Significations of the Twelve Houses – Part 2: Houses 7–12

In episode 233 astrologers Kelly Surtees, Austin Coppock, and Chris Brennan get back together in the studio for the second of our two part series on the significations of the houses, this time focusing on the meanings of houses 7 through 12. In part 1 of our series on the significations of the twelve houses in astrology we spent a lot of time in the beginning talking about different conceptual structures underlying the meanings of the houses, whereas in this episode we just jump right in to talking about the 7th house. At the beginning we talk a little bit about the more public nature of the houses in the upper hemisphere, as well as how the interrelationship between opposing houses starts becoming more clear from the 7th house forward. Some of the core significations we talk about for each of the houses: 7th house: relationships, partnership, marriage, the "other" (as opposed to "self") 8th house: death, inheritance, assets of others, partner's finances 9th house: travel, foreign things, education, religion 10th house: career, actions, reputation, public life 11th house: friends, groups, alliances, hopes 12th house: enemies, sickness, loss, seclusion   This episode is available in both audio and video versions below.

December 2019 Astrology Forecast: Jupiter in Capricorn

In episode 232 astrologers Kelly Surtees, Austin Coppock, and Chris Brennan meet up in the studio to give an overview of the astrological forecast for December of 2019, which features Jupiter moving into Capricorn at the start of a one year transit through that sign. This month's forecast also features a solar eclipse in Capricorn, a Venus-Saturn-Pluto conjunction, and a comparatively light Full Moon in Gemini. This episode was record in person in our studio in Denver, during Austin and Kelly's week long trip around the third week of November. Our experiment last month worked out so well with doing the forecast segment first and then the discussion later that we decided to make that a permanent thing from now on. In the first part of the episode we focus on the astrological forecast for December, then there is a break and Leisa Schaim joins us to talk about this month's auspicious electional chart, and then after that we transition into some casual discussion topics. The main discussion topic we focused on at the end was how old Kelly and Austin were when they first started doing consultations, and whether they think that an aspiring astrologer should wait until their Saturn return, which was a controversial discussion topic that we covered earlier this month in episode 229 titled Practicing Astrology Before Your Saturn Return. This episode was recorded with a live audience of patrons who joined us through our monthly webinar format, which is one of the benefits of supporting the production of the show through The Astrology Podcast page on Patreon.

Significations of the Twelve Houses – Part 1: Houses 1–6

In episode 231 astrologers Kelly Surtees, Austin Coppock, and Chris Brennan begin the first of a two part series on the meanings of the twelve houses, starting with houses 1 through 6. At the beginning of the episode we review some basic conceptual structures that are necessary for understanding how the houses got their meanings, such as the concepts of angularity, good and bad houses, and the planetary joys. After that beginning material is out of the way, we begin by talking about the first house and what it means within the context of natal astrology, followed by the rest of the houses in zodiacal order. We don't really deal with the issue of house division much in this episode, since that was covered partially in a recent episode on the origins of the different forms of house division in astrology. This is the first of a two part series, and the rest of the houses will be dealt with in part 2 on houses 7 through 12, which should be released sometime next month. Patrons of the podcast will get early access to the episode, among other benefits. This is a followup to our previous episodes on other foundational concepts in astrology, where we talked about the significations of the seven traditional planets, and the meanings of the zodiac signs. This was the first episode that we recorded when we got together in Denver last week to record a bunch of episodes in person in our studio. The rest of the episodes will be released slowly over the course of the next month. This episode is available in both audio and video versions below. Meanings of the First Six Houses Here are some of the significations of the first six houses we touch on in this episode: 1st house: self, body, character, appearance 2nd house: finances, possessions, income 3rd house: siblings, short trips, school, communication 4th house: parents, home, family, private life 5th house: children, creativity, pleasure, sex 6th house: illness, injuries, work, subordinates   For the rest of the houses see Significations of the Houses – Part 2: Houses 7–12.

