,

3:36

dive in. Yeah. So, I usually ask the astrologers to to introduce themselves. So, how

3:42

would you introduce yourself? How do you want people to to know you? I think the main part of of who I am and

3:49

what I do is I help people be free. So, I use astrology mostly, but I also use

3:56

other methodologies that I’ve developed and that I’ve learned through other teachers um through my own pain and

4:04

suffering. And I’ve I I all I put it all together and I use it to help people be

4:10

free because I think that’s one of the main things currently missing in our

4:16

let’s say consciousness in our emotional lives in our you know even in our business lives. So I think this is this

4:23

is the main focus of who I am and what the freedom astrologer kind of represents as well.

4:28

Yeah. The the the freedom the war is very present. Obviously you’re known as the freedom astrologer but can you tell

4:35

us more why freedom? Why is it so important? What’s the message behind it?

4:42

You know the big thing is where it kind of started for me is is I wasn’t free at

4:47

all. I was very much uh in in my past pain and suffering and holding on to a

4:54

lot of that thing th those things and again like gradually through different

5:02

types of spirit again like gradually through different types of spiritual

5:09

awakenings through events very big events uh in my life I

5:15

started to kind um you know put it put the pieces

5:21

together that I am holding on to many things that I don’t necessarily need to

5:26

hold on to. I can I’m living my life in a very um painful way. Let’s put it this

5:33

way. I don’t really need to live it in that way. So once these types of kind of

5:39

understandings come together and and like the ball starts rolling

5:45

um then then bigger things start to reveal themselves to you and for me like

5:52

it was step by step step by step and then gradually I understood okay so this is what I’m doing actually for myself

5:58

I’m yearning more for more freedom in my life in my relationships in my you know

6:04

how I interact with money business with people uh and and I think most

6:10

especially it’s it’s still about how you are with yourself when you are alone

6:16

this is this is and even with other people as well this is crucially important because you’re holding on to

6:22

many things many many pains from the past it’s it’s really difficult to be in

6:29

the moment live your life fully and you really need to start making um let’s say

6:35

better decisions and and you need to understand what these things that you

6:41

are actually holding on to are and how to let go of them. So that maybe sums it

6:47

up a little bit. So what I am understanding understanding is that there was a journey that you

6:54

know in order to get to this freedom that that you are uh now living. So, and can you tell us

Painful Journey to Freedom

7:02

more about the journey specifically? Like how was it at the beginning? Was it

7:07

like a like can you describe the journey? Was it like a lot of suffering but suddenly you had realizations or how

7:14

did you evolve through that journey to get to where you are right now? So yeah, there was a lot of um there was

7:22

a lot of control in my life. I definitely wanted to control everything but also there were these you know I we

7:30

can call them beliefs beliefs about you know how I’m supposed to be in this

7:36

world and how am I supposed to let’s say care about other people’s opinions a lot of those things come from your family

7:43

background how you were raised what was the what was this childhood situation

7:48

you know who raised you who was the main role model who who wasn’t there for me a big one who wasn’t there. You know, my

7:55

father really wasn’t there. So these types of, you know, big things start to especially for a young

8:02

malleable mind, they they they leave these scars, they leave these pains. Uh

8:08

and you you you know as a young person you make these stories

8:15

really bigger than they are because they most likely you don’t have anybody there to kind of support you to understand why

8:21

you’re going through these things. So in your brain in your you know consciousness you you start to think oh

8:28

you know if this person left if this person person isn’t there that means

8:33

something is wrong with me. So if something is wrong with me, I can’t do this. So if something is wrong with me,

8:39

I can’t, you know, uh be a basketball player. I can’t be a musician or I can’t do these things. So a lot of it is is

8:47

those types of um ideas and and thoughts and and belief

8:52

systems we develop for ourselves and we live in this type of prison that we’ve

8:58

actually, you know, truthfully created for ourselves. Now the good news is you

9:04

can you know get yourself out of it. And for me you know it was a very strange

9:09

kind of uh set of events. I was this was already when I was in my early 20s a

9:14

really bad place you know I was you know addicted to to alcohol and drugs and and

9:20

all types of bad things. Um and but it was one kind of after a party. So I I

9:27

was just a ride home. I think it was like 2 3 in the morning something crazy

9:33

4 and I was alone and I was I just like started crying and I had hadn’t cried in

9:40

maybe in years maybe I can’t remember exactly but then what happened was like

9:46

something inside of me kind of prayed you know I hadn’t prayed in that moment

9:52

for never ever kind of prayed like I need this to stop I need you know I need something to change in my life because

10:00

this I’m just destroying myself and I’m just like death is the next step most likely. Um imagine like a 20 year old

10:08

you know going through something like that. So was uh after that night I got

10:13

into a relationship um quite soon like 3 6 months I can’t remember the exact

10:19

timeline and uh she basically opened my eyes to a lot of things like started

10:25

bringing these spiritual concepts to the plate and actually took me to a healer and um that healer was you know

10:32

energetic energy healer and after that session my life completely changed

10:39

completely. changed like I started having these you know visions and big I can obviously

10:44

talk about these more but like these very big events um that I think might

10:50

rock every anybody’s world and um then a lot of years later here I am basically

10:56

yeah yeah exactly so so when did you first realize that astrology would play

11:04

a central role in your life I I guess that this woman had something to do with

Freedom through Astrology

11:09

it. But how did astrology find you? The next one actually. So this is this

11:14

this is a weird one. Yeah, we that relationship ended. Uhhuh. Which I think in the long long run it

11:20

was a good thing. So the next one happened and uh this is where it kind of astrology brought came in. I I I guess

11:28

it came in a little bit earlier as well. I I got introduced somehow to Santos

11:33

Bonacci’s work. He is a bit of a crazy guy I would say in astrology but he’s he’s an interesting one. But anyway so

