Maralie Armstrong-Rial joins us to discuss this era's particular astrology and what that might mean for virtual space, multiple realities, and digital drugs. You may know Maralie from the music, movement, sound and light duo Human Beast or performing and recording as Valise. We touch upon Uranus in Taurus and then in Gemini, the drug consumption habits of the Neptune in Aquarius generation, generational astrology in contemporary times generally, the transition from Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions from occurring in earth signs to air signs, and passed precedents that might reveal what kinds of trends extend into our unknown future; considering digital drugs, brain training games, multiplicity as a paradigm, the dissolve of binaries and dualism, morality coding, haunted AI, and the very real possibility of speaking to the dead through computers.

V Manuscript returns to continue our conversations about his work. We talk about the nature of the "parsed unit" versus the smooth plane, Mercury vs. Neptune and the Piscean process, diminishing triangles of the PGM, working in 4D, holographic reality and holomovement, unfolding the spectrum of light, the fakeness of numbers and reality of numerals, chakras, techno, noise and more.

For July's (2018) forecast we speak with musician, performer, poet and talismanic scriptomancer V Manuscript, half of HumanBeast. This month includes Mars retrograde in Aquarius, a turbulent Lunar eclipse, to which we harken back to the turn of the millennium and to the avant garde emersion of 1971. V Manuscript supplies an enchanting synthesizer score.
