The Astrology of Today: History and Politics

Why do certain political patterns repeat? How do we make sense of collective upheaval, cultural shifts, and moments when history seems to accelerate? This class explores astrology as a tool for understanding power, timing, and the arc of political movements—not as prediction, but as pattern recognition.

We'll examine how planetary cycles correspond with historical turning points, explore the astrological signatures of major political events, and discuss what current transits reveal about the moment we're living through. You'll learn to recognize how cosmic cycles show up in collective behavior and cultural transformation.

This class is part lecture, part discussion, and designed for anyone curious about how astrology illuminates the forces shaping our shared reality. No prior astrology knowledge required—just bring your questions about the world around you.
