Listen "The Stars Ascending"
Episode Synopsis
Open almost any newspaper and you’ll find your horoscope. But this form of Western astrology has a long and complex history. It began thousands of years ago in Mesopotamia before European settlers brought it to North America, where they used it in farming and for answering questions. In this episode, we learn how astrology has survived and evolved in the United States and ask: is astrology a science or pseudoscience? Magic or art? Psychological tool or a divination method? The answer might just be like the stars: all of the above. Featuring Nicholas Campion, Tres Henry, Michael York, and Jake Zukowski.
