049 Can Astrology save YOU Time? Ira Kiourti PhD & Abigail Barnes

The Time Management Podcast

📣 This week on The Time Management Podcast my guest is Ira Kiourti, PhD, (D.F.Astrol.S., Cl.Hyp., MLitt, MPhil, RTT, Cert.Psych.Astrol.) a Professional Astrologer with 30+ years experience, an RTT qualified therapist, and a Doctor of Philosophy, specialising in Logic and Metaphysics. She is also the holder of a prestigious Diploma from the Faculty of Astrological Studies (FAS) in London.

This Episode is for you if:

→ You’re willing to see things differently

→ You've been wondering what’s going on in the world right now

→ You’re ready to reframe what you know to be true and consider a different way of looking at life and time!

Ira has this to say about her journey with astrology: “Astrology is one of the first languages I learned as a child and it has never ceased to surprise and delight me. Contrary to popular belief, it is a rich symbolic language which facilitates self-knowledge, personal empowerment and the exercise of free will. It allows us to step outside our programme - to become lucid in this dream, or hit "pause" in this virtual reality game we’re in - and decode it. It is precisely this mental shift which allows for greater freedom and conscious choice.“
