The idea of the American Dream brings a nuclear family, white picket fence, and burgeoning Capitalist society to mind. But the origination of this term is much different than what we might think about today.
But first, join Ash and Ty for a breakdown of the important astrological transits for the week:
- Mercury trine Uranus (September 24th)
- Mercury opposite Neptune (September 25th)
- Mercury trine Pluto (September 26th)
- Mercury enters Libra (September 26th)
- Sun and Mercury conjunct South Node (September 29th)
Ty details the history of the term "American Dream", and the pair analyze how the Great Gatsby was part of the origination of this ideal. Ash is extremely excited to deduce that the mystery chart belongs to a well known literary figure who has a most unusual astrology chart that is both lucky and extremely tragic. This might be Ash's favorite episode so far.
