Calculating Astrology Charts by Hand The Astrology Podcast 2023-04-05 | A discussion about calculating astrological charts by hand, without the use of a computer, with astrologers Catherine Urban, Patrick Watson, and Chris Brennan. In the episode we discuss how this is the first generation of astrologers in history who don't need to know how to calculate charts in order to practice astrology, what some of the advantages are of learning how to do it manually, and some related digressions about astrological certification.This isn't a full tutorial on how to calculate charts by hand, but instead it is more of a general discussion about the topic, although we do talk about what books you need in order to calculate charts manually and what each of them does.Catherine's 8-hour workshop on chart calculation:catherineurban.com/webinars-and-giftcards/chart-calculations-for-the-apocalypsePatrick's article about his journey learning how to calculate charts by hand:patrickwatsonastrology.com/should-astrologers-know-how-to-calculate-natal-charts-by-handHere are the books and resources mentioned in this episode:Simply Math: A Comprehensive Guide to Easy & Accurate Chart Calculationamzn.to/3MiX0O0The American Ephemeris 1950-2050 at Midnightamzn.to/3m7VSlCAmerican Atlasamzn.to/3zBmizoThe Michelsen Book of Tablesamzn.to/3Mk73CjThis is episode 396 of The Astrology Podcast:theastrologypodcast.com/2023/04/05/calculating-astrology-charts-by-handPlease be sure to like and subscribe! #TheAstrologyPodcast Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:03:24 The first generation of astrologers not calculating charts by hand00:06:30 How long does it take to calculate a chart by hand?00:07:55 Meditative component 00:14:20 Astrologers as mathematikoi00:16:19 Use of hand calculators00:19:50 Type of math used00:23:30 Certification processes for astrologers00:43:07 Astrology's peak in popularity and possible regulation00:49:40 Best book for chart calculation00:51:49 Reasons to learn chart calculation00:57:45 History of the ephemeris01:06:17 The fated side of astrology01:12:23 What is the sidereal day?01:14:24 Which ephemeris to use?01:22:07 Book of Tables01:30:01 Time zone atlas01:32:28 Why daylight savings exists01:34:10 Why daylight savings is annoying for astrologers01:41:21 1950's Chicago time zone issues01:44:24 Time zone database controversy 01:48:32 Longitude calculation01:49:47 Astrological Chart Calculation book01:54:53 The math isn't very hard01:56:36 Helps with understanding house division02:02:15 Midheaven02:07:54 Observational astronomy for astrologers02:12:08 Catherine's workshop and YouTube02:13:10 Patrick's article and website02:15:30 Patrons and sponsors

Hillary Clintons Birth Certificate Released The Astrology Podcast 2023-03-22 | In episode 394 astrologers Chris Brennan, Patrick Watson, and Nick Dagan Best discuss the recent release of Hillary Clinton's birth certificate, and whether it finally lays to rest a longstanding controversy in the astrological community over her true birth time.Hillary Clinton's birth time has been the subject of interest among astrologers since at least the 1990s when she became First Lady of the United States, after her husband Bill Clinton was elected President in 1992.The topic has long had an air of mystery surrounding it though, because there have been multiple conflicting birth times floating around, and much debate among astrologers over what the correct birth chart is for Hillary.The mystery and debates surrounding this issue culminated in 2016 when Hillary ran for President against Donald Trump, and many astrologers based their predictions about the outcome of the election on different proposed times for Clinton, despite the uncertainties surrounding them.Much of this was documented previously in episodes 90, 91, and 93 of The Astrology Podcast, titled 2016 US Presidential Election Birth Data Issues, Hillary Clinton's Birth Time Revisited, and Post-2016 Election Analysis and Reflections:theastrologypodcast.com/2016/09/29/2016-presidential-election-birth-data-issuestheastrologypodcast.com/2016/10/22/hillary-clintons-birth-time-revisitedtheastrologypodcast.com/2016/11/15/post-2016-election-analysis-and-reflectionsThis month some of those questions were finally resolved when Hillary reached a certain age where her birth certificate became a matter of public record, and astrologers obtained an original copy that contains her birth time.The birth certificate was posted on AstroDatabank on March 2, 2023 by data collector Viktor E:astro.com/astro-databank/Clinton,_HillaryWhile in some ways the recorded birth time resolves a number of longstanding debates, although it may also raise other questions, as we discuss in the episode.This is episode 394 of The Astrology Podcast:theastrologypodcast.com/2023/03/21/hillary-clintons-birth-certificate-releasedDon't