Hey, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to the Astrology podcast.

In this episode, I'm talking with Marcos Pratchett about medical astrology, consultation,

charts, and prognosis and prediction in the context of astrology. So, hey, welcome to the show.

Thanks, Grace. Hi.

Yeah, thanks for joining me today. So, I'm excited about this episode. This is going to be good

discussion. So, let's talk first and introduce you to my audience. So, you have a background and

specialized in Western herbal medicine and medical astrology with a focus on horary astrology

in particular, right? Yeah, exactly. So, yes. Yes. And you come partially from the lineage of the

like the Olivia Barclay School of the qualifying horary practitioner course, right?

Yes, although I'm kind of self partly self-tooled. I started off this sort of modern astrology

with the LSA London School of Astrology, who are great, and I began with them,

and then I sort of got interested in traditional astrology, sort of around 2005, 2006.

I really got into horary first, really through reading John for Alley's books, which,

you know, they're great, very controversial figure, John for Alley, but a brilliant astrologer.

And so, I sort of became, I went into traditional astrology really just sort of self-taught

for a while, and that was just a number of different factors like the school that the class times

weren't really, I couldn't really do the classes because I was working and whatever. So,

but yeah, so I'm mostly sort of like partly, so officially school taught with my beginning in

modern astrology, and then the traditional astrology sort of self-taught, really.

Cool. And that you were able to combine that in some ways, also with your interest and focus

on herbalism. Yes, exactly. And that was the major incentive for me actually learning astrology

in the first place, because I was doing a degree in Western herbal medicine at Middlesex