11:41

uh the relationship started the second one and what I started noticing was like

11:47

as the relationship grew like 6 months in maybe 8 months in something like that

11:52

I started noticing a pattern like every two weeks we would fight. I was like

11:58

what the hell is going on? Why? Like it was like these fights were so big as well. I was like, why are we fighting

12:04

every two weeks? Like I was noticing two weeks every time. Okay. So then by that

12:10

time I was already kind of like doing this spiritual thing. I was asking the questions. I was kind of like meditating

12:16

etc. So I was putting this out there. I was like so why why the hell is this happening to me and to us actually? And

12:23

then randomly I was on YouTube um and I got I I I think I saw like

12:31

Leo. Yeah, Leo’s predictions because I have Leo sun. So at that time I just

12:37

know knew about the sun signs Leo sun sign prediction for like July or

12:43

something and it was launch you know LA from really and it was her video

12:49

and accurate very accurate and and I I started actually listening to video for some

12:55

reason I clicked on it I was like okay and she explained like the moon how the moon is kind of influencing us the new

13:02

moon the full moon etc etc Yeah. And then I was like I was very skeptical. I was like I don’t know your science

13:09

scientific background, scientific family, you know why is this working? Can this work? And then I actually what

13:16

I decided to do I was like hm okay I I observed it for a couple of months then I what I did was like an experiment. So

13:23

I didn’t watch it for one month and I was like okay I so so I will watch it

13:28

after the month is done and see if the results are accurate. And then they were

13:34

really accurate and uh that was kind of like I was sold and you know a lot of

13:39

became one of my teachers and and mentors and and people I work with as well you know later on in the years but

13:44

at that moment I was like you know who is this lady just talking to me about my

13:49

future you know. Anyway so how how long have you been

13:55

practicing astrology and and how has it helped you in the journey to freedom

14:00

towards freedom? Yeah. Yeah. Um this this is I think a twopart qu like an answer. I think practicing I

14:08

started like reading charts and doing things for people around like

14:14

2015 16ish some somewhere around that.

14:19

I I became like a professional when I started getting paid you know to do it

14:24

around beginning of 2019. So it it’s becoming like a decade

14:31

already in in in that scene. I think around a decade. So I’ve been here for a

14:37

really long time. Yeah. But uh you know how has it helped me towards freedom? Um I think it really

14:46

accurately uh shows you your pain.

14:52

Where does it originate from? If you know what you’re reading, if you know what you’re doing. Yeah.

14:58

It shows you actually your gifts what why are things happening to you like

15:04

I’ll give you an example like Neptune in the fourth house. So if you don’t know what Neptune in the fourth house is

15:09

Neptune in the fourth house is it’s let’s say spiritual gifts from from the

15:14

family lineage family line. So spiritual gifts are given through the through the

15:21

family lineage. I was like very confused about why some of the let’s say spiritual things are happening to me. So

15:28

I obviously started like learning and understanding and having conversations

15:33

um with people and luckily one of you know my again my dad you know my father

15:39

is is the guy who’s who has had these experiences who’s had these kind of

15:44

awakenings here and there and he kind of told me about those things and what they

15:50

meant to him and how they started for him it kind of started making sense to me okay Neptune in the fourth house this is

15:56

you know this is making sense and um again then you learn more about Neptune

16:02

it’s you know it’s dissolving of uh any type of boundary

16:08

so for and then you put the fourth house there okay so fourth house is my emotions my emotional boundaries so

16:13

Neptune dissolves my emotional boundaries okay what does that mean so for me it meant okay so now I understand

16:20

why I can feel absolutely everything around me that is going on so maybe it’s

16:26

a person Maybe it’s an event, maybe there’s a lot of people there. So I can immediately pick up, okay, so this

16:32

person is feeling that, this this person is feeling that. And you know, at times when you’re a young person, it’s just

16:39

overwhelming and you don’t know what to do with it. But like these types of things, they start to put the pieces together and then you can go into more

16:46

of a place of okay, so know this, so how can I live with this? How can I use this? What can I actually do with this?

16:53

And I think this is a maybe a good example of of how astrology can can help you.

17:01

You know touching on that on that part of your journey where you are feeling everything I started feeling everything

17:07

because maybe people can relate here. Aquar is listening to us. How do you deal with that? Because that must be

17:13

draining emotionally draining you know and and yeah nobody teaches you how to set boundaries maybe. So how how do you

17:20

deal with that over sensitivity if if that’s how you call it? Yeah, I would I would say it is it’s

17:26

more like a you know intuitive sensitive person type type thing but yeah

17:32

it is it can be a very difficult thing to do especially when you’re not aware

17:38

of it. So because sometimes when you’re not aware of it you’re picking up on things that are not yours and you start

17:45

to think that they’re yours. So suddenly you’re like you go into a place and you start feeling something and you now you

17:52

think you’re angry or you’re agitated but you’re not actually you came into the place pretty happy and you’re you’re

17:58

pretty grounded and but when you figure that out that it’s not maybe yours and you’re picking

18:04

up that there are a couple of things uh you need to do. So first and foremost

18:09

grounding nature this is like this is almost like number one.

