Looking Skyward with Andrew B. Watt

This week, AP is joined by astrologer, poet, and teacher Andrew B. Watt for a fascinating conversation about magic, time, and the hidden mechanisms behind it all. Andrew offers services as an astrologer and consultant, building upon years of study and practice, but he and AP came to know each other through a mutual love of poetry years ago; and Andrew's forecasts and astrological writings online are a wonderful fusion of both his zodiacal and poetic talents. Getting into the nitty-gritty of what the planets tell us, Andrew has built a corpus of writings including odes, hymns, sonnets, and other poems dedicated to specific aspects of astrology- providing readers with insights that otherwise might be obscure.

In conversation, Andrew talks about where his interest in magic and astrology began; he explains a bit of modern history of astrology in western occult and popular culture, his own experiences as a consultant, how myths and legends inform our understanding of reality, and how patterns of movement in the night's sky have guided humanity for ages. If that's not enough, he talks a bit about mundane astrology and what conjunctions on larger timescales tell us about the state of the world- and where we might be headed in the near future.
