Exploring Esoterica

Fréquence : 1 épisode/109j. Total Éps: 8

Welcome to Exploring Esoterica, the podcast where I explore different esoteric philosophies that have been ridiculed, shunned, and outright banned from society. We take a journey through the culture, history, and the rationale behind each practice. Much of what you find online can be riddled with misinformation, conspiracy theories, and subjective information being relayed as factual. This podcast looks at the facts so that we may gain a better understanding from a comprehensive view instead of an apologetic or polemic one. Let’s wade through the sea of knowledge together and learn how these secret practices have shaped our modern world.

The 12 Houses in Astrology

Épisode 16

dimanche 15 juin 2025 • Durée 28:40

Disclaimer: you will hear faint chirping in the background. The birds were busy that day and I’ve tried to minimize it as much as possible. Apologizes if this is too distracting for you.

This is the third part of the framework of astrology. I discuss the 12 houses in traditional astrology and how they fit together with the planets and zodiac signs.

Previous episodes in this series:

Episode 14: Planets in Ancient Astrology
Episode 12: Hellenistic Astrology
Episode 15: The 12 Signs of the Zodiac

Timestamps:

[01:42] Part 1: The Principles
[11:14] Part 2: The 12 Houses

Key Takeaways:

The houses signify different areas of our life and themes associated with them.
Angular houses are the most important, succedent houses support them, and decline houses are loosely related.
Houses above the horizon are related to the mind and public matters, below related to the body and private matters.

Planets in Ancient Astrology

Épisode 14

vendredi 28 mars 2025 • Durée 41:08

This is the first episode in my astrology series. I go over a brief history of this practice and dive the most important component, which is the planets. This is in terms of ancient astrology, which is slightly different than the popular modern version.

Timestamps:

[00:00] Welcome
[02:34] Part 1: A Brief History

The planets signify external circumstances more than psychological influences like in modern astrology.
Philosophical debates of astrology are similar to those of any spirituality and religion.

In this final episode of my series on traditional astrology, we examine a few of the basic planetary conditions that determine the strength of planets in a chart. This is the fourth and final part of the framework of astrology.

Correction: at 7:13 it shows Sun and Moon are square if Sun in Leo and Moon in Virgo. It should read Scorpio, not Virgo. I’m blaming Mercury currently being Retrograde, haha.
