The History of Anti-Astrology

In episode 411 astrologers Chris Brennan, Austin Coppock, and Michael J. Morris look ahead at the astrological forecast for August 2023! This month sees the continuation of the early and middle phases of the Venus retrograde in Leo, with the Sun-Venus conjunction happening mid-month, while later in the month Mercury slows down and goes retrograde in Virgo. In the first hour of the episode we discuss the astrology of some recent stories in the news, such as the Barbie movie being released the day Venus stationed retrograde, and then in the second hour of the show we get into the forecast for August.