18:15

Number two is um meditation but meditation with a very let’s say focused

18:24

type thing. So what I mean by focused type thing is I’m I can feel myself

18:31

every time all the time where I’m at. So what I mean by this I can pull my

18:37

attention back to my own body. You know at first you need to focus on something. Usually the heart is the easiest thing

18:44

to focus on, but you can also focus on your body. So this is really like the most crucial

18:51

thing when you’re a very sensitive person because that means you can actually pull your energy back from all

18:58

those places into yourself. And now okay so I’m actually feeling this and most

19:04

likely this person is actually feeling this. Now I can you know separate because I can understand what I’m

19:10

feeling. So now when it gets a little too much is you know when there’s a lot of people. So what I mean by like like

19:17

concerts um you know big events this is very tricky but you can still do it. You

19:23

can still do it, but afterwards I I do recommend, you know, water uh any any type of water, drinking uh showers,

19:31

baths, all of that is good just to cleanse to understand because again, what you’re actually doing, you’re

19:36

bringing your awareness back to yourself because under the shower, you’re most likely alone. It’s good to be alone

19:43

there at times. And and again, you can focus on yourself and your your um body

19:49

if feeling what you’re actually feeling yourself because there’s a lot there’s a lot that’s being going going on and your

19:56

nervous system is on high alert and you need to bring it down a little bit and then actually what what will most likely

20:03

start happening as you um become better at it, you will actually start getting more

20:10

accurate descriptions of what is happening. Who whose was it? Why was I given that? Like the these types of

20:17

things start coming your way as well. Yeah. Maybe because you’re you’re you’re toning tuning into those things when you

20:25

come back to your present moment. I don’t know. But it’s so interesting. So, it it seems to me because I’ve also

20:32

taken some of your classes and I remember this super good book you have

20:37

about sleeping better and I went through those a few weeks ago especially the the

20:43

course you gave on how to make the best partnerships and deals which is very this is my opinion

20:50

obviously my humble opinion but it touches it touches on self-esteem and self value

20:56

and how you need like to make to be aware of of the gifts you have and and obviously the astrological positions

21:02

that are most challenging. So I found that in for for myself truly truly

21:09

helpful when it comes to getting to know yourself better, your fears, the

21:15

confusion, the blockages and and all these um problems that you know we don’t

21:21

share because you know we are always in automatic pilot we say in Spanish

21:26

automatico. So that was really useful and also the the book sleep like sleep better where you tell us would where

21:34

where you give us suggestions of how we can prepare to have a better sleep the

21:40

routine that goes before and and all these um based on experience you actually tested this with your with your

21:47

students and I I I think your astrology in my opinion is very healing is very about

21:52

coming back to your authentic self in order to find freedom.

21:57

So in in that regard, can you can you tell us how like what’s your expertise

22:05

in astrology? Your favorite branch of astrology, your your what do you give? Do you do readings? You do therapy? How

22:12

do you how does it work for you? How do you use astrology as a tool? Yeah. So I don’t you know I don’t have a Healing through Astrology

22:18

very specific this is only my thing like Ietic modern. I I would say I I use them

22:26

all. I I pull from all of them. Uh but one thing that I do with my

22:33

consultations is I I usually like to, you know, start with with the person

22:38

like saying like this is what I’m working when I’m going through this. Can you help me with this? basically.

22:44

So, this is when I usually do like an initial let’s say screening or a

22:49

briefing and I look at the chart and I send like a little uh summary of notes

22:55

to the person like is this what you’re doing? Does this originate from this etc

23:01

etc uh kind of like a feeler thing and also to to help the person to kind of

23:08

prepare for what’s to come. And then when there’s a let’s say let’s say the

23:14

consultation part comes it’s more it’s a lot I use astrology during the consultation as well. I look at the

23:20

thing uh I look at the chart and everything and we look at the transits and what’s going on and what’s going to

23:25

come. But very often when you actually want to experience freedom and re let’s

23:33

say um release some of the old things that we’ve been bothering you you have

23:38

to be a little bit open with me and and be okay with me proddding a little

23:44

because usually what I start doing is you know when the person comes to me I

23:50

start when they start talking I start feeling things immediately like here is the pain here is something you know

23:57

triggering what’s this about you know something like that usually starts happening or you know sometimes I get

24:03

like you know mother father you know I start getting voices etc etc so I then I

24:08

start giving that to the person and we go through we go through a definitely

24:14

let’s say like a spiritual therapy session where I where I work with with a

24:20

specific let’s say wound or place that needs attention so I can give you give

24:27

you like an example of of a person um who was working with their I have a

24:34

permission to share this because we’ve also worked with I very often I I like to create these stories you know stories

24:41

about the session whoever is um willing to share anonymously obviously and and I

24:47

I write up a kind of like um almost like a novel type um event from the uh the

24:56

session so other people can actually heal from it because there’s a there’s um you know if you’re suffering from

25:02

something most likely there are hundreds not even thousands or or maybe more millions of people suffering from the

25:08

same thing and if you we can share your healing session story with others they will be

25:15

much easier for them to heal. So yeah, ju just a just a like a very quick one

25:21

is is when a person this person had a very let’s say controlling mother and

25:27

every time they had this interaction with them they started feeling this anger they there was this like kind of

25:34

like unfairness you know and and like I when they came to me I was like okay so there’s something in the chest so

25:41

there’s lot of things in the chest unsaid I I I got really really angry all

25:46

of a sudden when Okay. And then you know from that from that you know point you

25:52

can actually start reflecting to the person like is this going on? Okay. So you’re angry. Okay. So it’s the mother.

25:59

You’re angry at the mother and they’re like [ __ ] yeah I’m angry at my mother. I’m so pissed off at my mother because

26:05

they keep doing the same thing all over again. It’s you know then you can go

26:10

actually to the you know the the child self because very often these same patterns that are now repeating in adult

26:17

life are actually originating from the childhood. this the mother they did the same thing during uh your childhood

26:24

and then you need to figure out once once the feeling has been done and like

26:30

the person understands okay I’m angry now the anger usually comes out as well and that’s fine in my session you need

26:36

to cry laugh uh be angry yell etc that’s good all good when it comes out and it’s

26:43

usually there’s more grief there’s more sadness there are more tears all of that comes out but Now when that comes out

26:50

and you’ve been with that part of yourself and you’re okay somewhat okay with that part of yourself now it

26:56

becomes like okay so what’s the real plan though now I’m a grown-up again now I’m a very let’s say mature adult and

27:03

now I can make a new plan how to deal with the mother and and how to put up my boundaries um yeah and that’s that’s

27:11

what we do or that’s what I do basically amazing so there there’s a lot of

27:16

healing going on with sessions from what I can can sense also.

