Monisha “Six” Holmes
On episode six of Star Love Podcast we welcomed Six, a Miami-based Astrologer, Intimacy Doula, and student of human sexuality. We discussed her formidable academic background, her unique approach to astrological chart interpretation, her work promoting sex-positivity, and her effort to help clients heal their darker experiences with sexuality. On top of that we did an exercise in comparative literature, contrasting her brief essay on Jupiter in Capricorn to Sylvia Plath’s seminal poem Daddy. To learn more, check out Six’s website Black Women Cry. Links to all her social media can be found on the website. This podcast contains serious themes dealing with sexuality and sexual assault, so please be advised. This episode was recorded in late March of 2020.
