“Postcolonial Astrology: Reading the Planets through Capital, Power, and Labor” by Alice Sparkly Kat

Magick Matters

"Tapping into the political power of magic and astrology for social, community, and personal transformation in a cross-cultural approach to understanding astrology as a magical language, Alice Sparkly Kat unmasks the political power of astrology, showing how it can be channeled as a force for collective healing and liberation.
