What happens next? Astrology is unique among ancient occult sciences in that we have procedural texts (as well as some fascinating artefacts!) which give us a pretty solid glimpse into what must have gone on in an ancient astrological consultation. It’s the first century and I am visiting an astrologer with my newborn baby to get its chart read. We take a look at the practicalities of ancient astrology.We look at the fourfold typology for Hellenistic astrology laid out in Chris’ book (see below), discussing the implications of each of the four components of the schema.We cover basic terminology – how do you tell your natal astrology from your inceptional astrology?.But it would be silly to interview an experienced astrologer like Chris Brennan without taking full advantage of his expertise, so a lot of material is covered which makes this episode an excellent introduction to technical astrological matters more generally.
In this episode we discuss the nitty-gritty of Hellenistic astrology, trying to get at how it might have actually been practised in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Download audio file (mp3) The right -hand side of the diptych sketched above.
