In this episode I'm going to be talking with Dr. Nicholas Campion from the University of Wales

Trinity St David about the revival of the practice of astrology in the early 20th century.

Nick, welcome to the show.

It's great to be here, Chris.

Thanks for having me.

Yeah, thanks a lot for coming on the show.

I really appreciate it.

In my last episode, we actually, I did an interview with a friend about the life and work of the famous 20th century astrologer Dane Rudyard and we talked about his work in reviving astrology in the 20th century, but in order to do that, we had to briefly sort of gloss over the fact that there was a decline of astrology from the 17th century onwards, and then we couldn't really spend much time talking about

and contextualizing the revival of astrology in the 20th century why it needed to be

revived or indeed how that happens.

So I thought that you would be a great person to talk to because you're essentially the

foremost historian on the history of astrology, both Western astrology as well as just astrology as a practice in the world in general at this point, I think, right?

Yes, I've got many friends and colleagues who probably specialize much more in areas in which they are the

undoubted experts, but I think my particular contribution is to draw together strands and themes from the entire history of astrology and look at the big picture.

Yeah, and I really appreciate your work because your work on the history of astrology and some of your books, especially one of your early books,

astrology history and apocalypse actually ignited my interest and my love in studying the history of astrology over the years.
