We were lucky to catch up with Monica Milewski recently and have shared our conversation below.
Monica, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?
To sum it up: my purpose in this life is to help others find their purpose! Finding my purpose as a Therapeutic Astrologer was a combination of intuition, observation and of course, astrology. My entire life I had been fascinated by understanding myself, the people around me, and why we treat each other the way we do. I’d ask myself questions like, “how could I navigate uncertainty, pain and difficult challenges, to create more certainty, strength and motivation in my life?” or “what are the truer motives of why people hurt other people?” This curiosity about personal development led me to studying psychology and ultimately receiving my Masters of Social Work.
Challenges were still ahead though, as I became sick with arthritis when I was 27. My life seemed to still feel unfulfilled, and with confusion on why I was experiencing such pain at such a young age, I deeply felt something was off in my life. I went through a deep healing, discovered natural remedies to help my symptoms subside, and I knew it was time for a change. I strongly felt the warmth and environment of the southwest would heal me on various levels.
It was moving to Phoenix that I discovered my interest in astrology and the stars would hold the answers to connecting more dots for me than I had ever done, even going to therapy and pursuing education to become a therapist myself. When I consulted an astrologer to read my birth chart, she pinpointed aspects of myself I had been neglecting, ways I wasn’t showing up fully in my most authentic energy. It was no wonder I hadn’t yet discovered my true purpose; I hadn’t even yet fully acknowledged my strengths and weaknesses on such a deep level.
My zodiac strengths of intuition, self-understanding and inner transformation were all tied to my Scorpio rising energy. My desire to spread joy, leadership and love, a testament to my Leo sun sign, while my passion and determined willpower to not give up along the way, was very much connected to my Aries moon sign. I could share much more about the insights I gained about my energetic signature, but we would likely be reading a much longer novel!
With my excitement ablaze, I began to learn more about astrology, and I learned very quickly how to understand what each zodiac sign represents and how at times various parts of my energetic expression could clash, or harmonize. Following my intuition had been the first step to uncovering the deeper journey that ultimately led me to realizing I was meant to help not just myself understand me, but to also help countless others figure out what their highest energetic alignment and purpose was.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
As a Therapeutic Astrologer, I use a person’s birth chart (a map of the sky at the time someone was born) to discover what planets were in which zodiac sign. This map is divided up into “houses” or specific areas and focuses on one’s life. Most commonly, I have clients ask about their careers, purpose, love life and family life. There is so much more to discover as well though! The therapeutic aspect comes in when after I share what a person’s energy signature is, I focus the discussion on discovering what limiting beliefs are holding a person back from living their life in alignment with their energy signature. Even just one session has had a profound impact on many of my clients, offering them the inspiration from which to make major life changes.
The field of astrology and how one can use their birth chart on the healing journey is very layered. I’m currently excited about expanding my services to offer electional astrology readings (this looks at future event dates to see which one would offer the best astrological forecast according to a person’s birth chart interactions). Additionally, I’ve been eager to share my astrocartography services, where I would look at the birth chart in a manner that spans the map of the world. Yes, we can also look to see what locations may offer certain types of journeys and energies when you live there!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The pursuit of joy, willingness to admit my shortcomings, and taking risks in the pursuit of growth, were all factors that shaped my journey profoundly. In a way, these are the qualities we all most likely embodied as children. We took adventures, even if it was a journey across an unknown playground because it inspired fun; we cried tears admitting what hurt us, to those willing to listen and care; we made friends of strangers in new schools.
The best way I could advise to keep growing and finding one’s way, would be to rediscover these elements of being a child, while being an adult. Reach out to new contacts, move across the country if you feel inclined to start over, and above all, allow yourself to do the things that make you smile the most.
Who is your ideal client or what sort of characteristics would make someone an ideal client for you?
My ideal client is someone who has gone through difficulties in their life, and even so, has the desire and motivation for change. They are someone who has a dream, and may just need a bit of a divine affirmation that can help them believe more deeply in their vision and passions. Above all, my ideal client values investing in themselves, values their health (physically, mentally and spiritually) and wants to work with someone who embodies the spirit of never giving up on oneself. Together, we would experience openness, vulnerability and full validation for one’s authentic self.
