Episode 6: How Do Tarot and Astrology Actually Work?

(Discussion begins at 22:50)

Dan and Scarlet open the episode with an astrology and tarot forecast for the week of January 28, 2019 to February 3, 2019, followed by a discussion between the hosts about how Tarot and astrology actually work.  The discussion addresses skepticism about the practice of these two forms of divination.  Instead of being treated as provable, predictable sciences, the hosts explain how Tarot and Astrology are more like symbolic languages that connect directly with the human subconscious and encompass the human experience.  Tarot is discussed first, explaining the history and pragmatic reality of how Tarot actually works, and astrology is discussed second, explaining how the movement of the planets can connect your subconscious and sense of identity with symbolic calendars that organize the passage of time.
