Guest conversation today with Alice Sparkly Kat. Ace approaches astrology as an intersectional + political practice, and they want to widen our star thinking so we can build new relationships with astrology, one another + ourselves. Their new book Postcolonial Astrology, serves as a history and toolkit, decoding the planets from a postcolonial perspective, and it's now available for purchase.
We discuss —
* how Western astrology is not universal
* intersecting postcolonial thoughts + critical race theory with astrology
* the tension between imagining post-colonialism and creating a false utopia
* Saturn + power dynamics
* magic in our mundane tasks + experiences
* Queer fluidity as its own yearning
* the kinds of stories and epiphanies that show up in sessions with others
* how we mythologize gender
* the idea of Asia + the beginning of the industrial complex
