In episode 333, Kent Bye of the Voices of the VR Podcast joins me in the studio to talk about virtual reality and how it relates to astrology, as well as how astrologers will use and integrate virtual worlds in the future.
During the episode, we talk about the history of technology and what major turning points historically coincided with the major outer planets in the past.
We also spend some time talking about the future, some upcoming exoplanet trends and predictions about astrology and virtual reality.
Kent wrote an article on astrology and virtual reality in 2017 Archae magazine Archetypal cycles of virtual reality.
This episode was partly prompted by recent discussions about the Metaverse over the past year, as well as Facebook’s announcement in October that it was changing its name to Meta when Jupiter and Saturn were direct in Aquarius.
Kent flew to Denver for a few days to record this interview, as well as another interview on artificial intelligence, which will be released as an episode of The Astrology Podcast next month, and this episode culminated in a 5-hour wide-ranging discussion in which we covered many areas related to astrology and technology.
Below are timestamps so you can see the different topics we’ve covered.
