In this episode of The Fairy Podcast, host Winslow Vail sits down with Rex Estell, an intuitive astrologer with 35+ years of experience and 200,000+ readings, to make astrology clear, approachable, and genuinely useful for children and adults alike.

We talk about birth charts as a snapshot in time, how planetary movements become a language, and why a good astrology reading should leave you feeling more empowered, not more worried.

We also explore some of the big questions: How much is free will, and how much is a path you chose before you got here? Rex shares a grounded way to think about karma and “the past,” and why life can sometimes feel like school, with all of us learning, teaching, and growing along the way.

Rex also shares his journey into astrology, beginning in the 1960s with the Beatles and the I Ching, and explains how curiosity, journalism, creativity, and years of experience have shaped how he reads a chart.

Then we bring it back to magic. Rex talks about what magic means to him through awe, sunsets, healing, and photography. We explore purpose versus destiny, why you are never completely locked into one chart, and how Rex approaches each reading with curiosity, compassion, and encouragement.

And for parents, we talk about how a child’s birth chart can offer insight into who they are, what they may need, and how parents can better understand and support their child.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• What astrology is and how planetary movements are interpreted
• The birth chart as a “photograph” of your birth moment
• Karma, the past, and the idea of life as a place for learning
• Free will, choice, purpose, and destiny
• Rex’s origin story: the 1960s, the Beatles, and the I Ching
• How curiosity, journalism, and creativity shape his reading style
• Progressions and why you are never locked into one chart
• Reading charts with encouragement rather than fear
• Simple ways kids can begin connecting with the night sky
• What magic means through healing, awe, and noticing beauty
• Why reading a child’s chart can help parents understand them more deeply

May the stars offer you guidance, wonder, and a deeper sense of your own journey.

About Rex Estell

Rex has been an astrologer for most of his life, beginning his studies around the age of 15, and has enjoyed it so much that he has done thousands of readings for people from all walks of life.

He is an Intuitive AND an Astrologer with many years of experience. Growing up with a grandfather who treated his clients using his healing abilities and training, Rex was highly influenced by him, as he was a professional in the field of Natural Medicine.

Astrology means Logic of the Stars, and it makes the abstract more concrete and helps us understand the influences that guide our lives, consciously and unconsciously. The term Zodiac means ”path of the animals” due to there being more animals represented in the Zodiac than Humans. Gemini is the twins, Virgo is the Virgin, Libra is the Scales, and Aquarius rules humans and humanity. Aliens too!

Rex has had an online presence for 25 years and worked on the Psychic Lines in the 90s when they were popular.

He is the product of many great school teachers – art, literature, debate, and journalism were the subjects he studied. The school paper staff were great, and they won national awards each year for their hard work.

Rex is self-taught in many areas of his life, especially astrology and music.

Astrology is always interesting, never gets boring, always brings new insights, and allows him to progress and advance in his life, knowing spiritual growth is what we came here to experience.

He has been fortunate to be a highly rated astrologer online for the last 25 years and has done more readings than he can count. When he needs answers to the questions of life, he looks to the stars and is able to find the answers there, as timing is the key to success.
