Episode 115

The sixth and final episode in a series featuring religious studies scholar Angela Voss, exploring the history and nature of astrology. We continue to discuss misunderstandings surrounding the ancient Greek notion of eros, leading on to Angela talking about the true function of astrology as a consciousness-raising (rather than predictive) phenomenon. She provides a practical example of how she would apply it in her life, explaining certain astrological concepts in the process. Aristole's "Four Causes" get a mention, in particular the way in which modern scientific culture focuses entirely on two (material, efficient) and rejects the second two (formal, final).
