Astrologer and asteroid expert Amy Angelo joins host Jenn Zahrt from Manhattan, NY for the centenary episode of Within Orb! Join Amy and Jenn as they talk about asteroids, astrology (and non-astrology!) books and more, including: eclipses as portals of transformative moments; a deep dive into the epic of Gilgamesh; and the power of the daimon. Plus: the idea that studying Hellenistic astrology teaches you how to think, a sacred journey while learning from Demetra George, and wormhole portal math!
