A detailed introduction to an ancient timing technique called zodiacal releasing, which divides a person's life into chapters, and helps to establish your overall life story.
Zodiacal releasing is a Hellenistic time-lord technique that was recently recovered from the work of the 2nd century astrologer Vettius Valens.
This is episode 192 of The Astrology Podcast, with Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim.
