A discussion about how astrology can speak to the topic of death, as well as how astrologers cope with grief and loss, with astrologers Madeline DeCotes and Chris Brennan.
We open by talking about some of the different ways that astrology can speak to the topic of death, both by looking at a person's birth chart and the charts of people who are close to them.
Eventually the conversation delves into the complexities of interpreting astrological indicators of death, as well as the need for caution, sensitivity, and ethics when discussing such topics.
The episode is meant to provide a broad exploration of the topic of astrology and death, highlighting the ways in which astrology can offer insights into the experience of mortality and the grieving process, and this lays a foundation for doing more detailed treatments of specific subtopics in future episodes.
