#122 Postcolonial Astrology with Alice Sparkly Kat

Hey friends,

I’m happy to celebrate the beginning of autumn in the Northern hemisphere with you all by sharing this absolutely delightful interview with Alice Sparkly Kat. Here is some of what we talked about:

  • Relating to the plants and relating to our bodies
  • Alice’s book about postcolonial astrology
  • How astrology can help us write new stories and re-imagine our beliefs and identities
  • How to get started diving deeper into astrology

Enjoy!

Hi, I’m Yarrow

I’m a writer, grief companion and tarot reader living on the East coast of Scotland. 

I facilitate creative projects and gentle rituals for seasons of loss, make handmade textile magic and host the Grief Glimmers podcast. My wish is to change the culture around grief and death so that we can explore these experiences as gateways into a softer, more embodied life.
