Dr. José Manuel Redondo, a 5th-century philosopher, discusses Proclus, his integration of astrology with Platonism, and the connection between astrology and Plato's work. They explore topics such as Proclus's views on philosophy and theurgy, Plato and divination, Proclus's birth chart, astrology in Platonism, the decline of astrology, diamonds in astrology, the suppression of astrology by Christianity, and Plato's stance on astrology. They also discuss the continuation of the Platonic tradition, astrology and theology in late antique Platonism, and the definition of an astrologer. The hosts wrap up the discussion by talking about their future plans and promoting an upcoming webinar series on astrology.
