Episode 5: Angela Davis

On today's episode of Star Gays: The Queer Astrology Archives Podcast, we are going to do a deep dive into the chart of Marxist feminist scholar/activist Angela Davis. Davis has been a life-long activist and scholar, drawing connections between racism, capitalism, sexism, and abolition. We look to her Taurus rising as well as her Aquarius Sun and Moon to understand Davis' relationship to communism, capitalism, and the structures that create the conditions for oppression and liberation. Then we use Secondary Progressions to map out the chapters of her life. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, rate, review and subscribe to Star Gays.