27:22

So for mostly yes because sometimes you know a person comes to me still with like um you know predict my future type

27:29

thing. No I sometimes still do it. It’s not my favorite type of thing to do because it really from my experience

27:36

doesn’t do much um for for a person because if this is one of the biggest

27:41

things from my work to take is if you solve these issues gradually if you let

27:48

go of these things then the prediction you can change the predictions you know the prediction that used to be very dark

27:55

and bleak starts to you know there’s more light there you know your business starts to grow you show up in the world

28:01

your relationship starts to heal like maybe the prediction one one time one

28:08

astrologer predicted I will you know separate with my now wife um you know luckily that didn’t came true

28:16

but like this is the point I’m making is maybe the astrologer is predicting like I see a divorce here

28:21

so I don’t like to predict like this I like to say okay so I see problems in

28:27

your marriage in your relationship yes they are coming. Um, but now let’s, you know, work on why, what’s going on with

28:35

you, what’s going on with your partner. Let’s, let’s fix the things that are actually doing the harm or causing the

28:40

harm. Yeah. To to kind of change the outcome, right? Yeah. The outcome. Interesting.

28:47

So, when Well, this is more personal, but what do you do when your own chart

Pluto square Moon

28:53

is screaming at you, but you don’t want to listen? I think this is very hard. This is very

29:00

hard as an astrologer. It’s I think the main thing here is is you learn through

29:06

experience. I I have a I have a like a experience story as well. I had a couple

29:11

years ago more than couple years ago I had Pluto square moon. It’s a very very

29:17

difficult uh transit. Uh especially especially difficult transit and um you

29:24

know I know as an astrologer that is difficult. Um, I know the the things

29:29

that are associated with it. Yeah. And I know that you’re not actually

29:35

supposed to trade. I’m I I I I’m a trader sometimes. Some days when I when

29:40

I have the time and I like it, you know, I I do like to trade uh stocks or or

29:46

crypto or you know, whatever commodities. Um but the point I’m making

29:52

I know during this transit it it’s almost impossible to make the right

29:57

decisions in the market and I couldn’t you know I couldn’t stop myself because I was like oh yeah this is a good spot

30:03

this is good place you know these are these this is these uh I would say very outer planet transits these are the most

30:11

difficult for you to assess as an astrologer obviously and you you know sometimes your ego comes in it’s like I

30:18

can change it I can you tweak it here and there and then then the results are good. They’re no they’re not. So yeah.

30:25

Yeah. Don’t do it. It’s possible. So we talk about freedom but also what

30:34

is your your relationship with fear? How do you meet it? How do you deal with it?

30:41

How’s that relationship with fear? Yeah. So I think I used to be afraid of

30:48

basically everything. I I remember even my benchmate in my like ninth to high

Dealing with FEAR

30:55

school basically said like you’re a hypochondric like I was afraid of everything and so it was very strange.

31:01

So what I what I had to do obviously a lot of those things I already shared

31:06

kind of have helped but one of the main things I do with fear is the first thing is always to feel it. So the feeling

31:14

part is always like the the the first thing you need to understand what’s

31:19

going on. Again the meditations the the the the presence the the showers everything that I your nature all of

31:26

that helps with fear to feel it. So the next thing is when you can feel it then

31:34

you’re ready to actually do the thing you’re afraid of. So I always like to

31:39

actually go through it. So very early on in my my path, I was like afraid to go

31:46

with, you know, dirty clothes to the supermarket like literally because that was the kind of ideology given to me

31:54

from my family. You don’t go you you you put you know nice clothes, you do this and you know people are looking and what

32:01

they have opinions of you. It’s a very Etoriian thing by the way like opinions

32:06

of other people. But anyway, like like I didn’t even I I couldn’t even do that.

32:11

So I had to do that. I had to go and and you know um do something like that. But

32:17

I give you I’ll give you one thing as well. I think this is a very like this is a very powerful practice.

32:24

Um so these very dark things that you’re afraid of. Uh let’s say you’re in a

32:29

committed relationship, you know, monogous committed relationship. be both of you have given vows or you know

32:35

whatever you did and you are deeply afraid of you know them cheating on you

32:42

like this is something that is like constantly nagging on you constantly thinking about it is so painful and it’s

32:49

so uncomfortable and you you it starts to affect the relationship as well

32:54

so one thing you know this is where you can’t you know go out and do it you know

33:01

you know go red and meet your fears. But what you can do is this is this is I

33:08

would say a practice for the more um advanced u but I do recommend it for

33:13

people who will basically can’t do it. So what what you need to do is take your time. Uh be

33:20

in a private setting. Uh alone for me is is the best one. If you at first need

33:27

somebody to be there with it, that’s fine. But be it somebody who you can trust. So that’s a big one. Now in your

33:35

mind’s eye, you know, close your eyes. In your mind’s eye, go into the place of

33:41

what you, you know, are afraid of. So let’s say you’re afraid of your partner cheating on you. Go in your mind’s eye

33:48

and have them cheat on you with everybody. like the person, you know,

33:54

the neighbor, the the, you know, the per people they work with, everybody

33:59

while you’re doing it, while you’re imagining that, again, the feeling, go into where the feeling actually is and

34:06

actually allow yourself to feel it, feel the fear. So, this is once you do that,

34:12

I I literally promise you, you won’t like do that enough, you won’t be afraid of it. you know you it will lose all of

34:20

its power over you and you will be free from it. But this is the issue that I’ve

34:26

accounted encountered with it is a lot of people are afraid to do it are afraid

34:33

to still do it even if it’s in their mind’s eye that the fear is so big that they can’t do it and instead they choose

