EP68 Alice Sparkly Kat: Postcolonial Astrology

Stars Like Us: Astrology with Aliza Kelly

Aliza Kelly sits down with astrologer Alice Sparkly Kat (Aries Sun, Aquarius Rising), author of Postcolonial Astrology (look for it in May 2021!). Alice and Aliza discuss the premise of Alice’s book, which aims to understand the influence of Western ideologies on astrological archetypes. They dive into the Sun and its scope—from the gold standard to "white light"—and link its layered history to capitalism and conspiracy theories. We’re living in an era of coded language and alt-right propaganda that attempts to pull us out of reality and into a skewed narrative cloaked in falsities. This moment reminds us of the importance of critical thinking—the ability to recognize misinformation and change your mind accordingly is imperative.