Relationship Astrology for Modern Times, with Jessica Lanyadoo

In episode 230 astrologer Jessica Lanyadoo joins the podcast to talk about astrology and relationships, and some of the work she has done in adapting the subject to the realities and sensibilities of modern times. Jessica is the host of the popular Ghost of a Podcast, and is the author of the forthcoming book Astrology for Real Relationships: Understanding You, Me, and How We All Get Along. In the first part of the show we sat down to talk about her new book, and to address the question of if astrology is always a reflection of the culture, social sensibilities, and time period in which it is practiced, then in what ways did astrology need to change recently in order to adapt to the sensibilities of practitioners living in modern western times? Later in the show we answer some questions about astrology and relationships that were sent in by listeners. This episode is available in both audio and video versions below. Relationship Astrology Questions Here are some of the questions we answered from listeners, most of which came from Twitter: Catherine Urban (@AstroCatherine): Sometimes couples think it would be fun to get a reading together. Thoughts? Diana Rose (@ddamascenaa): WHEN is it actually beneficial to look at a beloved's birth chart, synastry, composite, etc.? I feel like a lot of people will pre-emptively investigate these things -- like before the first date -- and end up making wildly incorrect assumptions before they've even met. Advice Astrologer (@AdvAstrologer): I would love to know what you guys prefer to use (Davison or composite) and why. I'm [also] curious about what you all think of, "twin flames," … Richelle Steyn (@roshbon): How to identify and navigate ‘soul mates’ and karmic relationships. Rob Bailey (@oldschoolastro): How do you feel about the concept of “sister signs” as it pertains to relationship astrology or synastry? Allyse (@ayyy_lease): What is the biggest mistake most people make with relationship astrology? What are the common place myths that too many people fall for? MagicalForge (@OfHadad): Manifestations of relationship inequities in "knowing someone" when an astrologer/student studies the chart of a potential partner before they form a deep relationship. (@astrogrIz): I would love to hear more about relationships in astrology specifically looking at queer relationships! This is more of a topic than a question but I hope they are able to touch a bit on it Ash Bash (@astro_ashley11): Marriage elections! 721 (@ayanatheoracle): Could you talk about the history of whoever decided that astrological compatibility was strictly based on the element of the sun sign chelsea (@aeslehcothtrae): i’m curious about what is in store for those folks entering their saturn return single, in regards to relationships! should we avoid dating? or do you have any tips/suggestions for dating during your saturn return?

Practicing Astrology Before Your Saturn Return

In episode 229 of the podcast, astrologers Leisa Schaim and Chris Brennan discuss whether age is a relevant prerequisite for practicing astrology, and if it is ok to read charts for clients prior to your Saturn return. The premise of the discussion is that a debate comes up occasionally in the astrological community over how old a person should be to do consultations. Usually astrologers start off by reading charts for friends and family members for free early in their studies, and then eventually the process of starting to charge for astrological readings is seen as a major step or transition point in one's path as an astrologer. Since astrology is a largely unregulated field, each astrologer ultimately has to decide on their own when they are ready to start seeing clients. When this topic is discussed among professionals, lots of different criteria are usually suggested for determining when a person is “ready”, and occasionally age is put forward as a potential piece of criteria or a requirement for practicing. This piece of criteria is then sometimes proposed as a sort of rule or prohibition: that astrologers shouldn’t see clients either until they have reached or potentially only after they have completed their Saturn return, which occurs between the ages of 27 and 30. While this rule is not generally accepted in the astrological community, as a proposal it sometimes elicits strong reactions from younger astrologers, since it would essentially mean that astrologers can’t or shouldn't do consultations until their 30s. A debate about this recently broke out on Twitter, and the goal of this episode was to talk about the general topic, without necessarily focusing on the recent debate itself. It is an interesting topic that comes up in the community from time to time, and in some ways it has become more relevant again recently after the large influx of younger astrologers into the community over the past few years. As a former 20-something astrologer and past President of the Association for Young Astrologers, Chris has a strong opinion that astrologers should be able to practice astrology in their 20s, although the goal with this discussion was to try to explore and present some of the pros and cons on both sides of the issue.

November 2019 Astrology Forecast: Last of Jupiter in Sag

Episode 228 features astrologers Kelly Surtees, Austin Coppock, and Chris Brennan talking about the astrological forecast for November of 2019, which is the last full month of Jupiter transiting through Sagittarius. November also features Mercury retrograde in Scorpio most of the month, an exact Saturn-Neptune sextile, and lunations in Taurus and Sagittarius. We decided to switch things up this month and do the forecast portion of the episode first, and then some other miscellaneous discussion topics on astrology later. That way people who only want to listen to the forecast can just listen to the first part of the episode and not need to search for time stamps. After the forecast we talk about Austin and Kelly's upcoming trip to Denver to record some episodes in person, Chris' realization that the word "antithesis" is an almost perfect translation of the Greek word that was originally used to refer to what later became known as the sign of a planet's "detriment", what signifies the mind, and whether we are living in a simulated reality. This episode is available in both audio and video versions below.

