How can understanding astrology support us in riding these times?

This episode brings forth a powerful way of hearing, feeling and seeing the art that astrology is. A deeply misunderstood sacred practice that Amanda is enormously passionate about. As a consulting astrologer, acutonics practitioner and artist, currently studying an MA in Art and Ecology at Goldsmiths University, Amanda anandita Simon brings the poetics of this practice out of the astrological arena into spaces where it can offer and be recognised for its contribution to join other acts of resistance. “To re-member a living relation with an ensouled cosmos, to restore and restore our dreaming heart and cultivate sensibility to subtlety - the intricacy and specificity present in each thread of our lived life.” Amanda shares.

Together we explore:

:: How to cultivate a bodily awareness that allows us to deeply touch and be touched by the world around us

:: What it means to return to the city after countryside life and how to prevent being overwhelmed by its intensity

:: What Pluto's recent transition from the Earth-based Capricorn to the Air-focused Aquarius signifies for us

:: How to understand astrology as an art and sacred practice
