"Safron Rossi has a beautiful way of weaving the mythological Gods into the symbolism of Astrology. The way she explains the archetypes is an opening door to shifting the way I'm looking at the planets as gateways into our psyche. Her message is clear, connecting the message in a hermetic way. To me enchanting and absolutely enjoyed it. Thank you!"
