Turning of the Wheel Geometry of Astrology
Whether we stop to examine the precision of an eclipse in which the Moon at 250,000 miles away from earth blocks the Sun which is 93 million miles away or whether we see the perfect 5-pointed star that Venus makes as it circles the cosmos we can not deny the presence of geometry in our world. Even the angles we use to gauge the impact of a transit are also based on precise degree patterns of 60, 90, 120, and 180 degrees. These and countless other alignments are the very basis of astrology and allow us to understand the greater logic at work with the cosmos. In this segment, your host and astrologer, Chris Flisher discusses this topic with fellow astrologer and author, Arielle Guttman.