34:41

to live in in that fear. For me, that’s very surprising at times,

34:47

you know. Um, but like I I I usually think and believe and I’ve seen this as

34:52

well. I’ve seen this as well that it comes when they’re ready. So, when they’re ready, they will jump in and and

34:59

actually can deal with the fear because underneath the feeling of of, you know,

35:04

being afraid of somebody cheating on you or partner cheating on you is actually the fear of losing their love. And most

35:12

likely it’s not even their love. It’s the love of whoever love you lost. And most often again it’s your either parent

35:20

or a caregiver. Like most like 99% time it’s mother, father,

35:27

uh sometimes like aunt, grandparent. But the Yeah, that’s interesting because actually what

35:32

I what something I learned from you, I can’t remember if it was one of your courses or your your YouTube videos is

35:38

when when you were telling us to learn to feel the emotions, you know, because when

35:44

you’re afraid, close your eyes, tune into that feeling blah blah blah blah or sadness or crisis, whatever.

35:51

Yeah. And and I maybe I don’t know maybe it’s silly but I found it so profound and and useful until today because it

35:58

really you know I take two steps back even now I live in in a place where there is a

36:04

there was a war and so we have the missiles and the the sirens and all these like you know the sounds doesn’t

36:11

help they don’t help. So it really helped me that okay breathe twice okay

36:16

accepting you know I’m afraid but in the end I’m in control. So I have to thank you for that because this is something I

36:22

I practice until today and I remember it was I think one of your courses are your videos because what I think what we do

36:29

as humans is we avoid those feelings you know all the time the discomfort and and

36:35

you know no what you’re saying you know people don’t want to tune into those scenarios because they don’t want to

36:41

deal with the maybe the emotions or the feelings you know so I I found it that completely

36:47

useful until this day But um tell us more about your um your chartical

36:54

placement in your chart that still feels like a wound more than a gift

37:01

and how you deal with it sometimes. Um I have a very difficult

Pluto square Sun

37:06

one which is um Pluto square sun and it’s quite heavy although my sun and

37:13

Pluto both are pretty strong very strong but uh even even then the the aspect

37:21

itself is a very much of um your power

37:27

being taken away somewhere some place usually by the

37:34

father, the son. Some cases it’s the mother. So in some

37:39

charts the the son is the mother, but very often it’s the father. And

37:44

sometimes it does come back. And um again I I basically go with all of the

37:52

all of the practices I I’ve describing to you. I go with with whatever is is the most prominent in in where I’m at

37:59

because I can even give you a a bit of a an example with this because it was like a month ago when it came back

38:06

to for a for a new layer to to heal within myself is it was um

38:11

it’s a repeating pattern I I see sometimes it’s when I perceive somebody um not

38:19

appreciating the effort I put in like maybe the work that I put in, you know, the sun that a

38:26

lot of my creative side comes out into the world to build things and you’re not appreciating that. That is literally the

38:34

same wound with the Pluto square. It’s the exact wound that’s being triggered.

38:40

And the first reaction there is because it’s Pluto and it’s the sun. I will go

38:47

somewhere else and I will show you and I will make you sorry for not seeing the

38:54

the perfection or the the uniqueness or or the work that I’m putting for that’s

39:00

the the gifts you know the the Leo you know the big one but but the the actual

39:05

thing is actually you know the the opposite you need to go inside you need to understand

39:12

this is very painful right now for me for because they are not seeing my effort, what I’m putting out there.

39:19

And this is this is sometimes, you know, it takes a little while to get through it. But then when you accept the

39:27

feeling, when you are with the feeling, that’s that’s already, let’s say, a victory. Now you can make better

39:34

decisions like, hm, do I really need to leave this situation? Are they not really appreciating or is it you know my

39:43

weird strange story that I keep telling about this situation? That’s where you

39:48

can actually evaluate it from a very grounded place because sometimes that’s the that’s like the truth. You need to

39:54

leave that space. But sometimes again you’re making it too dramatic. you’re making it too painful and you’re there’s

40:03

actually more in that situation that you need to see and to actually maybe even put in more effort and work. So yeah, so

40:10

that’s a that’s a big one. Interesting. Thanks for sharing that. So

40:15

more changing gears a little bit here. Um so once you become an astrologer, um how

40:24

do people react when you tell them you’re an astrologer? and your friends or friends of friends or parents at your

40:31

kids school or stuff like that. You have any stories? Um I think I have a couple. Yeah, you

40:39

usually depending on the situation it’s not so positive but I also have like

40:46

positive stories but like um let’s say I worked worked with a company I did some

40:52

work with them like it work for with them and I I like somehow it came out

40:58

that I’m also an astrologer etc. It was a big thing like it was like so it was a

41:03

very big thing and I ended up uh getting into an argument with one of the people because

41:09

they didn’t really you know they wanted me to pro prove astrology to them. I got got into an argument with them. It’s

41:15

it’s I think it’s not a good idea for you like astrologer to get into arguments because in the end you don’t

41:20

have anything to prove and I I found this as well. If they start arguing with

41:26

you already, there’s there’s no there’s nothing you can basically say. You can basically say their whole life story to

41:34

them like if you want to waste that time and energy, I I would say call it a waste of time and energy, they will

41:40

still not believe it. So that’s that’s like the sad part I would say. And um you know when they have an ounce of

41:48

opening uh meaning they’ve somehow they’ve some place they’ve heard something usually they come and ask more

41:55

questions you know so it’s it’s a more of a positive kind of like a meeting but like for me like my family just like

42:03

completely ignores the fact that I’m an astrologer. They just they cannot deal with that at My family ignores the fact that I’m an Astrologer

42:09

all. They they it’s it’s a you know scientific background science all of my

42:16

grandparents were scientists. One still is in their 80s still is a scientist very you know because of that scientific

42:23

background there was a lot kind of like my one of my granduh grandfathers was in a very high position in a university. So

42:30

that prestige of that science you know that it it doesn’t compute.

