If you’ve ever wondered if there’s more to your birth chart than just your sun sign—and if you’re looking for ways to understand your life’s deeper patterns, blocks, and gifts—this week’s episode is a must-listen. Emily Williams sat down with Jill Brown, evolutionary astrologer and founder of Eight Stars Company, for an enlightening conversation that bridges science, spirituality, and real, tangible growth.

What Is Evolutionary Astrology and Why Should You Care?

Jill Brown describes evolutionary astrology as “the chart behind the chart.” Unlike traditional astrology, which primarily looks at sign traits and planetary positions at birth, evolutionary astrology explores the soul-level journey: your past life karma, the challenges you’re meant to overcome, and how to steer your life toward the deepest fulfillment and purpose.

Jill shares from her own riveting experience—her initial skepticism (she’s a trained aeronautical engineer, after all!), a life-altering Saturn return, and the healing that came from her first evolutionary astrology reading. For Jill, this practice wasn’t just a curiosity; it became a toolkit for validation, permission, and integrating all sides of herself.

Seeing Yourself—And Your Gifts—More Clearly

Perhaps the most profound part of Jill’s approach is the validation it offers. Both Emily and Jill discussed how readings made them feel “seen”—sometimes for the very first time. Jill recounts how her chart reading helped her process buried family trauma and gave her self-acceptance. Similarly, Emily noted how her chart, with its combination of leadership and intensity, explains not just her professional drive, but also her deepest desires for balance and connection.

Whether you’re leading a movement, raising a child, or seeking your unique voice, evolutionary astrology offers customized guidance. Through Jill’s methodical readings—much deeper than a quick-hit astrology app—you can discover:

• Your karmic story: Understand repeating patterns and why certain challenges show up.
• Timing and transitions: Unlock insight around pivotal life moments, like your Saturn Return or Chiron Return (hello, quarter-life and midlife crises!).
• How to actually heal: Find the modalities that fit you (whether it’s coaching, therapy, or using your voice).

Not Just for Entrepreneurs—For Moms, Creatives, and Anyone Seeking Meaning

One of the beautiful parts of the conversation was how inclusive astrology can be. You don’t need a “big mission” to benefit from this work. Jill often works with women (and men!) who want to better parent, heal family trauma, or simply understand themselves on a profound level.

Astrology isn’t prescriptive; it’s descriptive and empowering. Jill pulls out the unique themes of your chart—whether those are around money, relationships, career, or self-worth. And for Emily, the discovery of an “out of bounds moon” explained her drive to break molds, move across countries, and create her own rules.

Permission to Change, Permission to Be

A resounding takeaway? You have permission to recreate yourself—again and again. As Jill says, “Stay open to possibility. Keep an open mind. You do not have to be the same person you’ve always been.”

Evolutionary astrology offers both a mirror and a map: it reflects who you are and who you could become, giving you the courage to trust yourself, pursue authentic healing, and step into a life “better than your dreams.”

Final Thoughts

If your heart is nudging you toward something new, bigger, or different—say yes. Even if you don’t feel completely ready, trust that your soul is guiding you for a reason. Jill’s journey (and mine!) is proof that incredible things can happen when you lean in before you’re sure.

Saying yes before you’re ready isn’t about being reckless. It’s about being open—to growth, to healing, and to a life far beyond your wildest dreams.
