This is a highly unusual video for at least two reasons; the first of which is that it is one of the most outstanding videos on positional astronomy that I have come across on the internet. The second is that the educator is an astrologer. Let me be clear that I agree with the modern scientific consensus; astrology is unable to live up to most of its claims (the studies of Gauqelin being a possible exception). Nevertheless, for its cultural and historical merits I believe it behooves educated individuals to learn something of it’s details and background. Entirely aside from this agenda, this lecture, totaling almost two hours of material, is of value to even the most staunchly skeptical of astronomy students.
