This week we speak to professional astrologer, educator and fellow podcaster, Chris Brennan. Chris hosts <a href= "http://theastrologypodcast.com/">The Astrology Podcast</a> and is the author of the recently released book Hellenistic Astrology. As you would expect, our wide ranging chat covers astrology's Babylonian and Egyptian origins, how it was used in the ancient world, how previous cultures conceived of it and how these conceptions changed over the intervening millennia. We also talk about how one might use some of these recently-rediscovered methods and whether or not astrology is in another golden age. Great stuff.