forget to like and subscribe! #TheAstrologyPodcast Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:01:10 Background on the debate about Hillary Clinton's birth time00:04:44 Scorpio rising 8:00 AM chart history00:10:54 When Chris asked Hillary for her birth time00:14:20 Gemini rising 8:00 PM chart00:16:26 Leo rising chart00:22:20 2016 Washington Post article about Hillary's birth time00:26:10 How Hillary's birth certificate was obtained00:30:50 Hillary's correct Gemini rising chart00:36:15 Hillary's first Mars retrograde in Gemini in 196000:38:35 Mars retrograde in Gemini in 197500:40:45 Mars retrograde in Cancer in 199200:48:05 Mars retrograde in 200800:52:53 Why rectification is difficult for public figures00:56:00 Why Nick thought Gemini rising was correct in 200901:01:40 When Patrick asked John Kerry for his birth time01:06:28 Zodiacal releasing for the Scorpio rising chart01:09:28 Zodiacal releasing for the Gemini rising chart01:26:33 Saturn, Mars, and Pluto in Hillary's Leo third house01:30:20 Wrong 2016 election predictions01:33:42 Debate about the time on the birth certificate01:44:35 Zodiacal releasing for the Leo rising chart01:47:16 Transits that support the Gemini rising time01:49:33 Lessons learned from the birth time debacle02:01:08 Nick's videos on synodic cycles02:01:39 Patrick's website and consults02:03:47 Patrons and sponsors

Celebrating the Birthday of Vettius Valens The Astrology Podcast 2023-02-11 | Episode 388 is a recording of an hour long webinar where we celebrated the life and work of the 2nd century astrologer Vettius Valens last Wednesday, to mark the occasion of his 1903rd birthday.The webinar was hosted by Jenn Zahrt of the CAELi Institute, which is an astrological research library that is available to the public in Olympia, Washington.Last year Jenn helped me to publish a print translation of Valens by Mark Riley, and this was the first time the entire Anthology had appeared in print in English.During the course of this episode we talk about Valens’ life and work, and then we also answer some questions from a live audience that attended that day.Since this episode was recorded right in the middle of the week where there were a lot of discussions about Vettius Valens in connection to debates about house division, that was addressed as well. See the previous episodes 386 and 387 for more context about that debate:youtube.com/watch?v=01IFZSjAoP0I wanted to release this recording because it represents part of the discussions that week, and may help to contribute some pieces to people’s understanding of the 2nd century astrologer who has recently become one of the major focal points of that discussion.Sadly this week another major thing that happened is that a huge earthquake hit Turkey and Syria, and one of the towns that was devastated was the birthplace of Vettius Valens, a city named Antakya, Turkey, which is the ancient city of Antioch.There are a number of charities that have been set up in order to help fund the earthquake relief efforts, and I’ve already made a donation, and I encourage all of my viewers and listeners to find a charity and donate some funds for the relief efforts if you can.Donate to Turkey and Syria Earthquake Relief EffortsHere is a link to a page with some resources for reputable organizations you can donate to in order to help the people of Turkey and Syria:reddit.com/r/Turkey/comments/10w7nbc/how_to_help_turkey_earthquake_fundraisersThe one I researched and decided to donate to was this one:events.softgiving.com/donate/HasanAbiForTurkeySyriaEarthquakesFundCAELi InstituteFind out more about Jenn's Celestial arts Education Library:https://caeli.instituteThis is episode 388 of The Astrology Podcast:theastrologypodcast.com/2023/02/11/celebrating-the-birthday-of-vettius-valensThanks for watching!#TheAstrologyPodcast

Is Astrology Inherently Predictive? The Astrology Podcast 2023-01-29 | Astrologer Chris Brennan discusses whether astrology is inherently predictive, with science journalist Abi Millar. This is a clip from episode 383 of The Astrology Podcast titled Explaining Astrology to a Skeptic: youtube.com/watch?v=C2LsqdSZjKw
