Hello :)))
I am on an astrology break until spring. But, in the meantime please enjoy this chat with Bess Matassa!
Star Charting is out on Duke University Press as part of the “Practices” series.
Books in the Practices series are for real-life hobbyists, devotees, and enthusiasts. They are by and about amateurs in the original sense—those who engage in pursuits out of sheer love and fascination. Practices books show how an ordinary activity like fishing, running, or juggling helps us come to understand ourselves and the world around us. Sleek and incisive, they reveal the pleasures of losing oneself in doing anything that holds sway over us, no matter how common or minor it might seem. They map new places inside us. Practices books will intrigue and challenge an activity’s most ardent practitioners as well as those who never considered their appeal.
We recorded this on the New Moon in Aquarius.
