In Episode 360, astrologer Nick Dagan Best joins Chris Brennan in studio in Denver to talk about his work in astrology, including research on Uranus retrogrades in the United States, Venus retrograde cycles, and more.
Nick flew to Denver July 7-11, 2022 and this was the first in a series of episodes we recorded. Most of the episodes were biographical and told about Nick’s life and career in astrology.
We spent most of the episode talking about the upcoming Uranus Return of the United States when Uranus moves into Gemini from 2025-2033 and how this ties in with the previous two Uranus Returns that coincided with the Civil War and World War II.
Later in the episode, we talked about Nick’s important new research on tracking Venus retrograde cycles and creating a new model for classifying different sequences.
