astrology can be very hard to talk about with the majority of people (often including other astrologers!) because both its study and practice is deeply intertwined with epistemology, aka how we know what we know and to what extent we can know it. plus, metaphysics, history, and translation!

Saturn used to be associated with oceans
why? because as the last and furthest planet visible to the naked eye, Saturn demarcated the boundary of what is known; the land and the tides lapping up to it, and the ruthless, indifferent threat of sickness and death on the sea

i know that astrological patterns contain meaning in much the same way i know that dreams are meaningful
it's not something i could prove or measure, and i know other people experience dreaming differently than i do, but there's no unknowing what i know, the experience is simply too rich

Posobiec, Kirk’s frequent co-host on his podcast and a regular speaker at TPUSA events, was one of the key instigators of Pizzagate in 2017. His career started to really take off when Alex Jones started having him on his show. Doing politics the right way.
