In episode 404 astrologers Stella and Cameron of the Mercuranians podcast stop by the studio for a casual chat about astrology with Chris.
Stella and Cameron were on their way back from the Northwest Astrological Conference in Seattle when they came through Denver on a road trip back home, so we decided to meet up a record a conversation where we talked about a bunch of different astrological topics.
During the course of the discussion we touched on topics like changes to the astrological community in the past 30 years, how newer astrologers deal with an overabundance of resources for learning astrology, and the role of chance and fortune in astrology.

Enjoyed this podcast! I particularly liked Cameron’s comments about planets in detriment, where Mars is a brute at Libra’s dinner party and Mercury is the clown in Jupiter’s sacred temple of Sagittarius. I think an episode about planets in detriment using these comparisons would be interesting.
