On this episode of the Star Love Podcast, we welcome astrologer Terry MacKinnel. We discuss Terry’s pioneering work that rectifies the astrological ages (just what age(s) are we in? you’ll be surprised!). A man interested in epochal historical and cultural development, we discuss everything from maritime discoveries to Lucretius to the printing press. Perhaps my favorite part of the interview is the elucidation of Terry’s parallel occupation that dives into the deeper aspects of spirituality. If you’re interested in spirituality, the astrological ages, history, and how to get into the mood of loving life, this is an interview not to be missed!

On episode 9 of the Star Love podcast we welcome astrologer Lori Randall Stradtman. Lori and I met in an online forum under an auspicious Pisces moon and lucky degree (12) of Gemini Rising (to research this further, and maybe use for yourself, purchase this book and go to page 165-166). We discuss Lori’s early interest in mythology, her impressive background in marketing, and her move to use astrology as a tool to guide people to their evolutionary purpose and ultimately, happiness.

Book Recommendations That Cover Topics Discussed

The Happiness Myth is a great book that deconstructs common assumptions about what it means to be happy. Purchase below.

Circe is a wonderful book that gets you in the spirit of magic when you go up against the Gods. There is a gripping description of the story of Prometheus, a mythological character that has played out prominently in Lori’s life. Purchase below.
