Astrology Chat with Madeline DeCotes

Madeline DeCotes joins Chris Brennan for a wide-ranging discussion about astrology that covers eclipses, fate vs. free will, and the future of astrological research.

We open the episode by discussing the intense past month of astrology with eclipses and world events, the significance of eclipses in ancient times, and the origins of astrology.

We also explore the broader topic of negative transits, and how tragic events can sometimes lead to positive outcomes or new beginnings. The conversation delves into the nature of transits and how their manifestation may not always be immediately obvious, but can have long-lasting effects on our lives.

The discussion also touches on the personalized almanacs created by the Honeycomb Collective, which provide individualized astrological information and transits. Madeline shares her background in communication and information design, and how she aims to make astrology more accessible and digestible through visualizations and simplified data.

Later we explore the different approaches and traditions in astrology, and the challenges faced by new students in navigating the vast array of resources available.

The episode concludes with a thought-provoking discussion on the implications of astrology and its worldview. We explore the idea that the universe is alive and imbued with meaning and symbolism, contrasting it with the modern scientific view of a dead and meaningless universe.

We also touch on the tension between fate and free will, and how astrology can provide comfort and guidance in navigating life's challenges. The conversation ends with a glimpse into the future of astrology research and the potential for innovation in studying personal charts and experiences.