Explaining Astrology to a Skeptic The Astrology Podcast 2023-01-22 | An interview between astrologer Chris Brennan and science journalist Abi Millar, where Abi asks some questions about astrology from the perspective of someone who is skeptical but open-minded about the subject.Abi is in the process of writing a book titled The Spirituality Gap, which will explore a range of spiritual practices and examine how people make sense of life in the modern world, and how this can be understood within the context of a scientific mindset.As a science reporter, Abi was approaching the subject of astrology from more of a skeptical perspective, but said that she hoped to maintain a balance between skepticism and open-mindedness.She asked to interview me for a chapter in the book that is going to be on astrology, and I agreed under the condition that I could record and release the discussion as an episode of the podcast.I thought this would be a good opportunity to record an episode talking with someone who is skeptical but curious about astrology, and demonstrate how I would personally answer some of the questions about astrology that naturally come up in that context.In some ways it is a continuation of a similar approach that I took in episode 288, which was titled Explaining Astrology to Non-Astrologers, and if you enjoy this episode then I’d recommend checking that one out as well:youtube.com/watch?v=KG3ETNYNTXsThis is episode 383 of The Astrology Podcast: theastrologypodcast.com/2023/01/22/explaining-astrology-to-a-skepticTimestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:01:46 Abbi Millar's book00:02:36 How Chris discovered astrology00:05:10 Cosmology that underlies astrology00:07:18 Is astrology a science?00:09:10 Astronomy and astrology00:12:00 Why astrology fell out of favor00:19:33 Causal mechanism of astrology00:22:11 Does Chris believe astrology works?00:24:04 Confirmation bias00:30:37 Astrological studies00:35:19 The focus of Chris' work00:36:22 Is astrology predictive?00:46:18 Predictions for the next few years00:52:23 Fate and free will00:56:02 Value of studying historical basis of astrology01:03:00 How astronomical discoveries have impacted astrology01:05:08 The 13th zodiac sign01:10:45 Rise in popularity of astrology01:19:52 Decline in skepticism01:27:30 Is astrology a spiritual practice01:30:26 Biggest misconceptions about astrology01:36:48 Richard Tarnas01:38:11 Difficulties in going public with one's interest in astrology01:43:43 Patrons and sponsors

Intergenerational Healing Through Astrology The Astrology Podcast 2022-11-25 | Astrologer Aerin Fogel joins the podcast to discuss using astrology as a tool for healing intergenerational traumas.We dealt with some kind of heavy topics in this episode, since the focus was talking about healing trauma, but it ended up being an extremely fascinating and wide ranging discussion.Much of our focus was on the emerging field of epigenetics, and the notion that major traumas can be passed down through generations, and how this might have parallels with astrology through specific astrological signatures.We talked about Aerin's personal connection to this topic because she comes from a family of Holocaust survivors, and later talked about the history and some of the signatures associated with that, as well as with the field of epigenetic research in general.We also spent a lot of time talking about myths and how they connect to astrology, and contain deeper archetypal truths that can sometimes describe family dynamics and traumas, as well as how they can be helpful in the process of healing some of these traumas.For more information about Aerin visit her website:aerinfogel.comThis is episode 377 of The Astrology Podcast:theastrologypodcast.com/2022/11/24/intergenerational-healing-through-astrologySupport the podcast through Patreon:patreon.com/astrologypodcastPlease be sure to like and subscribe! #TheAstrologyPodcast
The Uranus Return of the United States The Astrology Podcast 2022-11-19 | A deep dive into the Uranus returns of the United states, looking at how the transit of Uranus in Gemini has worked out for the country in three distinct periods in American history and what that may mean for the future, with astrologers Nick Dagan Best and Chris Brennan.The planet Uranus spends about 7 years in each sign of the zodiac, and it takes about 84 years to make a complete cycle and return to where it started.Astrologers have long noted that Uranus was transiting through Gemini during three distinct periods in American history: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II.This correlation between important conflicts in the past is important today because Uranus is again getting ready to return to Gemini starting in 2025, and then transiting through that sign all the way through 2032.In this episode I sat down with Nick for a detailed conversation about those three previous periods in American history, in order to see just how close the previous correlations with Uranus transits have been, and also so that we could try to gain some insights about what may be coming up in the future.Nick wrote a book about this topic in 2013 titled Uranus USA, which was recently re-released as a PDF ebook:theastrologypodcast.com/uranususaFor more about Nick visit his website:nickdaganbestastrologer.comThis is episode 376 of The Astrology Podcast: theastrologypodcast.com/2022/11/18/the-uranus-return-of-the-united-statesPatreon: