  <title>EP142 WTF IS ASTROLOGY? Divination, Prophecy, Prediction &amp;amp; Prognostication with Richard Swatton</title>
  <description>When in the mindset of reading the horoscope, we access in a different state of mind. This state allows us to be in touch with a peripheral field of information.&amp;amp;nbsp; So what exactly is it we're doing when working with astrology and how does it produce such accurate results?&amp;amp;nbsp; To quote today’s guest, Richard Swatton: “you can’t predict technique – you can have techniques of prediction but the prediction arrives in the moment” During this episode Richard and I discuss the other-worldly aspects of astrology, delving into the eighth house depths of a subject already coaxing us deeper into the realms of the subconscious. Richard has lead many different paths in this lifetime: Musician, Occultist, Psychotherapist, Astrologer and Tutor at the London School of Astrology. He is also the Author of Symbol to Substance and his new book The Horary Process: A Magical Approach to an Ancient Art, is due to be published at the end of 2023.&amp;amp;nbsp; You'll understand why I feel so blessed to have learned at the LSA when you hear how fascinating, intelligent and inspiring Richard is. Without wanting to sound like Hannibal Lecter, what I wouldn’t give for a slice of that brain...
