Listen "Episode 9, Monique Ruffin"
Episode Synopsis
"Moon Mama" Monique Ruffin is Arlia's guest today. She describes her own journey to astrology, the personal implications of our birth charts, and the challenges we are all facing right now.
Monique went to live with her grandma in Watts, CA when she was just three years old. By the time she was thirty, she had experienced the death of both her parents and all of her grandparents. She wanted to do nothing but die from all the trauma she was carrying in her body.
She started asking questions of her higher self.
She stopped asking “Why me?” and began to ask the universe for the strength and the power to meet the call of the obstacles that lay before her. She stopped resisting and began surrendering to a power within her that desired solutions over escape routes.
Monique is an Astrology coach, feminine power coach, MMS facilitator at Progressive Love Academy. She Studied Spiritual Psychology at University of Santa Monica and Political science at Howard University and studied with spiritual leaders.
But nothing has prepared her to support others in their healing work the way her life experiences have.
Monique is naturally gifted with astrology and uses natal chart readings as well as ritual, crystal grids, reiki healing, talk therapy and lots of personal reflection to serve her clients.
Monique says, “Every difficulty and obstacle is an invitation to know what you’re truly made of and who you really are, if you’re willing to show up.”

How she came to astrology
The movement from victim to creator
The Hero's Journey for People of Color
