Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

Rebecca Beachy reimagined a copper coal hod in the shape of a globe to link past and present material trajectories of progress that emerged from the devastation of the great Chicago fire. On its surface, she has drawn a star-map of the fateful night of October 8, 1871.

Sun/North Node 9th house conjunction in a tight square squeeze between 12th house Mars and Saturn. It’s complicated! Childhood it showed up as getting constantly thrust into the limelight by a narcissistic and hyper-religious dad, I def preferred to hide.

4th house moon on the IC ruling my 9th house sun. Nature, death, land, mysteries, and vacillating between feeling most at home when abroad and a contentment to never leave the apartment

It’s a classic!

Awesome, this is entirely new to me.

Thanks, Jenn—I hadn’t heard of this!

Thank you, great suggestion!

I agree, most resources are for learning how to practice astrology over getting a broad sense of overarching philosophy.

Thank you, I haven’t read this!

Thanks, this is new to me!

Thanks, Bear. Good idea, I was thinking Cornelius!

Astrologers—I’m looking for one text or article that introduces astrology succinctly and somewhat academically to an unfamiliar audience. What is your top choice?

This is the most insightful presentation I’ve attended in a long time. She would not call it astrology but their work synchronizes perfectly. youtu.be/lfM-Aab-27U?...
