Joli and Aswin welcome Sam Reynolds and Jessica Irene to the show hot off the press with their recent engagement! In this episode, we hear some of the background stories of Sam's proposal to Jessica, the astrology they use--and don't use--in their every-day lives, and generally what it's like to be an astrology couple! The conversation meanders through philosophical thoughts and vignettes in the life of two people coming together with a shared love of the study of the stars. And of course we touch on synastry and what is worth zooming in on when looking at a couple's charts together :)

What are 'lots'--sometimes called 'Arabic Parts'--in astrology? What do they say to astrologers and how are we meant to understand them? Join Joli & Aswin as they discuss these questions and more with special guest, Lars Panaro. What does Heidegger have to do with astrological lots? How do the lots connect to Plato's theory of Forms? This longer episodes explores the philosophical and numinous qualities of the lots at length--with a peep down just a few rabbit-holes to boot!

Joli and Aswin welcome their special guest, Nicola Allan, to the show to talk all about decans! Nicola is founder of The Wild Way, where she weaves her art and writing with astrology and divination.

She is currently working on creating a tarot deck which you can get involved with here: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/4634f681-5517-46a7-a93f-0acb966631f9/landing

During the discussion we briefly mentioned Manilius. Manilius does talk about decans in his great work, Astronomica, but he presents a system that is unique among Hellenistic astrologers.

Instead of assigning Egyptian deities or planetary rulers to the decans, Manilius distributes each 10-degree portion of a sign to another zodiac sign. Manilius described the decan system as a form of "heavenly fellowship" or "hospitality," arguing that no sign has exclusive control over itself, rather signs *share* their powers with others in equal ten-degree portions. Manilius was noted for being the first to use the specific word "decanus" in an astrological context.
