Why your horoscope never worked and how it betrayed real astrology
In this episode, I shared a short history of astrology, an introduction to chart reading, and a critique on capitalism for its production of simplified and popularized horoscopes. I explained the origin of Western astrology from ancient Babylonian, Egyptian, and Greek cultures, and how the fusing of myths, cultures, and meanings gave rise to horoscopes. I discussed the relationship between planets and zodiac signs, and what houses and aspects mean in chart reading. I also critiqued the mass produced horoscopes that simplified astrology and how it supported the capitalist system that commodified and limited the transformative powers of spirituality.

What feeling tired teaches about rest and discipline
In this episode I talked about why feeling tired matters. I talked about the bigger reasons behind why we have all been feeling tired, and ways the tiredness invites us to rethink about our system. I talked about the importance of rest and the complexity of disciplines in terms of spiritual practices. I distinguished between devotional and sacrificial disciplines, and how tiredness asks us to reflect on the performativity in our disciplines.
