Ep. 32 Becoming More Than Your Zodiac Sign with Astrologer Sonja Marie

Welcome to Have a Blessed Gay, your weekly spiritual-comedy podcast! Join holy host, Tyler Martin, as he critically discusses social norms, current events, mental health, religion, and spirituality from an outcast's perspective. In this week’s episode, Tyler chats with Astrologer Sonja Marie. Over the past 20 years, millions have appreciated Sonja Marie’s poetic prowess as one of three writers featured on the multi-platinum soundtrack, Waiting To Exhale. She has two solo poetry CD’s, five poetry anthologies, and a poetry eBook, Thoughts And Wishes After The Storm. But her work as an astrologist is equally as impressive. She has a weekly astrological blog, called WordLife Astrology, where she uses Western Astrology’s mathematical yet metaphysical teachings to guide people.
She is the monthly horoscope columnist for ESSENCE Magazine -- her horoscopes being read by millions. Sonja’s national television appearances include The Steve Harvey Show and The Doctors. In November 2020, Sonja Marie released her first book The Signs - An Astrological Memoir. The memoir affords readers deeper knowledge of the Signs themselves and how their energy is an integral part of us, which can open the door for more life expansion in our personal and professional lives.
Sonja is down-to-earth, hilarious, and genuine. In this conversation, she breaks down what astrology is, how people can use it as a tool, and what we should be on the lookout for in the coming future.
