We open by addressing the question of whether astrology can speak to the topic of death, and talk about some of the different ways that it can, both by looking at a person’s birth chart and the charts of people who are close to them.
Eventually the conversation delves into the complexities of interpreting astrological indicators of death, as well as the need for caution, sensitivity, and ethics when discussing such topics.
The episode is meant to provide a broad exploration of the topic of astrology and mortality, highlighting the ways in which astrology can offer insights into the experience of death and the grieving process, and this lays a foundation for doing more detailed treatments of specific subtopics in future episodes.
