Summary

Episode 427 features a conversation between astrologers Madeline DeCotes and Chris Brennan about astrology and death, where we discuss the relevance of astrology in understanding and dealing with issues surrounding mortality, as well as related topics such as how astrologers cope with grief and loss. We open by addressing the question of whether astrology can speak to the topic of death, and talk about some of the different ways that it can, both by looking at a person's birth chart and the charts of people who are close to them. Eventually the conversation delves into the complexities of interpreting astrological indicators of death, as well as the need for caution, sensitivity, and ethics when discussing such topics. The episode is meant to provide a broad exploration of the topic of astrology and mortality, highlighting the ways in which astrology can offer insights into the experience of death and the grieving process, and this lays a foundation for doing more detailed treatments of specific subtopics in future episodes.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to the
0:01.9	astrology podcast. In this episode I'm going to be talking with Madeline
0:05.2	Dakota about the astrology of death. So, hey Madeline, thanks for joining me.
0:09.8	Hey Chris, that's pleasure to be here again. Yeah, so we did a little casual astrology chat yesterday in the studio,
0:17.0	and then we were just talking this morning here in Denver about the topic of death that came up.
0:22.0	There was a recent like famous celebrity death with
0:26.3	Matthew Perry there's also just been a huge amount of in the world with in the
0:32.0	Middle East and with everything a huge amount of
0:34.0	death and suffering and so more serious topics have been on my mind lately and

1:55.0	loss or who work in death or who have a familiarity in their, you know, their
2:00.8	subjective experience of life where death is a common topic it's nice to give resources to those people so that
2:08.1	Yeah, they're not you know feeling as alone as what can often happen
