In this captivating episode titled "Unveiling the Power of Your Big Three: Sun, Moon, and Rising Signs," Misha, your host on Peaches Podcast, takes you on a journey into the world of astrology. With Scorpio Season in full swing, Misha begins by acknowledging all the Scorpios out there and wishing them a Happy Scorpio Season. She reveals the importance of looking beyond just your main sign, the sun sign, and explores the intriguing concept of the Big Three (Sun, Moon and Rising).

Before diving into the details, Misha shares a personal story about her own experience with astrology. She recalls a friend mentioning it back in college, but it wasn't until the pandemic hit that she truly delved into it. As work became increasingly stressful, she realized the need to learn more about herself. During this challenging time, Misha found solace in alternative methods like spending time outdoors, practicing yoga, and exploring self-discovery which led her to explore her own birth chart.

Misha reveals her own Big Three which is revealed in the episode.  She explains that the snapshot of the sky at the exact moment of birth, known as the birth chart or natal chart, holds powerful insights into an individual's personality, identity, motivations, opportunities, timing, and recurring themes throughout life.

Breaking down the Big Three, Misha starts with the sun sign. She describes it as the core identity and essence of personality, influencing basic character traits, motivations, and how one expresses themselves in the world on a daily basis. Moving on to the moon sign, Misha highlights its role in representing emotions, instincts, and the inner self. The moon sign reveals emotional needs, subconscious patterns, and one's intuitive nature.

Finally, the host explores the rising sign, which is determined by the time of birth. She explains that the rising sign represents the way others perceive us and how we present ourselves to the world. It can influence appearance, demeanor, and the impressions we leave on others. The rising sign holds significance in shaping one's identity and even how they continue to live their life.

As the episode concludes, Misha encourages listeners to engage with @Peaches_Pod by liking, rating, and reviewing the show.  And of course, she gives another shoutout to all the Scorpios out there.
