RURAL VOICES with Dr Garry Phillipson, Astrologer
ASTROLOGY AND THE FUTURE RURAL
For many of us in the west today, astrology brings to mind the daily star-sign column — a light read over morning coffee. This however is a much simplified variant of a craft that has assumed many forms in different parts of the world and has fascinated humankind for millennia.
In May’s Rural Voices, Dr Garry Phillipson invites us to look again at this ancient craft and its relevance to rural life today. Drawing on vivid moments from the history of Western astrology, he’ll explore how people have long used the skies to make sense of change, uncertainty and the future.
Garry will also turn his attention closer to home, asking what astrology might reveal about the future of the Horningsham community— and how symbolic ways of thinking can open up new possibilities for imagining what comes next for small rural communities.
Dr Garry Phillipson is the author of Astrology in the Year Zero and earned his PhD for research into astrology with the University of Wales Trinity St David, where he now tutors in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology.
Expect a thought-provoking session that blends history, storytelling and fresh perspectives on how we navigate the times ahead.
