In this illuminating conversation, astrologer Mark Jones joins host Tony Howard to explore the profound philosophical contributions of Dane Rudhyar to modern astrology. They discuss how Rudhyar's humanistic approach transformed predictive astrology into a tool for self-actualization and spiritual growth.

Mark explains how Rudhyar, influenced by 20th century psychology and his background as a classical composer, developed key concepts including the "seed principle" and cyclical time. They explore how Rudhyar viewed birth charts not as static deterministic blueprints but as symbolic representations of potential that unfolds through time—comparing it to an acorn containing the pattern for the oak tree it might become.

This episode offers valuable insights into how Rudhyar's vision of astrology as "a yoga with one's destiny" continues to influence contemporary astrological practice, providing a framework that balances cosmic patterns with human agency. Perfect for both astrology enthusiasts and those interested in the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and cosmic symbolism.

In this month's forecast, Tony Howard explores the momentous shift as Saturn moves into Aries and approaches its conjunction with Neptune – the big astrological news of 2025.

Discover how Ryan Holiday's recent experience with censorship at the U.S. Naval Academy perfectly exemplifies a constructive response to a Saturn transit, embodying the Stoic wisdom that "the obstacle is the way." This real-world example shows the potential for growth and self-actualization during challenging transits.

Tony unpacks what Saturn in Aries means for establishing healthy boundaries and inner authority, with special insights for those with placements in late mutable signs or early cardinal signs.

Learn about the Saturn-Neptune conjunction's potential for "sobering up" through the lens of Miles Davis' journey and the deeper exploration of Saturn-Neptune themes in Ryan Coogler's breakout hit film "Sinners."