42:37

Yeah. Yeah. How come the the grandson is into the things? I can only imagine though maybe exactly

42:42

the perceptions. Um so you were talking about it. So what else do you do?

NEW Astrology App available on Google Play!

42:48

Because I know recently launched an astrology app. Mhm. I was surprised when I got that email

42:54

and I was like so happy that you know like somebody somebody’s doing an amazing job for for astrologers. So tell

43:00

us more about that app if you want to share. The app is called Benfic. Um, definitely

43:20

especially um I feel I feel, you know, proud of that work that we put into it

43:28

43:42

for astrology to be, you know, attainable, understandable for for

43:47

people and and affordable as well. My, you know, one-on-one sessions can be

43:53

quite pricey. But like that app is, you know, the there’s always going to be a

43:58

free version of that app. So, you can literally use it for free. But like the yearly subscription, you

44:04

get everything. you get so much information um for like €699. So that’s

44:11

44:16

others, learn about the world, and understand why some of the things in your life or most of the things in your

44:23

life are the way they are. So yeah, I I definitely I I have one foot in the IT

44:29

44:36

well. And and more, let’s let’s put it this way, more astrological software is coming. Uh it will be definitely my

44:44

my path more. Oh my god, that’s so exciting. I’m looking at the app. That’s why because I

44:49

44:56

recommend Oh wow, that’s such a nice illustration of my chart. Like the way you design it, it’s very cool. And I

45:04

don’t know if you’ve already discovered like the natal natal chart part. It’s a little bit maybe hidden uh in the menu,

bit more. Yeah guys go ahead I have it here and yeah there is a cost report

46:12

um and for you know if you’re going to do astrological so keep us posted by the

46:17

46:23

app. I’m going to leave it in the description, guys. So, in case you want to check it out, you know, there is a free version so you can, you know, just

46:29

go there and explore a little bit. And talking Yeah, talking now about your your app and your business and

How your Astrology Business has challenged your Freedom?

46:35

everything of the business side of astrology um has challenged your sense of freedom

46:42

the most. That’s a freaking hell of a good

46:48

question. Um I think I think um you know when I got

46:54

into this business my intention you know you always think about yourself

47:01

as well but my intention because I was helped by a lot of people before I arrived where I’ve arrived um and I keep

47:09

arriving I still have mentors and people around me to kind of help me but like

47:15

the point is my intention was to help people. That was like that was the only

47:21

kind of underlying current why I even wanted to get into the business. Like yes, you know, you get to free work on

47:28

your own time, the kind of freedom to travel, etc., etc., but that that was

47:33

the main core. And when I got into the business at first, it seemed like whoa, so people people are like that as well.

47:41

And then you know a couple of transits hit um and I started seeing actually you

47:48

know the dark side of astrology as well and astrologers as well and I think that has really challenged

47:56

me in a way where I was like do I even want to be associated with these um

48:01

types of things um and it it got got to a place where I was like I can’t let

48:09

like maybe a few dark people stop me from from doing like the initial vision

48:16

what I had in mind to do. Uh so you you know what I would urge people to

48:24

kind of maybe do with this is when you have an astrologer saying things to you

48:31

that seem like they’re manipulating you through fear um and they’re not really

48:37

giving you ways out of it. how to navigate it, how to work with it, how to

48:43

live your life in spite of these transit that are coming to kill you or something.

48:50

Uh, unfortunately, that’s a real thing, you know. You know, you know, this is

48:55

where you need to be careful and you need to understand that this is maybe not the person for you

49:02

and I would urge you to look elsewhere as well because this is what is has

49:08

happened to me a lot is a person comes to me from these astrologers and say

49:13

this and this and this said to me that I’m going to die that I’m a bad person.

49:19

This is a big one. There are astrologers out there who give consultations to

49:26

people and say that there are mean and evil people and then people come to me

49:31

and like am I a bad person and I’m like looking at yeah you have some maybe challenges here and there but you know

49:38

it doesn’t mean that you’re a bad person you need to work on these things. Um, so I’ve I’ve seen I’ve seen the darkness uh

49:47

of this business and um I wasn’t enjoying it and I hope uh people stop

49:53

and maybe maybe I have some maybe I have some uh word to say about

49:59

this and how to change it hopefully in the future. Yeah. I know that’s a good advice what you just told us about if if it’s

50:07

causing you a sense of fear or threaten or if it’s threatening your emotional

50:13

vibration or something maybe that’s where you should pause and just think if

50:18

you know as you said what we’re feeling or what is what he said that made you feel like that and probably stop and

50:24

look somewhere else. Actually we were talking to another other astrologers about this and you know in the end you

50:31

resonate with certain type of people and astrologers as well. So in the end we

50:36

end up choosing our astrologers but I think the recommendation you just gave is very useful.

Humble Advice to the Astrology Community

50:44

So just one maybe piece because one sometimes you can go through a very difficult transit. Maybe it’s a Neptune

50:50

square opposition and then that comes in and then you’re confused and they’re you’re kind of like misguided almost and

50:58

it makes makes you kind of um go down a wrong path and I I know why these people

51:04

are doing they’re doing because then you will go again and get another consultation get pay more money then

51:10

they will give you something else. It’s kind of like a vicious vicious cycle. Yeah.

51:16

Yeah. Interesting. So, well, the next question I think you already gave the

51:21

answer, but it was what’s something about the astrology world that you think needs healing?

