We spoke of the process of actualizing one’s life and following one’s excitement as a kind of creativity. We also speak of how we, as fractals of the cosmos, participate in the expansion of the cosmos through our creative 'offspring' of all kinds.</p><p><br></p><p>Maren Altman is an astrologer living in New York City as she finishes her undergraduate degree at New York University. Her practice centers around combining ancient traditional Hellenistic techniques with modern psychological counseling dynamics in order to provide practical guidance to her clients.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>She is interested in the long-term research of astrology as learning about the structure of reality, and she has plans to combine her astrology with her path of Philosophy graduate school in order to become a cosmological thought leader.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Maren is also a published fiction author, with her first novel, <em>A Prisoner of Memory</em>, now available on Amazon, and her second, <em>Badflower, </em>on the way.
