In episode 426, astrologer Madeline DeCoats joins Chris in studio for a wide-ranging discussion about astrology, covering eclipses, fate and free will, and the future of astrological research.
We open the episode by discussing a busy month of astrology with eclipses and world events, the significance of eclipses in ancient times, and the origins of astrology.
We also explore the broader theme of negative transits and how tragic events can sometimes lead to positive outcomes or new beginnings. The talk explores the nature of transits and how their manifestations may not always be immediately obvious, but can have a lasting impact on our lives.
The discussion also touches on personalized almanacs created by the Honeycomb Collective, which provides personalized astrological information and transits. Madeline shares her expertise in communication and information design and how she aims to make astrology more accessible and digestible through visualization and simplified information.
We then explore the different approaches and traditions in astrology, as well as the challenges new students face in navigating the wide range of resources available.
The chapter concludes with a thought-provoking discussion of the implications and outlook of astrological science. We contrast the idea that the universe is alive and full of meaning and symbolism with the modern scientific view of a dead and meaningless universe.
We also discuss the tension between fate and free will, and how astrology can provide comfort and guidance in overcoming life’s challenges. The talk concludes with a look at the future of astrology research and the potential for innovation in the study of personal charts and experiences.