51:27

I think it’s really related to it. I I think it’s very related to that. And I I think it’s it’s um

51:35

you know, I I it makes me sad. It makes me really

51:40

sad that it’s happening, but it it does almost like raise the bar for you guys

51:48

who are maybe more on the side of of like the consumer of the business. Uh

51:53

to raise your bar a little. Obviously, astroers have to meet you. This is unacceptable that this is happening. But

52:00

like, you know, maybe it’s a it’s a practice for you to to understand and and develop some of your

52:07

senses a little bit more, you know, because this is where where I’m I’m conflicted with saying this because a

52:13

lot of these people are, you know, in in very vulnerable positions and that’s why I don’t like it because it’s you you’re

52:19

supposed to help empower these people out of those vulnerable positions into more powerful position. That’s the like

52:26

the job of the sources not to tell the future uh with you know what will happen

52:31

in a negative way. Yeah. Scary way. Exactly. Scary way. So the last two questions are One Astrological Truth for You (and all Libras)

52:38

if you could transmit only one astrological truth to the world what

52:44

would it be? That’s a good

52:51

Oh yeah. Um, one truth.

52:57

Yes, I have actually a good answer for this. I think at least I think it’s a good one. Um, so you can actually free

53:05

yourself from the shackles of astrology. So what do I mean by this is let’s say

53:13

you’re a Libra ascendant Libra moon um

53:18

son and people constantly tell you you know you have a trouble you have trouble making decisions you constantly weigh

53:25

things here and there you can’t make the decision one way or the other and people are really frustrated with you and

53:31

you’ve al also you have a responsibility there you’ve taken that persona on it

53:37

doesn’t mean that You have to be like that. You just have to figure out and

53:42

again very often for Libras it’s actually the the fear underneath of what

53:49

happens if I make the wrong decision. That’s why I’m so afraid of making the

53:54

decision right now. You’re helping me understand my husband now. So go on.

53:59

He’s he’s weighing. I know. Um but but like very often it’s a fear of of making

54:05

the wrong decision. And what does that fear mean? If I make the wrong decision,

54:11

who am I? What am I? Am I like, is my mother going to yell at me? Is my father going to yell at me?

54:18

Are they going to take away their love? So, I’m still that little boy or girl who who is afraid, deeply afraid of

54:26

making that wrong decision. And now, if I make the wrong decision, is my spouse

54:31

going to come at me as an adult? Is my boss going to come at me as an adult? and yell and then I’m going to have to

54:37

feel that same pain all over again which is most likely the case which um which

54:46

unfortunately there’s no because this is this is way this is the way the scenario

54:51

plays out because if you don’t make decision decision they come and yell at you and scream at you and they tell you

54:58

this and that so you have to feel it anyway. Now

55:04

there’s there’s almost no escape from this. Um so you have to kind of feel it.

55:10

When you start feeling that fear and experiencing that most likely these

55:15

images will come and memories will come from the past to you. Then it will open

55:20

up a new world and you will see like okay so if I make a wrong decision and

55:26

they yell at me I just feel the pain and move on with my life. and and then the

55:33

wrong decision becomes less and less scary basically is is what I’m saying.

55:38

But you have to do it constantly because especially if now you’re an adult,

55:44

you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, whatever, 60s, that belief has just it has so like big

55:53

roots underneath. So it will be much harder to kind of um eradicate. But what

56:00

I’m saying to you is there’s a way out of it and you can actually start making um better decisions quicker. Let let’s

56:07

put it this way. Or or even like first and foremost doing making decisions

56:13

quicker without having so much anxiety and fear of making the wrong one. Being

56:18

okay, I know this is going to come. I know this fear is going to come. I’m prepared. I as an adult am prepared to

56:24

make it. Yeah. Sorry. They’re muted.

56:32

I was saying that’s very insightful and sorry I was coughing and and yeah I can

56:38

yeah I can relate to that. I have but my partner is Libra son and yeah it it

56:44

really resonates now. understand where is it coming from when he’s like no yes and he’s checking with half of the world

56:50

about something and I’m like just just buy it or don’t or like just you know

56:56

because a lot of it was also you know Libras had to get that input from from

57:03

the caregiver or parent as well like the okay like this okay you can do it and

57:08

yeah like an approval or something like an approval so that’s that’s a big part portion of that as well you know

57:14

parents Uh parents sometimes we do things that

57:20

are not good for our children. Well, I guess everyone is trying their best with what they know.

57:26

Of course. Of course. I get it. Totally. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. And finally, um

One Negative Personal Transit

57:32

what current or upcoming transit do you personally find most inspiring or

57:39

challenging and why? So I have two I have two one positive

57:45

one very negative. Um I’ll start with the negative then I go with the positive. So we end on a positive note

57:53

but uh the negative one that is coming my personal one is coming uh Pluto

57:59

opposite my sun and mercury both at the same time. Um most likely I will I

58:06

already let’s say because I receive also visions and premonitions of of what’s

58:12

going to happen from a personal experience from personal level as well for for the people around

58:19

me. Um I already know one of the let’s say close ones in my family is going to pass

58:27

during this time during this transit. And it’s like the vision has been given to me to to kind of um let’s say grieve

58:36

it all in in advance because I know it’s coming and it’s going to affect a lot of it and you know I’m almost like I’m

58:43

almost like preparing for the difficulty that is uh coming and I know it’s coming and um it still scares me a lot

58:50

but it’s okay at the same time as well. So this is what starts to happen with you. It’s like the death and the life,

58:57

they start to melt into one at times. You’re still you’re still human. You still feel the grief and the emotions

59:04

and feelings. Yeah. But like when you have a lot of these spiritual awakenings and experiences

59:09

like these these notions of life and death, they kind of they melt into one.

59:15

Um that’s on a negative note, but on a positive note, uh I will have Uranus

Uranus conjunct Natal Jupiter

59:20

conjunct my Jupiter already have almost happening. So, it’s uh pretty exciting. I’m receiving

59:28

downloads. I’m more I don’t know these types of ideas and um things things are

59:35

happening in a lot of ways and I I can’t even describe. It’s it’s it’s a pretty pretty exciting transit to have.

