After the news that renowned clairvoyant Mystic Meg has recently passed into the next realm, we decided to focus our energy on all things astrological. Zodiacs, tarot cards and horoscopes can seem irrational, but is believing in astrology bad for you or can it shed light on the human condition? In this week’s podcast, we discuss astrology. Have beliefs in astrology declined in recent years or have we simply filled this void with other things? We unpack the decline of organised religion in the Western world, the relationship between narcissism and astrology, the Australian Sheep-Goat Scale and discuss how spirituality manifests itself in contemporary society. Finally, we analyse each other’s horoscopes. A few things we mentioned in this podcast: - Mystic Meg: Astrologer dies aged 80 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64900348 - British public reveal their beliefs in new survey https://www.bmgresearch.co.uk/british-public-reveal-beliefs-new-survey/ - Are we becoming more narcissistic? https://w
