Divination, Prophecy, Prediction & Prognostication with Richard Swatton","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.  So what exactly is it we're doing when working with astrology and how does it produce such accurate results?  To quote today\u2019s guest, Richard Swatton: \u201cyou can\u2019t predict technique \u2013 you can have techniques of prediction but the prediction arrives in the moment\u201d 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.  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\u2019t give for a slice of that brain... LOL.   How do you feel viewing astrology as a divinatory art?   TIMESTAMPS 00:01:26 About Richard | 00:05:52 Symbol to substance book | 00:07:31 The real Psychological astrology | 00:09:03 interconnectedness: music of the spheres | 00:15:05 the basis of prognostication | 00:16:46 coming of age with Saturn | 00:22:19 the unfathomable mystery of it | 00:24:47 Astrology & Mythology plus Persephone | 00:28:10 Pluto and my motherhood\/maitrescence journey | 00:34:48 Transits triggering individualtion | 00:36:59 Prediction of particulars & divination | 00:40:10 The Ogres of ancient Rome | 00:40:53 a symbolic state of mind | 00:47:33 Going deep with Sun signs alone | 00:50:26 The Appearance of symbol in substance | 00:53:04 Ptolemy's Centiloquium | 00:55:05 \u201ca shock of white hair\u201d | 00:58:26 What is inspiration?
