In episode 489, astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim discuss their views on astrology, fate, and destiny.
This is part of a new series exploring our personal perspective on the philosophy of astrology, particularly the relevance of some ancient Stoic concepts related to fate and determinism.
While most episodes of the podcast tend to be more technically oriented, the purpose of this series is to begin to articulate some of the philosophical and spiritual views we have developed from our practice of astrology.