59:41

Well, you just released your app. No, that Yeah, it’s obviously that’s one of the things

59:47

Uranus technology Jupiter Jupiter is actually the third house uh ruler as well. So it’s a lot about you know

59:53

marketing, sales, webinars, um technology. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

59:59

So there’s good good things happening as well. So this is maybe a good thing to end with as well. If you if you’re

Upcoming Astro Goodies!

1:00:05

having a difficult transit, there’s most often there’s something positive in your chart as well that is helping you

1:00:11

through it or or helping with it, you know. Ian, thank you so much. Tell us just um

1:00:18

quickly if you what do you have in mind? Are you going to teach courses again? Are you doing your consultations? Are

1:00:24

you opening seminars? Any new books? What’s what’s up with you these days besides from the app?

1:00:30

Definitely. Definitely. I’m I’m I’m co-creating this is already been finished. Uh let’s say an astrological

1:00:38

uh calendar for 2026 that will come out uh the couple of weeks, three something,

1:00:46

four weeks from now on. it should be uh available for sale and uh yeah I’m going

1:00:53

to start teaching more definitely I have a lot I have I have to do because I have so much material on for the second part

1:01:00

of how to make the best deals yeah I think that’s brilliant I was

1:01:05

going through it again and I’m like oh my god like maybe I maybe I won’t put this in the interview but yeah you

1:01:11

should like re revamp it or reopen it or something there’s so many like gold gold

1:01:18

pieces. I don’t know how you say it. I I’m probably going to do it. I don’t have a timeline for that yet, but I want

1:01:26

to do it and I want to teach it because there’s so much information I’ve gained uh through experiences and and um

1:01:33

awakenings and other things. Yeah, consultations. Consultations. Yeah,

1:01:39

consultation is also open. I’m I’m I’m probably going to change it, tweak it a little bit. So

1:01:45

for me the the main part of of why I do consultations, I want to work with the

1:01:51

right people at the right time and um why I’m probably going to go down the

1:01:57

route of creating a community who will

1:02:02

get to know more of the intimate uh side of the freedom astrologer and and get more intimate materials and those people

1:02:10

will get access to consultations as well. um this is what I’m thinking just because

1:02:16

then they will be more prepared to do the actual work and not just go with the you know predict my future type thing.

1:02:22

This is this is where I’m kind of headed with with uh the consultations. Yeah. Or just like and can you get me

1:02:28

feel tomorrow you know without going through any person. No, I get you. I get you. And it’s very difficult.

1:02:34

Yeah. Are you still on YouTube? Yeah. Do you Yes, I’m YouTube. I I have I have a new

1:02:39

channel which is called freedom channelneled um where I do channelings

1:02:45

let’s say intuitive channelings the messages I do receive these are more like a general guidance

1:02:51

sometimes a very personal guidance and then I’m I do I have the freedom astrologer astrology channel as well

1:02:57

where still a lot of interviews videos just lot of free resources you can get

1:03:03

started with there’s I don’t know like 300 800 I don’t know anymore.

1:03:09

I remember I follow it thoroughly and and your interviews, not your videos with Tony and and and then the cosmic

1:03:16

adult series you had and Yeah. And and currently the one you have the freedom channel.

1:03:23

Yeah. Um I was telling Ian before we actually started recording that it’s like having

1:03:28

a daily like um five minute sometimes 10 minutes like astro tip in a way.

1:03:35

Yeah. Basically combined with with his intuitive um gifts. Let’s call let’s let’s call it like that. So I I find

1:03:42

them very useful when I just I’m in the bus or I’m walking and I just want to listen to something that

1:03:49

nurtures me. I I turn into into your small videos.

1:03:55

That’s really uh good to hear. Uh just maybe a word of warning. Sometimes

1:04:00

there’s little bit not all the time but maybe there’s a little bit of a almost

1:04:06

like a shadow work type message in there as well. So it’s it’s I I mostly

1:04:12

maybe I I do receive I would say positive things but there

1:04:18

are things sometimes that I get that are you know necessary for people to

1:04:24

understand from a very difficult perspective as well like like

1:04:29

there’s something we need to look at in ourselves to to be better people um

1:04:35

around all all around let’s let’s call it that. Yeah. And I think it it’s very honest

1:04:40

from you to do that because I mean not everything can be positive all the time. You know for in order to have light you

1:04:47

need darkness. So I think it’s completely normal but yeah it depends obviously how people take it. But that’s

1:04:53

not your problem in a way you know you’re just sharing what you are seeing

1:04:58

or feeling. So I think it’s a great um channel the the new one. I really like

1:05:04

it. Thank you for doing that. And Ian, I really hope to have you back someday again. I have more questions, but I also

1:05:10

need to honor your time. So, thanks for being here and sharing with us and getting real. Is there anything else you

1:05:17

want to say? So, definitely if if you want me back, I I enjoy uh giving these types of of

1:05:23

interviews, enjoy telling telling stories about healing and and astrology

1:05:28

and whatnot. So, definitely we’ll be back. Um yeah guys take your time for

1:05:35

the next years. Um it will be a wild wild ride. It won’t be easy. Um the

1:05:44

better you are with yourself, the more in tune you are with yourself, the

1:05:50

easier it will be for you. So if there is one thing to kind of work on or

1:05:58

understand more, it’s yourself. And if you put the effort there,

1:06:04

no AI or anything can take away your job basically. It’s um I think it’s a

1:06:10

investment worth making. Yeah. Oh, beautiful. Thank you, Ian. Thank you

1:06:15

so much and thanks for tuning in and see you in the next episode. Thank you again, Ian, and see you soon.

1:06:22

Thanks. Bye.
