Heather Rebecca Wilson shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Heather Rebecca , a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
For a long time, I poured my energy into arguing on the internet about politics, race, and trauma. I thought I was helping by correcting and confronting, but instead it became a fast track to depression, anxiety, and even suicidal ideation. This drained my spirit and disconnected me from my actual purpose. I let go of this approach around 2020, but honestly, I still felt guilty about reclaiming my energy until recently.
What I’m being called into now is a radical shift: putting down the battles that keep me in cycles of depletion (including the internal ones), and instead directing my energy toward what I’m *for*. I’m here to empower cycle breakers and lineage liberators through my work in “Astro-Ancestral Healing” — and now, more than ever, through my expansion into Galactic Astrology.
Galactic Astrology is the study of our soul’s connections to fixed stars, constellations, and galactic points in the natal chart. It reveals where we’ve lived and traveled as souls beyond Earth, the missions we’ve carried across dimensions, and the star lineages that shape our deepest gifts and challenges. In essence, it helps us remember that we are not just descendants of human ancestors, but also of star ancestors.
Bringing Galactic Astrology into my practice feels like stepping fully into the bigness of my calling. It’s no longer just about healing Earth-bound trauma and ancestral wounds (though that’s still vital), but about weaving the cosmic story — helping people remember that they are multidimensional beings with a mission that stretches beyond this lifetime, beyond this planet.
The fear I had before was around being “too much” — too mystical, too galactic, too out-there. But the truth is, my ancestors didn’t fight, dream, and pray for me to play small. And neither did my star ancestors.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Heather Rebecca Wilson, and I guide cycle-breakers, visionaries, and sacred disruptors in transforming ancestral wounds into embodied power and radiant leadership. I call my work Astro-Ancestral Healing Alchemy™, a modality that weaves together astrology, ancestral reverence, somatic embodiment, and now, galactic astrology and quantum soul guidance.
What makes my work unique is that it’s not just about personal healing — it’s about lineage liberation and cosmic remembrance. I hold space for people to reconnect with the wisdom of their ancestors, both of blood and of stars, and to reclaim their soul’s mission on Earth at this pivotal time.
I come from Visayan ancestors in the Philippines, West African ancestors from Ghana and Nigeria, and the rebel blood of the British Isles. My own healing journey began with breaking cycles of generational trauma, which naturally expanded into ancestral healing. Over time, I realized that many of the wounds we carry aren’t just from our bloodline — they are echoes of ancient galactic traumas. That realization opened the door to my current expansion into galactic astrology, a system that reveals our star origins and the soul lessons we carry from lifetimes beyond Earth.
What I’m most excited about right now is bridging the ancient and the cosmic. My brand is about creating spaces where pleasure, justice, liberation, and multidimensional wisdom coexist — because I believe healing can be fierce, joyful, and revolutionary.
In other words: I help people turn ancestral baggage into galactic power.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before the world told me who I had to be, I was a sensitive, intuitive child who could feel the weight of stories that weren’t fully mine — grief, longing, and echoes of pain passed through my ancestral lineages. I didn’t have the words for it back then, but I carried both the brilliance and the burden of my bloodlines inside me.
By 2018, that weight demanded to be felt. My ancestral healing journey began with touching the grief and sadness of my ancestors, while also facing my own racial identity development trauma. I had to reckon with the internalized anti-Blackness I inherited from both sides of my family, and heal the ruptures in my relationship with my Filipino identity.
For so long, I thought my sensitivity was a weakness. But through ancestral healing, I came to realize it is my greatest strength. In fact, one of the sacred outcomes of this work is that it reopens the spiritual gifts our lineages carried — gifts many of us have been taught to suppress or forget.
That journey of release and reclamation cracked me open to the truth of who I am: not just a human being breaking cycles on Earth, but a galactic being remembering lifetimes across stars, dimensions, and timelines. Today, I honor both my Earth ancestors and my star ancestors in my work, guiding others to do the same — because our wholeness lives in both.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
The defining wounds of my life have been the inherited traumas of my ancestors, and the racial identity wounds I carried as a multiracial woman of African and Filipino descent growing up in the U.S.
I carried the grief of displacement, colonization, and survival in my bones, as well as the pain of internalized anti-Blackness and fractured belonging within my Filipino identity. For years, I thought my sensitivity and depth were weaknesses — something to hide or minimize to survive.
The healing came when I allowed myself to feel it all. In 2018, I began a massive clearing of ancestral trauma, grieving for my ancestors while reclaiming their joy, resilience, and spiritual gifts. Through astrology, embodiment, and ancestral rituals, I learned that what felt like unbearable wounds were actually portals — pathways to remembrance and power.
Now, those same wounds fuel my work. They allow me to guide others in transforming ancestral baggage into embodied wisdom, and in reconnecting with their Earth and star lineages. My sensitivity — once my shame — is now my superpower.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
An important truth I hold — one that not many people agree with — is that arguing about politics, race, and trauma online (or anywhere, really) is a fast track to despair. Fighting fire with fire doesn’t heal; it just feeds the flames and makes people dig their heels in deeper.
I know this is controversial, especially as someone who still does DEI work. But for me, this work is sacred and deeply personal — it’s tied to my own ancestral healing and my lived experience as a multiracial woman. And because it’s so personal, I hold very clear boundaries around how I engage.
I no longer sacrifice my peace and joy to “prove a point.” I refuse to abandon my body’s wisdom just to win an argument. Healing around these issues isn’t a shouting match — it’s spiritual work. It’s trauma repair. It’s nervous system regulation.
So while I stay informed about the world, I titrate it carefully. Because I know I cannot do the work I’m here to do if I’m constantly dysregulated and depleted. Some may see that as avoidance. I see it as sovereignty.
I will not apologize for protecting my joy. Because joy is fuel for liberation, and without it, none of us can create the future our ancestors dreamed of.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
I can say with full certainty: I’m doing what I was born to do, not what I was told to do.
Even as a child, I hated being told what to do. I was headstrong, fiery, and full of my own ideas. But underneath that fire was a deep ache: I never felt like I belonged. As a racially ambiguous, brown girl growing up in a very white world, I felt caught between identities. I never felt Black enough for the Black side of my family, Filipino enough for the Filipino side, or white enough for my friends at school. For a long time, I worked hard to prove that I belonged — to fit in, to be accepted.
That survival strategy shaped me, but it was never my truth. My real journey has been about letting go of the pressure, perfectionism, and self-doubt that weren’t mine to carry. It’s been about remembering that my sensitivity is a strength, my differences are medicine, and my ancestral lineages — both earthly and galactic — are sources of power, not shame.
Now, I’m living the path my soul chose — guiding others to break cycles, heal ancestral wounds, and awaken to their galactic origins. This isn’t just my career; it’s my calling. And it feels like coming home to myself, again and again.