Origins of the House Division Debate in Ancient Astrology

Episode 227 of the podcast is a lecture by Chris Brennan on the origins of the house division debate in ancient astrology, where I present my reconstruction of how the different approaches to house division came about in the Hellenistic tradition 2000 years ago. The premise of the discussion is that we know as modern astrologers that there are many different forms of house division today, but how did this come to be the case? We can understand the issue better by going back to the beginning of the tradition and seeing how it started, and this may also provide us with some tools for resolving the problem today. In this talk I try to answer some questions such as: Which systems of house division were used in antiquity? Were some approaches to house division more popular than others? How did ancient astrologers reconcile different approaches to house division? This episode partially results from a series of debates and discussions that have occurred over the past few years regarding the issue of house division in ancient astrology, beginning with episode 52 titled Whole Sign Houses: The Best System of House Division, which was then followed by episode 54 with Deborah Houlding titled The Debate About Ancient Systems of House Division. The debate with Houlding then prompted Robert Schmidt to release his own audio recording on the house division issue in June of 2016. In the summer of 2016 I was in the process of finishing my book on ancient astrology, and I ended up writing a longer and more detailed treatment of the house division issue than I originally intended, which became chapter 11 of my book Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune. I subsequently presented a summarized version of that chapter in two lectures, first at the Northwest Astrology Conference in Seattle in May of 2017, and then at the United Astrology Conference in Chicago in May of 2018. This podcast is a slightly expanded version of the same lecture, which is essentially a summary of chapter 11 of my book. For those that are interested in going further into this topic, I would highly recommend reading that chapter of my book, since I was able to go into more detail and give more references in writing than I could in this lecture. My goal in releasing this lecture is that, together with the chapter I wrote on the subject in my book, this fully outlines my current understanding of how the house division issue developed, as well as much of the evidence that those views are based on. My hope is that this will help to set a new foundation for some of the discussions about house division in the future, and perhaps suggest some possible paths forward for reconciling the different approaches. This episode is available in both audio and video versions below. PowerPoint Slides Here is a PDF file with all of the PowerPoint slides used in the lecture: Origins of the House Division Debate Slides The same slides are used in the video version, although I include them here since it provides a nice outline of the talk.

Is Astrology Antithetical to Christianity?

In episode 226 astrologer Nate Craddock joins the show to discuss the early history of Christianity and its relationship with astrology. Specifically, we focus on the question of whether astrology is somehow inherently antithetical to Christianity, especially in terms of the origins of the religion during the time of the Roman Empire. Nate is a practicing astrologer, as well as an ordained Christian priest with a degree in divinity. You can find out more information about his work on his website: SoulFriendAstrology.com The jumping off point for our discussion was the work of a scholar named Nicola Denzey Lewis, and her 2013 book Cosmology and Fate in Gnosticism and Graeco-Roman Antiquity. Part of the purpose of the book is demonstrating how a number of influential early Christian texts framed the religion as a way to liberate yourself from astrology and fate. Astrology in the 1st century CE tended to be more deterministic and influenced by Stoic conceptualizations of fate, and to some extent Christianity may represent one of many religious or philosophical groups in the ancient world that offered an alternative, which may then explain part of its initial appeal to everyday individuals in the Roman Empire. This then set up a sort of oppositional relationship between astrology and mainstream Christianity for a number of centuries, although it raises the question for us today of whether the two are inherently incompatible, or if there are ways that they can be reconciled? Nate's answer to this question is emphatically "yes, they can be reconciled", and during the course of the discussion we ended up covering a lot of ground, and exploring a number of different historical and theological areas. This episode represents an important followup to earlier episodes of the podcast discussing responses to religious criticisms of astrology, the role of astrology in the story of the Star of Bethlehem, as well as a brief digression about the purpose of finding the guardian spirit about 2 hours into the episode on finding the overall ruler of the birth chart. For those who enjoy this discussion, you would also like Nate's podcast Jailbreak the Sacred. This episode is available in both audio and video versions below.

Helena Avelar and Luís Ribeiro on Traditional Astrology

Episode 225 features an interview with Helena Avelar and Luís Ribeiro about their work on traditional astrology, and their two books on the subject. Helena and Luís live in Portugal, and are the authors of the 2010 book On the Heavenly Spheres: A Treatise on Traditional Astrology, which is a comprehensive introduction to traditional, pre-20th century forms of astrology. This was one of the first really good introductory books that came out after the revival of traditional forms of astrology over the past 30 years, and I recommend it on my list of the best astrology books for beginners. They recently released a second book titled Traditional Astrology Course: Essential Concepts and Interpretation Basics, which acts as a companion volume to their first book, and helps to supplement and expand on some of the concepts. During the course of the interview we talk about how Helena and Luís got into traditional astrology, some of the philosophy behind it, and discuss what went in to writing the books. We also discuss some of the academic work they have been doing on the history of astrology over the past decade, and their recent PhD dissertations on the subject. You can find out more information about Helena and Luis on their website: AcademiaDeAstrologia.com This episode is available in both audio and video versions below. The Tradition Journal Helena and Luís edited a journal on traditional astrology from 2008–2010 called The Tradition: Journal of Western Predictive Astrology. The website for the journal has been discontinued, and their own website is currently under construction, but they gave me permission to re-post the four issues of the journal that they produced here. The Tradition journal - Volume 1 The Tradition journal - Volume 2 The Tradition journal - Volume 3 The Tradition journal - Volume 4 These issues are a goldmine for work on traditional astrology, and I thought it would be good to share them here to help familiarize newer students with some of the work that Helena and Luís have done.
