2026: The End of the Old Normal — And What Comes Next | Debra Silverman

#410 In this episode, Guy interviewed astrologer and clinical psychologist Debra Silverman about why 2026 feels unusually intense, citing a rare astrological event in which all outer planets (Jupiter through Pluto, including Uranus and Neptune) change signs in the same year, something she says has no historical precedent in available records. They discussed current eclipse energies (Feb 17–Mar 3) as a universal period of manifestation, transformation, and discomfort, with examples of major events occurring under eclipses. Silverman frames this era as a "radical departure" from an old system, with hidden shadows and secrets being revealed, and emphasizes authenticity and dismantling outdated norms. She explained her approach of blending astrology with psychology, teached the four elements framework, described chart themes, and advised listeners to stay centered by identifying what calms their nervous system—solitude, community, accountability, service, or exercise.

About Debra: When Debra Silverman was just 20 years old, she met an Astrologer who blew her mind and changed her world forever. She had officially been introduced to the world of Astrology. It was then that she realized the stars in her own world had aligned just right, and she had found her life's purpose.

Debra went on to deeply study the mind and body, earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology & Dance from York University and a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. Over the past 45+ years of professional experience and private practice, she has specialized in helping thousands of individuals achieve emotional health and wisdom based on their unique personality and the four elements: water, air earth, and fire. Her work with families, individuals, and couples has her standing out in a sea of therapists and coaches.
