Down to Astro From Demure to Disruptive: The “It Ends with Us” Press Tour, the Gen Z Revolution, & the DNC
Episode 10
In this podcast, professional astrologers Chani Nicholas and Thea Anderson look to the sky to make sense of what’s happening here on Earth.
This episode brings you into the astrological group chat to catch up on how recent transits have manifested in current events, including the Democratic National Convention. We cover all the major headlines: the swell of hope (and hype) for the Harris–Walz ticket, the hypocritical exclusion of Palestinian delegates during the DNC, the parallels between the US student protests for Palestine and the “Gen Z revolution” in Bangladesh, and the chaos of the It Ends With Us press tour. Plus, we give you a preview of what to expect from eclipse season. (FYI: It’s right around the corner.)
