Story of the Round: The Zodiac as a Living Process Part II

Join Kaia and Simona as they explore the signsthrough an exercise they call Story of the Round, a way of understanding the zodiac as a living, breathing processthat’s always in motion.   Rather than seeing the zodiac as a set of fixedtraits, they look at how the signs unfold as an ongoing cycle always at play. Whether beginning a new relationship, starting a new job, moving to a new country, or simply navigating the ever-evolving terrain of being human, this framework offers a meaningful way to engage with the process. Story of the Round invites us to feel into each phase, to notice what comes more easily, where we might get“tripped up,” and to reflect on what may be emerging next.   In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, Simona andKaia journey through the last six signs of the zodiac as stages within thisunfolding cycle.