patreon.com/astrologypodcastTimestamps:00:00:00 Intro 00:02:10 Overview of the history of Uranus transits of the USA00:06:31 American Revolutionary War 1775-178300:08:40 Tensions in the years prior to the war00:32:46 Declaration of Independence 177600:38:47 Patrick Henry00:41:10 US Sibley chart00:43:41 Remaining years of the Revolutionary War00:45:40 Discovery of Uranus in 178100:48:30 Articles of Confederation00:56:28 George Washington01:01:00 The state of the country prior to the Civil War01:03:51 Harriet Beecher Stowe01:09:51 John Brown01:12:34 Frederick Douglass01:14:41 Lincoln-Douglas debates01:18:34 Abraham Lincoln 01:27:18 Recurrence transits01:29:14 Mars-Uranus and style of war01:39:30 Civil War 186301:43:01 Gettysburg Address01:52:08 Civil War 1864-65 and Lincoln's re-election01:56:01 End of the Civil War and Lincoln's assassination02:01:18 Jefferson Davis02:03:42 Nick's Uranus USA book02:07:15 Aftermath of Civil War02:12:06 Lead up to WWII02:41:40 USA and Britain in WWII parallel to American Revolution02:43:00 Winston Churchill02:45:50 Japanese story02:54:40 WWII 1942 USA involvement02:59:10 Franklin Roosevelt03:06:20 End of WWII and aftermath03:12:12 USA Uranus return #1 vs. #203:18:10 Second half of 1940's03:23:56 Uranus in other countries03:27:17 Uranus in Gemini USA presidents03:28:25 Themes leading up to next USA Uranus return starting in 202503:49:00 Uranus cycles - squares and opposition03:51:40 Mars-Uranus conjunction in the Sibley chart04:01:30 Proxy wars04:06:40 Tensions in USA04:10:00 Importance of mundane astrology04:12:18 Nick's Uranus USA book on PDF04:13:14 Nick's website and YouTube04:14:43 Patrons and sponsors

The Anthology of Vettius Valens The Astrology Podcast 2022-10-17 | A discussion about the life and work of the second century astrologer Vettius Valens, and a new translation of his Anthology that they just published, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Jenn Zahrt.Valens is one of our most important sources for understanding the practice of ancient astrology, because he wrote one of the longest texts on Hellenistic astrology that survives, and he included more than 100 example charts to demonstrate how the techniques work in practice.In 2010 a classics scholar named Mark Riley released an unfinished PDF of a translation that he made of Valens' Anthology online for free, and this has become the main source that many astrologers and academics use to read Valens today.However, because the translation wasn't finished, Mark didn't include diagrams in the text to illustrate Valens' chart examples, and there were also some important chapters that were not completed.The absence of illustrations in the text made it much harder for students to read Valens and understand what he was talking about with his chart examples.That is why, with Mark's permission, Chris has just published a new print version of his translation of Valens that includes diagrams every time a chart example is introduced.We also completed chapters that were unfinished, and corrected a number of typos, making this edition more definitive.The final book is 440 pages long, and it includes a 50 page survey of Valens' Anthology that was written by Mark, which gets into some really interesting stuff about the chronology of Valens' life. Chris also wrote a foreword for the book.The book has just been released yesterday, October 16, 2022, and you can order it through online retailers such as Amazon or Barnes & Noble.The Anthology of Vettius Valens on Amazon:amazon.com/Anthology-Vettius-Valens/dp/0998588911Find out more about Jenn's astrological library and institute:https://caeli.instituteThis is episode 372 of The Astrology Podcast:theastrologypodcast.com/2022/10/17/the-anthology-of-vettius-valensOur Patreon for early access to new episodes and other bonus content:patreon.com/astrologypodcastPlease be sure to like and subscribe!#TheAstrologyPodcastTimestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:02:05 Who was Vettius Valens?00:03:24 History of Valens' anthology 00:07:25 Ptolemy vs. Valens00:11:32 Chart examples included in the text00:15:42 Other translations of the Anthology00:28:50 Valens' natal chart00:42:26 Visual of the new book00:45:02 Book 1: Planets and zodiac significations00:46:13 Book 2: Significations of houses, lots, and triplicity rulers00:49:47 Book 3: Length of life technique00:53:44 Books 4-6: Time-lord techniques01:09:17 Book 7: Planetary periods and ascensional times01:10:14 Book 8: Elaborate length of life technique01:10:43 Book 9: Derived houses, other miscellaneous topics01:16:08 How to order the book01:17:15 Jenn's role in the book01:18:48 Other contributors01:20:11 Revelore Press01:22:00 Importance of publishing books and libraries01:27:24 Celestrial Arts Education Library01:37:18 Patrons and sponsors
